The First African To Attain The Rank Of A Field Marshal In The Army
opera.comDec 23, 2019 9:11 PM

The field marshal is the highest rank in the military. After the rank of a general (4 star), you get the rank of field marshal (five star). To attain this rank, it requires an extra ordinary achievement by a general mostly after victories in a tough War. Only few individuals have attained such position. Most countries have never had someone attain the rank of a field Marshal such as Nigeria, Cameroon, England etc Many rulers have used the title of a field Marshal, but this write-up is about the first to reach such position in Africa through the military.

The first field Marshal in the continent of Africa is Abdel Hakim Amer. Abdel Hakim Amer was born in the year 1919 and died in the year 1967. He was an Egyptian military official who played a leading role in the establishment of Egypt as a republic in 1952, through a military coup that brought in Gamal Abdel Nasser to power after overthrowing king Farouk. The same year he was named Chief of the Egyptian army. When Egypt and Syria formed the United Arab Republic in 1958, he was named the Field Marshal. Later in 1959 he was appointed governor of Syria. During the unrest in Syria, he was sent back to Cairo. In 1964 he was appointed the first Vice President to Gamal Nasser and Deputy Supreme Commander of the military.

Egypt Suffered a crushing defeat in the year June 17, 1967 in the Six-Day War. Abdel Hakim Amer was to be blamed for the disastrous defeat and was sent to an early retirement. Later same year, Abdel Hakim Amer was arrested and accused of leading a coup. He was alleged to have committed suicide during house arrest by taking a large amount of poisonous pills. His family members till date still insist that he was murdered.

Some zombies are diversifying and I find it really interesting to see them do so.

Now, we have the Oba of Zombies plying his trade in the history department.

This is good for our democracy...

Baba lifeless hand must touch everybody.

Back to the topic, the Field Marshall have a striking resemblance with the Ghanian actor, Majid Michel.

1919 to 1947 aged 48years and was already a field Marshall, no wonder he failed woefully in the 6days war..
Even getting a full general rank in the Nigerian army requires one to be politically involved and temper with his service years of 35.

Olanisekin is over 37 years in service, maybe he's hoping to fully win the bokoharam war so he can clinch the tittle.
I hope he succeed though

A fake Field Marshall that couldn't win Arab/Isreali 6 days of war.
Even common to resist arrest he couldn't.
He is just Egypt version of General Buhari.
He couldn't win Arab/Israeli war just d same Buhari couldn't win Boko haram upon being a general.
He still couldn't resist arrest when he was about to be arrest just d same way Buhari cowardly couldn't resist arrest by Col. Dasuki in 1985

The six day war was a big lesson for Egypt Jordan and Syria that Israel is not a country you toy with. He will continue to respect Israeli Defence Force even in his grave.
Israeli Air defence was too strong for him to handle I believe the panicking lead to his death
*Don't Mess with Israel *
