Johnson Thomas Aguyi Ironsi turned Nigeria into a military unitary - TopicsExpress



          

Johnson Thomas Aguyi Ironsi turned Nigeria into a military unitary state when he toppled the civilian govt of Tafawa Balewa in the 1966 coup, who were running a fiscal federation with autonomous regions at the time. Now there is an outcry against this unitary system, blaming northerners for bringing it about, and threatening the north with disintegration if it is not scrapped in favor of fiscal federating units. If this is achieved, I am sure the south will be back one day seeking to bring another form of govt and blaming the north for the failure of fiscal federation and completely unaware that the problem is really with our selfish and greedy selves rather than the system or our leaders.
