The remote cause of the Civil War can be traced to the corruption of the day that had engulfed the whole federation during the ill-fated First Republic, the politicians of those days saw themselves as masters to be served rather as servants to serve, they saw themselves as tin gods to be revered rather as fellow humans privileged in their respective posts to champion the cause of the masses, they saw themselves as the fortunate ones while the led as the unfortunate ones. There was widespread of corruption, lawlessness represented in every nooks and crannies of the country and to worsen the whole situation, there were spates of bloodshed ravaging the whole of the western region at that time and order must be restored at all cost – this gave way for the first military coup of January 15th, 1966!

The first military coup came up for a reason, to rid the federation of bad eggs, without any of the actors nursing any ambition to lord it over the whole federation in the capacity of leadership. They (the actors of that coup) where all hailed as heroes and seen as the saviours of the masses who have been under the Iron hands of the corrupt politicians. Unfortunately, while Nzeogwu kept to his side and did his own assignment well bereft of partiality, his comrades-in-arms in Lagos especially, bungled the exercise by being trigger happy against their fellow soldiers while leaving out the politicians (that are from their tribes) that have been initially penciled down for elimination hence giving the well planned revolutionary-coup a different and one-sided colour, mischievously tagged, “Igbo Coup” (Of course I have always believed it was not an Igbo Coup)! As usual the rest is history.

A flipping summary dismissal of the thread and its worn out topic moreover,You deserve a medal for community service because you might have just rescued sane members of this community from another fruitless ramblings

So people still discuss the cause of Jan '66 coup. Nairaland needs to move ahead, but with topics like this i doubt Nl can move.
