The strength of the Exboys UK Association has always been our shared identity, our enduring brotherhood, and our willingness to support one another beyond the walls of the Nigerian Military School (NMS). Here in the UK, we’ve built a home away from home, a network of Exboys united by discipline, excellence, and legacy. But to keep this going, and to grow it even stronger, we must talk about our shared responsibility—financially and beyond.
What Your Dues Help Us Do
Running a purposeful association like ours requires ongoing expenses—tools, systems, and services that help us stay connected, informed, and effective. Your dues help pay for:
- Zoom Subscriptions – Hosting our virtual meetings, AGMs, and seminars.
- Domain, Blog Hosting & Google Workspace – Powering our website, emails, storage, and collaboration.
- LastPass – Securing our passwords and digital access safely.
- Salesforce & QuickBooks – Managing our members and finances with professionalism and transparency.
- Email & Newsletter Services – Keeping you in the loop with updates, opportunities, and community news.
- ClickSend (SMS) – Sending timely text reminders and notifications.
- Seminars, Flyers & Publications – Providing personal and professional growth opportunities.
- Give Back Projects & Awards – Supporting impactful initiatives at NMS and recognising those who serve.
These services directly benefit you as a member—and all of us collectively. They help us plan, communicate, and operate effectively. Without them, the engine stops running.
Heartfelt Thanks to Our Financially Faithful Members
To the brothers who consistently pay their dues and honour their financial commitments: thank you. You are the reason we are still standing. You make it possible for events to be organised, newsletters to go out, projects to be funded, and messages to be delivered.

But Finances Alone Are Not Enough
We also need your presence. Your voice. Your hands.
We need more than subscriptions—we need:
- Attendance at meetings, events, and seminars
- Volunteering when needed
- Sharing knowledge and supporting one another
- Contributing to discussions and helping build this brotherhood
Together, we are stronger. And as Exboys, we must embrace every effort to build a united, engaged, and thriving association. Let us shun voices or acts of disunity, avoid passive membership, and instead pour into this body that once poured so much into us.
Let’s build each other up—with unity, strength, and brotherhood in diaspora.
£10 a Month – A Small Gift with Great Impact
Our monthly dues have remained £10 for over ten years. Even with inflation and rising costs, we’ve kept it modest because we believe it’s an amount every Exboy can afford. Yet, the truth is sobering: less than 20% of members pay.
This means a small few carry the burden for the rest—year after year. Many benefit from the association’s resources, attend events, receive messages, and newsletters—without ever contributing a single penny.
We can do better. And we must.
Open Membership – Fair Expectations
We welcome all Exboys living in the UK to join us. New members enjoy a one-year grace period to familiarise themselves with the association and get settled. After that, we expect £10/month from every member—because being part of something meaningful means committing to it.
Additionally, we have a £100/year Give Back Levy, which goes towards development projects and alumni initiatives at our beloved alma mater, NMS.
Combined, your total commitment is less than £20/month—a small price for a great cause.

The Bottom Line
Ask yourself:
🔸 How long will I be a bystander?
🔸 How long will I consume without contributing?
🔸 Is £10 too much to invest in my own community of brothers?
Charity begins at home. Brotherhood is built by all of us, not some of us. Let’s stop leaving the work to a faithful few or making excuses to justify the non-committal to the association. Let’s rise together, stand united, and honour our legacy with action not words alone.
We are Exboys. We don’t wait to be told.
We lead. We give. We show up. We build.
Support. Participate. Volunteer. Unite.
Let’s make the NMS Exboys UK Association something every Exboy will be proud to belong to.
