Pimpmaride: Let me make clear, there was no way the governors would kick against the decree they helped formulated and still remain in the army talk less governors of the regions. Why would Gowon repealed the decree and still leave large portion to continue till date? From Mr. Nwokedi to Colonel Patrick Anwunah the decree # 34 was all about "Administrative machinery for a united Nigeria’ and the ‘unification of the Public Services and Judicial Services.’". United Nigeria can only mean unitary to those who have practically destroyed Nigeria and would not allow other people to secede. 4 Likes |

Dedetwo: There was only one decree 34 issued by Ironsi and that decree abolished the regions and usurped their powers. I don't know which decree 34 you read, but we are talking about Nigeria now not Libya or Liberia or some other countries. 4 Likes |

joeyfire: It was because Ironsi had installed the Unitary Govt System that Gowon could not be compelled to reinstate Resource Control . Power was now at the Centre and the Centre could do as it liked. The Centre could now control all the Oil resources as it pleased. Why would you expect the Northern Military Leaders who were enjoying the Oil money now choose to reverse the decree that gave it to them in the first place? The East was rebuilt after the War. Any infrastructure deficit happened after Gowon. In the 70s the East didn't lack infrastructure. Also after the War the FG gave many Easterners Scholarships to study abroad especially in America as part of the recovery process. 4 Likes |

kingzizzy:Is that so? So the unification decree unified the civil service only, but did not take control of the resources? How was the unified civil service to be funded then? You are now insinuating that a single civil service controlled from Lagos all will serve all 4 Regions. Who would then determine the policy of these 4 Regions or will the single civil service formulate 4 different policies for each of the regions? 6 Likes |

Dedetwo: They were not overthrown. They were assassinated. So there is a grand plot to wipe out premiers in North and West to pave way for a unitary take over of the country by East. Few years before, Azikiwe had laid foundation for the plot in his address at Glover Memorial Hall to the Ibo Town Union where he bragged that the Ibo is "destined" to lead Africa. How is Ibo position in 66 different from Buhari and Fulani position in 2020? Both believe their ethnic group is "destined" to lead Africa. Fulani is wiping people off the way Ibo did on Nigerians....and they are islamizing the nation. Ibo ruined this country! 7 Likes |

imhotep: After premiers were assassinated the regional govt was still intact. Gowon, with Murtala were moving towards extricating North from Nigeria. Thats where "ARABA" phrase originated from. Araba in Hausa means separate. Britain intervened and stopped that Araba. Then Ojukwu started throwing in his curveball.....dissapointed that their grand plot had been demolished. This new problem with Ojukwu culminated in war....by which time all the organs of regional government had been displaced and the uniform men are now used to a new power and privilege they did not know before. So the bullshyte started by Ibo continued even when others were in power. 2 Likes |

Christistruth00: Dont miss the central point. The regions still had control of their resources under Ironsi. Gowon was the person that TOOK AWAY resource control. Northern military leaders did not have access to oil money until Gowon started sharing it to them. It is Gowon's fault that Lagos State did not even smell the N400 Billion revenue collected from Apapa port in 2019 Why do you think Easterners started moving to other regions in large numbers after the war? There was NO infrastructure developed in the East after the war by the FG. Its not even an issue for argument. Asides from the Niger Bridge that they HAD to build, name one that Gowon built after the war. The 70s was the worst period in terms of development |

joeyfire: Before the War Easterners were already all over NIgeria. Zik and Ojukwu were born in Zungeru, Major Okafor in Kano,Ironsi grew up in Kano and Ifeajuna acquired an Ijesha Yoruba accent from living in Ilesha. The British described the South East as an overpopulated Area and encouraged the people to migrate to other parts of NIgeria for Work and Education opportunities. All the damaged Schools roads railways Markets Hospitals Onitsha Market the biggest in West Africa at the time were rebuilt. 2 Likes |

Christistruth00: Of course there were Easterners all over the country, mainly as colonial staff. Same way you had people from other regions in the East. I am talking about the large wave of migration AFTER the war that exists till today. |

joeyfire: Let us be very honest the Population of the South East is beyond what the Area can sustain considering the fact that many of them are also farmers in addition to traders. Unless you want to turn most of the Farmland in the East into residential Areas. Accepted that the Northern Military after Gowon and Obasanjo were not as interested nor diligent in building and maintaining nfrastructure in the East not even anywhere else except the parts of Lagos and Abuja where they lived and worked. 1 Like |

DMerciful:Believe me nobody is restless about igbos going. Igbos (I mean igboland) contribute very little into the national purse, so their going would not make much difference to the national purse. The problem is most of the "igbo want to go" strategy had been nothing other than emotional rants and insulting others tribes. If the igbos truly want to go, they should take physical practical steps. For the records it's the greed and struggle for power of the political elites, especially the WaZoBia group that ruined the country. 3 Likes |

joeyfire: No matter how many times and how loud you scream it, you cannot change a truth to a lie - IT WAS GENERAL IRONSI THAT TOOK AWAY FINANCIAL AND POLITICAL AUTONOMY FROM THE REGIONS. General Gowon only took advantage of the situation created by General Ironsi. How can Lagos State smell the N400 Billion revenue collected from Apapa port in 2019, when General Ironsi unified and federalised the customs in January 1966? 4 Likes |
