Wow!!!

Wow!!!

War no be joke oo

Our soldiers died for a failed state. What am I even saying, our wicked soldiers are the enemy of the people, with the exception of few. They brutalized unarmed civilians and even send some to their grave.

Back in warri some years back at okuokorkor road, the soldiers taking money from huge trucks were using a young civilian to run their errands to take tips from these trucks.

An army office, a senior officer was passing and then got wind of the situation. He ordered the soldier to shoot their errand boy on the spot, which they did. The boy was killed after being used by these useless men in uniform.

Nothing was done. A lawless country. But in the US, civilians can even insult and assault an army officer, he won't be killed but he arrested by policemen for assault. No army has the right to take the life of the people they claim to serve.

Anyways, this is a wasted write up.

UK in Nigeria🇬🇧🇳🇬 @UKinNigeria

I just saw a NA personnel convoy with one driver with green turban on camouflage

Damn, I m just hearing this for the first time. Had an old fellow in my village back the early 2000s who always bragged about fighting in the 2 nd world war. Many people thought he was delusional. But I always thought, how could someone delusional have such vivid details of exact time, names of places and events,

Chai, Papa old soldier, so you truely were a world war veteran...You are long dead now but three gbosa for you sir. When next I find myself in Yangoon, I will plant a tree for you.

Nigerian troops in the two world wars and why the Nigerian High Commissioner will lay a wreath today.

Kamerun was colonised by Germany, so there were concerns with the outbreak of World War 1 that Nigeria could be attacked by Kamerun/Germany. Troops were mobilised for the defence of Nigeria and for action against Kamerun/Germany. The war on Nigeria's eastern front raged between 1914-1916. Nigerian troops captured Yaounde and Douala and were able to drive the Germans to Spanish Guinea (now Equatorial Guinea) where they were disarmed. The Royal Navy sent some warships to Nigeria to assist with the campaign.

Germany also colonised Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania and parts of Kenya, so Nigerian troops were also deployed to East Africa to fight against the Germans. This phase of the war lasted from 1916-1918 and resulted in a victory for the allies (British Empire [Indians, East, West and South Africans], Belgian and Portuguese forces). At least 2,700 Nigerians died in this campaign.

Nigerians also famously fought in the 2nd World War. Nigerian troops were deployed in 1940 to participate in the defence of Kenya. They also fought in Abyssinia (Ethiopia), Somalia and Sudan. They returned to Nigeria in 1941.

Back in Nigeria, they were deployed to the northern and western borders after France fell, to prevent a possible attack by the Vichy French (there were concerns that the Vichy French would try to invade Nigeria and this resulted in several false alarms in 1941 and 1942).

Their most famous battles in the war were in India and Burma between 1943 - 1945. Many famous Nigerian soldiers, such as Sergeant Hama Kim, Wellington Bassey and Johnson Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi, fought in this phase of the war. They were engaged in intense and brutal fighting against the Japanese in awful conditions.


The BBC has produced several documentaries (on tv and radio) about the exploits of these Africans in South-East Asia. A British journalist, Barnaby Philips, produced a documentary for Al-Jazeera in 2012 called "Burma Boy" in which he tracked down a Nigerian soldier that fought in Burma during World War 2 and got him to tell his story. He also tracked down the children of the Burmese man who sheltered the Nigerian soldier when he got injured and the Japanese were looking for him. Barnaby Philips also wrote a book about Nigerian soldiers who fought in Burma. It's titled "Another Man's War".

Many Nigerian sitcoms in the 1970s and 1980s had a character that was a former major who fought in the 2nd World War (usually in Burma, but also in the Carribeans), eg Sura Di Tailor, Second Chance and Village Headmaster.

Many Nigerian graves remain in cemeteries at the Dalet Chaung near Tamandu, the Rangoon Memorial and the Taukkyan War Cemetery in Burma.

Several barracks in Nigeria are named after places where Nigerian troops fought and died during the 2nd World War. These include Dodan (Ikoyi), An (Yaba), Myohaung (Yaba), Arakan (Apapa), Marda (Yaba) and Tamandu Barracks (Apapa) in Lagos; Letmauk Barracks in Ibadan; Dalet, Mogadishu, Colito and Kalapanzin Barracks in Kaduna; and the Chindit Barracks in Zaria.

Ceremonies were held in certain military cemeteries in Nigeria on the 11th to honour soldiers who died in these wars.

That's why the Nigerian High Commissioner will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in London today.

Of what benefits is this remembrance observance across the world to the living and to the dead?


Waste of funds



Allow the dead Rest in Peace abeg

I never knew they even had a section of the cemetery dedicated to them. it still has a touch of a white man, well manicured and maintained

Oyibo is never tired of using and dumping african black ass!! From trans antlantic slave trade and now japa fever.

The cost of peace so high for anyone to think of war as an option.

Is good to want UK as allies, but not to come lead your every step like the hateful does. The criminal tribalist has no iota of foresight, if it's not greed stealing.


The UK and every sane civilized country is welcome in the SE, but not to come and son us. The great region has all civilized world best interest in Nigeria and Africa, the criminal tribalist in power is just deceiving you guys, - he went to terrorist funding capital to go and get orders on his next move, and follow their planned playbook against powerful Christian countries.

Igbos need to up the ante of alliance, don't let the divisive hijackers in power, turn those we share over 80% ideology with, against us, because anyi a di sharp enough. Let us be mature amongst us and amongst allies. Those hateful tribalist are working overtime on our matter. They are preparing their SE traps. Be wise.


May God bless the great region and cousins
May God bless UK
May God bless the fallen soldiers of the great region and cousins, israel, USA, the UK, and other sane places in the world. Rest in paradise.

Who your issue epp?

When will your people apologize for the atrocities during slave trade? Kidnapping your fellow black man and selling it to white men.

slave trade never happened..

whyte people did not have the logistics, transportation and weaponry to carry out inter-continental slave trade.

Another thing, whyte people in that era hated black people a lot and will rather kill a black person than trade with a black person.

These are well maintained graves. I believe the military cemetery in Abuja is similarly well maintained.

I am calling out your hypocrisy. When the white man does it, you are offended but you are okay with your brother doing it. Same way most of you guys shout racism up and down when tribalism is spreading like cancer. Remove the log of wood in your eyes first.

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

there is no ethnicity called Nigerian..

Nigeria is a location created by the british..

the nations within Nigeria have their own ethnic territory and are naturally meant to protect their territory from others...

you can accuse a Nigerian of xenophobia but not tribalism...

people like you shouting tribalism are living outside their ethnic territory and try to dictate, manipulate and control the indigenes of other territories and when they oppose you and your likes you start shouting tribalism...

that's not tribalism that's protectionism.. they are protecting themselves from you.
