Those beautiful years are gone, doesn't look like they are coming back. You could sleep in a strangers house in the North, South, East or West of Nigeria and you will be treated so well like they have known you before.

Really?
Was it that good then?

I am a Nigerlite. I was so privilaged to have schooled in El-Amin international school, Minna. A school owned by her Mother (Maryam Babangida). Halima happened to be a student in that school as well. I was in same class with her (primary1) per-say. kiss
That was around 1990-91 or so, after going thru nursery as well.
Her mother was a very good woman. There was free meal for all pupils.grin

Weekend concord reported then that she was named Alimat. When the thing changed to Halima,they forgot to tell us.
One year later Gideon Orka,Roland Empere, Saliba Mukoro ,Ovedje Ogboru struck.
A terrified IBB abandoned his wife and young daughter and ran 440.

It also marked the rise of Colonel Ishaya Bamaiyi. He and Abubakar Umar led battalions of loyal troops to crush the coupists.
Two years later, the panicky IBB relocated the seat of power from Dodan barracks lagos to Aso Rock Abuja.
Hmnn , how time flies.

The reason why the Orkah bloody coup failed was because the plotter failed, or forgot, to disconnect the telephone lines. Every other things were perfectly orchestrated, even the fastidious and Conscientious IBB regime didn't not know the coup was being plan right under their nose, Lagos mainland. The coup plotter used a secluded and deserted swampy area in ikorodu to strategise and plan the coup. The coup was carried out on Monday, it was a public holiday. All the APC and tanks in dodan barrack, seat of government then, in Lagos have been rendered in ineffective so that the security details of IBB will not have something to rely on to fight back. ibb was almost gunned down in his room by the fearless and rampaging coupists. They have almost overrun the government house, they have already seized the broadcasting house in Ikoyi to announce the the change of government via radio, when ABACHA who was a key stalwart in IBB govt got wind of the whole situation via a telephone call, he he made frantic phone calls to the military division for reinforcement, the reinforcement came with full force with superior men and firepower. The coupists were outnumbered and were later overwhelmed by superior ammunition. The were arrested and executed.

Yes there was contentment and love. I miss those golden days. When our parents taught us discipline and hardwork. Children played without fear of strangers. When even strangers cared about you and you about them. Where people offered help without social media announcements, when dressing scantily was an abomination to which parents cried for days for such a child. When dying People in accident were helped to hospital immediately without selfie with a dying person in need of dire help. Sigh. Where are those sweet calm days.
its not like that anymore ?

Oh how I love history!

Thanks for taking us on a short but interesting journey through time. I was very little when all this went down. If there was thing I remember vividly about IBB, it was the much talked about myth that he was invincible and once changed into an ant and crept away when some assassins came for him. The man still revels in that air of invincibility till today as successive governments have failed to bring him to book on account of the widespread human rights abuses championed by his brutal regime. Not to mention the looting of epic proportions entrenched by his administration. I guess only God will bring him to book.

Life was sweeter then

There was contentment in the society

Love was shared among all

God have mercy on us all
As at the time you said life was sweeter, many were still complaining. The same would happen in the next ten years;people will be referring to this time as sweeter and better.

The northerners arguably have the most expensive bride price in Nigeria. The kanuri mostly pay in gold, but this isn't too known because of less Publicity.
