Both Igbos and Akwa Ibom/Calabar people, it goes without saying, are known for being strong contenders for the best overall cooks in Nigeria (although every tribe has its niche, including Yorubas, Hausas, Igalas and Edos) but what are you really having when the utazi-laced cassava-chips (or Cajun-spiced + utazi-sprinkled French fries coated in wheat and fried in groundnut oil and duck fat in a semi-cast-iron air-fryer, if you will) are down and you need to comfort-eat your way out of a bad break-up, an embarrassment that did not need to happen or a wet Sunday? Is it afang, onugbu, abak atama, Mama-Ekaete’s beechwood-smoked coconut seafood jollof rice, ukpo-ogede (plantain mai-mai), igba di-oku (Enugu okpa now), isi-ewu or ofe Owere?

What’s it going to be? Team Hilda or team auntie Nkechi?

[/color]simple question,why was kaduna not imprisoned,for the crimes he committed[color=#770077][/color]na scam there must be unwritten agreement between him and kaduna to hand over power to him,that was why kaduna did not consider him as threat. Na politics Dem just play out there[color=#770077]

Thomasankara:
[/color]and never imprisoned the culprit is that not injustice,it shows he was instrumental in the grand plot and gave ideas to kaduna Nzeogwu, maybe he was not bold enough to execute it himself,he had to come through a junior officer. If not in military the seniors always take the fall when juniors execute coup[color=#770077]

[color=#770077][/color]But Aguiyi Ironsi was right for imprisoning and killing people?. The coup in Niger is even bloodless now.[color=#770077]

Where were these killings taking place?

Belafonte:
Sorry I'm a bit confused did Nigeria declare war on igbos anytime between 1967-1970?

Secondly, who are God's people and Allah's people?

Thirdly, which deity stopped the Biafran army from marching through Ore to Lagos?

Belafonte:
The masterminds and executors of the first ever coup d'etat in Nigeria claimed that they chose to take power from civilians because of mismanagement of the country. The government at the time was made up of representatives from all regions in Nigeria.

So, I've been pondering, there were quite a number of casualties, notable ampng which are:

1. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa (Prime Minister (Northern))
2. Ahmadu Bello (Premier Northern Region)
3. Ladoke Akintola (Premier Western Region)

There were other Premiers and in fact, the President was from neither North nor West but from a particular region.

The list of those spared are:
1. Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe (president)
2. Arthur Orizu ( Leader of the parliament - our equiv. of senate president)
3. Michael Okpara (Prwmier Eastern Region)
4. Aguiyi Ironsi (Who took over after the coup )


The coup plotters themselves were from a particular region, coincidentally(?) the same as the one where the Nigerian president and spared Premier was from. I'm just wondering what could have been the reason leaders from certain regions were killed and leaders from the region where the coup plotters were spared. Is it that northerners and westerners are poor leaders naturally and leaders from the coup plotting region are sound and effective? This is just me being curious. If the above is true, can we then say that this region with naturally sound leaders is head and shoulders above the rat of Nigeria in terms of development and advancement? If, however, this region is relatively indistinguishable from other regions in terms of economic and social metrics can we infer that the reason for them killing and sparing certain people was perhaps motivated by other factors?

Just musing here tbh. Anybody with answers that can do justice to my curiosity should please come to my aid. Thanks
