huptin:Biafra was meant to happen. The British wanted the oil to be in the hands of their trusted friends in the north. Nzeagwu was an MI5 agent. Have you wondered why and how he ended up escaping from custody only to end up fighting for Biafra? Have you wondered asking why Gowon requested Nzeagwu be given a befitting military burial in a military cemetery in Kaduna after he was supposedly killed in action? The man was conscripted to destroy regional govt and later drafted to spy on Biafra. 4 Likes |

Jan 15, 1966 Coup mid-ranking officers, mainly Ibos , university graduates before joining the army, leftist ideology, Ultra Nationalist outlook. July, 1966 Counter Coup Northern Junior officers and NCOs (retaliatory and ethno religiously motivated). No clear political outlook. Continued with the policy of nationalization instigated by the Jan 15 coupists. 1975 Colonels Coup composed of Colonels to wrest power for themselves. The plotters of this coup against the Gowon govt where ironically the same set that bought him to power a decade ago. The coup was led by Murtala Mohammed who felt his turn to chop was long overdue. No clear political outlook for the country. Nationalization continua. 1976 Dimka Coup the drunkard's coup. Mainly Christian middle belt officers led by the callous Dimka. Dimka had no problem killing his superior officers as he had gotten away with cold murder of his senior officers a decade ago in the July 1966 counter coup. Dimka's motivation according to his drunken confession was to reinstall Gowon back as head of state. Ironically, Murtala and Dimka left the political scene in the same manner they had entered it - in a hail of Bullets! 1983 Buhari Coup the remnants of the class of July, 1966 where now Generals. This coup consisted of senior northern Muslim officers. motivation was to consolidate their power. 1985 IBB Coup same as above only they wanted to get rid of the stubborn Buhari. 1990 Gideon Okar Coup southern Christian minorities drawn from midranking cadre. In so many ways this coup had all the hallmarks of the Jan 15 coup and was doomed to fail because it was driven by vague ideologies and not pragmatic realities. As we can see the most successful coup plotters in the history of Nigeria where the class of July, 1966. The main reason advocated why they were so successful is because unlike their southern colleagues , the northern cadets admitted into the NDA where usually drawn from the same secondary school. Since the number of schools in the north where outnumbered by 20 to 1 in the south and coupled with lowered enrollment in these same schools alongside Tafa Belewa's quota system which was specifically drawn to ensure that Ibos do not continue to dominate the officer cadet, the 1st and 2nd luitenants that carried out the counter coup of 1966 knew themselves from childhood and had a sense of duty to each other to watch their backs. Childhood friendships are more powerful than sharing similar ideologies or a beer in the mess. 4 Likes 1 Share |

THE SENTENCE The Trial Judge Mr. Sowemimo speaks: “….Whatever others may say, this is my personal view. I am not speaking as a judge but as a Nigerian. Here we have one of the first Premiers of the autonomous region standing trial. If you were the only one before me, I would have felt that it was enough for you to have undergone the strain of the trial. I would have asked you to go. But I am sorry, I cannot do so now because my hands are tied. Having sentenced those young chaps whatever happens I have to pass some sort of sentence. If I made up my mind to sentence the other accused persons who I find were tools in the hands of others, and if my conclusion is right, it is for me to see that a punishment by me in my court is such that others would see that there is no preferential treatment. I do not see what useful purpose a sentence of imprisonment will do to you, but I have come to the conclusion that these things emanate from you. To get yourself involved in this thing is enough shame. But this is a political crime. There are things which one may never know. All I know is what is before me and I am bound by the evidence. You mentioned about the delay in giving judgement, but I wish you were in my position and had to read some of these things – the evidence which was about 800 pages and the notes of submissions also about 600 pages. I was never hoping or thinking that I would be called upon to try a former Head of Government and Leader of Opposition. I am only happy that this is a court of first instance. ” At the conclusion of the speech by Justice Sowemimo, Chief Awolowo was sentenced as follows: 1st Count – 10 years I.H.L (Imprisonment with Hard Labour) Treasonable felony, contrary to Section 41(b) of the Criminal Code. 2nd Count – 5 years I.H.L (Imprisonment with Hard Labour) Conspiracy to commit a felony, contrary to Section 516 of the Criminal Code. 3rd Count – 2 years I.H.L (Imprisonment with Hard Labour) Conspiracy to effect an unlawful purpose, contrary to Section 518 (6) of the Criminal Code. Sentences to be concurrent. 4 Likes |

The man Awolowo will later be released from prison by the Gowon govt to which he willingly served under. Compared to his peers (Zik, Bello and Belewa) this was to say the least shameless. Awolowo serving under Gowon was akin to a lord of a manor being deposed by his security guard only for the guard to later engage the lord as his butler. It doesn't stop there.... Awolowo will later play the most reprehensible and slanderous opposition to another civilian govt. The coup plotters got Awolowo's blessing after they toppled Shagari. When it became clear that he had been duped by the Buhari regime and left out in the cold, the same Awolowo will throw his weight and support for IBB. Babangida knew better and during his regime kept close surveillance on Awolowo as he knew very well that Awolowo's burning ambition to rule Nigeria made him a potential enemy. Just like back in 1962, the IBB govt was able to get a mole into Awolowo's inner circle from where he was informed of a coup plot in the making by Awolowo. Awolowo can thus be singled out as one of the main corrupting influences in Nigeria. The likes of the Sarduna championed the ultra conservative northern culture and it's isolation. Zik was a pragmatic politician seeking political solutions (even though flawed) for political hurdles he encountered. But Awolowo on the other hand was quick to resort to extra criminal measures to consolidate his power base and lust. This is evident on the lingering crisis in western Nigeria under Awolowo after indepence and the successive coup attempts and uprisings that he gave his blessings. The man was a snake . 3 Likes |

Awolowo was the first to consider a coup in Nigeria. Awolowo was convicted for treason and was serving his sentence at Calabar prison before the Jan. 15 Coup. Awolowo will stand trail alongside 23 others including Enaharo. Enaharo will later escape to Ghana and confess that indeed there was a plot to by the AG led by Awolowo to form a militia to overthrow the govt. Soyinka was deported to Nigeria by the UK govt to stand trial alongside Awolowo for attempting to overthrow the govt. The SW political class lobbied the military to overthrow the NPC govt. Awolowo was held in high esteem by the likes of Nzeagwu . The Majors had planned to release Awolowo and prop him up as national president . Nzeagwu like most of his pairs in the Nigerian army officer cadre where university graduates with known leftist tendencies. The likes of Ifeanjuwa was a graduate of the University of Ibadan who will later join the Army after the British began the Nigerization of the military. Ifeanjuwa met Wole Soyinka in Ibadan. The Pyrates Confratenity was formed not as a university society but as a leftist recruiting base. The likes of Ifeanjuwa got radicalized with leftist ideology on campus. Maj.Gen Ironsi once complained to a close confidant that he asked for soldeirs and they gave him politicians in army uniform. This was in response to the increasing partisan nature the newly commissioned university graduate officers like Nzeagwu openly condemned the govt. Emeka Ojukwu was a member of the UK communist party which he joined when studying at Oxford . Emeka Ojukwu returned to Nigeria and enlisted as an NCO in the army before the Nigerization policy of the British. Emeka Ojukwu enlisted as a conscript because he felt as a native he will be effective staging a mutiny against the colonial govt not as an officer but as an enlisted man. Ojukwu was considered dangerous by the US govt because of his communist leanings. This is why they never supported Biafra. Leftist ideology was what led to the disaster of the civil war. Ojukwu was never interested in Biafra but to govern Nigeria as it's central govt. The Ibos pre-1966 where more open to one Nigeria than they are now. The counter coup of July, 1966 changed all that. The north never wanted a central govt and have always opposed any form of intrusion into their highly ultra conservative society by the trousered natives to the south. The Nationalization decree which turned Nigeria from a republic to a federation of states under a powerful head of state was opposed by the north. In so many ways, the south caused the problems we face now. Rather than Zik and Awolowo to swallow their pride and get a coalition going , these two men will struggle to play second fiddle to the north. The NPC (Northern People's Congress) was unapologetically a regional party as their names implied and they never even bothered to field any candidate in the south. In 1953 after the NPC parliamenters staged a walkout after Enaharo brought up the motion of independence, they were stoned and insulted the next day by hired Lagos thugs. A week later the western region Action Group (AG) decided to hold a party rally in the north. The north repaid them back in their wn coin and had the crowd stone them. The skirmish will later escalate to killing innocent Christians and southerners (mainly Ibos) by the almajiri mob. 5 Likes |
