Stupid question, u want to join the army and you don't have connections? And you say you are OK?

Impossible even getting street sweeping job from government this days is by politics

anyebedgreat:
You can be lucky as a recruit but as an officer, you must be connected.
A relative of mine applied for army short service. He crossed all the stages but the last stage. For the last stage the question was "who sent you" or "who do you have" and the applicant calls a name( senate president, genaral bla bla, minister of kaza kaza, etc) and hands over a letter.
When it got to the guy's turn, his response was " I have the almighty God and you my intelligent officers" the were impressed and complemented him for being very intelligent but told him this is where the road ends for him and he should try again next time.


Since then, anything military or paramilitary, I no wan hear.

this is a lie. no one will ask u directly that who sent you

Simple, just tell them that u know where Nnamdi is hiding.

The answer to your question is that if you want to be admitted easily ,the steps are.
1...be a northern precisly a fulani man
2.be a muslim and apply you will surly get there

To him whom Brain is given, sense is required...

It is impossible bro.

IamGeorgie:

PATIENTLY WAITIN FOR THE DAY NAIRALAND WILL BE FREE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU

u need to be realistic dude. that is exactly what happens in the military.

you need no connection baba.. my sister got in with zero connection.

i could give you a long list of people i know and what happened to them in the military.i still have friends there. so he is saying the truth. u need someone to push you thru.

what is wrong with Nigerians sef ... which one is God God God. Go do your research on how to get what you want n stop waiting for God to do magic for you.

First the Nigerian army are taking the same numbers from each state to ensure equity and federal character,this has been practice for long.So ignore religious and tribal bigots. I am sure if you trust yourself and you are capable you will get it.I swear to all mighty God, the younger brother of my friend was among the officers that graduated from short service course two weeks ago. Her was admitted without knowing any body and he is neither Hausa no fulani.He applied online and passed their necessary test and screening. Just believe in yourself things are been done on merit. Thanks

Just to put an icing to what my fellow comrades has highlighted, the surest way to become a Nigeria army involves two ways.

1. As a Muslim
2. Lastly, as a Northern.


If you fall in any of the about prerequisite you are good to go. Forget about your OND and Bsc you don't need it.

Mrreed:

You don't know anything. Keep quiet.

jiggyman:

Lol. So you don't know that she had a powerful connection... In between her legs. This recruitment thing in Nigeria works differently for females, especially attractive females.

Don't be so naive kiddo. Act like you know.

bro pls i wil like to no more about aw ur broda applied fr d SSC.

Even to sacrifice your self for Nigeria willingly is a problem.....
Is ok
Person won die for naija you still need connection ..

Everything is complicated in this country

Why why why?

Bright50135:
@OP, u don't need much to get into Nigerian army 2ru short services. though,in some cases,politics normally erupt,many a times,u may have connection but ur health issue will play otherwise. is not always abt connection, but be medically and physically fits. otherwise, u will nt b picked. Again,u believe in ur faith(prayerful).close to 50 tests will carried out on u to ascertain medical status. if u HV not b running 4.5km,u gat to start it now. there are many more oda tins to b put into considerations oda than connection

for Short service, without connection even though u make it to medical and physical fitness stage, u will be dropped because they will ask u who u know. For recruit without connection u can be recruited.

the younger brother of ur friend failed to open up

2.be a muslim and apply you will surly get there[No he's head have to be flat in shape igbo Christian by tribe this steps can help him to join biafran army ]

Adopt a fake hausa/fulani name.
Go for test or interview in caftan.
With that you need no connection or even God. Those in charge respect not the true God.

damiolly:
bro pls i wil like to no more about aw ur broda applied fr d SSC.

The procedure is simply ask friends and relatives to be watching media for you because the usually announce through newspapers, radio and television for people to apply online. The guy has HND is posted to Bauchi(armour). Last warning don't listing to nairaland bigots,

emperorgoke:

How?he is from poor family even planning to relocate from village to square with my friend. I swear with Almighty God the guy was admitted on merit.

Come what is your name sef. If u are a Muslim or Christian the only connection u need is God believe or not.Forget any man oooooo.Just believe in God ,do personal medical check up,available documents, always train,and have confident in yourself.All the best

adonbilivit:
believe in jesus.#faith

So many applicants have this same faith but at the end they were disappointed.Bro,na connection dey move person to his destiny in this part of the world.

op this is the best advice. Some people have turn nairaland to forum of display of bigotry. The issue of wether Hausa or what doesn't arises because each state has the same number

Bros What year did this happen? Are you sure this relative of yours is telling the truth?

Nobody will open up to you that he/she is handpicked through man knows man basis even though he is.Connection plays a role in army,airforce and navy recruitment processes.Especially the NDA stuff.

Go and be recruited into the civilian jtf in Bornu, fight Boko Haram n I can assure you quick recruitment into the army

emperorgoke:

For recruitment is by money o.The recruitment is like when a officer is posted to niger delta or to monitor pipeline vandals.You know how lucrative it is for such an officer.

There is always one or two people recruited without connection u can be one of those lucky few but without connection being identified as a muslim or hausa or just divine favour my brother scaling tru is like passing thru the eyes of a needle.
