THE MAN BEHIND  THE BLOG: www.deuceaquaberry.blogspot.com There are some unique careers out there that require no specific major, no particular career background—they make you wonder, “How on earth does someone get that job?” That thought process was part of what gave birth to: www.deuceaquaberry.blogspot.com,. i started the blog with the sole purpose of publishing my research work: "NIGERIA MEMORIAL", Which talks about the ills and thrills of the early days of my country Nigeria, but it soon materialized into something bigger. "One of my goals is to help young people feel more comfortable with the unknown,” and to correct the wrong teachings they get from schools regarding the history of Nigeria. some of my published findings may seen Dangerous as most people will think but the truth must be told, if not by me today its by some one else. i must tell you all though that “I don’t think it takes a lot to inspire someone to find their greatness.”

NIGERIA MEMORIAL......... ==== THE PAUSE so far so good: The coup succeeded in Kaduna, the northern region capital, but failed in Lagos, the federal capital, and in Ibadan, the western regional capital, and barely took place in Benin the mid-western capital, and Enugu the eastern capital. The majority of those murdered were northerners, accompanied by some westerners and a few Midwesterner. Some BOOKS, TEACHINGS AND ARTICLES, will tell you that No easterner lost his or her life, during the failed coup, but that's not entirely true. Quartermaster-General of the Nigerian Army at Army Headquarters in Lagos,  Lt-Col Arthur Unegbe, was Shot and killed by the mutineers who were of the same ethnic origin as he. so arguably, that dismisses the case of a total igbo coup! in totality, the coup failed! but that was not the end of it. what followed next is what some scholars will describe as a game of ethnic complicity and that singular mistake plunged Nigeria fully into a
