Nice one coming from the Nigerian Army.

If Ojukwu ( a Biafran) can be given a national burial despite his rebellion against the Nigeria state, this Nigerian hero deserved more.

Nonsense?! Oops, I've forgotten he did more harm than good [from your own perspective though] to your people when he was alive. Merely seeing his name gives you restless days and sleepless nights!

RIP, to a great man!

I don't engage people like you who know nothing. In case you don't know, I'm not from the west. So, you can take your frustration outta here!

The irony of the whole thing is that it was never debated whether or not Adekunle should be given a state burial. The Nigerian Army is aware that the Black Scorpion was a hero.

He served his fatherland with his life on the line, it is right for his fatherland to honour him. It's like they say, "give honour to whom honour is due."
