Ahoy!

Old soldier (sailor) never die!

'Rule number One' of the infinate rules says - The Admiral (General) is always right.
When in doubt at any point, refer to 'Rule number One'!

I remember when I was soldier (x4)
Hippy Ya ya! hippy hippy ya ya! (x4)
I remember when I was a soldier!

Best shot in the world.

I wish it was a full lenght picture. I want to see how much protrusion
of the gut (belly) is visible in the naval outfit. And, may I ask, why is the
uniform not as white as the shirt itself? Here is where the defenders of
Obasanjo throw a hiffy thus: "Who is this Auspicious that is doing our
nation a dis-service ke? Nothing Baba does is good for him..blabla". It's
good humor o, at the expense of the Commander-in-Chief hehe.
But on a serious note, is this a warning sign to the "detractors" and
"enemies of progress" that they shouldn't mess with Baba ni? Oh just a
simple message that "old soja neva die"? Nna, na only God know.

And maybe this is the harbinger of more surprises to come..like
Baba 'decking-up' in suit after years of Agbada and Fila.
We'll see..but I doubt it.

Scuze me Villagers, but does this latest picture of Obasanjo in
full naval regalia remind anyone of someone who served in IBB's
government? Think of a naval chief with large nasal pathways who
breathed all the air in every gathering he was such that others
present are left gasping for air..think. Rumor also had it that
curtains and calendars etc hanging in any enclosures flap wildly
when he's present - don't know why(!) Does any one remember
this individual? Oh, I hear folks shouting "respect your leaders" or
do I? Not sure but if I do I'll tell those folks to go read Reuben
Abati's latest article - where he had listed amongst many other
qualities we need in our future leaders (President), the ability to
take jokes.

Anyways here is one clue:

* This naval chief built a magnificient Church for his village on
retiring from service in Abuja..perhaps to endear himself to his
base after years of confinement far aways within the corridors of
power..

And the answer is..(of course everyone know who it is). I wonder
what he's up to this days. He is hardly in the news like his peers.

Hail to the Chief!

Majestic and Resplendent in uniform as well as in Agbada, our commander-in-chief!

He is the c-in-c of Nigeria's Armed Forces, on (Navy) Armed Forces Golden Jubilee celebrations, the c-in-c chose the navy, a branch, and wears their colors.... he is worn Army colors in the past.... he is not about to change from his African Attires... he is majestic, regal and resplendent in African Attaires! He our cultural ambassador extraordinaire! Same can be said of Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala in her gorgeous Nkara always.

I can tell you, from President Obasanjo's face, that he is rigorously fit and has no fat stomach! You guys should pray that you look as good as he does when and if, you make it to his biological age!
