Revolutionary Ademoyega’s Departure, Ends an Era  

At the end of Second World War [WWII] in 1945, numerous establishments including European industrialism came crumbling almost completely destroyed. The war torn Europe and Japan now had to look outside its shores for assistance in order to rebuild its economy and military-industrial complexes. In Great Britain , its military and economic industrial highways have virtually depleted from extra-territorial hostilities. Its industrialism was destroyed to a point that it could no longer maintain its foreign control over its vassal-states militarily and otherwise. Britain went from economic- expansionism—to economic-military imperialism. It finally over-stretched its elasticity thus its collapse became inevitable. The implication is that British quasi-collapse faced quadrupled challenges at home and extra-territorially. As if the challenges and difficulties it faced home weren’t enough, its vassal-states sensed its vulnerability from WWII conflicts, these colonies exploited her weakness and launched into massive uprising internally and externally to liberate itself from criminal beholden of Britain found in excruciating tariffs, tributes and taxes for example. Throughout 1600s to 1900s, these vassal-estates were used heavily to sustaining British economic-exploitations and continued to be used today under neo-colonialism. Recuperating from WWII tolls, Britain in particular became indebted and needed Reconstruction Grants Initiatives from Washington-based financial institutions. These financiers and financial institution[s] affiliated to Breton-Woods later became the Bank [World Bank]. The reconstruction Era became the life-wire and hope of Western Europe and Japan for rebuilding. In Asia , and other parts of the world, things were precarious and rapidly changing; the wind of revolutionary match toward freedom had begun to blow across these plates. India under Mahatma Gandhi and associates had chosen strategically the historic Salt-Match as its launching-pad that hit hard the relevance of British economy then. Under the currency of liberation movements, India swiftly demanded for its independent from Britain . By 1949 India was free from British socio-political-economic dominance and began a constitutional democracy.  

In Congo , Patrick Lumumba and his comrades launched into revolution to free her from Belgian occupation. They defeated their enemy and its European allies and Lumumba became the first indigenous elected President of Congo. In Ghana , Nkrumah and associates championed a cause for freedom and led Ghana into its independent in 1957 laced with Pan-Africanism orthodoxies. But due to blistering corruption, its true-revolution came under J.J. Rawlings in the 80s. Today Ghana revolution primordial launched the young republic into new-nationalism. One can therefore conclude that today, Ghana is calm—there is law and order; nations-states flocks to her shores to discuss global market economy and other international technical and bilateral-exchanges that benefits her citizenry at least for now. In Cuba , Fidel Castro led a swift revolution that took down Washington backed Batista capitalist regime. The island remains stable and free from corruption under communist Cuba; it has maintained its freedom regardless of the collapse of the former USSR its strongest ally up-till the 90s; the Castro led nationalism today enjoys stability and proud itself with best trained medical practitioners; Havana literacy barometer best world records including entities found in most industrialized European countries.  Again, as British imperialism could no longer stand by its feet, grave-recession had set in, engineered by these hostilities made her economic and political stability impossible. On the horizon, there were new emerging naval-powers in international territorial-waters—her naval supremacy faced new competitors like United States , Japan and Germany , etc.  Practically, managing vassal states which, it fraudulently brought under its control signaled collapse irreversibility unless it let go.  

The country called Nigeria was no latecomer to these changing times and developments as world indicators show that there was no room for British recoil, redeployment and spoil. By 1960, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Mbonu Ojike, Aminu Kano and many others joined the political-revolution. These personalities zeroed-in on manifesto destiny to confront British colonialism. Not long after 1960’s purported Independence , the land became besieged by widespread corruption a record high under the leadership of Tafawa Belewa—then Prime Minister. A new-revolution was emerged, a revolution driven by nationalism and idealism. Major C.K. Nzeogwu, Major A. Ademoyega and others of Corps De-Spirit made their intentions known in 1966. According to insiders’ reports, the corruption was so rift in the land that there were competing revolutionary-planners gearing-up toward new-leadership-change in other to restore and bring about a new order. The movement was successful half-way—but was betrayed by cowards and traitors whose loyalty changed hands uncharacteristically and severally. These scurrilous changes of allegiances provoked suspicions that led to the mis-conceptualization of the revolution—and goes as-far-as painting the movement as Igbo-Nationalism by its detractors.

Ademoyega refuted these allegations even up till his passing-away last month February 2007 at the age of 74; his documentaries and other publications affirmatively supports 60s movement based on idealism and patriotism. According to some commentaries, the man Ademoyega stated however the obvious, “Ademoyega had in an interview described the 1966 coup as nationalistic one motivated by idealism and a desire to tackle corruption and end the anarchy and mindless violence that was raging then.”  Anthropologists, historians, scholars and political analysts must realize that last month historical passage of Major Adewale Ademoyega, one of the 1966 revolutionaries must not be trivialized by any means for history will absolve them for taking initiative to cleanse the land. It is note-worthy that their days were made of men of respectable belief-system strong values, ethics, and nationalistic idealism; they were rare spirits for their time that ever walked planet earth. Appreciating their relevance is of historical jives that will allow new thinkers to rummage deeper in other to de-classify hidden communications of 1966 Era. Initiating this for posterity is not too much to ask for. Fresh re-examination of some of the dysfunctional governmental archives and gazettes scattered across the land will expose some erroneous proclamations and cover-ups, thusly enriching our minds.

It will allow truth to reign supreme for truth is self-evident. It by application, dislodge institutional discredited reports and bring to a closure past mischaracterizations and mis-identifications and present-to-fore the relevance of these comrades. Some of us are for or against their roles during the actions but their idealistic and nationalistic revolutionary spirits remains undisputed. In whatever side of the argument you find yourself, it is critical to take into cognizance the suffocating corrosive corruption then and the suffocating toxic-corruption today. Historical re-examine these events, its fallouts will assist us make adjustments for our children; this is something they will forever show gratitude for. Failure is not an option, if we fail to take stocks of lessons learned at these institutional theaters, we will historically be damned to repeat it—says George Santayana. In other to strategically deploy forward-looking-strategy, it is imperative and appropriate to make assessment of lessons learned during those heady periods and comparatively weigh their merits and demerits under the current trend of circumstances; doing so, examining consequences, do the costs and effects analysis, examine the challenges and difficulties that we face today will save millions from harms way tomorrow.  

Conversely, at issue is revisiting records presented as far as 1966 revolution goes, accepting the construct that it was driven by—Igbo-Nationalism is debatable. However, the thought provoking question remains, if revolutionary blemishes were squarely—Igbo-nationalism which its fallout[s] triggered the pogrom then, but what have engineered the butchering of folks of Igbo-extraction from 1966 through 2007? Can someone explain to this audience the reason why citizens of Igbo-stock and those that resembles them get butchered at every slightest national and international religious crisis, etc? Why have Oligarchic-leadership failed to repudiate these genocidal acts against Igbo-nation? If it was Igbo-revolution, what galvanized the argumentations of Ademoyega that countered these discourses that places them on false-chart-sheet[s]? May his camaraderie and nationalistic-revolutionary spirit live-forever; as he lived, he distanced himself from reactionary remarks and identified the revolution to have been driven by nationalism to quell a chaotic, lawlessness that ravaged the times at a bewildering magnitude? As far as fairness is concerned, why would comical cartoon published in far away Denmark of Mohammed striped with detonations down his waist become catalyst for satanic-expressions against citizens of Igbo-extraction and those that look like them? If there is no infer-faces, there is definitely unconstitutional cliffhangers that have hanged on with this entity since is creation that threatens her corporate existence; it is equally note worthy that the conceptualization of the movement into Igbo-revolution is discredited, defeated as the aforementioned argumentations has no merits whatsoever but a conspiracy theory advanced by its detractors to disparage honorable men who meant well for our time—it is part of enemies character assassination-machines to diminish the ideals of nationalism and existentialism against institutional-evils of feudalism and cronyism.   

The personalities involved during the movement records have it that, there were no disputations about the needed change in the 60s. It was a governmental comparative praxis with history and mankind vis-à-vis the crumbling British imperialism at the time at the turn of 19^th century was dying-out. The foregoing data commenced a bewildering sweep across the landscape that unfortunately snuffed many lives away. Optimistically though, had the revolution succeeded, there would have been alterations of many things to usher in people-based-nationalism centered on good practices agendas. There is no doubt the pitfalls were, but the outcome would have been different today. Ademoyega and his comrades have played their part and moved on; but it became the turning-point and marked the beginning of a rapid ethical-attempt to rid the land of a corrosive corruption then. Imagine what they would have done today if they were still around. As fate will have it, the human hope was interrupted by satanic-verses, other grandstanding operators were factored into every abnormality that goes beyond academic scholarships,  and humane-conversation time and space but implicates traditional establishments, religion and ethics—destiny. The legacy we bequeath this generation will come back to hurt our conscience if we fail today. The time is now to right the wrongs of generational lapses and satanic-legacies in other to replace them with liberating constitutional legacies of law and order. In 2007, where do you stand on these national and regional matters?   

May I state here that treachery and cowardice will always remain the greatest enemy to a successful resistance if we were to present a water-tight compartment, an order to usher in a-true-nationalism; but these treacheries are assiduously-rampant especially when locals handover their economic management to foreigners. As long as our economic security remains in the hands of Chinese, Europeans and Americans then we are finished as a people. Our economic security is in the hand of these entities today because this dysfunctional administration and those before them refused to control government spending and have irresponsibly negotiated trade deals around the world. Every geopolitical-bloc nationally, at the state level and local government level have betrayed and sabotaged our economic security. Nevertheless, these antithetical behaviors—in the hands of these reactionaries can never dismantled an idea which time is come. As the republic languish in bogus-nationalism with amassed uncertainties many revolutionaries inside and outside our shores will remember Major Ademoyega and his fellow compatriots. They will be remembered for their incorruptible character while they lived and died for their friends, fans and families. They were the cream of creams that visited our beleaguered polity; their generation never amassed public funds for self-aggrandizements. They were rather protectionists of public coffers to a point of sacrificing their lives for it. They were pure men who never compromised their integrity and honor in discharging their stately duties. Can that be said of material driven corrupt politicians that has plundered the land dry, corrupt politicians whose ill-practices now distress—and threaten the singularity of the Union.

What-else can I say than to say praise is the man or woman who commune with Jehovah.

Since the botched revolution ended, the nation has gravitated toward untold hardships, mental-bankruptcy and narcissism. Inept and incompetence could be said to be at statistical 99% of all national and local bureaucratic institutions found in what is today called Nigeria .

Yet this interruption is responsible to one of the greatest misguided bureaucratic-axis, satanic-verses of monumental graft and recklessness—a recklessness and lawlessness of unrecognizable state of stone age-Era—they now call modernism. It is altruism that no sustainable development can socially, economically and politically occur without a movement; and revolution has the strongest caveat to re-shape and galvanize a-new-organizational leadership, new nationalism, and order, in other for this generation to safeguard a-safety-net against uncertainties tomorrow. We strongly argue that the collapsed of constitutional- democracy or the lack of it thereof, has plunged bureaucratic principles as political criminals litter and walk the street freely and undaunted. State organized crimes and other societal vices is at all time high, this can be brought to a halt through aforementioned aggressive ideological driven mechanisms found in—revolution. This idealism is what Japan , United States , France , Germany , China , Cuba , Ghana , etc, did to restore nationalism in their territories.

Furthermore, it must be mentioned that ideological driven actors of 1966 were heading toward quasi-socialism and/or quasi-capitalism in 1966. Their ideological dream for common good was overtaken by events as their true-mission and vision were interrupted. We will never forget great compatriots like: Ademoyega, Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, Okafor, Oji, etc, whose actions and ideological positioning were geared toward bettering our frontiers. These men were strong believers of One-Nigerianism to a scary-point that even during the civil war they were still planning to restore the nation-state as indivisible. This was manifested in certain reports that claimed that Nzeogwu, Banjo, Ademoyega, Ifeanjuna and others fought on Biafran-side after their release from jail-houses—nevertheless, their manifesto-destiny plan-scripts was to overthrown Biafran government in the 1968 or thereabout.

From reliable sources, communication exchanges between Nzeogwu and Nigerians troops were intercepted by Biafran Secret Intelligent Services—SS-56 that serviced the Biafran Central Government at Enugu were filled with early warning information to Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu. Additional report shows that Nzeogwu and his 1966 group were most feared by Biafran Authorities. It was latter reported that Nzeogwu was short from behind during the war and not by enemy’s fire during the hostilities. Anthropological and political scientists can assist with rejoinders to further report full-details by retrieving additional-information and stories from that are still alive today for records. Their brand of nationalism, its tendencies speaks volumes. In parallel—the lack of character, honor, professionalism, and ethics within the military and civilian circles today is very disturbing. Majority of these men were pioneers and were celebrated across the country then particularly in the North. Nzeogwu, Ademoyega and other unsung heroes definitely qualifies for such admirable national fame if it exists. No doubt, mistakes were made by the planners. As young military officers they lacked the wherewithal to draw from and relied heavily on will power, ethics and morality which great but not enough. The revolution could have been executed in rapid-phases for it to succeed. If the Phase I collapse there ought to be reinforcement by 2^nd, 3^rd and even 4^th phases, etc. Under phased Rapid Reactionary Forces [RRF], Azikiwe, Opara and others would not have escaped, the targeted goals and mission would have been mission accomplished. It is unfortunately that the revolution collapsed mid-steam.

If revolutionary-minded men are absent in the land, it is almost an impossibility to address the current incapacitated state today that have ravaged the land. In short, one will admit, that it will be a long short—even a mission impossible in the next couple of months or years if the union continue in the part of  defeatism and irreconcilable precipice. 1966 archives are informational, educational, and nothing satanically-confrontational; it teaches us that there is light at the end of the tunnel;  that a new nationalism or regionalisms is possible and will be based on commitment backed with technical wherewithal capacities. Technically no revolution goes without blood—therefore many will have to go the way of our fathers to facilitate and allow another era to emerge. Its velocity will galvanize the citizenry to greater freedom and liberty to choose their leaders, a responsible leadership that is accountable to the people, free from external and internal interventionism[s]. By application, if those who consider themselves as Nigerians are not prepared to make sacrifices they should shut up and let Nigerian be. What are we for if we cannot make sacrifices as required in nation-building found in federalism or regionalism? Great events are synonymous to great names.

Adewale Ademoyega was one of those glorious household names, alongside Nzeogwu, Okafor, Ifeajuna, Ogbo Oji, etc. As we monitor developments, as uncertainty sets-in we certainly remember those who paid supreme sacrifices for our survivals. Their names shall remain indelible in the annals our minds and history as-long-as nationalism and patriotism is the topic plausible. We remember vividly the tribal-genocidal criminalities of the North in their quest for dominance and opportunism, etc. 1966 had men of bravery, whose organizational characteristics were those of probity, character, and love for country. They starred, were brilliant and studded in pursuit of greater heights. One hoped that they really understood that true-federalism allows room for self-determination where applicable; comprehending the tenets of constitutional democracy with military participation or no military coded with regionalism as a component of federalism is intelligent otherwise it will not work. They knew that no nation can develop efficiently and industrially without improving its varying national production-capacities in their differential developmental proficiencies found in regionalism. Diversification is an invaluable access not just petro-based-industrialism, etc.

They had nationalistic synergy that would have propelled sustainable development[s] toward constitutional laws derived from public-policies without compromising mission statements. Horrendous charlatans with their mischief-makers have disparaged these great men in their effort to build a virile economy based on diversified industrialism. Our consolation today lies in the upcoming struggle that is about to unleash itself from 2007 electioneering deadlocks, its legal and illegal fallouts with other challenges will pave-way to regionalism. As Sultan of Sokoto will attempt to exert its authority based on Arab-Nationalism roundabout its sphere of influence crisis will crop in other areas. Arab-Nationalism can only stand by itself and will not tolerate any religion outside itself. Period. Let there be no confusion, the new mission statement will not tolerate traitors posturing with the foreign-gate-keepers, plunderers as they will be jettisoned on the wrong side of history. Ademoyega will be absolved by history—we were reliably informed that he was survived by three [3] children including a set of twins. He braved illness and later succumbed to the will of Almighty Providence at his Lagos country-home, Lagos . He was happy and content with what he had and never encroached into other man’s property. Can one honestly speak of ethics and professionalism of today’s corrupt politicians in the military-circles and their civilian-counter-parts inside its institutional establishments? Indeed politicians’ irresponsible conducts today is the height of sacrilege to the institutions they serve; they are largely detached from the citizenry at unimaginable proportional. Putting it straight, I see no reason why one corrosive-corrupt -politician is more important than the other corrosive-corrupt-politician. 

As the departure of Ademoyega ends an era, men and women whose organizational leadership[s], idealism, ethics, professionalism and patriotism are intact must rise up to a patriotic call to cleanse the land. It is the duty of nationalistic citizenry to close the gaps and challenges his departure has created and not submit to defeatists-fiefdom. Ademoyega was uncompromising till death. Their Era was guided by institutional protectionism and isolationism of national treasuries from foreign-imperialism and from their local gate-keepers for the common-good and love of country.

HOPEFULLY by now, a lot of us Nigerians must have learnt our lessons: that under NO circumstances must any group of people use the force of arms to dismantle a government of the people, by the people and for the people - no matter how corrupt that government may be. I hinge my argument on certain beliefs. One, the legitimacy of a democratic government far exceeds that of one that is created by the force of arms. As a matter of fact, a government formed by a group of people who force their will on others, no matter how sacred their cause may be, simply has no legitimacy. No man should force his will on others. Secondly, that great teacher called posterity has shown us all that the complete interruption of people-ordained governments throught the force of arms by people who felt differently about the direction of those governments has brought us no positive results - ever since the first interruption occured in 1966. Rather than interrupt governments by force, patriots have the alternative of either 1>. Alligning themselves with like-minded patriots to infilterate the government of the day through democratic elections..OR 2>. Embarking on peaceful civil disobedience to force or compel the government of the day to acquiesce to popular demands for the rule of law and sanity in management of their affairs. It all boils down to the fact that NO ONE MAN has the right to lord over another man without the consent of the latter - period. No matter how bad a democratic government is, it does not give any bloody Nzeogwu, Ironsi, Gowon, Muhammed, Obasanjo, Buhari, Babangida, Abacha or even a seemingly quiet Abdulsalami..the right to force his will on the rest of his compatriots - NO! If any man feels agrieved about the state of affairs of the governance in his society, let him or her seek redress through the channels available...otherwise, let a popular revolt occur that will grind governance to a halt, such that government will feel compelled or pressured enough to listen to popular demands. When one man or a group of people sieze power in the land because they are disatisfied with governance at any particular time, it means the next man also has the right to do the same - simply because he and a few of his buddies feel disatisfied with the government of the day. Now, that will be simply absurd. And there lies the problem with coups d'etats. Complete interruption or siezure of power - especially democratic power - can never be justified. Had Tafawa Balewa's government and others after it been left to make their mistakes and limp along, or allowed to fall and pick themselves up, we would have been better off for it after all these years. Coups are mostly about the bloody egos and effrontery of its perpetrators; the next coup plotter isn't any better than the last despot that ruled before him. Auspicious.

May the children of a dieing nation pause to salute the exemplary courage and gallantry of this "five Majors" who sacrificed their young lives to resceu a young nation from the filthy hands of corrupt and inept politicians...Rulers who left Nigeria with a legacy of corruption , nepotism and misgovernance...Since the exit of those gallant men , this country has been gropping in the dark , begging ,yelling for a saviour with none in sight for over 40 years...Look at it objectively, the five majors are nothing but NATIONAL HEROES who exchanged their lives for a better Nigeria ..something most of us cant dare , even in our wildest dreams!

Hi Villagers, cc: Auspy and Felix. I think both of you have spoken well but wrt this learning process by democraticians, when will they finish learning or do they continue failing like Lucky of Edo and being allowed to repeat after every four years. I smell mischief hereooo. There is the cliche that those who make peaceful change impossible make radical change inevitable and I must add that those who make good governance impossible are also akin to the man who brought ant infested faggots into his house thereby indirectly extending invitaiton to the lizards of violent change. I think that there some good coups and bad coups. Nasser in Egypt, Rawlings etc all did good coups but wrt 66, the jury is still out given what we all know today. But for the imbalance in the killings all over the regions, I believe that their mission statement was visionary. Countercoup 66 was merely a cold blooded vengeance for which Ironsi was a victim used to teach the Igbos a bitter lesson on how not to touch a Hausa fulani man either in khaki or Agbada. Murtala 76, was aimed at checkmating the vacillating Gowon whose corruption then was a mere childsplay to what we have today and so was a good coup. Dimka 76 was an act of revenge for the displacement of middle belt officers and was a bad coup. Buhari 83/84 was a good coup because Shagari's moonslide was exactly what our father is attempting to repeat again in 07 but I do not know if there will be another buharism in 07 seeing that he is contesting elections too. Babangida 85 is a bad coup because the evil genius had his idisosyncracies to feather and no plans for the nation in his agenda. Abacha place coup of 94 was a bad one but power does not abhor vaccum and he took the opportunity. Abdulsalami 97 was an act of providence and was neither good nor bad. I do not want to talk about failed ones like Orkar, Vatsa, Diya etc because they were all abortive. You see the goodness or badness of a coup depends on its success, since you impose your will on all of us after you succeed. It is one business where failure.....:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Caveat: Pls correct me wrt the dates seeing that we have no valid history.

And now for an alternative view of the '66 gang...... I think it’s time we dropped this historical distortion and identify the 66 plotters for what they really were, and that is tribalistic Igbo nationalists parading as revolutionary nationalists. Anybody can hide under the flag of a revolutionalary but their actions speak a lot louder than their words. Let’s just take a brief look at the causality figures from this ‘National’ attempted revolution (obtained from http://www.waado.org/NigerDelta/Nigeria_Facts/MilitaryRule/Omoigui/1966Coup-Part1.html) b. Chief F. S. Okotie-Eboh, Finance Minister of the Federation. c. Brigadier Z. Mai-Malari, Commander of the 2nd Brigade NA d. Colonel K. Mohammed, Chief of Staff Nigerian Army e. Lieut-Colonel A. C. Unegbe, Quartermaster General. f. Lieut-Colonel J.T. Pam, Adjutant General, Nigerian Army g. Lieut-Colonel A. Largema, Commanding Officer 4th Battalion Ibadan AT IBADAN h. S. L. Akintola, Premier of Western Nigeria AT KADUNA i. Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sarduana of Sokoto and Premier of Northern Nigeria j. Brigadier S. Ademulegun, Commander of the 1st Brigade NA k. Colonel R. A. Shodeinde, Deputy Commandant, Nigerian Defence Academy l. Ahmed Dan Musa, Senior Assistant Secretary (Security) to the North Regional Government m. Sergeant Duromola Oyegoke of the Nigerian Army n. The senior wife of Sir Ahmadu Bello o. The wife of Brigadier Ademulegun Any fair observer of this list will be struck by the glaring absence of any of the Igbo ruling elite. Where the Igbo elite like Michael Opara, Zik, and Osadebe not also part of the ‘ruling class’ how come they were spared from the revolutionary cull? The only logical answer is that the plotters real aim was to wipe out the leadership of the North and West with the intention of imposing and Igbo dominated new order on the country. I am sorry if this conflicts with the grand and noble image that has been built up around the ‘5 majors’ but history is a harsh judge and our actions server as the evidence that informs her judgements. In the case of the ‘5 majors’ the judgement of murderous, traibalistic Individuals seems to be made beyond any doubt.
