Odin13:Lol, like we say about you people, your hubris and pride will always be why you will struggle to lead in a nation as dynamic and multi faceted as Nigeria, as you will keep falling into obvious traps set for you. First of all, in what you read from the original post, who was it that everybody unanimously agreed should lead the country, clearly IBB said it was his Boss General Danjuma. Now why are you not calling Danjuma a coward for refusing to accept the clear nomination of everyone... were all the officers their not trained properly and suppose to know that OBJ was the number 2 and suppose to automatically take over? In fact, not only did Danjuma refuse to be HOS, he even refused to serve as no 2, going as far to look for a much junior officer to come and lord it over him! I will post what Danjuma had to say after this and you will realise that this your pride and uncompromising spirit has always been the reason una struggle for this country. In fact I am almost certain that if President Yaradua's vice had been from the SE, he would have struggled to successfully succeed him the manner GEJ was able to and win over a nation, at least temporarily. Anyway, to cut the long story short, a bloody coup had just been commited against a Northern Muslim Head of state again, and this time not by the "imagined" traditional rivals of the North, you Igbos, but by what would come to be termed as "Christian" Middle belt officers (who (middlebeltans) in fact were always the ones spearheading coups in Nigeria after learning from una). The Northerners as usual were tagging the coup as a "christian coup" again to benefit the middlebelt and ensure another middle belter in the shape of Gowon or something like that takes over. Now do you expect Danjuma, to be stupid enough to fall for this trap?? As for OBJ, he had been a political officer for a while after his exploits in defeating Biafra. He had no troops under his command and it very obvious that he understood he was at an obvious disadvantage when his main rival was not only the same rank as him, but had the backing of most of the troops who were also mainly from his part of the country. Another thing you people forget, that most of the NCOs have always been from the middlebelt anyway. Anyway there was no way he could force his claim without complete loyalty of the troops or at least a guarantee of it, which only the person who holds their loyalty can give (Danjuma in this case). This was a similar scenario that Ogundipe faced and tried unfortunately to paint and get into the head of Ojukwu, but Ojukwu was to stubborn and not listening. People should learn from history (especially recent history), but its clear some certain people in this country struggle with this. Even the revenge counter-coup of 1966, Gowon was not the one that started it or was interested in it; it was the likes of Murtala Mohammed, Danjuma and other middle belt soldiers as usual. The coup plotters unanimously agreed they wanted Muritala who they knew and was their co-conspirator, but he cleverly insisted that it would be wrong for them to copy there predecessors and benefit from it directly, lets allow a "Christian" Northern gentleman lead, someone that would be acceptable to many other Nigerians, and probably more importantly to the British. Murtala made Gowon head of state, and when he got tired of waiting, took it back from him in his own coup.....but within 8 months he suffered the consequences of behaving like you people. Kudos needs to be given to the likes of the Danjumas, OBJs and Ogundipes for living long enough to tell their tale and not being taken down by careless bullets all so they could foolishly boast they were brave, uncompromising and courageous soldiers.... and by the way 99.9% of people lose their bravery when they face a barrel and know certain death awaits them, by now you should be old enough to know that only happens in Hollywood and Bollywood movies. If you don't believe me, listen to the way Danjuma tells the story of how General Ironsi and co were begging him and mere soldiers with him just before they murdered them. 56 Likes 8 Shares |

EmperorIsaac:Their have been many coups in Nigeria, in fact in West Africa, why is this the only one people keep trying to rewrite history over and over again? In the last successful coup in Nigeria, Abacha took over power with the full support of M.K.O Abiola, with what history showed us, does that now mean it was an Abiola coup...I mean who was the ultimate beneficiary? Look only God knows the hearts of men, people can say they love you like there is no tomorrow and claim they are planning coups for you, but ACTIONS speak louder than words! These young men embarked on a bloody coup that was 95% successful and all of a sudden when their kinsmen spoke to them in hushed voices they reversed course and gave up without a fight. Eventually their kinsman took over. That is a fact...and Awolowo continued to rot in jail for another 6 months until Gowon ensured he was released on only his 2nd day as Head of State with no strings attached, another indisputable fact. Logically, if anyone wanted to call any coup Awolowo's coup, it would be Gowon's own! Anything else is just idle chit chat. 2 Likes 1 Share |

IBB is just telling stories to the gullible. At least his childhood bossom friend has admitted it that a marabout had already predicted he would be Head of State when they were children, so it's obvious just like Macbeth he was willing to do whatever it was to make that prediction come true. Its funny that the same marabout never predicted that the person that accompanied him would also be head of state....which proves that when God wants to bless you, his blessings comes with no strings attached and with peace of mind which Abdulsalami is enjoying with good health and admiration. 1 Like |

December 26, 1999 Netters: Based again on several questions asked in connection with earlier postings re-Aburi, some further clarifications from the history books need to be made: 1. HIERARCHY OF THE NIGERIAN ARMY AS OF JANUARY 1, 1966 I really cannot tell for a fact the ENTIRE hierarchy of the Nigerian Military as of January 1, 1966, but from various sources, as far as I could gather, these are the names and their order of seniority: **Major-General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, GOC, Nigerian Army *Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari, Commander, Second Brigade *Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun, Commander, First Brigade Brigadier Babatunde Ogundipe, Chief of Staff, Supreme HQ *Colonel Kur Mohammed, Army Chief of Staff Colonel Bassey Colonel Robert Adeyinka Adebayo Colonel Ralph Shodeinde, Commandant, NMTC *Lt.-Col. Abogo Largema, Commanding, 4th Battalion (Ibadan) *Lt.-Col. Yakubu Pam, the Adjutant-General *Lt.-Col. Arthur Unegbe, QuarterMaster-General Lt.-Col. Imo Lt.-Col. Hillary Njoku, Commanding Officer, 2nd Battalion (Ikeja) **Lt.-Col. Adekunle Fajuyi Lt.-Col. David Ejoor Lt.-Col. Yakubu Gowon Lt.-Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu, Commanding Officer (Kano) Lt.-Col. Kurubo Major Hassan Katsina * Killed during January 15 Coup * Killed during July 1966 Coup These may not have been ALL the officers; one or two orders might be out of sequence, but essentially I might be 80-95% right. 2. WHY OGUNDIPE DID NOT BECOME SUPREME COMMANDER About Ogundipe, Ojukwu, and Gowon, let me give you two accounts, one from the biography of Obasanjo which I have just checked on, and the other from Kole Omotoso's "Just Before Dawn": 2.A "Olusegun Obasanjo: In the Eyes of Time - A Biography of the African Statesman" - by Onukaba Adinoyi-Ojo page 101 ff QUOTE With Ironsi dead, Brig. Baba Ogundipe, the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, was the next most senior officer in the country. But he realized that the Northern officers had not risked their lives to install him in power as General Ironsi's successor. Perhaps fearing that the coup plotters might eliminate him as well, he escaped from the country and re-emerged later in London where he was appointed Nigeria's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. For three days - July 29 to August 1, 1966 - the nation's blood-smeared presidency remained vacant. It was an interregnum. While Nigeria waited in anguish for a leader, Northern officers led by Gowon and [MURTALA] Muhammed were at the Ikeya Cantonment debating whether or not to lead their nation out of the union. The intervention of some federal permanent secretaries, the British High Commission, and the American Embassy in Lagos, as well as the presence of a few saner and reasonable officers among them, persuaded the group to allow the North remain within a united Nigeria. Having grudgingly agreed to a united Nigeria, the officers chose and installed Gowon, the most senior officer from the North, who had not participated in the coup, as Nigeria's second military Head of State on August 1, 1966. The coup planners (the list included Martin Adamu, Shehu Musa Yar'Adua, Muhammadu Buhari, Pam Nwatkom, Ibrahim Babangida, John Longham, Garba Duba, Jerry Useni, Ibrahim Bako, Musa Usman and Shittu Alao) wanted Major Muhammed to be the Head of State. But Muhammed said Gowon, an affable, good-looking man, should lead it because he was the most senior - not that he was the most effective or capable, or the most intellectually-equipped, or the most dynamic or the most knowledgeable - officer from the North......." Page 106 ...The times were still troubling. The wobbling Nigerian nation could hardly amuse herself. Nigeria was dying, in bits. Since the coups of January and July, things had not been the same again. The ship of state cleaved disastrously on January 15. The crack widened on July 29. The crack became a frightening gulf. Each new day, the gulf deepened. When Governor Ojukwu of the Eastern Region heard of Gowon's appointment as Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces in Nigeria, he said it was abnormal. His argument was that in the absence of Ironsi, whose death had not then been officially announced, the next most senior army officers, Brig. Ogundipe and Col. Bassey, should assume command. Ojukwu, therefore, refused to recognize Gowon's appointment. Ojukwu's argument, though logical, did not seem to have reflected the absurd reality of a military coup. Coup plotters decide the helmsmen. Once a coup is successful, army hierarchy and discipline are worthless as the bullets expended in the exercise or the constitution of the land which had been tossed aside. Ojukwu's protest was only logical in an ideal situation, which a coup is not..... UNQUOTE So, in fact, from this account (which I just checked into), Ojukwu was arguing for either Ogundipe or Bassey. 2.B Let me provide another account concerning Ogundipe, this time from Kole Omotosho's "fact-ional" book, "Just Before Dawn" (Spectrum Books, 1988): Page 255 ff QUOTE Brigadier Ogundipe was the most senior army officer after the eliminations of January 1966. When he learnt on the morning of July 29th that there had been trouble in Ibadan, he tried to bring the situation under control. He sent Lieutenant-Colonel Yakubu Gowon who was just resuming duty that morning as the commander of 2nd Nigerian Army based at Ikeja [REPLACING LT.COL. HILLARY NJOKU] to go to the barracks at Ikeya and deal with the rebels since that was where they were operating from. Gowon went. "Can someone find me Joseph Garba?", bellowed Brigadier Ogundipe. "I think I'm still supposed to be the chief of staff Supreme Headquarters. What is going on in this place?" Some senior officers who were coming and going, trying to find out what was happening, heard the voice of Brigadier Ogundipe and came to his office. They were Commodore Akinwale Wey, Alhaji Kam Salem, Lieutenant-Colonel Anwunah and Major Mobolaji Johnson. They were there when Captain Joseph Garba came into the office of the chief of staff, Supreme Headquarters. "Can you explain what it means when one of your soldiers says he would not obey me unless you say so? What is going on here? Who is running things here? Me or you?" "Excuse me, sir..." "That is why I called you because I wanted your excuse." "The fact is...." "The fact that I know right now, is that if a soldier in this army says he will not obey me unless his captain told him so then we are finished. There is no army any more. I should simply throw away this uniform. Where is the pride of being a soldier, of being an officer if a soldier would not obey an officer? What have we turned the Nigerian Army into?" There was no way Joseph Garba could make any explanation under the circumstances. Brigadier Ogundipe had been traumatized by that one experience. Captain Garba stood there watching his superior officer, saying nothing. Finally the brigadier sat down and waved Garba away. He noticed that the salute he got was for form's sake...... (At a later encounter with Garba, Ogundipe said) "Go back and ask them the minimum condition they (THE NORTHERN MUTINEERS) are prepared to give to stay in Nigeria." Once more, Joseph Garba got into his Land-rover and drove to Ikeja. As he was leaving, a call came in from Onitsha. It was Lieutenant-Colonel Ojukwu, military governor of the Eastern Region. Ogundipe took the telephone. "Hello? What's happening? Where is the Supreme Commander (IRONSI)?" "Nobody knows where the supreme commander has been taken to. He and Lieutenant-Colonel Fajuyi were arrested in Ibadan yesterday. The northern troops have staged a counter-coup. They have sent their families back to the North and they want to break up the country." "Is it not possible for you to become the supreme commander? You are the next most senior officer in the army. I will...." "Forget it! An ordinary soldier would not obey me." "I will announce my support for you within thirty minutes of your announcing your take over." "Listen Ojukwu, forget that. We are at present negotiating with the coup-makers to find out what they want. Keep in touch." "Come on!", shouted Ojukwu into the telephone. Brigadier Ogunidpe held the receiver away from his face. "Take a risk. Shout at them. Go on the air and say something...." There was silence from Ogundipe's side. He wast thinking to himself: 'It is my life on the line not yours.' (OJUKWU CONTINUED) "....Tell the country you are the next most senior officer, you do not know where the supreme commander is, but you are trying to control the situation....Are you still there?" After a long pause, "Yes, I am here...I will do that." Brigadier Ogundipe did broadcast throughout the country declaring a state of emergency for Lagos, Abeokuta and Ibadan, and saying that things would soon return to normal. Lieutenant-Colonel Ojukwu got back to Brigadier Ogundipe as soon as he had listened to the broadcast at 2:30 pm. "That is not what I meant! I meant something strong. Say you are stepping into Ironsi's shoes and that's it!" Brigadier Ogundipe just listened. Not getting satisfaction, Ojukwu dropped the telephone. Later that evening, Brigadier Ogundipe recorded another message to the nation calming everyone and saying there was now no cause for alarm since everything was under control......... Lieutenant-Colonel David Ejoor telephoned from Benin wanting to know what was going on. The chief of staff [OGUNDIPE] told him what he had told Lieutenant-Colonel Ojukwu. "Why haven't you taken over them?" The chief of staff explained the situation. "But I am sure the rest of the members of the Supreme Military Council would support you." "Thank you David but it is no use. We'll keep you informed or you'll find out what we work out with the coup makers." When the phone call was over, Brigadier Ogundipe took a piece of paper and wrote a letter of resignation from the army and sent it to the Ministry of Defence. He then drove to his house...... [AT A LATER DATE...] ......The telephone rang. Murtala Muhammed picked it up, then turned to Yakubu Gowon. "It's Ojukwu. He wants to speak to you." Murtala covered the mouthpiece, looked at Gowon directly and said: "Now, I want to know every word he says to you before you reply." The others [IN THE ROOM IN ADDITION TO GOWON AND MURTALA MUHAMMED: JUSTICE MOHAMMED BELLO, SHITTU ALAO OF THE AIR FORCE, BUBA USMAN OF MILITARY INTELLIGENCE] nodded in agreement. Gowon could be kind, he was not the kind of ruthless person who should deal with these people, thought Murtala Muhammed. The only way to ensure that he did not make any commitment which they could not accept was to monitor every word that he had to say. The telephone conversation was therefore very slow. Ojukwu was recording the conversation. "What is going on?", Ojukwu asked. Gowon narrated the incidents of the last few days as innocently as possible, using the passive tense to maintain ambiguity. "The other ranks mutinied and deaths have occurred. The supreme commander and the military governor of the West were arrested and nothing is known of their whereabouts." "So what is being done? The most senior officer is Brigadier Ogundipe let him step in and restore order until we find out what has happened to the supreme commander." "That is out of the question." "Why?" "The boys who organized the revolt insist that they want the North to go separate." "Well?" "That I should step in as head of state and supreme commander of the armed forces." "You can take over Lagos but definitely not in the East." "I have already been in contact with all the other members of the Supreme Military Council and they agree that I should take over." "That is impossible! There are other senior officers in the army, in the armed forces." Including the armed forces, the line of succession would have been something like this: Commodore Wey, head of the Nigerian Navy; Brigadier Ogundipe who had already resigned from the army; Colonel Adeyinka Adebayo who would have been as unacceptable as Ogundipe; Lieutenant-Colonel Bassey, Lieutenant-Colonel Imo, Lieutenant-Colonel Njoku who would be anathema to the mutineers. Then came in alphabetical order, Lieutenant-Colonel David Ejoor, Lieutenant-Colonel Yakubu Gowon and Lieutenant-Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu. Both Gowon and Ojukwu had been promoted to the level of Lieutenant-Colonel on the same date of 1 April, 1964. "Listen, " Ojukwu continued, "if you want to take over simply as chief of staff of the army and only as such in Lagos, so that you can bring the situation under control, I shall cooperate with you so that Ogundipe or whoever is next in seniority can assume power." "As I said earlier, " Gowon replied, "the other governors have agreed to my take over." "But there is no governor in the West," answered Ojukwu. "All the same, I have talked to someone who can answer for the West and he agrees with my taking over." "I do not recognize you as supreme commander," insisted Ojukwu. "I am making a statement to the nation later tonight anyway." Ojukwu dropped the telephone and switched off the tape recorder. He got up and lit a cigarette. There was no way he would recognize Gowon as head of state and supreme commander. That would make nonsense of military discipline. Moreover, if he withheld his recognition of Gowon as head of state and supreme commander of the armed forces, he may win concessions for himself and his own people. But it was so difficult to accept Gowon as head of state. Whatever happend he would ensure that he was in charge as far as the East was concerned and thuse preserve a power base. Gowon could do what he liked in Lagos. UNQUOTE 3. CONCLUDING COMMENTS The above accounts show that Ogundipe was not as passive as always depicted, but recognized rather wisely that the odds against him in the face of implacable (and overwhelming number of) coup-makers from the North, in the face of an implied threat of bolting the country, was insurmountable despite Ojukwu's far-away (and Ejoor's weak "me-too"  assurances. Ringing in Ogundipe's head must have been the a re-collection that Ironsi who was not part of the January 1966 coup and yet became Head of State had most probably been eliminated. He did not want to be a second casualty of the same story-line: coup non-participant, coup beneficiary, counter-coup victim. Furthermore, he must have remembered two Yoruba idioms, which say that: (i) "he whose head is used to crack open a coco-nut is most unlikely to ever drink of its sweet juice or eat the fruit." (ii) "if you die fighting to claim a lost item (not yours) that you merely found, what then do you expect the real owner of the item to do?" Some would call those Abiola-ic "proverbs of cowardice." On the other hand, Ojukwu seemed to harbor a pathological mental-block against Gowon's ascension to supreme commander; his principled and logical position appeared too idealistically rigid in the face of the unusual situation on the ground. This adversarial position between Gowon and Ojukwu in July/August 1966, among other reasons, prepared the way for Aburi six months later - and secession and war five-seven months after Aburi. Facts are stubborn. Bolaji Aluko 1 Like |

My belief is that this is taken seriously to avoid prejudice i.e. if we know someone has committed a crime before, it is likely you would rest on the assumption to accuse him (or suppose his guilt) if another similar scenario occured. In their opinion, it does not allow for fair hearings and is detrimental to an evidence based approach. Their opinion. 1 Like |

I am aware that in the UK they take everyone's data quite seriously, while I agree that is commendable, I do not believe adults with criminal histories deserve that privilege especially when it's clear that lack of this knowledge can affect other innocent people adversely. Even some prominent politicians in Nigeria have enjoyed this shield as they committed crimes in the UK but came over to Nigeria, became governors and no one knew or could have access, until they later went back to the UK to commit more crimes and their previous criminal history came out in the public through the UK media. Medicine after death you may say (at least for us Nigerians). Another angle is if the UK says a man and a man can marry, does it mean I as a Nigerian must also agree especially when it is illegal here.

But just for the sake of our culture and humanity, this is AFRICA and not the USA nor Europe, if an elder tries to correct you, the least you can do is resist the correction politely instead of assaulting him. We all saw the video and there was only one clear aggressor, which was the little girl who even had the temerity to LIE that the man was assaulting her in public and grabbing her breast. All the people their were her fellow students and none of them supported her, which should show to people who don't have common sense that the man was not inappropriately touching her in anyway. If it was UK or US, she would be cautioned as she has no right to film on the school premises while also filming others without there consent. If it was the UK she'd be arrested and cooling of in jail for GBH (grevious bodily harm). In Africa where we are this man did nothing wrong, in fact the only thing he did not do right (as for me an African man) was give her one good defensive slap to reset her brain. The girl is mannerless and disgrace to wherever she comes from and if you ask me her mother (who they are saying is a lecturer) deserves to be seriously sanctioned for bringing up this kind of rubbish adult. There is nothing wrong with Gen Z, there main problem is the failed parents they have that are refusing to bring them up with proper African values and telling them they can get away with whatever they like as long as they make a scene. Please do not repeat the nonsense that the man commited battery, you are helping no one and encouraging nonsense. 1 Like |

davodyguy:Lol, you are right, I did not even see that in his comments before. Imagine an educated man, that is suppose to be one of the best legal minds in the country, saying that states are struggling to exist yet the solution is to add one more....chai, all because of selfish interest and the fact that politicians (especially the ones from the south) form most of his clientele. Like people have said before, I wonder what one did wrong to be born in a country of these kind off selfish, wicked and insane human beings!!! 1 Like |

davodyguy:Uncle, google is your friend if you know nothing about your country. Benue borders 2 South Eastern states and 1 South South state....of all the northern states, Benue is probably the least Northern and shares a lot of culture with Igbos and SS. No patriotic Nigerian that is not a thief or a politician will ask for more states when we see clearly what the massive amount of career politicians are doing to us and costing us....just more waste to give some useless people more chances to steal and impoverish the vast 200 million of us. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Nigerians are just noisemakers and wasteful people. Why not take one state from the North and add it to the South to balance the equation as 18+ 18.....are you telling me with all the so called professors we have someone cannot suggest something like adding Benue state to SE and pulling Taraba from NW back to middlebelt.....we are just a country populated with empty vessels. 10 Likes |

There is little he can do as he has already collected your money for 2 years. Tell him not to stress you and if he continues take the matter to the police but maKe sure you have money on you. I doubt even our usually corrupt police will support him on this matter as they'll understand what you are going through. 3 Likes |
| Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Which Should I Choose: Analyst In A Tier1 Bank And PA In An FMCG by AndroBlaze: 2:54pm On Feb 04, 2025 |
Esthered:Ok, from what you said and from the other posts, we need to know what her priorities are. Currently I'd say she should go for the FMCG job as its more secure, will be less stressful and pays more for now. She's an ET in the bank and she'll need to do another 8- 10 years before she can dream of being an AM...and even then she may still not have proper managerial duties. Let her find out more about the FMCG, but if its a big one and stable, she should go for it. Positions will always be available in the bank and very likely if she chooses to come back she will get a better role. 1 Like |
