To the best of my knowledge, only 5 people in this picture are still alive (Although I could be wrong) . I think that Madiebo,Adebayo,David Ejoor,Conrad Nwawo and Yakubu Gowon are all still alive and in their 80's. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

Do that uniform bring fear into people's heart like this present one? To me, I think it would have been laughter. 2 Likes |

musiwa97: The picture is correctly dated and it was not 1963. I suggest you do not confuse Maj. Gen. Christopher Welby-Everard with General Forster. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Thanks for your advice on the other thread! I was banned by the auto spam bot for correcting someone who placed an inflammatory topic without source! And guess what? I was not rude to the guy, just drew his attention to the gravity of the matter! Check: https://www.nairaland.com/2292099/bad-news-ebola-now-sexually#33384046 It's sooo annoying!!! Especially when I found that after Ishilove highlighted your comment and made an addendum, my thread was closed without allowing me to make a rebuttal or clarification. In what way was my thread an aberration teeowl: |

How many days were you banned? If it is too long, you might have to call the attention of Se.un by sending him a private message... tyrannysucks: 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Picture Of The First Generation Of Nigerian Army Officers by tyrannysucks: 2:19am On May 04, 2015 |
I didn't bother checking, but if I have to go to Seun to seek redress on a matter as simple as this, then what are the moderators for? I assume they were appointed to make his job easier!!! teeowl: |
Re: Picture Of The First Generation Of Nigerian Army Officers by Nobody: 2:22am On May 04, 2015 |
Check first, if it is just 1 or 2 days, then let it pass. If is too long, then go to Se.un. tyrannysucks: |

So Ojukwu was senior to Gowon afterall, hmmm. I also thought northerners claimed the Igbos dominated the military in the first republic, hmmm. A good mathematician in the house should please help me count igbo names in that pic |
Re: Picture Of The First Generation Of Nigerian Army Officers by Nobody: 2:34am On May 04, 2015 |
Ojukwu was on the same rank as Gowon... but I think he joined the military a month earlier than Gowon. In the listings before the picture, you can see that both of them are Lieutenants. IdiAmin1: 3 Likes |
