20-year-old UNILAG Student Dies At Nigerian Defence Academy, Family Kicks by nairafamedotcom: 9:09am On Sep 08, 2018 |
The family members of Damilare Taiwo, an Economics student at the University of Lagos, Akoka, have been thrown into mourning following his death a day after he resumed for training at the Nigerian Defence Academy in Kaduna State. The army authorities reportedly said the 20-year-old slumped and died during a training session last Tuesday. A brilliant student with a CGPA said to be in the range of Second Class Upper Division, the native of Ile-Ife, Osun State had always wished to be an accomplished army officer. He had applied for the Regular Combatant Course of the NDA in 2015 at 17, but did not make the list of the successful candidates. Undeterred by hard luck, promising Damilare reapplied for the programme a few months ago. He was shortlisted on August 8, 2018 among the 10 selected candidates from Osun State for the 70 Regular Combatant Course, coincidentally at a time when he was rounding off his first degree project. On Saturday, August 25, his father saw him off to Ikorodu Garage – some distance from their residence – beaming with joy that the first child of the family was about to embark on a journey to attain enviable ranks in the profession he had been nursing for years. “He left Lagos for Kaduna that Saturday, a day after he concluded his project in school, and reported at the training camp on Monday, August 27,” the deceased’s father, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, told our correspondent. Narrating Damilare’s journey through life, Oyedele said his death came to the family as a rude shock. http://www.nairafame.com/2018/09/20-year-old-unilag-student-dies-at.html Cc Lalasticlala Cc MissyB3 Cc Fynestboi Cc Seun Cc Mynd44

Only if he knew.... His degree would have been better even though Buhari have made high rate of unemployment a part of life in Nigeria, at least you would be alive and wait till the dullard is kicked out in 2019 and employment opportunities restored by a sane and life filled President. Rest in peace bro! 3 Likes |

Damilare Taiwo. Why these people aren't strong still baffles me till date. Yet they'll be the first to start fight and pull off cloths and shoes. Ordinary NDA training this one no fit cope. If he con dey delta force, marines or M15 nko? |
