Baddest Nigerian Officers and Generals of All-Time

Our four generals not only earn a spot because of their services or lack thereof to Nigeria, but because of their dashing looks..........


Former, President and Commander of Nigeria's armed forces, General Sani Abacha was one of the baddest guys in Nigerian history. Literally! He was hated by so many because he ruled as a dictator and his regime was linked to so much corruption. His personality could some what be likened to that of Tony Montana. Abacha was a sharp dresser and was always dressed to kill (literally) in his military best. He got the girls, the money and armed men but at the end of it all, his regime came crumbling down. But Abacha still remains one of the baddest generals of all time.



General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma aka T.Y Danjuma has been a household name in Nigeria since the 1960s. He was the Nigerian Army's Chief of Army Staff from July 1975 to October 1979. He was also Minister of Defence under Obasanjo's regime in 1999. In 2008, the TY Danjuma Foundation was created in an effort help poverty stricken communities by providing basic amenities, education for children and young adults and free medical care for indigents.


Nigeria's former head of state, Yakubu Gowon (still living) makes our list with his striking good looks and his HIV/AIDS outreach in parts of Africa. He was Nigeria's youngest military chief of staff. He was overthrown in 1975 because people questioned how the money was being spent in his administration (some things never change). He went into exile in the UK and still lives there till today. Although he does still pay a crucial role in African politics.



This newly installed Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Dahiru Abubakar has been a force in tackling crime in Nigeria since he came into office this year. He pledges to focus on retraining and capacity building for the officers and men of the Police Mobile Force. With his good looks and "im ready for anything" personality, we hope to see more of this uniformed general for some time to come.

Nigeria's Most Anticipated Gadget of 2013

Yes you guessed it! The Blackberry 10! Because what's hotter than a blackberry in Nigeria? Nothing.

Although Research in Motion (RIM) has seen a lot of loss since 2010, the blackberry phone remains vital in the West African country of Nigeria which can only boast of weak telecommunication companies that cannot provide customers with adequate phone plans.

The Blackberry 10 is RIM's latest gadget and it is slated to be released late Jan 2013. It is said to feature a new intelligent keyboard, a camera app which allows the user to adjust a portrait by moving through time scale to optimize picture quality and a wide platform.


Guys get ready to be played for the new blackberry 10!
Girls, get ready to put in work for your new phone or at least give up that new wavy Brazilian hair you were planning to get.

Piers Morgan to Face Deportation From the U.S.


British CNN host Piers Morgan is facing possible deportation from the United States after over 30,000 people signed a petition calling for his immediate removal over his gun-control views.

Morgan hosted a gun advocate on his evening program last week in wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting and called the guy an "unbelievably stupid man."

Gun-rights activists fought back by creating an e-petition accusing Piers Morgan of engaging in a "hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution" by targeting the Second Amendment and calling for his immediate deportation.

Piers Morgan wants them to bring it on because frankly, you cant deport someone for their opinion and you most certainly cant deport someone who is on CNN, now that would just be downright insensitive*
"If I do get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me?" he wrote.
BTW

1) Piers Morgan is tracking the deportation petition
2) They apparently do not want him back in the UK.
