Some cadets of the Nigerian Defence Academy caused gridlock on an expressway and insulted motorists in a video trending on social media.

It is not clear where the incident happened, but in the video shared by The Herald, the cadet who did the recording could be heard raining invective on the motorists.

“They cannot do anything. Their father. They cannot do anything. They can only wait… where is she, where is she? Something, something, something like that. Mu je (let’s go). Who is that bastard honking, are you a bastard? Your father,” he said.

Below is the video.

This is what happen when you put in the wrong kids in an academy they don't understand.

This is what happens when you give a man POWER but refuse to teach him the RESPONSIBILITY that come with it.

Power without the act of responsibility is force without direction

I hope the Nigerian army calls these guys in for serious disciplinary action. Our soldiers are well trained officers not some recalcitrant kids showing power on the highway by constituting a nuisance. The cadets of today will become officers tomorrow

They should be court martialed!

This is soo wrong……they should be arrested for constituting public nuisance, obstruction and violation of traffic law. And these are supposed to be future generals. Las las NDA is ofe.

This is one of the reasons why @HQNigerianArmy is scarcely loved by civilians. When you recruit and graduate mannerless disrespectful force members who supposed to be epitome of what patrotism should be. But the reverse is the case.
