@naptu , why did they bench our ADC in the first picture?

what are the functions of the two ADC's of the Moroccan monarch?
How many times have the two countries exchange visits in the past?

What is the importance of this visit?

Right to left: Buhari's ADC, the king's Moroccan ADC, the king's Nigerian ADC. (Buhari's ADC wasn't "benched", it's just the angle at which the picture was taken).

In the past we only provided ADCs to visiting heads of state that do not bring their own ADCs, but in recent times that has changed, sometimes creating confusion between the visiting ADC and the ADC provided by the Nigerian Army.


I don't know how many times the two countries have exchanged visits, but the king has been here before. His father, King Hassan II sent him to deliver a letter to President Shagari in 1980.

I suspect that one of the reasons the King is here is to lobby for support on the question of Western Sahara (aka Sahrawi Republic).



(What I'm about to write is taken straight from my memory, so you should cross check to see if there are any errors) Western Sahara was colonised by Spain, but the Spaniards withdrew from the territory in the 1970s. Morocco then invaded the place and claimed it for itself. However, the people of Western Sahara wanted to govern themselves, so they fought a long war of independence with Morocco. The Organisation of African Unity (OAU, now AU) declared that the Western Saharans should be allowed to decide if they want to rule themselves (via a referendum). Morocco left the OAU as a result of this resolution. Since then there has been both a military and propaganda war between the two sides.




Representatives of the Sahrawi Republic recently met President Buhari and the president restated Nigeria's long held view that the people of Sahrawi Republic should be allowed to decide what they want for themselves.

28 years later. He and his brother declared Maroc '88 open and while we were talking about the football, the girls in the house couldn't stop talking about how handsome the princes were.

He was Major Hamza Al-Mustapha's lawyer at the Oputa Panel in 2000/2001. I love what he and Al-Mustapha did to Yomi Tokoya.

This is a regular occurrence in catholic churches. The church pays for the wedding, including the reception, which is usually held in the church hall.

It's usually done for people who want to get married, but can't afford the wedding, people who have been living together for a long time without getting married (some of whom might already have children), etc.

And so on and so forth.

They have resurfaced much of Admiralty Way, from Freedom Way to the roundabout before the bridge. They are resurfacing it with interlocking paving stones. The work is being done in sections.
They are also rebuilding the little bridge over the canal at the junction of Freedom Way and Admiralty Way, so motorists have to do a u-turn and take Emmanuel Abimbola Cole Street to get to Admiralty Way from Freedom Way.

This reconstruction is needed, particularly at the section between Ebeano and Freedom Way (Ebeano-Cold Stone - Laura Ikeji - Nepa - Nitel) which has been in bad shape for years.

However, there's a potential problem. They've reconstructed the road in such a way that it is much higher than the sidewalk, so some motorists are now using the sidewalk as an extra lane, thereby endangering pedestrians. The walkway used to be much higher than the road.

I'll try and take pictures later today.

I've finally found it. He later became one of Fela's saxophonists. I've just discovered that he passed away earlier this year.
