Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Nigerian Army retires 11 Generals

Dear Farooq:

See below: "This is more than a mere failure of leadership, we are incapable of leadership.”— Ikhide

Is this any different from "Radio Biafra's  ignorant negrophobia”? The extreme and self denigrating rhetoric of Radio Biafra certainly does not necessarily marginalize it or render it repulsive to its target audience.

The intellectual dishonesty around here is equal opportunity, the corruption, the rot is deep and dyed in the wool of our so-called thinkers.

I mean, how some people can look themselves in the mirror after typing ethnic nonsense in the name of "objectivity" amazes me. How in the world would you look at that list and not wonder? Why are you like this? SMH

Anything about Nigeria has to be read in ethnic terms? Aba? Is your point that the Yoruba names suggests something?

Check what they did/did not do before you raise your ethnic flag!

Does anyone know why the soldiers were retired? It is useful information. Even a cursory read of the soldiers’ names raises an unsettling suspicion of imbalance, given past antecedents that followed regime change .

Nigerian Army retires 11 Generals

Eleven generals of the Nigerian Army Ordinance Corps were on Friday, July 24, retired from service.

The officers who were retired in Lagos, include eight Major-Generals and three Brigadier-Generals.

The Major-Generals are Manhood Yerima, Abiodun Amao, Olayemi Abidoye, Boniface Azurunwa, Adekunle Martin’s, Christian Ugwu, Bode Ogini and Mashudy Adekanye while the Brigadier-Generals are Kachallah, Godfrey Nwafor and Gabriel Oladipo.

In a valedictory speech, Maj.-Gen. Manhood Yerima, former Chief of Training and Operations, Defence Headquarters, appreciated their service.

He said, “Your loyalty to the Federal Republic of Nigeria can best be given through vigilance and security consciousness.

“You must continue to demonstrate total commitment to your duty to the nation just as you have exemplified in your recent successes in the fight against terrorism in the north-east.

“The Nigerian people, especially the retirees are expecting a lot from you in the face of the current insurgency.

“Your secondary role is to assist the government in ensuring internal peace and your involvement in internal security duties demand that all of you be non-partisan.”
