Reading this might make you wonder: Should I stop eating out, go vegetarian, or invest in an air fryer? You might even find yourself rushing home to tell your mom." Read “Is Our Cuisine Killing Us?” The Hidden Link Between Nigerian Food and Cancer“ by me on Medium: https://t.co/tpdDxrDZ7g
🧵NDA 78RC portal opens today.
Before you waste N7,000 and 5 years of your life, let me drop some hard truth nobody in uniform will tell you on open day:
(1) Starting pay as a newly commissioned 2nd Lieutenant? Less than ₦180k/month (after tax & deductions, you’ll see ~₦140-150k). Your cousin driving Bolt on weekends is clearing more. A corper in Lagos is almost making same with you.
(2) You’ll be posted to Sambisa or Zamfara forest with equipment from 1960. Bullet proof vest? You’ll share one per section. Your mates in tech are buying land in Epe, you’ll be praying the next ambush isn’t yours.
(3) 5 years of no girlfriend (they ban relationships in Kaduna), no beards, no phone for months, 4am drills, senior officers treating you like trash… Then you pass out and they post you to Maiduguri to go and be collecting ₦1,500 “welfare” while risking your life daily.
If you can push that same energy into tech, Canada/US visa, in 5 years you’ll be living the life these generals only dream of.
The military is a trap for brilliant poor boys.
Don’t let patriotism finish you while our politicians who you’re way smarter than live like kings.🗣️🙏
CSP Aniete Eyo, alias “Calabar,” gruesomely murdered 17-year-old Ifunanya Amadike in October 2018. Shockingly, he has yet to release the boy’s body to the family for a proper burial.
Aniete Eyo must pay for his crimes!
Retweet until he's arrested and brought to justice!
