Ironsi Did Not Tamper With The Structure Of The Federation Of Nigeria By Decree by Bialegend(m): 5:25pm On Jun 16, 2020
GEN AGUIYI-IRONSI DID NOT TAMPER WITH THE STRUCTURE OF THE FEDERATION OF NIGERIA BY DECREE NO.34 OF 1966. GOWON DID VIA DECREE NO.14 OF 1967 - Tony Nnadi, June 15, 2020.



“The Coup of January 15, 1966 Collapsed both the Federal and Regional Governments of the time, but coup makers did not get to power as they were stopped. The lot fell on the Military to step in to hold the Country together and stabilize what was going to become a chaotic situation. The Headship of that Military Government fell on the Supreme Commander of of the Army, Major-General Aguiyi Ironsi who was not a part of the Coup staged by Junior Officers (Nzeogwu and Co) in which he (Ironsi) was listed as a target by the Coup plotters.

Decree No.34 of 1966 (the Unification Decree) was merely an emergency measure to set up Governance Mechanism over the Country to be operated by the Military, hence for the Center, a Supreme Military Council (SMC) was set up and for the Regions, Military Governors were appointed. The SMC was basically the Head of State and Governors supported by the Service Chiefs.

Essentially, it was the ADMINISTRATION of Nigeria that was affected by the Decree No.34 of 1966 and not the STRUCTURE of the Federation of Nigeria as the Four Regions of the time remained intact, with their assets and their powers, only being administered by Military Governors who combined both the Executive and Legislative Functions of the Defunct Regional Governments just as the Federal Military Government (SMC) took over the Functions of both the Executive and Legislative Arms of the Defunct Federal Government.

The first time anyone tampered with the Structure of the Federation of Nigeria was on the 27th of May 1967 when the Four Regions were broken into 12 State via Gowon’s Decree No.14 of 1967 in the desperate attempt to stop the embattled Eastern Region of the time from leaving the Nigerian Union. That was the point Nigeria effectively ceased to be a Federation and became a Unitary State.

Like all the other Lies told about how Nigeria got to the present sorry pass by the very perpetrators of the evil that is now consuming Nigeria, the Revisionists who choose to distort these historical facts are doing so in the desperate attempt to conceal the truth FOREVER but time is the greatest enemy of Lies.

Even with the removal of History from the School Curriculum, it takes only a little research to get at the accurate facts/account of what truly transpired. The dull-minded Operators of Unitary Nigeria never contemplated the power of both the Internet and the vast capacities of Digital Information Technology.
The time for the full truth of what went wrong with Nigeria has arrived and so Darkness MUST now flee with the arrival of Light.

Sometimes I wonder if these revisionists, fake stats and chest beatings are Nigerians made for internet or they are real people that interact with other Nigerians in real life.

Call me naive, Nigerians from all parts are cordial and interact in real life than the venomous attacks on social media.

But then they could be acting out their worst fears and fatancies now that the whole world is retracing back to their land as default.

This is one of the reasons why they dont teach Nigerian history, so that people won't know that it was Gowon who introduced unitary rule with decree 14

After this useless epistle, also tell us why Ironsi refused executing the coup plotters who killed the head of the Western and and Northern Region.

Coup plotters led by Ifeajuna killed the heads of other regions and no politician from the East was killed. What did Ironsi do? He transferred the coup plotters to prisons in the Eastern region. Why? To protect coup plotters.

Ironsi by omission and commission is partly responsible for the mess Igbos are in today. Clannishness and tribalism. See where it has led to.
