Col Adekunle Fajuyi, who was murdered 50 years ago by Northern military officers who massed on the capital of the Western Region to take out then Head of State, Major General Johnson Aguiyi- Ironsi. The International Conference at the University of Ibadan is the place to be as prolific writer and teacher, Prof Niyi Osundare, speaks on “Fajuyi and the Politics of Remembrance”. Fiery preacher, Pastor Tunde Bakare and Prof Wale Adebanwi will spice his thoughts.

I spoke with a 27-year-old a few weeks back and I was shocked he had no idea who Fajuyi was. And it quickly dawned on me that those who stopped the teaching of History in our schools have succeeded in wiping off the memory card of our pertinent stories .They want us to be blank but we must keep telling our stories. Adekunle Fajuyi did not commit any crime than the fact that he was playing host to Ironsi on July 29,1966 when Northern officers who staged a revenge coup following the Kaduna Nzeogwu-led coup of January 15,1966 struck.Disgruntled Northern officers led by Murtala Mohammed, TY Danjuma,Martin Adamu and others spearheaded a rebellion within the army after the event of January. On one occasion, Murtala called Ironsi a “fool” in the presence of other officers and threatened to avenge the death of his Northern officer colleagues. His position as the Inspector of Signals became quite veritable for the planning of the revenge coup nicknamed “Operation Araba”(Araba is Hausa word for let’s divide it).

Murtala and his Northern colleagues had totally lost confidence in the Nigerian federation and their plan was to break Northern region from Nigeria.Their politicians had earlier pulled out of the Federal Parliament in 1953 after the crisis that followed their rejection of Enahoro’s motion that Nigeria should become independent in 1956.They produced an eight-point demand which effectively wanted a confederal Nigeria as a precondition to return. As their coup began on July 29, 1966, it was Murtala who coordinated the take-over of the International Airport in Lagos,an edifice to be named after him 10 years later.When he and his troops arrived the airport,they hijacked planes to ferry their families back to the North as a prelude to the exit of the region from Nigeria. An Igbo officer(Captain Okoye) was captured by them and tied to an iron cross and beaten to death.In Military units across Lagos,Kaduna and Ibadan, Northern troops went gaga and murdered their Igbo colleagues in gruesome manner, eliminating hundreds of them.

The arrowhead of the whole operation was Murtala who had close links with NPC as his Uncle Inuwa Wada was the Defence Minister. When Danjuma and co arrived Ibadan they made for the Government House where there was a detachment of 106 Artillery commanded by William Walbe from Plateau State on guard.It later came to light that Walbe was part of the conspiracy. He later became ADC to Gowon. By some act of naivety Fajuyi’s ADC was one Lt Adamu, while Ironsi had Lt Sani Bello. In an interview granted to an Hausa paper, Rariya in 2013, Jeremiah Useni who was a Lieutenant at the time of the coup said the following : “But while that was going on, words started going round about what the Igbo officers were saying: That they had killed the snake, but had failed to cut off the head. Which meant those of us left might make them suffer later, that there was therefore the need to finish us off. Instead of them to show remorse and apologise, they were planning another sinister attack. We were together with Col. Remawa at the time, he was serving in Abeokuta, and we heard of a grand plot to kill our emirs.

A meeting of all emirs was called in Ibadan, all our emirs gathered in Ibadan, that the head of state, Ironsi, would address them. So we said, are we going to let him come, address them and leave? Or should we just kill him or what? Our fear was that he was in the company of our emirs, and you know bullets do not select whom to hit. What do we do? We don’t want even a single emir to die. “We also considered arresting him at his lodge before he goes to meet with them. Col. Adekunle Fajuyi was the governor of South West at the time, and the head of state, Ironsi, was staying in his house in Ibadan. So we don’t want a situation where they would say he conspired with us. So we decided the best thing to do was to open fire there even if Governor Fajuyi was also caught, so that they would just be buried together, and that was what happened.” When the soldiers seized Ironsi, Fajuyi insisted on going with him as he considered it a betrayal of valour to abandon his guest at the most decisive hour.

They pushed them into a Land Rover and drove them to Lalupon on Iwo Road where the duo were shot dead. When the killings were done with, senior Northern officers converged at the Ikeja Cantonment in Lagos. Brigadier Ogundipe who was the most senior surviving officer could not face them given their mood and had to send Chief of Staff(Army) Lt-Col Yakubu Gowon to mediate. It was 28-year-old Murtala who was most recalcitrant as he insisted that Northern troops should destroy Lagos, pull out to the North and secede.When the Military Governor of the East, Lt-Colonel Ojukwu managed to reach Ogundipe,the latter told him that Northern troops had stated their conditions for a “ceasefire”: (1) the repatriation of Northerners and Southerners to their respective regions (2) the secession of Northern Region from Nigeria. Ojukwu’s response was “let them go if that is what they want”.

He later urged Ogundipe to take charge since Ironsi’s whereabouts was unknown and promised to make a broadcast 30 minutes after Ogundipe in his support. But Northern officers were no longer in the mood for a Southern rule. Ogundipe got it in clear terms when a Northern Sergeant told him: “I do not take orders from you until my (Northern) captain comes”. A Northern Private equally refused to obey orders from the Military Governor of Lagos State, Major Mobolaji Johnson. When Gowon gauged the mood of his northern colleagues,he called the head of the Police Special Branch, Alhaji MD Yusuf and informed him that the Northern soldiers had drafted a speech declaring the secession of the Northern region from Nigeria.He asked for a lawyer to look at the speech which was influenced by Murtala and Major Martin Adamu.

A Northern judge,Mr Justice Bello who was in Lagos at the time told the soldiers that all the nation’s money was locked in the Central Bank of Nigeria in Lagos and asked them how they would pay their soldiers after secession without access to the CBN.Some of the soldiers quickly went to throw cordon around the CBN. The Northern officers were joined by the British and American ambassadors, Sir Francis Cumming-Bruce and Elbert Matthews, respectively. Among other civilians with them were two Northern judges,head of Northern region’s civil service, Ahajji Ali Akilu,Muktar Tahir, Chief Justice Adetokunbo Ademola,Mr Justice Bello,the chairman of the Public Service Commission, Alhaji Sule Katagum. There were also permanent secretaries such as Alhaji Musa Daggash, Abdul Aziz Attah, Yusuf Gobir, Allison Ayida, Ibrahim Damcida, etc.

Police representatives included the Inspector -General of police, Alhaji Kam Salem and the head of the Special Branch,MD Yussuf From three days they argued ferociously over the soul of Nigeria with the civilians trying hard to convince the soldiers that the North had everything to lose if it should secede as it would be landlocked between the South and the sea.It was a cul-de-sac as the coup was not planned with any objective for Nigeria as a whole but a mere revenge against the Igbo and to move the North out of Nigeria. After they failed to convince the meeting on secession and with the country without a government for three days, the Northern officers agreed to drop their plan to secede but only on the condition that the most senior officer among them Lt-Col Gowon be appointed the Head of State.

This was done for the 32-year-old in spite of the presence of more senior officers in the chain of command (all Southerners) like Brigadier Ogundipe,Commodore Wey, Col Robert Adebayo, Lt -Cols Nwaw, Imo Kurubo, Effiong,Njoku and several other Lt-Cols who were commissioned before Gowon. Adekunle Fajuyi The initial coup speech given by Gowon was poorly edited that it still dripped with the poisonous mindset of Murtala and his “Araba” colleagues. Hear him: “I have now come to the most difficult part, or the most important part, of this statement. I am doing it, conscious of the great disappointment and heartbreak it will cause all true and sincere lovers of Nigeria and of Nigerian unity both at home and abroad, especially our brothers in the Comm-onwealth. “As a result of the recent events and the other previous similar ones, I have come to strongly believe that we cannot honestly and sincerely continue in this wise, as the basis of trust and confidence in our unitary system of government has not been able to stand the test of time.

I have already remarked on the issues in question. Suffice to say that, putting all considerations to test-political, economic, as well as social-the base for unity is not there or is so badly rocked, not only once but several times. I therefore feel that we should review the issue of our national standing and see if we can help stop the country from drifting away into utter destruction” (Yakubu Gowon, August1, 1966). The “difficult part” that was to cause “heartbreak” had been deleted from the speech of course and it was time to Go-On-With- One-Nigeria on their own terms. When the same folks today tell us that the “unity of Nigeria is not negotiable”, they are definitely not talking about the unity they once questioned as narrated above. I think what they are saying is that “our conquest of Nigeria is not negotiable"

SECESSION THREATS AND COUNTER THREATS, APC LED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THE MAJOR BENEFICIARIES.

I woke up very early this morning and decided to read through some major news stories and also check the news feed of some of my friends on social media before making my journey, and everywhere I look at, hatred and the call for division and breakaway was all I was seeing.

Personally, I was writing two articles late last night, the first was to highlight how the igbos has been both a blessing and a curse to the other ethnic nationalities making up the Nigerian State, and the other was to explain in clear terms my stand on why I choose not be part of the biafra struggle but reading through all the hate speeches and seeing also the many ills being perpetuated by the APC led federal government, I decided to refocus my thoughts and energy.

It's been over two years now that this government came into power through an ideology built on falsehood and propaganda, even with them now in power, their ideological background still hasn't changed, and why no one is asking questions is something that have left me scratching my very big head.

Before the elections, some of the key campaign points included in their manifesto were that of a total restructure of our political system and then there was the one of not allowing any political office holder make any trip abroad to get medical care at the expense of we the tax payers, alas even with an overwhelming majority in the two chambers of the National Assembly, they have refused discussing the terms of the restructure, even the president is now permanently camped in the UK, draining our scarce resources even further, yet we are more concerned with issuing of threats.

For the records, none of Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa, Niger Delta Republic and any other secessionist groups will provide a better alternative to what we are experiencing in Nigeria today, in fact power control is the only reason some of this groups want to secede, everyone wants to be the NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN .

The 2017 budget is yet to be signed and we already at the midway point of the year, worst still the one for 2016 has no proof of implementation, our debt profile keeps rising at an alarming rate, with the poor citizens being taxed on almost every financial service on offer, from card maintenance fee to stamp duty charges, all this added to the very high inflation rate, even the ownerless money recovered have all evaporated without trace, yet we all are holding hands and singing kumbaya, who did this to us.

Marginalisation remains the umbrella under which many of these groups calling for a break way are hiding under but in all sincerity, our own people have always been an are still part of this system we continually claim to have marginalised us, the same category of people that will be the new Lords in that new "wonder land" you are fighting for, how then do you expect to get a different result.

Buhari and his cohorts are smiling and clicking glasses in their hideout right this very minute, laughing over our idiocy and making mockery of our collective intelligence, off course why shouldn't it be so, when they are the biggest beneficiaries of this whole division.

Distract them and drain the resources and whenever they remember our faults, just blame it on Jonathan, then ask the writer and director to release a new episode, this has been the script from the very beginning and how well it has been working for them.

You will not get a better deal as a Biafran, neither will I get a better deal as a Niger Delta republican, so instead of fanning the embers of disunity and sounding the drums of war, let us focus on tackling the many ills of today's government and search for better alternatives that will work for us all together as one.

For the records, a certain man called Saint Babatunde Raji Fashola who spent 78 million naira (only) to maintain and upgrade a website once said, "a serious government would fix our power problems in six months", this is two years now and we are yet to see any abracadabra from this magician, in fact the little power he net have been taken away, paving way for darkness to take over our homes and cover their many atrocities, my generator works more now with an unsubsidised fuel, still I get to pay more for the spiritual power I didn't use, not even in my dreams.

Let us continue the threats and counter threats and allow ourselves to be used as pawns in this game of theirs, let us continue to ejacuate hatred while these sons of baal unleash on us their tools of propaganda and falsehood. Just so you know, at the end of the script, they would have successfully gotten away with wasting four of our very precious years.

The choice is yours.


Shalom.....

but this democracy ur kinds are doing now,is not d type he stood for,fight & died for, wherever our pioneers leaders are resting,they will be shedding tears on their grave,beside d urhobo nation in general,when will Anthony enarhoro & festus okotie eboh be celebrated by our elites.

NwaAmaikpe:
Aro Baggars no get joy.. Odin must be mad now.

those who d gods love died young,r.i.v, where there is no wahala.

The Ibos want Biafra
The North wants Ibo's exit
The Yorubas want to play middle man
The Ibos are saying "we have investments in your areas and cannot leave them" And the fight is being cooked. Amongst all these,
the President is in London
Governors are sharing bailout funds
Workers salaries are not paid
Government officials have their children schooling abroad
Ministers and senators are looting
The poor Hausa man is riding Okada
The poor Ibo man is riding Okada
The poor Yoruba man is riding Okada
The poor Hausa man sleeps in an open field as Alamajiri
The poor Yoruba man sleeps under the bridge as Alaye
The poor Ibo man sleeps under the bridge as Agbero
It is pertinent to note that the poor from all ethnic groups in Nigeria have everything in
common and so is the rich.
Do not allow the agitation of an Ibo man who lives in UK or USA for Biafra cause the killing of the Ibo man in Adamawa.
The rich hate us that much.
Do not allow the Alhaji whose children are living abroad to persuade you to go and
start killing on the street of Kaduna.
The problem in the country is not the agitation of any ethnic group but the unity of the elite and the disunity of the masses.
How many times have you taken your agitation to question your local government Chairmen?
Why have you not asked your Governors through agitation how they spent bailout fund?
Why have you not agitated against that government official whose mansions you go to beg for help?
Sad to note;
All the Governors love themselves
All the past Presidents love themselves
All the senators love themselves
All the top government officials love themselves
All the looters love themselves
Why can't you and I love ourselves?
Why can we combine efforts and fight them?
Why do we fight ourselves?
Why do we allow them the freedom we don't have?
Remember; a good Nigeria is better than a good Arewa, Oduduwa or Biafra...... # EnuffForTheWise
# GodSaveMyCountry # ProtectMiPeople, the unity of the masses can bring down any government no matter how sophisticated it,for wars are delighted to those who have no experience of it,#movement against secession,one Nigeria is all we want#.
