If doesn't concern "us" as you alleged, why then are you looking out for "us" in the list with skepticism? Rather says am not disappointed.

The reason for the reshuffle is not stated. I just hope it's not in preparation for anything like...

DONSMITH123:
while Major General A Oyebade, General Officer Commanding (GOC), 1 Division Nigerian Army, will move to Army Headquarters as Chief of Logistics (COLOG),

Congrats to Maj. General Oyebade, a veteran soldier, a gem in the Nigerian Army. I hope and pray that he becomes COAS someday. He has served Nigeria well, and his loyalty to this country remains unshaken. I came across an old video documentary of the Liberian civil war in which he appeared, fearless discussing with rebels. He was a captain then.

Given the opportunity, I would love to sit with him and talk about his days in ECOMOG.
