Do you even realise how stupid you sound lidis. "Citizen of their country..." which country exactly? Lol...

At your own risk ⛔️

It is only someone that want to waste his or her time will apply for this vacancy. Slot that have been shared among senators, governors, ministers and president.

I thought the screening has already been concluded and they are in training? Is this announcement being done late to save face? Very amusing.

Idrismusty97:
They opened it yesterday and 5000 people already applied . Now that it's has gotten to the front page with deadline being May then Maybe it will get to 100,000 applicants. For barely 200 slots , na wa o. This country is really really screwed, may God help us.

This is not recruit o, if only you know how many people have applied and will do anything to get in. They only take in roughly 200+ slots among tens of thousands of candidates.

Do you know how these DSSC guys are being killed daily in Borno. Joining NA at any rank now is sucide.

Idrismusty97:
For learning sake please what is a Medical Consultant? Thank you

consultant is the title of a senior hospital-based physician or surgeon who has completed all of their specialist training and been placed on the specialist register in their chosen speciality. Their role is entirely distinct from that of general practitioners, or GPs.

The primary objective of a consultant is to use expert knowledge and skill to diagnose and treat patients while retaining ultimate clinical responsibility for their care.[1]

Thanks. A medical consultant seem to be already accomplished in life, joining the army only means they offer even better benefits. I hope it's worth it.

Saintinoo:

Living in Nigeria is suicide already. You are talking as if if you applied they will even shortlist you. Just try and apply for fun and see how far you go . Most of the DSS guys definitely know someone powerful in the Army or government, the rest especially medical consultants are just needed because of their skills and course of study.

lf you have the passion and the right qualification pls apply dont let them discourage you. if u check well those saying dont apply u will die bla bla bla. they have already apply
