Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration 2017: IBB Sues For National Unity by seunlly(m): 1:44am On Jan 15, 2017 |
Former Military President and elder statesman, General Ibrahim Babangida, has called for national unity, noting that “in our collective and individual resolves, we should keep Nigeria’s unity, irrespective of sectional, religious and cultural leanings”. Speaking on the occasion of the 2017 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebrations, Babangida expressed joy that this year’s celebration is coming at a time our armed forces are gaining more ground in the fight against insurgency. In a statement by his media office, IBB said, “As we celebrate the Armed forces remembrance day, we should take a stock of our uniqueness and sacrifices by our men and women of the armed forces especially the fallen heroes that paid the supreme sacrifices of maintaining peace not only in our country but beyond the shores of Nigeria”. Commending the military for containing Boko Haram terrorists, Babangida posited that recent events across the country on general insecurity and economic sabotage are a source of concern to every well-meaning Nigerian. Meanwhile, Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has expressed displeasure over the way and manner soldiers who fought for the peace, unity and progress of the country are neglected and pleaded for a special attention and support for them. He made the passionate plea during the launching of the 2017 official launch/ sale of poppy to mark the Armed Forces Remembrance Appeal Week, held at Government House, Minna. Announcing a cash donation of N6million, on behalf of the state government and a personal donation of N250, 000, the governor directed all local government councils in the state to support legionnaires. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/01/armed-forces-remembrance-day-celebration-2017-ibb-sues-national-unity/ |

It's a good step in the right direction. Hope we don't get to abandon it and remember the fallen heroes only during a particular day. |

juman: A house divided among itself cannot stand irrespective of wealth or resources. Even OBJ who fought against Biafra and normally sings One Nigeria mantra has admitted that the country is more divided now than ever. The more we force unity, the more disunited we become. This is because various ethnic groups do not find fulfilment in the Nigerian project. They are being suffocated by poverty, crime, terrorism, inflation, bad infrastructure, no light, joblessness, corruption and more caused by the poor governance by the elites. Therefore, if we do not soon grant various regions much greater autonomy and self actualisation/governance within One Nigeria, there might be no Nigeria to call one. We cannot keep quoting corruption by state governments to perpetuate an unwieldy centralised FG that is very far removed from the grassroots. Let bring governance closer to the people and let the people take it from there. Yes, those of us sounding a note warning are labelled IPOB, militants, wailers and whatnot by the ostriches out there. They stick their head in the sand instead of seeing reason. 1 Like |

truefact: AreaFada2: I perfectly understand you people. I am also not a pro one nigeria by force by force. Obviously there is no good to be together as we are now. The country is leading to no where. Infact I would be extremely happy if everybody goes their way. In this one nigeria, we dont have sensible leaders that can lead the country to make nigeria a country to be proud of. |

truefact: Even the British that "united" us cannot even stay in European Union that they voluntarily applied and begged to join EEC back in the 60s and early 70s. They found increasing "unity" with Europe problematic and are now leaving. Much less we that did not even ask to be amalgamated in Nigeria. At the very least, there should be a greater decentralisation of govt, with much powers devolved to regions. Failing that we are staring a messy implosion in the face. A very messy ethno-religious one. Nigeria survived Biafra war because religion wasn't openly a major factor in it. |

Of course IBB will love 'one nigeria' because it means more oil pension for him as an ex-president. |
