Thanks. These folks are so pathetic in their tribal bigotry that they argue against common sense, basic academic principles and simplest logic. Funnily enough they are quick to claim they beat people blue and black in debates where they were subdued with superior logic. Beaters of vacuous chests.
What do you expect from people who have been baptised with the waters of deceit, hypocrisy and propaganda like they have? They were raised on a diet of deception, and when you give them a taste of their own medicine, they start playing the victim card.

Pazienza ran away from that thread without answering any of the questions I am about to ask you now. Please visit it again if you have forgotten how it ended.
As for the bolded, you have just exposed how uneducated you are.


This is shameless coming from you.

You took days to reply my rebuttals, and when you did, your rebuttal was a mere distraction leading to an endless argument with no end in sight, I simply lost interest in the discussion with your delay in reply and lack of new insights, there were simply better topics in NL then more worthy of my attention than your endless and senseless back and forth.
In simple terms, you were not providing New insights other than throwing tantrums around in pathetic attempt to have the last word, which I gladly let you have to save you from your misery.

How really good a person's intention is about an action is judged against the prevailing background circumstances under which he took that action.
The coup and its resultant anarchical situation back then was as a result of the fact that the government at the center (headed by Balewa, Zik and Okotie Eboh) abused powers grossly by disobeying the Privy Council-Supreme Court equivalent, imposing falsified and disputed census figures on the nation, rigging elections in broad daylight, using the police to unlawful silence the opposition, etc.
A military officer who really came to the rescue and sincere about that mission should have found a way to further weaken the centre and strengthened the regions more in order to prevent future abuse of powers by the center by way of illegally interfering with the internal affairs of regions, thus avoiding a repetition of the ugly situation. But Aguiyi Ironsi, with his Unification Decree, took more powers away from the regions and gave them to the center whose abuse of power had just landed the country in anarchy. And you call that good intention?
I think he was just dishonest and after an agenda up his sleeves.
Well, this is an eye opener to me, never knew all this. Thanks for the detailed explanation, always appreciated.

That is why we urgently need History back in our curriculum. The removal was conceived by OBJ and implemented by Yaradua/GEJ.
