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.

CBQ means Corporal and Below Quarters. SNCOQ means Senior Non Commissioned Officers Quarters; from the rank of Sergeant and above you are a SNCO below that na corporal and below. Different barracks may have different levels/grades of infrastructure depending on the size. Most barracks have a SOQ, Senior Officers Quarters which host Commandants and Commanders of Units or officers from the equivalent rank of Colonel and above. Some have quarters around the officers Mess where junior officers and those Senior officers who desire to live there can stay.

Reference:
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.

Barack's full of sh*t! I neva plan to go there again. If u wan experience a 'typical rough life' go liv 4 S&T Barack in Benin

I used to think therel is discipline there.

Living in the Army Barracks was a mixed event for me. From Rukuba(Jos), then Akim(Calabar),Mokola (Ibadan), Abakpa(Enugu),Ikeja(Lagos)then Dodan barracks.It was really an adventure.
The barracks contributing in making a better me.My dad being a soldier will never tolerate any form of indiscipline. I remember esp. the Babangida days in Dodan Barracks.

I live in a barrack presently gan, ajayi bembe police barrack, lagos island, i gotta say, living there i have learnt a lot, from being beaten to bullied. lol, d play dah we use to play sef, mobuyo, i call on etc. sha living there was dope sha nd i no dy dul. why we speaking english nt pidgin as per barrackians lol.

Whao! From Bori Camp, to Bassawa, Akim, Mokola, Bonny Camp, Dodan Barracks, and Abakpa cantoment, living in the barracks was a mixed experience.However, generally, the barrack instilled discipline & hardwork in me.Parents were still disciplinarian.

CBQ···········Ikeja military cantonment all the way.The place wey pidgin be lingua franca. Children ceremonial dress na kpata or boxer. Big girls dey come from dilapidated buildings con dey form for oshodi. Boys na real hustlers for maryland.

Women too dey gossip like say tmoro no dey. Women main occupation na to sell roasted fish n fry garry in some cases. Na there u go see children bearing the names of days of d week such as Friday, Monday,etc. Na there I first hear say pipu dey bear Tuesday as name.

Life for nite na anoda thing at Mami market where burukutu and suya de rein. After some cups of burukutu u go dey hear tory of First word war from d old sojas dem with different song. Better rifle dey, better suya dey,ogogoro dey, burukutu dey.

Old boy I feel your vibes.You be real Ikeja boy.
