KingOfAmebo:
This is pure lies...the last visit by a Nigerian Government Official resulted in "Nigerians are Corrupt by the Queen of England".

🤣 Do you know the difference between a state visit, a working visit and a private visit?

There was a keyboardist that played in Fela Anikulapo-Kuti's band in the 1980s. He was young, he could play very well and he was handsome, so of course he was very popular. His name was Dele Sosimi.

When Femi Anikulapo-Kuti branched off on his own and created the Positive Force band in the late 1980s, Dele Sosimi followed him.

I saw him live when Femi Anikulapo-Kuti and the Positive Force played at Federlos Circus in 1989.

My post from July 18th, 2023

These are the course mates of the former inspector general of police, Usman Alkali Baba, being pulled out of service at the Police College, Lagos in March this year. They graduated from the Police College Kano on March 15th, 1988 (they were the first set at that college).

178 students graduated in that set, but only 15 of them were being pulled out.

I don't know why, but not all IGs have had pulling out parades.The last IG that I remember that had a pulling out parade was Mike Okiro.

The officers being pulled out include DIG Johnson Kokumo, AIG Isaac Akinmoyede, AIG Olatunji Akingbola, AIG Andrew Amengheme, AIG Amaechi Elumelu, AIG Ngozi Onadeko, AIG Eboka Friday, AIG Adesina Soyemi, AIG Ashafa Adekunle, AIG Edward Egbuka, AIG Olawale Olokode, AIG Abutu Yaro, CP Adetokunbo Owolabi and CP Selem Amachree.

Honoured to have been invited to spend the evening with His Majesty King Charles III. It was also wonderful connecting with fellow Nigerians in the United Kingdom who are doing incredible things.

My post from June 26th, 2023

That reminds of people that were making comments about parades. Every country has its own traditions, but retirement parades are quite common and regular. This is General Loyd Austin's retirement parade. General Austin was the last US general in Iraq and then he became the commander of Centcom (you might remember when I told you about the US joint combat commanders).

His joke at the beginning of his speech was because the ceremony was held in a hall due to bad weather.

I don't think a president of Nigeria has attended a pulling out parade before. Not even Bali.

bigpicture001:

Those are obviously not photos of the presidential villa. They are AI generated images of the National Assembly.

Photos of the presidential villa have been public since when Olusegun Obasanjo was president. I have posted some on Nairaland.

The pulling out parade is the last official duty of a retiring senior officer. At the end of the parade the retiring officer and his/her spouse mount the back of an open top SUV. There are two long ropes that are tied to the front of the SUV and other senior officers ceremonially "pull" the retiring officer out of the barracks.

In the Navy the retiring officer boards a vessel after being pulled out and then he sails away (sailing out parade). In the air force the retiring officer boards an aircraft (usually a helicopter) and flies away.
