Poppies are sold from around a month before Remembrance Day to raise money for veterans. Some veterans have medical issues as a result of their military service while others have difficulties adjusting to normal life after they leave the service. The funds that are raised from the sale of poppies helps the veterans to cope with these issues.

In Nigeria the poppies have been replaced with the Remembrance Day emblem.

Football managers, television stars, politicians and regular people usually begin wearing the poppies weeks before Remembrance Day.


The Last Post (the military bugle call that symbolises the end of a day or the end of a life) will be played before Premier League matches today.

Here is a video of the Last Post at the Emirates Stadium a few years ago.

you're very wrong.

Naptu2 is a person suffering from slave mentality and is paid to ensure other Nigerians continue to suffer from slave and colonial mentality..

that's why he is not asking why Nigerian soldiers fought in a war that had nothing to do with them when the british had their own british people and soldiers they could call on to help them fight war...

Much of what the excellent Naptu2 presents is devoid of views - it is simply naked information - often of the kind that thoughtful people reflect upon. Please do not presume that this fine poster does not possess his views on the subjects you raise - and on much much more. What he has done here however, is simply present information for reflection, as is his wont.

In 2018, Prince Charles (as he then was) laid a wreath at the National Cemetery, Abuja, to mark 100 years since the end of World War 1. Among the guests at the occasion was General Tukur Buratai, the then Nigerian Chief of Army Staff, whose father fought in the Second World War.

Picture 1: Prince Charles (as he then was) and the then Nigerian Minister of Defence, Brigadier General Mansur Dan Ali. Prince Charles wore both the British Poppy and the Nigerian Remembrance Emblem.

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.

....

bwahahahaha....

uk that helped nigeria to beat the shitt out of you in the biafran war....??
the same uk....??

Thank God they are now wise. They just need to also help us too with toys. Which the great region can modify.


By the time the next all out is over, if you see any standing building for your tribalist side, make you praise God. The SE is not attached to those yet, the SE should be ready to loose it all. All the SE needs are ways to sustain their own offensives. From 200million, down to 20000, is not a bad win, if the igbos in that are 10k.

The great region is not a terrorist ethnic cleansing people, but the great region will not shy away from defending its tribe. The UK or other civilizations, can see that we are their natural allies in Nigeria, not islamics fraud like the Nigerian hijackers.

May God bless all non terrorist people and their regions and countries.

Age 20, Age 23. Hmmmm.

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

“Touch of a white man”?

Asokoro, Abuja is well manicured and maintained.

It’s black people that live there.

Ikoyi is well manicured and maintained.

It’s black people that live there.

Banana island is well manicured and maintained.

It’s black people that live there.

It is about WEALTH and CLASS, not skin colour.

If you go to poorer parts of cities in the western world, the white residents don’t ‘manicure’ their gardens if they have any.

They don’t give a damn.

You will see cigarette stubs all over the place and even empty beer cans.

The most they’ll do is cut the grass when it grows too high.

Interesting thread.

the topic is about a cemetery. why is the entire Yaba cemetery not like the portion where the British buried their dead?

is it wealth and class that made the British part of the cemetery different from the other parts of Yaba cemetery?

is it wealthy people that the British people buried in Yaba cemetery?

what has "wealth and class" got to do with how the British take care of their dead many years after they are buried?

pls define "wealth and class".

So relevant that whoever he campaigns for is guaranteed to lose, even in his own neighbouring state.

Na only Obi campaign for the candidate abi?

Look for someone else to deceive abegi

Not all soldiers were buried there. My grandpa fought in WW2 at Burma but was buried in our hometown. They should send his own flower too

Of course it is wealth.

And wealth gives class.

Do you know what the UK’s annual budget is?

2 TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.

For a population of 60 million.

When you have that kind of money coming in, your taste and classy outlook will rise, as a country.

Nigeria’s annual budget is $40 billion for 220 million people.

It’s a pittance for the type of prim and proper services you are demanding.

The cost of keeping the garden looking nice will always be an issue for us, for now.

We just need to keep growing the economy and expanding away from oil, because that oil money is tiny for our population.

lexy2014 has serious anti-black sentiments and is not someone you should engage in anything as he would continue to quote you endlessly with irrelevant, dull and dumb things..

avoid such people for your own peace of mind and quote them once.

To remind us of their colonization. When will Nigeria have the guts to cut off this colonial bastards

Naptu2 is the evil fellow not me and I will quote anytime I want to....

thunder is the sound you hear when its raining.. thunder cannot fire anyone.

It is lightning that can strike someone.. it is the blue light you see striking down from the sky..

there is a difference between thunder and lightning.

😂😂😂 Wise man
But I think you are wrong, the guy's post is neutral.

I JUST TOLD YOU WHAT THE UK ANNUAL BUDGET IS.

THEY CAN AFFORD TO SPEND ON BEAUTIFICATION AND MAINTENANCE ON ANYTHING THEY WANT.

DO YOU ALSO WANT TO KNOW THEIR INCOME PER CAPITA?

Mumu.

Oh sure, it is their “white skin colour” that mysteriously, magically makes them love nice gardens.

Is that what you want to hear?

Dumbass, stupid slave.
