I was thinking of the bloodless and very peaceful military intervention in Zimbabwe. What if it had gone awry? The collective weariness of the good people of Zimbabwe of Mugabe's Methuselah-esque misrule worked in their favour, but it could have easily gone south, like it did for our Nigerian brethren during the era of military intervention.

There was a healthy dose of chauvinism involved. No one wanted to kowtow to a woman, and an unsympathetic one at that. Grace mugabe had no credentials as being part of the struggle, but was clearly a brazen opportunist who had puzzy whipped bob well and good.

[s]After the most senior army officer, a Yoruba man was passed over in July 19666?
If truly you are a Yoruba man who can afford a history book, you should not be saying what you just said. It smirks of purefect idiocy and self-denigration in favour of the owners of naijeriya who swindled Awolowo and Gowon into executing their war to cement their born-to-rule ruin status over us all.

Was Vatsa not Babaginda's best man?

Rajosh:
I heard that too.

Ben Ekele and Adamu Sakaba friends and they extensively trained abroad, hence the international community (Americans & Russians) rose to spare these talented pilots. But IBB was intent on bloodshed, which explains the quick execution.
Stories within the family is Adamu Sakaba was not present @ the only thing said meeting, but d success of the said coup required the participation of Adamu which Ben assured.
Sad tales!

What a waste! Most of these guys were brilliant officers and other rank (who were probably innocent). Babangida wasted more lives than any other person - he didn't even spare his close friend, the poet Mamman Vatsa, believed to have been framed up to get rid of him.


An Igala guy called Ben Ekele, then reputed to be one of the best Mig fighter jet pilots in Africa, was brutally silenced forever by Babangida in one of his phantom coups. What a needless coldhearted waste of lives! Those who oppose the death penalty have a point anyday.

^^^^^^

@Mu2Sa2

Just a quick correction...

Wing Commander Ben Ekele is an Idoma
from Benue State - he's NOT an Igala.
I knew members of the Ekele family.


He was one of the best in the Nigerian
Air force and was a member of the Presidential
Air Fleet.


Hope this helps!

Muritala mohammed the supreme alpha who ran the military with his able deputies OBJ, shehu yar'adua n TY danjuma.

A gang packed with IBB, Buhari, Abacha and others who are still ruling Nigeria as their personal estate.

Death penalty is nothing but institutionalized revenge.

IBB chop blood wella.....how he managed to turn around the table still baffle me till date. The success of 1990 coup was cut short before you say jack

Maradona returned to power mysteriously

The plotters made a fundamental error by announcing the excise of some parts of the north from nigeria, before consolidating their hold on power.

Very unpleasant history.

lenghtinny:
Abeg Wetin Murtala Mohammed do Plateau people

coz he overthrew Gowon; Yakubu Gowon hails from Plateau state, his kinsmen in the military wanted to avenge

The coup was on a Saturday


myself n my elder siblings were hurriedly driven home by our dad frm our pry school on dat day... there was panic everywhre in town. out of panic, dad drove his 504 wagon into a gutter, and was helped out by strangers.. [/quote]
