He was invited and he had said that he was going to attend, but he couldn't make it (I think he was out of the country or he had another engagement).

Something similar happened in the US, so someone tweeted at Abayomi Shogunle (officer commanding the police complaints response unit) and said that that kind of thing cannot happen in Nigeria.

Abayomi Shogunle responded with these pictures.

logica:
You might want to recheck those dates and positions.

Yeah, it was a typo. I wrote 1988 instead of 1998. Thanks.

Others who would have been in this choir, but are deceased are:

Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe (governor general from 1960 - 1963, president and commander in chief from 1963 - 1966).


Vice Admiral Joseph Edet Akinwale Wey (chief of staff, supreme headquarters from 1971-1975).

Admiral Augustus Aikhomu (chief of general staff from 1986 - 1991, vice president from 1991 -1993).

Vice Admiral Mike Okhai Akhigbe (chief of general staff from 1998 - 1999).

It gives me great joy to know I have made ur day.

Thanks.

Teel012:
You win, I doff my hat to u. they have more swag and they're all younger than our agbaya's (m sure our people did it for a price). That's my apology.

Hahahahaha

Teel012:
LOL . I believe u.

Very good. Now that you've said that you believe me, I can now post videos of members of other nations' armed forces singing Christmas carols and statesmen from other countries singing in a group.

I hope you won't shift the goalpost again.

Flash mob of British Army musicians surprise Christmas shoppers with Christmas carols.

Teel012:
I don't believe I have done that. I apologise for my grammatical error if it's one, but it's only fair, that they should be in a group if our own people can come together to sing in a group, that evens the playing ground

I actually have a video of them singing in a group, but the problem is that if I post it, you'll simply look for another excuse to disqualify the video (I.e shift the goalpost).

I also have lots of videos of members of the US armed forces singing Christmas carols.

Teel012:
Naptu, I'll apologise if you can show me where they gathered in a group.

There's a term called "shifting the goalpost".

Imagine that we are playing a football match and in the middle of the match I start moving my goalposts so that your strikers won't know where the goal is. Would that be fair?

In your post you used the singular term "statesman", you didn't say statesmen or statesmen gathered in a group and your question referred to having the time to do this. The number of people does not change the length of the song. So don't shift the goalpost.

Teel012:
boss, and Barack Obama, was backed by Bill Clinton, George Bush and other prominent Americans, shey?

Quoting you.

Which proper hard-working VP or a well meaning elder statesman has time to do this? If anyone can point to another country where this has happened or where there military and para-military forces came together to sing a Christmas Carol, I'll apologise publicly.

Statesman = singular. Statesmen = plural.

I'll give you another "hard working" head of state.

Bill Clinton. (Still expecting your apology).

Teel012:
This is d height of foolishness, irresponsibility, cowardice and greed from our so called elder state men and d current vice president. Which proper hard-working VP or a well meaning elder statesman has time to do this? If anyone can point to another country where this has happened or where there military and para-military forces came together to sing a Christmas Carol, I'll apologise publicly. Christians are being killed in Kaduna and our grown ups can only come to sing? It shows how they've been relegated to being figure heads, and now they have proven to d world their position. God save us.

Barack Obama

Where is Ebele Jonathan?

He was invited and he had said that he was going to attend, but he couldn't make it (I think he was out of the country or he had another engagement).

Why We Planned To Bomb 3rd Mainland Bridge- Suspect

by faaz24: 8:05am On Dec 29, 2016

faaz24:
One of the leaders of  a notorious militant group operating in Ikorodu and Arepo areas of Lagos and Ogun states, Abiodun Amos, said yesterday, that his group planned to bomb the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos because the Federal Government failed to consider its members for amnesty. The group had planned to bomb the bridge end of last month before Amos’ arrest by the Inspector-General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team, led by Abba Kyari, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, frustrated its efforts. 


“We went into bank robberies and kidnapping because we wanted to get government’s attention and all we wanted was for them to grant us amnesty and also offer us pipeline protection contract. ‘’We have made several appeals but government is not listening to us. Abiodun Amos (left), arrested over plans to blow up Third Mainland Bridge, in Lagos. ‘’General” Ossy (leader of the gang) said if we don’t blow up the Third Mainland Bridge, government will not listen to us. We had concluded plans to carry out the attack by November ending. ‘’I am the group’s explosives expert and before I was arrested we were going into the creeks to conclude plans on how to carry out the attack.” 

The suspect, also popularly known as Senti, said his group was hitherto involved in pipeline vandalism, noting that it resorted to kidnapping when it became difficult for its members to continue with the illegal business due to the presence of the military and policemen. The suspect is a 43-year-old native of  Arogbo, in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State. He was arrested by operatives of the Inspector General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team, IRT, at a river bank in Majidun area of Ikorodu, Lagos, on Monday. Two  AK-47 rifles hidden inside a bag were found with the 43-year-old suspect as Vanguard reliably gathered that additional two cartons of explosives, with the words Gelatine Dynamite inscribed on them, and detonators, were recovered from the group’s operational saloon car. 

Amos’ arrest, it was gathered, followed intelligence generated by office of the National Security Adviser to the President, NSA, on November 2, 2016, that the group had concluded plans to blow up the Third Mainland Bridge. 

Vanguard gathered that the information was passed on to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, who subsequently directed his IRT to commence investigation into the matter. During investigation by the team, it was revealed that the militants had acquired a large quantity of dynamite and several other explosives with which to carry out the dastardly act. Recall that the group in October 2016  carried out secret illegal operations like pipeline vandalism, kidnapping and bank robberies and had demanded for amnesty, threatening to disrupt economic activities within Lagos and Ogun states if the Federal Government didn’t grant their request. 

Suspected leader of the militant group, General Ossy (real names not known), had in recent times, allegedly coordinated many bank robberies and several high-profile kidnappings, including the kidnap of  three school girls at  Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School in Ikorodu; kidnap of four landlords at Isheri North Area of Lagos; abduction of  Oniba of Ibaland, Oba Goriola Oseni, among several others within Lagos and Ogun state s. ‘General’ Ossy had  boasted in an interview with Vanguard that his group has over 21 ‘generals’ commanding 7,800 battle-ready boys, adding that the group is rich enough to fight the Federal Government, having acquired thousands of arms and ammunition similar to that of the military. He said the arms would be deployed to disrupt economic activities within Lagos and Ogun states, should the Federal Government fail to dialogue with the group and grant its wish. 

Confirming the development, Force Public Relations Officer, Don Awunah, a deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, said:  “Yes, an individual was arrested. On sighting the policemen, the second suspect jumped out of his car and escaped into the bush, abandoning the operational vehicle. ‘’On searching the vehicle, two cartons  of Gelatine dynamite explosives and hundreds of detonators were recovered in the boot of the car. Efforts to arrest the remaining gang members are  in progress.” 

It’s pure insanity — Afenifere Reacting to the development, Pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, described the move as insane. Its National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, said: “It is insane for anybody to hatch such a satanic plot. To what end and in reaction to what? ‘’It is good they have been arrested .They should be properly investigated for us to know what their motive was and their likely backers.” Lagos PDP reacts In its reaction, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State, called on the state government to up its security to reduce crime rate. 

Its publicity Secretary, Mr Gani Taofik, said:  “Such a plan is evil and can’t be defended. It must be further verified to remove any doubt and if a proper fact check confirms it, those arrested must be made to face the full weight of the law. ‘’This is to now put the Lagos State government on alert to up its security. The APC government must address the economic and social injustice to reduce these angry reactions which ordinary citizens now suffer. Taking over Sambisa may now be a fluke as the Boko Haram may strategically leave there with no loss, into the cities.
