Nice history pics

Picture of the 30 Nigerian civil war terrorists

This will make frontpage.

The great days of our military. About 60% of the military hierarchy were igbo and SS. Flashforward to the 21st century, and now about 70% of our military is now composed of hausas/fulanis. Now our military is a mismatch buffoonish force of incompetent morons. You don't need calculus to tell you what went wrong

When recruitment was done purely on merit.

Nzeogwu and Ojukwu were progressive turncoats and saboteurs who were double dealing with the Awoists, Arewa pigs and Labour party wizards of the UK. Also, you need to check your history, without the help of the Anglo coalition, and Ojukwu's sabotaging betrayal, the Biafran ragtag army will have slaughtered and enslaved the oduduwa race for a 1000 years

Take a good look at dis pics nd u wld see gen ironsi nd den behind him is col ojuku den behind ojuku is gen gowon. Na so great people designed to shape our history stand

Waitooo,i saw two northerners and all the rest came from south,no wonder they had effontery to stage a coup and stood for a seccession,i can see a day coming when history'll repeat itself.

Maybe you don't understand simple english. What i am saying is that, the Biafra experiment was a Socialist-progressive facade launched by the Awoists/ fulanis, and carried out by collaborators like Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. Later in the war, Ojukwu was displaced and the true igbos started making gains. The dilector is also a firestarter working for Tinubu and Buhari. If true igbos had really wanted to seccede from the nation, they would have gone with 5 million oduduwa slaves.

Interesting, that was when promotion to a rank meant something. But, Gowon and Co. damaged and bastardized standing rules which Ogundipe's cowardly act ignited.

The consequence of which is the likes of "Generals" Ransome Kuti and Diya everywhere. What a shame!

Behind the camera, you would have seen 89 dirty looking houseboys who were simply there to observe and clap. That is where you would have found OBJ, who was too stup1d to graduate on time

God bless Igbos that are Igbo

Well said. When enlistment was based on intelligence and academic performance not Hausa-Fulani clan. A lot of Nigerians till this day, don't fully understand the goal of the coups...to propel Hausa-Fulani. When they plot a coup, they usher in their Hausa-Fulani comrades; this continued until they sustained absolute control of the military that even under democracy, it would be difficult to rid them out. Hausa-Fulani know they can't compete if intelligence and academic performance were the primary qualification for enlistment and promotion.

Here is the kicker: If academic performance and Intelligence Quotient were the primary requirement for enlistment, how do you explain a group that is consistently, if not perpetually last in Neco, Waec, Jamb, Common Entrance, in every measure of academic sufficiency are ironically the highly represented group in the military? How do you explain this? Even if muscles and physical fitness were a secondary requirement, what race of people are more muscular and fit than Igbos and SS?

What about brigadier Ogundipe? Was he not one of the first officers? A total cowardly footnote in history, who blazed a trail that Diya, Adisa, Olarewaju and Ransome-Kuti emulated

How time flies

Buhari is the commander in Chief of Fulani herdsmen,
El rufia is a little devil/sadist who drives joy in making the poor cry.
All these Top apc members secure juicy appointments for their kids in CBN and NNPC while the jobless Sai Buhari chanting Zombie youths wallow in poverty.
As usual the Zombies are free to quote me.

Nigerians know your history. For your own good not only p-square fighting

Where is Olufemi Olutoye? He was the 2nd graduate to enlist with the NA just hours after Ojukwu enrolled.
