Nigerian Defence Academy Kaduna has passed out a whooping 823 cadets, thanks to nepotism and corruption!

Over the years the Academy has been used by political, military and influential persons as nothing more than an employment facility for their relatives and friends, this increases the number of personnel required by the services and foreign entities significantly at the cost of the national budget.

Because the military services require far less than the NDA recruits, officers end up serving in troop and staff positions far below their rank and become nothing more than unwanted employees in Service. The Nigerian military is so overwhelmed by officer numbers that many serve in junior and laughable positions created for the sole purpose of accommodating the ridiculous numbers.

Nigerian military officers and generals are so low in statue these days that when foreign officers as low as Majors and Colonels visit Nigeria their counterparts are usually Generals due to disparity in rank and appointments.

A small military like Nigeria's ends up yearly with more officers and generals than it needs thanks to a backward course mate promotion exercise that is not based on merit but rather a course elevation structure - not surprising to find useless Generals with meaningless roles who increase the cost of salary and pensions

NDA is rife with flamboyant displays of horse rides, flower ladies, hanger ons and mediocre employees for the sole purpose of mismanagement of budget allocations.

It's likely regular and short service cadet held the passing out parade together

That you see nepotism in every situation sums up the kinda person you are. A Victim of all circumstances

800 officers in one year? That is quite high

It shouldn't even be up to 200

BURAHI STARTED IT,,,,,

Toh

Thats a summary of the story of mismanagement in Africa. We do what gives us money personally on the shortest possible notice and maintain the structure that preserves the inflow of that money on a long run.

Everybody can be a boss

Na so
