The colonial masters ensured merit counts to the letter Only the most brilliant and academically sound goes to Sandhurst Military Academy( SMC) England where they spend about two(2) to earn the Queen's commission as second lieutenants. This was the case with Gowon, Alexander Madiebo, Maimalari, Nwawo, and host of others. Meanwhile, others not deemed academic sound or fit are often sent to Mons Officers Cadet School Aldershot- England and other British military training institutions. Everything was going on well until the born-to-rule feudal powermongers can't stand it anymore hence decided to start forcing the colonial master to introduce the skewed and defective quota system criteria to smuggle those who eventually bastardized the military and ended up do same to Nigeria's politico-military journey. 65 Likes 3 Shares |

GoodMen Arthur Unaegbe a Senior military officer of Igbo extraction stood against the coupists when others fled. He refused access to the armory and was killed because of that. But they will tell you no Igbo man was killed in the coup and that the coup was an Igbo affair... A coup that has actors like lt. Olofimihan, col ademoyega,col banjo, and many more from north,west, east and midwest 41 Likes 3 Shares |
