A set of 20 females, nicknamed Jonathan Queens, were first admitted into the course in Nigeria’s premier military officer training institution during the former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in 2011.
It was learnt that the recommendation to end the programme was made by the Armed Forces Council which was inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari last week.

Deletethis old man, what do you know?
ReplyDeleteThe women that applied have mind aha. They must be strong.. ..
ReplyDeleteI think they should be given a chance if they can handle it now
Witchhunt
ReplyDeleteWhat is all this?mutcheeewww
ReplyDeleteThis is discrimination at it's peak. That a certain religious view does not permit women to do anything, does not mean all Nigerian women have to be subject to that. If a woman is up to the task, why not? Mtcheeeeeeeeeeew...if Una like vote him back again so that he will surely finish what he has started.
ReplyDeleteDear annonymous, everything is not about religion. Do your findings before commenting. It said as regular cadets, No. but as short service Yes. How many female officers have you heard in operational grounds? They end up not posting them there because they are “females” so why train them for years wt our resources as regular combatants when they end up doing office work.
DeleteIt's not only about the training to do office work in the end. If you hear what these girls go through ehn! Sexual harassment from the seniors and who do you report to?It's a hierarchy and God help you before it gets to the appropriate authority for action, it passes through someone close to the person harassing you and it is swept under the carpet. You must submit if you dont want your life to become a living hell. A girl was sent out for falling pregnant. She wasn't impregnated by a ghost. It's better that way. Sure there's harassment everywhere, a graduate can handle it better. It's a combination of factors I'm sure.
DeleteThank you kiks. Sometimes we need to be objective and keep religion and tribe aside. I heard that cadet was impregnated by a Lt.colonel. Last last dey would train them for 5yrs and they’d be posted as catering officer.
DeleteTeetee you reeks of ignorance. This branch of military has never been open to women before in Nigeria. That's the reason we never had women army head. The few that were admitted in 2011, one came out tops beating all the men and has won a position to be trained in the US.
DeleteThey can still apply as dssc cadets but not regular cadets, bcoz most female officers can't be posted to NE, that's y it was stopped
ReplyDeleteDiscrimination of the highest proportion.....yes, I'm shouting.....
ReplyDeleteIs it all male officers they post to northeast? They have different specialty in the armed forces. Catering is a specialty and there are male catering officers. They can still train as regular officers and function in different specialties.
