AT least five people were killed
and many sustained various
degrees of injuries at Buzuzu
village in Bukkuyum Local Council
in Zamfara State, following an
attack on the villagers by
unknown gunmen in the early
hours of Wednesday.
The attackers who were in a
large group and well armed, also
carted away dozens of cows
belonging to the residents of the
community, after killing the
owners of the animals.
The state governor, Abdul’aziz
Yari Abubakar, later summoned a
closed-door security meeting
with all traditional rulers and
security officers in the state over
the persistent killing of citizens
by unknown gunmen in many
local councils of the state.
Reports from the communities
indicate that residents of the
villages and other neighboring
communities have been fleeing
their villages, as no arrest has
been made by the security
personnel deployed to the area
by the government.
A source at the government
house, who pleaded anonymity,
told The Guardian that the
governor expressed concern
over the upsurge of insecurity in
the state, charging traditional
rulers to ensure prompt
reporting of criminal activities
from their emirates.
All efforts by journalists to get
the outcome of the meeting
proved abortive as they were
told by a top government official
that the agenda of the meeting
was not for public consumption.

gbokukueba: I see no reason why you should not do the course and it is too early to be asking this type of question when you have huge opportunity to learn and step chnage your future.
I will give you my personal experience, i was admitted into Political Science but because i didnt have Mathematics in O levels i wasnt registered so i had to choose between Guidance & Counselling or Psychology.
I choose Psychology and for the first year was trying to secure a move to History department because i felt i would do well there but thank God it didnt work out and today i have no regret studying Psychology infact am a better person because of the course i studied.
So my advise to you is go ahead and do the course and trust God to settle your future... by the way when did they merge Philosophy and Religious Studies in your school? It used to be seperate...

osymerga: @ Tolexander,so nigeria has no history before independence ? So all this countries like libya,iran,egypt etc that got their independence in the 40s,50s and 60s all started having history after independence ? U guys cant stop been funny.
FG is celebrating centenary anniversery and nt independence.They are two different events for God sake.Whats so confusing there ? For ur information,nigeria got history before independence,after all my great grand father was an administrator during the colonial era,and so are many nigerians in govt.then.The british were ruling through indirect rule by using nigerians as their eyes,,thats history. Also u can read about usman dan fodio,jaja of opopo,yoruba,igbo,and housa heritage(history).Peace

“I chased him down and

I told the restaurant owner

How come u knw so much bout dis illnesses? Or have u been infected with those before

PhysicsQED: @ DerideGull,

Whenever you return to the thread, I have another question, and I hope you can explain this to me because something seems a bit puzzling about your current list right now. You mentioned Captain A.G. Ozumba in your list that you posted earlier in this thread. But wasn't A.G. Ozumba a captain in the Nigerian Navy, not the Army? I have the same question about Captain E Ukiwe that you mentioned as well. If I am mistaken on this count, please give a correction and an explanation of when they became officers in the Navy or if they never did. It seems some of those on your list were in the armed forces, but not in the Army.

I went back to look at Luckham's book (because I thought I might be able to discover how you and Luckham were arriving at different figures on a rather simple and straightforward question), only to find that those particular statistics in Luckham's book (511 officers, 330 of these being combat status officers) are for the Army, not the entire military and he explicitly says that he's referring only to the Army, not the entire Armed Forces, in those instances where he's talking about those 330 officers.

I suspect that you and Katsumoto can come closer to reaching a consensus on this issue if it is made more explicit whether you guys are talking about one particular branch of the armed forces (the Army) or about the entire military. Honestly, it's not clear which of these two groups (the Army, or the entire military) this officers disagreement between you and Katsumoto was truly about and I think that in the course of your debates, it may have become unclear which group (the Army alone, or the entire military) was being considered. For example, in your post earlier in this thread where you listed those Igbo officers, before the names in the list, you wrote above that:

"Igbo Officers in Nigerian Army as of January 15, 1966 by Dede1"

So one would think that you really meant the Nigerian Army. However, in your most recent comment towards me, where you quoted me, you said:

"Dede1 has painstakingly listed the names and ranks of Igbo officers in Nigerian armed forces from Major General to Captain as of January 15, 1966"

So, in this instance, one would think you really meant the entire Nigerian armed forces.

There seems to be a disconnect between those two statements.

I guess the issue really is, what are you and Katsumoto disagreeing about - the ethnic composition of the officers in the Nigerian Army as of January 1966, or the ethnic composition of the officers in the entire Nigerian Armed Forces as of January 1966?


@ Katsumoto,

What do you think of the part in pp. 47-50 of the book (in the section called 'The spectre of tribalism'), where Luckham casts serious doubt (with what I think is a rather convincing argument) on the idea of it being an "Igbo coup"? I remember we discussed this issue before a long time ago, but I think Luckham makes a better argument than I did against the idea (although he doesn't talk much about the political climate in that particular section of the book). Is there some particular reason that you think Luckham's doubts (against the "Igbo coup" idea) are misguided or unconvincing?

Vivly: Why you wicked like this?
