Former First lady, Mrs Maryam Abacha, yesterday stole the show, at the launch of a book written by her former Military press secretary, Colonel John Adache (rtd).
Mrs Abacha, walked in surprisingly into the Sani Abacha conference Hall of the National Defence Collage, NDC, in company of her son , Mohammed and a retinue of well wishers.
At the launch of the book on ‘The Military and Public Relations; Issues Strategies and Challenges’ it commenced with the Chief launcher donating N2 million, the former First lady who was the mother of the day announced, her family’s donation of N5 million, which threw the whole hall into loud ovation.
Speaking at the occasion, Commandant of the National Defence Collage Rear Admiral Thomas Lokoson, said the military must continue to engage in vigorous public relations and information management activities in the interest of national security
While urging the military to continue to live up to the challenge through making strides in research and scholarship, the Commandant noted that the Collage will continue to hold its place prominently amongst its pears globally.
He added that the publication of the book was very timely as public relations practised by most complex organizations are being given greater impetus especially with the advent of globalization enhanced by varied modes of modern communications.He added that the military cannot afford to be left behind.

ReplyDelete@femi, u dey aware..
ReplyDeleteThis is what a first lady should look like, not what we have now.....oops.... Some people wont take this down well.
ReplyDeleteEven the Abacha family have come to acknowledge that crimes committed by Nigerian political elites today make their patriarch, Sani, look like a choir boy.
ReplyDeleteSome Nigerians dislike hearing anything good about Abacha’s family despite the fact that Abacha himself is dead.
ReplyDeleteBe sincere to yourself as a Nigerian: Tell me why Abacha should be considered as a monster and what was his crime that is sorrier than the one of IBB and OBJ?
June 12 annulment? IBB annulled the election aided by OBJ but not Abacha, so why charging Abacha. OBJ encouraged IBB to do that and both of them are still alive and no one had asked them why?
Looting of National treasury? OBJ, IBB including Abdul Salami looted more than anyone in the history of misappropriation and dishonesty in this country why no one cares to ask them?
Killing of innocent people and all that? IBB and OBJ did more than Abacha at least we all heard of Dele Giwa and Bola Ige to mention few and no one seems to realize that.
Way forward:
Abacha is dead while most of his loots were confiscated by OBJ’s administration and shared within OBJ executives otherwise; tell us what the recovered money by OBJ was used for?
We Nigerians should make up our minds to recover loots made by IBB and OBJ while in government including the one looted by OBJ in 1979.
Major AL- Mustapha is still in prison on what reason while Omisore is moving freely in the street of 9ja it is unfair.
What was the case of Ayo Salami; he became a prey for doing the right thing.
Open your eyes Nigerians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Yeah! We really nid to open our eyes. Abacha was an erudite leader under whose leadership no foreign country dare to fuck wit nigeria. What do we have now? Compromise everywhere, dancing to †Ñ’ξ tune of †Ñ’ξ westerners... Smh. Rest in Peace Jooor
ReplyDelete@Yemolaa4me: I wish u could buttress your accusations with facts - especially as pertaining to OBJ. Why bundle him in with dictators. It seems some of us get carried away with display of opulence. Where did Mrs. Abacha get the money? Her husband's remunerations? How much did he make through his military career? Was she a business guru? It's a shame when we judge looting by how much was looted. ALL thieves are thieves- no exception. Every unelected military leader is a criminal. They may never be prosecuted. That does not absolve them. Stop giving excuses for any of them.
ReplyDeleteYemolala,Good talk!!!brother, God bless u for saying d throu.no matter what they do to us throu must be told by Good nigeria like u. Thanks brother.
ReplyDeleteAbacha is a looter and diminishes international relation of Nija during his time which unfortunately some people who have be-dwarfed thinking see as a thing of praise!
