Late Captain SO Oni: The Young Officer Who Gave His All for Nigeria 🕊️

Captain SO Oni was one of the many brave Nigerian Army officers who laid down their lives in the fight against Boko Haram insurgency in the North East.

In the early days of the insurgency, when Boko Haram was at the height of its brutality and territorial expansion, Captain Oni stood alongside his fellow soldiers in the defence of Maiduguri, Borno State, a city that was under constant threat from terrorist attacks.

Sadly, on 1 February 2015, during fierce operations to repel insurgent attacks around Maiduguri, Captain Oni was kill*d in action while courageously defending the city from falling into the hands of terrorists. News of his death became public on 6 February 2015, plunging family, friends, and colleagues into mourning.

Reports at the time revealed that the young officer had only recently become a father, leaving behind a wife and an infant child, a painful reminder of the enormous sacrifices made daily by members of the Armed Forces.

Captain Oni answered his Nation's call and remained at his post when Nigeria needed him most.

Heroes like Captain SO Oni may leave the battlefield, but they never truly leave the nation's memory. Their sacrifices are etched forever in the story of Nigeria's struggle for peace and security.

We honour and appreciate Captain SO Oni for his courage, selfless service, and supreme sacrifice. May Almighty God grant him eternal rest and continue to comfort the family he left behind.

Some soldiers return home in uniform. Others return draped in the flag they swore to defend.

IF you deem Nigeria a father in the sense of a fatherland, then it is a useless deadbeat father, completely unworthy of the name. A flippantly wicked and irresponsible father..🇳🇬🤮

Happy Father’s Day to all who stands in the place of Father..👏🏿

So of all the issues bedeviling Nigerian and Nigerians na the be say people eat for burial dey worry you. You need help.

[Àlúbàríkà 🇳🇬 @Iyoaiye_]

It would never happen anywhere in Yorubaland that the death of a 40-year-old person would become an occasion for celebration.

The passing of a young and promising actor, which should have been a solemn moment of grief, reflection, and respect, was instead turned into a social party.
What ought to have been a dignified farewell became a spectacle of merriment.

What a shame.

Rest in peace Alexx Ekubo

First time you have said something reasonable. Thank you.

[Olóyè T.D Esq @BolanleCole]

Dear Obidients,

Kindly leave Atiku/Amaechi and ADC out of your mouths, and we will leave NDC and Obi/Kwankwaso out of ours too.

We all have a common opponent, so let’s focus our energy there instead of fighting one another. After all, the enemy of our enemy should be a friend. 🤝😀

The car or the lady?

[Indiscov @Iamindiscov]

This is not a direct tokunbo car, it is an unfairly overused Nigerian car driven for many years, the wheels are all bent, the shafts are all weak and the brake doesn't function properly like it should. If you buy this car i assure you there will never be any happy ending for you, believe the holy prophet indiscov that you may kpai using it because it may cause serious accident that will take your life, you are not wiser than the wreckless driver that overused it roughly, crashed it uncountable times and panel beated it brutally, you will know why previous owner of this car discarded it.

Remember this car has been driven for decades and it has accumulated obscene number of mileages that may throw you off your feet, it has been driven roughly more than a danfo bus in Lagos; so my brother, why must it be you?

Why would you even want to buy this car of 1980s when you can easily get yourself a car of 2020s with the same amount of money you want to waste on this roughly overvsed and wrecked car, invest your money wisely my brother, go for brand new car that won't stress you like this old unfairly overused car stressed the previous owner.

Mark Angel went for a single woman, far younger than him, but Yul Edochie went for someone's wife (40+yrs) the same age as him. He snatched a Mother of 5 from her husband and he's currently having kids with her.

Mark Angel's wife is childless and young, fresh and submissive. A man that knows his worth, Mark is a king 👑

Don't be like Yul Edochie, be like Mark Angel whenever you want to marry bro.

[The local man @Thelocalman57]

Same way will burst your bubbles.

They will tell you he made largest investment in Education, yet built no school in Anambra.
While few kilometers away from Anambra, Chimaroke built Law school (only one in the SE), Nursing school, Esut perm site…; Saraki built Aviation school in Kwara same period.
You saved our state money in your bank, and today you have an internet inflated ego.
We will burst that ego.

Diogo Dalot on his daughter:

“This April, Clara had to spend some time in hospital. They had to take her blood. They put syringes in her skin. She got really traumatised. For a father to see his daughter suffer like that, it’s very difficult. Every time a nurse came into her room, she would rise up in her bed and say, “No, no, no!” The first five days, she wouldn’t allow anyone to touch her except me. If the doctors wanted to take her temperature, I had to do it. It couldn’t even be Claudia [wife]. 

I did not go with the team to train in Ireland. As a father, I wanted to stay at the hospital every single hour of the day.

But every day, I drove into Carrington. I trained for two hours on my own, and then I went back to the hospital. When the team was back from Ireland, I was at training on Saturday. I didn’t know if I would be selected for the game. But I’m playing for United. I had to do my job. I had to know that I had done everything I could to be ready. 

Fortunately, the operation was a success, and after that my daughter only wanted mom mom mom. A week later, she was back home, watching daddy play on the TV. When she watches me, she points to the badge and says, “United! United!”

We raised her right.” ❤️

@D.H Bwala, what changed?

[D. H Bwala @BwalaDaniel]

When you see these people wanting to take power from @officialABAT and constantly attacking his life, politics and policies, you would be forced to shake your head in disbelief.

If you closely look at them, their character, politics and philosophy, you wonder what element they are;

@sowore Sowore who opens a political party and appoint himself as the national chairman in other to secure presidential ticket by way of adoption. Then when elections time approaches, he hands the chairmanship, after loosing election he collects back the chairmanship till the next election. Is he a democrat?

To @PeterObi who jumps from one party to another in search of a guaranteed ticket without primaries; Meanwhile his deceived foot soldiers are subjected to primaries in the same party where he secures his ticket by adoption; The foot soldiers and rabble rousers have all lost their primaries because politics is more than activism that they are good at.

To @atiku Wazirin Adamawa, who believes he has the rights to change political parties in search of his ambition and that is ok by him, but the minute those who supported him also pursue their aspirations away from him, he classify them as lacking character and betrayers ( a Classic case of slave and slave master) Under him no one has the rights to become presidents until when he resigns from politics. Wanting to use peter obi and benefit from his followers, when Obi left, Obi is a bad man.
The list goes on, and one common denominator is that President Tinubu is more a democrat than them all.

@officialABAT as a sitting president who should have option of first refusal, and we could have simply had a consensus, but when a member of our party said he too wants to run, a primaries was initiated so he will not be stifled. Now who is a democrat? You tell me.

What all these opposition aspirants are doing everyday is to simply make noise about our government without offering a clear alternative path. Taking advantage of any misfortune that happens to Nigerians as a talking points, calling us with all sorts of names without making a good case for their aspirations. Talk is cheap

[The local man @Thelocalman57]

For once you spoke something truthful.
