IGBOSON1:Son of a silly coward... Your desire to cause problems in Nigeria will eventually lead you to stay alone. The prison will be opened wide enough for you and cohort if you insist staying alone. I have never seen a tribe populated with so many lunatics eager to repeat their mistakes. He who preaches division and hatred do not deserve peace... 2 Likes |

The best word to describe the january 15 1966 coup that took the life of maj Aguiyi Ironsi, Ademulegu, Ralph shodeinde, Ahmadu Bello et al is that the coup was highly counter conspired. "Exercise damisa” was taken to a full blow coup to annex power for the major power players and conspirators. Chicken delima complex politics still the key factor in nigeria politics till today. No tribe wants to loss out when it comes to allocation of values. Power tussle will therefore emanate between the major players! God help us. |

You still don't get it do you? Azikiwe was spared by his region.. they didn't kill the eastern corrupt politician as agreed.. Okotie eboh was unfortunate to be in the company of a Northerner wen he was killed.. plus he was the one in charge of finance and was in the know of the ongoing corruption.. if you still don't get it.. I can't help you further.. pls also work on your tenses.. I don't blame you, I blame your eastern leaders who were sleeping when their mates were working.. cheers and pls Bleep off my mention.. thanks. kraftykc: 1 Like 1 Share

AreaFada2: God bless you my broda! The civilians shouldn't have handed over to the military. After that Nzeogwu and Co should have been dismissed from the Army and imprisoned for life or upwards of 15 to 21 years. The military's sojourn in2 politics wrecked Nigeria's dreams of becoming a great nation state in the comity of nations. 1 Like |

kritikali: ^^^Your crass stupidity is of gargantuan proportions walahi! If Igbos (who besides Ironsis' 6 months in office) haven't produced a president/commander-in-chief since independence; and given the way the country has been misgoverned and the economy run aground since then, how then does your daft mind compute that Ndigbo are responsible for 'looting Nigeria dry'!? Idiat, who are those that depend on gov't/Abuja the most, and who are those that can't live with themselves if they're aren't the ones calling the shots even for a minute!? You bastards are so paranoid to the extent that any action or inaction of a Igbo or Niger Deltan is misconstrued as 'payback for the civil war'!.....Is your past haunting you? Well, your man is now president so what da hell are you waiting for.....send Ihejirka to The Hague if you feel you have anything against him! Your evil mindset is exactly the reason why Nigeria is where it is today; trying to justify evil under ANY guise is the way of cavemen, and such behaviour doesn't belong in the 21st century! |

Castroii:The Death of Nzeogwu Nzeogwu had gone out on a reconnaissance mission in the Nsukka sector. He was travelling in an improvised armoured vehicle (known as a "Biafran Red Devil" that had been converted by the ingenious Biafran engineers from a Bedford truck. The vehicle was cumbersome despite its impressive ingenuity. The vehicle became immobilised and was surrounded by federal troops of the 21stbattalion at a roadblock near the University of Nigeria Nsukka campus. The troops were led by Captain Abubakar Gora, and they opened fired on it. The vehicle's improvised armour withstood their bullets until it was attacked with the fearsome 106mm recoilless rifle which pierced its body. Ironically, the 106mm recoilless rifle was the same anti-tank weapon that Nzeogwu and other soldiers used in January 1966 to attack and destroy the official lodge of the Sardauna of Sokoto. At this point, the accounts diverge. Olu Mamdap (former military driver to General Domkat Bali) witnessed the incident and claims that Nzeogwu and the other “two or three” occupants in the vehicle were killed while still inside the vehicle. Mamdap claims that it was not known that Nzeogwu was inside until the corpses were dragged out. However Major-Generals Mohammed Shuwa and Abdullahi Shelleng (who were not present when Nzeogwu was killed but saw his corpse) claimed that while being fired on, Nzeogwu jumped out from the vehicle, shouted in Hausa and identified himself as Major Nzeogwu but was shot dead anyway. Ojukwu's mixed race half brother Tom Biggar was also killed along with Nzeogwu. Biggar was the child of Ojukwu’s mother after she divorced Sir Louis Odumegwu and married a European named Biggar. Nzeogwu's corpse was identified by Lieutenant Abdullahi Shelleng who ordered that it should be stored firstly in the University of Nigeria campus at Nsukka. However, by the time Shelleng arrived, Nzeogwu's eyes had been plucked out in what appears to have been a ritual mutilation. According to Shelleng the soldier who shot Nzeogwu was ironically Nzeogwu's former batman. The corpse was later sent to 1 division headquarters in Makurdi where the 1 division commander Colonel Mohammed Shuwa informed the head of state Major-General Gowon. Despite the fact that Nzeogwu was now technically an enemy soldier killed in combat against the Nigerian army, Gowon ordered that Nzeogwu's body should be flown to Kaduna and buried with full military honours – even as the war raged on in the Eastern Region. Even in death, Nzeogwu was still respected by federal and northern troops. Domkat Bali referred to him as: “a nice, charismatic and disciplined officer, highly admired and respected by his colleagues. At least he was not in the habit of being found in the company of women all the time messing about with them in the officers mess, a pastime of many young officers then….we believed that he was a genuinely patriotic officer who organised the 1966 coup with the best of intentions who was let down by his collaborators….If we had captured him alive, he would not have been killed. I believe he probably would have been tried for his role in the January 15 coup, jailed and probably freed after some time. His death was regrettable.” 2 Likes |

hakeem4:hahaha,let me tell you,IGBOS doesnt need what other people needs to succed,by the way noble prize is just a prize given by norwegian and swedes government,CHINUA ACHEBE didn't won nobel prize and he was undisputedly the greatest african writer,the only only african whose book(THINGS FALL APART)is in the list of 100 most sought after book in the world,the only african whose book is the most translated,the first african whose book was made standard curricular in schools across the world,even the europeans and americans calls him the great grandfather of modern african literature.so why are you comparing him with wole soyinka who only won the noble prize in 1986,whose nobel prize didn't even grant him the professor of poetry in oxford university instead he lost it to someone that haven't even dreamt of winning nobel prize. Note:am not downgrading the nobel laurete,i just wanted to cure your madness.thanks 1 Like 1 Share |

Now to rephrase it all for a brain washed animal like u, the lootin under GEJ is incomparable to any since independence. Ihekirija or wateve the hel his name is, whether u product of baby factory like it or not is still bein investigated if not wanted for war crimes and cannot travel freely to just anywhere in the world.
