Hahahahaha! A bosom friend now retired after a fulfilling career and attaining the rank equivalent to a Colonel in the NA once had the leftover water and contents in a pot in which semovita was made turned over his head located by a gutter just because a Senior Officer considered that my friend did not salute him well enough! Beasts! That’s how they die with pot bellies spilled over the steering of Tundras having stolen the Defence Budget! Smart and efficient Soldiers are nit cruel! They are fine gentlemen who win battles and wars by military strategies not cruelty!

Imagine. To the last line, absolutely. Thanks

What a waste of time

A cousin recently(76RRI) trained in the Nigerian army recruitment Depot(depot NA).He said the training was really demanding and dangerous too. Sometimes individuals lost their lives in the process of the training. He told that they hardly sleep at night and for the period he was undergoing training, he could count how many nights he slept for alteast 3 hours(night) so horrible. The Instructors are so cruel and full of anger as if they had personal hatred for you being there. If you complain when on these intense training you are in trouble. If you dare make any moves like you are about to abandon the training and flee, da..mn, you are DEAD on that parade ground. The punishments are either very hard and often obviously illegal punishments. Purnishment like cleaning toilets or moving heavy objects, sitting on your head. Other punishments include doing push ups, colleagues being ordered to flog you like fulani cows, drinking soap, eating mud from the gutter, punishment that are not meant for human

I will never understand this part of African military training. How are you expected to build a fighting force if you kill off the few who volunteered? If things were rough I believe the training will steer towards preserving lives. Humans have breaking points, pushing them past their limits break them completely and turn the remaining alive into animals. It's no wonder they pour frustration on members of the public, it's likely PTSD at this point.
