When the Obong of Calabar signed a "Treaty of Protection" with Britain on September 10, 1884 Britain agreed to "extend its protection" to the Obong and his Chiefs. The Obong agreed and promised to refrain from entering into any agreements or treaties with foreign nations or Powers without the prior approval of the British Government. That is, he signed away his Kingdom as a British protectorate. This type of subterfuge was carried out with many of our ancestors. All of this was before "Nigeria" was created. Note too that unlike agreements between metropolitan powers these so called protectorate agreements with African Kingdoms did not have precise definitions of boundaries. On November 15, 1893, Britain and Germany defined their boundaries in Africa, supplemented by another agreement on March 19, 1906. These covered British and German Territories from Yola to Lake Chad.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://www.potentsecrets.net/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152im_/http://www.vmbarika.com/images/Akobatd.gif" height="168" width="480" alt="Akobatd"/></a></p> </div> <p class="entry-more-link"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://www.omoigui.com/2004/09/strongthe_bakas.html#more">Continue reading "<strong>The Bakassi Story</strong>" »</a> </p> </div> <div class="entry-footer"> <p class="entry-footer-info"> <span class="post-footers">September 25, 2004 at 12:10 AM in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://www.omoigui.com/the_bakassi_file/">The Bakassi File</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://www.omoigui.com/2004/09/strongthe_bakas.html">Permalink</a> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="entry-comments" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://www.omoigui.com/2004/09/strongthe_bakas.html#comments">Comments (15)</a> </p>   </div> </div> <h2 class="date-header">September 24, 2004</h2> <div class="entry-category-nigerian_military_coups entry-author-jimbi_media entry-type-post entry" id="entry-2238659"> <h3 class="entry-header"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://www.omoigui.com/2004/09/the_vatsa_consp.html">The Vatsa Conspiracy of 1985</a></h3> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <h2>By Nowa Omoigui, (MD, MPH, FACC)</h2> <p><strong>In Nigeria, beginning in the wee hours of December 17th, 1985 and extending for the next two weeks, over one hundred airforce, army and naval officers were arrested en masse for allegedly plotting to overthrow the 4 month old government of Major General Ibrahim Babangida who had himself come to power on August 27, 1985 in a palace coup against Major General Buhari. </p> <p><strong>After a Preliminary Special Investigation Panel chaired by Brigadier Sani Sami, selected cases were forwarded for court martial.

It was prepared by Police Special Branch Interrogators based on interviews with soldiers, other ranks and some officers who had been arrested after the mutiny. None of the soldiers and officers involved had come to formal trial in a court-martial as of the time of the July 29 1966 "counter-coup". Indeed the fact they were not court-martialed was one of the grievances listed by those officers who carried out the unfortunate operations of July 28-August 1, 1966. The coup report was released to very few individuals in Nigeria and certain foreign governments in early August 1966 - and then leaked. The remainder of the report which allegedly implicated certain other persons has apparently never been released widely to this day. It exists, we are on its trail - and shall publish it on sight.</strong> </p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=H9hdEbJowQI&offerid=80574.10000009&type=3&subid=0">Broadband Phone Service Unlimited Calling $19.95, 1mo Free includes US, Canada, Western Europe</a><img border="0" width="1" height="1" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152im_/http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=H9hdEbJowQI&bids=80574.10000009&type=3&subid=0"></p> </div> <p class="entry-more-link"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://www.omoigui.com/2004/09/strongleaked_po.html#more">Continue reading "<strong>Leaked [Police] Special Branch Report: "Military Rebellion of 15th January 1966" </strong>" »</a> </p> </div> <div class="entry-footer"> <p class="entry-footer-info"> <span class="post-footers">September 22, 2004 at 10:30 PM in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://www.omoigui.com/nigerian_military_coups/">Nigerian Military Coups</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://www.omoigui.com/2004/09/strongleaked_po.html">Permalink</a> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="entry-comments" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://www.omoigui.com/2004/09/strongleaked_po.html#comments">Comments (2)</a> </p>   </div> </div> <div class="entry-category-nigerian_military_coups entry-author-jimbi_media entry-type-post entry" id="entry-2225170"> <h3 class="entry-header"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204130152/http://www.omoigui.com/2004/09/strongoperation.html"><strong>OPERATION ‘AURE’: Northern Nigerian Military Counter-Rebellion July, 1966</strong></a></h3> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <h2>By Nowa Omoigui, MD</h2> <p><strong>BACKGROUND </strong><br/> <strong>In the early hours of January 15, 1966, citing a laundry list of complaints against the political class, there was a military rebellion in Nigeria against the first republic led by a group of Majors who were predominantly of eastern origin, the Prime Minister, a federal minister, two regional premiers, along with top Army officers were brutally assassinated.A number of civilians were also killed.
