The Nigerian Law School vs. The Nigerian Military School/ Defence Academy BY OKPO EWA

The toughest drill in life is not the one conducted by a commander, it’s the one you conduct on yourself without a commander.

you wake up as early as 4, 5, or 6 A.m to prepare for lectures, carry out exercises, you dress up as an executive and when you get to the lecture hall, you hide yourself all through from the microphone meanwhile, you spent all night preparing for the same microphone to avoid embarrassment.

The class daily is a lecture marathon of about a day’s quarter, At the close of the class, you still have the remnant of the day to absorb the day’s lecture and prepare for the next still!

you’re not sure you will eat what your stomach desires everyday with all the money you have; with all the textbooks you have, you still have to purchase as many materials as possible just to be sure you’re doing or reading and practicing the right thing.

The girls are more than smashing! The devil needs to enroll with them for classes on temptation. You can’t resist the beauties; the curves, the feminine grace, oh God! Everyday a brother drops dead in his urge... All you can do is look, appreciate and move on but if you must tango then you need style, capital, venue and good luck!

If you must indulge in chimney or brewery services then you must travel abroad also and if midnight greets while you’re away then you shall tarry away till the dawn of another day!

You’re sent out to the booby camp as an extern after which you’re subjected to a six-day exam-marathon and the assessors aren’t your friends either. At home, your tension level can replace that of Kanji Dam but if you survive it, you still have to suffer a dime for a call...
in the end; a whole fortune has been expended on time, resources and life; all with the consciousness that there isn’t any assurance for an automatic meal ticket!

You’re just a certified, dignified and glorified hustler!!!
If you ask me, not ten years of rigorous physical drilling in NMS /NDA would match the one year at the mental penitentiary of the NLS...
I have seen great soldiers flee in escape to sobribo or drop like ponies in Stanley meets mutesa.

The NMS/NDA tries to make you a superhuman but the NLS is strictly for upgrading super humans!
No superior or instructor to punish you, u just butte yourself not to be short of the mark, a warm up for life-å-ton!
