Good ool days indeed time heal, beautify and change all things

See how gentlemen cadets were humble with a seemly good bond of brotherhood. Guess the man-know-man mediocrity was not the basis of admission them?

Seems the background hill in the second picture is somewhere around the Plateau. J-Town people make una help confirm.

dem don turn everything to nepotism

My Dad and I went to this prestigious Military Academy

NDA!!! Training men of valour.

When did the motto of the Nigerian army change to Arabic and who made it the jihad slogan of Ottman Dan Fodio?
The Fulani-jihadists have really held us by the throat in this country. No wonder they have always believed Nigeria belongs to them.

now all you see there are rich men children who are kids and have no passion to be a true officer

You mean pictures of boys scout who knows how to chase protesters 🤷🏿.

I waa arguing with someone today about the recent coup in Nigeria. He was wishing the coup had succeeded as he believes the army would be better than the Civilian in Nigeria. I had to let him know the army is no longer what it used to be before. And the North would override the other parts of the country. Also, the army have tasted money and corruption. Hence they may not fare better as Nigerian corruption has touched every facet of her establishments

Irony of life is, majority of these guys aren't alive anymore.

But they are still struggling with boko Haram For years....

When Nigerians were still innocent and know nothing about the world back in the days when we thought the white man was our friend

Back when corruption was gradually creeping into the fabrics of our leaders

Wow!
Images have really improved compared to those days

That was the era of coups, they were not so humble.

Nothing really impressive at all to see here...

Back in the days when Nzeogwu Chukwuma a trainer at NDA used his students to stage a coup. He was buried there.

What you are doing is still wishful thinking. The level of stealing going on in civilian administrations will make military rule stealing look like child's play.

Regular course 55

Remember when I was a cadet

When our military was respected and professional.
