Why the Nigerian army flag has Arabic inscriptions

The Eagle: The eagle represents the graceful power of the Nigerian Army. In various cultures across the globe, the eagle is revered as a towering symbol of grace, power and elegance. Just like an eagle, the Nigerian Army maintains keen surveillance during times of peace and strikes with brutal precision and eye-popping decisiveness only when it has been provoked beyond tolerance.

Delay not Denial--ms Linda Ikeji

Inspiring piece from Ms Linda Ikeji, delay is not denial The first time I stepped foot outside of Nigeria was in November 2011. I was 31. Before then, I'd never entered an international flight.

Sometimes the delay is God preparing you for greatness beyond what you even envisioned. So...
