He's the man who never did anything for his community or so to speak. Is that the kind of man you like to admire?

He contributed to the development of Irrua Specialist Hospital where Lassa fever is treated

janedonez:
I admire Aikhomu so much. That name rang so much bell

You needed a historians by your side..

Buhari has always looked malnourished

. genes bro. some of us has never increased in body fat since eons ago. people go reason say na hunger

@Naptu2

How about Air Vice Marshal Nsikak Eduok?

I could remember back in the days in Ekpoma in the 90s Babaginda must go riot, when Ekpoma students visited Aikhomu's house, that day, see looting.

naptu2:


My dad said that people in Aikhomu's community had vowed to burn his house in the village when he leaves office. My dad died before Aikhomu left office. He said that Aikhomu refused to provide water or electricity in the community, instead he built a giant mansion there and they had promised to burn it down. A week or so after he left office they burnt his house and Aikhomu ended up living in Apapa, Lagos. I knew the family very well (knew his children too).

Though he did do a lot for football and sports in general.

But I thought he built Irua specialist hospital

Please for you guys to know more about the military years of IBB amd Buhari read ' Soldiers of Fortune' by Mad Soillun. That book is an eye opener. It is in Pdf format.

Make una just read the book

NA THEIR WAY.

Idi Amin once said if you want ranks, go to the Nigerian Army.

After the whites left, there was so much vacancy in not just the military forces but virtually all sectors of the country.

To fill the gaps, officers had to be double and even triple promoted. That was why we had so many young men in power in the early days of our independence.


Someone once to me , the 1966 coup was as a result of 'power in the hands of young bloods'. To an extent, I can't disagree with him.

Idi Amin did not say anything of such. Stop attributing non existing quotes to people anyhow

Not only that, Igbokuta ,a suburb of Ikorodu where he was born can never forget him. He singlehandedly brought Lagos State Model College to them, built solid bridge that connects Imota (Rice Mill host) to Gberigbe and gave them a solid road which is still one of the most motorable roads in Lagos.

The chief of naval staff, Augustus Aikhomu, being decorated with his new rank of rear admiral by the head of state, Major General Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chambers of State House, Dodan Barracks in 1984.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the person sitting there is Ibrahim Alfa.

WHO is that crayfish in that picture

Thanks OP for sharing this info. It's quite educative.
