"As our motto states, ‘Building the Man, Building the Community,’ Man O’ War is not just about physical strength; it is about character, resilience, and a commitment to serve. Our primary duty on this campus is to ensure maximum security and maintain peace among students. The training will include various exercises like rope climbing and endurance drills to instill discipline and physical fitness. I advise all recruits to listen to their commanders, abide by the rules and regulations of the camp, and stay committed to their academics. You cannot be a Man O’ War member and still engage in illegal groups or start missing classes—discipline is key,” he stated.

Here at Igbajo Polytechnic, Man O’ War serves as the ‘student police,’ ensuring peace and standing up for students when they face intimidation or bullying. We uphold discipline, respect, and the values of service to humanity,” she said.

Some of the new recruits also spoke about their excitement and motivation for joining. Bakare Olayinka, a fresh recruit from the Department of Electrical Electronics Engineering (ND 1), shared his enthusiasm, saying:
"Man O’ War is one of the best paramilitary organizations, not just in Nigeria but worldwide. There’s a saying that ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,’ and I strongly believe that this training will be a great stepping stone for me in the future."

New Recruit, Isaac Destiny 

Another recruit, Isaac Destiny from the Department of Statistics (ND 1), reflected on her admiration for the organization since her secondary school days.
"I have always admired Man O’ War, especially during my secondary school years when they trained us for parades. Their discipline, uniform, and dignity drew me closer to them. So, when I got to campus and heard about the recruitment, I knew I had to join. This is a dream come true for me, and I look forward to learning and growing through this training," she said.

New Recruit 

The three-day recruitment camp continues with intense physical drills, teamwork exercises, leadership training, and motivational sessions to instill the necessary qualities in the new recruits. The Man O' War welcome students from diverse backgrounds who are ready to uphold the principles of discipline, integrity, and service.
