Jamal is flipant and very disorganised.

Bassam is calm and highly calculative. you don't see him coming.

he has this unassuming look.

can't wait for season two

most of what u just said are historically correct, the part that dimka contacted Gowon to overthrow murtala is a little bit confusing to me, Dimka was a very ambitious person who planned the coup to take over as Military President ...Historically successful coups in Nigeria have also always been planned by a particular group of lucky/intelligient officers(most of them are now eating fat on Nigeria's wealth we all know them)... I said lucky because fate has always been working in their favour...

Am not sure Gowon actually wanted to be in power after the bloodless coup, i think Gowon was actually tired of power after the civil war wahalas...

One thing that still baffles me is the issue of overthrowing ones regime, does not mean there was no procedure in the military that dictates who becomes the next military head of state, was power always to be taken by force not by due process... I dont think there was any peaceful handing over during the military era...

well all coups are different. in the coup that happened when they installed buhari, he was not part of the coup. do you think a disciplined man like buhari will take part in a coup ? coups are for the power drunk and reckless. buhari is neither reckless nor is he power drunk

[b]Biafra[edit]
When Biafra was proclaimed on May 30, 1967 Banjo was pardoned by President Odumegwu Ojukwu and made Colonel due to his involvement in a 1966 coup. When the Nigerian Army invaded Biafra on July 6, 1967 Ojukwu sent Banjo and Major Albert Okonkwo to invade Nigeria. Banjo was able to capture Benin City in less than a day and was able to get within 300 kilometers of the Nigerian capital Lagos. After Banjo was repulsed at the Battle of Ore he decided to plot a coup against Ojukwu as well a plot to assassinate Nigerian President Yakubu Gowon. Banjo wired a letter to the United States asking for support for his cause but was denied. One of Banjo's fellow plotters informed Ojukwu about the plot and Ojukwu had Banjo and 2 other coup plotters arrested. After a two-day trial Banjo and the two other plotters were found guilty of treason and were sentenced to death. On September 22, 1967 Banjo, Emmanuel Ifeajuna, and Philip Alale were marched into the Enugu city center and were tied to a pole. A firing squad of Biafran soldiers fired at them. When Banjo was hit he yelled "I'm not dead yet!" and he had to be shot four more times before he died.[4][5][6][7][8][/b]

Kc3000:



[b]Is Buhari more disciplined than Idiagbon who was part of the coup? Major Idowu Bamidele got wind of the 1983 coup plot and took it up with his chain of command to Buhari who was the GOC of the 3rd Div, and was subsequently arrested and detained for two weeks till the coup was executed, on Buhari's orders.


The death of Brigadier Bako(I believe he was the only casualty) cannot be used to exempt Buhari from the coup plot. Maj Jokolo rtd (Buhari's ADC and former Emir of Gwandu) disclosed that their(Buhari led group) merged with the IBB group, which was also plotting a coup about the same time, and sidelined a third plot being led by one Maj. Joseph Jetawo.

Many participants in a coup plot may not have an active role, but are well aware of the plot, provide logistics, do their part to conceal the plot, provide information and so forth. In the very least, Buhari was involved at this level.

I understand that sometimes coup plotters would bequeath power to a senior officer that they believe holds similar principles, but if the senior officer is aware of the coup plot before it is executed and does nothing to quell it, you better believe he has become a part of the plot. In Buhari's case, Major Bamidele's ordeal gives us at least one known instance of Buhari acting in support of the 1983 coup plot.

The coup that brought Buhari and Abacha to power was an easy coup as they were plotted against civilian regimes and succeeded.
When it comes to strategy and Bravery, lets give it up to these men

Yakubu Gowon
Murtala Muhammed
Ibrahim Babangida.

These are men of sterner stuff.

If Idiagbon had not perform that mecca trip in aug 1985 ,IBB,Abacha and co would have been long gone and save Nigeria a mess.

Last election, our most sophisticated S.West finally handed Nigeria to the Fula to resume its usual business of keeping Nigeria most uncomfortable country for its citizens .

S.West's anger? That Jonathan did not make for enough representation of the S.West in his administration.
