They say the truth can never be secret forever, no matter how long you try to hide it. GIDEON ORKAR' legacy lives on why ? Because no matter how drug inspired his coup speech might have sounded, he had a clear vision of what many of us foresaw; that is, the entity called Nigeria was living on borrowed time.

It's a pity that the parents of many of the people dying today were the same people who celebrated after the coup was quashed, they wanted Nigeria to remain one indivisible entity. I wonder what they're thinking now as they see children in whom they invested millions in training being killed by people who would have been foreigners to us today.

My consolation as i look to the future is the inevitable breakup of this entity in 3 years time. Believe me when i say this break up is inevitable. Already the signs are showing in every socio economic sphere of our daily lives. How we see things on an ethnic. basis has never been more divergent.

The parting of this country would have been a more painless process back in Orkars era. Now it will have to be done the good old fashioned way. Through the barrels of a Shot gun.
