Kokolett: Do you know what it means to be a General? How many female Generals can you point to in the US army or in any army in the world? Its not as if there is a glass ceiling. Nature so has it that no matter how hard a woman tries, there are certain things that are attainable simply because its not in a woman. Answer this? Can a woman take decisions that would likely end in the destruction of lives including that of women and children? Being a General is not just an office. Its an office that takes guts, stone cold ironlike guts. Will a woman be able to take a decision to send her troops into battle with the ever present though that each battle could be their last and that their deaths would be as a result of her decision? 8 Likes |

Kokolett:see when it comes to the milliatry , you should first take note of their type of recruitment : 1 REGULAR INTAKE 2 DSSC 4 SSC. 5 the Almighty cadet (RC) the best way of gaining a generalship is to be recruited through the RC ( Regular combatants) which women were not allowed until 2010 when Godluck Jonathan was in power. the first female RC graduated in NDA last year 2015 though the army latter stop the recruitment of females in NDA 2016 excluding Navy and air force . 1 Like |

Kokolett: Whats with you? Are there no women officers in the army, airforce, navy etc? Do you think a woman general will make all the women in Nigeria fulfilled and happy. Forcing women into roles not suitable for them isnt right. 1 Like |

There are female generals in the Army. Major General AO Amusu is the second woman in the history of the Nigerian Army to attain the rank of a Major General (two star General). She is a medical doctor and currently the Commandant of 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital Kaduna. The first woman to attain the rank of a Major General in the Nigerian Army is Major General Aderonke Kale.
