Babajide Sanwo-Olu @jidesanwoolu

It was an honour to welcome Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, Chief of Army Staff, to Lagos.

We had a productive discussion on the Army's dedication and professionalism in maintaining peace and security across Nigeria.

The Nigerian Army's commitment to upholding the constitution and safeguarding our nation's peace has not gone unnoticed. We appreciate their sacrifice and dedication in various operations across the country.

During our meeting, I requested the Army's cooperation in key areas, such as the clearing of illegal shanties on Lagos-Badagry Expressway and supporting ongoing enforcement efforts, including the Okada ban.

I also assured the Army Chief of our support in rebuilding a military primary school in Orile demolished for the construction of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.

As we move forward, collaboration among security agencies is key to maintaining safety in Lagos. Let's work together to keep our city safe for everyone.

Ok

COAS with the Governor of Eko.

Anyways a courtesy visit by NA is better than a safety promise by NPF...




Wittyness.

🤔🤔🤔😶

Another ass licking thread

Okay

Great man

Lagbaja our man! Yoruba lokan!

With your military strength and might is so shameful u r unable to defeat hunger in yoruba land. Rice bandits are having a field day in ibadan yet u r unable to defeat them.

What a shame!

Noted.

The aura is not there as the head.

Combatant soldier

Will you tell me this man is in charge of the army

There is something I'm yet to understand about the uniform of Nigerian military personnel. Why will a very high ranking officer of the force who is more or less a public figure be wearing an identity card on his uniform? Who does he need to identify himself to?

iamyemiakins:
Yoruba lagba

Does that means lagbaja or something?
Like the musician?

If so, what's yoruba lagbaja?
Just wanna know and learn

HayTerran:

Agba in Yoruba means elder, while l'agba equates to "...is (an) elder".

Thank you very much.
So r that means,, Yoruba Elders, or better still,
Yoruba are Elders or Leaders?

We gerrit now.
Thanks once more,
As for the former part,
We respect your political affiliation and do try to respect other's also.

Don't understand why the high ranking military officers still move with DSS in their convoys

ok

No wonder we are not winning the war against insurgency and Banditry.

The soldiers looks so neat,tardy and unprofessional in their approach. These ones can't risk dying for the country.

The era of patriotic and brave soldiers are gone. What we have now are Yankee swagger soldiers only after money and mansions. Corruption is the key word.

May God help us overcome the impending holocaust!

Lt General Lagbaja was not precise and decisive as Lt Gen Lamidi Adeosun for my thinking. Nevertheless, he is worthy of the position

When did military intelligence operatives become DSS operatives and why are some people always referring to them as DSS operatives?

A lot of ignorance on display.

Lol

I will comment in the morning meanwhile his boys are needed in Gaza
