The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) is a prestigious institution that has produced some of the finest military officers in Nigeria and beyond. Situated in Kaduna, a bustling city in the northern part of the country, the NDA has a rich history that spans several decades.

From its humble beginnings as a training facility for the Nigerian Army in the 1960s, the NDA has evolved into a world-class institution that provides cutting-edge military training to cadets from various parts of Nigeria and other countries.

The NDA is one of Nigeria’s most prestigious tertiary institutions and, by extension, Africa. The academy trains the three branches of the military: Army, Airforce, and Navy. Cadets undergo five years of military training for the Army and a four-year training for the Navy and Air Force. Even before graduating as officers, cadets are highly respected in society.

All newly accepted cadets typically have a difficult first year because they must adjust to the demanding physical, emotional, and psychological training and exercise to lose their “Civilian Mentality.” Typically, this is for the first three months after resuming at the academy. Some academy cadets nickname this “Decivilization”. The newly admitted Terma 1 cadets are loosely called “clowns.”

Since the newly admitted cadets immediately surrender their peace when they enter the Academy, they must attempt to endure everything that is thrown at them during their numerous arduous and demanding training. They follow the instructions of their superiors, no matter how seemingly hard the task may seem.

To complete your morning duties as a Terma 1 Cadet, which include cleaning the entire hostel, ironing and polishing your room seniors’ boots, and preparing for a Muster Parade, which is typically at 4 am before the Morning Jog, you must be awake at 3 am or earlier every morning.

Breakfast is served at six in the morning, and there is always enough food for everyone to eat and feel content. However, before you get too enthusiastic, remember that after completing the Academy’s demanding training sessions, you will sweat out all of that food.

The second terma is one of the evilest terma at the Academy because they want to exact retribution for everything that was done to them in their first year, and the “Clowns” are the best and only people they can vent their rage on. When you arrive at the Academy, they will be your greatest adversary. Sometimes, you may feel like giving up or dying, but that is exactly what the training should prepare you for. However, some Cadets flee, which is why the phrase “Survival of the Fittest” was coined.
