arresa:How many democratically elected presidents do U know? Can U confidently list just 5 names of African Heads of State that U know without consulting google? A lot of U aren't intelligent and the sad thing is that all of U are from the Southwest. What kind of education do U people get over there? Reading through Ur posts on this thread feels like watching a horror movie... I've been asking myself whather these people have even one naira sense in their heads, or is it hatred, plain stupidity or just the usual Yoruba crowd + herd mentality? Yorubas are the problem with Nigeria... From Ur leaders down to the smallest toddlers. No commonsense! I guess the revolution that Tifnubu talked about should actually begin from the Southwest. Bunch of zombies! 1 Like |

OBJ as a democratic president and former military general wore military uniform how many times?

fx45: It's not about how many I know, it's more about how many do you see in military uniforms so if you have no answer or anything sensible to say, just keep quiet with your ignorant and bigoted rant.. |

Please allow the president to enjoy his military regalia as C-in-C of the armed forces because he may not be in that position this time next year to adorn the costume. |

[size=14pt]NOT AGAIN[/size]. The President is the Commander In Chief of The Armed Forces of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria and he can wear military uniforms especially when performing military functions. He wears the uniform of a 5 star general, i.e Field Marshal of the army Admiral of the fleet of the navy Marshal of the air force. This is a practice that was inherited from the british and can be seen in Commonwealth countries around the world (many non commonwealth countries also practice this same tradition). President Nnamdi Azikiwe wore military uniforms. General Yakubu Gowon was an army officer, but he wore navy and air force uniforms on navy and air force days respectively for the same reason. President Shehu Shagari also wore military uniforms. General Ibrahim Babangida also wore navy and air force uniforms. President Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2007) also wore army, navy and air force uniforms. Several governors-general of Canada have worn military uniforms. Queen Elizabeth often wore military uniforms. This is because they are/were the Commander in Chief of the armed forces. |

Shortly after President Shagari eventually took office, he met with senior military officials. They expressed the wish that the President retain the defence portfolio, rather than appoint a civilian defence minister. He refused, and decided instead to appoint Mathematics Professor Iya Abubakar as civilian Defence Minister. Iya was, like Ribadu in the first republic, a Fulani from Adamawa. For reasons that have never been clarified, however, Shagari took over the defence portfolio from Professor Iya Abubakar in October 1982, a move that the opposition interpreted as preparatory to using the military for partisan purposes. After winning a second term, Shagari then appointed Alhaji Akanbi Oniyangi, a lawyer and businessman from Ilorin as his second Defence minister. Shagari did not, however, appoint Ministers of State for individual services as had existed in the first republic. He also agreed for the psychological satisfaction of the military, to wear military uniform anytime he was performing purely military state functions. This had also been the practice of President Nnamdi Azikiwe back in the first republic. It may have been a colonial tradition with roots in the quasi-military heritage of most British Governors General. http://www.gamji.com/nowa/nowa12.htm Note that Shehu Shagari was never in the armed forces. |
