Lived in one of the best baracks in the country back then for a while. The now defunct 311 Field Artillery Regiment, Epe. Well laid out, neat modern buildings all ensuite, electricity and water to all flats and best of all a private beach where we chill out on weekends and eat plenty coconuts. What an experience. It didn't feel like a barrack at all, more like those adventure expeditions. Yes it was far. |

I was once a barrack boy and I had plenty of fun and learned plenty things for myself. Barrack children are bad barrack children are bad it all depend on the individual mindset. I tried to distinguish myself from the others back then because I focused on the future irrespective of the fact that sometimes I joined up to cook one funny act or another. |

This is my Roll-Call: Myohaung barracks, Lagos ( small place, kind of cozy and warm) Ribadu Cantonment, kaduna (The Good, the bad and the most awesome) ECR Ede, Osun State ( More of a farming community than an Army barracks) |

Odunharry: Now u are talking, of all forces, police barrack is d dirtiest..in bonny camp where I stay all dis u listed up does not happen, we don't pay nepa bills, each flat comes wit kitchen and toilets as long as u are a soldier, except for those dat are retired and given bungalow to stay pending wen they get their entitlements...it is most safe and fun living there, and for d fighting, it hardly happen as pple get punished severly for it..as for gossiping, yes I agree wich is nor where idleness is other of d day..pple cooperate wella there, only in d barrack u will leave your children wit neighbours while u are out for daily bread..the issue of rape is rear (except for those girls wey dey dress half naked go greet man for house). Barack the most secured and fun place to stay..u will always recount your memory there |

Odunharry:There are different types of structures in the barracks and bases and every personnel residing there, depending on their ranks, is assigned one. There are CBQs, SNCOQs, etc. Can't remember the meanings now. For the CBQs, they are of different types. Some have 4 toilets & 4 bathrooms to each floor of about 10 rooms and parlour and others have one toilet and bathroom to a room and parlour. The SNCOQs are structures with 2bedroom flat apartment and are different from CBQs. The officers(captain) and above have their own structures too which is different from the CBQs & SNCOQs. The officers & SNCO quarters are not usually as jam-packed as the CBQs. The officer's children are quite different(behaviourally and otherwise) from others even within the same barracks. So, depending on the type of structure/quarters you lived in, you might have a different story to tell. I grew up in 4 different army barracks in 4 different states in Nigeria and the last was army cantonment Ikeja. I was there during the January 2002 bomb blast. I survived it. Life in the barracks was fun for me remembering my childhood days. People who lived in the barracks have the tendency of being aggresive and stronger. It's the military up-bringing and koboko things. You just can't oppress a barrack boy or girl. Was glad I grew up in the barracks cos there are benefits. |

I had a sad and wonderfull experience.I used to reside in an Estate close to a Military Barracks and we usually crossed over to go look for women.I was dating a Col.Daughter and will never forget the day I was given d beating of my life by the Jealous Junior officers who were guiding the Officers Quarter after taking orders from the Lady Daughter. I had fun when I relocated and usually go to visit my Cousin who is an Officer and I usually follow him around intimidating and Harrasing civilians and Junior officers. |
