Memoire: Emmanuel Ifeajuna: Legend behind Nigeria's 1966 Coup and First Black African to Win a Gold Medal

 

This is in memory of the feat he achieved when he became the first black African to win a gold medal in Canada at the Commonwealth Games in 1954. 

 

The Late Emmanuel Ifeajuna, unarguably became the first single individual Nigerian-  African to write both Nigeria and Africa’s name on the world history map in sports  and became the first Nigerian and black African to win Africa’s first gold medal in all time sport event. 

 

Before he joined the Nigeria Army, Ifeajuna, then a Medical Student at the University College Ibadan, earned for himself this honour.

150 Died in Baga Attacks, Not 2,000 - Military

You will recall that the Nigerian offline and online media were awash of a certain news springing out of Baga a town in the northern part of Nigeria currently under Boko Haram attack that over 2,000 civilians were massacred by the deadly extremist cell.

Upon the release of the news, the whole country went haywire screaming and shouting at the top of their lungs, Nigerian twitter armies were also not left out of the frenzy as they took to twitter to express their minds on the news and same goes for the Nigerian local news media. Long story short, everyone wanted to feed on the carcass of the news but believe me, yours faithfully didn't even bulge at the news because I know my country and their media style - there's always a second version!

So the Nigerian Defence Authorities through the Director of Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade has finally released the second version of last week's new this morning. The Major General claimed that only 150 people lost their lives in the insurgents' attack on Baga contrary to previous news that the civilian casualties were 2,000.

He went further to say how can a town that has been largely deserted have up to 2,000 residents in it. According to him, Baga has been under attack for some months and residents already fled the town and a majority of the 150 that died in the latest attack on the town last week were arms bearing insurgents.

Furthermore he said the news media and internet news scavengers like yours faithfully should stop exaggerating numbers and report the news exactly as it is.

Should we believe the Major General version of the news or not? After all, only a few of us knows the way to Baga town.
