The former Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has suggested that every Nigerian should undergo military training, according to his recent appearance on the African Leadership Podcast. Musa argued that the physical and mental challenges of military training, such as hunger, exhaustion, and lack of sleep, provide individuals with a unique perspective on life and the responsibilities of protecting the nation.
He believed that such training would enable Nigerians to appreciate the sacrifices made by the Armed Forces and gain a deeper understanding of the hardships endured by soldiers. Musa emphasized that the experience of military training would instill a sense of endurance, resilience, and selflessness in citizens, much like the dedication of those who risk their lives to safeguard the country.
He criticized those who insult the military and dismiss its importance, arguing that understanding the true value of the Armed Forces is crucial for maintaining national security and unity.
