“By 1960, shortly after Nigeria’s independence, the Prime Minister, Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, had directed the principal of King’s College, Lagos, Mr. P.H. Davies, to provide places annually, for at least 15 boys from the North, whether or not they passed the requisite regular entrance examination.” ---- Col. Ben Gbulie (rtd) in “Nigeria’s Five Majors” page 36 published by African Educational Publishers (Ltd) Onitsha 1981.

“The North was definitely in a hurry to produce army officers - no doubt, to be even with the south. It was therefore the Northern Regional Government’s avowed short-term strategy to swamp the officer corps of the Nigerian army with Northerners. Anybody in trousers could become an army officer, so long as he was a Northerner - with or without merit” ------------------- Rtd. Col. Ben Gbulie in “Nigeria’s Five Majors” page 11, published 1981.

"This nation called Nigeria shall be an estate to us from our great-grand father, Uthman Dan Fodio. We shall vigorously resist a change of power. We shall manipulate the minorities of the north, and we shall regard the South as a conquered territory." ---- Ahmadu Bello Sultan of Sokoto in Parrot Magazine Wednesday October 12, 1960.

"The conquest to the Sea is now in sight. When our god-sent Ahmadu Bello said some years ago that our conquest will reach the sea shores of Nigeria, some idiots in the South were doubting its possibilities. Today have we not reached the sea? Lagos is reached. It remains Portharcourt. It must be conquered and taken" ---- Mallam Bala Garuba West African Pilot Newspapers Wednesday December 30, 1964.

“By 1964 a group of young Nigerian officer-cadets, mostly Northerners, had been declared academically unfit and hence repatriated by the Canadian military authorities. These cadets were, however, pronounced commissioned by the Nigerian Federal Government no sooner than they had arrived at Ikeja Airport. Consequently, they had had to be absorbed into the Nigerian Army as commissioned officers, even though they had received no requisite military training.” ----- Col. Ben Gbulie (rtd) in “Nigeria’s Five Majors” pages 12 - 13, published 1981.

The rigged elections of 1959, Federal elections of 1964 and regional elections of 1965; rigged and annulled census figures of 1962, 1963 and workers strike of 1964 all caused by Ahmadu Bello and Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. The Western Regional crisis in which unpopular Premier Samuel Ladoke Akintola was undemocratically foisted on the Western Region, mainly Yorubas, by NPC-led Federal government with Tafawa Balewa as Prime Minister and Northern Premier Ahmadu Bello as sectional Party head behind this abuse of political power. Awolowo's incarceration in 1962 on treasonable charges and arbitrary use of the army against its constitutional role to slaughter over 3,000 Tiv ethnic minority in 1964 due to a civil agitation for regional autonomy from the Islamic north which was poised to maintain that hegemony; brazen corruption, nepotism and mismanagement etc led to the January 15, 1966 Coup-de-tat.
