They were both naive and wanted to be more Nigerian than their contemporaries who were more their ethnic groups before considering Nigeria!

Can you imagine there has been no Igbo head of state or president since this man!? And it's all the more mind-boggling when you consider who where the personalities and what groups championed Nigerias' 'independence' and were visiting London for all those constitutional conferences in the 50s.

so, you people want to produce president? Not biafra anymore? The whole secession cry is to blackmail all of us into giving you presidency.

Presidency is earned, not given.

On Point 100% I have even heard in confidence from Non Igbo that they are so annoyed when Igbo are even claiming or celebrating anything Nigeria. They will win spelling bee in France and yet carrying green white green flag to take picture. They will be on Instagram talking about Igbo wedding but again green white and green + Shaku shaku dance....

You schmucks find it so convenient to blame Ndigbo (that you've schemed out of power since 1966) for all the woes of your cursed country! It's not Hausa/Fulani or Yoruba fault but it's Igbos fault that Nigeria is a shithole abi?

Ironsi, as naive as he was, only played with the cards he was dealt. However, with the benefit of hindsight it's obvious he didn't appreciate fully the level of malcontent in the north, and this is borne out of the fact that his body guard was a northerner and he felt safe and cosy with his eventual killers right up to the time they pulled their guns out on him!

If you want to blame anyone, blame Nzeogwu and his fellow idealists who included soldiers from other ethnicities as well!

Just what is it that Igbos and Ironsi did in 1966 that you 'angels' can't undo 52 years after? Fact of the matter is you love the present status-quo in which Nigeria is operating a unitary form of gov't in all but name, as it means you can maintain your control of the cash cow of the country and hold other regions down to move at your own snail pace! This is why being president is the be-all-and-end-all for una!

Let us call a spade what it is, eziokwu bu ndu(truth is life).
Igbos participated in making Nigeria what it is today.

Azikiwe rejected referendum and secession to be inserted into our constitution.

Nzeogwu and his colleagues led a one sided coup.

Ironsi created a unitary government and made the centre stronger than the regions, he didn't execute the coup plotters as expected in the military.

Ojukwu declared Biafra knowing fully well it's a declaration of war against Nigeria, no adequate preparation, weapon or foreign backup. That a pogrom was going on against Ndigbo in the north and Gowon desecrating the Aburi accord shouldn't had made him declare Biafra in a hurry without foreign backup and equipment, the US today would always go into a war with allies, we never had any.

Nnamdi Kanu brought his own madness into the mix by calling for the killing of Yorubas and Hausas, causing more friction between tribes.

people like you think restructuring is a favour to Igbos but that's where you are so wrong. Nigerian is poverty headquarters of the world and am sure you know which part of Nigeria holds the trophy but you think your tribesmen being president is your biggest target. Restructure to save your unborn children but no, you are more myopic in cutting your nose to spite your face.

Ironsi is not the founder of unitary system of government. Gowon/Awolowo government destroyed Nigeria's federalism. Go educate yourself for the benefit of your unborn generation.

Lmao! You are really bitter!! Every affliction affecting you igbos is caused by Yoruba people grin

Which Yoruba man promised you Presidency, if you need clarification about your promise, go and meet Boss Mustapha grin

Back to OP
The name Ironsi evokes a tribalistic, foolish, self-serving, greedy, Mr Decree 34 man. A typical Ibo man!

He was killed like a common dog. May his soul Rest permanently in the deepest part of hell fire grin

keep deceiving yourself.

In the last 20 years the Yoruba have produced a president and vice president. You belong to the people that are yet to get that in over 30 years . So, don't brag too much.
