Never lived in a barracks, but always passed through Myohaung Barracks on my way to school with my friends who lived in the barracks. I also attended extra mural lessons in Myohaung Barracks.The place is so unkempt, exposed soakaway, dirts everywhere. The officers apartment was clean though. Thats was the first place i smelt weed and heard about igbo (never smoked weed) when i was in SSS 1.

Temismith: hey dude, I donno d barracks u re talkin about, but am very sure dat airforse base its not anything near ur description. I stayed in NAF BASE for 12years and mhen, twas a gud childhood experience. All d kids came out to play wen our parents had gone to work and as soon as u see ur parents coming, u scamper like a mad dog. Twas a place where pidgin english was our language of communication. We never shared toilets cos evry house had deirs. We never paid nepa bills too.

temismith, which of the airforce base did u stay, is it ikeja?, a base with a serene and beautiful environment that can easily pass for an estate, all thanks to sam ethnan of blessed memory.

Well,different experience for different people and these barracks are different from each other ranging from Military Barracks to Police Barracks to Air Force Base...I stayed @ Alausa Police Barracks which is the smallest police barracks,just six blocks which are two storey building,three floors, 24 apartments each,two bedroom to be precised,one single officer's block which is a storey building,then two other bungalows and finally a 4 bedroom duplex where the former Lagos State Police PRO Bode Ojajuni stays...One way or the other,its a 'Behind' barracks considering the vicinity we are,opposite our barracks is the Lagos state secretariat,house of assembly,beside us to the left is Mitv/Star Fm,actually we share same fence with Mitv and if you walk down the left syd after Mitv and move across the express,you'll get to Magodo,behind us is MKO Abiola/Marwa Garden Estate,if you walk past MKO estate,you'll get to Femi Kuti's African Shrine..and now to the right with few meters away is the new Ikeja Shoprite..Because of this area we are,most us try to blend with the area and not to follow the regular way of life in the barrack,we are calm and act very educated and I tell you when you get to my barracks now,its as dry as anything,whY? Most of the youths are now in the university and some of us are already working unlike most other barracks out there where youths are jobless and aint even going to school...The area in which we found our barracks really contributed a positive impact...ALAUSA POLICE BARRACKS IKEJA

Air force base Ikeja is just da bomb...its neat, good drainage, you can't see people fighting there...if think am lying try and visit there...just by airport road ikeja

You are one hell of a liar, almost sure you have never spent a night in the barrack.
The barrack is a little community where discipline is learnt, a place where character is built, where responsibility is passed down at early age. Like Every other place on earth, it is natural to have the good, the bad and the ugly.
In all, I am proud of the time spent in the barrack.

sharrap jor which barracks u don stay? @op u r on point! I've lived in d barracks 4 26 years (not kidding)chai OP u b real barrack guy o

Close friend of mine grew up in the barracks, Ikeja Cantonement to be precise. In his next life he would never smell a barracks again. According to him, it takes special grace for a barracks kid to come out good. He got exposed to sex at age 9, infact it was a free for all trade. Older gals despoiling younger boys under d staircase, and every other free space available. Thankfully, after a great deal of struggle, he's been able to overcome all the bad habits he imbibed from living in the barracks

angelsing: @Adufaye: navy town is really cool, apart from the junior quarters were u have so much pple. The other quarters are really quite and beatiful.

yea....no b lie

I was born and raise in a barrack (navy town ojo to be precise) stayed dere 4 about 15 yrs b4 my dad retired and I must say dat was d best 15 years of my life cos in d barrack u see different characters, d gud, d bad and d ugly.d decent 1 n d wayward ones too. Even tho d rooms was small, it was like a mini estate, very clean and power supply was wonderful. So I dunno what dis dude is talking about, maybe he's referring to army barracks o something. Cos d barrack I grew up in is far from what ure saying. And besides we didn't share toilet and bathroom with our neighbours :\
