A normal NDA 1st-3rd student sleeps 2-3hrs everyday i.e 12am - 2 or 3am, and already get to class by 4-5am..not to mention a 4th year student that doesn't get to sleep at all for days sometimes..so tend to catch some Sleep at any given opportunity..

this is one of the reasons nigeria has never produced a field marshal
termal 4 peeps crashing hard
now to be serious the major reason why people do not get to that rank is because they retire, in fact people that get to brigadier general level are very powerful and connected people, most people retire at major general level. 2 Likes |

dem don catch u, next time no lie this kain stupid lie for here, if you really went through nda, you would know that becoming a field marshal is next to impossible, the only way one can actually become a field marshal is if you commanded as a general throughout wars like ww2, ww1 with victory. in fact the whole of africa has generated only one field marshal since inception(nigeria as a nation has never had someone that rose to the rank of a field marshal). Africa has generated more than 6 field marshals. Google is a good friend but i agree that it is practically impossible to attain such position in Nigeria. |
