Omoh yesterday I prepared a delicious egusi soup, garnished with chicken breast, pomo, goat meat, titus fish, dry fish and okporoko (stock fish)--in addition to other essential ingredients like spicy (knorr and star), pumpkin leaf, etc etc.

Had a go at it yesterday evening and it was really good
Then I warmed it like around 11:00pm.

This morning, I warmed it like around 8:00 am; I would have frozen it in my freezer but I was expecting a fellow friend who'd told me he would be coming around so I didn't see the need for freezing it yet.

Now, this evening, I just remembered it when it was already 9:50pm--that's the thing sometimes with remote work; one could get engrossed in it sometimes especially if it's my kind that has to do with coding/programming and code analysis.
I just totally forgot

By the time I got to the soup, I saw it was almost starting to "foam", and I quickly put it on fire. After warming, it doesn't have the fresh taste it had anymore. Tastes a LITTLE bit sour and lacking flavour

Has anyone experienced this? What did you do to the soup (or what can be done)? Food experts.

Dont let anyone decieve you, the military is not a church or mosque and is highly regimental. You wont have any time to observe 5time prayers or go to church on saturday (Adventist). If you are caught in any manner depicting ''catholic than the pope'', you might never go to pray again.
The only time for observation of prayers for muslim is on Friday and Sunday for christian and with strict timings.
Dont worry, naturally when you report for training, you mighy see yourself covering up as a Christian just to go to church and Christians covering up as Muslim just to go to mosque i wont tell you why for this, when u get there you will find out better. The academy is a beautiful place my dear, dont get panicked. Make list first and pray to your God very early before everyone wakes, thats the only time you might get. Selah!

Stringz1:
The military doesn’t joke with prayers. There will be time for that. However nobody will lead you. Any small admin you have, say your prayers cos you will need it. May God help us

profmsboi:
You're a Muslim?

Stringz1:
Very good question. You will be taught water discipline and “Gwaiwa/gbewa” discipline. 😂
You won’t eat enough to even pee or use th toilet. You will be told to do certain things very early in the morning around 0300hrs. Manage and ease yourself at that point. Your free time is the time between waking up and mustering for head count every morning. You can say your prayers by then too

Which browser did you use to make the application?
Cos I’ve been trying for days now and I haven’t been able to upload my degree

Stringz1:
Alright, so I won’t be able to give full details but I’d give a simplified version of what training looks like.
After we successfully completed screening, we were asked to resume 2 weeks later or thereabout. I had to quickly source for money to buy the basic things like salala and white vests and Garri plus sugar (very important).
My first day, I got to kaduna with an 8am flight. I got to the academy around 9am but I couldn’t go to the sport complex because I developed cold feet. The shouting and “maltreatment” of prep wingers to candidates made me very scared. I almost went back home but home was too far away. I didn’t think I could survive so I hung around with a friend at the Mami market. He encouraged me to leave when it was 6pm and I was still scared to go. After plenty encouragement, I asked myself what will my father say of me? What about the people I told that I was going to join the Army? I gained courage and joined up. That was the beginning of the longest day of my life. I had to carry my heavy bags on my head (rookie mistake) don’t ever carry heavy bags. Find a way to make your burden light. Carry only what you can hunch with cos if you carry overload, you will nearly di.e.
After all the shouting and running to get documented into platoons and company, I made a terrible mistake. The NCO asked what’s inside this carton, I said “should I open it for you to see”🤡🤡…like a proper clown, he called one of the meanest prep wingers to “carry this clown”… I forward rolled the entire length and breadth of the football field twice with kicking and shouting from the PW. That white got condemned immediately. I moved to another prep winger, she was pissed that I was a giant (it is an offence to be extremely tall or built on the bigger side)…she gave me 500 hunches, my legs almost gave up. Worthy of note, buy canvas with “chin gum sole and at least one size bigger than you”. You will be squatting on your toes a lot and this can cause your legs to get bigger and wider. After doing the hunches to get satisfaction, we were driven to the candidates village where the sorrow started properly.
We were all required to carry our bags on our heads and hunch for about 300meters or thereabout. Now I had two bags one on my head and another on my back. Gentlemen, I cried cos my legs were properly heavy and someone was hitting me with scorpion stick. (Just manage and maneauver but don’t get caught)…I had to say that I hadn’t broken my fast (Ramadan period) so I was allowed to drink water but I finished up the extreme sport that night. We were allocated bed spaces with names and buckets and beddings. I finally saw my bed…lmao… they wheeled us out again to suffer for coming late cos we think they’d have lost strength…I did 3man carrying while going up and down on a leg that was already on fire. Gentlemen, that night was hell.

We were allowed to go to bed around 0100hrs only to be woken up by 0300hrs for Jikapa. (This soon became our daily routine). Every day till the last day of prep wing.

We started going for drill lessons, weapons handling, general service knowledge etc. you’d think the mental classes will cause ease in the physical drilling, na lie, instead it got more intense. There were nights we completed 700 push ups and 1000 sit ups just because 🤧

Then came “Night of power” these involved people who were culprits all through the day time for one offence or the other and people who failed to complete their push ups and sit ups during night putee. I used to be a regular customer in “higher echelon” cos I was not physically strong enough at the start (I got properly strong after sha) …this particular night, I had been cut from my squad as usual for coming up late during push ups. I got to Join up with other culprits this particular night and we had the most malicious instructors present, water and pebbles inside iron buckets only meant one thing… “the Angel of death is here”
Next thing “press up everywhere and X your hands”. I started reading Hail Mary cos once you hear the voice of your saviors being the one serving the job, you know it’s going to be a long night. Long story short, after suffering that night somebody dashed and one person fainted (this was what saved the rest of us)…we were released around 0200hrs since 2300hrs of the previous day 😩😭 (this was the day I knew that it’s not Army work that will kill me). Scorpion stick broke on my head this night 😂…it’s funny now, it wasn’t funny at the time.

You will suffer properly as everything is designed to test you and push you to the limit.

You’d pretty much do this for the during of orep wing, but you’d learn the rudiments of being a military person, posture, poise, confidence, test of annoyance etc
You’d learn everything you need to know fast during this phase.

Ofcourse I can’t tell you everything here. These are just general stuff.

After prep wing, those who passed drill square test will be allowed to start wearing their uniforms and that’s when you start feeling like a part of th academy community a bit.

You start going for exercises and practicalizing the theories you’ve learnt.

One thing you can’t take out of whole exercise is thag it mentally prepares you for the worst state of anarchy and disorganization…it helps you to be able to focus in spite of chaos around you. Quick decision making and not just making decisions but making t right decisions and putting the best with whatever situation you find yourself. Making the best out of you no matter t he circumstances

Bottom line is who no go no go understand

profmsboi:
Alright. Good luck.

profmsboi:
Hey, what corps did you later applied for during registration?

Dammysmart:
general knowledge and questions in line with your course

Hello, I want to know whether Nigerian Army recruitment is on?
Thanks

Juliearth:
Consider this a sequel to the thread earlier created.

Thus if you had 1000 naira to create a perfect man, how would you go about it. Bear in mind:

Six packs/perfectly toned body = N500
Faithfulness= N300
Intelligence = N700
Looks = N200
Spirituality= N300
Loyalty= N200
Financial worth=N400
Hygiene= N200
Romantic = N200
Funny= N300

Ladies, let's ruffle up these numbers.

God knows if a man bash my car like this I won’t let go until he fix every single thing. Especially if the man is a poor man

I will drag the poor man to court and I will make sure he pays with his last blood or else he will serve jail term .

I will make sure he’s left with absolutely nothing after fixing my car


They know how to destroy but they can’t build. Nonsense poor men!!!

Stringz1:
Please Quote this tweet later in the week so I can share my experience by weekend. Thank you. By then I’d have accumulated my experience and I’d share for those who might gain experience.
Just bear in mind, whatever I describe, just multiply the drill by 10
