Isaac Fadoyebo Who Fought In WWII Remembered by PaulJohn1: 5:34am On Jan 26, 2013 |
At 16, Isaac Fadoyebo ran away from his home in southwest Nigeria and signed up to fight for Britain in World War II, a decision made from youthful exuberance that saw him sent to Burma to fight and nearly die. http://abcnews.go.com/story?id=18302660 1 Like

Coefficient:1.) I don't know if he his senseless since I haven't met him before, but I can't but side with you on this one after seeing him make a comment. 2.) Hehehedotcom, I don't believe you quoted that long post just to make a comment like that. What's GEJ concern with this issue? 3.) You should only quote posts that someone addresses to you or mentions you like I am doing and not the the whole content of the piece of news. 1 Like |

The Burma Boy has finally succumbed to death, what a great story, what an enchanted life, to face the japanese in WWII was to face the devil himself. These are histories that must be kept alive. Adieu Papa |
Re: Isaac Fadoyebo Who Fought In WWII Remembered by Theblessed(f): 6:20am On Jan 27, 2013 |
[size=16pt]If Mr Fadoyebo is remembered then, he is a lucky man! My own uncle - Uncle Michael joined the British war efforts at the age of 18 years in 1940 and was sent to Burma to fight and came home alive after the war. He lived for some years before he passed away, and no one remembered him - his War Pensions where not paid to him and his poor widow is even languishing in poverty and hunger in the village whilst someone, in charge of the War Pensions in that Common Wealth Office in Nigeria is pocketing her War Widows Pensions alongside others widows without a thought - God of Abraham will judge them all. Remember, he said, "He is a husband to the widow and a father to the orphans", he will judge them.[/size] |
