Great achievement and I already like his African Spirit despite the OPs best efforts to demean him into a local champion... anyway though he has achieved a lot I'm sure Col Njoku would not mind me educating our brothers across the Niger with Africa's and the black race's finest example of Western military achievement under adversity, both born slaves both turned renown fighting geniuses, the Generals Toussaint Louverture and IMHO the more impressive Thomas Alexandre-Dumas. If we could have fighting commanders almost 300 years ago, we can still definitely raise the bar a bit higher now.

meanwhile some buffoons are busy with tell tales of how they won a war fought mainly with Military arsenal of British Empire and military hardware from Soviet Union in a war where food was eventually used as a weapon to kill mainy women and malnourished children instead of a convincing a man to man encounter with the Biafran forces.

Shameless Vampires !!!

Nigerian colonel Obama honoured with award

. In another little way, I have been paying income tax to the Nigerian government for quite some time. .

http://sunnewsonline.com/new/saturday-people/nigerian-colonel-obama-honoured-award/

Even this "Foreigner" realizes the essence of paying taxes, later some people will come and tell me they're "Republican" in nature that's why they evade taxes.

Why can't a man like this be encouraged to go run for the highest office in Nigeria? If APC is smart they will at least contact a disciplined man like this and encourage him to run as vice to another disciplined man like Buhari, with the agreement that Buhari (due to age) would run for only one term, while, say, Fashola runs as Col.Njoku's vice in the next dispensation. This is how u set the country on the right path, promote Unity and confidence in the land again,encourage discipline and eschew mediocrity.

I hope the right person is reading this.

So you fools expected your opponents to feed you during a war... abi

Mumu dey smell follow you...

I am sure if it were in Nigeria his post would hav been occupied by one Abubakar Adamu Mohammed.

A prophet has no honour in his country.

why is it that countries with smart and intelligent people always want to associate with igbos?

NDI IGBO ARE BLESSED AND FAVOURED BY GOD

do you not quite understand the rules of warfare , has the east ever depended on the North or the west for their Staple food , besides foods from the North like Onions, Tomato and cow meat which the East can conveniently provide for its self when threatened with war does the east depend on the west for anything.

You can find out for your self if you care to that the inept Nigerian army was busy sabotaging farm lands of innocent igbos and at the same time prevent vital aids and medicine from Red Cross and other humanitarian organisations seeking to end suffering of women and children.

If Nigeria is so confident of using food as a means of combat during warfare why did they not use the same tactics on Cameroon which invaded Nigeria on many occasion and eventually took over an oil rich part of Nigeria , the Bakassi Peninsular citing an ICJ ruling which nobody obeys


Little wonder when Americans were looking to recruit foreigners to beef up their war on Terrorism they only looked towards the recruitment of igbos despite the mouth making and self praise going on in some parts of the country

American army has no room for cowards who would rather sabotage farm lands of enemy territory than engage in full scale combat

Man to man encounter in modern warfare? You are a bushman. No wonder you people lost the war.


Anyway, kudos to the Colonel.

Cry me a River....

Congrats to Colonel Njoku for his numerous achievements! He is indeed a shining light to other Nigerians and Africans in general.

@ Igbo-Delta: A colonel is a mid-level officer, not a senior officer. Only Brigadier Generals, Major Generals, Lieutenant Generals, and Generals are senior officers in the US army and Airforce.

true2god: No, he understands yoruba.

LOL...

I wonder why this is yet to make front page.....seun!!!! is it when an igbo man is tagged the most notorious armed robber in the u s that ur mods will put it on fp...smh ooo

Great

Umu Biafra.

We are a peace loving people!
We don't bomb and hack people to death either in the name of "keeping Nigeria one" or in the name of "Allah".

I am talking about lobbying the people that matters in the US and the UN.

peacefull in deed, ibo are violent,rioutous,excalant. How can a tribe that have no respect for authrities,order,elder,war tasty claim to be peacefull. Peacefull people are people who search for solution on round table, and never triger war, unless to defend and protect by retaliation.

Heebbos, u people reek of inferiority complex, what if Obama father is an iboman?
