NDA Nigeria defence Academy is not a place to get into if you don't have any influence,my name is Abubakar Sherif i sat for NDA exam 4 good times and i was never given any hope for Admission i was declined and with the level of my intelligence i knew very well that i passed the exam but how they manipulated things it really surprise me,i further took another form on the following year but still the same thing and on the third time i was searching on the internet when i saw a mans post on that this man can help people get into NDA i called the number but i won't mention his name here but God will punish him where ever he is for duping me he collected money from me several times and all the money he collected from me was close to 140,000 i had to try the next year when i finally got the admission through Colonel David Ibrahim he just helped me then after which when i was admitted i went to pay him fully for the job well done and my father bought him a Ram that was all.So my dare if you have some one that is telling you bring money today, bring tomorrow and you keep paying for nothing you have seen then i pity you because such person is not Genuine and you will realized you have been duped at the end.So i advice if you seek for genuine person call Colonel David Ibrahim (08142748182) and you will see what it means to meet with real person at the end of every thing.I already directed three persons to him this year.
