Impressive. But it is sad how the world makes more effort towards developing weapons for wars than towards ending wars.

War is hugely profitable. It creates so much money because it's so easy to spend money very fast. There are huge fortunes to be made. So there is always an encouragement to promote war and keep it going, to make sure that we identify people who are 'others' whom we can legitimately make war upon.

"The Federal Government of President Muhammadu Buhari is in a hurry. We are in a hurry to develop Nigeria".
What a ludicrous joke

Great job.

The stress level is very high ,many people walking about the streets have high bp and it damages the heart ,you will be hearing stories of ppl falling down and dying and yet with no sign of sickness , the most dangerous thing is that unless u have prior knowledge of education about this silent killer,you will not know anything is wrong with you .

The Nigerian factor itself under the present dispensation alone is enough to alleviate stress levels and high BP...Well Nigeria sef as a country don get high BP. People should just take care of their health and monitor their hearts constantly.

Ribadu was likely instructed by Balewa to please Azikiwe because Zik was the Coalition partner of the Balewa Govt

From this you will notice that the Sardauna was not always able to influence Balewa’s Position as Ademulegun was Sardauna’s preferred Candidate


Balewa told Ayo Rosiji that he had been under Pressure from Azikiwe ,Mbadiwe and the rest of the NCNC Crowd together with Ribadu to appoint Ironsi as head of the Army

Azikiwe may have worked on Ribadu first

Thank you for this.
Great findings...that's quite a convincing reason. Very true. I do remember how Balewa was trying to please Zik based on the coalition arrangement...So it was always about interests.
Will need to go find Rosiji's book and read.

Christistruth00:
Very Good Research and honesty

Greatly appreciated


The Appointment Of Ironsi as Army Chief was very Contentious because it was the result of Azikiwe trying to have his way by fire by force though it was not iin the best interest of the Army or the Country

You saw what happened less than a Year later in Jan 1966

Ironsi’s boys that were supposed to be providing Protection to the Prime Minister and Priemiers of the North and West pounced on them in the middle of the Night and Slaughtered them

All the warnings that Ironsi was given that his boys were planning a Coup and that he should take urgent action to prevent it from happening fell on deaf ears , even the Police warned Ironsi of a planned Coup

Is it any wonder that Gen Ogundipe and David Ejoor Concluded that Ironsi himself was part of the Coup

Well you've laid some points here. Several reports have explicated Azikiwe's involvement in Ironsi's appointment. But having read excerpts from the book by Clarke, what I find really interesting and at the same time puzzling is why Alhaji Muhammadu Ribadu also wanted Ironsi (an Easterner). Is it cos Ironsi was the competent one, like was stated? Or what were the other factors at play? Somebody who has some knowledge about Ribadu's role in Ironsi's appointment might probably help us in providing some facts.

Idiko1:
The above crap is a mere figment of wild imagination. Officers are not numbered as NA. Officers are numbered simply as N. Other ranks are numbered as NA. Ugboma is the only person senior to Ironsi both in enlistment and commission. Ugboma enlisted in 1936 and commissioned in 1948. Ironsi enlisted in 1942 and commissioned in 1949 as 2Lt and promoted the same day to Lt. The so-called Wellington Duke Bassey enlisted in 1946 and commissioned in 1949 as 2Lt. He resigned his commission as did Ugboma. Any officer or any soldier who did not transition to Nigerian army when Nigeria gained independence in 1960 cannot be numbered with N or NA instead WA. Ugboma and Duke Bassey cannot be said to be "N" since they resigned their commission before Nigeria gained independence. Due to inherent academic laziness and fear of Igbo, most Nigerians were unable to strike a difference between Duke Bassey and Umoh Bassey. Wellington Umoh Bassey enlisted in1949 and commissioned as 2Lt in 1953. He was the Lt Col who commanded S&T Depot in Zaria before January 15, 1966.

Well like I stated earlier, I might not know much about these issues, but what I culled was from a book written on how Ironsi become GOC.

Methinks this issue of Ironsi becoming Head instead of Bassey had to to with musings within the army on who is competent enough to lead, or probably personal interests of some powerful political blocs in Nigeria as at that time and such interests were beyond sectional...well at least from my findings after reading excerpts from a book titled "A Right Honourable Gentleman". The book written by Trevor Clarke, a British Colonial Administrator was about Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.
According to the book, the last British General Commanding Officer, Major General Everard was set for retirement in 1965. He recommended Brigadier Ogundipe (NA/6) to succeed him while Sir Ahmadu Bello wanted Brigadier Ademulegan (NA/4), but senior officers within the army favoured Brigadier Maimalari (NA/ eight). However, at the end, then defense minister (a very powerful figure as at then, also the grand father of Aisha Buhuri), Alhaji Muhammadu Rbadu selected Brigadier Ironsi (NA/3), who was appointed as GOC. Ironsi, Congo war veteran was later promoted Major General. Clarke described the appointment as very contentious. The question that arises from this is why was Ironsi Alhaji Ribadu's choice? Is it because it takes more than seniority to make an army chief? I guess that might be the answer as some persons on this thread have explicated that it takes more than seniority to be an army chief. Otherwise, Bassey (NA/1) should have been made army chief.

So sad...Nigeria has never had it this bad.

Lol look at this

Seen it. That will be a welcome development should the bill see the light of the day.

Navalsadiq:
Oga it was an Igbo coup because most of the officers killed were top military officers from the north.

The picture doesn't change anything.if an only if MAI malari believed he was standing in the midst of traitors he would have watched his step and probably still be alive till today

Ifejuana killed Mai malari and Kaduna nzogu killed sar dauna of sokoto

Becareful when dealing with an Igbo man betrayal is a cause that flows in their blood stream.

Though I might agree with some of your conjectures about the civil war, I will opinionate that from a remote perspective it wasn't an Igbo coup (even though the arrowheads, Nzeogwu and Ifejuana were Igbo), but the factors at play, many of which have been variously enunciated here made it seem like an Igbo coup...There were a lot of factors at play which made the coup inevitable.
Regarding why Ifejuana killed Mai malari, accounts explicate that Ifejuana had a strong personal disdain for Mai malari. This is because he had used his rank to collect his (Ifejuana's girlfriend) at some point in time. Thus during the coup, when Ifejuana was assigned the task of capturing Mai Malari in Lagos, he was told to keep him alive and force him to announce that the Hausas were part of the coup. However, Ifeajuna recognized him as the man who used his rank to collect his girlfriend and shot him dead (an unprofessional act). It is said that had it been Ifejuana had kept Mai Malari alive, the coup would have been successful and might have had a different outcome.
Remember Nzeogwu had also performed same task in Kaduna by capturing Hassan Katsina and taking him to the radio station to announce that Hausa were part of the coup. Also remember Katsina was not killed and later played a very important role in the counter coup and in the civil war.

I wasn't thought history and I finished in 2011.
All I'm saying let's nit be saying things about history if we don't have the meaningful information.

You finished quite recently...Actually, prior History as a subject was much alive in schools, though it was loosing its prominence, but the Federal Government accelerated the pace of disinterest in the subject in 2007 by deemphasizing it from the teaching curriculum (reasons why it become absent in most schools). Hitherto, while History was not a core subject among the humanities based subjects, it was seen as important.

9gerian:
Recounted accounts suggest that the coup wasn’t labeled an Igbo coup initially, as Nigerians all over the country were said to have welcomed the coup. That was until the dust began to settle and more facts revealed that no Igbo leader was killed even as other sides took stock of their losses. For even the Bendelites (Niger-Delta) lost Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh to the coup.

Also, Nnamdi Azikiwe’s absence and somewhat deliberate stay-put in the UK raised suspicion that he was probably aware of an orchestrated coup against other tribe leaders. Major Ifeajuna (the coup mastermind) was said to be related to Azikiwe.

As they say, the rest is history…

Facts! At least from the perspective of an unbiased analysis of the War.

Mrquote:
Government neglect, do you have history in your SSCE and when did you finish secondary?

Lol. Absolutely. I wrote both WAEC and NECO exams in 2002 and History was one of the subjects I wrote.

Mrquote:
Don't you think history suppose to be an important subject that suppose to be thought and comp subject in secondary. It suppose to be in the same level as English and math. History is every important but because of minister that his children are abroad and because our unity we decided that history is not important. That's why you come here and say things that are not facts it will just end up as a hear say. I will check it out or ask

The problem with History as a school subject is multifarious. While many will adduce it to government neglect (there are a host of other factors). However, Nigerians in general have contributed to killing History, reasons why there has been a growing disinterest in the subject in schools. It is only quite recently that Nigerians are beginning to appreciate the value of History and it's importance as a school subject.

Mrquote:
Really do you have history in your SSCE result?

History is still taught in schools. In some states, it is a compulsory subject at the primary school level, it is also mandatory for students at the junior secondary level to study the subject at least in virtually all the states in Southwestern Nigeria.
The reason why History as a school subject isn't as prominent as it was in those days can be adduced to a declining interest among students especially at the Senior Secondary level due to a host of factors ranging from Government neglect, pedagogy...etc.
