Nigerians are today sending out messages of love in
honour of servicemen of the Nigerian Armed
Forces.
As the nation commemorates its 2021 Armed Forces Remembrance
Day, many citizens and supporters of the Nigerian Military all over
the world have taken to social media to show solidarity and
support.
Wreath-laying ceremonies are expected to hold in states across
the country as well as in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) where
President Muhammadu Buhari and other top officials are expected to
be in attendance.
But while the ceremonies are yet to get underway, Nigerians have
taken to social media to honour both fallen heroes and those who
are still giving their all to ensure that the walls at the
frontlines do not fall, leaving the citizens vulnerable.

For our sake, they left their comfort zone;
had sleepless nights; came face to face with death, some survived
it, some couldn’t while some sustained life threatening injury. How
can we appreciate all this efforts? We really can’t!

The Nigerian Armed Forces Remembrance Day is a day set aside for
sober reflections on the significance of the armed forces to the
country.
Globally, the Armed Forces Remembrance Day is celebrated on
November 11 every year and it is known as the armistice day,
commemorating the end of the first World War.
But, with the formal end of the Nigerian Civil War following the
surrender of the Biafran secessionists on January 15, 1970, the
date was changed to mark the restoration of Nigeria’s unity.

GLADYS, widow of former military administrator of Lagos and Imo
states, Real Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, on Thursday blamed her
husband’s death on a private hospital that was treating him.
![image](/2020/10/lawreport.jpg")
Mrs. Kanu told newsmen that the family had concluded plans to
fly the former naval officer abroad when the hospital’s medical
personnel said he had recovered.
![image](/2020/10/NWLRland.jpg")
She did not name the hospital.
According to her, the late Kanu had not been sick for so many
years, prior to the last illness.
Asked about the former Milad’s last moment, Mrs. Kanu said: “He
didn’t really have any last moment because he has never been sick
all the years I’ve known him; never been in any hospital.
“We used to go for check-ups near our home in London, like twice
in a year, but not for him to be admitted to the hospital. He was
only sick for about 11 days. At the time I was trying to fly him
abroad with an air ambulance, the hospital where he was, was
telling me there was nothing serious, that he has recovered. They
kept giving false hopes and deceiving us.
“We got admission for him in a London hospital. We were
arranging the air ambulance before they (medical personnel) said
there was no need for that, that he’d recovered, only for them to
send me a message yesterday (Wednesday) that he had passed on.
“It wasn’t long enough. He was in the hospital for only 11
days.”
She said her last conversation with her husband was on
Monday.
She described him as an intelligent man.
