Yes! ,my father said with a nod ,Afaka new site (training ground ) was built by obansanjo ,just few years ago ,due to the fact that cadets were abusing drugs ,even cofflin meant for cough were abused ,so they had to change them from the old site to the new site ,so they Dont sell in here ?? I asked puzzled ,yes ,they Dont ,it an offense ,theirs neither school church or mosque ,here is strictly training and nothing else ,My dad said then stop the call,this where I stay he said to me while he remove the key from the wheel ,mehn see house ,I didn't know Nigeria had such regards for their troops ,so every thing have been reading in the media were false ,especially on nairaland.com ,the house in question was a 4 bedroom flat ,actually built like a VIP louge ,it's painted milk white ,and has this kind of extra ordinary flowers every corner ,With a little short wooden gate surrounding it with an open entrants . I looked at my time it was 1am ,I was already feeling sleepy but I managed to carry my luggage from the back sit ,mehn this car don serve oo ,since when I and my elder sister were little na ein him buy this car,the car is a Toyota Carena 2,painted dark red ,though he has two other cars ,Honda accord and Honda civic ,with two jeeps they raley use ,Honda piliot and toyotal sequel, among the cars na this Toyota Carena him like pass . I waited at the entrants ,waiting for my dad to lead the way ,go in ,he said ,but daddy the door is lock na ,oh ,yeah ,take the card ,he said dipping his hand to his back side pocket then hand me his army ID card ,I just look dumb founded ,as if he knew ,"place the card front of the door lock "he said while pressing his phone ,I put the card front of the door lock ,a green light pop up sliding up and down the lock ,then suddenly stopped,I heard some thing like "cacck" I took the door handle and made my way in ,mehn which kin wahala be this ?? I said to my self as I got to the corridor of the house ,another door stood front of me ,unlike the first this has a keypad ,Just then my father entered ,step aside he said ,then he typed some numbers and press enter ,the door opened by it self ,gimme the card he said ,I gave it to him while I state around the well furnished palour ,I Dont remember my dad carrying any thing when we left Lagos ooo ,this LCD TV no be my pa buy m oo ,I just dey reason . Immediately he showed me where I could sleep I took off my shoes and jacket ,this ac na wa oo ,upon say cold dey Kaduna ,I pulled the plug from the wall socket ,then pull my trouser ,climb the big bed ,mehn see bed as e soft as bread ,with just my boxer and singlet I reached for my trouser laying on the floor,the brought out my phone ,saw 11 missed calls ,5 from oluchi ,6 from eddy ,who I wan call back now?? So I just kuku drop the phone after I had off my data ,immediately doze off. I kept hearing noise ,disturbing my sleep ,which kin thing be this ,my father people follow me reach here Ni ,the shouts were becoming louder ,"jejeje we dey go ooo jeje we dey go ooo jeje" they kept shouting ,wait I know that song ,e fit be cadets oo ,I wan start up for my spirit dey say no try m , "mama no dey ooo ,papa no dey ooo ,if you wantu killy me kill me make I die ,I will never run away from this training " The kept singing sounds ,I just remember how me and my elder sister would wake up as early as 5am back then in jos ,despite the cold that will be doing like say na north pole e dey ,just to watch soldiers jogged , we don't actually go out from our block ,we just stood out our back yard good thing we were in third floor so we see things clearly ,the soldiers under the cold weather that me and my sister we wear 2 thick jackets ,wrap our necks with thick scarf ,wear gloves and thick trousers ,with socks and still felt cold ,were wearing only their military customize singlet ,and khaki trousers and boots ,jogging in the lonely roads of rukuba barrack (maxwell cobe cantonment ,Jo's ) all thanks to the street light that makes us see exactly what they were doing ,sometimes heap of smoke-like thing fills the air when the jog ,mehn the good old days I thought inside of me . "Mama chinedu ,ehh ehh ,where your pikin dey oooo ,pikin way go academy ,abeg pray for him oo ,cause no going back ,ones e don join e no fit comot" I hear another one ,kai this one na new one ,I never hear m before ,just then I heard noise coming from the plaour ,who be this this early mor mor ,ah got up leaving my thick blanket and soft bed ,thunder fire devil I muster as I felt the coldness of the ground ,I wish say I bring my Pam ,I just dey wish ,I open my bag and brought out a Sander ,I wore it hurriedly ,immediately felt the warmth of the Sander ,my teeth were clashing violently ,the cold wasn't smiling at all ,I wore a short nicka and my jacket then made the way to the parlour . Mehn this is so unexpected I said to my self as I got in the parlour ,come here ,a boy on camou said as I was about going back inside ,I was like you mean me?? He gave me a nod ,which kin thing be this ??

At around 7am I went for jogging ,as I was jogging I saw many young people jogging too ,we jogged through the troops in the streets ,we greeted em ,while they greeted us back ,then someone shouted "one Nigeria ",the troops cheers,along side with the joggers ,me I was just on alert ,eyes was every where ,they started singing "jeje,jeje ,we dey go oh !,jeje,we dey go oh ,jeje". We kept jogging ,I come notice say the boys no dey taya ,with the way em dey behave my mind tell me say em be soldiers ,na so I find my levels ,at first ah think say na only me notice am,we don jog for two hours now ,all my shirt from my neck to waist don soak scatter . It 9am already ,day don bright ,na so I just codedly stop do as if I wan tire my canvas lance ,then sit down may all of em pass finish ,cars were now passing ,na so I waka back dey go house ,I weak ehh ,I just dey wish may I reach house already. When I got to my dad's flat I rang the door bell by pressing the button, my dad came after a min and open the doors He was already on his military camou Me: good morning daddy (I said shutting the door behind me) Daddy:where did u go before ?(he asked with less concern while he continue tiring his desert army boot Lance) Me:I went jogging (I said taking off my wet shirt ) Daddy:okay ,next time tell me before u go ,Ka'nachiko?(understand? (Hausa)) (While standing up,then adjusted his desert camou hat) Me:yes sir (I looked at him,mehn some day this will be me,I said in my mind while admiring his desert camouflage uniform with three stars glue to his chest (captain ))but daddy why you wearing camou today na (I asked confused) Daddy: we are having out door drill today ,and as well shooting targets practice ,other words known As out door shooting range (he said then looked at me with a look have known since I was little) Me ![]() Daddy:you'll need a hair cut (he said then walked out on me ) Me ![]() ![]() 2weeks to go,I got transfer to a former NDA site (old site ) where I stayed while I came for my screenings . In the old site we trained, jogged,hydrate ,dehydrate It just went in circles till the day of physical screening ,27km run. I was out there in the road they had kept us ,I was feeling dizzy ,I slept all I wanted last night but still feeling dizzing ,maybe my village people did night vigil ontop my matter ,I look around ,over 300 hundred "yet to be cadets" all out in the road My white shirt was already feeling like it was cuddling with the sun ,isn't white suppose to prevent radiation? (I thought ,cause my physic teacher back then in CDSS Abj once taught us some thing like that ) My short blue trouser wasn't impressing at all,who selected this as running dress sef? May thunder strike am there ,my canvas was light as hell ,as if I had nothing on ,my foot was already hot, ah don even taya of standing ,but dare not sitdown,this sun way no get joy Bang!!!(big bang) that's the order to take off I guessed ,was about taking off when I realized every one already did ,I just follow em for back . 1 Like 1 Share |
