sarrki: We need to set history straight and move on as a nation
We need to be patriotic and forgive one another
We need to stand for our nation and let the past be
We need national cohesion
We also need to know that we are one nation one country
But also need to set the record straight

kenny714433: My sec. School days. Happiest moment: The day I left my parents, rolled my box with other laugages into my school with the inscription smiling brightly at me... Welcome to Queen of Apostles Seminary. Roll call is by 6pm. I was so naive, happy and innocent.
Moment of regrets: After a week in the Seminary and I knew I was in for a military/priesthood treatment. You can imagine our rector expelling plenty students for just making noise after 6pm.
Happiest moment: Every last nights prior to mid term break or vacation. You can imagine the feelings after spending 99years in a prison and just remaining a day to complete your 100years prison term.
Best moments: Sipping garri in a bathing bucket and eating tinned fish with cold water garri with friends. Games time.
Most regretted moment: That night we sang "God be with you till we meet again" and "Sweet saviour bless us as we go". It occurred to me I have exhausted my 6yrs and I so much prayed to God to let the night stay forever. Although we were only boys, Seminary was the best place to be. You could see all SS3 students weep like children that night.
My Rector's parting words "The seminary has taught you the best it could, what she hasn't taught you, life will teach you".
I can't forget in a haste the many times we slept outside for breaking solemn silence, the many hymns and angelic voices of the seminary choir, ghost stories in the hostels which stirred fear, reading ancient books of adventure, mystery, crime, Spirits, etc from the well equipped library of St. Patrick missionaries.

The prime problem is that these footballers spent as though their careers would never end. A football career is short and most retire by the time they are 35. If you retire and you keen spending the way you did while still playing football, you'll end up broke. They can't even afford to spend up to 20% of what they were previously earning and not go broke if they have no investments
If I was to provide simple financial advise, I would say invest 60% of your post tax income every year of your professional career. Reinvestment the profits from your investment.
The safest investment is real estate. If they wanted to invest in Nigeria, they could build blocks of six bedroom flats. If a block of 6 flats is built every 2years during a 12 year career, there'd be a total of 36 flats waiting for him, bringing in 36 x 1.2m = 43.2m a year which is 100,000 pounds sterling. With such an income after retirement,
LegendHer0: He had a duty of defending his country as a soldier against disintegration as enshrined in the constitution.
He was a soldier that had to do what needs to be done coz even if it’s not Gowon it will be someone else.
You all made it look like Gowon started the war. You also made it look like the Biafran side never killed any Nigerian soldier or civilian.
C’mon it’s a war and each side had a duty to defend their own and war always lead to casualties around the world. If Ojukwu birthday can be celebrated then Gowon also should have a chance to celebrate his birthday.
