...or Ghana's Army Barracks.
In Ghana, the main Army base in Accra is now called Burma Camp, commemorating the WWll Burma Campaign in which West African forces (including Nigerians) served. It used to be known as Giffard Camp, named after General Sir George Giffard who was GOC-in-Chief, West Africa in 1940. He later commanded the 11th Army Group under Mountbatten in Burma from November 1943-44. The name was changed when Ghana became independent. Within Burma camp, there are Barracks - such as the Arakan Barracks, named after the Arakan campaign in Burma. (Interestingly, the Zambia National Defense Headquarters in Lusaka is located in an Army Base that is also called 'Arakan Barracks' - and Nigeria has an Arakan Barracks as well.)
On the other hand, in Ghana, Tamale and Tema Barracks are geographically named. There are also other Barracks in Ghana

Still, this year--today--is the second National Chocolate Day. Last year would be the first year when Valentine's Day would be synonymous with Chocolate Day. 
...now, hopefully, your doubts have been well and truly defenestrated!
