Oladipo Diya Celebrates His 73rd Birthday Today by lalasticlala(mod): 8:04am On Apr 03, 2017
Donaldson Oladipo Diya (born 3 April 1944) is a retired Lt. General in the Nigerian Army. He was appointed Military Governor of Ogun State from January 1984 to August 1985. As Chief of the General Staff, he was the de facto Vice President of Nigeria during the Sani Abacha military junta from 1994 until he was arrested for treason in 1997. His Principal Staff Officer during this period was Bode George, who went on to have a stormy career with the People's Democratic Party after democracy was restored in 1999.

Sometimes we stand in the compound of a coward and point to the ruins of where a strong man once lived.

Re: Oladipo Diya Celebrates His 73rd Birthday Today by tunderay(m):
Some people are born hater. Just to wish the man a happy birthday they are calling him a coward. I wonder if they know what it takes to be a soldier, talkess of risen to the position of a General ?

If not that this is a faceless forum, you would have seen how much of a coward they are.

Happy birthday Sir. LLNP
