W. E. B. Du Bois and wife in Nigeria at ceremonies marking the nation's independence, 1960.

Reminds me of the pictures posted by Akhenaten.

Nairaland tribalist frustrated him and he deleted all his pictures.

logic101:
Your statement reveals the tribalistic mindset in you(sad).What is the corollation between the ethnicity of the poster and the sad news that a man has just lost his life serving his country.

Thank you. I am worried about the security situation in this country.

Come up with a unique idea that no one else has thought of.

The menace of armed robberies that is found in the South-West continues to cause deaths.

Another example of how Nigeria is a failed state. Guns are everywhere.
