FROM BARRACK BOYS TO GENERALS: PROUD SONS OF A RETIRED MASTER WARRANT OFFICER IN THE NIGERIAN ARMY INSPIRING STORY FROM ENUGU STATE!

Meet the remarkable brothers Major General Valentine Uzochukwu Okoro and Major General Evaristus Ifeanyi Okoro from Igugu community, Udenu LGA.

They were true barrack boys who grew up as sons of a retired Master Warrant Officer and respected community leader. Raised in the disciplined environment of military barracks, they imbibed values of hard work, patriotism, and excellence from a young age. Today, through sheer dedication and outstanding service, both are Major General in the Nigeria Army.

Maj Gen Valentine Uzochukwu Okoro: A seasoned commander who previously led Nigeria's two largest and most prestigious divisions – GOC 1 Division (Kaduna) and GOC 2 Division (Ibadan). His leadership focused on troop welfare, professionalism, and operational success.

Maj Gen Evaristus Ifeanyi Okoro: Currently serving as the Military Secretary (Army), a powerful administrative role overseeing personnel matters for the entire Nigerian Army.

These brothers' journeys from humble barracks roots to the pinnacle of military leadership show what's possible with determination and integrity.

They continue to serve actively, inspiring countless young Nigerians, especially barrack boys to dream big and serve the nation.

Tinubu is in a big mess currently .. It’s turn by turn

Those of you who are applauding Trump on Moduro should think of France on Traore. When a dangerous precedent is set, you may have copycats.

What is the fate of other Anti Western African socialist revolutionaries who seized power via coups and drove away western companies from their countries?

Before you support injustice against the person you don’t like,think of the same treatment on the person you like.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it is certain Nigerians will vote President Bola Tinubu in 2027, describing his first term as one of the most outstanding in the nation’s history.

In a statement on Monday, APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, defended the administration’s record in response to recent criticism from former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai.

He dismissed El-Rufai’s August 2 comments in Sokoto where the ex-governor labelled Tinubu’s administration incompetent, clannish, and undeserving of a second term

The APC argued that El-Rufai and his allies in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have no credible alternative to Tinubu’s economic reforms, including fuel subsidy removal and foreign exchange unification policies also promised by Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi during the 2023 elections.

“If they detest these reforms as much as they claim, why have they not proposed restoring subsidy and multiple exchange rates, and explained how to fund the massive deficit it would create?” the party queried. He stressed that the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda has “fundamentally repositioned” the country for growth and progress.

The party listed progress in agriculture, infrastructure, oil production, military modernisation, student loans, and economic stability as evidence of the administration’s achievements so far.

The statement reads in part, “With a steady rebound in our economy and other indicators of verifiable progress in all sectors, including the ongoing revolution in agriculture; a high-performing stock exchange market; improved power generation and transmission; increased oil production at nearly 1.8 mbpd; consistent trade surpluses; unprecedented infrastructural development – with 420 roads and bridges underway; strategic retooling of our military capabilities with 49 advanced aircraft; unprecedented NELFUND for students, with fast declining inflation and rising consumer confidence, and more, El-Rufai’s verdict of “poor governance and failed leadership” falls flat as no more than the rants of an inconsolable sulker.

According to the APC, these reforms and achievements would move Nigerians to vote Tinubu in the 2027 general election. “Nigeria is witnessing an era of visionary and transformational leadership under President Bola Tinubu.

“We are confident that Nigerians will sustain their support for our great party and renew President Tinubu’s mandate come 2027, to consolidate on what now looks to be the most outstanding first-term record of achievement of any president in our nation’s history,” Morka said.
