Andre Uweh: What an idiotic question you are asking here. That an elder published his memoirs of a war he witnessed is now a crime. What Prof Achebe recently published was his own reflective account of what he saw during the war. Pick up your pen and write your own memoirs, or are you too lazy to write?.
In his memoirs, he wrote about his best friend-Okigbo the poet who was felled by the bullets, his mum also died during the war etc. Everything Prof Achebe wrote was the truth. Know it now.

common boy! That everything he saw, witnessed and wrote about being the truth doesn't mean it is the Fact. History is all about fact and evidence.

Politics › Alleged N4bn Fraud: EFCC Declares Ex-gov Audu Wanted by Tolexander(op): 3:44pm On Dec 20, 2012

Former Governor of Kogi State
Abubakar Audu has been
declared wanted by the
Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) in connection
with alleged misappropriation of
the sum of N4 billion public
funds.
In a statement signed by Wilson
Uwajuren, EFCC Acting Head of
Media and Publicity yesterday,
the action was as a result of the
inability of the embattled ex-
governor to respond to
invitations sent to him.
The statement further explains
that previous attempts to arrest
Audu at his 32 Sulaiman Barau
Street residence in the highbrow
Asokoro District of Abuja failed
as “he allegedly evaded arrest”.
The EFCC had further implored
anybody “having useful
information about the
whereabouts of the suspect to
notify its offices in Abuja, Port
Harcourt, Lagos, Kano and Enugu
or report at the nearest police
station”.
The EFCC had alleged that Audu
mismanaged the funds during
his tenure as governor between
1999 and 2003.
But the ex governor, who was to
be charged with conspiracy,
stealing and misappropriation of
public funds, appealed the
allegations. The Supreme Court
in November dismissed the
appeal paving way for the
commencement of trial.
Audu had earlier denied evading
arrest, saying he had been
abroad receiving treatment for
an undisclosed ailment. His
lawyer Mike Ozhekome (SAN)
was reported to have indicated
the readiness of his client to face
trial.

Augustine CC Agundu of Army

Okwudili F. Azinta of the Joint

(Operation Pulo Shield).
And in New York, a gathering of
the Nigerian diplomatic and
military intelligence machinery in
the United States, for the
decoration-of-rank ceremony of
Commander Saburi Abayomi
Lawal promoted Navy Captain
was occasion for sober reflection
on the state of the nation’s
defense personnel.
Nigeria’s Permanent
Representative to the United
Nations (UN), Professor Joy Ogwu
said the Nigerian military needs
reinvention as well as a
sustenance of its ideology and
doctrine which enabled the
nation to pursue it’s
decolonization and Afro-centric
diplomacy successfully in the
years gone by.
Ogwu, herself a soldier’s
daughter and former teacher at
Nigeria’s military institutions
maintained that Nigerian
younger officers must navigate
through the waters of order and
rank to speak truth to power in
determining the direction of the
country’s military and it’s ability
to protect the nation’s territorial
integrity including other more
specific operations for which it
was set up.
She said: “NNS Aradu was
launched in 1982. It was a geo-
territorial flagship of our navy.
What is the state of our capability
today? Many have spoken of
deterioration of facilities. How
did it happen that South Africa
could put a military boat near our
shores over Cote d’Ivoire and we
had no response. The concept of
order should not deter you from
speaking truth to power. What
are you going to hand over to
the younger generation? Dead
operational vessels? The navy is
the guardian of our domestic
economy. What happened to the
concept of the coastal guard?
You cannot build on a vacuum.
“Our naval motto: ‘Onward
Together’, epitomizes today’s
ceremony.
I learnt many things from the
military. The working method,
discipline working order and
commitment. Today, the Nigerian
military is perhaps the last
bastion of discipline in Nigeria.
That is why I have consistently
advocated that our officers be
made ambassadors. The nation
gains from that. It is important
for us to emulate the best
practices in our system.”
Also at the event were Nigeria’s
Defense Adviser to the US , Brig-,
Lt Colonel Julius Osifo, the Consul-
General of the Nigerian Mission
in New York, Habib Habu as well
as the deputy Permanent
Representative to the UN,
Ambassador Usman Saki as well
as officers at the Mission.
Ogunewe stressed that strict
professionalism and unwavering
focus as a policy is being
implemented in such a way as
the enhance the capability of the
Charging Navy Captain Saburi
Abayomi Lawal, on the defense
of Nigeria’s interests abroad,
Deputy Permanent
Representative to the UN,
Ambassador Usman Sarki, said
the officer, who is an economist
by training, was being elevated
at the time Nigeria needs to
make progress.
“The red tab that you wear on
your shoulders carries weight.
You are representing a great
country. You have to see yourself
first as a Nigerian.
Now, the economics of all our
procurements will have to be in
place. Your knowledge will be
needed badly as we strive for
best practices in our
engagement with states as well
as in the multilateral sector such
as the UN,” he added.
The recipient promised to meet
the expectations of the nation
and the demands of future
challenges.

Excellence doesnt end in nobel prize. D classic novels of Nigeria are written by easterners. Wole is d only one dt is good, n i ask again,'wat are d relics of being d first ppl to go to school?'

anybody can term anywriter of ones choice the greatest. But it is more honourable to be given an award by the committe of professioners in the field like a nobel.

Politics › Ministers Without Remembrance Emblem Barred From FEC by Tolexander(op): 12:05pm On Dec 20, 2012

Ministers who did not wear the emblem of the 2013 Armed Forces Remembrance Day were on Wednesday denied entry into the venue for the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja by security officials.

The affected ministers were told that the directive came from President Goodluck Jonathan.

Jonathan on Thursday inaugurated the emblem at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, calling on Nigerians to proudly wear it.

According to him, wearing the emblem is a good way to appreciate the sacrifice the fallen and living heroes had made towards national development.

All ministers on the occasion were decorated with the emblem.

When those who were not wearing theirs were stopped from entering the venue, others made frantic efforts to get them from workers in the Villa who had theirs on so that they could attend the meeting.

However, the Minister of State, Defence, Olusola Obada, saved the situation when she arrived with more emblems for the ministers.

Some of them who managed to enter the venue without emblems were seen quickly fixing the ones provided by Obada to their dresses before the President entered the hall.

At last, all ministers who came for the meeting were allowed to attend.

However, the meeting was dedicated to the victims of the Saturday’s helicopter crash in Bayelsa State. Jonathan ordered that ministers must wear their emblems for one month.

The President said, “Ministers are hereby directed to wear the Armed Forces Remembrance emblem for one month. We shall wear it up until January 15, 2013 when activities for the remembrance would have been concluded.”

“If you do not wear it to your offices, just make sure you keep money inside your bag to buy another one.”
