For where they are and what they are doing they don't need it. Helmets are not exactly fashion accessories. Helmets are not comfortable. And those two need comfort to handle their tasks which is very, very important. Generally the helmet goes with the rifle which means infantry operations or engagements. There is no evidence these are infantry men or they are in harm's way.

I kinda disagree. As a Soldier it is imperative that the uniform standards are met at all times especially in a combat zone. I'd rather be protected than feel comfortable. Try wearing a flak vest, NVG, kevlar and still have your weapon slung when performing everyday tasks. It's not easy but that is where repetitive training discipline comes into it. The enemy won't exactly tell you when they are coming, will they? For me, we are taught that your rifle must never be more than the distance of your arm away from you and your kevlar must always be on your head except during chow in the field. Irrespective of military designation, be it cook, infantry, combat engineer, when in a combat zone, you are infantry first and military designation second for the simple reason that you might be attacked anytime and the enemy won't distinguish between cook and infantry man. But like i said, we don't know what the uniform policy of the Nigerian army during combat operations.

If you are not poor in cash,then you are poor in character

'nuff said.

Only in Nigeria. The daughter of a convicted embezzler is vying for public office. In a civilized country, public opinion would have denied her the luxury of contesting, but not in Nigeria. Normally, any family stain of this nature should wake people up to the fact she could potentially do same or worse. But like i said, Nigerians don't think like that.

xreal:
Echo....
Over... Over!

GEJ no provide helmets for them?
He don embezzle the money meant for that again.

Or, they are not just disciplined enough to wear it/their supervisors are not enforcing the uniform standards/probably there are no uniform standards.

So that guy get children and him dey fool himself for stage like that hmm let him not call devil when his children tries stoping a taxi to go home after a party they hosted in their house

It's called talent bro, and it'll do you good to recognize it. He is a rare Nigerian using what he has to get what he needs in a honest fashion. As long as he is not using illegal means to generate wealth and people are willing to pay for his services, who are we to criticize?

Please someone should tell me what I don't know o. A sister is abroad and
I went to deposit money into her GTB account but she couldn't withdraw this money thru ATM as her balance was showing 0 naira. I went to make complaint at her bank only to be told that her account had become dormant. Up till now, she's still abroad and we believe the money will be in the account. Are you telling me this money I went to deposit when her account was dormant won't be credited to her account?

Someone pls explain to me o.

Dormant accounts can be tricky. To GTB, it is same as the account being closed. Your sister needs to physically show up at the bank to re open the account. I hope that helps. What confuses me is the amount you deposited should not have been accepted in the first place.

My good people of nairaland and beyond, Pls I am presently working as a biometric staff with diamond bank as a contract staff. But I got offer from AB micro finance as a loan officer. The pay for diamond is 50k while that of AB is 70k. The diamond work come wit no stress while the AB micro finance is loaded wit stress and the threat to meet target. Pls give me your good advice my dear brothers.

I would advice you to leave the stress free job and migrate to the one loaded with stress. At least that is all we crave in life; more stress and high blood pressure.

modestbrowser:
Very long.

Its just long and boring.

So boring its not interesting.

And that bros, is the reason why Nigerians are living in bondage. The looters are betting that since it's "long and boring" and the picture of half naked nollywood stars and Psquare are not in it, Nigerians won't be interested. Even though there are pertinent information in it.

Nigerian's politics is the weirdest i have ever seen. What has coffins have to do with politics for God's sake. Worse still is most Nigerians see nothing wrong with this mentality. Election time, Nigerians will be like "oh my God, why are people killing each other?". Theatricals like this is the reason why. This do or die mentality needs to stop.

Frankfurt has to be one of the ugliest cities on the planet - I would never go there unless required.

Very few German cities are what you might consider charming or beautiful - Munich might be the exception. German villages are much nicer.

If you are ever in the Bayern area, check out Weiden. It's like lagos Island with a lot less people and cleaner.

If you really want to enjoy visiting overseas/abroad/Europe, go stay in rural areas that's close to urban cities. No joke, cities overseas can be freaking annoying and irritating. Case in point, Paris, Frankfurt, Holland for example. Too many people and very very rude, especially Paris. Rural areas have nothing but clean air, minimal traffic, courteous people and plenty of parking space. And there are plenty of historical landmarks to see especially in Germany and England. If you want to club and party + pick up chicks, by all means, the city is what you want. If you like smoking Ganja then Holland is where you want. Its freaking legal.

Before you keep speewing hatred, go to Academy and find out how many Generals sons have been kicked out for indiscipline!

Like i said: Nigerian logic and reasoning at it's finest.

SirShymexx:
Lmao.

You're an NCO for fvck sake.

Let's just leave it at that...and not everyone is Nigerian from Nigeria. And some people have a better understanding of things than you do...shiit is more complex than what you see on the surface.

Anyway, continue ya debate with Missy89.

Roger that.

SirShymexx:
Lmao @ an NCO who never attended a military academy, debating the politics involved with someone who attended one...and berating her, by accusing her of using google - hysterical. The guy is funny, though.

I'm enjoying ya shiit, MissyBigHead - educate that nyggah.

The 3rd eye is watching.

Nigerian logic will always amaze me.

Missy89:
But the topic is about Military academies which you never attended or did you? I asked earlier you didn't really answer the question, Instead you accused me of taking snipets online

An academy which is part of a system that i am part of and understand very well. why? the transition from NCO to officer is well engrained in every soldier in case one decides to make the switch. I have never heard of someone just showing up at ROTC or OCS school because of connections. This is not the 18th century where one can just be drafted into service. The days of the draft is over which is exactly why what you have suggested is not possible. It is an all volunteer force where only 1 percent of the population wants to join. This is why i said initially that your views are biased because what you know is people bribing themselves into service and subjecting themselves to the mercies of a quota system. Here, there is no quota system nor the need to bribe. There are recruiters who go out and pretty much beg people to join. That's right, you heard me, They beg. That is also why the army gives bonuses as much as 40k to join. They need raw talent which is why they pay to get qualified people in. So, going by your logic, why do i need connections to get in or bribe my way in when i can get a bonus for joining?. Lastly, i wasn't trying to insult you. The only way you know what you know right now is because you are using google and wiki. I was just stating facts.

Missy89:
I hear you. I am gathering sinpets from Google and wiki and every officer in the US military got into the academies by merit and you are giving me first hand information because you are a NCO in the US army.

That's correct. And oh, i don't know how people get into ivy leagues because i am not in an ivy league school, but i do know how the U.S army works because i am a soldier.

Missy89:
How do you think Biden's son who was in the reserves got into the prestigious position in the first place? You cant understand how academies work if you dont attend one. There is a big difference between following the rules once you are in and getting admitted in the first place. Go to any US military academy and you will see 3rd and 4th generation average officers that got on based on legacy because their father or grandfather was once a member of the Joint chiefs or a top brass in the pentagon.

I dont even need to argue this with anyone. Its like saying getting into an ivy league is based on merit.

You know what? I need my head examined for arguing with you. You are gathering snipets from google and wiki and throwing it together without understanding the basics. I am giving you first hand information. Being in the reserves does not mean you cannot be an officer or reach the highest grade in the service. The only difference is as a reservist, you are a soldier part time and is only activated to full time when a deployment comes up. After your deployment you go back to being part time. I'm done. Have a good weekend.

Optimisticgondy:
Shuu! Oga Andrew! So you're Officer in the US Army? I trowey salute o

Lol....

Missy89:
You are a NCO so you never went to any US military academy did you? You got in thru a recruiter? If you follow my post you will know where i live. was in a 4YRS AFROTC in college

Irrespective of which training or designation you undergo to be part of the service, the climate we have does not give room for what you have suggested. Every soldier is held to the 7 army values. Vice president Joe Biden's Son was just kicked out of the military for conduct unbecoming of an officer. This is the son of the second most powerful person in the world. Why didn't his dad use politics to keep him in? To get in and graduate the military academy is solely based on merit. It is very simple: pass the asvab and you are in. Fail the asvab and you are out. There is no room for knuckle heads.

Missy89:
No i am not. I am speaking form experience. There is politics in every military academy

You are speaking from experience as you know it being a Nigerian living in Nigeria. Are you saying the same applies to the U.S military? Just so you know, i am a NCO in the U.S army, so i know what i am talking about.

Missy89:
Every military academy in the world does that. Its all about who you know. Most military officers always push their kids or family in for legacy reasons and others get in thru who they know.That is just military politics nothing more. It is not a Nigerian thing. The quota system is even more important in a very heterogeneous Nigeria.

Many high score students usually get in by enlisting and not thru the academy. The academy is always reserved for the students that knows someone for the most part. That is how the military establishment works.

Please take everything you have said back. The problem is you are looking at everything from the point of view of a Nigerian, so you biased. Some countries do what you have mentioned but a lot don't.

drpips1:
this thread gives enuf dose of good laugh with amusing minds on this thread, the fact is as long as u cant show a[b] live proof[/b], u re a fake trader, if u trade your hardearned money,your philosophy will be quiet diff both in values and belief,i appreciate all the great minds in this thread fighting for whats real,admist the vampire traders we have in here ready to prey and devour the fresh newbies who will falsely believe in them,but to the wise ones ,i will only have to say that real recognises real,and same thing happens to the banking s**t..........

As i have said many times, if a lot more people would think through their thoughts and actions before engaging in them they would be a lot better off. Now i have to rebutt your infantile comments and at the end you'll be like "damn, i should have kept my mouth shut. Now i look like a. . . ". Here we go:

FOR THE NEWBIES: LIVE PROOF
I hope to God that everything i have been trying to impart is sinking in because failure to do so will ultimately leave you in a world of hurt. I have been doing this for a long time and i've seen some real phucked up shiiit all in the name of trading. I've done things i am not proud of during my learning stage and still regret them till today. This is the reason that i refuse the ones on this same thread asking me to manage their accounts. So, for starters, do you know that there are ways to doctor an account to such an extent that if i tell you to sell your house and car in other for me to trade your account you would? In the U.S and Europe it would be difficult and i wouldn't try it, but in Nigeria were the concept of money management is still at it's infancy, traders like drpips would swallow it hook, line and sinker. I have done this in the past and it was not pretty nor did it end well. There are some brokers you can sign up with and when you put in a thousand dollars, your platform will reflect a hundred thousand. Lets leave that for a while and ask why would i want to show you proof if not for the ulterior motive of canvassing you to let me manage your account for you. My money is mine and my account is mine. You are not going to shear in it. I've seen traders, who even though they had thousands of dollars in their account, they only had that much because of a pyramid scheme designed in such a way as to give the impression of a valid account. Lets not go too far. On this same thread we've seen how Odiaero was exposed for doing exactly what i have just described. Even if i decided to stoop low and show you live proof, a lot of you would say it is zimbabwean dollars. That has been said here on this very thread. Either you accept what i am telling you or you don't. That is enough for me. Then again, i understand why a lot of traders in Nigeria are the way they are. The economy is phucked up, there are no jobs, everything is hard and yet on FTA there are stories of this wonderful and easy way to make a gazzilion dollars overnight trading forex. Fustration sets in when, after investing in it, nothing is at it seems. The ones spreading this fallacy are the ones hell bent on duping young traders saying forex is just forex. Always ask yourself this question; why would anyone ask to manage your funds. If he is making those millions overnight, then what does he need mine for? There are ways to manage other peoples money. You could open a licensed investment firm or open/invest in a pamm account. A lot of people are angry because i am spoiling business and it is no longer business as usual. I would too if i were them. And some are just pissed that at the idea that anyone can promulgate trading as a long term endeavour. "5 years compounding? WTF, i have school fees/house rent to pay". Well, sorry to burst your bubble, that is just the way it is.
In an unfair way as well, i think i am comparing my situation with a lot of traders. I don't need to trade for sustenance. I am trading towards retirement, so ten years means nothing to me. I am very well off. I have a solid career and live in a country where my economic circumstance is very predictable. Maybe that is why i am patient and maybe i shouldn't expect same from everyone. I'm just lucky. 'nuff said.

@forexmarts. I appreciate the kind words.
