Address Me As, Muhammadu Buhari, Not General by Naijaland12: 3:57pm On May 17, 2015 |
With the acronym, GMB (General Muhammadu Buhari) he rode to victory at the last general election but he now wants to be addressed differently. The official portraits of Nigeria’s president-elect and his vice-president, have been unveiled by their media team in Abuja. And after being sworn in on 29 May, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari will now want to be addressed simply as Muhammadu Buhari, President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria. His deputy will also be addressed as Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, Vice President, Federal Republic of Nigeria. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/05/17/address-me-as-muhammadu-buhari-not-general/ |

But truthfully speaking, Buhari is NOT a "GENERAL". He is a MAJOR GENERAL, which is two ranks below an actual General. And no, they are not the same thing. In the army, the Brigadier-General (one star) precedes the Major-General (two stars) which comes before the Lieutenant-General (three stars), and THEN the General (four stars). The "GMB" label was actually a misnomer. 3 Likes |

MCMLXXVI: If not for the sincerity of Buhari, he would have been a General. Most of the so-called Retired/late Generals (like Abacha and Babangida) we have today were his inferiors when they were still in Service. He didn't just wanna promote himself in a dubious way like them. He's Mr 'Due Process'... He's worth the General tag and he deserves it! 3 Likes |

MCMLXXVI:A General is a General, but with different stages. The same thing applies to a Lieutenant-Colonel who is addressed as though he is a Colonel. Today, T. Y. Danjuma is addressed as a General, but he retired as a Lieutenant-General. 1 Like |

OrlandoOwoh: A Major-General is NOT a General. It is not even a "type of General" or a stage. That this misnomer is often overlooked in Nigeria does not make it valid. They cannot be used interchangeably. Military nomenclature has its rules. |

IsraeliAIRFORCE:Ngwakwe, you're pained. Your candidate, Jonathan lost. You also lost your job as a moderator in the politics section. You're ashamed of using your Ngwakwe handle. Buhari became Head of State as a Major General and remained so 20 months after he was overthrown. Murtala Muhammed became Head of State as a Brigadier. He was a full General when he was assassinated 6 months later. |
