@Dark_Margwa

I have applied more than five times. I genuinely believe in my capability and zeal to serve in the Nigerian Army, but you never saw the potential in me to be shortlisted. Sadly, this has extinguished the passion I once had......

I like how the Nigerian military is tough these days.

Good job guys.

Nigeria's military now recruits every Eke market days, while NNPC recruits once in a blue moon

Tales of a failing nation where the military is solely reserved for the children of the poor whilst that of rich cruises abroad.

When is DSSC coming out

@emekanws

Forward ever to the strongest army in the world

@LugardKogi

You want to recruit young men and send them to the slaughter again? What has the Military done for the families of the hundreds of soldiers who died in the north fighting Boko Haram and Herdsmen? The Generals keep eating fat and sending the rank and file to their deaths.
