Khyrvxjzy:

the enemies lost in 1970 after 3 million deaths

And after all that, Nigeria still proved to be an eternal disaster

Khyrvxjzy:
this is for the enemy of progress, that you can never win government.
Government is Lord

Enemy of progress? Nigeria has never progressed since 1960, so the enemies won a long time ago

Nice one by Ifeanyi Ubah

wirinet:


You have been desperately trying to convince others that it was your arch enemy Gowon that abolish regionalism in Nigeria and not your hero Ironsi. You have not even been able to convince yourself talk much less of others.

Read the opening paragraph of General Ironsi's decree 34 (very slowly so that the brains will have enough time to decipher its meaning).

Decree 34 of 1966 opening paragraph -


The main difference between a Federation and a simple republic is in the autonomy of the constituent parts. A republic is a country belonging to the people, whereas a federation is a form of government where by regional divisions are not branches of the central government. Thus, a federal republic has power divisions and regional governments fall under the power domain of the national government.

I honestly don't understand how someone will be arguing about something that's written in black and white with no ambiguity.

First they said it was Ironsi who abolished the 4 Region's, they were shown Gowons Decree 14 that abolished the 4 Region's and created 12 states

They switched gears and said it was Ironsi who removed resource control, they were shown Gowons Decree 15 which removed sections 141 and 164, the independence revenue sharing formula and resource control.

They have now switched gears to say that Ironsi changed Nigeria from a federation to a Republic

Unrepentant reprobates and goal post shifters

Deadlytruth:


For you to make this blunderous interpretation of the content of this decree shows that you purposely decided not to read through thoroughly just because you want to vindicate your fellow Igbo brother who truncated democracy in the early life of a new nation. On the commentary section at the right hand margin of the document you posted, it is made clear that the decree in question here is about the distributable pool to the regions and not about the main revenue sources which the regions were hitherto in charge of before the coming of Ironsi.
To help you a little further, in the Independence Constitution, each region was mandated to retain 50% of the revenues generated in their domains, remit 25% to the center, and deposit the remaining 25% into what was called a distributable pool. What Gowon was therefore saying in that part of his decree was that now that he had created 12 states, the distributable pool funds formula will be reworked in such a way that what was going to each of the defunct regions would now be shared proportionally to all the new states which came out from it hence no material change in the law. That he said that section 141 had been suspended didn't mean the distributable pool sharing had ceased. The suspension rather was in the sense that since the regions had now become states, the sharing is now among the new states hence the constitution must reflect states instead of regions hence the provision which reflected region is suspended for that which reflected states.
Let me give you a further example.
In the former Bendel State, the federal allocation was a particular amount. But later Bendel was split into Edo and Delta, and therefore the revenue previously coming to Bendel had to now be proportionally shared between Edo and Delta. For that, the constitution is now altered to read that so so and so amounts will now go to Edo while so so and so will now go to Delta thus the provision which previously said 'so so and so would go to Bendel' is now suspended and that which says so so and so will now go to Edo and so so and so will now go to Delta comes into force. Does that mean that that provision has been abolished? Never! It was only rewritten to show that Bendel is no longer existing but that what was initially going to Bendel as a whole had now been shared between the two states which came out of Bendel thus what was coming to old Bendel is exactly same as what is now coming to new Bendel (Edo and Delta). I hope you get it now. So Ironsi remains the destroyer of Nigeria

So with all you have written, it is now crystal clear that Ironsi did not abolish the 4 Region's Nigeria had, nor deny them resource control. It is now left for you people to go and find out at what point resource control disappeared after the 4 Region's also disappeared

Apologising about the January 1966 coup?

Nigeria put on its 20 Naira note a notorious coup plotter called Murtala Mohammed

Nigeria elected another notorious coup plotter called Muhammadu Buhari, as President

Another coup plotter called Obasanjo was elected President

Nigeria has honoured a renowned coup plotter called Babangida severally

So after the Nigerian state has honoured many coup plotters from the North, you want Igbos to apologise about which voup

APC promised change, they never said anything about change for the better

Whenever I read fake stories like this, I laugh. How can someone be so brainless to believe lies and propaganda of the authorities, such as this?

Read again

The troops comprising the Nigerian Army, Navy, Air Force, Nigerian Police, Department of States Services and the Nigerian Securities and Civil Defence Corps whowere on a clearance operation around Udaah, Identa Ihitteukwa and Awo Idemili in Orsu LGA of Imo State, made contact with the dissidents, who opened fire, lobbed hand held IEDs and launched locally made rockets (Ogbunigwe) at the advancing troops.

While the troops advanced, several IEDs were detonated by the terrorists who fled in disarray. One of the dissidents was neutralized, while connecting the explosive to its power source.

What the Nigerian Army wants you to believe is that they were on a clearance operation, encountered people armed with guns and bombs. Those people now opened fire on the Nigerian Army, launched bombs at the Nigerian Army, but the Nigerian Army just kept advancing? There is no Army on earth that you will be shooting art, launching rockets and bombs at, and they just keep advancing. Nobody keeps their life at home and go on an operation

Look at what they are calling a rocket, something that obviously cannot fly nor explode

It's obvious what happened. They went into forest, placed someone on the floor, took pictures and came to tell Nigerians a cock and bull story

They were shooting at you, launching bombs and rockets at you, but you just kept advancing foward and killed one of them who went to connect the bomb to a power source? As in bomb is now something that is charged like phone

I laugh in Chinese

Ohaji is already in Imo State, so how can you transfer to Imo State what is already in Imo State?

No news here, Nigeria failed a long time ago and the only solution is break up

All.this GDP had not helped Nigeria especially escape being world poverty capital, so what's the point?

alanto:
I love you guys so much. All the people standing up for Yorubas against the obidients. Obidients appear tired, now they are creating post to claim victimization I really love that. Please keep pressing the obidients neck, remember all obidients are not igbos. There are many sensible igbos that I know in person plus Umahi, plus Uzodinma, Soludo, Madam Ngozi, Yul Edochie, Zack Orji and many more others. While you press the obidients neck be sure not to offend those kinds of people but never stop pressing the Ellupees AKA obidients neck. They deserve it. Let's break their neck if need be. They are bombaklat.

The emergency lovers of Nigeria don't deserve peace. We need to keep them out of the internet.

Lol,

This Nigeria that is all about political fighting of each other since 1960 to this day?

This is the Nigeria some people believe will one day be a great country? A country of unity without purpose?

I laugh in Chinese

All goes to show that we are not the same people and the creation of Nigeria in 1914 was a big mistake

yoruboid:
Tinubu is focused and he has a mission and he’s going to accomplish it. This isn’t one Hero beer talk

You attacked Yorubas first and you expect them not to respond?

We are wiser now and we will not relent

Yeah, we can see where Tinubu's focus has taken us in less than a year

savenaijatoday:
I think the APC diversionary tactics of attacking Obi or Igbos is not only failing but appearing so foolish and defeating. How can a country battling with chronic hunger, fuel and water scarcity and insecurity abandon the weighty burdens and be sniffing around Obi, an Iroko that knows where he is going? Is that not congenital foolishness? I thought that It's only a paranoia with the online riffraffs until I realized it's a general APC sickness. Is it a crab-life syndrome of Tinubu is failing let's drag Obi along or Let everyone fail like Tinubu?
Obi has made a big name. With all the APC and INEC manipulations he got over 6 million votes. It has never happened. Why are you scared if you know what you're doing? I visit Nairaland to laugh at the foolishness of APC or Tinubu supporters. I salute you guys for real. You're amazingly not humans!

You have to understand something, APC and their followers don't care about Nigeria. They only care about being in control of Nigeria

So wether Nigeria collapses is not theur main concern as long as they are in control, and Peter Obi is a possible threat to that control

paramakina202:


There is nothing wrong if IPOB as a group decides to sit at home on the 30th of May to commemorate those who died before and during the Biafra war but it should not be imposed on non members of Ipob since there was no consensus among generality of ndi Igbo on the subject matter.Igbo christians may prefer to hold Church service on that day in honour of the dead.Other group may choose different ways to respect the dead rather than lock themselves indoors.What is it with sit at home and IPOB?
No civilise human being in this century will lock down a region of over 24 million people for any reason even at war time.

IPOB does not impose sit at home, they call for it. Its up to the people to comply or not, but generally, people comply. Sit at home has become one of the very few ways in Nigeria which people can do something publicly, without putting themselves at risk of being killed by the security forces

Come 30th May, as usual, the security forces will start running around everywhere in the East. Anyone who goes out on that day will put himself at risk of being killed them. I hope our people follow Igbos advice and just stay safe at home

paramakina202:


Is sit at home the best way to remember those that died in the war?
Countries are doing remembrance Day in honore of those who died in their struggle or war without having to lock up their people inside their homes. And why should ipob decide and enforce their will on others?

It would be good to come out and publicly remember the dead, however, Nigeria is not a civilised country. Sir at home only started because the security forces kept shooting those who came out. On 30th of May, they will be out again in force. Better fir people to stay in their homes and remember than to go out and get killed by the security forces

Those who never care when herdsmen slaughter people in the East like recently in Nimbo, will come here to wail about how bad it is for us to sit at home and remember the millions we lost in the war

Deadlytruth:


Why not also upload Gowon's gazette and in it show us where Gowon decreed that resource had been outlawed?

That's why we tell you people to go and do your research well before opening threads about what you don't know, and misinform people.

Gowons Decree 15 suspended sections 141 and 164 of the constitution. Do you know what those two sections were? That was the revenue sharing formula agreed at independence between the Region's and the Federal government, as well as resource control. Gowons decree even showed you what he planned to pay the new states he had just created after abolishing the 4 Region's. You have more than enough evidence to do your research on and see that it was Gowon who both abolished the 4 Regions we had, and ended resource control, using Decree 14 & 15

You can either embrace the truth, or continue with the false narrative because it is against an Igbo man.

Had Nigeria been a serious country, there was only person worth voting for in the last Presidential elections. That person is not Tinubu, Obi, Atiku or Kwankwaso. This is not about big names

All my life, I have never seen a better Nigeria, I have only seen a Nigeria getting worse with each passing year. But as long as I can remember, there's one character that has been at the forefront of fighting for a better Nigeria. A person who had fought for justice, equity, fairness and democracy. This person has suffered numerous arrests, detention, torture, just for fighting for the common Nigerian, things Tinubu, Atiku and Obi have never suffered for anyone. But this guy battled the authorities even during the military era.

I dont believe in Nigeria, but if I did, the only person I would have voted is the one who fought for Nigerians as nothing, not the big names who fight for Nigerians as something.

The only person worth voting for was Omoyele Sowore

Igbos should make money in Lagos, but invest back home

helinues:
Chai, people have just been pulling out all the reckless statements Peter Obi made in the past just to show how hypocritical he his.

Peter Obi wasted 8 years as Anambra state governor without doing any tangible projects in the state.

Wondering how wicked his successors are to have demolished all Peter Obi's achievements as Anambra state.

Chai, Eluup ti n lule piiii

It takes another level of joblessness for a person to be more interested in if Obi failed as Governor 10 years ago, than be interested in if the Federal government is failing today

Bliss4Lyfe:
See Yoruba that dont share border or boundary with Igbo putting mouth in Igbo affairs.


Na wa for this one Nigeria ooOO



Even Northerner is tellus who who are our people. Is that not very funny.



Meanwhile na Benin Language Ikwere and their fellow Igbos they speak here.

An honest conversation with our Ikwerre people towards the Unification of Ndi Igbo

I liked the way they talked in this video, everyone bared their mind in their dialect, both the Ikwerres, the Isu guy and the guy from Ogba, and understood each other. That Masquerade the Ikwerres of Omarelu have called "Okolosu', is also in Imo, called 'Okolosa' and is also called 'Okolonsha' in Anambra. Just small dialectical change, but the cultural heritage our fore-fathers handed down to us. Agents of division don't know what was said in the video,except where they spoke English, and that's why they are outsiders

At the end of the day, it's all about brotherhood, something money can not buy

okoro:
this one just call Peter Obi mofo

It takes another level of joblessness to be more interested in if Obi failed 10 years ago, than if your federal government is failing today

I don't know about vision but the only vision most Nigerians see is how their lives have gotten tougher since the Iragbiji dullard came to office

Whalis:

Of all you lied. Having an igbo heritage is different from being an igbo person. Even myself I have an igbo heritage. My grandma was from Umuahia.
Amaechi shouted down a prominent Igbo person who tried to call him an Igbo son.

When Amaechi was contesting the visited The Deji of Akure. Please read the link to see where he said he comes from.
Read where he said he had come not as Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo candidate or Ikwerre where he comes from.
https://thefact.ng/16709-2/

Just admit that Ikwerres like you are hypocrites, doing to others what you say you don't want done to you. You call an Aro man Igbo, you call an Abakiliki man Igbo, you call an Ngwa man Igbo, you call the Nsukka man Igbo, you call an Ichi man like me from Anambra, Igbo. But when all these people turn around to call you Igbo, you start shouting

For your information, there is no historical connection between, Aro, Abakiliki, Ngwa, Nsukka and Ichi. The only reason why these people are called Igbo is that just like the tradition and culture of Ikwerre is "Omeneli", there's is called Omenala/Omenali/Omenana/Omenani/, depending on dialect. Same way the Ikwerre say "Bia" for come, is how these people say it, same as five is "Ise" for all of them. Despite their various dialects, these people can communicate with each other without English.

Nothing stops the Ich people I belong to from deciding they are a distinct ethnic group, but how will we be able to do that when what we do in Ichi, is what is done in Ngwa, and I can go to Ngwa land and communicate in my dialect with their dialect? How am I distinct from them except denial?

If you don't want to be called Igbo, stop calling anyone Igbo, for the reasons you call them Igbo is why they call you Igbo.

chopnaira:

A majority tribe go dey behave like minority. Unity begger 😂

No unity to beg with the person

Whalis:

The Aros themselves among us say they are Igbos.

And Ikerres such as Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Tonto Dike, Duncan Okechukwu(Du can mighty), Ihunwo Obi Wali, say they are Igbos

Whalis:

Check Ohaneze constitution. Membership is opened to anyone whose mother is igbo. Ihunwo mother is igbo.

So please remind us again, who are the Igbo people? If they are the Abakiliki, Ngwa, Aro, Ukwa, Abribiba, Onicha people, to mention a few, then that means that Ikwerre are Igbo. All of them say "bia" when they want to say come, all of them call 5 'Ise', all of them call traditions and culture Omanala/Omeneli/Omenana/omenani/Omenali/, depending on dialect

There is no difference between these people, that why they are refered collectively to as Igbo
