I noticed, it's only middle belt and sountherners that were often executed for coups in Nigeria. Middle belt and sountherners lost enough men in the military. I will check which tribe died more in the C130 plane crash of 1992.i hope my fears won't be confirmed

Lol.. That is what made his coup fail.. But I kinda understand what he was trying to do. The seat of power was in Lagos. Orkar and Co were not concerned with what happens up north. Thier mission was to grap power in the Lagos centre and then give conditions to the north if they still want to be part of Nigeria. If it came to a fight, they will have the upper hand. The North will have no choice other than accepting thier conditions. The North is land locked, No oil etc and depend on the south to live well
you are wrong. The north is a special land that can produce any crop and there are many minerals in the north. The discovery of the oil down south made many northerners lazy.

WHy are they trying to fix what White Folk created to exploit Black folk…

Tribalism is a world phenomena as Europeans are more tribal than una and live in peace in their tribal nations ruled by their kings…

While you all are living with strangers because Oyibo said to do so in order to steal your resources and your ancient RELICS…

Who are the boss biatches and who are the N I G G E R S ?

During the trial of Major Gideon Orkar and his fellow conspirators, they reportedly told the military tribunal that their coup was in three steps. The last step was that unless all the junior officers were killed, there would be no hiding place for the Babangida regime. Two years later, over 150 middle-grade officers died in that C-130 plane crash on September 26, 1992.
