General Dambazu of Nigeria

[Ulsterman]

One of Africas' best Generals these days is general Dambazu, Chief of Staff of the Nigerian armed forces.

A man with a HUGE job and logistical and political difficulties beyond imagining, he seems to do well and a recent series of interviews he gave shows both his erudition-and more importantly, the reporters' respect for him.

Here is his picture (from the Nigerian forces website, with permission of the local Consul-General).

Does anyone know what he has on his very interesting ribbon bar? I note that it that newer thin-enameled style that one sees with the Irish army ribbons.
