When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder | James M. Black

When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
- Refrain:
  When the roll is called up yonder,
  When the roll is called up yonder,
  When the roll is called up yonder,
  When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

The Nigerian Navy yesterday explained that its resolve to use air power to dismantle vandals camps and shanties in the Arepo creeks in Ogun state was borne out of difficulty to access the terrain on water and land. In a joint Military operation code named “AWATSE” a Hausa word for ‘to scatter’ the first aerial bombardment was launched Thursday evening on Iroko creeks in Arepo.

For over four decades, Nigeria’s first woman federal permanent secretary, Francesca Emanuel, has remained an inspiration to young talents in music and theatre. She is one of the early members of the famous Steve Rhodes Voices and a co-founder of the Musical Society of Nigeria (MUSON), Lagos. EVELYN OSAGIE speaks with the octogenarian on her passion for the industry.

A faction of Turkey’s armed forces attempted a coup, but was defeated by other military units, police and crowds of civilians. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan launched a crackdown, arresting or purging thousands of military officers, judges, academics, journalists and others. The government accused Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim cleric based in America, of plotting the coup (which he denied), and sought his extradition. The EU and America warned Mr Erdogan not to crush democracy. See article .

“When a war is over, it takes another 10 years for a war to be really over,” the novelist and poet Chris Abani says over the phone. “And so I grew up in the detritus of that war; it is something that has haunted me for a long time.”

Abani is referring to the Nigerian-Biafran war, which began in his home country in 1967, when he was 18 months old. Although the war lasted less than three years, it proved a deep influence upon Abani’s life. “I remember things like, as an 18-month-old, having to hunt for snails and bush meat,” he recalls. “The perennial smell of mud and dirt and dying things.”

The Greek mathematician Euclid of the 4th century BC who was responding to Ptolemy 1 if there were an easier way to solve theorems said that there is no ‘royal road’ to geometry. The reality in solving complex problems had never been with impressive generosity and existed since time immemorial. The procedure to tackle identified problem is what makes the difference.

I have been observing this young couple in church since the Sunday after their wedding. They are always on suit-and-suit (clothes made from the same fabric). Over the years, they have had three children and they still wear suit-and-suit to church every Sunday. I saw them again last Sunday and it just occurred to me that this suit-and-suit might be one of their customized conflict resolution mechanisms (personal ways of resolving differences).

Nuhu Ribadu, was a ray of hope. The salt that came to stop the rot. A public desperate for salvation embraces eagerly. He contained the temptations that swept away pretenders. He sparkled where others had dimmed. We squelched our doubts. When he fought corruption with zeal, we didn’t count his sins, didn’t regard his foibles. Focused and determined war against a legion of rugged looters summoned adoration.

Not many of us were genuinely shocked at the ‘shocking accusation’ by the Acting Inspector General of Police that his predecessor in office carted 24 cars away as part of the retirement benefits he allowed himself. Not many of us found the allegation incredible.

NIGERIANS know what to expect when they approach police checkpoints. “How can you appreciate me?” ask officers, AK-47s dangling languidly from their shoulders. “Happy weekend!” say security guards from the early hours of Friday morning. Or simply: “What do you have for me?” Nigeria, as David Cameron, Britain’s former prime minister, pointed out, is “fantastically corrupt”. In Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, it is 31st from the bottom. Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler, wants to change this. How is he doing?

As debate rages over some basic national questions, an elder statesman, respected Yoruba leader, and former Chief of Defence Staff, General Alani Ipoola Akinrinade (retd), in this interview admonishes the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to do a restructuring of the country to avoid an imminent break up and also to amend the Constitution to allow any constituent part wishing to leave, to do so peacefully.

At the beginning of his war memoirs, Charles de Gaulle famously wrote, ‘All my life I have had a certain idea of France’ and its ‘eminent and exceptional destiny’. It was not only an abstract concept: the picture in his mind was of ‘the Madonna in mural frescoes’. What is President Hollande’s certain idea of France? Presumably it cannot be the Madonna, since Hollande is the child of French laïcité, which creates an unbridgeable gulf between religion and the republic.

Officials of the United Nations were among those injured on Thursday in northeast Nigeria as Boko Haram terrorists ambushed their vehicles as they from Bama where they had gone to offer relief services to displaced persons, officials said.

The convoy was attacked despite being escorted by armed soldiers.

The attacks on the UN officials and soldiers came four days after personnels of Medicins Sans Frontier narrowly escaped being killed by landmines some few kilometres from where Thursday’s ambush attack was carried out.

When plans and theories seem to have failed and the path ahead appears crooked; when today looks bleak and tomorrow appears dreary; when the systemic stench signals a deepening and the societal decadence portends a protraction; when the citizens’ strength to keep holding on has dissipated and the inner push to keep up the fight for survival has waned, there, then, comes only one option available to the besieged and beleaguered people of a nation like Nigeria. HOPE! They have to keep HOPING that the tide will turn. That is all that the hapless people can do in the face of hard times that are now pounding hard on the country.

“We must support the fight against corruption. It should not be for the Federal Government alone; the state and local governments must fight corruption. Let us chase away the thieves among us” – Rev. Olawuyi James, July 22, 2016.

On Thursday July 29, 2016, the former Nigerian Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and her husband, Mr., Ikemba Iweala celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary.

A former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Tunde Lemo, has said the country should expect a further shrinkage in economic activities this year.

He said the impact of this projected shrinkage would be especially felt across the major sectors of the economy.

He, therefore, advised the Federal Government to intensify efforts towards diversifying the economy.

There’s a land beyond the river,

And we only reach that shore by faith’s decree;
One by one we’ll gain the portals,

  Don’t you hear the bells now ringing?
  Don’t you hear the angels singing?
  ’Tis the glory hallelujah Jubilee.

  Just beyond the shining river,
  When they ring the golden bells for you and me.

Even though he was famed as Ironside on account of his sheer physical prowess and escapades, the cascade of events that overwhelmed Nigeria in the first seven months of 1966 was enough to devour the boldest of men. General JohnsonThomas Aguiyi Ironsi, Nigeria’s first military head of state was unprepared for the duties of statecraft thrust upon him by the events of January 15, 1966, when the political leadership of the country was removed.

There was also no indigenous experience of a military junta to draw lessons from. He had been a sort of pioneer, having been the country’s first Major General, the first indigenous Commander of the Nigerian Army, first Nigerian to command a United Nations Peace Force among many other caps earned locally and internationally.

Reaping from January 15 coup

Aguiyi Ironsi was thrown unto the national sphere by the events of January 15, 1966, which led to the overthrow of the country’s civilian government by a group of young officers styled as the Five Majors. By happenstance or coincidence, Aguiyi Ironsi, who was the GOC of the Army (Chief of Army Staff) escaped the bullet of the military usurpers. All but one of the five Army Majors, Major Wale Ademoyega, were all of Igbo ancestry. Even more remarkable was the fact that the tide of the killings during the January 15 failed coup was heavily tilted against the North.

The first shots shattered the peace of the night at the Abeokuta Garrison of the Nigerian Army a few minutes after midnight on July 29, 1966.

Three casualties lay instantly dead in the persons of Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel Okonweze, the Garrison Commander, Major John Obienu, Commander of the 2nd Reece Squadron, and Lieutenant E. B. Orok, also of the Reece Squadron. It was the beginning of the much-touted revenge coup of Northern Nigerian army officers and men against the regime of Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi.

In every relationship in the biggest moment comes when you have to be introduced officially to your partners family.

Outside the country in the western world, this is no big deal but right here in Ghana, it is a very big deal. That meeting practically will define whether your relationship will get the approval of the family or not.

Your partner holds the final say but of course, you won’t marry her to strangers so it’s important how this first official meeting goes.

At this meetup, your partners family will ask you questions in an effort to get to know you better. These questions can come from every aspect of life. From where you come from, your family, what you do, what you’ve been doing before meeting their daughter, how you feel about their daughter, what your future plans are etc.. Some families can get under your skin but you need to put yourself together and stay calm.

For Lady Victoria Aguiyi Ironsi, the shock of the news of the tragic death of her husband, the late former Head of State, Lt. General Johnson Aguiyi Ironsi can never go away. She described the day and entire period as shocking and terrible dark days. But she remains grateful to God that she weathered it all. In this interview in Umuahia, Lady Aguiyi Ironsi laments that both the Federal and State Government do not accord the nation’s heroes the respect they deserve.

Today is 50 years of the tragic death of your husband.

It is exactly 50 years today that the counter-coup of 1966 was executed by soldiers, largely of northern extraction. One event that stood out in the process was the execution of the Head of State, Major-Gen. Johnson Thomas Umunakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi and Col. Adekunle Fajuyi, in Ibadan. Aguiyi-Ironsi who had emerged the major beneficiary of the January coup d’état was on an official visit to the Western Region where Col. Fajuyi was governor when incensed officers led by Captain Theophilus Danjuma decided to avenge what they considered the iniquitous Igbo coup of January.
