'Revolutionary justice is not based on legal precedence but on moral conviction, we are not executing thieves or political opponents, we are executing murderers'- Fidel Casto to critics of executions by the Cuban socialist government in the 1950s.

If General Babangida had led the 1966 coup, it would have been devoid of sentiments and it would have been a success. He planned a coup, the one that removed the inept and corrupt General Buhari government in 1985 and no life was lost. He consolidated the army, convinced his juniors as well as his colleagues then deployed armoured tanks to the police headquarters to hem them in for the moment. No life was lost, the regime heads that defiantly returned to Nigeria were arrested and merely placed under house arrest despite that they approved the death by firing squad of drug smugglers with a retroactive decree, a judicial murder of people better than them. One of the young men thus killed said he does not steal and if he had known he would be killed, he would not have smuggled drugs. Despite this, General Buhari was spared. So a person of General Babangida's temperament, who sees life as sacred would have carried through the 1966 coup properly. You kill ruthlessly those that deserve it and take caution not to kill any innocent. If you engineered rigged elections in the West and deployed police to kill thousands of protesters during the wetie riots, you deserve to be killed, you do not deserve to die peacefully in your sleep, since you are not a higher specie of human than those people you ordered killed even after you cheated them. So someone like President Babangida would have singled out those that will be killed execution style and those to be arrested. If I were PM Balewa, I would have resigned rather than dance to Sir Ahmadu Bello's tunes, that way, he would have survived.  Sir Bello had already made his stand known in several interviews, so as the PM, you had to hold your ground or you fall with him. PM Balewa fell with him. You dont kill thousands of innocents protesting against you for brazenly cheating them and expect to go free. Something would have happened one way or the other. If not this coup then the other. Egypt, Ghana had already fallen.

In thesame way, if the AG leaders hounded to jail for treasonable felony had really planned a coup and got it up to the stage of firing a single gunshot, then it surely would have been successful and neatly done with people slain ruthlessly that deserve to be so slain, any dead innocent would be the victim of an accident not of an assassination. Those people were Ogboni who do things with common sense and people older than them back then would caution them.

However, after all said and done, the advise still holds 'If you are working for a government or an entity, killing people without remorse, you are working as a politician for such a government, you better resign, that is in your best interest because you are culpable as well, if you are urging people on as they kill thousands of innocents, then you are culpable, because your life is not more important than that of those people you see as cannon fodder. To a real empathetic human being, human life is sacred, otherwise you are a beast. So if you are a member of such an entity, the best course of action is to resign in solidarity with the people unjusly slain, because your life is in no way more important than that of those people being killed.

When you complain of Igbo soldiers killing your leaders in an Igbo coup, remember the thousands of Yoruba farmers, traders and etc, innocent people, mowed down by the then FG under the orders of PM Balewa's government. It would be wrong to discount those people while blaming some people for killing your leaders.

So, resignation remains your best bet or line of action when you find yourself suddenly camped on the wrong side of history. The best bet to save your own heads.

Afonga is a name of one of our prominent warriors, it's never a symbol of reproach. Get educated!
Please kindly answer the above question and stop acting like a bee victim.

Frustrated Afonja, take your silly story to your Fulani masters for vetting. I'd advise you to stop being slimy as the snake your tribe is known for.

....i don't see igbo conquered the president in the nearest future, sorry to say,but it is true, unless igbo called his youths to order, because of what is going on today, look here at NL, igbo openly show their hatred to yoruba and hausa, fulani! in which way igbo we get to the presidency? I love okorocha, I love amaechi, Ngige is also a nationalist, but igbo shouldn't wait until when one of them stand for president before igbo begin to sell them to other region, it will be too late, even the people of the east should be blame for Gej failure, obasanjo bring gej but igbo hijack him and surrounded him, rule Nigeria as ruling family. forget that they can't force other region to endorse gej!. igbo must continue trade their presidency from now! hatred can't take you to any where, there are three natural regions in Nigeria, beside North, West and East, other artificial zones were mere delusion, 2/3 of these zone will win any election in Nigeria! if igbo thing it can win without other ok good luck!

Igbos don't need the presidency or political posts to survive unlike the Yorubas.

You Yorubas go about heating up the polity with your abuses, lies and propaganda against Igbos and yet you had the guts to come online to grandstand carelessly. Yorubas are nurtured with bile-filled hatred to not appreciate the good in other people, and that will be your greatest undoing in life.

It's ridiculous for you to stay in your bedroom and determine for the Igbos on how to go about their lives. Igbos are not myopic and deluded as to be manipulated by political jobbers to do their biddings. Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani elites cannot endorse or determine for the Igbos whom to vote for in general elections. Igbos are not gullible like you lots as to be brainwashed with your media propaganda and lies.

Instead of you Yorubas to go attend to the myriads of problems bedevilling your people you're here wailing on another people who are determined to have a separate existence from you. Face OduaArewanistan republic and leave Igbos alone.

And get this fact: if Nigeria subsists a Yoruba person cannot be president before an Igbo person. Deal with that fact and stop disgracing your people in the public.
