The problem
Gowon took over in August 1966 after two coups in one year, mass killings of Igbo in the North, and the East moving toward secession.
What was done
Nigeria was held together through a devastating war, but the underlying questions of federal balance, resource control and reconciliation were deferred rather than settled.
