  • The Boot Rag

    By Similola Diya NMS/78

    Shinning Parade was a parade in assessing your readiness for the coming week. Your green will be seriously inspected, your belts will undergo serious inspection and in truth if it’s a belt that utilises brazo, you definitely need a boot rag to enhance your garri.

  • A Rex Cinema Encounter in NMS

    By Jibrin Hassan 70 Set

    I have been a lover of Indian films since I was much younger before coming into the Nigerian Military School. Not outrageously far from the school is a cinema hall Rex Cinema in the Sabon Gari area of Zaria. During one of those happy periods in the school, which was after exams but before the holidays, I decided to do what I loved to do most within that period.

  • The Origin of the Provost Corps

    By Izaddin Chafe NMS/01

    The Provost Corps in NMS was born from a unique vision of RSM Yamusa Zakari Kumasi who wanted to create a corps within the Boys that would exhibit the highest level of regimentation, discipline, and doggedness. Their primary responsibilities were to be in charge and responsible for the maintenance of order and enforcement of discipline among the Boys.

  • The NMS Boy

    By Ibrahim Ishaya NMS/90

    To the NMS boy, his passing out day is a mixed day. He is happy that he is passing out, and he is sad that he is loosing something he does not know. But what else can he do? Everything that has a beginning must surely have and end.

    The five years we spent together saw us concentrating on our pursuit of excellence, we found each person to be a worthy asset to our achieving greatness. We learnt from one another, taught one another, helped one another to be on our feet. We grew up knowing that to be successful we needed to need each other and work together.

  • How I Lost My Lisp

    By Olawale Bakare 76 Set

    It was a good thing I did not see the brain-resetting slap coming or I might have dodged it. If I had dodged it, I probably would still be speaking with a prominent lisp up to this day and that would have seriously impacted my abilities to be the Trainer and Speaker that I am today

  • First day on the parade ground

    By Fodio Longman NMS/95

    The parade ground they say is the center of discipline. As a new recruit in the military, the parade ground is the venue where you are baptised out of your civilian life. We were assembled at the company’s assembly point ready to be matched to the parade ground for the day’s activity.

  • My first cross country rehearsal as a class one boy was greeted with so much enthusiasm, bated in the hope it would be an adventure of sightseeing the countryside and attracting the cheers of spectating indigents of communities through which our race would navigate or crisscross.

  • Escaping From NMS

    By Ahmed Mamudu NMS/83

    Every boy is constantly planning a grand and permanent escape from NMS, it flows and ebbs depending on the job you are in danger of facing and the final escape was on your POP day, but there will never be any escape from the many bitter-sweet memories that came with NMS.
