MrMcJay:
As a retired Colonel, Dasuki is now a civilian therefore, it is criminal for him to be found in possession of a rifle.

You are correct, but even if he is still serving and not retired, possessing the calibre of weapons found with him is still unlawful. A serving Colonel once told me that many of his colleagues possess unlicensed pistols, not because it is legitimate, but simply because no policeman will question them if found with it.

Any reasonable judge or even a lazy one will strike out this suit for being a big joke

Why, please explain

hassan85:
you always talk like an educated illiterate. yes he was charged. y didn't he indicate it on the handover note? use ur brain

My brother, he couldn't even have indicated it because he has no right to possess such arms even if he is a serving general. The notion that he has the right to posses those weapons because he was a soldier is premised on the wrong belief by most Nigerians that soldiers have the right to buy and own guns, while civilians are forbidden. Most Nigerians don't even know that some of the assault rifles they see with soldiers on duty are not the personal possessions of those soldiers, and must be submitted as soon as the duty is over.

chukwudi44:
You charge a retired army Colonel and someone who was NSA barely 48 hours after leaving office for illegal possession of firearms!!! how dumb can a government get. Even a 100 level law student will have this case thrown out

It's unfortunate that a lot of Nigerians are ignorant of gun laws in Nigeria. Lots of people think that as a soldier, you can just walk into a gun shop and buy arms. I remember a serving Colonel once told me that even a serving General has no legal right to possess unlicensed arms, but most of his colleagues now possess unlicensed arms because nobody will question them if found with a gun since they are soldiers. Anyway, the DSS is not ignorant of the law regarding possession of arms in Nigeria (Dasuki himself knows that the law forbids him from possessing the kind of arms found with him), that's why they have charged him.

Who invited Dino Melaye?? And hope he dint fight there?

Don't forget that a bodyguard must always be by the side of his boss

OrlandoOwoh:
Obasanjo was the senior of Murtala Muhammed, even with the double promotion the latter received in 1966.

Yes, Obasanjo was his senior, but the moment you become the commander-in-chief, you have become the supreme commander

nikkiking:
What do you think @0p?

He's smart, fragile and always looking forward to seeing how things are going to be.

Boss mine .

Fragile or agile?

General Obasanjo in a commander's posture. He looks like the one in charge in this photograph.

Freksy:
Impliedly, that means anything practiced in the church today is correct, provided it is the current practice. Hmmm... not so, bros.



The onus is rather yours to prove that your stance has scriptural reference. The lack of it will vindicate my position.

You were the one who controverted someone's point by alluding that the portrait of Pontius Pilate was not displayed in the temple, ostensibly because it's wrong to do so (I don't know how you got to know that, but it could be so). My argument is that if the portrait of Pilate wasn't displayed in the temple, we can't be sure it's because it was wrong to do so. Remember no body was doing that then, whether it's a church or government institution. So even if it's not wrong to display Pilate's portrait in the temple, they still would not do that because displaying a leader's pic in public offices is a modern day idea. Moreover, President Buhari's photo is not in the temple (church), even the bishop's and pastor's pics are not displayed in the church. The president's pic is on display in the reception of the office, and the office is used for administrative purposes.

Chuknovski:
that's what is obtainable in all winners churches,its in recognition of any Gcfr

Yeah, correct

Freksy:
Recognized by doing what, hanging a portrait of Pontius Pilate in the temple?

Was it a practice to hang the official portraits of heads of state during the time of Pontius Pilate. What Living Faith did is the currency today. I am receptive to learning, so I am waiting for you to point out any government and public institutions that hanged the portraits of heads of states in the days of antiquity. If you did that, then I will accept your point

Freksy:
Pontius Pilate was the Roman governor of Judea during Jesus’ earthly ministry. (Lu 3:1)

Can anyone imagine Jesus having a portrait of this Caesar hung behind him while giving sermons in the temple?

Caesar things should be left in the house of Caesar.

What I am seeing there is a symbolic woman wooing the wild beast(s) - a union that can be described as spiritual fornication.

Today, many places of worship are not only houses of commerce, but of parliament.

This is done in recognition of state authority, which our Lord Jesus also did recognize

nerodenero:
Did PMB release an official picture wearing a muslim outfit?

Appropriate

jeremiah505:
They do have a choice... Not to put the president's photo... It not a government agency remember?...

The portrait is just there for acknowledgment that's all...

You are absolutely correct

Ernieman:
Are You The Keeper of Okija Shrine? I gat My Eyes on You son....Ritualists must all be wiped out from the surface of Nigerian Soil.

You gave him the appropriate response

David0:
When u seek favour from d presido, u got do dis to b on his good side.

They are not seeking for favor from anyone. It's just patriotism

Neyo230:
It's a normal practice bin the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria. God bless PMB! God bless Nigeria

Yes, I know. But it's not the usual practice in churches

MrRobot:
Those that look like a church to you. Mumu?

So what is it, if it is not a church?

pegolala:
change in the church. he even looks like a pastor.

Yeah

Pic: Living Faith Church Now Displays The Portrait Of President Buhari In Office


.It is quite common across Nigeria to find photographs of the Head of State on display in public organizations and institutions. When Goodluck Jonathan was president, his photographs were on display in most offices of large Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel). This was an official practice. After General Buhari was declared the winner of the last presidential election, I was wondering if the leadership of my church would display Buhari's photo in our offices, considering that Buhari is a Muslim, and Living Faith is a church. I got a pleasant surprise recently when I went to the office of Living Faith Church, Life Camp, Abuja, and I saw President Buhari's picture hung on the wall along with our Bishop's and pastor's pic. What a nice gesture. The leadership of Living Faith Church is truly patriotic.

chi4ik4:
pls keep this your disgusting pix to yourself. I may stop eating chicken because of this.!!!!

Honesty, the pic is disgusting, and I don't even know the meaning of it's posting

zendy:
I meant those in the picture. To the best of my knowledge, IBB is the only one in this picture still alive

I think Kure and Duba are still alive. I am not sure of Haladu

cescky:
Liitle did they know they'd grow up killing eachother

Correct, I am sure if someone had told them then that they would later kill each other, they would be sure that person was non compos mentis

blac2yte:
My dream profession...

God will help you to realize it

RockMaxi:
How the one on the right died in the administration of the one on the left is still a mystery.

He was accused of plotting a coup

omojoshy:
Hmmmmmmmm like friends, like foes these guys never trusted themselves.

The mistrust began when they were becoming senior officers

Swaggzkid:
Don't know all of them ooo *


Are all of them alive

Babangida, Kure and some are still alive. But Vatsa, Dimka, and Bako are dead. They all died under circumstances connected to coup

Tonniey:
Pls give us photos of the gallant soldiers in the north east battling insurgents, no old men who Neva contributed something good to this nation

You have a point, just that the 'old men' too were once like the gallant soldiers battling insurgents in the North East. Their own battle was the Biafran war. The gallant men battling insurgents in the North East now will also become 'old men' one day, just as these ones are now

armadeo:
Boys before they became men. Little Did they know that they would seek each others a blood one day.

This life the only thing you are sure of us yourself.

The complexity of life

kenedy175:
And they killed themselves because of power

Correct. Because of conflict of interest

zendy:
All of them were commissioned were as officers of the Nigerian Army in 1963.

All of them were Northerners

All of them were criminals in Army uniform

Not all of them were Northerners. Maj. Gens. Charles Ndiomu, Solomon Omojokun, and Paul Omu were also their cousemates.

Midehi:
see how they look like
