An Urhobo officer General David Akpode Ejoor introduced the Islamic (Arabic) inscription and the Star emblem into the Nigeria Army crest. Meanwhile, Reno and co have been lying and spinning everything upside down since. Page 16 of his autobiography has details... " In the colonial days, the cap badge of the army was a palm tree. This could be interpreted to represent the wealth of the country which the British were to exploit. For that reason, the palm tree had to go. Besides, the Action Group party had a palm tree as its symbol, and it was important that the army and a political party should not have the same symbol. My job was to seek a new meaningful design for the cap badge of the Nigerian Army. I set to work." "In seeking a new design, I was anxious that the symbol should reflect the duty of the army and should be capable of inspiring officers and men. As I searched, I remembered the battle between the British and the Sokoto forces in 1903. At that battle, the Sokoto forces had carried the Sultan's flag with an Arabic inscription on it. That Arabic inscription I learnt meant, "VICTORY IS FROM GOD ALONE". This, I thought was an excellent symbol that had meaning and could inspire. What is more, the British had themselves incorporated the symbol into the regimental colour which the Nigerian Regiment carried on parade. I decided to incorporate the Arabic INSCRIPTION INTO THE CAP BADGE TO REPRESENT DEFENCE..." Next, I searched for a symbol that would depict unity. I found and answer in Lugard's interlaced triangles which he designed at the amalgamation to represent the coming together of NORTHERN and SSOUTHERN NIGERIA. In choosing this symbol for the Nigerian Army cap badge, I hoped it would remind the Nigerian Soldier that his duty was to defend the unity and integrity of his country. I now had two symbols representing DEFENCE AND UNITY." (read more on the pics) Lalasticlala 4 Likes 4 Shares

Sarrki if you are reminiscing, change the word "introduces" in the title to introduced. Back to the topic, I just have one question, currently, if the inscription was of the Christians, will the Muslims take it lying down Because we see the chaos, being created over hijab by the Muslims over an official FORMAL dressing code So I ask again, will you have accepted it in good fate 4 Likes

Nigeriabiafra80: David Ejoor isn't unknown, he was among the first generation of army officers, the mid-west governor at the time of the civil war and also the first Nigerian commandant of NDA. David Ejoor was also one of the finest army general ever produced in Nigeria, his skills were top notch and commanded respect among his peers. He is popularly known as the man with nine lives, he managed to escape several assassination attempts. If not that OP is a tribal champion, nothing wrong with the thread, we learnt one or two, but the young man has an interior motive for creating this. 4 Likes

sarrki:But you are making a strong case for an Islamic inscription Anyways, As at that time, the country was united, there was no nepotism as widely pronounced now And if there's anything constant, then it's "CHANGE" So let's have it inscribed in our 3 main indigenous languages 2 Likes |
