Today in 1966, set in motion of destruction of Nigeria. It’s actually 51 years-old, since the first coup was carried out by some disgruntled military personnel.

The coup d’etat of January 15 1966, truncated and set us back a thousand years, as we began a journey of mistrust that exist among us.

It brought about the ethno-regional distrust and conflict that has engulfed Nigeria. It Pitted neighbours against each other, gave birth to the Nigeria we know of today.

It changed the Nigeria political landscape. Changed the people thinking and birthed the odd ideas in mind of every Nigerian till date.

It truncated the peace, harmony that existed within us and set in motion of a series of new way of looking at ourselves, a new way of thinking by those that has held the country at a jugular. Think about it, Nigeria actually lost everything after the coup of 1966, as every region, tribe and religion started the self-distrust madness.

It also brought about the civil War that killed millions of people, the following coups and counter coups.

Ushered in a new Northern Nigeria, repugnant, as it has since been on path of backwardness, as the effort of the Saudarna of Sokoto in having Northern Nigeria catch up with other regions, was greatly affected, as his death seem to go with his idea of a better northern Nigeria. Everything met a brick wall. Education of it people and lifting them from the parochial state, was badly affected, leaving the region and its people in a dejected.

If the coup brought distrust, tribalism and hate as you wickedly said...you wicked history-twisting afonjaa, why then was the Sarduna before the coup preaching hate, tribalism and marginalization of Igbos?

Stop all these lies. While the January 15th coup is nothing to celebrate, its not like all was well before it. This classic Yoruba propaganda that Nigeria was this wonderful, peaceful and loving place before the January 15th coup came along and changed everything must be debunked. There was already fire on the mountain.

1)The 1945 Kano massacre
2) The 1953 Jos killings
3) Violent fall out of the 1963 Census
4) The 1964 violence in the Western Region
5) Opration 'Wetie' in 1965

All these are are examples of violent and bloody uprisings leading up to the first coup. Nigeria was already heading for a Car Crash before January 15th abd it would have crashed regardless of if the first coup happend or not

But not to the extent we are now witnessing

The country never really had to a large extent ethno-regional issues before the coup.
