I think we should all live by this code: Honor God, Love your woman, and defend your country

God bless Nigeria

Thank God that till now, World War 3 has never and will never happen.
With the Gulf war and so many threats by some crazy dictatorial leaders, the so called world super powers, the world must continue to live peacefully.
North & South Korea, USA, Russia & China, let's hope they will continue to have good leaders , that understand what peace is all about.
We are already in World War 3 for your information.
Look at the world. Can you say any part is peaceful? From sucide bombing, mass shooting, bokoharam kiliing, mass migration, wild fires in california, youth unemployment, corruption of leaders, syrian, jordan, libya, iran..
Or maybe you thought devil will ring bell - gbagan-gbagan, so we can know that war has started? All that remains now, is for one superpower to fire nuclear missial and that will just end the whole thing.

1. Love God with all your heart.
2. Love your neighbour as yourself. These are the two greatest commandments. You cannot separate them.
God gave us the command. Jesus confirmed it.

In this cold world, many have neglected the true commandment of God, and men are so full of hate that they kill their neighbors rather than show love.

We just got involved in another country's wars. End of. No recognition, no nothing. Our numbers were used as cannon fodder nothing more. It pains me that even till today, if WW3 sets, the same scenario may play again.
I read one history book written by the Brits in the '70s and there was NO MENTION of the contribution Africa had to the war. But trust them to take all the glory for themselves :
"Only Britain stood against the might of Germany and their allies."

Only God knows.
There's a video game about that though . Name's Wolfenstein. But seriously Earth would have been 'purged' by now. No Jews, No Blacks, No Arabs, No Latinos, No Asians just Aryans. Or maybe they'd pack all other races and dump all of them in Africa.

The events of over 100 years ago brought about alignment and realignment which resulted into formation of Nigeria.

I didn't really know Nigeria was this involved in either of the World Wars

The ceremony has begun.

The religious part of the ceremony is led by the Bishop of London (Anglican Communion). There are also representatives of other Christian denominations and other faiths (Muslims, Jews, etc.).

BBC World Service Radio is currently playing clips of soldiers that fought in the war.


Members of the Royal Family will take their place just before 11am.

The Foot Guards bands play Rule Britannia


(It's a more sombre Rule Britannia than what is usually played, for example, at the Last Night of the Proms).
