Bro Oku,
You exude tremendous consciousness of The African Problem. Politically our 
soldiers tend to be anti-revolutionary, corrupt and incompetent. Your 
write-up is a big time reminder of the episode "Obasanjo and  Yar Araduwa". 
The manner, style and content of the Nigerian military's contribution to the 
African consciousness is disgraceful! This is of great significance to 
continental unity and development because of the sizes of Nigeria's  human 
and material resources.
Bro you are really continueing the struggle, and you have just reminded of 
the less known song "Youth Song" by Ifang Bondi.
God bless you!
Omar Joof.
