DescriptionWhy Nigeria Exploded. The people from the West had had enough as they demonstrated in the last days of the old regime. The January 15 "mutiny by a dissident section of the Nigerian Army" which compelled the former council of ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to hand over power to the Nigerian Army was, although sudden, not altogether unexpected. The first republic had in its makeup (that is to say in its Constitution and in the men to work the constitution) every element to make its demise sudden and violent.
