Chapter 11, THE STENCH of UNITY by Chike Nwaka (Continued)
THE JAN 15, 1966 COUP: WHO LED IT?
..The situation in the South, was indeed, a sharp contrast to what it was in the North...
Nzeogwu, was on top of the situation in the North, given his popularity and acceptability among the troops, his position and office in the NMTC, which was so structured that it had within itself all the support services necessary for such an operation. However, same could not be said of Ifeajuna who was the Brigade Major under Brigadier Maimalari. When Ifeajuna tried to organize a rehearsal exercise, he was reprimanded by Maimalari. The politically tensed atmosphere in the West and Lagos by extension, brought about the close monitoring of all activities, military and civil, in that Region and Lagos.

The revolutionary coup plotters, were very aware of the glaring handicaps they faced in the South-East, and South-West, yet they persisted. They were hell-bent on carrying out their plans on the 15th of January, 1966.
Why?
The answer is not far-fetched.
The 15th January, 1966 military coup actually took place when it did, so as to forestall the 'thorough pounding' of Western Region,
planned by the Feudal North, to take place on the 17th of January, 1966.

WHO ACTUALLY WAS THE COUP LEADER?
When a cursory glance is cast at the 15th January, 1966 Military coup, one gets the impression that it was Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu or Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna that led the coup. Although, the military officer who publicly announces the coup, is perceived as the leader, however, a thorough examination of the roles played by each of the three Majors that formed the nucleus of the revolution would reveal a contrary factual view.

It was neither Nzeogwu nor Ifeajuna that was the leader of that coup. The answer is clearly found in the book, ‘Why We Struck’, by Major Adewale Ademoyega.

The trio—the revolutionary troika, who formed the nucleus of the revolutionary group, had met in 1961. Let me refer us again to what Ademoyega wrote in his book, ‘Why We Struck:
“...these meetings were between Ifeajuna and me on the one hand, and between Nzeogwu and me on the other. This pattern remained almost the same throughout.”

While Nzeogwu and Ademoyega were making concerted efforts in Kaduna, Ifeajuna was making similar efforts in Lagos. And it was only in 1965 that the two efforts were brought together. When in Early September, 1965, Ademoyega’s branch of the NMTC was moving to Abeokuta, he left Nzeogwu with the understanding that their efforts would continue in the South just as it was going on in the North.

It was Major Ademoyega who stumbled on a lead to an impending action by Tafawa Balewa’s Federal Government, a dastardly program packaged for the West, when he had a brief chance interaction with a famous politician, Chief HO Davis, who had been in the nationalist struggle since 1941, and was a federal minister in Balewa’s government.

Equipped with this valuable lead, Ademoyega and Ifeajuna went to work. After a subtle, extensive probing at the Officers’ Mess, Apapa, they discovered that the Balewa government had indeed concluded such plans to use the Army, rejigged to suit their purpose, to eliminate the elites of the West, on the 17th of January, 1966.

Ademoyega also visited Nzeogwu several times in Kaduna. On the 10th of January, 1966. Together, both of them carried out surveillance patrols on and around the Government House, Kaduna, and, the Premier’s Lodge.

He, Major Ademoyega, also made contacts, and was informed that the Umra Hadj contingent led by Ahmadu Bello would return to Kaduna on the 13th of January1966.

Although they adduced many reasons ranging from corruption, nepotism, to abuse of office and flagrant excessive misuse of power, for their intervention, the most urgent one according to them, was the issue of the plan to eliminate Western Nigeria’s elites by the Balewa government, as unraveled by Ademoyega.

Major Adewale Ademoyega traversed the North and South, holding separate meetings with Nzeogwu in the North, and Ifeajuna in the South; coordinating their activities. Ademoyega was responsible for searching out ‘suitable’ officers for their ‘revolution’ in the South.
Nzeogwu never for once, visited the South for the purposes of their ‘revolution’. Ifeajuna never went to the North after he was transferred to the South.

Major ADEMOYEGA was THE FULCRUM—THE PIVOT on which the other two Majors, Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna, who made up the triune nucleus of the revolutionary troops, operated. He was the EPICENTRE—the very ‘HEART’ OF THE NUCLEUS. He was THE ONE LIAISON between the other two members of the troika. He was the COMMON FACTOR recurring in the coup planning equation. He was the Sole Coordinator of the coup. He was indeed the de facto leader of the coup—a venture which, if they had succeeded in, they would have installed Awolowo as the Head of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

ADEMOYEGA only ‘WISELY’ CHOSE TO LEAD FROM THE BACKGROUND!

Chapter 11, The STENCH of UNITY by Chike Nwaka.(Continued)
THE JAN 15, 1966 COUP: WHO LED IT?
..This evil design was to be replicated in the East if it succeeded in the West...

Towards the realization of this horrendous scheme by Balewa’s Central Government, there was an ongoing reorganization of the
top ranks of the Military and the Police.

General Ironsi was directed to embark on his terminal leave which would begin in the middle of January, 1966. Brigadier Ademulegun, the next to Ironsi in the line of seniority was skipped, while Brigadier Maimalari was chosen to take over from Ironsi.

The Inspector General of Police, Louise Edet was forced to proceed on leave from 20th December, 1965, while the most senior officer after him, Chief TA Fagbola, the DIG Special Force, was retired, and the officer third in rank seniority, Alhaji Kam Salem was catapulted to the position of Inspector General of Police.

After Balewa and the feudal North must have completed their Islamization and northernization of the top ranks of the Army and the Police, the Tafawa Balewa led federal government would then deploy troops faithful to them towards the achievement of their intended despicable purposes. Lieutenant Colonel Largema’s 4th Battalion at Ibadan, the 2nd Battalion at Ikeja slated to be taken over soon by Lieutenant Colonel Gowon in replacement of Major Igboba, had been scheduled to execute this ‘purge’.

They had settled for the 17th of January, 1966, for this major project, having calculated that Sir Ahmadu Bello must have come back from pilgrimage.

Considering these series of actions, especially the lopsided rejigging of the Military and Police hierarchies by the Northern Peoples’ Congress, NPC-led, Federal Government and the earlier intelligence reports gathered as regards the dastardly plot against Western Nigeria, the three main revolutionary Majors did not hesitate to arrive at a definite decision to strike while the iron was hot.

This plot by the feudal North which would have been activated on the 17th of January, 1967, was viewed by the revolutionary coup plotters as a most evil act which must be checked. Hence, they quickly fixed their own coup for the 15th of January, to forestall the feudal North’s plot.

The resolve of the January 15, 1966 coup plotters, as stated earlier, was, to free Awolowo from prison and install him as the Head of State. The coup was thwarted by Ojukwu in the North and Ironsi in the South. Both men were marked for arrest/elimination by the Jan 15 coup plotters. Ironsi’s name was listed for arrest/elimination right from the onset, whereas Ojukwu’s name was added when the plotters realised that he would not cooperate with them.
In the aftermath of the foiled coup of the revolutionary military officers, the coup was deliberately branded an exclusively Igbo affair, and the Igbo thus became the ‘fall guys’—the proverbial scapegoats. Like I have always insisted, the politically naïve Igbo military officers had, as the Igbo would say, ‘snatched the green bottle blowfly perched on another man’s dirty sheen, only to crush it on their own clean sheen.’

Truth is, if any Igbo, politician of substance, or of the intelligentsia, had a pre-knowledge of that January 15, 1966 coup, they would have vehemently opposed it! As unfolding events soon proved, the young officers had been used to scuttle the soar-away economic growth and all-round advancement of the East, a development programme which was about being replicated in the Mid-West by Dennis Osadebe, the Premier. They had been used to topple the bureaucracy of a Federal Government which the East had its fair share in, just for the purposes of installing a supposedly socialist welfare government headed by Awolowo, a man, who in their raw, unbiased pragmatic assessment would steer Nigeria to a better, more glorious height.

They never really understood that Nigeria was yet, and, still is, a country without a common nationalist concept—that generally accepted idea which every citizen holds as higher; beyond sectional, ethnic, and religious sentiments.

They did not take into consideration, the contrasting, very divergent social backgrounds, traditional governance systems and
world views, already firmly entrenched within the collective psyche of each of the major ethnic nations in the different regions of Nigeria.

To be specific, while the Igbo are egalitarian, and practice a brand of democracy—a traditional, all-inclusive democratic system, which they nurtured through many centuries, the Monarchist Yoruba evolved a governance system by autonomous ethnic traditional royalties, whereas the Fulani, sworn feudal imperialists, have the colonial mind-set of dominating all others around them. The tenets of the Fulani brand of Islam readily reinforced their choice of violent conquest and subjugation of others.

The young coup plotters failed to realize that whereas the Yoruba, the Igbo and other ethnic groups in the South, to a very appreciable extent, knew that unity entails a coming together based on a cordial, consensual agreement by all the units concerned, in an environment where socio-cultural and ethno-religious diversity must be allowed to exist side by side, sadly, the Islamist North sees unity as a compulsory sameness in religion, language and culture, without any differences whatsoever.

Unfortunately, the revolutionist coup plotters never took into consideration the diametrically opposed world views and mind-sets between the feudal Fulani dominated North and the more liberal East and West.

During the planning and preparation stages of the January 15, 1967 coup, the coup plotters realised that they faced serious logistic and manpower issues. They were hard-put to find officers willing and capable of handling such an assignment in the South, especially in the East. The Battalion Commander in Enugu then, Major Ogunewe, an Igbo man, was ‘known to be totally conservative, apolitical and loyal to the Balewa government’. The coup plotters therefore deemed him not suited for the mission at hand. As a result, they never involved him in the planning. They rather opted for ‘revolutionary minded’ Major Chude Sokei as their point-man in Enugu. But as it turned out, Chude Sokei was sent on a course to India. He left for India before the ex*****on of the coup, and they could not find any other suitable military officer to fill the gap.

Getting army officers from the military formations based in the West, to buy into their revolutionary ideas, proved a virtually impossible task. The two officers they thought were approachable, a major and a captain, rejected the idea. The Major even threatened to alert the Battalion Commander at Ibadan, Lieutenant Colonel Largema, of their plans. They could not make any head-way in the West. The situation in the South, was indeed, a sharp contrast to what it was in the North.

The 15th JAN 1966 COUP: Who Led It?
..According to Max Siollum in ‘The Five Majors: Myth and Reality’, Nzeogwu referred to the fact that:
‘...the northern soldiers accompanying him had the chance to drop out. More than that, they had bullets. They had been issued with bullets but I was unarmed. If they disagreed, they could have shot me...most of the Other Ranks were Northerners but they followed’.
John Atom Kpera was one of the notable northern army officers who played prominent roles in the prosecution of the January 15, 1966, coup.

It should be noted that in the military coup/revolution of January 15, 1966, twelve persons in all were killed. Eight army officers of all the four regions of the federation then – Northern, Eastern, western And Mid-Western regions, and the Prime Minister (North), the Premier of Northern Nigeria, the Premier of Western Nigeria and te Federal Minister of Finance (Mid-West).
It is equally noteworthy that Oyewose and Ademoyega had separately averred that Ifeajuna, Nzeogwu and Ademoyega, after a critical assessment of the unfolding political situation in the country then, agreed that the only solution to the many problems threatening to consume the Country, was a military intervention.

According to Major Adewale Ademoyega and his co-coup plotters of the 15th January, 1966 coup, their aim was to overthrow the Federal Government and the Regional governments then, free Chief Obafemi Awolowo from prison and enthrone him as the Prime Min- ister.

As stated by Ifeajuna, one of the three that conceived the January 15, 1966 coup, they, the three main coup plotters, saw Awolowo as the political leader that all progressives looked up to. They therefore reserved the post of Executive President or Prime Minister for him. Their intention was to fly him into Lagos before mid-day on the ‘D-Day’. And should Awolowo refuse the offer, he would be detained and decrees released in his name.

The way and manner the coup plotters had planned to achieve their purpose of releasing Awolowo from Calabar prison and bring him to Lagos, was that Udeaja of the Nigeria Air Force, whose consent had been secured, would fly a particular plane arranged for that specific assignment, to Calabar, in the morning of 15th January, to bring about Awolowo’s release and convey him to Lagos on the same plane.

If the coup was intended to oust three Igbo persons serving as Ministers in the Federal Ministries of Foreign affairs, Transport and Aviation, as well as Education; if the coup sacked two Regional Premiers of Igbo stock out of the four regions of the federation; if the coup unceremoniously removed the then President of the Senate as well as the President (though ceremonial) of Nigeria, who both were Igbo persons; if the coup terminated the excelling government of Eastern Nigeria under MI Okpara, which posted the fastest growing economy in the world, as assessed by the World Bank and the Harvard University, the coup was rather an anti-Igbo coup in its projected outcome. Obviously, that coup by all intents and purposes was not a pro-Igbo coup. It will therefore not be wrong to question the wisdom in the participation of Igbo officers
in the January, 15, 1966 coup.

The January 15, 1966 military coup was mischievously branded an Igbo coup for the purposes of ‘giving the dog a bad name in order to slaughter it’. A major aspect in the chronicles of the January 15, 1966 military coup which has purposely been overlooked by those who are fixated on branding it an Igbo putsch, as well as those who report the incidences of that fateful day from the perspective of the Nigerian authorities, is the well-known fact that Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Unegbe, an Igbo military officer who was the Quarter Master General of the Nigerian army, was also killed by the coup plotters.

The three lead actors in the January 15, 1966 military coup, Ademoyega, Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna, had variously stated that the coup was executed for the purposes of saving Nigeria from the grip of nepotism, corruption and bad governance.

The Fulani Northern Oligarchy, masterminded and fomented that terrible social unrest in Western Nigeria. They also plotted to ruthlessly deal with the West, having concluded arrangements to use their soon to be enthroned head of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier Maimalari, who they had charged with the responsibility of coming up with an evil scheme for the total suppression of the West.

Major Adewale Ademoyega, who coordinated the planning and ex*****on of the 15th January, 1966 military coup, also revealed in his book ‘Why We Struck’, the ‘terrible plan’ Balewa had hatched
for Western Nigeria. He asserted that it took them a lot of ‘digging and sniffing’ to unearth the heinous plot the Balewa Government had hatched for the West, in which they had concluded plans to use the Army to get rid of the Western elites backing the opposition against Akintola. This evil design was to be replicated in the East if it succeeded in the West.

Chapter11, The STENCH of UNITY by Chike Nwaka
THE 15th JAN 1966 COUP: WHO LED IT?
Fraudulent Unity
Many honest observers of Nigeria’s political scene since independence, were not surprised when a group of officers and men of the Nigeria Army, of virtually all the ethnic nationalities of Nigeria, driven by patriotism, rose up against the gross abuses flagrantly committed by agents of government. They tried to topple the governments at the centre and regions. But their efforts were scuttled mainly by soldiers led by Ojukwu in the North and Ironsi in the South, who were not part of the coup.

The federal parliamentarians in apprehension of the events then, ceded power to the military under the leadership of Major General Aguiyi Ironsi.

The military coup of 15th January 1966 has been mischievously branded an Igbo coup by different persons and groups. However, the book, ‘Why We Struck’, by Adewale Ademoyega, one of the three Majors who conceived and led the coup, lays to rest, the misguided notion that the coup was an Igbo affair.

Major ADEMOYEGA, that brilliant British groomed, History graduate of University of London, from his submissions, WAS INDEED THE SOUL, and THE COORDINATOR of the coup. He shuttled between the North and South, liaising between his co-plotters. According to him, the nucleus of the revolutionary group consisted of a troika—Majors Ademoyega, Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna. He stated the following:

‘...these meetings were between Ifeajuna and me on the one hand, and between Nzeogwu and me on the other. This pattern remained almost the same throughout...’

Ademoyega also affirmed that he had, many times, journeyed to
meet with Nzeogwu in the North. During one of such visits, both of them, together, carried out a reconnaissance of those locations they intended to seize during the operation.

In December that same year, Ademoyega visited Nzeogwu in Kaduna, during which Nzeogwu requested him to convince Ifeajuna to arrange the type of Internal Security exercise in Lagos, similar to the one they had in Kaduna.

However, such a rehearsal could not hold in Lagos because while Ifeajuna was attempting to arrange it, he was warned to desist from such, by his Brigade Commander, Brigadier Maimalari.

The three were very discrete in making contacts and recruiting willing participants in the coup, bearing in mind that a coup is not a normal military operation. Surreptitiously, they established contacts with their targets, carefully couching their words in such a way that it will not be easy to pinpoint what they were trying to convey, except the officer showed genuine interest.

Only mischief makers and/or the ill-informed would dare suggest that the bloody crisis which Nigeria was embroiled in from1966 to 1967 and the Nigeria- Biafra war which ensued, stemmed from the January 15, 1966 military coup/revolution.

The propaganda which spewed forth from Nigeria was aimed at misleading the rest of the world into seeing the heinous crimes committed by Nigeria against Biafra and her people, as an impulsive response to the ‘killings’ falsely alleged to have been perpetrated by ‘all Igbo’ against the rest Nigerians during the January 15, 1966, military coup.

The Nigeria/Biafra war narrative has been badly altered by the Nigerian victors. Outright lies were implanted to replace glaring and verifiable facts. The Nigerian aggressors made us, the victims, look like we were the villains. Nigeria has made serious, desperate attempts at concealing the truth about the unprovoked wanton massacre of the Igbo in Jos and Kano in 1945 and 1953
respectively, the events and undercurrents that led to the 1966 military coup, the military coup itself and the comprehensive list of army officers who were actively involved in it, how the January 15, 1966 military coup was foiled and the two senior officers who led the counter offensives, which neutralized that coup.

There were seven Igbo officers and twenty-five officers from other ethnic groups in the North and West who participated in that coup. Most of the non-commissioned officers who participated in the coup were Northerners. Incontrovertible documented evidence and pronouncements abound, which indicate that the January 15, 1966 military coup was never an Igbo coup.

Odia Ofeimum, a long-serving former secretary to Awolowo, in an interview he granted the Guardian Newspapers on the 20th anniversary commemoration of Awolowo’s death, stated as follows:

‘People were told that it was an Igbo coup but that is not correct. It is a very interesting part of the Nigerian story. In the first place, there have been many serious lies that have been told by our leaders in the last 45 years of Nigeria’s history. Our leaders have not been bold enough to tell us the truth...’

Oyewose, on his own, asserts that the Northern Oligarchy had earlier planned to use the Army headed by Brigadier Maimalari, to castrate the Yoruba. He put it this way:
‘...the Army under Brigadier Maimalari had been authorized to draw a plan for the complete subjugation of the West, starting from January 17, 1966.’ Oyewose (1992:21).
Continuing, he said:
‘It was most probably to minimise the shedding of blood that a fraction of the Nigerian Army struck on January 15, 1966.’

Wole Soyinka, in his book, The Man Died, said of the January 15 1966 coup:
‘The Army’s intervention was accepted gratefully because it
anticipated the other army intervention planned by the Mafia feudalist alliance to take place two days later...I had a warning of the scorched-earth programme for the West, a clean sweep of ‘dissident intellectuals’ and trade unionists and even a few judges that had failed to toe the political line.’

To Wole Soyinka, the 15th January, 1966 military coup was not unexpected. He knew that Akintola and Ahmadu Bello had just met and come up with an evil plot approved by Balewa. Although he must have been happy that the military coup aborted the evil plot against the West, he nevertheless did not seem to like the shedding of blood in it.

ALHAJI & the 36 AMAJIRI
The Forbidden Path

It is unthinkable that just a handful of persons, undeservedly privileged, to the gross disadvantage of the rest of society, could enjoy sound sleep in the comfort of their homes of stinking opulence, knowing that the so many who they have direly impoverished, roam the streets as waifs and strays. Yet, this is a norm prevalent in the predominantly Muslim Upper North of Nigeria.
These few, who become outrageously rich through corruption, greed and graft—by mal-appropriating what rightly belongs to all, into their exclusive private teals, make the fulfilment of the religious injunction of being charitable to the poor, a point of duty. Therefore, they let these wretched of the earth—urchins which they have deliberately cultured, always gather by their homesteads to receive regular food rations.
Sadly, the stupendously rich handful, purposely create poverty among the majority. They ensure that the conditions for the festering of abject poverty remain perpetually with them, so, they will always readily have the poor multitude on whom to display their disgusting charity. This amounts to merely honouring a religious injunction in the breach. What a way to observe a religious tenet!
And so, those dregs of society, conditioned through ignorantly interpreted religious teachings and indoctrination, to see their miserable station in life 'as divinely-decreed', cling to such a dehumanizing belief in their hearts and minds, by which they are condemned to live out the rest of their pathetic lives in unmitigated misery.
Huddled in the open. Left at the mercy of the harsh, mindless weather. They cower and grovel at the feet of their ‘rich benefactor’ Alhaji patrons, who they hail constantly with shouts of ‘ranka dede’,
as they struggle to attract the repulsive ‘charitable’ favour of those ‘baba mutum’—big men, of pretentious humility.
In May 1967, Gowon dismantled the four semi-autonomous Regions of Nigeria, and carved out twelve titular States from them. In 1969 also, under the nominal headship of Gowon and the Feudal Muslim North, Awolowo as the formulator and pilot of Nigeria’s economic policies, saw to the removal of the rights of ownership and control of crude oil and other mineral resources from the rightful owners—the federating units, and vest them exclusively under the control of the Central Government.
Ever since then, the warped system of government being practiced, which aptly should be called ‘ALMAJIRIISM’, has only continued to produce rulers who are only good at ruining the country. This prevailing socioeconomic model is glaringly fashioned after the Almajiri scheme of the Muslim Upper Northern Nigeria.
By the way, the Almajiri scheme is a system whereby many children mostly of questionable parentage are placed under the tutelage of a mallam—an Islamic ‘teacher’, who sends the children (pupils) out daily to roam the streets with bowls, as beggars. They must surrender all they realize for the day to the mallam who grudgingly gives a tittle to each, as it pleases him.
‘Almajiriism’ is a badly flawed governance design in which all supposed federating states perform the monthly ritual of lining up cap in hand—hapless, cringing beggars, at the doorsteps of a self- righteous, bigoted ‘filthy-lucre-wealthy Alhaji’ Central Government, that has brazenly misappropriated the people’s commonwealth into his private ‘baban-riga’ bottomless pockets, from where he condescendingly fingers out wretched monthly stipends to them.
An inherently corrupt system, ‘Almajiriism’, is designed to dispossess the people, of that which naturally and rightfully belongs to them, only to disproportionately share it out using a dubious, flawed distribution formula created specifically to benefit some favoured sections against those whose livelihood and environments are being destroyed in the process of exploiting their revenue spinning resources. It is copied from the Fulani Muslim North’s traditional practice whereby a privileged affluent few would deliberately create poverty among the masses by diverting all the wealth accruing to the society for their private purposes. Then, they would resentfully daily hand out some miserable pittance as sustenance stipends to a handful of the many deprived.
‘Almajiriism’, the prevailing political/social system of the present Nigeria, breeds and promotes nepotistic resistance to fairness. It enthrones inequity, inequality and falsehood. It is a system that extols corruption, promotes mediocrity, wealth-without-work, and rejoices in envy, murderousness, religious and ethnic terrorism.

Vile Verses of THE TERRORIST TESTAMENT (Continuation)
(Culled from THE STENCH of UNITY by Chike Nwaka)

Mallam Baba Garuba...arrogantly expatiated on the earlier inflammatory declarations of Ahmadu Bello, as reported in the October 12, 1960, Parrot Magazine, and Daily Times of May 3, 1961, thus:

“The conquest to the sea is now in sight. When our god-sent Ahmadu Bello said some years ago that our conquest will reach the seashores of Nigeria, some idiots in the South were doubting its possibilities. Today have we not reached the sea? Lagos is reached. It remains Port Harcourt. It must be conquered and taken after December 30, 1964.
“I remember when the NCNC and the AG were boasting about their daydreams of snatching power from us. Today their great brains are in our bag. Imagine such personalities as Akintola, Benson, Davies, Akinjide and others.
“I still hope that it will not be long when Okpara, Adegbenro and Aminu Kano will come to beg. Osadebe and other Midwest leaders are halfway to us. As for Awo, he will spend the last day of his imprisonment there for his inordinate ambition. Some Southern fools must understand that to suggest secession after their defeat is su***de for them. Let them think about all these things and understand the implications in secession.
(a) Where is the Nigerian Military Academy?
(b) Where is the Nigerian Air Force base built?
All these are up here in our region. After the election, we will call upon our leaders to make a Northerner the leader of the Nigerian Army. Those who propose Ironsi are daydreaming. After the next five years those Southern so-called educated fools must realize where they are. Once we will be able to connect the Bornu Railway with those of our brothers in the neighbouring country and from there to Egypt, we can allow secession to take place.
“Our exports could be sent out through that way. Thanks to Allah that the Kainji Dam will soon be completed. It is up to Tarka to come back now or face what will follow when we achieve our aim.
“We must do anything possible to win the coming Jihad. But we must keep our weather eyes open on those from the West, as they could do anything at any time. Immediately we win, we can lose some members from the West at any time. We must not take things for granted.
“With our 167 seats in the North, we can go it alone. There is no need sharing the post of Prime Minister and President with any- one. I have a genuine fear that we keep the posts and then concede some important ministries to some Yoruba members.
“The time has come. We are going to show these intellectual fools that we are only in the morning of our leadership of this country. We try NNDP in the next five years and see whether they will be too forward and ambitious as the ungrateful NCNC and AG. If some still doubt that we haven’t conquered our way to the sea, let them go through these facts:
Who is the Prime Minister of the country?
Who is the Minister of Lagos Affairs? Is Lagos not our capital?
“Our only obstacle are the Ibos. They have played their card.
They will sink.”

This ‘Terrorist Testament’ of Malam Baba Garuba explicitly spells out the Fulani action plot for the total domination of the indigenous peoples of Nigeria. It is a major indicator—a vital pointer which the South should never have ignored!
