Pass Out Parade Of The NDA Course 4 Regular Cadets In 1971( Picture ) by Racoon(op): 6:07pm On Jan 20

A passing-out parade photo of the 4th Regular Course of the Nigerian Defence Academy, taken 58 years ago.

In front of the standing cadets is one of the indigenous commandants of the NDA in the early post independence Nigeria, Major General David Ejoor (Rtd), along with other principal officers of the Academy.

The Regular Course 4 graduated in 1971. Cadet officer Ogbomo won all prizes in academics and military, including the sword of honour, gold and silver wares five in all.

That record has not been broken to this day. Officer Cadet Ogboma; standing middle row first from left.

Nigeria's problems started because Nigerians believe the lie that selling resources and raw materials is what makes a nation rich.

That is the genesis of our problems.

Lol.

The point is, we could have been earning ten time what we are earning if we were using our resources to make goods the world needs.

The trillions and billions? Some of it went to corruption, but most of it went to projects and importation. And it is not enough .

Note that I didn't deny corruption exists . But the corruption itself is a product of the kind of economy we run. Selling and sharing money is going to promote stealing . Producing for our life won't.

An impressive list of easily recognizable Army officers.

I know all of them (they all rose to senior positions) from the General Buhari to the IBB/Abacha military dictatorship years.

General David Ejoor the former Governor of the old Midwest region is the only person I can recognize there.
He died about 6 years ago.
Some of them made up Gallant and notable Generals, unlike the business men Generals we do have now carrying pot belly allover Abuja.
Rest in Peace 🕯️ to those who have died.
