PaperLace: Lols. My most scary moments had to be whenever I sight a traffic jam ahead. Holy Moses, I start thinking how I am gonna do the whole clutch-throttle movement. I pray not to bash someone or the car even going off ...
1. Clutch down, brake down. 2. Swtich foot to throttle and rev a little. 3. Hold throttle on same rev. 4. Release clutch slowly and hold when car begins to move. (Right foot still revvin throttle a little) 5. Car starts to move...change gear, et.c
olapluto: Top top video. This is the 1st real tactical vid seen of the front line. The army seems to have properly adjusted to the BHT tactics. I particularly like and admire how the commander was in full control of the camp, while also mingling well with the boys. Impressive.
Unfortunately, a soldier was killed by friendly fire..

Henry240: This is the most authentic Nigerian military video you'll ever see. Nothing scripted, it's an Amateur video from clearing operations deep inside Sambisa forest. Combat footage, broken down tanks, logistics supply, high espirite de corps, high morale, humour, and the best part, it is 43 minutes long. Watch, enjoy and share.
udobaba: I am a young manager in one of an old generation bank. I have this colleague who is a subordinate and a marketer. Recently, i discovered that he has supressed customers cash up to fifteen customers and these money is either loan payment, deposit or account openings. Many customers came to the branch to complain and i felt embarassed some on loan when they have not paid back their loan and u call them just to discovered that they paid and he supressed the cash. I gave him a querty wen i gathered all evidence and copied management and disciplinary committee was set for him and with lot of evidence, he was found guilty and his appointment terminated. He has suppressed more than a million naira of customers cash. Thats so far what we discovered. More than three months, yesterday he sent me a text messsge calling me evil and blaming me. He also threatened my life . What do i do?
Men of nowadays...no balls. A fellow guy threatened you and you are scampering for dear life ....Use SARS on him. One week in detention, he will mellow down.

Guru9ja: Students are scared when checking their results in order not to be a victim of carry over grade which apart from the burden they will bear for the next level, insult from their juniors is enough to ruin their reputation. It is however obvious to spot them in campus which is the aim of this article and let's take a look on ways to identify such students. Insult lecturers on regular basis Carry over students view both good and bad lecturers as enemies by abusing and bashing them from all angles. Most times they are the ones who sit at the back of auditorium during lecture period causing distraction and blaming lecturers for their misfortunes. Struggled and stressed looks This feature is obvious when you see carry over students. Owing to the fact that life is not fair to them on campus, they look worried and tattered due to too much thinking, long lectures period and less sleeping hours. Violence flow in their blood The life of a carry over student is so frustrating that anything can steer up anger in their life. Due to the precipitated bitterness in their blood, they become captain during "aluta protest" along side with their bedevilled colleagues. Unfriendly attitude Larger percentage of carry over students possess introvert attitude that makes it difficult for them to socialise. Suggesting any form of entertainment to cool their nerves is like mission impossible for them. Single relationship status It's difficult to see a carry over student in a relationship which is more synonymous to guys. If eventually he steps up his game to woo a lady, she will ridicule, condemn and bash the hell out of his life. Bond with efikos and giraffe at exam hall This is very common at exam hall as carry over students form covalent bond with intelligent students to save them from academic embarrassment. Also they frequently giraffe during exam using angle of depression mechanism. Hand outs are always littered in their rooms The room of carry over students can be likened to the dust bin at ojota in lagos. Because of the bulk of courses they offered per semester, various hand outs are always littered on their bed, wardrobe, floor, kitchen and even toilet if care is not taken. Disgusting outfits and terrible body odour Some carry over students always look un kept with bad body odour and funny outfits since they care less about their well being. Also, they hardly make their hairs, shave and sometimes skip brushing their mouth. More: http://www.guru9ja.com/2015/09/eight-8-ways-to-identify-carry-over.html
Its like a carryover student just stole ur babe..this your post is filled with hate. Just relax.
mamabomboy: All this wahala just because Mr Dull**D has changed his stance. Sorry Mr OBJ-mumu, you and your Afonja army should stop using Niger Delta as a pawn in your useless, selfish attacks against the government. If you want to pass a message to the Dull**D, be a man and tell him clearly.
Sometimes, with the way some people express themselves, you can't but wonder if they think with their anus.
odimbannamdi: My EXPERIENCE AT THE ARMY SSC COURSE 44 SCREENING IN NDA OLD SITE, KADUNA
I reported at Kaduna for the screening by exactly 3:30pm on the 5th of August. Only 17 people showed up for the screening from my state (Abia State): 15 on the first day, and another 2 a few days later.
A semi-apron-like blue tag containing a 2 lettered abbreviation of your state and number was issued to every candidate, to be won all through the screening period (mine was AB08). Officially, we were to be known and regarded by this tag number. You would hear stuffs like “AB08, how far na? GB14, old boy I dey o” At some point, we all forgot our names. Lol. Also, it is this number you would send to your sponsors for that purpose
An adhoc screening board made up of a Major General (the president of the board), 3 Colonels, 3 Lieutenant Colonels (the board secretary was one of them), 3 Captains (the board Admin Officer was one of them) and 3 Lieutenants.
The first screening stage was vetting of candidates’ credentials to ascertain their authenticity and whether we would still be below the required maximum age of 29 by October. A Lt. Col. (the C.O. of 1div Hospital at NDA new site) screened for my state and he was very thorough. I noticed that the Army even prefers you to be younger than the minimum required age.
The next screening stage was writing an aptitude test. Candidates were divided into 3 groups. 1st group wrote at the hall just adjacent the parade ground. 2nd group wrote at the Cadet mess while the 3rd group (which included my state) wrote at the staff school, (one Professor Yahaya or so hall)
The test comprised of 4 sections:
- An essay (WHY YOU WANT TO JOIN THE NIGERIAN ARMY) of 500 – 1000words - 10 English questions - Around 7 Maths questions (can’t remember exactly now) - Around 15 – 20 current affairs questions (cant remember exactly too)
The test was over in 2hours time. I gathered that the test was aimed at gauging our communicative ability. Some candidates were evicted based on the result of this test. No one was evicted from my state though
The next screening stage was the “almighty” medical and physical examination. As a result of the mammoth crowd and many tests we were supposed to undergo, we were shared into various groups. My state and some other states first went to the Medical Reception Station (MRS) for Xray. The next day, some of us went to 1div hospital, new NDA site, for blood tests, physical, dental and optical examination, checking of Blood pressure and BMI.
Considering the significance of this stage to a candidate’s final selection, I will try explain each test further
Physical examination: Here, we were stripped naked, asked to stand straight with our hands placed at varying positions (this is to check if we have a bad posture such as kyphosis [hunched back] or lordosis) and our feet making a V-shape (to check for flat feet). The number of our testes was checked. We were then asked to grab our buttocks, bend down with our anus very visible and cough (this is to check if we have had pile before)
Blood and urine tests: Over 5mls of our blood was drawn and our urine taken in a sterile bottle. We were tested for diseases such Hepatitis B, HIV, Syphilis etc. I think our blood group and genotype were also checked
Blood Pressure reading: Being in a cool environment (such as an air-conditioned room), prior to checking your blood pressure, helps calm you down, consequently normalizing it. One Corporal Mike hinted us that the optimal reading is 120/90 or 110/80, while anything more than 140/90 is regarded as being high.
Body Mass Index (BMI): [/b]Our height and weight were measured, after taking off our shoes. The readings were used to determine our BMI. The full diameter of our chest during deep inhaling was also measured
[b]Eye examination: We were asked to read letters from an eye chart placed about 10meters and 0.5meter away from us with one of our eyes closed at each time. Next, we were asked to decipher letters printed in colour patterns. Both tests were used to detect if we have long or short-sightedness and Astigmatism
Dental Examination: The alignment, number and grip of our teeth were also checked
The medical and physical examinations took almost 5days to conclude. Any state that finishes its medicals proceeded to do the psychology tests.
During the Psychology tests, 2 Lieutenants shared a booklet containing questions that tried to figure out our history of stimulants/drugs usage. The questions were structured in a way that when you lie in the first question, you would have to keep lying to the end. LOL.
Alcohol usage kind of raised a controversy among candidates because almost every young man has, at one point or the other, taken a sip of the contents of the green bottle. But I observed that as long as your alcohol usage wasnt a source of worry to your loved ones or you haven’t suffered a challenge arising from it (of course, the questions asked us that), then it wasn’t enough to disqualify you.
However, other classes of stimulants used via smoking, inhaling, sniffing or injecting, I observed too, disqualified some candidates. I think they tested their urine for the presence of such stimulants, cant say exactly. We were further interviewed based on our answers The results of the medical and psychology tests were announced together and candidates were consequently evicted.
I WAS EVICTED AT THIS STAGE TOO. I will talk about it soon
HOW RESULTS OF EACH SCREENING STAGE WAS ANNOUNCED
To a very great extent, the screening process was transparent.
Upon completion of each screening stage, the board members met and compiled the list of candidates who are “suspects of eviction”. All members of the board then arrive the parade ground to meet orderly but very anxious candidates.
Starting from Abia state, the board secretary calls out names of candidates who are made to immediately shout “Yes Sir!” with a leap and, along with their credentials, jogs to a part of the parade ground and sits on the ground.
Candidates who were flagged for eviction resulting from credentials screening were subjected to a review where their credentials were looked at again before final eviction.
The aptitude test stage did not need a review, of course. You don fail you don fail. No argument.
After the first set of medical and physical examinations, candidates were taken back to 1div hospital for review. Here, if you fell short of the accepted standard in any of the tests, apart from the blood and urine tests, you would be called in to be reviewed by the medical team.
Evictions resulting from the medical and psychological tests was, perhaps, the most touching and monumental. Lol. When the soldiers and officers were telling us that “medicals must drop over half of all of you. That one na dole”, we thought they were only envious of our would-be officer status.
The evening the results ought to have been announced, we waited for the board members till 10pm in the night. The secretary later came and told us that the results would be announced the next day. He instructed us to come to the parade ground with our bags the next morning.
The next morning, around 7am or later, all members of the board arrived the parade ground along with a public address system. There was a different kind of aura in the air. The atmosphere was so tensed.
Mounting the PAS, the board secretary started, “Candidates! Today, my problems will be reduced. Most of you will go back to your villages. The Nigerian Army does not compromise on health issues. If you hear your number, carry your kaya and run out. Is that clear!” Then he started MY EVICTION I was far from surprised when I heard my name. I saw it coming.
I was born with a flat feet, umbilical hernia (i.e. a painless prominent navel) and poor right eye vision. For as long as I can remember, distanced objects appear very blurry when viewed using only my right eye (with my left eye closed). I never thought it was something to worry about because I have perfect sight with my both eyes working.
All these were flagged during the medical tests and I was reviewed based on them again.
It was with a broken heart that I picked up my kaya and jogged to the drill shed to await further instructions.
Indeed, over half of the candidates were evicted based on medical and psychology grounds. In fact, Ogun state saw over 20 of its candidates sent packing, leaving behind just 4!
After calling out the names, the board members came to address us. A lucky few who were evicted for being overweight were called out and asked to go back and join up. Then the rest of us were individually called out and told the reasons for our eviction afterwhich our beloved tags were taken away from us.
As I left NDA gate, hot tears flowed down my cheeks. I was evicted for features my God created me with and not what I acquired. It was really painful.
But in everything, I give Him the glory because He knows the end from the beginning.
I will be dropping the fun part of life in NDA, the psyching from the officers and soldiers that made some candidates run away, the jobs we served and the pertinent lectures about the Army we got from Captain Abdullahi.
Stay tuned
GOD BLESS THE NIGERIAN ARMY! GOD BLESS CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF
madenigga: i understand why Buhari just shaked d secretary nd cudnt discuss anything, i wonder what one tyrant ediot with nepa bill as certificate wants to tell such a person.
Is "shaked" an english word? You can't even construct a proper sentence, yet you are asking Buhari for certificate.
ephi123: What a shame. People who make money at the expense of others like this Nigerian guy up here can never enjoy it with peace of mind, he can't use it for anything tangible no be curse.
Abeg sharap...na you girls go still do high jump enter Yahoo boys cars..how do you think they make their money? Abeg park.
This "Heaven" message is the reason why most Christians like mediocre lives....not contributing anything to the society, all in the name of the awaiting prize of eternity.
Wiztonero: If you are not up to 24, you may not even be shortlisted. 24 to 29 is the age range, and the younger you are, the greater your chances. I don't know for sure if class of degree matters. I have a 2:1 and am 24, this is why I was very optimistic when I got shortlisted. I guess I was the youngest candidate. But the greatest criterion for selection (which you won't see on their website) is having a very powerful sponsor. If not, your chances are very slim because the Army is all about godfatherism. That is the bitter truth.
Really?? Pls what rank can this "sponsors" be? Because the only Army officer I know just became a Major less than a year ago. And I don't even know him personally.
