In the United States, the question is often asked--where were you when president John F. Kennedy was assassinated? Of course, as expected, there would be millions of answers to this question as all those who were alive then were engaged in miscellaneous activities on that fateful day of Friday, November 22, 1963 when the 35th president of the United States of America was gunned down in Dallas, Texas. That was a very mournful day for the nation and all mourned his death regardless of party affiliations or political persuasion. Similarly, all Nigerians, home and abroad must answer the question---where were you when Major Gideon Orkar, son of Benue state, struck on that fateful day of Sunday, April 22, 1990? Where were you and what were you doing?

The coup occasioned by Major Orkar and his men on that day was significant in many respects and many of us are just now beginning to reckon this point. It was not his coup that really mattered, it was the message behind it that was and still is of consequence. His coup was markedly different from the previous ones we had been bequeathed to by ignorant and power-hungry Generals. It was not laden with the usual tired verses at the lips of every army officer. There was something different about this coup---it was actually aimed at addressing the apt inbalance of power in the country. Major Orkar was endowed with foresight and vision, he was not a prophet, yet he had visionary tendencies. By all standards, he was still a junior officer in the army but yet was able to see well beyond his experience and age. Orkar made nonsense of this saying of our elders which goes thus---"what an elder can see sitting down, a child cannot see standing up." Orkar saw the mayhem and tribulations awaiting us sitting down while many of his elders [seniors] in the army could not see that same mayhem and tribulations standing up, a reverse case of the saying. He saw clearly the tyranny of the north with the likes of IBB and Abacha holding on to power by all means necessary, including murdering innocent citizens and overturning our economy. He saw the injustices, the intentions of men like Sani Ahmed Yarima, IBB, then his commander-in-chief, Abacha, Major Hamza Mustapha who was then a mere private in the army, etc.

He knew that Nigeria was going to be troubled with the intolerant behavior of the north and he knew that Sharia was on the drawing boards. He knew that Nigerians were going to talk about the "MISTAKE OF 1914" in more details and insist on renogiating the country. He knew Nigeria like the back of his hand. It was thus not a surprise that he excised the north in his coup just like a father asks his son to go to his room until the son knows how to behave or corrects his behavior. Similarly, Orkar asked the north to take a hike and shed itself of the cloak of contumely before reapplying to join the civil union called Nigeria.

He was smart in many ways and commanded the respect and admiration of his colleagues. While he was alive and even in death, he reminded me of another Major who was involved in the 1986 coup of Maj-Gen. Mamman Vasta, then Minister of Abuja, FCT and IBB's blossom friend and confidant who [the Major] was consequently executed along with General Vasta. His name was Major Mike Iyoshi from the then Bendel state. He was young and brilliant, just like Orkar, a poet, like General Vasta and a graduate of the Nigerian Defense Academy, graduated with military distinction and undertook further training at Britain's elite Sandhurst with the likes of Captain Thomas Sankara, Head of State of then Upper Volta now Burkina Faso in West Africa.

He spoke impeccable English, one that would make the Queen herself quiver in her wits. His words were crisp with a knack for the Elizabethan variety. He was a man of humor and it was often said that even the devil would laugh at his jokes. He thrilled his colleagues, friends and even his superiors to endless laughters and it was no different when I made his acquaintance in the Officers' Mess in Lagos only two years before his demise. All three men [Orkar, Iyoshi and Sankara] were visionaries. It seemed they all read from the same page and were born of the same mother. They had foresight and were enemies of injustice and inequity.

Unfortunately, of all these three men, only Captain Thomas Sankara had the opportunity to change his country, from the day he assumed office in 1983 to the day of his assassination on August 4, 1987. He turned Burkina Faso around and installed in Burkinabes the importance of hardwork and the need to be honest and selfless. He uplifed the plight of women in his country and appointed many of them to top ministerial positions. Both Iyoshi and Orkar had such visions for their country, but were short changed by life. They sought to overthrow an undemocratic and despotic system the best way they knew how. To them, since it was not a democracy, Nigerians did not have the option of impeachment and so they [on behalf of the Nigerian populace] went through the only means available to them--coup. Orkar was not interested in power, rather, he was interested in redressing the inequality in the country, the injustices and the economic and political crimes being visited on the country and its innocent citizens by the fatuous dictator.

Both Major Mike Iyoshi and Major Gideon Orkar were brave men in their own right. In the case of Major Mike Iyoshi, on the day of his execution, after they had tied him to the sticks, he looked at Maj-Gen. Mamman Vasta who was tied next to him as if to say "this is the end, soja". Even at that fleeting moment of life, he cracked a joke at which they both laughed, it was reported. He was unperturbed by his lot. It was not surprising that he averred the following words well encapsulated in singer Fela's famous lyrics, when asked to offer his last words---"Soja come, soja go, but aspirations go remain the same." With these words, he took his fate with bravity and with much temerity--just like a soja. Yes, he was right. Soldiers have come and gone but the aspirations for justice and inequity remain the same and would ever be present.

In the case of Orkar, he refused to even offer a word during his trial, saying that the outcome had already been concluded and that the trials were just a formality. When asked even by his counsel to speak in his defense, he smiled and refused to utter a word, he knew the end was just around the corner. In several days of trials, he maintained a muted response to all questions and only offered his last words just before the bullets rained on him in an execution supervised by then Brigadier Ishaya Baimiyi, General Abdulsaalami Abubakar's Chief of Army Staff who retired only last year and is currently in prison on assorted criminal charges. An execution, hurriedly carried out about 9 p.m. under the cover of darkness and well out of the curious view of any civilians. He was brave up until the very end, unflappable in his resolve to end the northern tyranny of Nigeria and the bastardization of its affairs and resources. Standing very tall, he took Babangida's bullets like a warrior, a true champion, a true soldier, a true son of the land.

All three men, Orkar, Iyoshi and Sankara took the bullet like men, and even president John F. Kennedy, suffered the fate of the bullet as well although clearly under different circumstances. It seems all great men go this way---Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln, etc,. Kennedy was a liberator, they were all liberators, albeit, I must hastily make the point that they weighted differently in the grand scale of apperception, but their message, was nevertheless, the same. Kennedy's legacy of making America free and fair for all through his civil rights efforts is still very much echoed today, more than 36 years after his death. All of these men fought to bring about justice and equity to their country, a struggle, they have left for us to pursue and accomplish. They had a human message, a message that transcended all languages and cultures. And so on this 10th anniversary of Orkar's death, I say, BRAVO, Major Gideon Orkar. The struggle continues unabated.

The Speech Declaring Nigeria’s Independence by Nigeria’s First Prime Minister Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa – October 1, 1960

Today is Independence Day. The first of October 1960 is a date to which for two years, Nigeria has been eagerly looking forward. At last, our great day has arrived, and Nigeria is now indeed an independent Sovereign nation.

Words cannot adequately express my joy and pride at being the Nigerian citizen privileged to accept from Her Royal Highness these Constitutional Instruments which are the symbols of Nigeria’s Independence. It is a unique privilege which I shall remember forever, and it gives me strength and courage as I dedicate my life to the service of our country. This is a wonderful day, and it is all the more wonderful because we have awaited it with increasing impatience, compelled to watch one country after another overtaking us on the road when we had so nearly reached our goal. But now, we have acquired our rightful status, and I feel sure that history will show that the building of our nation proceeded at the wisest pace: it has been thorough, and Nigeria now stands well-built upon firm foundations.

Today’s ceremony marks the culmination of a process which began fifteen years ago and has now reached a happy and successful conclusion. It is with justifiable pride that we claim the achievement of our Independence to be unparalleled in the annals of history. Each step of our constitutional advance has been purposefully and peacefully planned with full and open consultation, not only between representatives of all the various interests in Nigeria but in harmonious cooperation with the administering power which has today relinquished its authority. At the time when our constitutional development entered upon its final phase, the emphasis was largely upon self-government: We, the elected representatives of the people of Nigeria, concentrated on proving that we were fully capable of managing our own affairs both internally and as a nation. However, we were not to be allowed the selfish luxury of focusing our interest on our own homes.

In these days of rapid communications, we cannot live in isolation, apart from the rest of the world, even if we wished to do so. All too soon it has become evident that for us, independence implies a great deal more than self-government. This great country, which has now emerged without bitterness or bloodshed, finds that she must at once be ready to deal with grave international issues. This fact has of recent months been unhappily emphasised by the startling events which have occurred in this continent. I shall not belabour the point but it would be unrealistic not to draw attention first to the awe-inspiring task confronting us at the very start of our nationhood. When this day in October 1960 was chosen for our Independence, it seemed that we were destined to move with quiet dignity to our place on the world stage. Recent events have changed the scene beyond recognition, so that we find ourselves today being tested to the utmost. We are called upon immediately to show that our claims to responsible government are well-founded, and having been accepted as an independent state, we must at once play an active part in maintaining the peace of the world and in preserving civilisation.

I promise you, we shall not fall for want of determination. And we come to this task better-equipped than many. For this, I pay tribute to the manner in which successive British governments have gradually transferred the burden of responsibility to our shoulders. The assistance and unfailing encouragement which we received from each Secretary of State for the Colonies and their intense personal interest in our development has immeasurably lightened that burden. All our friends in the Colonial Office must today be proud of their handiwork and in the knowledge that they have helped to lay the foundations of a lasting friendship between our two nations. I have indeed every confidence that, based on the happy experience of a successful partnership, our future relations with the United Kingdom will be more cordial than ever, bound together, as we shall be in the Commonwealth, by a common allegiance to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, whom today we proudly acclaim as Queen of Nigeria and Head of the Commonwealth. Time will not permit the individual mention of all those friends, many of them Nigerians, whose selfless labours have contributed to our Independence. Some have not lived to see the fulfilment of their hopes – on them be peace – but nevertheless they are remembered here, and the names of buildings and streets and roads and bridges throughout the country recall to our minds their achievements, some of them on a national scale. Others confined, perhaps, to a small area in one Division, are more humble but of equal value in the sum-total.

Today, we have with us representatives of those who have made Nigeria: Representatives of the Regional Governments, of former Central Governments, of the Missionary Societies, and of the Banking and Commercial enterprises, and members, both past and present, of the Public Service. We welcome you, and we rejoice that you have been able to come and share in our celebrations. We wish that it could have been possible for all of those whom you represent to be here today. Many, I know, will be disappointed to be absent, but if they are listening to me now, I say to them: ‘Thank you on behalf of my countrymen. Thank you for your devoted service which helped to build up Nigeria into a nation. Today, we are reaping the harvest which you sowed, and the quality of the harvest is equalled only by our gratitude to you. May God bless you all. This is an occasion when our hearts are filled with conflicting emotions: we are, indeed, proud to have achieved our independence, and proud that our efforts should have contributed to this happy event. But do not mistake our pride for arrogance. It is tempered by feelings of sincere gratitude to all who have shored in the task of developing Nigeria politically, socially and economically.

We are grateful to the British officers whom we have known, first as masters, and then as leaders, and finally as partners, but always as friends. And there have been countless missionaries who have laboured unceasingly in the cause of education and to whom we owe many of our medical services. We are grateful also to those who have brought modern methods of banking and of commerce, and new industries. I wish to pay tribute to all of these people and to declare our everlasting admiration of their devotion to duty. And finally, I must express our gratitude to Her Royal Highness, the Princess Alexandra for personally bringing to us these symbols of our freedom and especially for delivering the gracious message from Her Majesty, The Queen. And so, with the words ‘God Save Our Queen’, I open a new chapter in the history of Nigeria and of the Commonwealth, and indeed, of the world.

Fellow Nigerian citizens,

On behalf of the patriotic and well-meaning peoples of the Middle Belt and the southern parts of this country, I , Major Gideon Orka, wish to happily inform you of the successful ousting of the dictatorial, corrupt, drug baronish, evil man, deceitful, homo-sexually-centered, prodigalistic, un-patriotic administration of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida. We have equally commenced their trials for unabated corruption, mismanagement of national economy, the murders of Dele Giwa, Major-General Mamman Vasta, with other officers as there was no attempted coup but mere intentions that were yet to materialize and other human rights violations. The National Guard already in its formative stage is disbanded with immediate effect. Decrees Number 2 and 46 are hereby abrogated. We wish to emphasis that this is not just another coup but a well conceived, planned and executed revolution for the marginalized, oppressed and enslaved peoples of the Middle Belt and the south with a view to freeing ourselves and children yet unborn from eternal slavery and colonization by a clique of this country.



Our history is replete with numerous and uncontrollable instances of callous and insensitive dominatory repressive intrigues by those who think it is their birthright to dominate till eternity the political and economic privileges of this great country to the exclusion of the people of the Middle Belt and the south. They have almost succeeded in subjugating the Middle Belt and making them voiceless and now extending same to the south. It is our unflinching belief that this quest for domination, oppression and marginalization is against the wish of God and therefore, must be resisted with the vehemence. Anything that has a beginning must have an end. It will also suffice here to state that all Nigerians without skeleton in their cupboards need not to be afraid of this change. However, those with skeleton in their cupboards have all reasons to fear, because the time of reckoning has come. For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state the three primary reasons why we have decided to oust the satanic Babangida administration. The reasons are as follows:

(a) To stop Babangida’s desire to cunningly, install himself as Nigeria’s life president at all costs and by so doing, retard the progress of this country for life. In order to be able to achieve this undesirable goals of his, he has evidently started destroying those groups and sections he perceived as being able to question his desires. Examples of groups already neutralised, pitched against one another or completely destroyed are:
The Political & Spiritual Purpose of the Holy Land




(1) The Sokoto caliphate by installing an unwanted Sultan to cause division within the hitherto strong Sokoto caliphate.
(2) The destruction of the peoples of Plateau State, especially the Lantang people, as a balancing force in the body politics of this country.
(3) The buying of the press by generous monetary favours and the usage of State Security Service, SSS, as a tool of terror.
(4) The intent to cow the students by the promulgation of the draconian decree Number 47.
(5) The cowing of the university teaching and non-teaching staff by an intended massive purge, using the 150 million dollar loan as the necessitating factor.
(6) Deliberately withholding funds to the armed forces to make them ineffective and also crowning his diabolical scheme through the intended retrenchment of more than half of the members of the armed forces. Other pointers that give credence to his desire to become a life president against the wishes of the people are:

(1) His appointment of himself as a minister of defense, his putting under his direct control the SSS, his deliberate manipulation of the transition programme, his introduction of inconceivable, unrealistic and impossible political options, his recent fraternisation with other African leaders that have installed themselves as life presidents and his dogged determination to create a secret force called the national guard, independent of the armed forces and the police which will be answerable to himself alone, both operationally and administratively. It is our strong view that this kind of dictatorial desire of Babangida is unacceptable to Nigerians of the 1990’s, and, therefore, must be resisted by all. Another major reason for the change is the need to stop intrigues, domination and internal colonisation of the Nigerian state by the so-called chosen few. This, in our view, has been and is still responsible for 90 percent of the problems of Nigerians. This indeed has been the major clog in our wheel of progress. This clique has an unabated penchant for domination and unrivalled fostering of mediocrity and outright detest for accountability, all put together have been our undoing as a nation. This will ever remain our threat if not checked immediately. It is strongly believed that without the intrigues perpetrated by this clique and misrule, Nigeria will have in all ways achieved developmental virtues comparable to those in Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, India, and even Japan. Evidence, therefore, this cancerous dominance has as a factor constituted by a major and unpardonable clog in the wheel of progress of the Nigerian state. (Sic) It is suffice to mention a few distasteful intrigues engineered by this group of Nigerians in recent past. These are:



(1) The shabby and dishonourable treatment meted on the longest serving Nigerian general in the person of General Domkat Bali, who in actual fact had given credibility to the Babangida administration.
(2) The wholesale hijacking of Babangida’s administration by the all powerful clique.
(3) The disgraceful and inexplicable removal of Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, Professor Tam David-West, Mr. Aret Adams and so on from office.
(4) The now-pervasive and on-going retrenchment of Middle Belt and southerners from public offices and their instant replacement by the favoured class and their stooges.
(5) The deliberate disruption of the educational culture and retarding its place to suit the favoured class to the detriment of other educational minded parts of this country.
(6) The deliberate impoverishment of the peoples from the Middle Belt and the south, making them working ghosts and feeding on the formulae of 0-1-1- or 0-0-0 while the aristocratic class and their stooges are living in absolute affluence on a daily basis without working for it.
(7) Other countless examples of the exploitative, oppressive, dirty games of intrigues of its class, where people and stooges that can best be described by the fact that even though they contribute very little economically to the well being of Nigeria, they have over the years served and presided over the supposedly national wealth derived in the main from the Middle Belt and the southern part of this country, while the people from these parts of the country have been completely deprived from benefiting from the resources given to them by God.
( The third reason for the change is the need to lay a strong egalitarian foundation for the real democratic take off of the Nigerian state or states as they circumstances may dictate. In the light of all the above and in recognition of the negativeness of the aforementioned aristocratic factor, the overall progress of the Nigerian state a temporary decision to excise the following states namely, Sokoto, Borno, Katsina, Kano and Bauchi states from the Federal Republic of Nigeria comes into effect immediately until the following conditions are met.

The conditions to be met to necessitate the re-absorption of the aforementioned states are as following:
(a) To install the rightful heir to the Sultanate, Alhaji Maccido, who is the people’s choice.
(b) To send a delegation led by the real and recognised Sultan Alhaji Maccido to the federal government to vouch that the feudalistic and aristocratic quest for domination and operation will be a thing of the past and will never be practised in any part of the Nigeria state. By the same token, all citizens of the five states already mentioned are temporarily suspended from all public and private offices in Middle Belt and southern parts of this country until the mentioned conditions above are met.

They are also required to move back to their various states within one week from today. They will, however, be allowed to return and joint the Federal Republic of Nigeria when the stipulated conditions are met. In the same vein, all citizens of the Middle Belt and the south are required to come back to their various states pending when the so-called all-in-all Nigerians meet the conditions that will ensure a united Nigeria. A word is enough for the wise.

This exercise will not be complete without purging corrupt public officials and recovering their ill-gotten wealth, since the days of the oil boom till date. Even in these hard times, when Nigerians are dying from hunger, trekking many miles to work for lack of transportation, a few other Nigerians with complete impunity are living in unbelievable affluence both inside and outside the country.

We are extremely determined to recover all ill-gotten wealth back to the public treasury for the use of the masses of our people. You are all advised to remain calm as there is no cause for alarm. We are fully in control of the situation as directed by God. All airports, seaports and borders are closed forthwith. The former Armed Forces Ruling Council is now disbanded and replaced with National Ruling Council to be chaired by the head of state with other members being a civilian vice-head of state, service chiefs, inspector general of police, one representative each from NLC, NUJ, NBA, and NANS.

A curfew is hereby imposed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. until further notice. All members of the armed forces and the police forces are hereby confined to their respective barracks. All unlawful and criminal acts by those attempting to cause chaos will be ruthlessly crushed. Be warned as we are prepared at all costs to defend the new order. All radio stations are hereby advised to hook on permanently to the national network programme until further notice.

Long live all true patriots of this great country of ours. May God and Allah through his bountiful mercies bless us all.
