They (the then minorities in the north) thought they were one with the core northerners but they have long been 'gamed' by the Hausa-Fulanis!

And Yorubas have also 'gamed' Niger Deltans. You see why they must always rush to defend the Core North? Asari has complained on NTA, Amechi is complaining now. But topic is Gowon's memoir, for everyone to understand how things got so bad.

You give logical evidence to sane people.....

Guess who gets the laughters?

True, Yoruba nation has enjoyed the booty of war conquest since 1968, and are doing everything possible to sustain an unsustainable status quo.
Nigeria must belong to all Nigerians, EQUALLY. That's why its important to ammend the imbalances that led to military coups in Jan 1966.

Katsumoto:

There was a war; Gowon won that war and Ojukwu lost it. So Gowon was in the stronger position and Ojukwu was in the weaker position. Or was there another conflict? Gowon or anyone in his cabinet could care less whether Ojukwu accepted Gowon as Head of State. Why didn't Ojukwu wait for Gowon's boys as they cornered him? He should have waited to tell Gowon he wasn't Head of State before being shot or imprisoned. Do you think everyone accepts Obama or GEJ as their president? If you commit a treasonable offence, you will be killed or imprisoned. Unfortunately/fortunately Ojukwu wasn't man enough to accept his fate.

What was the point of mentioning Adebayo in the post above? Did I mention Adebayo in my post which you responded to? You are fond of deliberately introducing irrelevant information into your responses so as to introduce confusion into the debate.

goliat was in a position of strenght while david wasnt. was david foolish to still match up to goliat? i know you guys are cowards anyway without a shread of fight in you, but must you want others to be like you? there is something called dignity of person, you yorubas should google it.

David had a strategy to win which Goliath was oblivious of

What was Ojukus strategy 200 guns? No alliance with any major power, No control of air or sea, No means of feeding themselves

eagle,eye:
Dayo, I have simply refused to comment further on this first coup issue. Because the lines are blurred, and we can argue about intents from now till tomorrow and nothing will come out of it.
But in our former arguement, you somehow justified the POGROMS AND THE GENOCIDE of the Igbo ethnic group based on this first coup. I still find it hard to believe that someone who has the capability to read this wide, will equally have the mindset of justifying evil, all in the name of winning an arguement.
Dayo, even some of the actors of that ill fated war such Black Scorpion later regretted the role they played.

The lines are blurred when it comes to Ibo atrocities because Ibos or Biafrans are not capable of commiting atrocities? Have you read what Biafran soldiers did in the Midwest? I am sure you would tell us the lines are blurred or dispute it saying the soldiers were walking on a straight line sharing roses as they went through the Midwest

But when others commit theirs its genocide. Maybe an hausa commentator should come and tell you that regarding the pogroms the lines are blurred

When would Ibos ever admit responsibility in this life, Its always the fault of someone else

Jaja Wachukwu was gisting with the coup plotters while other non Ibo politicians were getting mowed down in front of their wives

Azikwe was forgotten in West Indies while Balewa was cruelly murdered

Osadebey and Okpara were forgotten/bungled while Akintola and Bello were gruesomely murdered

If there was no initial attack and Hausas just jumped on your people killing them then that is [b]unjustified [/b]but when you draw the first blood? All bets are off.

Someone shoots into your house and missed, If you shoot into his house and hit target is that justified?

Sure, whateva....when you ready you'll agree that it was an Igbo coup. Some of us have accepted this fact and have chosen to move on, stay there dey deceive yourself. They allowed them escape indeed. How? drinking tea with Michael Okpara or by Zik refusing to go back home even though every head of the Commonwealth countries were chilling in his country? Oh, oh, oh, I forget... escape like how Jaja Wachuku must have escaped even though soldiers surrounded his house and had a tete a tete with him on his front porch with his son in attendance while Akintola was mowed down in front of his family? Ah, ok, I get you now.

Lemme ask you a quick question: A JAPANESE SOCCER TEAM MADE UP OF 10 NATURAL BORN JAPANESE AND 2 NATURALIZED BRAZILIANS WILL BE CATEGORIZED AS WHAT, A JAPANESE AND BRAZILIAN TEAM?! Bruh, the sooner yall seek true reconciliation by apologizing for the actions of the actors of the first coup and stop trying to justify it, the better.

WHY AWOLOWO COMMITTED SUICIDE? QUESTION WITH QUESTION?

What happened in the mid west? So far only nowa omoigui and his nairaland disciples have been touting this slur

joeyfire:

When pressurized to produce the evidence for the attrocities he claimed biafra committed in the midwest,Omoigui couldn't. I guess he thought nigeria is still in the era when yoruba press and their cronies used the print media to spread their lies.

naijaking1:

Ojukwu asked that Ogundipe to take over when Gowon and his group pretended that Ironsi was missing. They refused to categorically state that they had murdered Ironsi and his host, so for a few days, "Ironsi the head of state was no where to be found"

Gowon was his chief of staff, chief of staff, not deputy, not vice, not even 2nd, 3rd, or 4th in authority.
An example would be if the school principal is missing, the vice principle will run away too. The dean, all the heads of department will be passed over by principal's secretary to assume the position of a new principal?

Nzeogwu's coup was not an Igbo coup(there was Ademoyega, and another non-Igbo officer), and shame to any serious historian that argues to make it so, because it's the only reason given for the genocide against helpless, harmless, and defenseless Igbo civilians in 1966. There were more Igbos in the group, because Igbos dominated the army at that time. Of course the coup didn't go as Nzeogwu planned it, because some officers dropped the ball, or didn't entirely agree with the idea.
When educated people who know the truth speak of Igbo officers introducing tribalism as a raison d'etre for the illogical and unprovoked massacre of Igbo officers and civilians, it's simply false.

Very laughable post complete crap and beer parlour gist.

Ummmm........ actually in 1956 during the negotiations for independence, Ahmadu Bello said he wanted nothing to do with Igbos, that the North "needed more time"; he said he wanted no parts of Nigeria.

Obafemi Awolowo said hed rather have nothing to do with the North, he also said he wanted no parts of a Nigeria.

Nnamdi Azikiwe was to be the tie breaker.... take a wild guess which side he voted.

Yup, now theres a Nigeria. Stop blaming 1967-70 for something that coulda been easily settled 10yrs earlier.

I think youre special and need to go see a looney doctor. Look at this fool trying to move the goal post as he goes along.

Dude, its you and your family that will live and die in the madness called Nigeria, so it will do you a lot of good to heed your own advice and enjoy the life sentence in the prison your ancestors have built for you. The problem with ignorant fu*ckas like yourself is that you think everyone that speaks up against the injustice you dummies face has an underlying interest. Since I was born, I have never witnessed more than 48hrs of no electricity at a time, cops dont demand bribes at every turn and my congressman will not run off with my Grandma's pension fund. My President wont eat $30,000/day meals, give his wife N4billion to play with, build a N16billion super-mansion for his vice, pardon an international fugitive, boost Subsidy fraud from N200billion to N2.2trillion just so he can have more dough to steal while 85%+ of the population starve to death.

So, I advice YOU and "your peeps to stop complaining, accept your fate and sit tightly in the ill fated flight 911 called Nigeria, the pilot has since lost control and you are nosediving into the middle of the ocean. Enjoy the crash mate".
