It’s standard practice to pay homage to your host. That’s done everywhere in the world.
Good night hero. They all died in active service.

TotoGame:


I know all these .....

I'm just trying to tell the guy that the emir of zazzau is the emir of zaria

Zazzau is an ancient emirate which zaria is part of

AntiAPC2023:
your moniker is Yakubu Gowon.
E be like 1967-1970 painment never still commot for your head.
no kill yourself for Biafra matter cos if you die waste like Ikonso, we igbos will move on and forget you ever existed.

Hamiltonii:
Would they cancel everything because of the death of a terrorist?

Yobabad:
Ok, no problem, Rip Ikonso

DasaintHope:

I wouldn't want to disclose that, though presently am not in the country.

owobokiri:
He had to fly in yesterday so he will be able to "sleep over and pay homage to emir of Zazzau (goodluck pronouncing that towns name without biting your tongue)" BEFORE attending the PoP.
Nobody knows when tragedy will strike, but since this happened, I have always thought that as a supposedly busy Army chief directing "war efforts" in multiple fronts. , he could have flown to Kaduna today, finished with the PoP whatever before noon and get back to his desk for sundry matters before the end of the day...

Why the homage to the overdressed and highly useless emir? What is the essence of the homage to these funny looking emirs? Are they the local garrison commanders?? The time Burutai mowed down hundreds of shites in Zaria few years ago, he was also on his way to pay homage to the emir of Zaria! These are top military officers and not politicians or local Chiefs. What are they always doing with all these moribund emirs?

RIP Late Army Chief Attahiru.

Lt. Gen. Attahiru and the others were stalwarts and brave soldiers , who dedicated their career, and now their very lives in the service of this nation and toward the realisation of the noble aspirations this nation represents.
Lt. Gen. Attahiru, just like the others, involved in this tragic incident, served his country with zeal and vigour.
He was known as a soldier’s soldier.
Every good and sane Nigerians must gird themselves and finish the job to which the deceased military officers dedicated and gave their lives for.
Let us remember these brave patriots not with our tears but by achieving victory over the terrorism and violence that seek to rob our nation of its finest destiny.
Let this unfortunate accident not deter us but spur us and our valiant military to continue to defend this land from violence and evil.

It's sad he didn't get to enjoy the perks of his office, even sadder that he died relatively young.
I can imagine the pain his friends and relatives will feel knowing they didn't get to use his position to intimidate people just like that barber at Umunneochi who has a business card that reads "Brother of the Councilor Ward 2".

We can only take solace in the fact that, just like Adamu Garba has pointed out, "there are over 200,000 General Attahirus in the Nigerian Army.
Nothing will change. Nothing will stop. Nothing will slack".

And like we grew up saying in 042, "soldier go, soldier come, kpekus remains".
The Nigerian Army should know better and not cancel this ceremony.
