QUOTA SYSTEM IS ALMOST EVERY WHERE, EVEN IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I DO NOT LIKE THE SYSTEM BECAUSE IT BREEDS MEDIOCRITY.

The story was written by a southerner with a biased mind against northerners.

The northerners had a different account of what happened at the time.

The British was trying to subjugate the Muslim north while favouring a Christian south but they had to re address the situation when they found out it was leading to disaster as the northerners had sensed the plot. Which explains why there were hardly any Muslim south being commissioned at the time.

Heard Sunusi at different forum saying that there were policies (documented) where the British didn't want to educate northerners till they shed their Islamic identity which northerners refused (part of the reason a lot of northern parents then used to equate western education as leaving Islam hence stopping their kids from acquiring it), it was what lead to the creation of MSSN (Muslim Student Society of Nigeria, where the founders were forced to drop their Islamic sounding names for western ones, they were denied admission into schools because they were muslims and a lot of their identity), it wasn't till a few years to independence that Sardauna and other northern leaders sensed the plot (hence he said at a point the north was not ready for independence then, its either independence is shifted forward or the north pulls of the union called Nigeria which the east and west fought as they had they headstart against the north in everything education and military, it was an opportunity for them to lord it over the north but eventually, independence had to be postponed to the chagrin of the two sides) after which Sardauna started a massive education and military drive all over the north, at a point it got to taking children forcefully away from parents who had that initial notion.

Nigerian history has always been about each side looking after its own interest, in some cases, the overall interest, whenever you hear on side(especially down south) crying foul, its very likely they just are not the ones in control.

You are very correct. Southerners (particularly YEEBOS) only complain when they are not the ones benefiting from injustice.


The British were so anti-Islamic to point of not giving admissions to pupils with Muslim names except of they would convert to Christians.

Some of my uncles uncles had terrible stories to tell of how they were beaten and given all sorts of corporal punishments just because they still remained Muslims while in secondary school.

So was Murtala the one that made the Igbos all of this, or was it a privilege?

Then, the British used merit to admit cadets for officer training hence most of the northern soldiers couldn't meet up with the requirements.

But towards the twilight of British rule & immediate post independence era, the Northern controlled NPC government seized the opportunity to introduce the skewed & defective quota system to enable them force some of their own into the officer Corps.

Majority of these clique were the post July 1966 counter-coup plotter that will go on to dominate the politico-military space till date and bastardized the polity some more.
