Those Cadets fall hand walahi! No be say dem de do plumming 101. They're blinking 2nd termers for God sake! Honestly if I am their BSUO or ACA I go make sure say dem serve serious puttees/ job till dem hang 5 bars. For one bringing my Father's Academy into disrepute and secondly for allowing bloody civilians to clear their doubts. They're supposed to "officer gentle men". But on a serious note, if the Academy mgt get the identity of those cadets, omo e don set for them oh! At least, either relegation or outright withdrawal no go pass them by. |

Kogi state in general is a major Security threat. A couple of months ago, my elder brother was shot by armed Fulani men around Itakpe axis. He was driving and encountered a road block thinking it was the police, only for armed Fulani men wearing turban and dark cloth covering their eyes emerge from the thick forest. (My brother is very fluent in Hausa, so he could tell from their language that they were Fulani) His reflexes immediately went into overdrive, he quickly took off with high speed and almost hit one of them, who quickly jumped into the bush. The others immediately released a volley of shots from the Ak -47s into his vehicle, but he was lucky enough to only sustain a flesh wound, the bullet grazed his hand and hit another passenger seated behind who got life threatening injuries ( didn't know if he survived or not) He managed to drive to Itakpe town and was told that he's very lucky, others weren't so fortunate, they're instantly killed or herded into the bush and various ransoms placed on their heads. |
Solitechworld:Link please. |
Of course every one knows job slots are sold codedly, I have a friend who bought the Federal Fire service Job for 400k, he is currently hanging 2 stars. A friend to a cousin of mine bought NDIC job for #5M through one Hajiya, he was placed on Level 10 cos he had prior work experience. That same cousin of mine facilitated employment in PEF ( Petroleum Equalization Fund) for one lady who paid #1M cash and was placed on Level 8 ( na her boyfriend even pay the money) The sad fact is that, everything in this country is for sale, all you have to do is get a reliable connect, pay and the job is yours! If you want to see levels just go to federal character commission, they just share slots among the principal officers who In turn resell it or secure the jobs for their relatives or cronies. Even the so called NIPPS is a complete scam, it's a major job racketeering outfit that all manner of atrocities are committed. A major reason the Northerners are against restructuring is because of the power they enjoy at the centre, the real truth is that the country belongs to the Hausa - Fulanis, they run things and determine who gets what, when and how. Go to some parastatals and agencies, na dem boku there. When you enter places like NSPMC ( printing and minting) you'll wonder whether na Ab oki organization, same for Customs, DMO, NPA or any "juicy" organization. That's why they will do anything possible to secure power and be in charge. Only God fit help this country, Walahi. ![]() |

This is a major problem confronting most Christian minorities in Northern States where there is a large Muslim population. They forcefully abduct and marry off teenage girls without the consent of their parents. The practice is largely supported by Muslim elites who see it as a way of converting the "infidels" and also stemming their growth and influence. Law enforcement agencies appear to be incapacitated and lethargic when the cases are reported to them. In some instances highly referred Traditional rulers eg, Emirs, chiefs and Islamic clerics give their tacit support to the practice. Here are some links that buttress my point: http://saharareporters.com/2021/04/18/emir-katsina-illegally-marries-christian-teenager-her-abductor https://www.sunnewsonline.com/forced-marriage-ordeals-of-christian-girls-in-northern-nigeria/ |
haslaw:What about those NCOs who're Ex - boys ( NMS - Zaria) or Ex JAMs ( Air force military school, Jos ? Are they not equally young, experienced and armed with a degree, unlike the blinking graduates who frolicked in the university/ Poly, only to get commissioned into the army through connection? Do you know till date the NA does not even write aptitude test or any qualifying exam before selecting candidates for Short service? So tell me what criteria do they use in selecting? They just select people randomly and commence training just like that. So how can you be sure the process is fair? Some of the NCOs you're vilifying had to pass through all manner of frustration before they could even get the opportunity to acquire the degree. Some wicked commanders out of envy and insecurity, blatantly refused to allow these NCOs proceed on the course in the higher institutions. Are you aware that even most of these so -called graduate officers are the ones messing up the Army? They don't have the grit and stamina necessary to function as well trained soldiers. Majority are cowards and bail out in combat situation. A case in point, is the massacre that happened in Metele - Borno state. Majority of the officers killed or captured where the short service cadre ( Colitos) Even among the rank and File, especially the SNCOs, complain that these types are usually the major problem the army is having, because they see the army as a job or meal ticket rather than as a calling. The Nigerian Army made a big mistake by even opening up The SSC space to university graduates, they should have exclusively reserved it for young Military personnel with higher qualifications and then left the DSSC spot for university or Poly graduates. |
haslaw:, Come Oga, I no be IBO, I was merely pointing out what I noticed during my time in Enugu. Besides, same also happened to my relative who's from Benue and also a Cpl with BSc degree. He was screened out from the SSC selection process because he acquired his degree without army sponsorship. He left the army out of annoyance because of that incidence. |
Dagger111:that is, you must have been given army sponsorship, the army must have officially released you to pursue your degree, if you don't have that permission, if you like get 5 PhDs dem no go send u. |
juniior:Guy stop misinforming the public, as a DSSC officer you're commissioned as a Full Lt ( 2- star) the commission is meant to last not more than 10 years except you convert to DRC ( direct regular commission) that's why most DSSC officers who don't convert within the period of 10 years hardly cross the rank of Major or it's equivalent. In fact, in medical corp, those who are consultants or have higher medical qualification are even commissioned as Captains or Full Lt with One - year seniority over their mates commissioned the same day. Whereas Regular officers who are commissioned as 2/Lt get to become full Lt after a Year. ( previously used to be after 6mths) that one na bonanza for every body, it is after that they go for Lt - Capt promotion exams. |
Dagger111:Some of the NCOs even possess BSc, MSC and even PhD! I even knew one Sgt in 82Div Enugu who had a MSC while his friend a S/Sgt had a PhD! Unfortunately, both were IBO's and had no "long leg" the military should have concentrated more on commissioning those ones especially for SSC cadre and left DSSC for blinking civilian graduates. |
I talk am, I knew na Colito officer go fit behave like this, and a man must be involved! Codedly the Lt de envious say the corper de collect "Lamba" from somebody she de eye. |
Edoreborn:Which RC? U said u spent 6years? Were u relegated? |
TTC mobile, Joel ogunnaike street, Ikeja |
wizseller:Getting permission to leave the Academy on pass is not too easy to get oh! One of my home boys in 52RC wasn't even allowed to go home for his mum's burial and he was the last born. Today he is Wing commander in the NAF. |
Bolaji26:Haba! AWOL does not merit dismissal ( except you're a chronic awolee) worse case scenario they should have given you relegation or Restriction with loss of pay and IHL ( intensive hard labour) |
I pray he maintains his integrity and faith in God. The NPF is a behemoth and the very bastion of corruption, In fact it is corruption personified. The force has an ignoble history of pulling down good men and women who want to do the right thing, some how your career gets truncated or you're made redundant till you become frustrated. The problem with the NPF is nepotism, mediocrity and flagrant disregard of federal character principle. The major problem lies with the upper echelon, which is filled with half educated, mediocre and power drunk Hausa - Fulani officers who know next to nothing about positioning the force to conform to 21st century policing. The NPF is too centralized and I highly subscribe to state policing so as weaken the power of the centre. Further more, I recommend the NPF be restructured to Function like the FBI which has oversight over the various state police departments in the US ( with various levels of autonomy) So young "incorruptible officer" I pray the oil "unction" on your life speak grace for you and also position you at the pinnacle of your career. |
FutureIsFemale:By their fruits... |
I think at this stage in AJ's career, it's time to call it quits. He has nothing to prove again as a 2- time Heavy world champion. Let him move on to other endeavours, at least he has amassed a substantial stash to survive on. Leave now before your case becomes like that of Samuel Peter. |
cryptotech:Who dash Singapore Islamic country? If u say Malaysia I will agree with u, but not Singapore check this link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore |
lomaxx:a Captain in the Navy is Col equivalent na, dem no born the WO to "assume" where a col is concerned. But in the Army "your appointment is more than your rank" after all, was it not in the Same Army, Maj Mustapha,( CSO to Abacha) been de clear generals doubt? He bleeped most of them up. |
Missionaire:It's all semantics. |
Missionaire:, you can become an officer without a degree if you're enlisted and selected for branch commission/ quartermaster, but it's very rare and not frequently done, I've seen instances where the RSM ( regimental Sergeant Major) of NDA a master warrant officer (MWO) was commissioned a Captain and retired after a few years, and yes he wasn't a degree holder. |
Kandeed:, Guy u no know wetin u de yarn abeg, a blinking Lt order a Warrant officer to swim in mud! May be it can happen to a Private or L/CPL but never a Warrant officer, to attain the rank of WO u must have put in not less than 20 years in service, na I'm one blinking Lt, that just passed out from NDA or Colito wey just hang Lt go kon the throw smoke for a WO! At worst he can order him to report at the Mess, remove belt and shoes, then just de high inside de mess. Some Captains de even fear to talk to some Warrant Officers, especially if he's an appointment holder like Unit RSM or even chief clerk. In most instances, the WO even trained the Lt while at the academy as a blinking cadet, so that fear still de. A Warrant officer is like a general among the Non commissioned officers and wields a reasonable amount of respect and influence, so as an officer before u fit get liver talk down on him u need check urself well. |
Missionaire:Not all officers are graduates or degree holders. Ever heard of Branch or Quarter master commission? This is a commission given to SNCOs ( senior non commissioned officers) like MWO or WO2 with proven leadership qualities. But most don't go beyond the rank of Major or it's equivalent. In fact, up till about the early 2000s one can be commissioned with just 5 credit passes in SSCE ( I.e. SSC, short service commission) but was subsequently reviewed to BSC or HND. |
She think say she still de NDA? Na her type go sabi malinger or thin out during puttees. I won't be surprised if na colito she be sef. Yeye de smell |
arsenal33:Making a suggestion and complaining are 2 different things, be educated please. |
They ought to have transported the Tucano Jets in a large Cargo plane just like the Pakistanis did with the super mushshak jet trainers. That would safe fuel and logistics cost in addition to reducing pilot fatigue. |
A man who is married to a very beautiful woman and a man who's farm is by the road, have the same problem. Beautiful women na instant turn off for me. |
CSTRR:U for tell de guy say "after sack" ![]() |
