@ All

Thanks you everyone for your interesting and inciteful replies. From, your replies i take it that you must enter some type of officers candidacy school at some point or take a series of exams, and then emerge as an officer. This way seems more attractive than the original method I was told (Enter as a bodyguard and etc), but I see the time as a drawback. I will continue to think about this, and I will appreciate additional replies and etc.

PS
I would prefer the army rather than the airforce since Nigeria's areoplanes are obsolete. And I would have second thoughts about the navy since there are so many unique ways to die and Nigeria's navy is also a joke.
If it were within my power, I'd suggest that Nigeria send its generals and officers to foreign wars inorder to gain some serious experience (ie Cote D' Ivoire, Somalia, Sudan, Chad, etc.

odumchi:

^^^
In those areas Nigeria operates under the UN or the West African Union, what I mean is real Nigerian military presence.
There was a civil war in Chad for some time as the fighting from Sudan spilled into Sudan.

I guess IG of police sounds good too

odumchi:

^^^
Do not underestimate me. I am an expert on military issues and war but not neccessarily the inner workings of the Nigerian military. Second of all, Chad was funding a group of the rebels that were fighting in Sudan, and the two nations were at war for some time. WHta I meant was "as the fighting from Sudan spilled into Chad.". I am not looking to join the military I only asked a question. Secondly, there have been plenty of real wars in this decade: look at Georgia, Iraq, Afhanistan (the two previous arent conventional wars though).

I am in every position to judge my nations militarysince we are in a democracy.

The UN does not fight in wars, their troops are only there for peacekeeping and they never send any substantial number of troops into a warezone. The UN does not conduct any operations, their main goal is peacekeeping.

In the second quote, I was saying that IG of police sound slike a good occupation. In no way did i connect it to the Army. Infact im tired of cross examinations, please if you have no answers to my question or nothing useful, I'd prefer you reserve your comments.

@ Alj

I am a very good tactician and I might be willing to persue a career in the Nigerian Army, but I do not know any majors, colonells, generals, or commanders. Is there hope?

Rhino.5dm:

you are just a pathetic eddiot to delibrately left Yakubu Gowan that kill 2 million Igbos in his civil war.
What more do you have to say about OBJ? Ishaya Bamaiyi, Musa Bamaiyi, General Aguiyi Ironsi(retarrded). . .Ethnic Bigot!

Rhino.5dm:

^Thanks. Those guys are all rogues and i think they should all be demonize.

NOTE: I despise IBB and ABACHA  with everything i have but leaving OUT OBJ makes a mockery of the point you are trying to make. Yakubu Gowon & TY Danjuma are sets of beast. Carry GO!

So Buhari and IBB are common denominators of a ruthless streak to stardom . . . Nice lectures S.O.G

What do you know about the military, you this Daddy llttle's baby? For your info there is nothing like 'GOODLUCK' in the army. Every moves must be calculated and there  is no room for dummies shouting 'goof-LUCK' where ever they go. Fill a military recruitment form, I dare YOU! 

You are sounding incoherent son . . .your desires to always sound tough is indeed amusing . . stop playing your "I was in the army" cheap line  . . Your god, Buhari is a mean animal whether you like it or not . . No apologies . . . i did rather have a clueless and docile Goodluck in your dictionary than your preferred mean [/b]calculated blood thirsty beast with absolute no brains whatsoever called Buhari . .

[b]Deploying of strategies is not an exclusively preserve for the Military . . .It runs in all facets of life . . .So what's is all this hinging on calculated move all about . . My Grand Dad is a retired Colonel . . . My uncle is currently a wing commander in the Airforce, and i can proudly say one of the best in his class  . . .My younger Brother just enrolled into NDA  . .So i must be in the military to know about the military    . . .besides, joining the crew was not far fetched as an option . . . but they know i have a phobia for the strict regimented military tradition . . . am a rebel naturally . . .and my going there won't last cos orders would be flouted irrespective of consequences .  . So take your dare to your filthy coupist Northern dogs . . . who put us in this current mess we have found ourselves in . .

buzugee: there are special cases. according to my family friend, it is very impt to have a GODFATHER. thats what he calls them. his rise to the top was very swift and meteoric. if you see him today, he still has a youthfull baby face and he is a brigadier general. it happens to some people. believe me this is someone who i know personally. his oyinbo mum (ok not quite oyinbo ) will bake guinness cake and take it to all the generals in NDA when dude was a student at NDA. everybody loved him there. they all wanted to be his godfather. if you see the guy today ? he has a home in miami. he travels to america and london regularly. if i drop his name some of you may know him sef.

ibraheemtolu: Greetings to all the military men/women in here and noble civilians...

I have series of questions bugging my mind which i need people with genuine answers to please enlighten me.

1. Can i join the Nigerian Navy with a foreign degree? UK Bsc Information Technology, is there room for computer programmers/Analyst in the Navy.
2. Must i have a Nysc dispatch letter to enroll in the Navy.
3. Is it possible to do other personal duties aside from military work? Maybe 2-3hours a day
4. I heard there is always battle of superiority and segregation among regular officers and Dssc officers, ow true is that?
5. Are there special bonus and incentives that regular officers benefit from, that the Dssc don't benefit from?
6. What is the highest rank that a dssc officer can attain his entire navy service and how many years will it take?
7. I heard there is a rank you will attain in the Navy and you will still be entitled to your military guards and so on,what rank is that?
8. And lastly, Is it possible to migrate from a dssc officer to regular officer if u so desire a combat career?

I have always had the dream of wearing white-white right from secondary school, it became a passion, now its like an obsession. attempted Regular combatant cadet enrollment but wasn't successful so i pursued a university degree oversees, and willing to get back where my hearth belongs, which is the Nigerian Navy.

I need help on this,
Thanks In anticipation.

mendax:

@odumchi, what does the boldened phrase mean? and BTW no country jumps into another just like that. You are here on Nairaland seeking to join the military, which means u dont know much about it. I dont think you are in the right position to judge the experience of Nigerian senior military officers. Have u heard of War College? Granted that they may not have much experience like US, UK military officers, but where have u seen real wars going on, with troops actually participating these days? Most places u see foreign troops now are UN operations, and the troops are carrying out some form of peace mission.




What do u mean by the above? That the IG is from the north? Anyways, the police is not part of the Armed forces, thats why they are called CIVIL police!!
