Dangerous pleasure

Hellrufai....that little imp.
I reserve my comment. Lemme go back and read the post, then I'll comment my reserve.

If he is being denied access to medical facilities, then who is treating the right eye and extracting bullets from his body.

Is anybody here applying to the Faculty of Military Sciences here??

Below is the result of the descriptive statistics I did on the shortlisted candidates for the NDAEE - I.e the number of applications for each course/faculty.




Faculty of Engineering

Total applications is 4,353 which represent 19.94%. Breakdown is as follows:
Civil Engineering - 1,405(6.4%); Electrical Engineering 1,302(5.96%); Mechanical Engineering - 1,647(7.54%).




Faculty of Science

Total applicants is 7,289 representing 33.38%. Breakdown:
Biological sciences - 2,928(13.41%); Chemistry - 574(2.64%); Mathematics - 271(1.24%), Physics - 334(1.53%), Computer Science - 3,181(14.57%).




Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

Total Applicants is 9,709 representing 44.47%. Breakdown is shown below:
Economics - 1,965(9%); Accounting - 1,259(5.77%); French - 9(0.04%); Geography - 1,144(5.24%); History - 243(1.11%); Political Science & Defence Studies - 4,195(19.21%); Psychology - 893(4.09%).



Faculty of Military Sciences

Total applicants is 483 constituting 2.21% of the total applicants. Breakdown is as follows:

Intelligence & Cyber Security Studies - 263(1.2%); Peace and Conflict Studies - 133(0.61%); Leadership & War Studies - 86(0.39%).



Overall, it can be seen that Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences has the highest percentage of applicants (44.47%), followed by Sciences (33.38%), Engineering (19.94%) and the lowest is Military Sciences (2.21%).




Note that for previous years e.g. 67RC, the number of cadets matriculated was about 50% Engineering, 27% Sciences and 23% Arts and Social Sciences. Hence, more Engineering students are admitted than other faculties.


This is not to scare or discourage anyone, but to show you who you'd be competing with, in order to read hard for the NDAEE.




NB: Thou shalt not worry about the competition, because the competition does not worry about thee.

Retiring to Arm of Observation.

What happened to planning before hand. They should have anticipated this.

ValerianSteel:
You insult the Nimitz,it's like comparing Lego toy car to Tesla3 electric car

The Nimitz is in a class unrivalled by any other in the world.Frigates like the Nigerian Thunder do not have a chance at naval comparison with an aircraft carrier not to speak of a Nimitz class carrier.

Choi! I guess we still have a long way to go in terms of our military hardware and firepower.

Now it's time for cadets to resume, they are moaning on facebook...all of them are on low morale. They are all using slangs such as 'global warming' 'chikapa' and 'interior economy'.


Afraid don dey catch me sef.

As long as you good at what you do, discriminations such as these will not be enough to stop you from achieving your dreams.

One man's poison is another man's meat.

What a rugged coy!
God bless you Captain and your Comrades - where you are.

nanna170:
Plz hw is lyk when ur nda form is been submitted for a slot from ur state, tribe or whatever by the secretary to d Governor of d state and u meet all d requirements except jamb cut off mark is it still advisable to write der entrance exam plx i need reply thazk

There's a high probability of being evicted during credentials screening, unless your backup is strong.

Just take the exams, there's no harm in trying, and you have nothing to lose by taking the NDAEE.

Cheers!!

Xslaze3xd:

NN surely needs to get this carriers.

I don't think our ailing economy can afford those beasts in the nearest future.

By the way, what about NNS Aradu/Thunder.....is it anything like this?

Xslaze3xd:
This is surely going to be a nice thread.
Guys make una come see Naval Power.

Where is AdmiralG.....come and get onboard on this magnificent ship.

demo4ril97:
@ lawmosh Glory be to Allah for that!. All I want everyone to note is we all have our destiny but it depends on the way we walk towards it. Don't just relent all bcus u are nt familiar with the ruling class, make a stand!!! Do your best and put ur faith in God let him decide your fate. If all of us are admitted into the academy believe me not all of us will be appointment or generals which means every scene must end at a point I'm nt deprived concerning the JAMB incompetency let Allah make everything with ease mosha'Allah we will get there Amin.

NB: dont fake a faith, hardwork pays.

When a soldier speaks!
Insha Allah, it shall be done to you according to your faith.

Snapping of postcard here in warri goes for #1500

Wow....and I thought the #600 being charged here in Kaduna is expensive

demo4ril97:
lemme explain something to you guys, I am an aluminium fabricator I use measuring tape so 1meter=1000cm/mm therefore if it should be centimeter someone who is about 6feet tall should be using 1830centimeter which cant be possible to insert in the Application portal. So if you're 6feet tall it should be 1.83meter although mine still remained as 2 digit i.e 1.8 even after deleting the application several time thinking it was an error if i logout and log back in it becomes 2 digit.

Hope it clear Sir.

Yes sir

I thought this might be useful:

THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THOSE COMMISSIONED INTO THE NIGERIAN ARMY!


There are 5 types of commission in the Nigerian Army (NA) - Not Armed Forces. They are:

1. Regular Combatant (RC). Training takes 5 years.
2. Short Service Combatant (SSC). Training takes 6 - 9 months.
3. Direct Regular Combatant (DRC). Now attained on conversion from DSSC.
4. Direct Short Service Combatant (DSSC). Training takes 6 - 9 months.
5. Executive Commission (EC). Training takes 2 - 3 months.

Details of such commissions are to be found in the Harmonised Terms and Conditions of
Service (TACOS) for officers of the Nigerian Armed Forces but a summary goes thus:

RC and SSC are combatants, trained to fight battles. Others are not meant to be combatants.
Both SSC and DSSC are of relatively short durations (not more than 12 years I think,
excluding extension of service) and must convert to RC and DRC respectively to enjoy a
longer career. Theoretically, RCs and DRCs can rise to become generals ie Brigadier Generals,
Major Generals etc. (Remember the pyramid structure? The higher it gets, the smaller it
becomes. In other words, many are called but only a few are chosen). DRCs are mainly
professionals - surgeons, pharmacists, chaplains, surveyors etc. - and are usually not found
in the core combat arms of Infantry, Armour and Artillery but are be found in the Army Engineers
and Signals. ECs are made up of former soldiers and do not usually exceed the rank of Major.

There are varying criteria for the various commissions. In reality the advantage is more on
the side of those who were originally RCs than those who were originally SSCs in terms of age,
rank, numbers etc. However, anything can happen, for instance Lt. Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi (rtd.)
rose to become Chief of Army Staff (COAS) even though he wasn't originally an RC.

Although DRCs may never become COASs or General Officers Commanding (GOCs), they can apart from
being Staff Officers also hold command posts in corps or services in which they predominate.
These include Education, Medical and Finance among others.

Life in the Army here in Nigeria can be promising, particularly now that efforts have been made
to consolidate emoluments but achievement of success or wealth in the Army (here in Nigeria as well
as is in other countries) is a product of motivation and determination. If you want to live well,
you will. If you don't, you won't. The choice is really yours!


For RC or DRC, mininum years of service is about 15 years and life as a cadet can be quite strenuous.
Generally, training is in the Infantry Corps Centre and School (ICCS), Jaji, Kaduna State. As for the
DSSs and ECs, their training is usually less strenuous, not as in NDA where RCs and SSCs are trained.
Cadets are usually humourously welcomed with the euphemism, "Unfortunate Nigerians, you will nearly die
but you will not die!" But you should survive if you are physically fit afterall, many have gone before
you. As a cadet, you are entitled to allowances which may not really cater for your family if you have one but could go a long way to help you sustain yourself.

If you wish to obtain more information on the Nigerian Army and the types of application forms available,
you can check with the Army Public Relations Department in any military barracks near you. For RC, you
need at least 5 credits including English and Mathematics. For SSC, DRC and DSSC, you must be a
graduate. Lawyers in the army are usually found in the Army Legal Services and the Military Police.
They can also be found in lesser numbers in other corps and services. As for your private practice,
it all depends on what type but you won't be expected to have your private practice as a lawyer alongside your military career.

Lastly, it is also noteworthy to say that the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) now offers some post-graduate
courses for those in the military as well as for those not in the military.

Xslaze3xd:

Yes I know that Sir, but the twitter handler said it was a mistake, that it should be in metres.

Hmmm....I hope some of us won't be penalized for filling it in centimetres; we simply followed the instruction to the later.

Xslaze3xd:
Wait, Your height, Which format did you fill it, this 1.74 or this 174, the first one is the correct one.

Oga, it was stated in the application guidelines that the height should be written in centimetres, not in meters.

Lawmosh:
1) i uploaded 3 documents namely passport, birth certificate and o'level although their is nothing I can use to prove this to u but I am very sure of that. 2) i will not say anything but i will just snap my ack form and jamb slip for u to confirm.

Just relax and be positive bro....I know it will surely be rectified.

Happy Easter to all clowns in the house.

Xslaze3xd, demo4ril97, rawswag, zanga95, sinator, AdmiralG and everybody body on this ship. Permission to come aboard

I just printed out my Exam Card now. But I noticed that my faculty was changed to 'Faculty of Science' as against the original 'Faculty of Military Sciences' as it is in the Acknowledgment form.

Very smart answer to an unnecessarily dumb interview question.

Which Shekau? The one that keeps resurrecting after being killed?

This is just a publicity gymnastics.

Collinsemegreat:
thanks alot can i hav ur fb username? I really want to knw mre abt NDA;
>am slender in nature wat ar my chances to NIG. Army?
> i wil be 19 by april do i hav chances wit my Nig. Air force?

Just read this thread and the other one from page 1, when you're done; you will know everything you need to know.

Keep hope alive, the AFSB will place you in the appropriate service if you make it to the final list.

Dullards be like.......

Basalt:


you dont sound like one with such gp,
You just sound like a TOUT

It's obvious you're a third class student.
Ordinary Polytechnic, you cannot spell...and ur title is reading 'PROVE', rather than PROOF.

FYI, I have a CGPA of 3.85, convert it and you will get more than 4.8 on. 5 point scale. So if I can make distinction here, I can still make First Class there.

Lemme tell you something, in my school you will need 75% score to get A as opposed to 70% for Universities.

Xslaze3xd:

we are all loyal to The ARMED FORCES.

Yes Sir. By the way, we're still waiting for you note on sand modelling. Jah bless.
