The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has urged all Nigerians to learn combat skills to protect themselves in the face of danger.
Giving this advice when he appeared as a guest on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television, General Musa likened the acquisition of combat skills to driving, swimming, and other essential survival skills.
Whenprobed whether he would advise Nigerians to learn combat skills for self-defence, General Musa said, “That one should be taken as learning driving, learning how to swim. Whether we have war or not, it is a survival instinct.
“In Europe, swimming is compulsory; [so is] Learning and teaching about security because you have to learn what security is.”
The CDS said the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, should train Nigerian graduates in unarmed combat skills for day-to-day survival against dark-hearted men.
