there was no way a person could have left one regional service for the other unless by special appointment or loan. If you say otherwise, state the section of decree 34 that says otherwise and give one example where it happend.

1. As from the appointed day all offices in the service of the Republic in a civil capacity shall be offices in a single service to be known as the National Public Service; and accordingly all persons who immediately before that day are members of the public service of the Federation or of the public service of a Region shall on that day become members of the National Public Service.

gartamanta:
This is sheer hypocrisy. This talk about Ojukwu sending his people to take over Northern positions is funny. Anyone in the federal service can be sent to work in any part of the country, that rule has always applied even to this day.

JUHABACH:
1) still doesnt make it an igbo coup. nzeogwu, the coup leader was igbo but had spent most of his time in the north such that he took up the name kaduna.

T8ksy:
the NCNC manifestos-a truly ibo party, one of which is Decree 34.

The military is the only institution recognized to restore law and other whenever there is a state of anarchy. At that time, The major democratic leaders were dead. The only thing he could have done was to take over as he did.

Under the law, that is, the Interpretation Act, as
acting President, Nwazor Orizu had all the powers of
the President. The GOC said he wanted to see all the
cabinet ministers. And so we assembled at the cabinet
office. Well, I have read in many books saying that we
handed over to the military. We did not hand-over.
Ironsi told us that "you either hand over as gentlemen
or you hand-over by force". Those were his words. Is
that voluntary hand-over? So we did not hand-over. We
wanted an Acting Prime Minister to be in place but
Ironsi forced us, and I use the word force advisedly,
to handover to him. He was controlling the soldiers.
The acting President, Nwafor Orizu, who did not
cooperate with us, cooperated with the GOC. Dr. Orizu
and the GOC prepared speeches which Nwafor Orizu
broadcast handing over the government of the country
to the army. I here state again categorically as a
member of that cabinet that we did not hand-over
voluntarily. It was a coup.

gartamanta:
If the above is true, the who is to be blamed for unitary rule we practice today? If someone introduces you to smuggling and you make a career of smuggling, who is to be blamed when you get caught? The person who introduced you to it or your self?

DobleO7:
Well from the very little that I have read the Northern military officers were not aggrieved by Ironsi's take over.

DobleO7:
Sure, the vice president is to take over in event the president was unavailable. During that time Nwafor Orizu acted as president while Zik was out the country. On the instruction of the coup plotters he handed over to Ironsi who ranked higher than other officers.

DobleO7:
So tell me who was suppose to take over since you have Phd in Hsitory.

DobleO7:
He was the highest ranking military officer at the time and the right person to take over.

iwadobo:
the bulk of the money being used to run Nigeria Wass from oil and not groundnut .

DIKEnaWAR:
Being the most senior officer, he had to take over.

DIKEnaWAR:
I don't seek for this country to divide, but we must have a total fiscal federalism

And Fajuyi (who was his host) insisted that he must go with them where they were going.

buharisbae:
Lol yes!

ba7man:
I wish Buhari would just throw caution to the wind and order the military to March into the Senate and house of assembly and grab these lawmakers by their Agbada and drag them into waiting black Maria trucks.

Anyone that protests on their behalf should be shot at with teargas and whipped with koboko to test if the money they collected was worth it.

myforexsolution:
The grammar in the write up is really bad

Lexusgs430:
He even had the audacity to say Nigerian's are not suffering, simply because Nigerian's did not eat from dustbins.
Kindly tell him Nigerian's are now dustbin feeding!!!!

Everyone sounds intelligent as an outsider. NOI was with OBJ and GEJ, what is her legacy other than supervising the massive looting of the commonwealth?

When Abacha was the C-in-C, OBJ criticized and proffered a lot of solution that Abacha went for his jugular. Years down the line, OBJ became the president and was equally as bad, if not worse than Abacha.

wirinet:
Which proponent of diversification? She was finance minister of Nigeria for about 10 years for God sake, what diversification policy did she propose? She was the person who was suppose the formulate the revenue generating policies of the country but what did she do? She was granting waivers up and down, killing local industries. She even granted waivers on such mundane items like rice and vehicles.Then her other "diversification" policy is to mouth savings, without doing anything to get the federal government to save. She was more obsessed to saving the revenue due to the governors. i do not know where saving became a diversification policy.
