DaYoungOfficer: Emma i begg u with God...plz accept his apology plz.....

I have sir.

Urch9: Wow,thank God... I just saw it!

Which of the papers please?

tenderlaw: Thank u sir. I'll try and contact someone to check. No papers in d bush where I am o.

Ok bro.

I have checked Punch, Guardian and Tribune, no publication. Please someone should check daily trust and daily independent. I mean hard copy, not their website.

xykms101: Grow up kid, remember you dragged me into mess that earned me 2weeks ban and some of my monikers are stil in jail whil you were insulting a poor lady with your blabbing attitude.

I think you are the kid that needs to grow up. @ALL ,when we don't know the root of a matter please it's better we ask questions. This will be my last post on NA thread. Please refer to nairaland Nigerian airforce thread and read what "xkms" wrote for the whole world to see.
When Nigerian Navy form came out newly many were scared to apply because of fear of a 3rd party intruding into their account through their ATM card. During the period of the recruitment exercise, I assisted as many as I could with my ATM card and some gave me token which I charged for my service. Some of them I assisted, I didn't even see them with my naked eyes, it was just on phone and I dealth with them with utmost sincerety because I revere God. When Nigerian airforce form was finally out, I went to the thread to encourage them and to tell them to trust more in God even if they have godfather. To my greatest disappointment "xkms" went to that same thread without proper regards and understanding of the use of English diction, went and indented my image and told them that I was taking advantage of the gullible ones. Why would a grown up man do such? Why would he stain my cloths with his filthy fingers? Judge for yourselves, and before you text always try and rethink. And don't include any for your own sins mr xkms. I would have utter some negative utterance but I had to hold and reverse it. I know what my tongue carries "written or spoken".
And besides, my post on NN thread did not include xkms or any. I AM ALSO AN APPLICANT OF NA.
Quote me" I actually left the NA thread because some fellows were indisciplined". I DIDN'T SAY "ALL" WERE INDISCIPLINED. I USED SOME BECAUSE I KNOW THAT NOT ALL ARE INDISCIPLINED.
And my quotes is the fact. Well, I have nothing much to say. I wish you all the best and pray that God will see all through. God bless you all.

nwekesimon68: Pls will the nigerian navy send massages to the shortlisted candidates in their phone or Email? Also if u were nt shortlisted can the person still go 4 the exam? PLS I NEED AN ANSA OH

From information gathered, I learnt that messages was send to those who scaled through after the aptitude test. So, I don't think they will send any message before the aptitude unless they have changed their process. Just check national dailies tomorrow or their website for list of shortlisted candidates.

dmajesticjoe: 1) A correct
2) C nah B
3) B nah C
4) A correct
5) C correct
6) B correct

With this, you are good to go.

almajiri101: NA applicants are not disciplined just bcoz they didnot allow him to rule over and dominate the NA thread. Anywayz no qualms coz NA intelligence unit had shut him up and showed him where he belongs


https://www.nairaland.com/1262605/nigerian-navy-dssc-2013-2014/35

Funny young man. I am not there to dominate like you said. Nairaland is meant for all and for the intelligent to share their views. NN thread is really glowing because it's filled with fun, and very informative. I love the gathering of men who share educative info and not where my strength will grow weak. I like a thread where I will learn new things. When this thread started newly it was really informative, but now you, almajiri, cyril have decided to transfer your mantle weakness to me that's why I left NA for you guys. Today I am very confident and proud with the level of information I have received from NN thread and besides I met new friends who are willing to move forward in life. Sorry to say, I believe your failure last year was as a result of your unseemly attitude. The better you amend your ways and go for information the better it will be for you. Even if your uncle push you to the level where you will seat with the Armed forces board you will still fail the interview except you change your ways. You can take NA thread for yourself, who cares. The wise man learn and increase in knowledge. Thanks and God bless you.

O'steve:
Good job ema. In reference to ur answer in #16...since the number one officer in the military is the president, dont u think is d highest military officer in the military? Thanks

Kevsman: wre in the world hav you seen a soldier Tuck-in his camo? Du you know how a soldier would look when he Tucks-in his camo? Chaii see wetin locality day cous...Lol

So you haven't seen a soldier tuck in a complete Army green camo? Then come let me take you to dodan barracks at Obalende so you could see one. Most of them misbehave when their superior is not around. Just like yesterday when I went to command secondary school to see an uncle, the junior officers at the gate had to quickly dress up when they saw their superior. All the same, lets forget that and focus on our aim .

penzino: Camille, U shouldn't be answering some things, not everybody is matured enough to handle sensitive issues, just ignore them and get on with being the good person u are. God will surely see us through....

Thanks bro. HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO PURCHASE NAF FORM.

almajiri101: just bcoz you were allowed to championed and enslaved the whole thread with google search, your i too know attitude and uneccessary info is what NA applicants stood against. You really need to grow up coz your apology is unacceptable.

Instead of searching for information you will be pinging a lady who will one day desert you immediately you fail to excel. Your phone or PC should be put into better usage.
