The last time a South Easterner led Nigeria, Ironsi, we still had 4 Regions and resources control, July 1966

We were rated with other countries such as China, South Korea and Singapore, all of whom have since left Nigeria bebind and zoomed ahead

Then came Gowon(NC), Murutala(NW), Obasanjo(SW), Shagari(NW), Buhari(NW), Babangida(NC), Shonekan(SW), Abacha(NW), Abubakar(NE), Obasanjo(SW), Yaradua(NW), GEJ(SS), Buhari(NW), Tinubu(SW)

A total of 57 of failure in which we have seen all 4 Region and resource control disappear, had civil war, had multiple military coups, seen 36 unviable states appear, witnessed multiple recessions, saw the Naira crash, watch the economy nosedive, become world poverty capital and 8th most insecure country on earth


Those who said they can do better, those who said they have the capacity to take Nigeria higher, those who said they have vision, only spent the last 57 years bringing Nigeria to the edge of hellfire where it now dangles precariously

The moment Merit was replaced with Nepotism and tribalism was the beginning of the destruction of Nigeria, read this article and see where the problem started after the British gave independence and left, there was supposed to be healthy competition in governance but Nepotism and tribalism became the order, I also feel the article gives clues to what led to the first coup and some people still blame the Igbos only without knowing what led to the coup..

Ironsi introduced unitary system. Stop trying to revise history.

Igbos have been VP, Senate presidents, CBN governors, Finance Minister, Labor etc . They have also held other key posts like Major Ihejirika. They have also been awarded many govt contracts (Arthur Eze, Ernest Obiejesi, Okorocha, offor, etc).

some of your tribesmen have contributed to visa difficulties and bans due to drug trafficking (my own tribe self follow with 419 and Yahoo) . Every major tribe has contributed to the Nigeria we have today.

Decree 8 was passed by Gowon to undo the nonesense of Decree 34.

Then war broke out because Ojukwu insisted on dragging the newly created states of old Rivers and old Cross River into his Biafra.

I will be taking Ironsi's decree 34 apart and explaining it in detail to you Gidgiddy and later post Gowon's decree 8 that sought to abrogate all of Ironsi's useless decrees.

The Unification Decree: No. 34 of 1966


Decree No. 34

[24th May 1966]



THE FEDERAL MILITARY GOVERNMENT hereby decrees as follows:

[b]Subject to the provisions of this Decree, Nigeria shall on 24th May 1966 (in this decree referred to as ‘the appointed day’) cease to be a Federation and shall accordingly as from that day be a Republic, by the name of the Republic [/b]of Nigeria, consisting of the whole of the territory which immediately before that day was comprised in the Federation.

As from the appointed day
the Federal Military Government and the Federal Executive Council shall be known respectively as the National Military Government and The Executive Council;
the Federal territory shall be known as the Capital territory;
the provinces, including Kaduna capital territory, in schedule 1 of this Decree which immediately before the appointed day were respectively comprised in Northern Nigeria, Eastern Nigeria, Western Nigeria and Mid-Western Nigeria shall be known respectively as the Northern group of Provinces, the Eastern group of Provinces, the Western group of Provinces and the Mid-Western group of Provinces;


You can see from section 2 , that Ironsi reduced each region to a province under the control of the military dictatorship.

3. 1. As from the appointed day all offices in the service of the Republic in a civil capacity shall be offices in a single service to be known as the National Public Service; and accordingly all persons who immediately before that day are members of the public service of the Federation or of the public service of a Region shall on that day become members of the National Public Service:

Chapter 3 deals with the abolition of all regional civil services that were consolidated into one and referred to as the Federal civil service.

The affairs of the regions now reduced to provinces were to be administered by a single federal service.

4.1 Subject to the provisions of this section, power to appoint persons to hold or act in offices in the National Public Service (including power to make appointments on promotion and to confirm appointments) and to dismiss and exercise disciplinary control over persons holding or acting in such offices shall, as from the appointed day, vest in the National Public Service Commission.

Appointments and terminations at the newly created National Public Service to be done by a National Public Service Commission.

0koro and Chinedu can be appointed to head the ministries of health , education in the northern civil service . This was something that the Sardunna had already purged the northern civil service of its colonial Ibo hangover employees.

2. The National Public Service Commission may, with the approval of the Head of the National Military Government, either conditionally or unconditionally delegate any of its powers under subsection (1) above to any person or authority in Nigeria.

Further confirmation of centralising authority in managing the affairs of the now provisional regions by fiat appointment and directives from Ironsi and his Ibo dictatorship.

The coup of Jan 15 was to prevent the federal house in Lagos from deliberating and granting a Plebescite for the creation of COR region out of the old eastern region.

The coup timing was done to prevent the house from reconvening after a long Christmas break.

The first thing on the docket was a motion to force for a Plebescite for the minority people trapped in the old eastern region whose request for one at Enugu had fell on deaf ears in the Ibo dominated house.

The coup was meant to halt the representatives of other three regions plus that of the minority people from reaching a final decision to pass a vote for a Plebescite.

The ibos then did the most unimaginable thing and staged an ethnic cleansing coup and purge of both our politica and military heirachy.

Decree 34 was already written weeks before the coup and even has reference to Jan 16 (a day after the coup ) as it's effective date . The decree was delayed out of fear of exposing the real motive behind the coup and those who benefited from it and so that's why it was passed four months later o 24th of May.

You can see all the hallmarks of Zik in that decree with its inviolability reference to it being a Unification Decree.

the fear of the white man is a black tribe or group that will rise up and awaken the black consciousness in black people all over the world. They have an image of and brand the black negroid man as primitive primate , who can’t think above his food on improve themselves without stealing or being helped by somebody, timid , lazy , loves enjoyment and entertaining than work etc but they were rattled by behavior of igbos totally different from any one they have ever witnessed since their contact with black world- in their memoirs about igbos they said igbos are wild, unbridled, fearless, fiercely independent, hardworking, very fast learners etc and that was the reason the indirect rule system of British succeeded in all their colonies except igboland. The author of in Biafra black African died - a European mentioned igbos were the last to have contact with white people towards end of 18th century but in less than 30 years they have already dominated the army , civil service, commerce ,education etc that by the 50s according to Ademoyega ademola book Ahmadu bello started complaining to the British about igbo dominance and to add salt to injury igbos were the most vocal in the agitation for white people to give Nigeria independence which made the whites resent their audacity more . Inspite of the fact that almost all military barracks then were in north, igbos continued to enroll massively to chagrin of British.According to Ademoyega in 1964 British asked tafawa balewa to implement a quota system the will limit igbo massive numbers into the military which he did but igbos bypassed this by and continued enrolling by instead going to university first and become officers(2nd lieutenants) that quota system was cited by nzeogwu and co and their reason for the coup, Britain used Ironsi to scuttle the coup, same Britain made Ironsi believe he had their support and set him up to be killed, same Britain not only supported Nigeria 100% against Biafra but 80% of the fighter jets that killed innocent children and women and enforced economic blockade was manned by British fighter pilots. The queen and royal family never apologized till today . Beatles the biggest band group in the world in 1960s returned the national honor Britain awarded them because the level of hatred and bloodshed Britain unleashed on igbos traumatized them then. Nnamdi kanu was actually arrested after bringing up this issue about Britain , from events one doesn’t need a soothsayer to know they are behind where he is today from their actions and he may never get out of this. Shell BP controls Nigerian oil including NNPC. Shell former name is British petroleum and its still than , no Nigerian knows how much Nigeria earns from oil till today except she’ll BP and British royal family
