Dollarmind:
Can you please help with the breakdown of Nigerian Army BMI categories?

In this format please...
Underweight =
Normal weight =
Overweight =
Obesity =

The values are the same as what you find on google. All I'm saying is, if you fall from 18.5 to 29.9 you're safe. Outside that range, you may be screened out.

KODACK:
Guy, based on medical results..... Have they chased guys away based on being overweight??....... Cos to enter normal region no be moi moi

If your BMI is above 30, it may be valid grounds for disqualification. 25 to 30 is over we I, but they may still manage that. But 30? No, it's disqualification.

Estringx:
You guys should be fair enough... How do you expect us to see those tiny names? Haba

You're supposed to go out and buy the newspaper. Nobody is being paid to do this here bro.

Correct your English.
"As long as these wankers are on the seat of power, this country will never cease to be a joke".

And don't give me that mediocre hackneyed excuse of English not being your mother tongue. At least you've been studying in English language since you were born. Whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well. Look who's saying the country is a joke. Hehehehehehe.

KODACK:
It's been stated before......but I would repeat myself again cos my babe just jolified my stomach with a nice pot of........

Back to the topic.....
1. Boil water, I mean boiling water...... Pour it into a bowl or bucket and sit on it let the steam heal the pile ... do that minimum of 5 times daily.

2. Drink lots of water

3. Eat lots of soluble fibre food

4. Be friends with fruits and vegetables.....and palm oil aswell

5. Shit less if possible

6. Avoid s..ex, and if you must....make sure she is ontop from start to finish

7. Cold water is a no no, drinking and bathing

8. Jog, brisk walk often...helps in blood circulation in that region


Note: pile and hemorrhage are two different things oh ( the former is formed like capsules while the later is a tear in the anus that results to bleeding......so which do you have?)

Oya, vigilantes over to you all

5,6,7,8 are not necessary pls.

AirmanB:
From dis picture, do u think I have one?

Sir Tenderlaw, pls, I also solicit ur consideration on this.

One cannot tell just by looking at a picture. If you cough or try to sit up and the navel increases in size, then you have a hernia. Its that simple.

sikowitz17:
in terms of training and pt...there's no ssc or dssc..there's only the army! The same army..
So the same rule applies..
You think dssc training will be watered down from normal training?
The army na army oooo..

This is exactly correct.

Exercises like sit ups, burpee and pull ups can aggravate any little preexisting hernia. If you're found with hernia, no matter how small, you'll be screened out. Same with pile (thats why they check your arsehoole). It's not malice, it's just to keep you alive and useful to your family.

eclipsehemmy:
navy and airforce salute different from army

Only navy salutes differently. Army and airforce are the same.

Hello comrades.

I've profound passion for Navy, and I wouldn't mind registering, but I've b.ed/b.a in English language. I was told that they rarely accept those that studied English language.

Please, considering the fact above, would it be advisable if I still apply? I just do not want to waste resources and time.


P:S. I've 2:1

The website is open. Go to the site and check whether your course was listed as one of the required ones.

This is a pure shame

sikowitz17:
seen...that was 2018 sha but you were right...but they havent stopped posting...I'm still view academy pictures on Whatsapp and Instagram even now..

For the avoidance of doubt, only those you have in your contacts may view your WhatsApp, depending on your settings. If someone does not have your number, they may not view it. But Facebook is open to the world. Anybody can type your name and see what you posted (also depending on your privacy settings). So WhatsApp is far safer than Facebook on that issue. And YES, people are being court martialed. It may sound fake to some, and that's OK. Nobody has to believe it. When they get into the job and see their name on a court martial signal, that time they will believe. For now, nothing more to say. Peace.

ify2016:
Nawa o. What if I disengage with them in order to study overseas? Is it allowed? I don't want to stay long in this service and that prompted my question. Thanks House

If you have no plans to stay at least 15 years, don't bother buying the form.

gargoyle:
The Nigerian armed forces and their lack of special operators and covert ops units. My thoughts:

I have often wondered:

Do we really have special forces personnel on the Nigerian Armed Forces?

Every serious military should as we are in an age of wars left and right

I'm not talking about the pretenders we keep calling special forces soldiers ooo but real special forces soldiers that have undergone harsh training for at least 2 years in various aspects of warfare; both conventional and unconventional suited to specific mission purposes.

The US has at least 8 different types of Special operative soldiers in their Special Operations command that can be called up for various missions. E.g.

The Delta Force Unit

The Navy Seals of which Seal Team Six is the most elite unit of all seal team units.

The Green Berets

The 75th Ranger Regiment

The USAF special forces Paratroopers

The Marine Raiders

The Marine Force Recon

The Night stalkers (Special flight forces)

The CIA Special Activities Division (aka CIA Special Operations Group): They are the best of the best and their activities are very very very very very very very top secret. They are made of the best Special forces soldiers selected from the above spec-ops unit and trained again for at least 9 months. Some of them are so good that they are called out of retirement.

These are the ones I can remember right off my memory. Trust me, I didn't even need to check the internet for these units again because I have studied and read about them for at least 8yrs (no jokes). Many of these units have a rich history some of them dating back to WW2.

Now some of you are bragging here about how those that didn't want to die chickened out and I hear stupid statements like "Khaki work no easy", " they no get liver" and other stupid shit. They prolly realised that the NA doesn't care for its personnel in the battle ground and leaves them with 1950s and 1960s equipment to fight a well funded and internationally backed terrorist group with better equipment and armor. Nobody wants to die for such a military that withholds benefits from the families of the fallen soldiers.

Now don't get me wrong, I wasn't one of those who ran away from training. Even with my BS and MS degrees at age 24, I wasn't selected after applying for SSC multiple times at different years. However, I think it was God at work because looking back now, I don't think I can be truly patriotic for a poorly underfunded military like Nigeria's whose generals have since sold their souls to Lucifer (ISWAP) for money.

Now back to my little essay:

These elite units are highly funded with air support and drones and with the latest weaponry and kits and they aren't owed allowances neither are they secretly buried after they are KIA. In fact, its rare for the US to loose so many Spec ops soldiers in one day like the NA does.

This led me to the following conclusions:

The Nigerian Military has ill-trained soldiers whose only ability is foolish slogans like "Morale high" and "Kawai".

The Nigerian Military has no Spec-Op units. Taking selected men to trained for 6 months in a funny country like Serbia doesn't make them special operators. Average time for Spec-Op training in the US is 2 yrs after which each operator undergoes specialized training ranging from 6months -2 yrs depending on special skills to be learnt (e.g signals and common, Medical, etc).

The Nigerian Military is a Joke and has been reduced to Chicken shit no thanks to bad leaders. This raises another question: Does the Nigerian Military give out awards for bravery displayed in the line of duty to soldiers that go above and beyond in the face of enemy fire. This raises the morale of soldiers and their respective units. The awards are doled out posthumously too and the US regularly gives out wards for bravery to both living or dead soldiers. E.g.

Congressional Medal of Honor

The Distinguished service cross

The Navy Cross

The Air force cross

The Silver star

The Bronze star

The purple Heart

Read this https://themedalofhonor.com/medal-of-honor-recipients

Etc

But here is a country whose tales of gallantry displayed by soldiers against the terrorist are unknown. Please if you know if such tales, kindly tell them here as it will raise the morale of those going to the battle field.

I have now reels out what's been eating me about our military. You guys should feel free to share your thoughts, opinions and constructive criticisms etc.

Gos bless Nigeria and good luck to those who have applied and those fighting or going to fight in the North-East.

You would do well in the AMERICAN armed forces.

The opportunities for growth

nice write up...

I hope you realise it's very lame to quote this long article just to write this stuupid thing you wrote.

What I said was in generalization and not about a specific scenario.
...and don't teach me about ranks in military, my friend.

You are haughty as well as ignorant. Double jeopardy. Your case is beyond redemption.

J111333:
Nigerians and wrong usage of the word officer.
The word officer is meant for force men with ranks and not for every personnel.


Hml to the couple.

You only showed your ignorance with this post. You could have kept quiet instead. The man in the picture is a Lieutenant in the army, and Lieutenant IS A COMMISSIONED OFFICER. Officer ranks start from second lieutenant. So, its very very correct to call him an officer. You may google ranking structure of the Nigerian army.

That Benue girl is just too sweet.

Jayslicky:
Unnecessary show off. Being rich is not the number of cars you can acquire, it's by the number of lives you can impact positively through money. If I may ask, what value is E-money impacting to the Nigerian youths.

He doesn't owe the youths anything. He's not the government or Santa Claus. This entitlement mentality is witchcraft in disguise.

madgoat:
This big brother should be scrapped. Its immorality in broad day light

Stop watching it or clicking on news about it. Don't be a hypocrite.

Its a very simple matter. Those that do not wish to believe the info from the verified NA twitter account can go ahead and apply. Go ahead and give any info you want. It's a free world, and everybody has access to the internet.

There are many on Google Play Store. This particular one is Runtastic.

nelkon9999:
is this your record sir?

Yes. The only reason I'm putting that out here is to encourage someone, anyone, to try and be better. Don't try to compete with anybody, just be better than the person you were yesterday.
For screening purposes you don't need more than 3.2Km or 3.5Km max, but make it a lifestyle and the screening will just be a breeze.
