Nigerdeltaboi: Prospective Officers use this one calm down  NIGERIAN FACT FILE: ORIGIN OF THE SHORT SERVICE COMBATANT COMMISSION (formerly Nigeria Emergency Commission) 1. The Nigerian Emergency Commission (later redesignated the Short Service Combatant Commission) kicked off in March 1967 2. The idea was to rapidly train cadets for 3months, with emphasis on serving NCOs and ex-boys of the Nigerian Military School(NMS) 3. Prior military training,it was hoped, would make up for the short duration of the training of NEC officer cadets
4. At the time,the Army’s officer corps had been badly hit by the exodus of Ibo officers back to Eastern Nigeria as civil war loomed 5. Both officer Corps & teeth arms alike (Infantry,Armour,Artillery,Signals & Engrs) had until 1966 been dominated by Ibo officers 6. The Nigeria Emergency Commission Course 1(later redesignated SSC 1) had a few famous cadets in that pioneer 1967 intake 6. One of them was Sgt Tanko Ayuba(a Maj Gen as of 1998) who left the NMS in 1961 & became a NCO as was customary 7. Another one was Sgt John Shagaya, who left the NMS in 1963 & was a Brig Gen as of 1993 when he retired from service 8. Shagaya served as Commander 9 Brigade, Minister of Internal Affairs, AFRC Member, ECOMOG Commander & GOC 1 Division 9. Another SSC 1 cadet was Sgt John Inienger, who like his classmate & coursemate Shagaya, also left the NMS in 1963. 10. Inienger was Commander 4 Brigade, Military Governor of BENDEL, AFRC Member, ECOMOG Commander & GOC 2 Division 11. To meet the exigencies of war,the SSC officers came in every 3 months and moved straight to the battlefield thereafter. 12. So SSC 1 got commissioned in Sept 1967 and plunged straight into battle as the Civil War had started on July 6th, 1967 13. The most famous SSC 2 officer is Maj Gen Chris Alli, an Intel officer commissioned Dec 1967, who later became a Chief of Army Staff. 14. Mar 1968,SSC 3 turned out the likes of Brig Gen Ahmed Abdullahi(ex GOC 1 Div) & Maj Gen Alwali Kazir, who rose to be a COAS 15: SSC 4 had Lt Gen IR Bamaiyi (a former COAS), his elder bro Maj Gen Musa Bamaiyi, Brig Gens I.Sabo, I. Karmashe & Maj Gen Patrick Aziza courtesy ; Beegeagle blog nice |

I have pondered on this for a while so I decided to make a little research.
The "six-feet" idiom came to be during the Great Plague of London in 1665. With 20 percent of London’s population succumbing to the Bubonic plague, the death rate had reached over 8,000 per week. The disease continued to sweep the country due in part to the shallow graves that bodies were buried in, or so they believed at the time. In an effort to limit the outbreak, The Lord Mayor of London enacted a series of rules in regard to the plague, which included a mandate that all graves be buried a minimum of six feet deep. The law fell into disuse for a time as dead bodies were not responsible for the spread of the disease. The law was eventually overturned in England and its colonies, but this didn’t last long. By the 19th century medical science had seen a huge increase in the use of human cadavers for teaching purposes. While most bodies used were executed criminals, the indigent or donated bodies, the increasing demand led to a shortage of corpses. This demand created a new type of criminal, the Resurrectionists; criminals who stole corpses, also known as “body snatching.” Grave robbing became a lucrative business. Grave robbing became a very profitable business. Some grave robbers were able to dig up four corpses per night in less than two hours to sell to the medical colleges. They could perform this task so quickly because during this period many bodies were buried only six inches below the surface. As the fear of being exhumed and displayed in an anatomical theatre for dissection haunted the aristocracy, the law reverted to the old standard of being buried six feet deep. Modern American burial laws vary from state to state, with many states requiring just a minimum of 18 inches of soil on top of the casket or burial vault. Given an 18-inch dirt buffer and the height of the average casket, a grave as shallow as four feet would be sufficient, but old habits die hard and six feet deep is now standard.
