One of the dreams of most young people in Nigeria is to go to the Defence Academy. This statement is validated with the mass application into the institution year after year. The fact is only a small percentage of those that applied ever get admitted into Defence Academy. Those that managed to pass the initial examination are subjected to medical screening to check their fitness to be admitted. The medical screening is called the Almighty remover because of the large number of candidates who are screened out after the exercise due to various reasons.
I appliied for the 72 regular course, passed the exams and was later screened out after the medicals. When the doctor started telling the candidates the reason for their disqualification, he told me I had a big scrotum. I almost pulled down my short for every one to see. Where did the big scrotum come from? I was amazed, sad and dejected at the same time. While I was thinking about what to do with my life , I started hearing funny reasons from other candidates. One girl told me they told her she was pregnant.
So what is your experience in medical screening in the Nigerian Defence Academy.
