Really? May his soul rest in peace

May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. He served his country well and lived to an old age.

End of an era, thank God he died peacefully not by firing squad.

May his soul rest in peace.

There's a story my dad told about this name.




But I can't remember what it was about.

Is it how he survived death or something ?

But the name rings a bell in my head.


Fare -thee-well, soldier !

The crying General

Dude knelt down before Abacha, crying and begging for his life, when he was accused of plotting a coup against Abacha in 1997 ..

E get enough bravery to plot coup but not enough bravery to man up to the consequences of coup-plotting when he was caught


May he rest in peace Jare

If this is true, then R.I.P to him
In my records, he died since 1998
Today is just a memorial

Ok
