Wow just getting to know that the late Major Gen. Philip Effiong (Ojukwu’s 2nd-in-command during the Biafran War, who’d signed the peace treaty with Gowon) was friends with and used to visit my paternal grand-uncle Sir Philip Nkwocha of blessed memory.

Didn’t get to have a much personal experience with Ndaa Philip Uwaezuoke Nkwocha (was quite a kid when he died about 2007), but he had a reputation as an astute academic (one of the pioneers in my community of origin) and Director, Sunray Publications, Port Harcourt.
I fondly remember him for his bald rounded head, áfó beer (potbelly 😂), baritone voice and boisterous, witty humor. As a lover of education, he’d greatly influenced my father (who has always supported his children education-wise). And a bevy of texts

MEANING OF THE SYMBOLS ON THE NIGERIAN ARMY'S FLAG
From a force of 18,000 in infantry battalions and supporting units at the end of World War II in 1945, the strength of the Nigerian Army rose to around 126,000 in three divisions by the end of the Nigerian Civil War in 1970.

In terms of doctrine, the task of the Nigerian Army has not changed; it is to close with and defeat an organised enemy.
The Army uses a flag that has three vertical stripes (red, black, and red). On it is the emblem of an Eagle, a six-pointed star, and the Arabic text.

My first time in travelling in the Northeast combat area, gunfire started. Scared to pieces, I screamed. One of the soldiers in the truck looked at me and asked, Aunty, don't you like this ringtone? Should we change it for you? 😂 Tuesday is Armed Forces Remembrance Day; this..
