Simple explanation : for you to attain the rank of a general in the military, u must go tru regular NDA training. So in the years past, women were only admitted into the short service program. That is, for you to be a general u have to go tru regular NDA program as in u have to spend 5 yrs at NDA not 9 months(short service /DSS). But as some1 posted earlier, the first female major general retired some 4 or 5 yrs back she was in the medical Corps. No worries soon we will have female generals cos females now attend regular NDA courses. |

Kokolett: My guy, There are indeed some female Generals in the Nigerian Army still serving. The attached is a photo of a serving female Brigadier General with her husband. Most of our female Generals belongs to corps like, and especially, Medical. As for the Lieutenant Colonel or Colonels, we have many of them all over our various barracks in the country. And with this photo, you should believe now. http://www.cknnigeria.com/2015/12/this-is-first-nigerian-army-couple.html?m=1 |

I don't think we have enough females in the Army, I rarely see a female soldier, only female police and other smaller forces... therefore if they're very few, the probability of getting to general status is far lower. |

Because the army didn't had provision for female cadets in the regular courses except for DSS (short service).... Bt now there are regular female cadets in the NDA and it was introduced by former President Goodluck Johnathan in 2010. the first set will be graduating (POP)by september this year I.e after five years of training. So hopefully we will be having more female generals in the future. NB. It is rare to find a DSS officer (short service), irrespective of gender to attain the rank of General before retirement |
