    In summary of the whole narrative, britain should be held accountable for all calamities that befell us as a country. Non of the british colonies knew peace as they left. India and pakistan are glaring instances of the british devide and rule strategem including nigeria. The only solution is regional autonomy politically and economically, resources control, devolution of central power , true federalism, confederacy, or self determination as the case may be.

    Gowon was senior to Ojukwu.
    Gown actually joined the Army several years
    before Ojukwu and was commissioned 2/Lt. on
    October 19, 1955 (his 21st birthday). But
    Ojukwu's date of commission was backdated
    to September 22, 1955 on account of his
    University degree. Gowon became a Lt. on
    September 9, 1957, 13 days before Ojukwu.
    But Ojukwu became a Captain on September
    22, 1961, just shy of one month before Gowon
    became a Captain. On March 7, 1963 Oiukwu
    was promoted Major, two days before Gowon.
    However, both men became Lt. Cols. on the
    same day.

    The TVC presenter has misled viewers with his FALSE statement at 14:10 onwards and I am surprised Mr Isama has feigned ignorance. Ojukwu's main concern was safety for Igbos being butchered across the country, also the fact that since Maj. gen Ironsi had been killed the next most senior army officer was Brig General Ogundipe who mysteriously was no where to be found when he should have taken over. If Ojukwu harboured any such ambitions then he would have not been instrumental in suppressing the first coup in the North. How do I know this? I was fortunate enough to have met the late Lt. Col Nwawo GOC 4th Area Command MidWest Region.

    The Fulanis to the north are minorities, they conquered the north, most especially the Hausas and enslaved them. The Fulanis have a well known agenda and that is to also conquer and dominate the south and enslave southerners just like they have enslaved the Hausas. Why is it that Boko Haram is still in existence? Why is it that the Fulani herdsmen are able to carry AK47’s openly and roam the entire country without being disarmed by the Fulani man in office or the law enforcement agencies? To the north, all of the Emirs from Kano to Ilorin are all Fulanis. Wake up Nigeria, we are living in very troubled times. Nigeria’s problem is leadership.

    Ojukwu never had the ambition you claim that he had wanted to become Commander in Chief. Rather, Ojukwu refused to accept Gowon as Commander in Chief because Ogundipe was the highest ranked officer at the time. Ojukwu insisted that Gowon should step down for Ogundipe. Ojukwu was senior to Gowon in the Army, nonetheless!!

You guys should just learn how to live together happily. Nija has a lot of potential if united. The voice or influence Nija has in Africa n the world wouldn't have been possible if the country was divided. Dividing your country is just for selfish interest of some power Igbo elites.

      The Sardauna Ahmadu Bello coined the phrase HausaFulani, so the caliphate used both the hausa and islam to weild political power. Middle belt and the Kanuris had always been against the caliphate. Then the Igbos (Zik and Ironsi) wanted the full control of Nigeria, hence the unitary system by Ironsi and alliances by Zik and Zik's opposition to Awo requesting regional succession clause . Yorubas were always in opposition until this APC tenure.
