IQscanner: I'll discourage you from doing so. The Nigerian army is fodder for government-backed terrorists. Your commander-in-chief is also the grand patron of those disturbing the peace of the country. But if you insist, then you should wait for the direct short service program which they do every year where they recruit graduates for a 6-month training after which you become a captain. Just check the dailies or check their websites constantly. 1 Like |

IQscanner: Since no one wants to answer let me answer. Apply for DSSC or direct short service commission. Get your documents, fill the paperwork, get 2 sureties and between now and next year you will be shipped off to the Nigerian Defence Academy for nine months officer training. You will come out as a Second Lieutenant which is the lowest officer position and you can work your way up from there. Keep in mind, there are height and health requirements and you can be denied at any time. Also the duration of service is at least 12 years do don't join unless you are willing to spend that time. And finally being an officer does not exempt you from combat, new recruits are usually shipped off to high conflict areas immediately after graduation. 1 Like |

IQscanner: As a masters degree also, I did short service and was at the backroom operations from some operating base, then got shipped into the MOD due to vast knowledge in all things technical and communications. You will most likely not be on the field due to your degree, more in background operations. If you have good knowledge in signals and communications along with some equipment operations. Then you would work from operations base Do note I had connection who only put weight behind the vetting process. Just be technically sound and your skills will move you 3 Likes |

Omo, But why? Is it money that’s ur problem or you need a career to enhance ur life? Well, What I know is that, for about 15 years of your trade in the military, you wouldn’t make anything reasonable in life. Maybe when you’ve attained the height of colonel or equivalent in other arm of services that you’d boast of something reasonable in life. 15 years is enough to become a multi billionaire if you can start up a profitable business from scratch. It’s upto you to decide. Goodluck! 1 Like |

IQscanner:As a graduate, Your option is to APPLY through DSSC or SSC you will come out with 2nd Leut rank and will be able to serve in the army for 10-15 years. https://ims.army.mil.ng/military-secretary The good thing about this opportunity is that after 5 or 8 years of service, you can resign from the army. You will receive your training for 9 months at the Nigeria Defense Academy (NDA Kaduna) and the training won't be like the private soldiers recruitment. One major problem is that, the DSSC and SSC application is very competitive and hard to get. But if you have God's backing, a very strong godfather, support from a top army officer with least rank of major, or an endorsement from your state top political office holder, you stand a better chance. 1 Like |

IQscanner:So in everything happening, you no see another thing do with your life, na heavily compromised Nigerian Army you want to join. If you are a Southerner, look for something else do do with your life but if you wish to die before your time, then feel free to proceed. I don't know how you people will be in a country and not have an idea of the kind of evil politics being played to render your life useless and you still feel the army is the best place to build on. To give you an idea... there are hundreds of soldiers languishing in prison for speaking against injustice as it relates to bokoharam attacks on soldiers while same bokoharam is being pardoned and reintegrated into the society. Is that the kind of life you want for yourself? Is that what you really want to do with your life? Young man, go and learn a digital skill. spend time on Youtube and learn. You will make money with what you learn if you are determined. 4 Likes |

IQscanner:I will advise you not to join the army because it appears that is not your calling. You may want to know why I said so; My reason is that if that is your calling, I bet you would have known your way as early as when you were in year two. All through your days in school, meeting and passingby several military personnel, you never had the courage and passion to ask them to tell you how to get through the process until now, definitely you don't belong there bro. 2 Likes |
