Lynette2cute:


I've been asking around, no headway. please do you of any ophthalmologist In kd?

FunnyDude:
I was shortlisted but ain't going no where.

Not dieing for a failed state like Nigeria

My blood is precious

My moral is so low

After going through University suffering paying school fees, will I end it fighting Bokoharam for the Abokis that created it?

My family friend was given a slot last 2years as an officer, he was killed last year in the army


The even the timing to fill the forms is damn short

It further shows that Nigeria doesn't have its citizen at heart. Imagine the short period for preparation.

One candidate down from Lagos state

Bleep NA

Lynette2cute:

Daewoods:
I've always loved the military, not for any flimsy reason like their uniform or whatever but the discipline, life changing skills, experience and knowledge one get to gather, having had a close uncle who retired as a Colonel though late now.
Within the last 4 years graduated from Uni, served, hustling as any normal Nigerian youth, got married and began my applications into the Nigerian army SSC began, first two times, failed to be shortlisted, then my third time which is the current going on, was shortlisted.
Funny thing about my third time was that I was certain about being shortlisted even though I had no godfather, long leg or whatever but I already had doubts about going for the selection, watching video upon video of how soldiers are being killed for nothing due to the massive corruption in Nigeria and it's military too, soldiers complaining about corruption, no weapons, being generally tired of the job, both online and those I know personally offline.
Got shortlisted as I expected, my love for the military still strong, quickly printed all my documents I've saved waiting, went to my bank got my bvn slip, almost did my ECG report but decided to first do some other things.
University attestation; found out no head way due to my uni being on strike.
I live in Lagos, and I'm expected to get Local govt proofs and signings from my LGA in an Eastern state, who are on Christmas and New year break due to it being a small LGA council.
Began reaching out to people @ getting a Lt Col from my state to sign for me, all i reached out to, both civilians and military personnel all failed me, some are even yet to return or reply my calls and msgs and visits.
All this in addition, the Nigerian army expects us to do within a week, that fell during the Christmas and New year celebration and holidays, and all of which you can hardly prepare for before hand because you stand little chance of being shortlisted or not at all even.
Things are needlessly hard and frustrating in Nigeria and I'm sincerely tired, Nigeria kills dreams and it's either I make money and leave this country or I leave this country.
The army could have shortlisted the names earlier, given 2 or more weeks to prepare, which didn't have to be within the period they did. The army have to do away with needless requirements, eg local government signing and all, Lt Col and above signing and other things, does it mean that a person knowing no top serving officer or personnel in the the military or police can't get into the military?, means the system is only made then for themselves i.e the military personnel and politicians and their kins and not for the common masses. Things can definitely be made easier.
Even as a struggling young man having help from no angle, I'm expected to spend more than N50,000, traveling to my university, then to my state/LGA, then down to kaduna in addition to other things I'm to do all of which requires money, for a recruitment I stand little or no chances of making successfully.
I guess all this needless process are done to waste people's time and get just those who the country already favor into the military, because out of the 30 persons per state only say 15 to 20 max who have the backings of a system that doesn't work, will be able to do all needed and required and then report for the screening.
All is well though, even if my military dream in Nigeria is gone forever, maybe if I get to leave Nigeria and age is on my side I can still do so in a far better and organised country's military. I just hope if even though I know it's foolhardiness that Nigeria gets better and easier, things are not always done or gotten by suffering and hardship, but whether Nigeria gets better or not, I hope to be in a far better place, out of Nigeria soonest, achieving my dreams, though I know still seeing Nigeria and all its known for which are mostly negative on the news.
Success to all those shortlisted going today and in the following days. If successful try to be a change in any little way or position you can.
#Minus one candidate from Abia state.

Bros u tried and at the same time fall my hand since u are certain ur name will be shortlisted u could have signed ur document b4 the list was out and at the same time if ur passion was as strong as uve said u could have fight to the end. Let me tell u this I signed my local government forms with 8k that's to tell u how determined I was becos I was told I have to pay for new state citizenship cert wc I can't even collect at the point of signing. All the same I pray 4 a better tomorrow for us all

petengine:
Good morning all. Please any updates about the happenings @ NDA?

@ugo4u any hope for the gate crashing stuff?

ugo4u:
@ Lynette2cute where you able to get the contact lens? to get a pair is about 6k, I know of a candidate that bought a pair, and will be only using one, if you're still interested I can beg him to give you one(i.e if you're shortsighted in only one eye and in NDA)

Iyajelili:

You are too nice. Maybe that is the reason the military especially Nigeria military is rejecting you cos this world can't bear to lose someone like you now.
