Picture Nigeria’s military heroes getting a well-deserved upgrade—from somber remembrance to a full-throated celebration of both living warriors and those who paid the ultimate price. The Armed Forces just announced January 15’s shiny new name: “Armed Forces Celebration and Remembrance Day”!
Maj.-Gen. Samaila Uba dropped the news Thursday, explaining the tweak honors serving troops’ grit while never forgetting fallen defenders who shielded the nation’s integrity. Expect a week of events capped by parades and wreath-layings—pure patriotism!
Gone is the old “Remembrance Day” vibe; this rebrand captures the full spectrum: cheers for today’s fighters battling insecurity, tears for yesterday’s sacrifices. Media got the memo—start using the fresh title, and thanks for backing the war on threats!
