I think the people that oughta face firing squad are ya coward soldier leaders that killed innocent women and children during the war instead of facing their fellow soldiers.

Bunch of cowards!

"Frederick Forsyth, who knew Emeka well, wrote that he had a handsome allowance from his father, which enabled him to dress in the most elegantly-cut suits and drive a series of newest and fastest British sports cars in the early 1950s. He was observed by contemporaries to be seldom out of the company of a string of very attractive young women. ‘Then there were the parties, the weekend trips to London and the high life of the capital. It was probably the social life that cost him a place in the Oxford Rugby team in his final year. He made his place as wing three-quarter in the Lincoln College team, and as a sprinter was selected to pace the great Jamaican runner Macdonald Bailey.’ His father visited Britain at this time and purchased a Rolls-Royce, his first such vehicle. Emeka suggested that the car really ought to be ‘run in’ and that he was the best person to do this. ‘In this manner he became the only student at Oxford to be observed driving to and from lectures at the wheel of a gleaming Rolls-Royce. One of his tutors so admired the vehicle that he was for ever wanting a ride in it. Soon they were to be seen cruising around in the Rolls together, Emeka having his tutorials on the move, and visiting quite a few outlying public houses whenever the strain became too much.
It was during his time at Oxford that Emeka began to undergo a transformation that had never been envisaged by his masters at Epsom or his tutors at Oxford. As an undergraduate, he joined the West African Students Union and became increasingly aware of African nationalism and his own African-ness. This totally eclipsed the sense of bewilderment and loneliness that he experienced when he first arrived as a fourteen year old boy at Epsom, and found himself, as he put it, ‘lost in a sea of white faces.’ Together with three other Oxford Nigerians he swore an oath to dedicate himself on his return to the service of the Nigerian people rather than to the search for personal advancement. Arriving back in Nigeria, and very much against his father’s wishes, he joined the Nigerian army, hoping to play an integral part in his country’s affairs once Nigeria had gained independence from Britain. In October 1960 independence was gained, but Nigeria at that time was a country fractured by tribal differences, with the Hausas in the north, the Yorubas in the west and the Biafrans in the east. Emeka thought the role of the army would be a unifying one, providing a continuing stability behind the world of politics without actually being involved in the political arena, although subsequent events were to prove him wrong. He returned to England in 1958 and entered the Officer Cadet School at Eaton Hall and then the Infantry School at Warminster. In 1962 he attended the Army Staff College at Latimer before returning to Nigeria where he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, commanding the 5th Battalion and eventually becoming Quartermaster General of the Nigerian Army, the first Nigerian to hold that post.
On 15 January 1966 a cadre of junior army officers, most of them Ibo, toppled Nigeria’s postindependence government. Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, Premier of Northern Nigeria, and Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Prime Minister of Nigeria were assassinated. Although Emeka was not involved in this coup, he was appointed military commander of the Eastern
Region."
