Ssc applications put numbers at 2700+ this morning...

It’ll pain most of you if you pass the exam and only to get to screening and disqualified because you couldn’t read from like 10 pages Before this one to get questions to your answers..I don’t think there isn’t a question that hasn’t been answered at some point..

It’s good to practice all these questions but army’s exams are simple...we hardly read but we always pass it..

jamze:
Pls oh, like d DOB on my Waec is +1yr compared to other documents...but m using age declaration. Hope I won't have any issues with dat.....pls reply asap

Chinex57:

omo boss this first exam to be honest, I have no idea how it’ll be but since it’ll most likely be obj... it’ll be English maths and current affairs..

OAMAXWELL1:
Please abt the Letter of Attestation.

Which of our former Institution are they referring to?

University or Place of work bcuz Academic institutions was not mentioned.

You are supposed to get it from your university or department in school... but from past experiences, it’s not necessary... they don’t always make it compulsory

MrSuama:
Not every comment requires reply. I keep on saying this year in year out. Anywhere you find yourself, make more friends than enemies to achieve your aim.
Check past threads, almost all those whom were synonymous to knowing it all make the list.
Mind you, am not against or for anybody, just saying my mind.
What we should be after right now is how to ace the forthcoming exams but our mind no deh there. Una don successful shut one person weh supposedly fit give us Intel, I wonder how others go behave.
Abeg where that officer wey tell us say registration go start on 17th, abeg how the exam go be? What area should one be prepared for?
How I wish the exam go be Computer Based sef, at least some people go fit showcase their brains in conjunction with their divine connection.

the exam should be obj... it’s computers that’ll mark it and the list would be out barely a week or at most 2 after we write the exams..then we’d write another exam during the screening which would contain the essay and other things..

Omo bro I’m here and I’m chilled.. I still dey..

explosiveskull:
I hope this won't make you change your personality to please anybody?
The same way he perceived you as I too know and exaggerating things is actually what some people need including I as a person, he should have ignored your former post if it ain't made for him, I know so many people enjoy that your particular personality he perceives as being bad to him. Please just disregard some of these wrigglers and fire on with how you've been of immense help to so many including me, his calling you out shouldn't quench that spirit, his opinions are made only for his back pocket not ours.
Thank you for the one you've don before.

Omo guy I’m just here ooo.. I didn’t take anything to heart Cos everybody has the right to have their own opinion about someone which is fine... doesn’t mean it has to be right..some folks that know me here personally know who I work for and some of the places I’ve worked.. If he thinks everybody is jobless like he is it’s fine.. but the last thing I’d do is trade words aggressively with anybody here again.. obviously I’m not right most of the time and immediately I’m corrected, I usually reply with “my bad or I’m sorry” but like I said.. he has his own opinion..so thank you for reaching out.. we will smile this year bro... I’m positive

Arisukuni:
Brotherly, you see I don't even know which of your post to quote but let me sha quote this one and pass my message.

You see! You are helping people with information but at the same time you brag to much and
you too dey exaggerate. You actually dont need to do I too know before you pass your information. You are shouting as if na only you get passion pass for this job.

Let me tell you, concerning the passion of a thing you mentioned in some of your quotes, during 45 wen we are been transported to Afaka for medicals there is this Tall Oyo state guy that we do rapport in NDA, the guy no get passion at all, he was working in one bank like that in Abuja, he didn't even come with any printed document except for his credentials, so Col. Tukur and Lt Saleh advice him to go to business center in Mammy market to edit his forms he couldn't print online, it was inside the bus he was just writing out his application number from the newspaper I had with me. this guy no get passion at all.

Even after the board selection he was successful to report for training, I called him to ask how far, he said he wasn't sure yet if he will go or not. Then I advice him to pray and do any consultation he wanna do on time. That since he made it to the final he shouldn't waste the slot, I advised him not to dash when he enters training, that if he dashes he should remember he cannot return to his banking job again. I told him to zero his mind. Even we wey get passion no make am. This life no balance. So many of them course 45 like that that I motivated, encourage to go and not dash, am glad they made it out successfully, even though I couldn't make it I am glad they made it out from training successfully.

This my guy am talking about, he got passion for the job las las, he was even selected for SF training, and completed the SF training. Now I can see him happy with the job with strong passion. For course 46 and this 47 he use to be amongst top 5 friends that send me the update that the form is out. What am trying to explain since is that most people who doesn't have passion when they finally join they use to have passion more than somebody claiming he has passion. You cannot judge the future by the present. Nobody will force you to have passion, but by the time you start the training and passed out successfully you will not know where the passion will come from.

So @ sikowitz17, in most cases people who no get passion na dem dey get this job pass on time while those who get passion gets it after several trials or end up giving up self. I don't know if I know you by face, but I guess you are the Kwara guy, if I guess right I believe I saw you in course 46 also which I believe you may still make to 47 if God wish. Cuz I see so many people we met in 45 and met them in 46 again. So sikowitz17, please stop doing over sabi, I too know, and exaggeration, I remember the other time you were arguing that a General we met at the 46 is a SSC whereas is a Regular, you argued it like say you sabi the person well, I told you fact then until someone else said same thing I said here, most things you say sometimes are based on them say dem say, some you don't talk on fact, some you talk based on something you read somewhere, and when you come here you will be saying as if you witnessed or encountered it.

Even you that you are talking about passion, I can categorically tell you that if you had gotten a good paying job before this 47 you wouldn't apply this year again, na because you still never get better job with a good pay that's why you are always coming here to shout like say your passion pass other people own. You no deep down your heart that what am saying is true but you will deny it anyways. There is someone like you that normally come here to over exaggerate and do I too know and over sabi before but hin don calm down now, the guy will be reading this so he knows himself.

So as far as you never dey commissioned, wey you still dey apply like me and every other people here , please stop doing I too know or over sabi, even the commissioned officer no go get time for such. So please give your information, make it fact on what you know, and don't comma be talking more than what you know. Las las we go dey alright.

So we go again for 47 my course mate sikowtiz17.

We no go give up, na person wet give up Bleep up!

okay

I get issue with that primary school certificate, the public school I attend doesn't issue it again and I tried persuade the HM the last time I went, she said that is all they issue that it stand as certificate, immediately I contacted an officer, he said it is the same that I can use the one I get too, but coming here, a very senior colleague who have been to the screening twice or so was saying it disqualified. I'm confused sef

na my guy you be... I’m giving you advice fam!!!! Go and get it.. I’m not an officer ooo but there are some things I’ve seen... I repeat one last time, it’s from the gate when they are collecting copies you’ll know you’ve messed up.

Missed my point entirely... you said it yourself everybody’s boots will touch the grounds.. so why coming here to hope that you won’t b posted there...
Like it or not, a lot of these people applying still think in one corner of their mind that they won’t go..anyways the people I look up to understood the reality of the job, gladly accepted their posting there and one out of 4 paid the supreme price... one voluntarily went back and is still there currently.. because THATS THE JOB!!!!

Dannyhonda:
I agree with everything except the part you said "When i become an officer, i hope they don't post me to North East" if you ask anyone, most don't wanna go to those side but eventually some will surely get it. They say there is power in the tongue, why would you pray for such? Good and fine you are an officer but u can't say because of that you want to go to a bloody infected war zone that the survival rate is low. That's why till today, those soldiers or officers when they are posted from the north to maybe south south or south west, they are always happy. If not what this country have turned to, been posted to the north ain't bad but when u see what's happening to our brothers and sisters u tend to think properly. I agree with all u said except that statement which i quoted, we need to go speak positive things. Just like you waiting to be posted for nysc or a type of job, most people would always pray never to go to those places. If it comes good and fine, if it doesn't good. Life goes on, if you go to the south south zone like the port Harcourt area and all, those places are also rugged but people still prefer there than the north. No officer would ever say he wants to be posted to the north maybe few which have hidden agenda. There are some placed, u dare not wear your uniform if not u gonna be killed or even slaughtered. Imagine going to get something to eat and such happens not like u were actually working presently. That's why God gave us wisdom to think, a US officer or marine can't be happy been posted to iraq, qaza and the likes. Anyways lets hope for the best and let God see us through, Victory is from God.

Apparently you’ve not met any US officers or marines...they are always very happy to “get some”

Many of you aren’t ready for this job... and that’s what pains me so much.. it’s you guys that’ll get it..you are asking if you’ll go to war so you can be safe!!
There’s shortage of manpower! They can put you in finance as Dssc today and you’ll be happy... tomorrow you are in Hilux with AK47

I pray all of you will pay your dues in the northeast... enough of all these empty applications..

My brothers have died wearing that same uniform you just want to flex in and catch cruise with..

And if you get this job and dash from training it’s God that will punish you.

Some of you haven’t even come here to express intentions when the form wasn’t out.. we never saw you.. abi na silent readers most of Una be... form came out and wooooosh.. everybody want a piece of the pie..

The only thing that can keep you happy I’m this line of work is the passion and the joy you get... this job is a calling.. it’s not a job opportunity and it’s upsetting seeing that most of the guys applying are just doing so for fun...

I didn’t just wake up by to 4 to rant... somethings are happening underground... I’m hopeful my mutuals here that are truly passionate get it.. it’s officers like them id like to call brothers and coursemates..

Derawalters:
Meanwhile, you people shuu wish me happy baiday o.
Today's my bornday .
Thank you. �

happy birthday coursemate... long life and prosperity

Prospect048:
not assuming, from what I was told by an officer, he said the two are the same, like kwara state, I was not issued that flsc, they said they only issue testimonial.

okay sir... I won’t say more than I already have.. just keep the officer number... you’ll be needing to call him later

Judah95:
@sikowitz17 , When I had issues with my application (I couldn't edit my details I had saved earlier on the portal), I contacted the Facebook page of Nigeria Army. They requested for my email and Name. Few minutes laters, they responded by saying they couldn't find my name on 'their list' .

I was surprised because I could still login with my password. Doesn't that mean I'm on their database?

Please I need your thoughts.

Do I need to start a fresh application or just continue with the existing application?

i think you should message them to explain better and let them give you guideance..

segundpundit:
Guys please can I use primary school testimonial in place of fslc.

you just want to put pressure on yourself... fslc is not testimonial...you can apply and be shortlisted and one army captain will screen you out and it’ll pain you...better find a way to get it before screening closes

ugo4u:
Very poor..
I wanna believe those in charge are doing something about the site because many people are finding it difficult to register. At this pace we might end up with about 10,000 applicants and about half of that number for SSC which is very low. Though I do feel there will be extension of the deadline.
Last time application was in excess of 100k for each Commission.

Allah ya bada sa'a

if they extend it I’ll bend... extend it to when? there’s a timeline to follow...you apply fine.. you no apply, candidates that couldn’t apply will still come..

orient53:
But would this LETTER OF ATTESTATION FROM FORMER INSTITUTION pose a challenge? Cos I dont have one n, even in normal circumstances, to go about getting it is outta options.
Cant admission letter stand in its place?

Forget that letter baba..

OAMAXWELL1:
Please guys I need your advice on something. I'm a graduate of Accounting, I have my AAT certification & have also taken the Ican exam to some extent. Can I apply for DSSC?

did they advertise accounting? If you saw your course for dssc then apply simple

jamze:
Pls oh, at skiwotz and d rest.
At the signing pages, can d same person that sign LGA form, sign d reference form?? cos d referee form is 2 while d LGA is one. i.e can d same person sign all pages including d two referees and LGAs.?

yes ooo... that’s how we do it right from time

MrSuama:
Who also noticed that if you start the application and could not finish, when you log in again, the application number changed.

they won’t reserve application number for anybody... if you log out, they’ll give it to somebody else that’s registering... when I started registering it was giving me no 13 by the time I finished.. I don enter 100+

emmieachichi:
5 days after portal opens, see d number of candidates for ssc so far, naija has changed o

i day it’ll be like course 45... after they’ve dropped half in medicals, they’d now start begging dssc people to resume for ssc training...even if they shortlist 60 per state, it’ll be like 15/30 people that would report for screening... only north will have like 45/58

orient53:
Person go dey carry waist bag like kopa be that
NYSC na still army sha

you want to wear waist bag where? In nda? Lol you’ll hear from the rsm... you better don’t even bring it before it buys you job...
they were collected last course
Anything important to you will be in your documents folder with you and you’ll take it everywhere...

Oh another one... if you get ssc... never leave any important item in your bag like money, a wristwatch, phone etc... it’s not only candidates that steal.. some bastard boys find ways into the rooms and begin to search... last time they took my memory card, atleast they left the phone for me... took about 200 dollars in my bunkies wAllet..touched peoples possessions randomly

ugo4u:
Most importantly secure your original credentials by all means possible. Infact move around with it even to the toilet, or keep with a trusted person after both of you must have confirm the number of credentials you're handing over to him/her some candidates are devils in human form especially your village people. They may decide to fúck you up to boost their chances, by tearing are binning your certs. Screening ground na Game of thrones their are lots of Lord Baelishs.

lol this one sef Dey... even when I bought job... I was serving it with my documents..documents na the first thing wey Dey disappear.

Salala...gegemu...uncle please decode for common man.

Okay, the people that will be successful for screening, I hope you know army will check for covid-19.

any small rise in temperature like this... is problem... I’m assuming that they’d be checking from the gate before entry..

For those that have never gone for screening before there are a lot of factors that can make or mar you during the exercise...study the people shortlisted from your state... the ones with actual connections are usually the ones that hardly talk... oh and there’d be a lot of loud guys bragging and trying to make you think they know all..
Never argue with the medical examiners... try your best possible to be polite as they would randomly say stuffs that can get you very angry...one even touched a candidates boobs in my presence and the girl smiled it off...they can Bleep you up big time...
Don’t reason all soldier as useless... as unimportant as you thing corporal Ibrahim is, help can come from anywhere...believe it or not candidates come to form one thing there, constantly arguing with authorities..

Always try to find favor... if rsm says cut your hair, cut it and go show him that you cut it... you’ll think it’s insignificant but rsm has already marked your face for good..

Don’t buy any soldiers job... once they start to discuss you, mhennnn

Find original salala

It won’t be stipulated but please buy white sneakers... you can be forming they didn’t specify.. dem dey notice you...

Cut yourself gegemu... even doe I won’t cut my own... I’ll hide it with face mask

Limit friendships... your states men dey consciously or unconsciously find weak points... thy will snitch on you... course 45 that they didn’t allow us use phones during screening, there were snitching everywhere hoping that they’d be evicted from camp to increase chances..

Finally that I can remember don’t buy officers job..if they accuse you of something, explain respectfully and smile.. they will rubbish, bullshit, and talk to you anyhow... remember you cane there to pass..

Oh and when you leave every medical check, say thank you and smile to the medical people... believe it or not, that warm greeting fit make dem cancel something that they’ve discovered... chow!

Ramirezsarki:
Those of us wey HBP comot us for last board, if u most chop garlic or moringa, better start now, if you know you know

lol bro most of us didn’t have that shit... the guy that told me my bp was high sef was confused... I’ll tell you something here... the real reason I and most of the guys from my state didn’t get in last time... my state has the highest number of females shortlisted, Cos board president and secretary was from my state.. 9 ladies were shortlisted and 8 got in.. because they decided to help all... out of let’s say 12 per state.. the odds were already in their favor.. I never had any bp issues.. at the same time, most of the guys that they told had it did a test outside the academy for #30... it was all normal.. so I just took it that it wasn’t Gods time yet.

Dannyhonda:
I just confirmed something that they will still shortlist people for exam again, how true?

lol you thought it’s everybody that will write exam? It’s from that first list that’ll you see people vexing on Nairaland...we should just pray we make the first and second list
