This man (Prince Adeniyi Matthew) created a fake government agency called Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, appointed himself as DG, secured office space at the Federal Secretariat, opened a CBN account in its name, got N1,302,978,784 allocation in 2026 budget, summoned ambassadors to meetings, held strategic sessions with ministers, and even represented Nigeria at international conferences.
The audacity is almost unbelievable. Nigeria never runs short of ‘yan iska.
“The Federal Ministry Of Education, The Federal Scholarship Board, And The National Assembly Committee On Education And Scholarship Told Nigerians That The BEA Scholarship Was Cancelled But They All Lied. Because Why Does The 2026 Federal Budget Still Contain: ₦5.6 Billion For Ongoing Scholars, ₦1.764 Billion For 300 Fresh Scholars? Mind You, Many Existing Students Are Still Stranded, Suffering And Complaining Of Unpaid Allowances, Hardship, Uncertainty, And Abandonment.”
"It was heinously callous for Nzeogwu to have murdered Sir Ahmadu Bello and his wife, Hafsatu, because not only were they eminently adored by many but also because they were said not to have put up a fight. From that moment the putsch was infiltrated by "outsiders" to its supposed original intention and it took on an unmistakable ethnic coloration compounded by the fact that there were no related coup activities in the Eastern Region"- President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, 'A Journey In Service: An Autobiography', February 2025.
I hate to burst your bubble but there is NOWHERE in IBB's book that he said that the coup of January 15th 1966 was NOT an Igbo coup.
In fact he alluded to the contrary when he said the coup had taken on an "unmistakable ethnic coloration".
That is what he wrote and that is the reality. The coup was an ethnic one and that ethnicity were the Igbo!
Those that have misinterpreted his words and have said that he wrote that the coup was not an Igbo coup are either misguided and misinformed or are being mischievous.
They have a poor understanding of the English language and in the main have not even read the book and instead are relying on erroneous social media qoutes and well crafted disinformation.
I suggest that they procure a copy of the book, read it from cover to cover and stop attempting to revise history by misinterpreting the words of the esteemed author.
IBB, in his characteristic manner, was charitable to the Igbos in his book but that does not give anyone licence to misinterpret his words and conclusions or use them in an attempt to revise history.
The facts are clear and they are as follows. 99% of the officers that planned and executed the Jan. 15th 1966 coup and that were involved in the mutiny were Igbo and 99% of those that were murdered by them were non-Igbo military officers and political leaders in some cases including their wives.
We owe it to the memory of those that were so callously slaughtered not to sugar coat the bitter truth, not to revise history and not to tell lies.
The coup was UNMISTAKEABLY an Igbo one and IBB made this very clear when he wrote about its "ethnic coloration".
I urge all those that have a poor understanding of the English language and that cannot read more than three lines of any book or essay to stop using his words to establish their revisionist and patently dishonest narrative and their futile attempt to perpetuate an age-old lie.
The truth is that the Jan. 15th 1966 coup WAS an Igbo one and I am glad to say that IBB has confirmed it.
This is a FACT and as our journalist friends will tell you 'facts are sacred and opinion is cheap".

This is a well-known street in Kano. If there were a more effective way to communicate with the authorities, I wouldn't need to post this picture because I don’t want to politicize the matter. Cleanliness is highly valued in all aspects of life. Dear Gov. @KYusufAbba, please take action.
Electricity distribution companies in Nigeria seemingly charge consumers for unrendered services, including illumination from natural sources like the moon, stars, and sun, as well as our privately installed solar systems. Why are we silent ?
