Abiodun is an exceptional, qualified and diligent person!

Dedicated and upright. Loves making a name for himself.

Abiodun is close to a perfectionist

But all the same kudus to the man
First banta later

Don't politicize the military pls.

Abi o. Don’t mind the guy who doesn’t know what Yorubalokan agenda means.

Nevertheless, don’t you think that Tinubu should give Igbo people some credit for their indirect votes that gave him the chance to continue worsening APC extreme poverty shege that started 11 years ago when he made his 2011 expired Buhari into APC change messiah

Tareq1105:

How is a call for tribal equity translate into politicising the military

Are we not tribesmen who use rotation, zoning and federal character to share the national cake that is produced in the scorched earth region of Niger Delta?

edet19892015:
Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.

According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth,
1. The idiots,
2. The tribesmen, and
3. The citizens.

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.
The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.

1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word.
Idiots are people who just don’t care.
If they sit for exams, they will cheat.
If they are in government they will steal.

An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.

IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.

In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.

According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.

2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.
It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.

When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.

A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen

3. The last group are "Citizens".
These are people who like to do things the right way.
They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.

They drive within speed limits.
They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams.
In government, they won’t steal.
They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.

Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone.
The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".

Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.

A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.
And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.

But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.

Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life.
Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.

Must every discussion be surrounded around the Igbo's? Why are some of you drawing unnecessary attention to your region?

Suggest one for the Navy now.
Why not check thru other arms before making your comment.

There are but selection or appoint in this type of case requires competency and not just anyhow person subject to your quote.

From his achievement ,you will agree with me that the tribe you mentioned was part of his course mate and he still comes out first among them....

so if you are to select among a class,will you have pick the lease qualified person over the one who score excellent among is peers ?

How many degrees does Otedola have?

Was he gambling and drinking palm wine when your guy was studying

Instead of being focused on how many certificates you have, is it better to focus on what value you have added to your communities and country

Keep asking sensedevoid questions.

Is Otedola's skillet what is required for the spokesperson of the Navy.

No wonder you're stuck writing such questions on Nairaland The palm wine comment hit too close to home, eh?

Navy has chosen him because he was deemed the best for the position. Do what you can to reverse it.

That is why it is important to know History

There is nothing worse or comparable to what Nnamdi Azikiwe and the Igbos did between 1960 and 1965

Nothing
