Humour
struck as corps members residing in Mokola Barracks were asked to participate
in compulsory exercise every morning before going to their various places of
primary assignment. The recent development is an idea brought up by the Commandant General
as a means of keeping corps members fit in the discharge of their civic duties
to their father land.
Speaking
with an officer who pleaded anonymity, he commented that the idea of the early
morning exercise is to ensure that corps members don’t fall sick or grow lazy
as the exercises will help them to keep fit and avoid visiting the hospital
throughout the service year.
In an
interview with some corps members residing in the barracks, they gave their
views on the compulsory morning exercise. Segun, a Batch B corps member, said the idea is okay for him,
but those who cannot handle it should not be compelled to partake. Tope, a Batch C corps member, also
expressed the view that the compulsory exercise is a welcome development as
exercise makes people smarter. Damola, a Batch A corps member, on the other
hand was not pleased with the new rule. “I’m not the exercise type and would have
preferred we do it on our own, without force”, he said.
Corps
members who do not comply with the rule would be required to move out from the
block and allow the law-abiding ones to enjoy their stay without stress.
