Mekateka: ONE of President Goodluck Jonathan’s
Campaign groups, Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) Monday tongue lashed the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the opposition party as a product of political nincompoops and scallywags.


Reacting to a statement credited to the National Publicity Secretary of APC, Lai Mohammed, TAN director of publicity and public affairs, Dr. Udenta O. Udenta, noted that castigation of TAN nationwide zonal rallies by the APC were what he termed, “a classic example of the Talibanization
of Nigeria’s political discourse space”.

Nigerian Civil War
Benjamin Adesanya Maja Adekunle (26 June 1936 – 13 September
2014) was a Nigerian Army leader.
Early years and background
Adekunle was born in Kaduna. His father was a native of Ogbomosho ,
while his mother was a member of the Bachama tribe. He underwent
secondary education at the government college, Okene (in present
day Kogi State ). He enlisted in the Nigerian Army in 1958 shortly
after completing his school certificate examinations. He passed the
army selection examinations and thereafter was despatched to the
Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the UK, the British Army's
initial officer entry academy. He was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant
on December 15, 1960. As a platoon commander, he served in Kasai
Province of Congo with the 1st Battalion, Queen's Own Nigeria
Regiment during his first ONUC UN peace keeping tour of duty. In
1962, Lt. Adekunle became Aide-de-Camp to the governor of the
eastern region, Sir Akanu Ibiam. The following year, as a Captain , he
was posted back to the Congo as Staff Captain (A) to the Nigerian
Brigade HQ at Luluabourg - under Brigadier B. Ogundipe. In 1964,
Major Adekunle attended the Defence Services Staff College at
Wellington, in India . When he returned he was briefly appointed
Adjutant General at the Army Headquarters in May 1965 to replace
Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon , who was proceeding on a course outside the
country. However, he later handed over the position to Lt. Col. James
Pam and was posted back to his old Battalion (1st Bn) in Enugu as a
Company Commander .
Nigerian Civil War
Adekunle later assumed command of the Lagos Garrison as a
substantive Lt. Col. When the Nigerian Civil War erupted in July
1967, Adekunle was tasked to lead elements which included two new
battalions (7th and 8th) - to conduct the historic sea borne assault
on Bonny in the Bight of Benin on 26 July 1968 (carried out by
Major Isaac Adaka Boro 's unit). This happened after the federal
government gained confidence of most south western ethnic groups
as a direct result of Biafran push to mid-west state and probe into
Western region. Adekunle was promoted to Colonel after the Bonny
landing.
The 6th (under Major Jalo) and 8th (under Major Ochefu) battalions
of the Lagos Garrison subsequently took part in operations to
liberate the Midwest following the Biafran invasion of August 1967.
The 7th (under Major Abubakar) stayed behind to hold Bonny.
Because Major Jalo's Unit was seconded to Lt. Col. Murtala
Mohammed 's 2nd Division, Adekunle was left with only the 8th
Battalion at Escravos . He, therefore, protested to Army HQ and got
the Lagos garrison upgraded to Brigade status through the creation
of the 31 and 32 Battalions (under Majors Aliyu and Hamman,
respectively). This formation, combined with elements of the Lagos
garrison along the eastern seaboard, was officially designated the 3
Infantry Division .[1] However, Colonel Adekunle did not think the
name "3 Infantry Division" was sensational enough nor did it project
the nature of the unique terrain in which his men had to fight.
Therefore, without formal approval from Army HQ , he renamed it
the " 3 Marine Commando (3MCDO)." The "Black Scorpion" as he
came to be known, was easily the most controversial, celebrated and
mythologized figure [citation needed] in the war of attrition that laid
the foundations for Nigeria's contemporary crisis; and threw a wedge
into the national fabric. Benjamin "Adekunle's boys in the Midwest
seized Escravos, Burutu, Urhonigbe, Owa and Aladima. They captured
Bomadi and Patani, Youngtown, Koko, Sapele, Ajagbodudu, Warri,
Ughelli, Orerokpe, Umutu and Itagba". [2]
Role after the civil war
Benjamin Adekunle was promoted to Brigadier in 1972. After the war
Adekunle was put in charge of decongesting the Lagos port that was
having a chronic problem of clearing imported goods. He held this
position until being compulsorily retired on August 20, 1974.
He attributed his problems during and after the war to his rivals in
the army. In various interviews, he said there was always a rumor of
coup linked to him until the army authority felt the concern to do
something about it. He had large followings in both the army and
public at large and was the most popular military commander during
the war, apart from Obasanjo, who succeeded him and brought the
war to an end with the same 3MC.
Adekunle led the Third Marine Commando Division with such great
panache and determination that the foreign media, in looking for a
human angle on the Biafran war, found him a ready source of news.
Adekunle was a key champion of the food blockade to Biafra. In a
wartime interview he had with Randolph Baumann of Stern Magazine
in Igweocha (published on August 18, 1968), he stated: [3]
ADEKUNLE: In the section of the front that I rule—and that is the
whole south front from Lagos to the border of Kamerun—I do not
want to see the Red Cross, Caritas Aid, World Church delegation,
Pope, Missionary, or UN delegation.
STERN: Does that mean that the many thousands of tons of food that
are stored in Lagos will never get to the refugee camps in your
section of the country?
ADEKUNLE: You are a sharp one, my friend. That’s exactly what I am
saying.
STERN: But you said yourself that most of the refugees in the part
you captured are not Ibos.
ADEKUNLE: But there could be Ibos among them. I want to avoid
feeding a single Ibo as long as this whole people have not given up
yet.
STERN: Do you sometimes feel sympathy for the Ibos?
ADEKUNLE: I have learned a word from the British, which is “sorry”!
That’s how I want to respond to your question. I did not want this
war but I want to win this war. Therefore I have to kill the Ibos.
Sorry! The End.
Adekunle's son wrote an account of his father's military career in a
biography titled The Nigeria-Biafra Letters: A Soldier's Story.
He died on 13 September 2014. [4] in fact this man really deserve this from federal gover

ChinoElects: Over the past few months I have received so much pressure to contest for a seat in the State House of Assembly. But yesterday it got a major boost when one of the foremost party patrons gave me a call requesting that I give it a shot. I told him how financially unprepared I am to stomach the huge financial outlay associated with electioneering campaigns..his exact words were- I should not bother!

Though as a popular grass root man I never knew I was this popular amongst the people particularly my immediate constituency who saw my positive efforts so far.

As the election draws nearer I seek to inform this house that I may be going for an elective office and for that reason I may be out of NL for as long as I am in the State House. Though I will be showing my presence sparingly to get abreast of new developments. I will be a bridge builder between Nairaland and people in the corridors of power.

I will make further consultations before I finally decide whether to run or not. None the less I need your support morally and all to see to the fruition of this project.

Thank you

- Chino

CARDINAL JAMES OMOLAJA ODUNMBAKU.
Cardinal James Omolaja Odunmbaku, has dismissed insinuations that
he is leaving the party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He
said he has no such plan even as denied that former Governor of the
state, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is seriously ill.
Odunmbaku who has been on medical vacation abroad returned to
the state on Wednesday, 10th September, 2014. Speaking at a press
conference on Thursday, 11th September, 2014, the APC leader said
he spent the last two days with Tinubu in London where “he’s doing
well, hale and hearty.”
He revealed that Tinubu and himself had long discussions about how
to position the party ahead of the 2015 general elections to ensure
success at the polls.
Accordng to him, “I would like you to know that I spent the last two
days with our indefatigable and revered leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu, the Jagaban of Africa in London. He is hale and hearty and
very fit. He will soon be among us.
We discussed on how to fashion out some strategies about how our
party can excel in the coming general elections.”
Debunking the rumour that he (Odunmbaku) had parted ways with
Tinubu and the Governor of the State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf
Aregbesola, the Deputy State Chairman of APC declared at the press
conference attended by several party faithful, that the rumour was an
outright figment of imagination of those looking for the downfall of
APC.
He said the relationship between him and the duo remains solid.
“Couple of weeks ago, I was not in good state of health and had to
take time off. I know there had been a lot of rumours flying around. I
wish to reiterate that today, I am a member of our great party and a
member of the Governing Advisory Committee and still remains the
Deputy State Chairman of APC Lagos”, Odunmbaku explained.
He disclosed that he led an army of prayer warriors to Ile-Ife, Osogbo
and Ede in Osun during the electoral campaigns of Governor
Aregbesola despite his health condition then.
Odunmbaku thanked Lagosians for their support and unwavering love
for the party through the years.
He, however, solicited for their unflinching support for the party
during the coming general elections in the country.

this humiliation is too much they should keep queit southern Nigeria peoples assembly am never hear such name before this is a fake news

mugabe idolt hypocrite President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, has taken a swipe on Nigeria,
labeling the country and her citizens as corrupt. He made the remark
during his 90th birthday luncheon hosted by the service chiefs and the
public commission.
Mugabe said Zimbabweans are now almost behaving like Nigerians who
have to be corruptly paid for every service.
“Are we now like Nigeria where you have to reach your pocket to get
anything done,” he said. “You see we used to go to Nigeria and every
time we went there we had to carry extra cash in our pockets to
corruptly pay for everything. You get into a plane in Nigeria and you
sit there and the crew keeps dilly dulling without taking off as they
wait for you to pay them to fly the plane,” said the president followed
by a huge laugh from the delegates attending his birthday bash.
The current corruption rankings in the world rank Zimbabwe’s
corruption a lot worse than Nigeria. Nigeria is ranked 163 worst
corrupt country in the world while Zimbabwe is an embarrassing 170
third from the bottom.
The report was carried by Bulawayo24 News, based in Zimbabwe.
