Former spokesman of the Defence Headquarters, Gen. John Agim Agim (rtd) has revealed that they expect 15-25% of successful applicants in each recruitment to die during training.

Gen. Agim stated that the expectation of death in training is why applicants sign a bond of being responsible for their decision when filling a form for the Nigerian Defence Academy.

“The military training we get already takes care of whatever situation we find ourselves.

In training, we are taught how to survive in whichever situation we find ourselves. Even if we are captured by the enemy, we know how to survive so we don’t die as a prisoner of war.

So by the time we go for the real operations, to us it usually looks like a rehearsal because we have already seen the worst during trainings.

I urge Nollywood filmmakers to try and see ways of how they can produce a few of our drills so that the public can know some of the things that we go through.

I can assure you that we have a robust training that when you come out of it alive, you know that it is not you but God. You can go for several days without food.

And for each of our recruitments, there is a percentage expected to die during training. And that could be as much as between 15 and 25%.

That alone shows you that it is no play zone or a boys scout lifestyle. That is why when filling a form to the Nigerian Defence Academy, you sign a bond that you are responsible for your decision” he told The Nation.

  6. In these days of austerity plus relative stress about having debt, a lot of people balk contrary to the idea of having a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise as well as pay for a vacation, preferring, instead just to rely on the actual tried as well as trusted technique of making transaction – cash. However, if you have the cash there to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, that is the best time for them to use the credit card for several reasons.
