They are all failed leaders, greedy, wicked devils. They've ruled Nigeria into a thick darkness.

To think that they were all in their 20s here, and they were already leaders in their own right.
What is our generation all about sef?

Good education is one advantage the old generation have. OBJ is not a university graduate but at his age he reads more than the everage 22 year old not to talk of older ones . It is a big shame and there is no polite way to put it but you guys are bleeped.

Your generation is very shallow and lacking ideals and ideas. They are appendages to egos of old people. I have not heard any new ideology, original social direction or creed on Nairaland. Rather it is a discussion about Jonathan , OBJ, Buhari and Fayose.

It is sad but you guys are nonentities.

All these nonsense talk about stabbing in the Back you people used to spew. The only people that can stab you in the back are people you trusted in the first place. Since time immemorial Igbos never trust Yoruba and Nobody trust Igbos, Yes Nobody, because...we know why. Yoruba can't stab you in the back because you don't trust them, and Yoruba will be fools to complain about you stabbing them in the back, They know you. If you expect certain things from Yoruba during the war and you don't get it, that's not stabbing in the back, they don't owe you any favour, neither did they send you to go to war...Jesus in His majestic Wisdom says, it's only a fool that will want to go to war and will not strategise first and count the cost to see the possibilities of winning, blame yourselves.

Not true, Emmanuel Udeaja is still alive. This picture was like a meeting of military officers and politicians at a 'Nigerian House' in Britain. I noticed the picture of Zik on the wall so this means it was after october 1st 1960.

If this picture is actually 1960, and it looks that way, it was any time between october 1st of that year and December 31st.


Ademulegun commisioned in 1949 would have been a Colonel here

Ojukwu, commissioned in 1957, (Although his commission date was back dated to 1955) would have been a a captain here.

Obasunjo and Udeaja, both commissioned in 1960 would have been Lieutenants here

This is a historic picture, at the time, most of these men tbought that Nigeria would become a nation where everyone would see each other as brothers. None of them, living or dead, ever saw it.

Ha ha ha. Nothing works out well if the opinion of the largest single ethnic group in a country doesn't matter for other ethnic groups.

You are in for a long destructive politics for wan Naijeriyaaa. Nothing is gonna work well.
