If you don't know that its the same group of people that has been holding Nigeria captive since 1967, ruling this nation and running it to the ground then you shouldn't be on NL

Restructured in line with principles of equality and justice for all. No man is born to rule and no man is born to be a slave to another

You didn't want the Nigerian map to look somehow?

So you came to do landscape planning?

Dear General, I'm sorry to burst your bubble. That ostrich approach has failed us.
The sad thing is that you are now an old man.

Volksfuhrer:
Gowon was far from being a "noodle leader." He was arguably the best and noblest military ruler we've ever had in this country. A descent research on this gentleman isn't a bad idea.

In any case, it isn't Gowon's fault that your sense of humour isn't as sharp as it should be.

Kindest regards.

If Gowon was your best and noble military leader then no wonder Nigeria is the way it is.
Have you read the aburi accord? You need to see how he was schooled in governance by ojukwu. If he was indeed noble he would have atleast accepted the intellectual superiority of ojukwu and entrenched regionalism that he agreed to in ghana. But the coward had to backpedal like an amateur.
He should be grateful he had the brits at his side. Men like him don't win wars. If the roles were reversed, ojukwu would have crushed him in a month.

With the greatest respect Sir not all your senior colleagues were killed. Brigadier Ogundipe was still alive but the Northern officers insisted that one of their own who was amenable to their plans must be made Head of State.

See deception And to think the ss thought gowon wanted to give them the normal 50 derivation funds. They only use it against eastern (ss/se) zone. And fought against dia brother and the fell for it cos they sold a dummy that se is ss problem. Just to break unconfirmed se dominance. Now the ss have the dominance of 170 million people at least dey could manage 50 million igbos. Truth is coming out gradually . As dearpreye will say ss will gladly kill their brother just to b politically correct, nigerian patriot. United nations take note. Do the needfull

Get this straight.

General JT Aguiyi Ironsi was the first to restructure Nigeria from regional governments to unitary one through Decree 34 of 1966 immediately the Ibos got power.

The northerners tasted it and saw how sweet it was and wouldn't let go.

This is the kind of Noodle leaders we are cursed with....so ur primary purpose of restructuring then was so that Nigeriaz map wont get K leg on paper?

Stupid....just Negodu enough Stupidty.

here we are, such actions kept us in this hell hole. No tangible policies, A system for the North, by the North and.....


Thank God all these pressure groups, fuelled by a resentment for una stupidity, are givin u guys sleepless nites.


actually the reason given by gowon is very stewpid, that was not even something to consider above the agitations of a people, and after he made Nigeria one where are we? even when buhari said our unity is non-negotiable soyinka had to correct him. am a buhari follower but where he's wrong i will say it. Nigeria can be divided and we all better accept it, the north is over favoured in current Nigeria and that is wrong

agreed: but a unitary government focuses on centralization of government. I think d person that decentralised it does a greater work ... not about restructuring but about d effects!
