Late brigadier wellington was the first commissioned officer of the Nigerian army.he was commissioned 2 months before aguiyi ironsi and ademulegun were commissioned.I think his no was NA1 and WA1.he was senior to ironsi by a few months just as buhari was senior to ibb and abacha and they never overtook him in rank.how did ironsi become a major general before wellington? As the most senior officer in Nigerian army,the British general was supposes to handover to him when they left.what really happened? Oga metaphysical,you will be needed here.

He is indeed Wellington Umo Bassey N/1. My father. And he was a Lt. Col as Brigade Commander, 1st Brigade, Kaduna. Fellow officers used to call him Duke (from his name Wellington, as in Duke of Wellington). He retired as a Lt Col. and was post-humously promoted to Brig Gen. Ironsi was N/2. My suspicion, although it was never a view my father held is that being from a minority tribe (Ibibio) had implications on how his promotion went. But, these things happen in the Army.

Tinubu set the ball rolling when he appointed him in 2007 regardless of many years he spent under Tinubu, but Fashola retained him and he served for 8 full years under Tinubu, Fashola and Tinubu pushed for his current appointment in Abuja.


Simple.

Sounds like Telematch?
I think the programme involved contestants from different German cities competing against themselves??

Or could it be the Benny Hill show??
The horn riff sounds like something Benny Hill used on his comedy sketches?
