I just read from a poster, his friend's experience during the Naval Basic Military Trainings. I could have taking the post serious if the poster was the one who experienced it. In other word, his post was hear say and besides, he has never undergone basic military trainings to corroborate what his friend told him.

To start with, military like every other Fed govt institutions, cannot be exonerated from connections and godfatherism in seeking for an employment or enlistment as you may call it. The connections and godfatherism has a stage where they comes to play and not the lies the OP cooked.

I was in the military before I retired. Anything connection and godfatherism starts and ends during the selections and screenings. Once you passed the selections, screenings, medical tests and made it to the training, there is nothing like connection or godfather again. The way you comported yourself in the training, discipline, commitment and how serious you take your trainings, will determine if you will make it and finally pass out.

People gets dismissed from the training ground for various offences. Godfather can only work in the training if a recruit committed an offence that warrants dismissal. His godfather may intervene. Not that, after 4months in trainings, recruits will be lined up, their names will be called, if you don't have a godfather that brought you, you will be giving 20k transport fare to go home, another person Wii be used to replace you. Just like that? It's a pure lies.

Did you know what it means for someone to spend 4months in training? He must have started handling weapons, he must have gone to the shooting range, crossed obstacles etc. All of a sudden, you give him 20k to go home. Have they not succeeded in breeding a potential armed robber, kidnapper and terrorist?

Don't believe the OP. Others are supporting him saying, their friends told them. Ask that your friend very well why he was dropped and sent home. Recruitment officers will not wait for you to make the list of selected candidates from your state, allow you to pass the recruitment processes and made it to the training ground only to sent you home and replaced you with a person that has a godfather. If they want to do that, they will shortlist the names of those that have godfathers, they will skip all the recruitment processes and make it to the training. They can even give the slots to states to make up the no of people required from each state. Nobody will waste his time recruiting, feeding and dropping you 4months in the training.

Oga E dey happen....forget that tin

Did it happen to you? If yes. Tell us how it happened and not hearsay.

Don't mind them

It's lies

Same way some expelled students will castigate a school they were expelled from

Did they expect someone sent home on disciplinary ground after 4months in training or sent home because he could not cope with the training, to tell them the truth why he was sent home?

Nothing is impossible in this country...

Is that a justification for you to believe everything you hear in this country to be true?
