Evening.
The sun is setting.
The night is falling in Ile Ife.
For many years after I arrived in the United States, whenever I slept, I would dream of Ile Ife.

Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai;

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!
We went to celebrate the Independence Day of Nigeria at a local bar where they sell Nigerian food, beer and hot Isi Ewu pepper soup.
We ordered swallow food.
After that we ordered drinks.

We all laughed and chatted heartily after drinking one bottle of small stout and Isi Ewu pepper soup.
