The very first officers of the Nigerian Army
- Two future Nigerian heads of state are here and many of these men would later fight each other in the civil war.
- Colonel Ojukwu who led the secession of Biafra is in the photo as well as
Phillip Effiong who surrendered Biafra
- Many of the first and second row of officers were killed In a
military coup in 1966.
Only 4 of these men are alive today

They are still alive today causing commotion in the country. I wonder why they didnt join their colleague then to meet their ancestors. Lol. I guess their otumokpo too strong. I always love history and government classes although it can be boring sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHistory 402
ReplyDeleteNa wa
ReplyDeleteSee british oga
Good for them
ReplyDeleteThey really look like gallant and disciplined officers, not like the greedy corrupt rascals we have now.
ReplyDeleteNigeria is a shame to Africa and the black race. Standards have been falling continously since the era when a British man was the in charge of things (like in the picture above). Yes individual Nigerians are richer (big yimu), but the country is "poorer" than when the white man was in charge. Are we so incapable of taking care of ourselves?
