naptu2: Major General Johnson Thomas Umanakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi, Head Of State And Supreme Commander Of The Armed Forces Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria.
General Aguiyi Ironsi had 3 ADCs (serving concurrently), one each from the army, navy and air force.
ADC = Lieutenant Sani Bello (Nigerian Army).
Sani Bello became a Colonel and Governor of Kano State. He is the father of the present governor of Niger State.
ADC = Lieutenant Andrew Nwankwo (Nigerian Air Force).
Andrew Nwankwo retired with the rank of Captain and later became a senator.
Picture 1: Colonel Sani Bello
Picture 2: Senator Andrew Nwankwo. When it got to his turn he decided to have an Igbo and a northerner as his ADC , this man must have been driven by something else and not patriotism. 4 Likes 1 Share |

naptu2: Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, President And Commander In Chief Of The Armed Forces Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria.
ADC = Colonel Mustapha Dennis Onoyivetta (Nigerian Army).
Colonel Mustapha Onoyiveta from Delta State served as ADC to President Yar'Adua from 2007-2010. He played a controversial role while protecting the President during his illness, especially when the President suddenly returned to Nigeria from Saudi Arabia.
He was subsequently promoted to the rank of Brigadier General and posted to the Army Headquarters as head of the Army Operations Monitoring Team. He later served as Chief of Staff to the Chief of Army Staff (Generals Ihejirika and Minimah). Loyalty! 1 Like |

Colonel Adegbe served as the ADC to President Goodluck Jonathan from 2010 to 2015.
Colonel Ojogbane Adegbe graduated from the Nigerian Defence Academy with a BSc in Mathematics. He also has a masters degree in Intelligence and International Security from Kings College, London. He has served in the 26th Motorized Battalion, Ecomog in Sierra Leone, the Office of the Defence Adviser at the Nigerian High Commission in London, the Intelligence Production Centre of the Headquarters of the Nigerian Army Intelligence Corps and the 81 Division Intelligence Command, Lagos.

naptu2:
Photo 1: President Ronald Reagan and his ADC, Colonel John Kline (US Marines). Colonel Kline is carrying the nuclear football. He later became a member of the US House Of Representatives.
Photo 2: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his army ADC, Major General Edwin Martin "Pa" Watson. Notice that the President is supporting himself with his cane on his left hand and he has his right hand in his ADC's arm (remember Yar'Adua?). (Roosevelt was usually assisted by his son or his ADC when he had to stand in public).
Photo 3: President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his Naval ADC, Captain Daniel J. Callaghan, taking the salute of a composite Battalion of the 14th Infantry at Gatun Locks, Panama Canal Zone, as they were disembarking from USS Tuscaloosa (CA-37) on 18 February 1940. (Daniel Callaghan attained the rank of Rear Admiral before he was killed during the 2nd World War when an enemy shell hit his flagship).
Photo 4: President Barrack Obama's former ADC from 2012-2014, US Marine Corp Lieutenant Colonel Lee Meyer (extreme right on the stage) assists the President as he presents medals of honour to military veterans.
Colonel Meyer said that he was told, when he was appointed as the President's ADC, that it's a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week job. “I really realised that I was married when I told my wife that I couldn’t do something she wanted me to do because my president needed me ... and she said that wasn’t a good enough excuse,” said Meyer, who has been married for about a year
Photo 5: US President Jimmy Carter at Dodan Barracks. Beside President Carter is the parade commander. Behind them is the Commander of the (Nigerian) Brigade of Guards, Colonel Mamman Vatsa and beside Vatsa (in white) is President Carter's ADC.
Photo 6: Presidents Obasanjo and Clinton with their ADCs. I think President Clinton's ADC in this picture was Colonel Dana Pittard, while President Obasanjo's ADC was the late Colonel Solomon Giwa-Amu.
Photo 7: US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson and President Bill Clinton. Lieutenant Colonel Patterson was President Clinton's Air Force ADC from 1996-1998.
In an extremely unusual move, Colonel Patterson wrote a book (after he had retired from the Air Force and Bill Clinton had left the White House) in which he viciously criticised President Clinton (I think it was in this book that he revealed that President Clinton once lost "The Biscuit" [a small notebook that contains the codes for launching a nuclear strike). The book is called, "Dereliction of Duty: Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America's National Security".

Photo 9: President Obama with David Kalinske and family on Colonel kalinske's last day as the President's ADC.

Look at then in the 50s, these men were in their late 20s and very early 30s when they took the helm of affairs of the nation at the time, but a 30 year old man in present day nigeria has not dome anything meaningful with his life yet. Without making excuses for anyone or any generation, I should mention that there is a deeper historical reason for this - and it rests with the fact that as a new nation just coming into its own, the younger generation formed the majority of the educated class at the time, while much older people were, more often than not, either illiterate or semi-literate. Needless to say, as time went along and things evened out, that younger generation has grown into an educated and experienced older generation. That's the reason. 14 Likes 5 Shares |
