chimoz: So what was aim of wanting to join the military if you were going be scared of bokoharam or to die for your country? You probably thought it could have been an easier way of making it in naija? A gateway to undue connection and privileges. 9 Likes |

Re: Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna Picture Thread by Nobody: 9:48pm On Oct 25, 2014 |
Nafizzey:sorry am not the op. But could help. Yes. After ur NYsc You can enroll in any of the various services programmes to become a commission officer IF ur grade is within the needed category Sir. Are u going into these Noble field due to passion and patriotism or due to lack of available employment as this factor is very important. The military is a tough place. Where u have to sign ur death warrant the moment u join the family 2 Likes |

Nafizzey:. You can. The military has roles for accountants in each arm service finance corps and if u wish u could still go for the other corps Yes a person can develop love and passion for the profession after joining that's the most important thing. Never see it as just a job But as service to humanity and Homeland I fell in love with the military as a Young boy Back them seeing Ecomog soldiers prepare for there mission was awesome. From there live stimulate training with marines(usa) to there departure with looots of morales and tears. To stories of Gallantry displayed by certain individual 2 Likes |

Just like the NYSC, the intention to establish the NDA was good, but the practices have made a mess of everything. One retired officer, a Lt. Col I met recently said that the army has lost its way in Nigeria beginning from the admission practices at NDA. Because of quota system, you have some with a score of 490 out of say 500 from Anambra, Imo, Delta, or Oyo sitting in the same classroom with someone who scored 20 or 30 out of 500 from Katsine, Zamfara, or Kano. Or worse still, someone who had successfully bribed his way into the class room could be your class mate. My friend made another good point: once you're admitted through corruption and compromise of the scores, you always remain corrupt, and cheat your way till retirement! Only in Nigeria. Compared to other national defense academies established about the same time in other nations like India, Brazil, and Malaysia, our NDA is a sorry sight. 11 Likes |

naijaking1: Every military academy in the world does that. Its all about who you know. Most military officers always push their kids or family in for legacy reasons and others get in thru who they know.That is just military politics nothing more. It is not a Nigerian thing. The quota system is even more important in a very heterogeneous Nigeria. Many high score students usually get in by enlisting and not thru the academy. The academy is always reserved for the students that knows someone for the most part. That is how the military establishment works. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

For those that graduate from NDA, what rank do they start from when they pass out? For instance I know that the least rank in the army is a recruit, then lance corporal, then corporal till you get to the highest rank which is Field Marshal. |
Re: Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna Picture Thread by neighy(m): 8:10am On Nov 13, 2014 |
shodexy:the Rank after Passing out From Nda is 2nd Lieutenant... And the highest rank an army officer has gotten to in Nigeria is Major General.. |

Missy89:True But... Do you Know the NDA dosnt produce Dull student?? Yea Some Got in tru people they know they are Better people who applied No Doubt... But for you to be admitted even Via GodFatherism you've Ghas be Smart... The person Helping you also have a Reputation to Protect and he wouldn't wantu shatter it by helping a dull Student Gain Admission.. You've Gat Drilling and Academic Classes everyday (Except weekends sometimes) Drill Early in the Morning Go to Class Drill in the Evening and at Night you're SomeWhere in the Bush Learning how to Navigate at Night Or Something Else..with this Occupied Schedule you've still ghas Read to make a First class Draw or second class lower... The academic aspect is just like the one of any Uni... So Forgetting the way U gained Admission They'll make sure you Give Your Best... 6 Likes |

neighy: NDA doesn't produce dull students? You are mistaken training(endurance) for intellect(mental powers of a particular person). That is 2 different things. You can train to be anything,That doesn't mean you are smart. Training sharpens your mind towards what you are taught and u have an advantage ONLY over a person that doesn't have the same training. That is why only few cadets can be a commanding officers even thou they all have the same training from the beginning. The mediocre ones would be wedded out after they leave college (some will still get CO positions based on connection thou) Many average students get in everywhere. When u talk about first class or second class, you make it sound difficult. There is no big deal in getting a first class or a 2-1, 2-2 in any naija uni. I have seen many Niaja first class graduates flunk basic freshman algebra (no kidding) here. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Missy89:Exactly First Class is so Easy that for Example Unilag Last Year a 5000+ graduated while only about hundred had First Class... If You've seen Many First Class Grad Flop then its not about NDA but Naija as a whole... And I stand on my word NDA do not produce Dull Student they Might not be Super Brilliant But they are Smart... Your definition of Training and Intellect Is Exactly the reason why errybody aint lyk Einstein Or Da vinci... They can't all have high intellectual powers but at least those that dosnt have,have training to back them up... And also abou Mental Powers... It has Classifications Also... #Conclusion...
