THE WOE'S OF SAM OKWU'S FAILED REPRESENTATION

I FEEL LIKE SHARING THIS WITH YOU...

MY PEOPLE, MY PEOPLE

So after all the Flying around with Air Force jets, wearing of military uniforms and all the experienced people around Rt Hon Samson Okwu, House Committee Chairman on Air force, no single Igede person was among the over 100 cadet Officers taken by Direct Short Service Recruitment. Gen. Gabriel Abayomi Olanisakin (Chief of Defense Staff) swore- in the new military personnel recruited from almost all the parts of the country without one Igede person at least. 

While I understand the complexity of getting these jobs, the worst thing that can ever happen to any nation is to have a leader that cannot fight for it. Don't be surprised that some members of the committee where our man serves as chairman would surely get slots in these recruitments!

Our people are brainy, agile, willing, able and ready but acutely lacking a leader with dexterity to assist selflessly. 

How has the pictures of the military jets and uniforms helped us in this recruitment?

We have a duty to right the wrong and rewrite our history.

My people, my people... What a people without a LEADER!
