Those men and probably some others were murdered in cold blood right in their houses in a well-coordinared action of mutinous soldiers in the course of a single night.
May their souls continue to rest
Just ONE night, as they slept peacefully in their houses, some in bed with their wives and children.
The Moslems amongst them were in the month of Ramadan but the idiots couldnt be bothered.
And ALL the killings, EVERY ONE of them were executed by soldiers who were ALL IBO officers of the Nigerian Army.
And the excuse was that they were about to fight TRIBALISM AND CORRUPTION.
Imagine.
You were going to fight TRIBALISM then you selected NON-IBOS, the very cream of the Political and Military Leadership of their Ethnic groups for brutal assassination by ALL-IBO OFFCIERS while sparing your own people who were the chief tribalists.
You were going to fight CORRUPTION then you picked on a man like Tafawa Balewa who lived a very modest life, living on the brinks of poverty whereas you passed in front of the houses of Ozumba Mbadiwe, Nwafor Orizu etc, men who were notoriously corrupt, and you didn’t branch to visit them.
You thought some of your superior Military Offciers were aiding the Politicians in corruption then you picked on a man like Gen. Ademulegun and Gen Maimalari, career Offciers minding their businesses but conveniently forgot that your GOC, HEAD OF ARMY, Gen. Aguiyi-Ironsi was the closest to the politicians and he hobnobbed with them.
And after the whole thing you installed Aguiyi-Ironsi as Head of State while the murderers were conveniently placed under protective custody and receiving their salaries and allowances.
And Aguiyi-Ironsi appointed an Five-man council of Advisers who were ALL IBOS.
And the same Aguiyi-Ironsi dissolved the regions, suspended regional constitution and put in place the iniquitous Decree 34 to harmonize the whole country and bring it under the control of Ibos.
And you just relaxed, so naive and expected no repercussions.
It is the kind of thinking that you still have till today, pouring your population into the lands of other people and scheming to displace them and overtake their social,political and economic lives from within.
And you don’t expect the people to react.
When they react you call them tribalists.
When they stop you from dominating them on their ancestral lands you cry marginalisation.
When they point out these things to you you call them bigots.
Everybody is wrong except you.
The Ghanaians are wrong for repelling your plans to float a Kingdom under their noses. The South-African Zulus were wrong when they revolted against you for destroying the lives of their youths with drugs and prostitution. You expected the Kenyans, Benenise, Liberians, Zimbabweans and everybody else to look on as you ravage their society.
You want the Yoruba people to stay quiet as you silently alter our DEMOGRAPHICS and BLOODLINES through migration of your unruly population and marriage with your women. You want us to look away as you alter our social order and systemically run our people into poverty.
You don’t expect us to talk as your crooked “traders” kpai our people through fake medicines, beverages, alcohol and even our infants aren’t spared as you concoct fake infant formulas for their fragile intestine s. You want us to clap for you as you turn our youths to addicts, prostitutes and cultists.
Why are you people like this????
You think we can all be blind and deaf at the same time????
Some of us can see what you are doing and where you are going. You can only fool some of us, not all and definitely not forever.
When are you guys going to look inwards and know that the greater faults are yours?
When are you going to stop trying to execute this crazy ZIONIST IDEOLOGIES and when are you going to APOLOGIZE for all the wrongs you have done to us?
You won’t accept you are wrong, even for 15th January 1966.
If they ask you now you will mention one Major Wale Ademoyega, an earlier ignorant version of Dele Farotimi.
There can NEVER be true healing and reconciliation when faults are not apportioned, accepted and atoned.
It’s as simple as that.
In any case these things are too far gone and there can’t possibly be hope of a redress. Your people are too deeply obsessed with your agenda and you won’t stop unless you are stopped!
And stop you, we shall!!!!
