DerideGull:


The above analogies are akin to Nigerians. I did not know Igbo had army or armed forces. If I may follow this crap, “Ademoyega was involved in the coup. A Brazilian playing for the Spanish national team doesn't make the Spanish team a Brazil-Spain team”, it is likely the Spanish national team in reference is Nigerian army not Igbo army. A person with average intellect could easily discern that Spanish national team is Nigerian army and Ademoyega, Ifeajuna and Nzeogwu were national team players. .

Use your brain old man. Do you know what analogous means? Igbo and Yoruba are as distinct as Spanish and Brazilian are.

Okay, it's becoming very clear who this poster is now. A question for you, now. Why do you repeatedly make alternate monikers and hide behind fake identities on the internet on an anonymous forum? Isn't that kind of weird/crazy? It also seems kind of dumb and cowardly at the same time. Please do explain why you behave that way.

Are you stupid or something? I'm talking to you the way I would talk to you under my real handle. I don't care about your feelings. I don't need to change my opinions because I post the way I feel and the only reason why I'm using this handle is because of a ban. Just shut it!

You think I'm honestly scared of you? You must be high off some cheap supply.

Katsumoto:

I base my position on the fact that Ademoyega fought Ifeajuna. In my opinion, he wouldn't have resorted to fighting if he believed Ifeajuna was just incompetent. He believed and he stated as such in his book. That is enough for me.

Ademoyega would always defend the coup; he was a part of it. There is nothing strange in that. He has left clues to what his afterthoughts were in his book.

I mentioned Mbu by listing NCNC officers that could have been targeted but weren't. If innocent pregnant woman could be shot, one of them killed, why should they care about someone who was actually in government? After all, Ademulegun, Shodeinde, Maimalari, Kur, Pam were supposedly collateral damage.

Okay, thanks for explaining your view about the cause of the fight and for explaining the mention of Mbu's name.

Lol, did I ask if you "cared about my feelings"? I have no problem with your opinions/delusions. You're welcome to them, even though they're rooted in ignorance and stupidity. I only responded to you because you made the comment towards me and it was a dumb accusation.

I thought the username (Sheeple) was chosen instead of a variant of your usual/original username because you were trying to put on another one of your alternate identities (it's not like you haven't done that in the past), but I see that you chose it because of the mods. Fine - that was a wrong assumption on my part.

I don't care whether you are or aren't "scared of me" (how can anyone be "scared" of an anonymous internet username, anyway), and it kind of annoys me that I bothered responding/explaining anything to you, since you're starting to seem like little more than a troll.

Physics--Did you see my question about the idea that there was an earlier plot in 1964/1965 that Azikiwe rejected? Odia Ofeimun, who Max Siollun cites as one source for the idea that the coup's goal was to install Awolowo, wrote that some people claimed Ojukwu approached Azikiwe about mounting a coup after the 1964 political crisis, well in advance of the Nzeogwu group's move in 1966. Azikiwe is said to have turned him down. Gowon also claimed that Ojukwu approached him about mounting a coup and that he rejected the idea as well. Finally, David Ejoor claims that there had been a grand conspiracy for a military coup since Independence (a claim I find hard to believe, but I add here in order to have a full catalogue). Do you know if anyone's ever substantiated these rumours or were they just wartime propaganda?

I haven't come across anything before that substantiates these claims. Maybe there is something out there that corroborates one of these claims, but I certainly haven't come across such information.

Perhaps, you should more concerned about your epistle-writing, rather than being precise and straight-forward in your responses. I made my observation known about the bias in your posts. I know how you were swearing and cursing out a certain poster for claiming to be Edo despite his original hometown being a Yoruba town ruled over by Benin Kingdom in the past. However, that's the same petty excuse you're making for both Papbrowne and Ola-edo. Just accept that you're bias and you have no say in the discourse - end of.

I don't have time for you and the Eurocentric junk you have slaved up to by over-saturating your thoughts with bs, only clowns like yourself can align with knowledge and intelligence.

Who was this poster, and could you post a link to that thread?

I don't know how you're not getting that I have in fact, exposed an Igbo poster pretending to be Edo (Bini) in the past - this is simply a fact. So your initial accusation, apart from being irrelevant to the thread, was just sheer nonsense. You should apologize for accusing me wrongly (and vulgarly) if you're man enough.

Regarding #5, I think that I mentioned this a long time ago on a thread where me and Katsumoto discussed this coup, but it's already known that multiple members of the federal and regional governments were aware of an imminent coup - that Zik chose to stay away when given the opportunity might mean that he knew that his position as president made it especially unlikely that he would survive such a coup (had it been carried out successfully), but it doesn't mean that he stayed away because he had in-depth, secret knowledge of the particulars of the coup beforehand, or that he had private discussions with the coup plotters beforehand. That would just be guessing/insinuation, but

There are other publications that make the same observation (about government officials being warned about an impending coup), but this one (Max Siollun's book) actually has the relevant material easily available online to be preview: http://books.google.com/books?id=t5Q78sVbLakC&pg=PA39 Scroll down to the section labeled "Unheeded Warnings" and read on from there.

And of course, there is still the possibility that Zik merely stayed away because he wanted an excuse for an extended vacation (although I think this is the least likely possibility). But in any case, there's no real reason to just assume that Zik's absence is evidence of his involvement in any sort of plot.

I don't buy the explanations given above including the one by Max Siollun, a well known biafra sympathizer. Katsumoto's thoughts make more sense than those expressed above. Ifeajuna's (Zik's cousin) ethnic cleansing was unmistakeable.

Apologise for you exposing your bias? You're definitely high off some cheap supply.

The person you swore at with all kinds of curses used to post regularly on this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/415620/strongest-military-africa/99 It seems he's a military guy but I can't find his handle on there anymore. He probably deleted it.

Next time I see Ola-edo and Papabrowne on a thread hiding under "Edo" to throw shades at Yoruba. And you're nowhere to be found with your nl alert tone - you would be called out again - simples. Stop posting epistles to me - I don't read Eurocentric junk and Benin history isn't part of my scholarship. undecided

The poster I remember cursing out (and even then I was wrong to do so) on a discussion involving the Edo was jaygetta, and I don't know if he ever stated what his background was. The other guy I insulted (amosy007) was some guy who kept making occasional offensive statements about the Bini while at the same time pretending to be/insisting he was Bini, although the majority of his ethnic-centered comments were Igbo bashing or Igbo criticizing comments. He spent the entire time continuing the pretense that he was actually Edo and I don't remember him ever stopping. So I don't think that's the guy you're talking about.

In any case, I don't recall ever interacting with a poster who pretended to be Edo and then later stated that "his original hometown" was "a Yoruba town ruled over by Benin Kingdom in the past." I would really like to know who this guy was you're referring to that said he was Edo but then later stated that his hometown was a Yoruba town ruled over by Benin in the past. What was the discussion about? What was the thread titled?

You do need to apologize for suggesting that if I was certain that an Igbo poster was pretending to be Edo that I wouldn't expose them. That is absolutely incorrect (factually) and it's the kind of claim only a fool holding a grudge against me for no reason would make. I've pretty much lost all respect that I had for you for not even bothering to ask or check whether I ever went after an Igbo poster for pretending to be Edo before accusing me of bias and insulting me for no reason.

And yeah, there was a point when I was insulting people for deliberately casting themselves as Bini while they insulted another ethnic group that they have grudges against, because the cowardice involved pissed me off and the results of their pretense annoyed me. What would happen is that people that responded to their repeated insults against their ethnic groups would end up insulting the Bini/Edo when the person making the initial insults wasn't even Edo! I don't regret insulting any of those people at all, but I do regret the vulgarity with which I did it. Make no mistake though, I would definitely still have attacked their posts. I was probably even too kind to those people.

I already explained about Ola Edo and Papabrowne, and bringing them up again is just silly. If you don't understand my explanation, it's just a waste of time to even bother re-explaining it.

Dude, I don't need your respect. I command that. However, I don't know the other poster you cited, I've never seen him/her on nl. Also, I don't know about what happened between you and Amosy007. I probably wasn't on nl when that happened. But the guy in question who you cursed out with all kinds of obscene curses isn't Amosy007. Most of his posts are on military threads and he claims to be Edo, or somewhere in Benin or Akoko Edo, or something.

Your explanation about about Ola Edo and Papabrowne makes no sense whatsoever since they're not pure Edo. However, they both always hide under Edo to spew hatred all the time. If you can't call them out, then you're bias. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Evidently, if you could be so passionate and could go out of your way to call a poster out for being "fake." Then, ridiculously dumb posters, full of hate, like Papabrowne and Ola_edo also deserve the same treatment. Failure to do that only shows your bias and why your opinions are inconsequential in a discourse of this nature.
Re: Col. Ben Gbulie, One Of The 1966 Coupists Speaks On The Coup And Awo by Nobody: 1:15am On Nov 16, 2013
Err...the poster in question is Patriot4 or one of his Patriot series. I just found him. So why did you go out of your way to rain curses and voodoo on him for claiming to be Edo?

Btw, Amosy007 has never claimed to be Edo. I think he's Ijebu born in Germany or somewhere in Western or Eastern Europe. And the only thing he talks about is his hatred for Igbo and biblical references of how wicked they are and how Yoruba are from Israel or something like that. Heck, he has website for his beliefs.

I do not need to remind your sorry ar.se that Spain and Brazil are not on the same continent. Only a bigoted fool will talk about neighbors in such a deluded mindset as if they were from different countries.

This is getting annoying.

1. He claims to be Edo? Or "somewhere in Benin or Akoko Edo"? Or "something"? What exactly was this guy claiming, and why did I have a grudge against him? Was he actually a Yoruba pretending to be Edo, or was he actually Edo? Are you even recalling/remembering any of what you're talking about correctly? Why I am I wasting my time with you when you can't even tell me what the thread was about, or the title, or anything about my interaction with the guy other than saying that I cursed? Are you just trolling? At the end of this conversation are you just going to post a picture of a troll face and logoff? Are you laughing to yourself right now for getting me to even pay attention to your nonsense?

2. Ola Edo hasn't claimed to be Edo. I have no idea where you're getting this idea that he pretends to be Edo while attacking Yoruba posters. Did he say his name is a reference to his supposed ethnic background? Where is this even coming from? I thought his name was a reference to some Igbo deity (that was my guess, I never asked him directly) called Edo (there is such a deity - the name is written the same; don't know if the pronunciation is the same).

I really have no certain idea what his username is supposed to mean, but I imagine that if he really wanted people to interpret his username as indicating his ethnicity, then he wouldn't put "Ola" in username (I don't know what "Ola" is supposed to mean there, but it can be interpreted as being a Yoruba name, the same way you interpreted the other word in his name as referring to the Edo ethnicity).

This is the other meaning of "Ola Edo" (it is an Igbo phrase that seems to refer to gold or jewelry) that I came across after a quick online search: https://www.nairaland.com/226540/igbos-descendent-sudanese-igala-mixed/1#4721907

I came across some other Igbo uses of the phrase Ola Edo in other search results, but that one above captures the basic idea.

Anyway, Ola Edo is Chyz. Chyz was something of a pro-Igbo/anti-Yoruba ethnic warrior even under his previous username and that's something that people who were posting here a little longer than you were already know. I have no more reason to start attacking him out of nowhere than I have to start randomly attacking any of the numerous anti-Yoruba, anti-Igbo, anti-Fulani, anti-anything posters on this forum. It would be like me waking up one day and then suddenly attacking ommonokada (or whatever his name is) or Desola because of their anti-Igbo posts.

I thought everybody already knew he (Ola Edo/Chyz) was Igbo, but maybe you're the only one who thought anybody thought he was actually Edo.

3. I don't have time to go after to every poster on this forum who doesn't like Yorubas (or Igbos, or Hausas, or Ijaws or Edos). That's a huge waste of time. Anyway, there's a whole unofficial NL crew (led by dayokanu) dedicated to combating those people that spend their time insulting Yorubas, so my comments wouldn't make much difference. And for the last time, I just don't see anymore evidence that Papabrowne is undoubtedly Igbo than I do of Edogirl being Yoruba.

Let me see if I can make this much simpler for you:

If Papabrowne is actually Igbo pretending to be Edo, and I haven't called him out for making negative comments about Yorubas while claiming to be Edo,

and

Edo.girl is actually Yoruba pretending to be Edo, and I haven't called her out for making negative comments about Igbos (she has made such comments before - and I don't just mean the thread she made about Igbo men being rubbish in bed that resulted in some posters insulting the Bini in return, she has made other negative comments besides those) while claiming to be Edo,

How does that make me biased when I've refused to call out BOTH of them? If I don't call out someone who is supposedly Igbo (Papabrowne) who has made negative comments against Yorubas, but also don't call out someone who is supposedly Yoruba (Edo.girl) who has made negative comments against Igbos, how is that bias? Wouldn't it actually be biased if I called out one and not the other?

That guy was doing the exact same thing as amosy007 - engaging in repeated Igbo bashing while saying he was Edo (to appear 'neutral'), while it was clear through his posts that he actually wasn't. And I'm supposed to regret insulting that guy? That's what all this is about? That hardcore bigot who couldn't even insult the group he loathes (Igbos) while admitting his actual ethnicity?

As for edo.girl, I don't know who that is and I seldom see her posts.

If Ola Edo has ever said he's Edo at any time, then I missed it - I didn't think that having "Edo" in his username means he's referring to the ethnicity, but apparently you do. Which makes me wonder what you think "Ola" is supposed to mean there. Did you think he was putting a random Yoruba name there? If you did, how would that agree with the idea that his name is an attempt to convince people that he's Edo?

I think if anyone searched for the phrase "Ola Edo" they'd figure out that it's an Igbo expression for jewelry or gold (and it's not obscure or anything, I found it out pretty easily). I don't know for certain what he means by the name, but it's entirely possible that people who understand Igbo figured out that his username was a standard Igbo phrase, and his name might have been meant for them (Igbo speakers), rather than meant to dupe people into thinking he belonged to the Edo ethnic group.

And I went full throttle on patriot because that happened not long after the nonsense with amosy007, and I was annoyed - it was as if this was becoming the new trend: declare yourself to be Edo and then say "Igbos are this" and "Yorubas are that" and then half the people responding to the insults comment about the Edo. At that time it was new to me - now that stuff doesn't even surprise me.

As for this:

However, if she's Yoruba hiding under "edo" to spew hatred towards Igbo. Then, you have to call her out for fvckery.

That's what you do on nl and what you're known for - the defender of Edo.

Bias is bias. And I just cited two people. There are tons of other Igbo posters running around claiming to be Edo and using that to spew hate.

You're just wrong. I don't have to call out anybody. I've already called out both Igbo posters and Yoruba posters pretending to be Edo in the past. Why should I have to keep doing it? So I have to keep dealing with that crap every time I see it even when it's tedious and boring?

And I don't want to come to NL to defend the Edo against insults - I should be able to come here and just post as I want to without worrying about nonsense like that. If Edo.girl is Yoruba pretending to be Edo, and Papabrowne is Igbo pretending to be Edo, but I haven't called out either of them for faking while insulting other groups, then I don't see what point you have. Your whole point was about my so called "bias," but I don't see the bias in refusing to call out both. The issue there isn't bias, but being tired of dealing with the same nonsense again and again.

If there are "tons of Igbo posters running around claiming to be Edo and using that to spew hate" then am I supposed to track down and confront every single one of them? Wtf?! I don't have time for that sh1t!

Anyway, just accept that you're bias and it isn't just with posters claiming different things. Some of your line of arguments and how you attack Yoruba posters, while giving the rest a pass also shows your bias. I don't see Bokohalal doing that.

Regardless, I think the minorities need to stay out of this. This is between Yoruba and Igbo, both online and offline. If you don't want something to hit you when it's all said and done, based on how the whole thing would play out - just drag your people out of it. The whole thing is going to reach a boiling point soon and it's already gathering momentum both online and offline.

Anyway, I'm done with this.

And you think I should tell you what family I belong to because. . .? What do you know about Benin to be able to authenticate anyone's "Bini credentials"? The guy who only recently said "Benin history isn't part of my scholarship" now purports to screen who is and isn't Bini? Ridiculous. Anyway, it's funny that you think I would even humor your prying into my family background after you insulted me for no reason.

And for goodness sake, nobody made me "the spokesperson for Edo on nl," you literally made that sh1t up just now. It's like me claiming that you ever claimed to be the spokesperson for the Ijebus just because you keep mentioning them.
Re: Col. Ben Gbulie, One Of The 1966 Coupists Speaks On The Coup And Awo by Nobody: 2:47am On Nov 16, 2013
I mention my people all the time. You on the other hand have no claims to Edo apart from posting epistles about Edo history. Peep the difference.

Anyway, I'm done with this.

Edited.

Who are these "rest" that I've given a pass and who are these Yoruba posters that I attack? What are you even talking about? More vague bullsh1t and insinuation with no substance.

The minorities are in Nigeria and they are on NL. In case you forgot, the events of the 1960s kind of fvcked up this country (Nigeria) that still matters to me, so I don't have to stay out of any discussion about the 1960s if I don't want to. I've been asking other posters for clarification about some of the events of that era before you even registered on this forum and I'm not going to stop asking about things just because it makes you throw childish tantrums.

Sheeple: I'm Ijebu royalty and I mention my people all the time. You on the other hand have no claims to Edo apart from posting epistles about Edo history. Peep the difference.

Aren't you the same guy who admits to having never been to Nigeria, let anyone anywhere in Ijebu? I don't care what your ancestry is or what you think the degree of my credibility is about my own people. You're not anybody to be judging anyone's credibility.

Just stop misrepresenting my posting - it's irritating as hell. I never claimed to be the official or unofficial spokesperson for Edo on NL, and I'm pretty sure that no such position exists.

How about shut the fvck up before you get e-slapped around like a byt.ch? How does not being to a place negate who you're? Perhaps, with all the junk oversaturated in your brain cells, you should be to understand that identity doesn't change regardless where an individual is domiciled or born. Heck, Malcolm-X said, "A kitten can be born in an oven, that doesn't make it a biscuit."

In your case, any fool can read about history and claim to be from a particular place. However, how authentic are you based on your lineage?

You can go ask those that I've had the opportunity to speak to on the phone about how I sound. That's authentic. Heck, go ask Cheddarking/JackBaeursballs how I sound on the phone when I was going to beat his ar.se up for stalking me. Go ask those who listened to the rap freestyle I posted on here time ago how I sound. You think I would lie about my background? - GTFOH.

Told you I'm done with the bs. You're bias - end of!

lol @ "e-slapped around like a bytch." If the multiple identity nonsense wasn't bad enough, there's e-thuggery with you as well.

I don't care what you sound like (as if that's even relevant) or what lineage you claim - you're just not any authority on anything regarding my people and it's dumb of you to even act like you could ever "screen" the Bini-ness of any poster.

Stop b1tching about my posts and my supposed "bias", be a man, and apologize for the nonsense you pulled in this thread or shut up and leave me alone.

Apologise to you for being a bias epistle writer? You must be high be on the junk you oversaturated your stupid brain cells with. How about apologise for being a fake, a phony and a bias fraud?

If you want to know if I'm about what I talk about and if you won't get e-slapped, you can take the bait. Your epistles won't save you by the time I'm done with you.

DerideGull:


The above analogies are akin to Nigerians. I did not know Igbo had army or armed forces. If I may follow this crap, “Ademoyega was involved in the coup. A Brazilian playing for the Spanish national team doesn't make the Spanish team a Brazil-Spain team”, it is likely the Spanish national team in reference is Nigerian army not Igbo army. A person with average intellect could easily discern that Spanish national team is Nigerian army and Ademoyega, Ifeajuna and Nzeogwu were national team players. .
Oh my, ure dull as rock.

The Ironsi maga -"ism" shocks me sometimes. I wonder whether Ironsi ever understood what a COUP meant.
Once a coup situation appears on the scene (whether as rumour or credible information), I wonder which TRUE soldier would put his life in the hands of a NON-BLOOD brother (which explains why dictators always lined up sensitive security positions with BLOOD BROTHERS). Check history.
For Ironsi to be warned by Madiebo, and for Ironsi to have called in Hassan Katsina and dare Madiebo to repeat his story, tells me that the man did not deserve the slighest of respect when he was cornered at Ibadan. None of his killers respected him. lol

Well, I hope the lesson has been learned. Thats all.
