Mambagharji:
Here is the broadcast by Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu – announcing Nigeria’s first military coup on Radio Nigeria, Kaduna on January 15, 1966:

In the name of the Supreme Council of the Revolution of the Nigerian Armed Forces, I declare martial law over the Northern Provinces of Nigeria. The Constitution is suspended and the regional government and elected assemblies are hereby dissolved.

All political, cultural, tribal and trade union activities, together with all demonstrations and unauthorised gatherings, excluding religious worship, are banned until further notice.

The aim of the Revolutionary Council is to establish a strong united and prosperous nation, free from corruption and internal strife. Our method of achieving this is strictly military but we have no doubt that every Nigerian will give us maximum cooperation by assisting the regime and not disturbing the peace during the slight changes that are taking place.

I am to assure all foreigners living and working in this part of Nigeria that their rights will continue to be respected. All treaty obligations previously entered into with any foreign nation will be respected and we hope that such nations will respect our country’s territorial integrity and will avoid taking sides with enemies of the revolution and enemies of the people.

My dear countrymen, you will hear, and probably see a lot being done by certain bodies charged by the Supreme Council with the duties of national integration, supreme justice, general security and property recovery.

As an interim measure all permanent secretaries, corporation chairmen and senior heads of departments are allowed to make decisions until the new organs are functioning, so long as such decisions are not contrary to the aims and wishes of the Supreme Council.

No Minister or Parliamentary Secretary possesses administrative or other forms of control over any Ministry, even if they are not considered too dangerous to be arrested.

This is not a time for long speech-making and so let me acquaint you with ten proclamations in the Extraordinary Orders of the Day which the Supreme Council has promulgated.

These will be modified as the situation improves.

You are hereby warned that looting, arson, homosexuality, rape, embezzlement, bribery or corruption, obstruction of the revolution, sabotage, subversion, false alarms and assistance to foreign invaders, are all offences punishable by death sentence.

Demonstrations and unauthorised assembly, non-cooperation with revolutionary troops are punishable in grave manner up to death. Refusal or neglect to perform normal duties or any task that may of necessity be ordered by local military commanders in support of the change will be punishable by a sentence imposed by the local military commander.

Spying, harmful or injurious publications, and broadcasts of troop movements or actions, will be punished by any suitable sentence deemed fit by the local military commander. Shouting of slogans, loitering and rowdy behaviour will be rectified by any sentence of incarceration, or any more severe punishment deemed fit by the local military commander.

Doubtful loyalty will be penalised by imprisonment or any more severe sentence. Illegal possession or carrying of firearms, smuggling or trying to escape with documents, valuables, including money or other assets vital to the running of any establishment will be punished by death sentence.

Wavering or sitting on the fence and failing to declare open loyalty with the revolution will be regarded as an act of hostility punishable by any sentence deemed suitable by the local military commander. Tearing down an order of the day or proclamation or other authorised notices will be penalised by death.

This is the end of the Extraordinary Order of the Day which you will soon begin to see displayed in public. My dear countrymen, no citizen should have anything to fear, so long as that citizen is law abiding and if that citizen has religiously obeyed the native laws of the country and those set down in every heart and conscience since 1st October, 1960.

Our enemies are the political profiteers, the swindlers, the men in high and low places that seek bribes and demand 10 percent; those that seek to keep the country divided permanently so that they can remain in office as ministers or VIPs at least, the tribalists, the nepotists, those that make the country look big for nothing before international circles, those that have corrupted our society and put the Nigerian political calendar back by their words and deeds.

Like good soldiers we are not promising anything miraculous or spectacular. But what we do promise every law abiding citizen is freedom from fear and all forms of oppression, freedom from general inefficiency and freedom to live and strive in every field of human endeavour, both nationally and internationally. We promise that you will no more be ashamed to say that you are a Nigerian.

I leave you with a message of good wishes and ask for your support at all times, so that our land, watered by the Niger and Benue, between the sandy wastes and gulf of guinea, washed in salt by the mighty Atlantic, shall not detract Nigeria from gaining sway in any great aspect of international endeavour. My dear countrymen, this is the end of this speech.

I wish you all good luck and I hope you will cooperate to the fullest in this job which we have set for ourselves of establishing a prosperous nation and achieving solidarity.

God bless Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu and his fellow patriots that tried to liberate Nigerians.

Mambagharji:
Major Gideon Orkah and Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu coup speech had revealed everything that is currently played out by B.H n Bandits.

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 Orkar, 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 emphasize 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, slowpoke 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 neutralized, pitched against one another or completely destroyed are:

(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 favors 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 fraternization 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 colonization 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. It is suffice to mention a few distasteful intrigues engineered by this group of Nigerians in recent past. These are:

(1) The shabby and dishonorable 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.

(cool 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 recognized 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 practiced 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".

MAJOR GIDEON ORKAH

God bless Major Gideon Orkah and his fellow patriots that did their best to liberate Nigerians.

Jackson105:
God bless Akeredolu.

May thunder fire that useless monkey governing Oyo state, may fire strike those that intend to vote for him for second time.

And what do you propose that thunder should do to those that voted for Buhari in 2015 and 2019?

post=99551379:
And here is what all Eastern Governors, all reasonable and sensible people from the Eastern part of Nigeria are saying about about FG proscribed ipob terrorist organization killing policemen and burning down police stations all over the country.

The difference is definitely clear.
And the support is unflinching.

Fools are never in short supply in Nigeria.

legendsilver:
Thank you for this revelation.
So PDP governors give guns to you guys to destroy Buhari government. God is exposing them bit by bit

With characters like you, Nigeria will not make progress.

PrinceOfLagos:
APC has brought so much pain upon the once peaceful state of Imo

It will never be well with The founding fathers of APC
Very useless and stupid set of thieves .

You should blame the people of Imo State that are messing up their State, not the party APC.

Misterone:
All these IPOB slaves and trashy comments self. so the government should grant a foreign company monopoly over indigenous ones? you must be a goat. what's wrong with spar, justrite, ebaeno, next and a host of others. children without brains.

Fulani slave talking.

ovie8200:
What a useless man with a dull head. Today my co-workers are regretting supporting this illiterate back then.

Too late for them to be regretting (especially if they still supported him in 2019).

yrret:
I will believe if the president does

So you still believe there is a President?

BruncleZuma:


Buhari said no such thing, some faceless powerful non-elected bureaucrat did and when we diss Buhari over this, his lickspittles will jump to his defence...

Exactly.

Clueless clowns. Buhari and his band of criminals have destroyed Nigeria beyond repair. In 2023, these criminals need to be brought to book (if Nigeria will still exist by that time).

Yenefer:
Thank God for his life. Watch how IPOB terrorist and their sympathizers will celebrate this

Fool, what concerns IPOB with this?

igboarenice:
May Allah keep anybody that say anything bad about Islam or attribute this little tiff among indigene to Fulanis away from HIS mercy

Keep quiet.

Temitopemo6e6:
From now on they will grow and eat their own food. This will now make southerners farm and own their own crops. NDDC please close all the petroleum pipes goingbto the north too, immediately. From now on no body should send anything to the north. Divided we stand. In fact start packing all the fulanis you see in sabo markets in the south and send them back to the north. They too should send us our people. Breaking the country is even easier than hoped for. They started it.

Not possible to block crude oil from going to the North. The Fulanis are in full control of crude oil. In 2023, vote wisely.

BlackfireX:
I urge the chief of staff to arrest that KANU, and jailed him , he is a terrorist




We the youths are solidly behind our Darling president

Fools are never in short supply in Nigeria.

deji17:
All PDP foot soldiers. They all supported PDP candidates in 2015 and 2019.

And you that supported Buhari, how is the going? Haven't you realized that you backed the wrong horse?

Zaggafrank:
The same way agents of the PDP were complicit in the kidnappings and bombings during their reign because they were profiting from the insecurity then. Right? Shame is PDP and PDP is shame

Knuckle heads everywhere.

EagleNest:
PDP sef. Why not put pressure on Buhari to resign. What kind of opposition is this? So lame and silent even though they are talking.

After voting for Buhari, you want the PDP to ask for his resignation. If the PDP organizes an anti Buhari protest, will you come out and participate?

easyfem:
i dont knw wat PDP is trying to achieve wit all diz information ....... there is no diff btw u guys ..... seem they dont understand wat is going on in the street ..... PDP give birth to APC ....... NIGERIAN HATE YOU GUYS

Speak for yourself.

Odewaleadesoye:
PDP keeps claiming they are better than APC but they've forgotten that they are all bunch of criminals and liars.


And to be honest, do we even have a sane president?

A president that doesn't care about the safety of the citizens.

They have successfully turned Nigeria into a country where kidnapping and abduction are now the deal of the day.

Sincerely speaking, I don't believe in Nigeria, we are like day and night that can never meet.

What is this one saying? Are you alright? Is the complicity from the Army and Presidency okay with you?

Yeah right. Liar.

Ayo2004:
Asif no be Ipobs and niger deltans full Lagos and other states,you guys should also be banned from coming to the south west

Yoruba Muslim, the ever willing tool of the Fulani.

bigfish3k:
The FG owns oil from my land but your onions and pepper from your land belongs to you.

Una try wella

But that is the reality on ground. That is why the Northern elites are against restructuring.

Juliusmalema:
FFK....Reactance.....Reno.... Capacitance.

This issue of south and north is a case of Stupidity taken too far.

Benue transporting their foodstuffs to different states, are they not northern state? Same as Taraba and good people of plateau state.

What I read is that north blocked transportation of food to South west after their union had a meeting.

Is South west now the new name for South If we may ask?

They blocked their foodstuff, if you have oil block it from reaching them than shouting south up and down and dragging others enjoying relative peace to a communique that has nothing to do with them...

Stop wasting time Reacting , turn off the valve of the oil than shouting South to other regions who are sleeping against tomorrow's Sunday service because the gate of hell will never prevail against the church.

Fyi, Benue is not part of the North. They have become wiser.

Sirjamo:
Anyone can say any rubbish, Buratai was the army chief that brought peace to Maiduguri and many other cities and now Maiduguri is back to being attacked successfully.

You are actually the one saying rubbish.

thebosstrevor1:
Good.

The terrorist groups called Eastern security network and Bokoharam should take note.

No hiding place for terrorists

Stupid man. You probably don't feel safe visiting your village for fear of Fulani militants.

uptimum123:
You were starting to make sense until you made this about religion.

Your bigotry is second to none

I hope you are also disgusted about the ethnic bigotry of your President Buhari. Otherwise you are a hypocrite.

Lagoon0:
The reason why Nigeria is still together is because the ancestors are still alive. From my grandfathers generation (one 9geria generation) down to my fathers generation (let's be hopeful generation ) , to my own generation (endsars generation #sorosoke generation).

Then our children generation will be ( Biafra republic, odua nation, arewa emirate ).

Is it not obvious Nigeria has no future!

The only reason Nigeria is still together is because of the crude oil. If the oil dries up, Nigeria will split.

thebosstrevor1:
Yes.

A United Nigeria is what we want.

A United Nigeria is the powerhouse of the black race.

Paid outside influences on social media platforms are creating internal tension in Nigeria, making us fight among ourselves so that we can not reach our potential

Nigeria cannot be united and cannot remain one if there is no equity in how the country is governed. Nigeria's disintegration is only a matter of time.

Easternmind:
Wonderful..
The south,let's start diverting petroleum,cocoa and gas to Cameroon,Benin republic,Togo and equitorial guinea...let's see who laugh last....

Easy to say. But the Northerners control the petroleum products.

They want to impoverish themselves.
