Major Patrick Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, (1937–1967) was a Nigerian military officer who played in leading role in the January 15, 1966 military coup, an event that derailed Nigeria's nascent democracy and introduced military rule to Nigeria. Nzeogwu was born in the Northern Region’s capital of Kaduna to Igbo immigrant parents from the Mid-Western Region-Okpanam Town, near Asaba in the present day Delta State.

Ok? We are again going back and forth. He led coup, we know, to topple some "corrupt" politicians of the zoo, and the rest is history.

Now can we focus on restructuring the British creation?

ALAS HERE THE NIGERIA PROBLEM EMERGED FROM.

THIS BROUGHT VISIBLE TRIBALISM AND REGIONALISM.

THE COUP INTENTIONS WAS MISCONTRUE.

NZEOGWU WANTED TO BRING SANITY AND LIGHT TO NIGERIA

INSTEAD HE OPEN A CAN OF WORMS, THAT FOSTERED TRIBALISM MORE.

UNFORTUNATELY ONLY ONE IBO SOLDIER DIED THUS MAKING NORTHERN NIGERIAN SOLDIERS TO THINK ITS A TRIBAL COUP, BECAUSE SO MANY NORTHERN ELITE WERE KILLED
