You are a slowpoke. How free and fair was the trial?
Its a proven fact that people bereft of ideas, knowledge etc, always resort to hurling insults in the face of an arguement or problem much higher than them and which they dont know much about. So u can see where u truely belong?

Not this case. That was the Gideon Orkar coup in 1990. The case referenced here happened in 85/86
it was the first coup attempt that made them to start building Aso Rock. FCT was first proclaimed by muritala, but na just on paper. Na d first coup make IBB start pursuing d relocating agenda and building FCT. Na d second coup make am run finally even before they have completed d project to d kind of fortress dey wey planning it to be. Fear Lagos soldiers mehnnn, dey are the Expendables and the Fast & Furious gang of Nigeria military. Any coup wey soldiers dem no plan for Lagos, no b coup, na boys scout meeting grin

Former President Ibrahim Babangida was the best man on the day his friend and coursemate, Major General Mamman Vatsa wedded his heartthrob, Safiya (nee Nwaeza Onwuka), an Efik from Calabar.

However, Mamman Vatsa was later implicated in a plot to overthrow President Ibrahim Babangida in 1985. Vatsa was arrested few days before Christmas in 1985 (four months after the advent of Babangida's presidency), tried by a Special Military Tribunal headed by Major General Charles Ndiomu, and was executed in March 1986.

You are a sadist.. Must you bring this topic today he is celebrating his birthday. If Mamman Vatsa love Babangida that much, why did he plotted to overthrow his government and take over power?

Stop replying to post after smoking Ganja!. What did you just write.


Vasta's wife is simply an Igbo woman from Calabar. Igbo tribe extends way beyond core Igbo states. There are Igbos in Southern Cameroon.

You accused me of smoking, but your post actually was indicative of someone who just smoked and inhaled. I said this because what you wrote actually confirmed what I wrote, but you made it looked like I wrote something else.

I made it clear that she isn't Fulani as someone mistook her for because of her name. I made it clear that she was from Calabar and only took up Islamic name because she married a Muslim. There was no place I said she was Muslim from the North. Next time, try to comprehend what was written before replying, okay?

She is not Fulani sir. Her case was like the case of Miriam Babangida, who converted to Islam and changed her name to a Muslim name after getting married to a Northern Muslim.
You’re wrong, Maryam never changed her name, her name has always being Maryam. Her father named Okogwu an igbo man from Asaba while her mother is from Niger.

This is a strange stream of thought. Who the hell was MKO?

Lol MKO was the richest man in Nigeria all through 70s and 80s, as the "Adenuga of today* communication through ITT and RCN.. you basically can't conduct a successful coup without him, most of Soldiers in Signal brigade are his boys

You better ask your elders who MKO is and how he is directly involved in coups and counter coups

General Vasta was a traitor, at least to IBB.

He snitched on his friend when he tried to overthrow the current cow in Aso rock by leaking details of his friends coup to him.

When he failed, he tried to plot with LT. col. Musa Bitiyong to overthrow his friend using a farm loan to finance the coup. Karma being a bitch, his ally betrayed him and he was arrested and killed.

IBB only did what any military officer would do

Typical definition of WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!

Sad but its a standing rule in the military, if you plot a coup and it fails, death follows. IBB ruled through the Armed Forces Ruling Council (just like the present day Federal Executive Council) and they must ratify all sentences before its carried out. That's the rule. I remembered the day the execution took place, IBB couldn't address the Nation, he deferred it to Maj. Gen. Domkat Bali to make the announcement. It was that hurting.

Happy birthday to the destroyer of Nigeria's economy. The day he borrowed such a huge loan from International Monetary Fund was the day Naira was devalued. He is one of the brains behind our sufferings today. God will judge them one by one. Nonsense.
