The man that removed federalism and replaced it with unitary system

He failed to prosecute the killers of Tafawa Balewa because they were Igbos setting the stage for revenge and civil war

This picture just reminds me that all will live and die. Only God knows where they are now. Therefore, for the few days you have on earth, use it to achieve something positive. Purge yourself of hate, tribalism and evils.

It's better you believe that heaven exists, live a good life and later find out that you were deceived than not believe that heaven exists and later discover that it does.

The Tinubu urchins are still spreading propaganda that Ironsi introduced unitary government. When Ironsi was killed we still had regional Governors (Military In charge). Ojukwu in the East, Adekunle Fajuyi in the West, Hassan in the north and David Ejoor in Midwest.

It was Gowon that scrapped it.

He did not remove federalism in any way, it was Gowon that did that when he abolished the 4 Regions that existed at the time, and created 12 states

Those who came after Gowon kept subdivided those 12 states until we got 36 states we have today

Ironsi ed the decree already, that period you were talking about he had already collapsed tge civil service into one, and was struggling to cross-post the military governors outside their regions in pursuant of the unification project but Fajuyi and Ojukwu resisted him, because the northern governor was very incompetentand they didn't want him mes their own area.

What are you talking about? Zik contested and won the majority and would have become the Western premier before the infamous cross carpeting. A Fulani was the first mayor of Enugu, so that unification has always been there. What we are talking about was the abolishing of semi autonomy the regions enjoyed before Gowon created 12 states.

If history is to be teach in every school. Each school will have a different side of history


Now they lied the man whose tenure didn't last and after his death

Each region still has their premier leader

Yet they accuse Aguiyi Ironsi

“The Queen lived almost a hundred years. You know her children, under her rule the United Kingdom flourished and excelled — a fulfilled life.

Despite all their atrocities against Africa, she lived and died peacefully. There has never been a trace of any sort of generational curse in her lineage or the British Royal Family.

But, it’s your own ancestors, them that suffered the brute of slavery and bore the chains of inhumanity — chains forged by countries we call blessed — they are the ones who according to your pastors, were not only cursed by God but also despised.

And this curse — unbelievably transcends to their generations unborn.

A god that curses victims of ignorance and wickedness and blesses those who kill, enslaves, ræpes, steal, sows seeds of discord, create chaos, forcefully conscripts others into their religions, destroys and pillaged the sanctity and cultures of others — such a god deserves no worshippers.

And for those praying and cursing the Queen in her dead bed. The curse did not work while she was alive and it will not work now. Go and hold your greedy and shameless African leaders responsible for the underdevelopment of Africa.

You can’t keep blaming outsiders and keep electing drug barons, terrorist kingpins, certificate-less and treacherous political merchants, unhealthy entitled grandfathers, and unprincipled men and women who divide and rule.”

Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi was actually assassinated by a group of mutinous Northern Nigerian officers and men who were led by Major Murtala Mohammed and included Captain Theophilus Danjuma, Lieutenant Muhammadu Buhari, Lieutenant Ibrahim Babangida and Lieutenant Sani Abacha in a revolt against his government in what was popularly called the July counter-coup.... BUHARI'S hatred for the igbo's didn't start today.
