Josh Maja featured for Bordeaux in jersey #9 as his side fell to a 4-2 preseason friendly defeat against St. Etienne.

Josh Maja was involved in Bordeaux's first goal as he sent a beautiful ball into the path of Nicolas de preville who was then fouled for a penalty. De Preville went on to convert.
Classic Nairaland Hype

I'm not sure but when course 44 passed out in 2017 according to the HTACOS then it was supposed to be 18months from 2nd Lt to Lt, 3yrs from Lt to Captain, making it almost 5yrs. Don't know what is obtainable now @eclipsehemmy can be of help.
Sir eclipsehemmy , any contributions would be highly appreciated

Me thinks 5 yrs is too long a time for 1st Lt to Capt

ideally bro it’s supposed to be 5 years on the lieutenant to captain rank..all Rcs were just promoted after 4/5 years that’s 62rc... the new hermonised terms and conditions made it 5 years on all ranks for all commissions in the military...but it came to my understanding of recent, doe I don’t know how true it is that there are some Dssc guys who are currently on their 7th year for captain promotion... we had an argument a while ago about this and the guy messaged me with his proof... I’m still not sure about it but ideally, all commissions will carry a 5 year promotion period
Okay Sir

Thanks for this

Sir Ugo4u, still awaiting your input

quick question for Sir Ugo4u, sikowitz and the likes...

Please what's the average number of years it takes for 2 star lieutenant to become a captain

Just wondering because it's like there is a delay for many and I can't fathom why

Please can you guys throw more light on this please?

Those units you listed are the exclusive preserve of RC/SSC officers with the exception of Ordinance where you can also find DSSC.
To your question all those units are the frontline guys, the Infantry is the queen of the battle field they are mostly the boots on ground, they also operate some motorised(Mechanised Infantry) platforms like MRAPs, APC, IFVs etc HQ is in Jaji, Kaduna. Armour guys HQ is in Bauchi they're are usually the guys leading the charge with their tanks such as the T-72s, Panhards M3 VPMs, VT4 tanks and other motorized platforms etc. The infantry follow them behind. Armour divisions are usually located in border towns, I think it was during IBB's tenure they were "banished" to faraway communities (border town) in his bid to protect his regime from coups.
Artillery guys are also frontline guys but they give artillery cover with big guns such as PLZ-52 155mm SP howitzers, quad-barreled Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun system, gun mortars etc to both the armor and Infantry guys, they "soften" ground for both corps. Usually at the rear of both Infantry and armour units, when water pass Garri, the infantry guys will give the artillery guys co-ordinates to launch their big guns.
They also can be embedded even in trenches with other units from where they can launch their projectiles in a situation where there is a trench to trench engagements. Their HQ is in Kachia, Kaduna.
Now selection is done by the type of course you studied, though you'll be given a form to make your choice but the ultimate decision lies with the army. People that studied Geography, Geology, physics, mathematics similar courses most likely will find themselves in artillery.
Majority of officers will be in infantry especially those that studied anyhow course in the university like agriculture, fishery, fashion design, baking, etc
I may be wrong though, but this is usually the trend.

Modified:
Irrespective of the corps you're in you can still lead operations as long as you're a Combatant officer.

You can all see that SSC/RC is were the real deal lies, as for DSSC it is a boring commission. na to dey starch Khaki upandan grin
lollll

No be your target be this?

They need to stop that comparison and leave innocent Tammy alone

Tammy has done well for him self ,and now it’s all about transfer fee achievement
Sure thing...Tammy has really done well

Nobody should still be arguing that

Its not easy to score 15 goals a season for chelsea in the EPL

I will wait until werner does the same before concluding

As for comparison to Osimhen, lets wait and see...I hope Osimhen lives to the billing in Naples

If he isn't a complete upgrade to Collins, I don't see why we should bother too much about him..

We have had enough below average players in that LB role since Taiye Taiwo left...
He is the same thing as Jamilu...he is not an upgrade

People forget that he is playing in portugal and not germany and thus, hi sstats seem a little better

But that guy may just be a fraud waiting to be exposed

What are you guys even saying? 50M? 60M+? 45??

Hahahahahaha... Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed the fee!!! A little over 80M€ in transfer money and the whole operation costing over 100M€ when you add Osimhen's salary for the five years deal.

ADL just confirmed this to Skysports Italia not so long ago.


I will drop his words soonest.


But know this... Osimhen is officially Africa's most expensive signing of all time!!!

Why are people still arguing this fact?

Its a no brainer, as a human being irrespective of the social class the society try to force on us it's left for us especially those in leadership positions to treat their fellow, human with dignity and respect and this is where maturity comes to play. The military operates something similar to a caste system, that's why in most military formations you have different toilets for officers and men, different mess etc this is a global phenomenon though this is to enforce discipline, boundaries & effective discharge of one's duty. The soldiers(NCOs) are the backbone of any military in the world while the officers are the brain of the military.
Those that undergo officer training (RC/SSC/DSSC) have this pride imbibed in them right from training, so its not surprising to see some of them exhibit some of these traits especially those that spent 5yrs in the Academy. It takes the grace of God and a humble person to calm down, even me/ you wey talk if enter after months of psyching mentality go change.
Overall, common sense, maturity matters alot because las las inside bush you go forget say you be officer when the music starts, everybody have to play his or her part efficiently to stay alive, and most of those ncos especially the old ones have experience more than you, if you too do oversabi they can allow you to Bleep up, and you might not live to tell the story or even if you survive you will have to answer serious questions from the authorities when things spoils. There are many instances where field officers constantly ask senior (ncos) under them questions for clarification, e get why
Because it is the wisest thing to do

In fact, every new lieutenant posted to the NE should pally up with the most experienced NCO under his command in order to learn the "practical" of survival and commanding troops in battle

To be honest, NDA may just teach you text book...Even the various outdoor camps can never prepare anyone for the real thing

Nwakaeme deserves a place in the team

If a certain John Ogu could keep on making the team, what about Nwakaeme.
