“Where are the northern governors? We hear of multi-billion naira that is spent to erect fences around the government houses; then what happens to the citizens? We must take stock and also take responsibility.”

diluminati: i wonder the level of commonsense seun has to put this nonsense on the frontpage. why will you be asking if Nigeria is on fire? what impudence?

vanunu: Is this the T .Y. Danjuma that killed Ironsi?. In 1966, when the Northerners killed 100,000 Igbos, this man participated, He looked the other way while Igbos were killed. Think of it , 100,000 mainly innocent women and children, of Igbo ethnic group killed within 6 months
Even Boko Haram have not killed up to 2 percent of that. Nemesis don catch up with Nigeria.
Why didn't Nigerians condemn the killings then. In the whole of nothern nigeria then, no single person came out and spoke against the killing of Igbos then.

God is watching Nigeria , No shaking.

Kilode?!:


Danjuma sef dey give self- righteous advice.

How about you return back all the proceeds from the oil block Abacha illegally dashed you without any due process whatsoever??

How about you stand with those calling for Subsidy Probe Prosecutions and sponsor civil society groups to fight this rot. As in put your stolen wealth where your mouth is, sir.

Afolabs101:

Danjuma received the oil block legally as the laws of the land as at then stated that oil blocks are to be awarded at the discretion of the Head of State. We must be fair to him, after all can you compare Danjuma to OBJ or Saraki or Diezani or ....... (fill in the blank)

Uten9z: Is not sensible that ppl keep insulting Highly notable ppl expecially on public media like this. T Y. Danjuma is one Nigerian Famous Nigerian who did this Country good, and he always comeout for the goodness of this country and he still he is, he has done even more fear for you the Igbo's than the wrong u assumed he did while carryout his duty. Now that God promotes and expand his territory you ppl talk any how. In case you dont know, the money you feel he is getting from those oil wells is still going to the widows, orphans, less privilage and foundations, schools etc. Pls he deserve awards tell somebody a legendary award, dont think it less. He has proffer a direction to face the fireout from 'our house' and those in high walls and iron gates should tek kia of 'we the citizens' of this nation and then all you can say?

kettykin: i dont think this is all about Biafra , who sided who and why the sided the people they sided ,
This is all about very daft people who bungled a lifetime opportuinity they would have used to
set thing right forever and instead they chose they option of becoming soldiers of fortune and opprotunistic politician, now the hen has come to roost and some fools are blaming GEJ as if he has anything to do with the present crisis which the people who dumped Aburi accord caused.

The following people who have been gallivanting as heroes of the civil war and defenders of the unity of Nigeria should come can fight Boko Haram and leave GEJ alone.

This same TY Danjuma boasted that if OBJ was not elected the president in 1999 he would go on exile and only for him to say that he regreted making OBJ the President after 8 years

Let me warn the SS/SE that this war is not for them , they should as much as possible avoid being dragged into the main stream battle only for the bastards that dragged them to fight against them in the name of keeping Nigeria one.

fmgold: Danjuma is a soldier and he did what had to be done as a soldier,war times are different. For all those screaming blue murder,if you know the man well he is enjoying his life,despite the power he wields, he is one of the few soldiers that resisted becoming head of state. He is a detribalized nigerian,last year he donated $15million to charity and put an Igbo lady(Thelma Ekiyor) in charge......(Bla bla bla bla bla bla etc)

Ileke-IdI:


Don't mind them. Their revenge never reach OBJ because the silverback gorilla still dey kampe.

dayokanu: Danjuma as a military man did what he had to do.

He killed ironsi and fought the civil war which were both justified in that time

Logic Mind:

and when did the justification stop?

In 1966 Captain Danjuma was involved in a counter-coup with the 4th Battalion in Mokola, Ibadan. On July 29, 1966, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi spent the night at the Government House Ibadan as part of a nation-wide tour. His host, Lieutenant Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi, Military Governor of Western Nigeria, alerted him to a possible mutiny within the army. Aguiyi-Ironsi desperately tried to contact his Army Chief of Staff, Yakubu Gowon, but he was unreachable. In the early hours of the morning, the Government House Ibadan was surrounded by soldiers led by Theophilus Danjuma. Danjuma arrested Aguiyi-Ironsi and questioned him about his alleged complicity in the coup which saw the demise of the Sardauna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello. Although some have argued that Fajuyi was not a target in this counter-coup, Danjuma, Walbe and others have gone on record to say that they probably wanted him "for questioning" as much as they did his boss, Aguiyi-Ironsi. Fajuyi was seen as a so-called progressive, who had supported the Nzeogwu coup in January of that year. The bullet-riddled bodies of Aguiyi-Ironsi and Fajuyi were later found in a nearby forest, and Yakubu Gowon became the new military head of state.

thanks so much for identitying ur uncle as the gorilla which he is,i ve said this time without numbers! Being a gorilla was already a big enough nemesis for him!

aurenflani: The fact that those who really are seen by the world as genuine welders of power in Nigeria were absent during Ojukwu's bufial attdsts to ghe fact thag thd elige from the other majofigy zones havd yet to accdpt the igbo as trusgwofthy fellow cigizens. Thos shows that thd igbos will not be able or allowed to lead this countfy as it it clear that thdy have nothing to contributd but tribalism, nepotism and division. All ghdse statements from tdm in Niaifaland are the tfudst picgufe of how they view their fellow cointrymen from other tribes and unfortunately for thdm evdn thosr who pdofess the same faith as them are not dxcluded in this spoteful feelong they nufsd against evedy unig of thd entigy called Nigdria.
Thdir bane is thd enability to embody diplomacy with politics. Even Hitler was able to agtract the Jews at thd fofmative years of the nazi party and eventually gained their collective suplort from both the manpower that he needed for numbers and the financial muscle.

T9ksy:


Geez! Legendary award for TY Danjuma? You might as well include the likes of Buhari, IBB, Obj ati bebelo in your

oxymoronic awards list. Afterall, all the aforementioned names and their sidekicks did a lot of GOOD for this silly contraption hence

we are where we are now.

For those crying for revenge I pray you live longer than him,have more money than him and become more relevant than him. He and his beautiful wife are known as the dutch and duchess of Nigeria,enjoying their riches and travelling all around the world while some people are seeking revenge for an old man naturally close to the grave ain't dat ironic.

The man is proferring solutions that should be taking seriously,once again some educated ignoramous blinded by tradition and superstition have applied sentiments to it. All over the world wars were fought, europe, americas,asia, africa name it. While the rest of the world moved on and are better for it,here in africa its always about the blood that was shed crying and that,s why we can't move forward. The europeans took us as slaves and shed our blood,are they not progressing. The dead stay dead and will not resurrect or has anyone on nairaland seen a ghost before. Let us address the issues raised and do what we can about it.
