Grayoso:


See we come back to the same shameless hypocrisy you Igbos are known for. Why don't you lead by example then?

You are shamelessly living in every corner of the nation and profiting from "one Nigeria" yet you confused and hypocritical people remain the most vociferous seccesion noisemakers with your insincere and fake allegation of "they won't let us go".

Why not all down tools today and move to the SE to begin your clamor for secession from there? If you got Biafra today what happen to the millions of Igbos dispersed across Nigeria whose host will surely demand they leave?

Truth is Igbos are not doing anything that demonstrates they genuinely want their own nation beyond noise and blame game against others.

Igbos don't want to leave the land of others. Fact. You are insincere people who just enjoy playing victim and guilt-tripping other Nigerians as is your ways. If not you all should go back to the SE. Rich, poor, male, female. Leave and show you are committed to Biafra beyond words and blackmail against others.

Lies..... Igbo seek to usurp power.. Leave Àwo outta this..

Thankyou for your contribution sir. But I disagree with you that this is a useless thread?
For one you are here commenting on it; sharing your opinion; and I seriously doubt a person of your calibre would dabble in anything useless.

V7place:


God judges us by our motives not our actions or else no one would have any hope. Nzeogwu meant well in my opinion-but their methods were dead on arrival.

Grayoso:


Why do you think some of us refer to Igbos as the biggest hypocrites and clannish bigots on Earth?

Awolowo's effort to have a secession clause included in our constitution was frustrated by the treacherous Nnamdi Azikiwe in collusion with the North.

Yet it is Awolowo Igbos will insult and not the traitor Azikiwe whose previous treacherous action had ensured the only option of seccesion they had was war.

When Oju-iku then took them into that ill-advised war then wiped out millions of Igbos, it is Awolowo, Adekunle etal hypocritical and tribalistic Igbos blame not the slimy Azikiwe or the megalomaniac lunatic Oju-iku. Take hypocritical, dishonest and unprincipled Igbos seriously at your own peril.

Ademoyega in his book confirmed that the coup was supposed to take place later in the year but he found out from H.O. Davies that Sardauna, Balewa and Akintola were planning a very bloody crackdown on the Western Region and the Middle Belt. They then rushed their plans and staged it on January 15

Deadlytruth:


If the crackdown on the Middle Belt and West had a jihad objective at the base of it as has been alleged by Ben Gbulie and Ademoyega, would Akintola, a Christian having Samuel as his baptismal name, have agreed to work with Balewa and Ahmadu Bello as said in the bolded?

dele1727:

This is the truth and nothing but the truth.

Till this day Buhari and Tinubu are vagabonds
But Ekweremadu and Kalu Orji are darlings

Very hypocritical view of life

nku5:


That's for Akintola to answer. People with his level of moral reprobacy normally do not think that far.

Deadlytruth:

This suggests that the likes of Zik, Nwafor Orizu, and Okotie-Eboh harboured same level of moral rebrobacy hence all failed to resign from a Jihad-plotting government despite being Christians.

nku5:


Akintola's NNDP alliance with the NPC meant that the UPGA crew of Zik, Nwafor Orizu etc were not just frozen out of the inner workings of government but were also prime targets. Akintola didn't care for the outcome, despite the ravages of operation wetie...a truly amoral human being

gidgiddy:


Make we hear word. Scottish people live everywhere in Britain, but that did not prevent Scotland from agitating and getting an independence referendum in 2014

Catalns live everywhere in Spain, that has not stopped Catalans from seeking an independent Catalonia from Spain

Britain left the EU, but over 1 million British citizens still live in the EU

Many Eritreans still live in Ethiopia and use Ethiopian passports despite Eritrea becoming independent from Ethiopia in the 90's

Igbos have every right to live anywhere in Nigeria until that point they get Biafra. Only then can anyone raise the issue of going back to Biafra

Gireiboy:

The initial mode of the Ibo's you mean! How on earth would someone claim that northerners, real northerners fa! rejoicing the cold blooded murder of the two most idolized northern leaders in history. Haba! this is just freaking unbelievable. It doesn't make any sense, just imagine for example; me as an individual born in the 90's, i still feel some kind of vengeful anger anytime Ibo people try to badmouth Tafawa Balewa or Sardauna (i guess it's probably true we Fulani's neither forgive nor forget ha!), i can't begin to imagine what my people felt back then, and to hear someone say that northerners where rejoicing haba! this lie is to much.
Infact i have a question;
Why would northerners rejoice the murder of their two most prominent leaders?
And as for the Ibo's every honest Nigerian knows they have the motive to rejoice, because everybody knows Sardauna is not in favour of Ibo's dominating northern Nigeria.

Dey play, I pray that the Biafra that you are craving for is giving to you, That's is when the real reality will be in front of you, you all will be deported to that your Biafra and those who decide to stay will be treated like foreigner, all your businesses will be heavy tax, you all will have no option than to sell it.

gidgiddy:


A very small price to pay for freedom from the long failed British colonial contraption known as Nigeria

babzo:


Hmmm...ironic that the 2 coups carried out by mid level officers and revolutionary in nature were rushed and both failed! 1966 and 1990.

T8ksy:



@ bolded part, above.........it was obvious to discerning minds (then) that this was the rationale behind the Jan 15th coup by the ibos - their principal have been pushed out of the corridor of power, consequently , they felt this was the right time to seize power from those "illiterate" abokis.

Oh well, the rest is history as they got their silly a.r.se.s well and truly spanked!

Deadlytruth:


Does this change the fact that Zik and Nwafor refused to resign from a Jihad-plotting government?

nku5:


What ever helps you cope with the truth my friend

Deadlytruth:

A 'truth' which fails the simplest test of logic and common sense.

nku5:


Akintola was a key part of the plot to "wallop the West"(jihad) That's the truth and crux of the matter. If you disagree argue with H.O.Davies and Ademoyega

masterfactor:


Yes indeed, we can't wait for that day, the only people I pity for are Igbos from minority clan.

gidgiddy:


Wether minority or majority, it was a big mistake the British made bringing us together, Nigeria proved to be a disaster. We should all seperate, go our seperate ways and mane our lands how best we know how

The union of Nigeria has been an unmitigated disaster that has done nobody any good

Deadlytruth:


No honest person doesn't know and acknowledge that the unity of Nigeria was going to be a great disaster but your blaming the British for it is dishonest. Azikiwe and Ironsi who forcefully resisted all attempts made to make Nigerian break-up easy were not British men. Please take note.

gidgiddy:


And both men woukd later bitterly regret it. The good thing is tgat the present generation have had a long time, since Zik and Ironsi's time, to finally see that "one Nigeria" is a disaster, which will make seperation much easier. The white man should never have brought us together

Deadlytruth:

The government allegedly plotting jihad had Zik and Okpara in it.

The concept of representation is alien to you I see
Your understanding of the 1st Republic and the dynamics of the time is too pedestrian. Deepen your knowledge
