dominzy: Things You Didn’t Know About Those Commissioned Into the Nigerian Army
This article on the different commissioned officers in the Nigerian Army, will help clear the confusion lingering in the minds of civilians that want to take up a career in 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 Harmonized 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 duration (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 i.e 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.
DRC’s 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 to be found in the Army Engineers and Signals. EC’s 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 RC,s than those who were originally SSC,s in terms of age, rank in the Nigerian army, 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, minimum 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 humorously welcomed with the euphemism, “Unfortunate Nigerians, you will nearly die but you will not die!” But you should survive if you are physically fit after all, 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.
henryobinna: mikkyangel learn to go with app like CPU Z apk on your memory card(for phones with sd slot) or have it installed on your phone so you can send and install on the new phone.
the reason for this is that you install the app on the phone you intend to buy, use it and check the phones' info especially the cpu, all Samsung high end phones are Snapdragon or their own Exynos.
that's what I use when buying used phones
I think this is the only solution just checked the internet and found out that some chinese company are making iphones and other phones with the same specs Imagine samsung S8+ running android 7 with 6GB ram and 64GB ROM at 150$ with the same specs as the original but if you install CPU Z in them it'll show you the phone have like 1GB ram and other crappy details you cannot trust this people
mikkyangel: Opps....i guess i was not totally correct.. -Some one tried to sell a fake s7 edge, but i was lucky i picked up an original one(Ade.Ola ....Nortrigde) about 1.5hrs earlier, so i brought the original out to compare with the fake ,while d seller stood there like mumu. I guess these guys producing fake samsungs are going pro these days -Clone( fake), samsung now has Logo -When you switch on and off(or restart), it shows samsung logo...
-But i knew something was fishy, when the seller deleted the Ad b4 i got to him. -And he kept on saying imei number repeatedly...i guess he was nervous.. -Besides, the cloned phone was damn too heavy and the inprints when u switch on were not sharp
...ABDUL...30K Alert received, -the s7 edge transaction did not go tru...atlist i don save u roughly 90k
this is what I'm telling you my friend bought fake s7 edge for like 200k and had to sell it around 50k to one old lady in kano they're getting smarter and the problem is that they're all android phones which is hard to tell apart for the S8 version is easier since it's charging point is Type C usb and the clone or replica is using the old one like in s7 and the rest for the rest of the Samsung switch off and turn them in that safe mood if they're real they'll go if they're fakes you'll notice for the iphones just check their software version in the settings you'll see if they're real or they're running android 6. something and also their appstore leads to playstore I hope this'll help I'll buy something from you soo
Dc4life: There's nothing to be scared about. Just request for the imei number and look it up on imeipro.info and you're good to go
only mikky can check it for you when he reach the person because they can give you a fake one and also those cloned iphones are exactly same as the real ones it's only when you go to settings and check you will see they're running android and iTunes my friend have been in that case even the Samsung phones you're not safe he bought it online for like 200k he had to sell it at around 50 so you really need to pay attention to those details
mikkyangel: *Yaro.. -iphone6s plus...picked up in Los Angeles(very clean)....90k -iphone 7plus.....picked up in Compton.......123k -Both phones confirmed unlocked(checked with my sim) -Icloud checked
I'm soo scared of buying those cheap one's because of those cloned iphones running android
