Any chance to bring Mazi Kanu into the discussion….even if the thread doesn’t warrant it! Aren’t we all living the ‘one Nigeria’ you cursed souls prefer!? First pray for God to deliver your own region from evil before crying crocodile tears and pretending to seek his grace and mercies over a people you despise so passionately!

Some of us have been shouting ourselves hoarse that Nigeria is unworkable….was unworkable since the late 60s to date, and that we just can’t keep on going on with the status-quo, pretending all is well and that all we need is to vote in the ‘right person’ (as if there’s ever been a genuine presidential election in Nigeria since 2011), and everything will be honky-dory!

Nigeria will continue to sustain its cursed and troubled existence with the blood of innocents until the right thing is done!

Deadlytruth:

Trying to be clever by half. You claim Nigeria has been unworkable since late sixties because you want to rewrite history against the widely known truth that Nigeria's non workability began to prove itself almost as immediately as the 1914 amalgamation happened as Northerners began to ask for de-amalgamation almost immediately, Westerners too were describing Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country but your uncle Azikiwe and his fellow Igbo cheerleaders were singing one-Nigeria until the late sixties that it rudely dawned on them that the one-Nigeria fraud they were promoting in order to dominate Nigeria was beginning to boomerang and causing them unimaginable damage. So Nigeria was workable when Azikiwe was in cahoots with Tafawa Balewa causing trouble and violent demonstrations in Okrika, Tiv land and the entire Western Region in the early sixties? Nigeria was working in 1953 when Northerners again demanded secession and Azikiwe instigated the British to threaten them with treason charges? Nigeria was working when Azikiwe labelled Enahoro a sectionalist and enemy of Nigeria's unity for proposing secession clause which would have actually made Nigeria work by way of instilling the fear of the consequences of misgovernance in all our future rulers. Nigeria was working when Isaac Boro declared Niger Delta Republic and Ojukwu used the federal Military might to force him back into Azikiwe's fraudulent one-Nigeria. It was only in the late sixties that Nigeria stopped working because Biafra wanted to pull out but were paid back in their own coin by the other tribes whose own secession bids they earlier on thwarted. Comedian!

IGBOSON1:


See me see wahala! Dude, what sewer did you crawl out from to start having a go at me like this? What exactly is getting your knickers in a twist....is it me positing that Nigeria has been unworkable since the late 60s? Why does this statement rile you up so?

IGBOSON1:


I agree with you that the 1914 amalgamantion was ill-advised, but you forget that act was out of our hands...we had no say in the matter! Post independence however was a diffrent ball game as the three regions discussed AS EQUALS on the kind of Nigeria they wanted to live in.

Can you provide links to buttress your point that the Northern Region asked for 'de-amalgamation' shortly after 1914?

When exactly did Westerners describe Nigeria as 'a mere geographical expression'? Was this done as a resolution of the Western Region parliament? Your assertion leads one to think they made this description of Nigeria shortly after the amalgamation. was this a mistake on your part? The way i read it, it was Obafemi Awolowo that made the statement, and it was shortly before or just after independence....can't remember the exact period, but i'm certain it wasn't made shortly after the amalgamation of 1914.

You posit that Azikiwe was 'singing 'one Nigeria' until the late 60s......'! What has this got to do with anything? Did Azikiwe have unilateral powers to drag the Northern and Western Regions kicking and screaming into a forced 'one Nigeria'? If not, then what exactly are you on about? In any case, didn't the very same Western and Northern Regions have the opportunity in 1967 to reverse things and detach themselves from the 'marriage Azikiwe forced them into'? Or where they speaking from both sides of their mouths?

You claim Azikiwe was promoting 'one Nigeria' in order to 'dominate' other regions/ ethnicities. Could you show us some practical proof of this....just how the Igbos were 'dominating the Northern and Western Regions at the time?

Dude, when i posit that Nigeria became unworkable since the late 60s, i'm also including the strife that led up to the ill-fated and ill-adviced Nzeogwu coup! The wetie debacle in the Western Region is the singular event that instigated the coup, and everything has been downhill ever since! Would you argue with this assertion?

You say Azikiwe was in cahoots with Balewa to cause trouble in Okrika and Tivland. Can you tell us what you think Azikiwe stood to gain from causing trouble in these places? Also, could you present limks/documentary proof of your assertion?

You claim that besides immediately after the amalgamation, that Northern Region again demanded for secession, and YET AGAIN they were denied this and Azikiwe 'instigated the British to threaten them to abandon their demand'! Could you equally provide documentary proof by way of links/documentary-evidence to prove this assertion?

More proof needed on when and where Azikiwe branded Enahoro a 'sectionalist and enemy of Nigeria' for proposing a secession clause be inserted in the constitution? Azikiwe is but one person....your assertions on him may be true, but i want to see links or documentary proof to buttress your accusations of him EXACTLY IN THE WORDS YOU PUT THEM!

You claim Isaac Boro declared a Republic abi? Could you tell us the limits of this Republic (ie, regions or countries it was bounded by)....the ethncities that made up this Republic.....its capital....and where and when the meeting was held with other stakeholders for the Republic to be declared?

You have to tell us how and when Biafra thwarted the secession bids of the Northern and Western Regions to justify them 'paying back Biafra in her own coin'! And where exactly did Biafra get this unilateral power to 'thwart said secession bids'?

Nigeria, as disparate as it was pre-1966, actually was working because the template being used was the one ALL REGIONS signed up to on 1st Oct, 1960. UCH Ibadan was a centre of excellence at the time that it was said that even the Saudi Royal family booked in for treatments. The Western Region recorded many firsts during this period and became a leading exporter of cocoa. Their was a healthy competition between the Western, Eastern and Northern Regions at the time. The Eastern Region was noted to be one of the fastest developing economies in the world at the time. The likes of Singapore, UAE and South korea that we look up to today were not our mate during this period! Etc! But like i said, everything started going downhill from the late 60s after that stupid Nzeogwu coup!

It serves all of them right. They were sabotaging the nation and they got instant justice.As many as refuse to destroy / sabotage the economy of Nigeria ,they will all suffer the same fate sooner or later..

VPN11:


Unemployment doesn't validate the fact that they were sabotaging the nation and degrading the environment.Do you know the consequences of their actions? 80% of the crude oil Nigeria produces ends up being stolen by activities such as the subject matter.They were committing treason.There are several other ways they can engage themselves leglly asides from destroying the nation's economy and causing heavy damage to the environment.Some time ago ,the whole of Port Harcourt was taken over by sooth because of activities such as these.People could not even breathe fresh air anymore-it was that bad- because some people do not want to look for genuine means of earning a living and must blame others for their failures in life.If all unemployed youths in Nigeria take to illegal bunkering / operating illegal refinery, will there be any crude oil left for exportation? How will the nation now earn forex? They got what they deserved!


Over 90 Million Nigerian Youths, Graduates Unemployed – NBTE


The Executive Secretary of the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), Idris Muhammad Bugaje, has revealed that number of unemployed young Nigerians who are mostly graduates is about 90 million.
Bugaje said this while speaking at the Annual General Meeting of the Science and Technology Forum (STF) held in Kaduna.

“As we speak, the unemployment rates in the country are alarming because there are about 90 million unemployed youths .

He said the rise in insecurity in the country is not unconnected to the increasing rates of unemployment in the country, expressing concern how many young graduates are forced to roam the streets.


According to National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria’s unemployment rate in 2021 rose to 33.3% from 27.1% in 2020.

While a report released in July 2021 by World Bank shows that the unemployment rate in Nigeria rose to its highest level under President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime to 42.5% for youths, and 26.3% for non-youth.

I pray that Nigeria should happen to you.
Isee.
RIP to death.
Nigeria failed them.

Deadlytruth:


It is you who came out of the sewers to make a hypocritic insinuation that Nigeria was an ideal society until the late sixties which happened to be the time Igbos' first ever had the idea of secession crossing their minds.


Your demand for evidences and links to all these scenarios clearly shows that you are either entirely new to NL or just being plain dishonest. These issues have been in focus with links posted to back them up since 2015 when members of all other tribes were compelled to start setting the records straight against Igbo propaganda of being oppressed through the conspiracy of all other tribes on the heels of the self inflicted downfall of Jonathan who wasn't even an Igbo man in the first instance to warrant being the one on whose 2015 loss Igbos'premised their accusation of marginalization and oppression.

IGBOSON1:


Dude, you're full of shit! 'deadly truth' my black ass!

IGBOSON1:


You make assertions based on so called 'truth' you pulled outta your ass, and when called upon to prove your assertions you start beating about the bush.....posting irrelevant, tangential hogwash!

IGBOSON1:


I've been on nairaland for quite some time, and know the 'members of other tribes' of which you speak are just a handful of lying, revisionist, Igbo-hating bigots intent on trying to change the narrative and reality of the brutality of the Nigerian state from the late 60s to date!

IGBOSON1:


Your failed attempt to heap all the blame for the failed Nigerian state at the doorstep of Ndigbo while absolving the Fulani and Yoruba of all blame is well known and laughable! This is what you are all about on this forum....nothing to do with any interest in upholding the truth and fairness at all times!

IGBOSON1:


'Ndigbo premised their claims of marginalisation and oppression on GEJs 2015 loss'? Dude where do you come up with all this rubbish you spew on this forum?

IGBOSON1:


With the benefit of hindsight, we can all see Ndigbo were right to want to stick with GEJ.....as imperfect as he was! When any Igbo speaks on the 2015 elections, it's from a position of 'we told you so'! Ndigbo had read Buhari like a book and knew he was a bigoted, visionless, and incapable islamofacist whose only aim for seeking to be president was to further his religious and ethnic interests, and we've been proven right! If your stupidity affected just you lot, it wouldn't be a problem...you could stew in it! But when your intentional missteps affect others, you should expect them to voice their opposition and make their feelings known on the matter! Just look at where we are as a country today!

Deadlytruth:
as expected of the Igbo man in his typical arrogance and allergy to facts, insults is always the route of least resistance and escape in the face of defeat.
and rather than furnish superior contrary facts to the "so-called" truths, to really prove them to be so called, you lots, like robots programmed with a predictable response, resort to mere verbal dismissal laced with insults. That is why I didn't even bother to stress myself recollecting all the evidences and links you asked for. All such attempts in the past towards your likes have always met with verbal dismissals however clear and impeccable and I didn't expect otherwise from you.

A lot of articles have been written and shared on Nairaland chronicling Igbo politicians' and army officers' political misadventures which led to the Nigerian tragedy. The truth in such articles are established on strict logic and irrefutable facts but till today none of your likes has been able to write a compelling rebuttal to any of them yet the authors remain revisionists in your persecution complex infested brains.
When I posted a link on which Philip Asiodu, an Igbo man, confessed to the discussion he had with Ojukwu in which Ojukwu revealed to him the plan between him and Ironsi to abolish the regions, the only Igbo moniker who made an attempt to counter it came up with the watery arguement that Philip Asiodu was Gowon's lap dog as if Gowon had risen to power at the time in question to warrant Asiodu being tied to his apron strings thus defending him. So why should anyone borther himself with the task of giving further evidence to such a people who are impervious to clear facts established on common sense?

My membership of this forum was inspired by a quest to set the records straight as against the false propaganda which some Igbo monikers, embittered by Jonathan's loss, began to create and present as precedents and evidences to their alleged but baseless anti-Igbo conspiracy theories which are actually at huge variance with the genuine facts of life history of Nigeria's failure. I had to register to put a check to it all because of the danger it portended should the unsuspecting and impressionable youths imbibe them as truths. Thankfully to God, those Igbo monikers threw in the towel and began to avoid me for want of superior arguements and facts. No amount of revisionist tales can change the clear truth that Igbos' derailed Nigeria through their introduction of military rule and subversion of the independence constitution which guaranteed equity, fairness, equal opportunity for all citizens, and gave no room for laziness, entitlement mentality, existence of cabals at the center, etc. Every other thing that happened after Igbos' destroyed that independence constitution were all self preservation strategies by other tribes in the dog eat dog situation that was consequent upon the subversion of that beautiful and world class model constitution, hence the other tribes carried no blame. You can't blame me for whatever damage I inflict on your in self defense from your aggression.

If you were not simply daft and forgetful, you would have recalled the "we the SE/SS" identity which Igbo monikers created and peddled here to connect themselves to the mourning of Jonathan's loss. What about the cry of "Northerners and Yorubas colluded to removed Jonathan in their bid to continue with their plundering of the old Eastern Region's wealth"? Old Eastern Region meaning SE and parts of the present SS?
Have you forgotten how you Igbos derided Amaechi here on the theory that his antagonism to GEJ amounted to betrayal of the SS and their SE brothers? Wasn't the contrived SE/SS brotherhood you all based your support and love for Wike's pro-Jonathan inspired atagonism to Amaechi and the North until Wike ordered a genocide in Oyigbo, began to claim Edo ancestry amidst denial of being Igbo which all made him a villain all of a sudden in your eyes? You think we have forgotten? By the way why are we no longer hearing anything about the "we SE/SS" identity ever after Wike levelled Oyigbo and APC trounced PDP in Bayelsa with GEJ's support?



See who is boasting of prowess to judge the future based on hindsight. Where did you Ndigbo keep this your jaundiced hindsight reliance prowess when at independence you rejected the proposed all-South alliance which was based on a sound ideology that would have seen Nigeria catch up with some of the worlds economic and military powers within two decades, but chose the ideologically bankrupt NPC-NCNC master-slave coalition with the same Northerners who had already started carrying out repeated genocidal epidemics on your kinsmen in the North both in 1945 in Jos and in 1953 in Kano without any justifiable reason? So how come your hindsight didn't remind you of these killings as at when you chose political marriage with your killers? Your hatred for Buhari had nothing to do with any stupid non-existent hindsight because the same reasons of Islamic fundamentalism and all what not you adduced above for your rejection of Buhari were all possessed in multiple folds by Ahmadu Bello whom you prefered political partnership with at a moment as critical as independence when the enduring political philosophy for a prosperous nation was meant to be laid on principles and ideology. Where did you keep this hindsight when you again in 1979 went with an equally bigoted, highly incompetent Shagari? Where was this hindsight in 2007 when you were the first ethnic group to endorse Yaradua who had in addition to his incompetence evidenced by his 8 year obscurity among his other 35 colleagues, signed Shariah into law as Katsina Governor in year 2000 thus openly disregarding the secularity of Nigeria as clearly stated in the 1999 constitution which he had sworn to defend and protect?

Your hate or love for anyone is premised on pecuniary interest. Buhari was campaigning with border closure which everyone knew would kill illegal importantion business of Igbos' while all Jonathan's policies were pro-Igbo economic menaces. So shove up your stinking ass all these kindergarten theory of hindsight which all precedents simply put a big lie to.

Some of us have been shouting ourselves hoarse that Nigeria is unworkable….was unworkable since the late 60s to date, and that we just can’t keep on going on with the status-quo, pretending all is well and that all we need is to vote in the ‘right person’ (as if there’s ever been a genuine presidential election in Nigeria since 2011), and everything will be honky-dory!
