Sam Dede Instagram – Today in history – 15th January, 1966:
The revolution of Nigeria’s five radical, headstrong army Majors, led by the charismatic, irrepressible Major Patrick Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu. He was just 29 years!
His broadcast to Nigeria at 6am, 15th January, 1965, read in part:
The aim of the Revolution….
“…..is to establish a strong, united and prosperous nation, free from corruption and internal strife. Our method of achieving this is strictly military.
Our enemies are the political profiteers, the swindlers, the men in high and low places…..those who seek to keep the country divided permanently so that they can remain in office…..those that make the country look big for nothing before International circles, those that have corrupted our society and put the Nigerian political calendar back by their words and deeds….”
Several decades after….
Nothing has changed. Nothing.
