PLease anybody travelling to camp from Abuja, mention me so we can plan our movement together.

How we go take move...

Has anyone noticed that the BH Sect always plans a huge attack anytime there's a political move or change in Nigeria's defence ministry.

I at least expected our boys to be alert when Shekau came out boldly to dare the new service chiefs. I hope the attack at DIkwa was repelled

ariesbull:
Do you know that I am igbo.... The truth is that Kanu is more popular than any politician and he is accepted... He doesn't want to contest an election.. he has the people he wants biafra and that is what it is... Unfortunately for Nigeria they are now armed...


Can Nigeria fight war in two fronts .. North East and South East

Not palatable but yes

Now will be the best time to crush the ESN. I want to believe that they are still in the early stages of their arms development. I prefer peaceful dialogue and a democratic process for the IPOB to air their views than via force of arms

komekn:
Once you have militant inclined groups l ed not by democratic process but coercion, intimidation and disinformation.

You have a very big problem.

They are creating an atmosphere where any criticism against IPOB is met with violence and intimidation.

So Igbo people do not often express their opposing true view in public about Nnamdi and IPOB because of harassment and intimidation.

If Nnamdi was so popular why did he not contest election and win❓ ❓ ❓ That means every state and Federal legislator, Governor from the East will clamour for an Igbo independent state. It will be actualized without much contention.

However, will a landlocked nation that has thrived by integration, association, partnership and participative engagement in multi faceted types of business activities. To incredible success across Africa in particular and the world in general.

Now thrive in ISOLATIONISM in a landlocked country. Look at what BREXIT is doing to the UK it's already on the brink of economic depression.

That's why no sensible and intelligent Igbo man will support the rantings of the megalomaniac Nnamdi and allow himself to be denigrated and plummeted into submission to his idea of democracy.

For once, I agree with you. Especially on the purported "popularity" of Nnamdi Kanu

Ok.....guys..... This is my contribution to the thread on the manifestation of events durin SSC course 47 screenin

Got to Falgore at exactly 11:32 AM, that place is one heck of a forest (no network)....(for d dssc guys, mk photocopies of ur docs -photoforms -school cert<pri, sec, tertiary>, origin, birth cert, bvn. One copy is enough). Documentation n issue of chest no. commenced right away. (You'll be stayin in tents so, kit up to fight cold... Any color of shoe n blue(jersey short) is allowed but, u must wear the stated requirement to face d board). After documentation, verification was carried out,( this will also contribute in elimination), then medicals (blood pressure, physical test <pile, flatfoot, dental, hernia etc>. Those with severe BP level were singled out, then, the almighty race commenced. We started with 10 km, then the next day, 20km b4 major gen j-boy suggested 30km (that evening, 5km was introduced). Sm days later, eviction kicked in...those With severe BP and over-aged candidates were sent home(this was saturday morning). Another set of 20km n 5km was carried out...also, somwhr along d line, the second wave of medicals commenced (blood test, ECG, urinalysis, xray)..….On the fateful morning of thursday 28th Jan, the result for that medicals was announced, this sent a lot of guys packing. Later that day, the aptitude test was written (in 3 paragragh, introduce ur family bckgrnd, ur course of study and how ur course can assist the military) (who won d last US election, name of operation carried against insurgency in northeast, official name of the training ground, name of army chief as at the time of exercise commencenent, meaning of AU etc). After that, a psycho exams was written, which we still later went for an oral psyco Exam (jst formalities). Then on friday, being today, we faced d board (i was asked to introduce self by d board chair, then offbook questions by board members, then, how my course can assist the army by the board chair), after that, i was at liberty to pack my kaya, then bade falgore goodbye

Thanks bro.

eitsei:
but if SSC go run 100km, how many Km DSSC go run?

:[

Someone said he heard from a reliable source that DSSC would run 80km

LTGEN:
I would like to see anyone with his " Traditional Bullet proof vest" stand in front of a 50cal burst of a 12.7 mm DSHK.
Some Nigerians will hype other Nigerians till they are dead. War is not a Hollywood story , it is very obvious the people at Sahara reports or whatever they call themselves think it is.
Nnamdi Kalu is not relevant in the scheme of things that is as far as I will mention , You know who will keep on hyping him up .

I agree with you whole-heartedly on this bro. We have got far bigger fish to fry

sikowitz17:

BabaOwen:
Boko haram is fighting the Nigerian government.

I meant to say that you can't defeat the govt via war or conflict of arms

BabaOwen:
No politician alive in the south east have more loyal followers than Nnamdi Kanu. The FG won't make such a disastrous move.

I understand your point. The only thing we agree on is that he shouldn't be assassinated. But if he is killed, I repeat, nothing will happen.

You can't fight the government.

Kezmanp:
please add me to the whatsapp group 08175898646

There's no WhatsApp group. Haba



Abeg, make una no start that thing here na. He said contact him. Not request to be added to WhatsApp grouo

Over 10,000 arms being smuggled by just one man from Niger republic yet border security isn't yet an issue of national discussion, we are not even ready yet.

The news was disheartening

Wetin immigration boss still dey do for him seat set?

BabaOwen:
You want me to fight for IPOB? What connection do I have with IPOB? Stop been stupid boy.

Instead of make you dey pray make your region no turn to Borno, you dey ask an ikorodu man stupid question about why he is not fighting for IPOB in igboland

It means you don't even know where you stand.

You're just anti-NA and you have no other ideology.

Whyem15:
Well, the new CAS is coming in at a time when Airforce is more powerful than ever before, with several capabilities being inducted and more to come in some month's time. If he doesn't perform better than S.B Abubakar, he will be a greater failure than any we've ever known.

I'm actually very optimistic he will perform, he flew alpha jets against bokoharam. And has been heading the Air component of the counter insurgency operations. The only problem is that there is a lot of pressure on these guys already. The expectation is too much at a time when there is crisis in almost all parts of the country. This here is Buratai's nemesis, he was unfortunate to be the COAS at a time the military was battling insurgents and criminals on several fronts. He added the responsibility of the IGP to his and to be frank, I believe he did better than many of his predecessors would have done if they were to be in his shoes. And

Bless you for your statement on Buratai.

The Rot in the NPF is the reason for the NA been stretched too thin. In fact, their knack for extrajudicial killings is the major reason we are dealing with BH terrorists today.

I dare say that the present NPF IG is no better than his predecessor's

kabe1:
I beg to differ.

He had been punished enough na. Haba!

Don't you have the spirit of forgiveness. This man has even been demoted to Brig Gen. He even pleaded that he didn't authorize the release of any video and his aide was said to have confessed to releasing the video (in error) without his boss knowing.

Is it until he is killed?

Haba

kabe1:
Sadiq Abubakar is the best CAS we've had since the creation of Nigeria. The man totally reformed our Air Force, made it professional and modern.

In terms of PR, the Air Force cleaned up the image of the military in many ways than once. I wish they can keep him on as a consultant.

Burutai also tried his best to build a well armed army, he drove indigenous industrialization, and worked towards building a self sufficient army.

However in terms of training, troop rotation and generally professionalism of the force, he failed.

The incoming COAS should build on his legacy, also work hard on structuring a professional army, well equipped with proper training and with a sound PR structure.

The Navy Chief CNS IBAS also tried to build a well equipped navy. The Navy has continued a legacy of professionalism right from the GEJ era, but in PR they were lacking and only picked up late.

There were a number of high profile successes under him, including indigenization, fleet recapitalization, rescue of ships at sea, piracy went down but the recent kidnapping of 15 Turkish sailors off the coast of Nigeria and the high rate of insecurity in the Bonny waterways puts a dent on his achievements.


The CDS did not do well, up until recently, the army and air force had different separate wars each Chief of service was fighting. While the army was going right, the air force would be going left.

Poor coordination from the office of the CDS.

Sadiq Abubakar was one of a kind. Its hard to find a dent in his time as CAS.

Buratai failed in the area of training and making the NA a professional fighting force. I heard that TRADOC is usually a dumping ground for Maj Gen about to retire. I hope this isn't true but if it is, then it may explain my our soldiers are said to be poorly trained.

Just look at the kit of NAF SF and NA SF and you'd see a difference. As for Ibot Ekwe, I have no comment

BabaOwen:
Says Babaowen.

You will not be the first or the last to say this. If he is killed, nothing will happen. Not supporting his assassination though. There are other means to render that troublemaker powerless.

youghs:
The video is an old video

Thanks for pointing this out.

When I see any news from Sahara reporters, I take it with a pinch of salt

Equity15:
27*

Yea, my mistake. Thanks

Badassm:
Wow, I was skeptical about it.
I would have applied earlier. I turned 23 this year, hope my age won't be a barrier also?

Age range is 20 - 30 yrs of age for DSSC

22-28 yrs of age for SSC

Historicalee:
Locating your bucket may be difficult if you misplace it.

True

Historicalee:
You can easily buy buckets in the camp, the only issue is the only colour sold is black.

So if you want to bring your own personal bucket, bring any colour aside black.

Anything wrong with black colour?

It is irritating, the tribalism debates going on here.

Someone was jut appointed defence Chief and what we ought to have been concerned about is his competence, yet some are arguing his state of origin and wether he is Igbo or not, Southern or Fulani...

Haba, shouldn't our major concern be his past performances is his various capacities in the times past?

It is a thing of concern now that every topic on Nairaland is quickly turned into a debate on whose tribe is better or worse, or whose tribe is more favored or not. Nobody cares about competence anymore

Nigerians, wake up!!!

I have a question. It may seem funny but I think it is legit.

Do we need to bring buckets (as part of toiletries) to the creening venue?

Anyone....

MeetSamir:
Yes, please do!

Your hair (either all of it or extreme low cut), your beards should be completely shaved.

You need to shave off your armpit hair and pubic hair as well, because during medicals, you will be required to be completely naked for body assessment.

I hope this helps, as for your credentials photocopies, (3 copies each is enough including your Army application printout forms)

Looking forward to meeting you all at Falgore InShaa Allah.

Thanks a lot for this valuable info bro.

May you be successful as well Sir

God bless

C in C believes those skinny guys are not corrupt.. Looks can be deceiving sometimes.

Tbh, Maj Grn Irabor's performances as theatre commander, operation Lafiya Dole was sterling to say the least.

Nature129:
Did he sack Sadique Abubakar?

That man did an intimating job as the Chief of Air Staff.

He's always in the news for building and renovating staff offices and quarters.

I don't think any of the service chiefs were sacked.

They just completed their tenure and I think they would be ceremoniously retired.

AIT Marshal sadiq Abubakar did a good job by the way

Josephyeseni:
. Are they to attach their passport after signing ?

No need for that bro
