To counter double registrations

why are they demanding for BVN before registration?

Mayor555:


Anyone can check you male or female doctor. A brother was checked by a female doctor last screening... SSC



Obviously, You've not gone for the screening before.

Yes I've not but from my findings, yes sometimes female officers check male applicants but I've never heard of male officers checking female applicants. Things might have changed though

My DSSC 24 experience in 20BN Serti Baruwa Taraba State.
The journey from KD to Taraba was a 2 days journey, 16 hours from KD to jalingo and 3 hours from jalingo to serti ( i hear am no b small). Arrived 20BN serti very early in the morning, was signed in at the gate and was welcomed quite hospitably, i know say na formalities sha. Some candidates were already checked in and were seated on d floor @ parade ground already (this was to be our daily routine). We were to sign in at anoda spot inside were we were issued our mattresses and some 'yaro boys' were to help us carry them and show us to our hostels. Quickly changed into my salala, carrried my file and doubled up to d parade ground, i was d second pesin from my state (Osun), d first pesin was automatically d state leader, chest numbers were scattered on d floor, I picked OS11.
D main activity kicked of d following day, we were addressed by d board secretary Lt Colonel AU Abdul, board chairman Colonel DM Oyekola, d chetah of 20BN LT Colonel MS Adamu and Board president Maj Gen AB Omozoje, we started with certificate verification, this was done in the cheetah hall, were all ur credentials were vetted and any discrepancy found meant u'll be in d next available car to ur village and this was when d 1st set of casualties occured, Naso men begin drop o, e no funny @ all, i particularly felt sorry for one of my village men, bros resumed late on friday evening, didn't come with his ECG, went along with odas who didn't come with theirs to jalingo to do it on Sunday (this was cordinated by WO Faleye, lol, if u were in serti and u don't remember Faleye, u deserve sleep guard room), and bros was evicted on Monday morning.
Next was d 'almighty medicals', actually there nothing almighty about medicals until d day result was announced, stay tunned. Medicals was done in d MRS, CMD was Colonel Okoigi, i and my village men bought dis man's job, we pin head sotey hair no gree grow for dat part of our head again. One fair lieutenant was d guy in charge of proceeding. Medicals was divided into 4 segments:
1. Vitals: weight, height and BP: Brethren watch ur weight o and knw ur BMI (Body mass index). Some guys used BP suppresants and it was detected in their blood, so be wise.
2. Blood and Urine:This one is straightforward. My advice, drink a lot of water on dat day so ur urine can be clear.
3. Physicals: lol, u can see i'm laffing already. Shey u knw d way u use to be in d bathroom, ehen, naso u go de, naked and happy, lol. They'll check ur balls, check for pile, tatoos and body inscriptions, flat foots among others. I was checked by a female, she was just playing with my john thomas
4. Xrays
They latter did eye test after d above mentioned. Shortsigtedness, longsightedness and colour blindness.
Medicals lasted for five days. Whenever Major Bamiteko start shouting "is dat clear, is dat clear" upandan eh, just knw some candidates r about to be summourned by their village ppl. All d "big boys" gathered in d MRS, then Maj Gen Omozoje addressed the candidates, the atmosphere was worse than a burial, d silence was deafening, almost everybody in d MRS can out to witness d occassion. The board secretary took d mic and commenced, AB1 was d first casualty, brethren, more than half of d remaining candidates were dropped for one medical condition or d other, when ure called ur identity (chest number) is retrieved and u go in for counselling. I refused to pick my village people's call and 16 of us from my state were still standing after d medicals ( winch people, dem no gree go house, lol).
An exam was administered after d medicals along with a psychology test. The exam comprised of an essay "why i want to join the Nigerian army", this topic is almost always constant along with other objective questions, maths, english and current affairs. The psychology test was tricky, if u lie in d first question, be ready to lie till the end, so be wise.
We later reassemble on the parade ground were Major Bamiteko addressed us, i'm going to use verbatim here "all of u sitted here av been declared medically fit, which means i can deal with u to d fullest but i won't do that because tomorrow is going to be a life changing experience for you (interjection: d 3.2km race was slated for d next day), when ure running tomorrow, think of poverty, ure going to be running out of poverty, but when ure running and u begin to see white things please stop, or u see something like a coffin, please respect ursef (we all erupted into laughter). We retired for d day to prepare for d next day.
D next day wic was on a Saturday was a crazy day for I and my village men, because we ended our business in Serti on that very day. In d course of d medicals, we did a kind of "raffle draw" were numbers were written in papers and state leaders were asked to pick, d number he/she picks is d other in wic d interview was arranged, for example, we picked number 8, hence we were d eight state to be interviewed, that was y we did our interview on d very same day we ran. This idea was brought by d board chairman Colonel Oyekola.
At about 5am we were gathered @ d parade ground and briefed about d exercise. We marched outside d barracks were all cars were stopped and travellers became spectators. Naso we begin run o, we ran to a point and back into d barrack, we were given tags along d way so no short cut to heaven, a lady from Oyo was d "stallion" d gal run finish, sleep wake up me i still de run, lol, i heard she didn't make it d list though. Your's truly landed in 4th cage Aka i cannot coman die cage, lol. We were graded 1st cage 10 points, 2nd cage 8 points, 3rd cage 6points, 4th cage 4points and 5th cage 2points. Next was push ups and sit ups, already tired and exhausted but na we say we wan join army na, oya double up, lol. Come see different styles and forms of push ups and sit ups, i laff tire. After dat was obstacle crossing, actually na only one obstacle o, we climb one long rope like that to touch d metal bar, i couldn't do it o, aswear @ that point, my life battery was @ 1%, i just jejely go siddown, afterall dem no de beat pesin.
States with number number 1-10 were told to goan prepare for d interview dat afternoon/ evening. I was like kuku kill us na, then i remember say army job na mad man job, i reset sharply. D board chairman had already told us he doesn't want to see any form of hair on our head or face, though i had reduced d forest on my head b4 heading off to serti but some shrubs had started growing again. D fear of an officer's threat is d beginning of wisdom, i located d barber's shop and met a crowd, chai, see those yeye soldiers gladly reshaping our heads into rocks, all of us con resemble each other, lol. After d cut, went to d hostel, had my bath and wore a new set of everything: white shirt, singlet and shoe and blue short and evn boxers sef and set out to d conference room. I didn't have my interview until past 10pm, it was a friendly one, one Colonel was asking me about football, in my mind i was like " this one no knw me sha" lol, 2 field related questions, i got one and banged d other. D board president asked y i didn't apply SSC due to my young age, i had already envisaged this so my answer was a well rehearsed pitch, so he asked that if i was offered SSC instead of DSSC will i take it, my answer was yes o, all die na die, d next guy was about to ask a question, naso nepa carry light, lol, naso dem say mk i carry my wahala go o. D next morning i packed my kaya, signed out and left my beloved Serti.
2 weeks later, list was out and i couldn't find my name, for d 1st time in a long while i cried, i was so close to achieving my dream, so close to my eureka moment, but it just wasn't meant to be. Now, form is out and we go again.

So so hilarious esp (where u guys resemble each oda ...I so much enjoyed reading this.
Its just unfortunate you couldn't make the list..maybe this year is yours....meanwhile,how many days did u stay throughout the camping before you await the final selection

Ltkwemzie:
My experience from last recruitment screening exercise (SSC)
1. Zero your mind because e no b any ordinary recruitment screening. You'll seat on gravel for 6hrs atlst daily
2. Respect de Cadets when de come because dem must show face.
3. Keep spare white and blue for interview (white canvas too)
4. Never be late for food.
5. Read current affairs and your course of study for test and interview.
6. Embrace the weather.
7. Make sure u can do atlst 30 pushups.
8. Don't let someone from your state bring u down... He's ur brother, yes, but remember he's also ur competitor.


Wish u all the best. We go again dis yr.

If you are being trianed for going to war fronts, I don't think certificates should be relevant. In fact reading of current affairs and the likes should not prioritized.

Please for the reference form, must the military personnel be from my state or any officer not below the rank of lieutenant colonel?

Also the attestation of local government area of origin. can I use the local government chairman of where I stay in Lagos or must he be from my state of origin?

Kindly enlighten me

We don't need dull brain in the army and mind u short service is meant for the bright ones to handle the nation's warfare and maintaining peace

That's why till today Nigerian army have not been able to completely defeat the boko harams. Those at the war fronts have the brains you just talked about but not the mind. Thugs, diehard criminals are everywhere not caring if tomorrow will come. They should be enlisted into the Nigerian army and given further training. By that time we will be able to surmount the insurgents of the boko harams. People that will make the list will be brainiacs, who do not even have an iota of strength for battle. Mind you, having a huge physique does not make you qualified for battle.

Ojebo:

funny..lol...d whole interview session took how many days bro??

D selection board spanned 2 weeks ( January 4th- 18th), though i only spent 8 days in Serti

My Man, Calm down, you can't be dull and be in the military, Lol strength physically alone can't win you shit if you not interectually sound, how would you lead...? you been trained to be a leader, you can't be dull.

Even with your strength if you not bright you would be defeated, Bros. just calm the military ain't looking for people without potentials, how would you even fare at interview within your peers or scale trough the board..? Where's the dignity in the force then.

You think the boko boys have strength that they can beat you on hand combat...? Lol boys that are on drugs that aren't that fit on hand to hand combat, they just tactically and instrumentally out number our troops at some point in time.

You need to be smart oh.

How could you be an officer and not know about what's going on in and out of the country that's Current Affairs, don't know how to speak or write English and do simple maths, how would you represent your country outside...?

As an SSC officer not all would be in Infantry, Amo, Artillery
some would be in Finance, Military Police, Intelligence, Signals and all how would you be in these arms without brilliance.

Thugs aren't needed in the army they train your mind body and soul the thug is in you as a gentleman officer but you a thug with educational background with lots of competence that's how you become a leader not one who would be a thug and cause havoc after having being in a position of power without proper orientation.

You self think about it why would we need thugs in our military would the country know peace...?

eniolaamos7:





If you are being trianed for going to war fronts, I don't think certificates should be relevant. In fact reading of current affairs and the likes should not prioritized.

Brother believe you me army is not for olodo o!! As an SSC officer you will go on courses sote your brain go one quench.. It is so competitive that you spend to much time on a rank for one reason or the other they will retire you. Many officers you see retiring at the rank of lieutenant and Captain may have failed one course or the other and overstayed their time on a particular rank.
DSSC officers too are not spared there promotion is automatic every 5yrs on like SSC that must pass various courses, but the DSSC guys too have to read hard in other to successfully pass their exams for conversion to direct regular which they have 3 attempts at. If they fail to convert probably will retire at Lt. Col. Infact you must have a good PR before they even promote you sef, when you enter all those professional certification in your course of study they will pester your life to go and get them e.g ICAN/ACCA for accountants, COREN for engineers etc, if you no sabi book how you wan take get all this certification?
In summary modern warfare is all about tact, strategy and deployment of modern technology we have pass the era of brute force, in the Russian army, before you get to the rank of a Colonel you must be an expert in the game of chess almost to the level of a grand master.
There is a popular saying in the military which goes thus Officers are the brain of the army while Soldiers are the backbone .
You have to keep up with the pace academically or they bundle you out.

The journey from KD to Taraba was a 2 days journey, 16 hours from KD to jalingo and 3 hours from jalingo to serti ( i hear am no b small). Arrived 20BN serti very early in the morning, was signed in at the gate and was welcomed quite hospitably, i know say na formalities sha. Some candidates were already checked in and were seated on d floor @ parade ground already (this was to be our daily routine). We were to sign in at anoda spot inside were we were issued our mattresses and some 'yaro boys' were to help us carry them and show us to our hostels. Quickly changed into my salala, carrried my file and doubled up to d parade ground, i was d second pesin from my state (Osun), d first pesin was automatically d state leader, chest numbers were scattered on d floor, I picked OS11.
D main activity kicked of d following day, we were addressed by d board secretary Lt Colonel AU Abdul, board chairman Colonel DM Oyekola, d chetah of 20BN LT Colonel MS Adamu and Board president Maj Gen AB Omozoje, we started with certificate verification, this was done in the cheetah hall, were all ur credentials were vetted and any discrepancy found meant u'll be in d next available car to ur village and this was when d 1st set of casualties occured, Naso men begin drop o, e no funny @ all, i particularly felt sorry for one of my village men, bros resumed late on friday evening, didn't come with his ECG, went along with odas who didn't come with theirs to jalingo to do it on Sunday (this was cordinated by WO Faleye, lol, if u were in serti and u don't remember Faleye, u deserve sleep guard room), and bros was evicted on Monday morning.
Next was d 'almighty medicals', actually there nothing almighty about medicals until d day result was announced, stay tunned. Medicals was done in d MRS, CMD was Colonel Okoigi, i and my village men bought dis man's job, we pin head sotey hair no gree grow for dat part of our head again. One fair lieutenant was d guy in charge of proceeding. Medicals was divided into 4 segments:
1. Vitals: weight, height and BP: Brethren watch ur weight o and knw ur BMI (Body mass index). Some guys used BP suppresants and it was detected in their blood, so be wise.
2. Blood and Urine:This one is straightforward. My advice, drink a lot of water on dat day so ur urine can be clear.
3. Physicals: lol, u can see i'm laffing already. Shey u knw d way u use to be in d bathroom, ehen, naso u go de, naked and happy, lol. They'll check ur balls, check for pile, tatoos and body inscriptions, flat foots among others. I was checked by a female, she was just playing with my john thomas
4. Xrays
They latter did eye test after d above mentioned. Shortsigtedness, longsightedness and colour blindness.
Medicals lasted for five days. Whenever Major Bamiteko start shouting "is dat clear, is dat clear" upandan eh, just knw some candidates r about to be summourned by their village ppl. All d "big boys" gathered in d MRS, then Maj Gen Omozoje addressed the candidates, the atmosphere was worse than a burial, d silence was deafening, almost everybody in d MRS can out to witness d occassion. The board secretary took d mic and commenced, AB1 was d first casualty, brethren, more than half of d remaining candidates were dropped for one medical condition or d other, when ure called ur identity (chest number) is retrieved and u go in for counselling. I refused to pick my village people's call and 16 of us from my state were still standing after d medicals ( winch people, dem no gree go house, lol).
An exam was administered after d medicals along with a psychology test. The exam comprised of an essay "why i want to join the Nigerian army", this topic is almost always constant along with other objective questions, maths, english and current affairs. The psychology test was tricky, if u lie in d first question, be ready to lie till the end, so be wise.
We later reassemble on the parade ground were Major Bamiteko addressed us, i'm going to use verbatim here "all of u sitted here av been declared medic
2 weeks later, list was out and i couldn't find my name, for d 1st time in a long while i cried, i was so close to achieving my dream, so close to my eureka moment, but it just wasn't meant to be. Now, form is out and we go again.
PS: pardon any typo errors, biko na phone i de use type. Just felt i like doing this for posterity sake.

@ugo4u and others.

What's the BMI range for ARMY...(minimum to maximum)

Biko, kindly respond asap...make boys begin dey cut weight with cutlass

ugo4u:

Brother believe you me army is not for olodo o!! As an SSC officer you will go on courses sote your brain go one quench.. It is so competitive that you spend to much time on a rank for one reason or the other they will retire you. Many officers you see retiring at the rank of lieutenant and Captain may have failed one course or the other and overstayed their time on a particular rank.
DSSC officers too are not spared there promotion is automatic every 5yrs on like SSC that must pass various courses, but the DSSC guys too have to read hard in other to successfully pass their exams for conversion to direct regular which they have 3 attempts at. If they fail to convert probably will retire at Lt. Col. Infact you must have a good PR before they even promote you sef, when you enter all those professional certification in your course of study they will pester your life to go and get them e.g ICAN/ACCA for accountants, COREN for engineers etc, if you no sabi book how you wan take get all this certification?
In summary modern warfare is all about tact, strategy and deployment of modern technology we have pass the era of brute force, in the Russian army, before you get to the rank of a Colonel you must be an expert in the game of chess almost to the level of a grand master.
There is a popular saying in the military which goes thus Officers are the brain of the army while Soldiers are the backbone .
You have to keep up with the pace academically or they bundle you out.

At least you guys responded with civility despite his nauseating ignorance.

Bakar1:

My Man, Calm down, you can't be dull and be in the military, Lol strength physically alone can't win you shit if you not interectually sound, how would you lead...? you been trained to be a leader, you can't be dull.

Even with your strength if you not bright you would be defeated, Bros. just calm the military ain't looking for people without potentials, how would you even fare at interview within your peers or scale trough the board..? Where's the dignity in the force then.

Thank u very much for the breakdown
You think the boko boys have strength that they can beat you on hand combat...? Lol boys that are on drugs that aren't that fit on hand to hand combat, they just tactically and instrumentally out number our troops at some point in time.

You need to be smart oh.

How could you be an officer and not know about what's going on in and out of the country that's Current Affairs, don't know how to speak or write English and do simple maths, how would you represent your country outside...?

As an SSC officer not all would be in Infantry, Amo, Artillery
some would be in Finance, Military Police, Intelligence, Signals and all how would you be in these arms without brilliance.

Thugs aren't needed in the army they train your mind body and soul the thug is in you as a gentleman officer but you a thug with educational background with lots of competence that's how you become a leader not one who would be a thug and cause havoc after having being in a position of power without proper orientation.

You self think about it why would we need thugs in our military would the country know peace...?

Thank you very much for the clarification. Been an Officer is a measure of intelligence.

The psychology test was tricky, if u lie in d first question, be ready to lie till the end, so be wise.
We later reassemble on the parade ground were Major Bamiteko addressed us, i'm going to use verbatim here "all of u sitted here av been declared medically fit, which means i can deal with u to d fullest but i won't do that because tomorrow is going to be a life changing experience for you (interjection: d 3.2km race was slated for d next day), when ure running tomorrow, think of poverty, ure going to be running out of poverty, but when ure running and u begin to see white things please stop, or u see something like a coffin, please respect ursef (we all erupted into laughter). We retired for d day to prepare for d next day.
D next day wic was on a Saturday was a crazy day for I and my village men, because we ended our business in Serti on that very day. In d course of d medicals, we did a kind of "raffle draw" were numbers were written in papers and state leaders were asked to pick, d number he/she picks is d other in wic d interview was arranged, for example, we picked number 8, hence we were d eight state to be interviewed, that was y we did our interview on d very same day we ran. This idea was brought by d board chairman Colonel Oyekola.
At about 5am we were gathered @ d parade ground and briefed about d exercise. We marched outside d barracks were all cars were stopped and travellers became spectators. Naso we begin run o, we ran to a point and back into d barrack, we were given tags along d way so no short cut to heaven, a lady from Oyo was d "stallion" d gal run finish, sleep wake up me i still de run, lol, i heard she didn't make it d list though. Your's truly landed in 4th cage Aka i cannot coman die cage, lol. We were graded 1st cage 10 points, 2nd cage 8 points, 3rd cage 6points, 4th cage 4points and 5th cage 2points. Next was push ups and sit ups, already tired and exhausted but na we say we wan join army na, oya double up, lol. Come see different styles and forms of push ups and sit ups, i laff tire. After dat was obstacle crossing, actually na only one obstacle o, we climb one long rope like that to touch d metal bar, i couldn't do it o, aswear @ that point, my life battery was @ 1%, i just jejely go siddown, afterall dem no de beat pesin.
States with number number 1-10 were told to goan prepare for d interview dat afternoon/ evening. I was like kuku kill us na, then i remember say army job na mad man job, i reset sharply. D board chairman had already told us he doesn't want to see any form of hair on our head or face, though i had reduced d forest on my head b4 heading off to serti but some shrubs had started growing again. D fear of an officer's threat is d beginning of wisdom, i located d barber's shop and met a crowd, chai, see those yeye soldiers gladly reshaping our heads into rocks, all of us con resemble each other, lol. After d cut, went to d hostel, had my bath and wore a new set of everything: white shirt, singlet and shoe and blue short and evn boxers sef and set out to d conference room. I didn't have my interview until past 10pm, it was a friendly one, one Colonel was asking me about football, in my mind i was like " this one no knw me sha" lol, 2 field related questions, i got one and banged d other. D board president asked y i didn't apply SSC due to my young age, i had already envisaged this so my answer was a well rehearsed pitch, so he asked that if i was offered SSC instead of DSSC will i take it, my answer was yes o, all die na die, d next guy was about to ask a question, naso nepa carry light, lol, naso dem say mk i carry my wahala go o. D next morning i packed my kaya, signed out and left my beloved Serti.
2 weeks later, list was out and i couldn't find my name, for d 1st time in a long while i cried, i was so close to achieving my dream, so close to my eureka moment, but it just wasn't meant to be. Now, form is out and we go again.
