Fuelled by the anger that engulfed the northern military men over the first coup that consumed top nothern leaders like prime

minister tafawa balewa, sarduana of sokoto,e.t.c, there was a countercoup that consumed the then head of state gen. aguyi

ironsi. The northern military used everything at thier disposal to execute a succesfull coup d"etat that saw yakubu gowon the

most senior of the northern military and a junior in the general mailitary becoming head of state.
Selfishness, egotism,self- aggrandisement was one of the motivating factors behind all those senseless bloody coups.

Suspicion was a key factor that featured in the military institution then. Lack of trust, betrayal, tribalism, sentimentalism were

also major factors that characterised the military.They took over power with the excuse that the political(civilian) class was

corrupt.There was so much suspicion and fear in the military, that the northeners who have been ruling nigeria in the military

regimes made their fellow northerners confidants and higher in rank.
This is another repeat of history.The northerners have always seen ruling(presidency) as their birthright. As we all

know, it is not easy to take someone else"s birthright and go scot-free, they are re-strategising to claim their so-called birthright.

They want to unleash mayhem with their boko haram as a new, civilised and more sophisticated unlike the military coups, on

innocent people in these country just to reclaim their so-called birthright. They want to make this country ungovernable for

goodluck. They are at it again, Civilian coup. They can do anything, even at the risk of their own lives to make sure they get

power. My advice to goodluck is watch your back and be makavellian atleast 80% to sustain your power.
