@simpliismail@EmekaGift100 Ironsi's actions were not the sole cause of its collapse, though they accelerated northern resentment, leading to his assassination and deeper ethnic divisions that contributed to the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970).
@simpliismail@EmekaGift100 While Ironsi’s decree officially ended regionalism, but Nigeria’s federal structure was already unstable due to political conflicts.
@simpliismail@EmekaGift100 That move was intended to unify the country and reduce ethnic divisions, but it backfired, especially in the Northern Region, where leaders saw it as an Igbo attempt to dominate Nigeria. But it wasn't. It was just a bad decision.
@simpliismail@EmekaGift100 The 1962-63 crisis in the Western Region, ethnic tensions from the 1964 general elections, and the 1965 Western election violence had all damaged federalism.
@simpliismail@EmekaGift100 Do you know why he ended the regional system and centralized governance? in practice, regionalism had already been weakened by political crises before Ironsi’s rule.
To the police and others, the court order , whether given in Honolulu or North Korea , must be obeyed. The hunters disagree . To them, the Governor is the law giver; his pronouncement is binding on all.
Who wins between the Security and the hunters ?
Tension in Kano.
The situation is not funny oh. Sanusi is in the main Palace with hunters providing security while Bayero is in the mini Palace with Police, DSS , Civil Defence in action.
