See the south beats foaming in his mouth.

We should have voted for cluelessness because of a jamboree, ha called confab, that lacks constitutional power for implementation.

You are too daft.

By the statements n barks, u shall identify dem as scratch face members.

A CONFAB CANNOT BE IMPLEMENTED BECAUSE OF THE NATIONS CONSTITUTION, are u intentionally dumb

kingzizzy:



Your problem is that you dont know the difference between unification and unitary. All 4 regions were in place with federal fiscal policy and resource control. The only thing that was missing was political control which is not possible under military rule. It was Gowon that came in, abolished the regions, created States, took away resource control and fiscal policy. Yet you keep jumping about different threads saying it was Ironsi. Why didn't you ask Gowon why he did not keep to the confederation he and Ojukwu signed in Ghana? He couldn't keep it because it prevented him and his fellow Notherners from implementing their 'divide and rule' agender. It is not keeping to the confederal agreement by Gowon that directly led to the declaration of Biafra by Ojukwu. Yorubas and Northerners have ruled Nigeria for almost 50 yeas out of 55, why haven't they brought back regionalsm in all that time?


Let's not fool ourselves here. Unitary rule rewards the parasites up in the north handsomely and they will never let it go. Regionalism or confederalism will not only drastically reduce the political power of the North, it will also greatly reduce their federal Government subventions as well because of resource control.

Therefore, they will never agree to a confederation or regionalism. The North is most likely going to fight a war than let this happen. Anyone hoping for regionalism or resource control in Nigeria is wasting their time. The only solution is Biafra or Niger-Delta Republic

Eediot, Ironsi was appointing leaders in every regions and governing every region resources and you goat is telling me it's still true federalism?
Do the USA not have states? Does that stopped them from practising federalism?
Land grabbing ibo eediot keep mentioning creation of states which is the best thing to have happened to Nigeria!

What is my business about who is Igbo or who is not. If igbos are claiming aniomas and they agree that they are, what is anybody's business? Sort yourselves out with Aniomas.

So if it was an ikwere general you and your folks would call it an ikwere coup?

What is the ratio of the officers of other ethnicities that took part in the coup, in comparison with Igbo ethnicity?

So now you are doing mathematics just to justify your blind hatred. What percentage of non-Igbo involvement will qualify to make it not an Igbo coup?

What is the number of the victims of the coup that are of different ethnicities, in comparison with the people that were igbos and were also victims?

The people killed were all politicians, not civilians. The counter coup also by Igbo officers prevented the coup from executing its full agenda which also included the eastern politicians. Also do you think that the non-Igbo officers in the coup would agree to join the coup if it was only the leaders from their group that would be killed?

Who was the eventual beneficiary of the coup? An igbo man.

Simply by default. He was the highest ranking officer and if you watch the video, you will see he was very uncomfortable with that role

It is not about who led the coup, but more of the root of the officers that carried out the coup. You said we do say Aniomas are not inbox and I said that is not our business of they are igbos or not. It is left for both of you to agree on that.

Figures arrived at mathematically and scientifically will give a clearer picture of what is being said.

Politicians are civilians. There is no argument on that.

If he was not part of the coup behind the scenes and an initio, he could have reject the post and retire honourably. By accepting the post, it clearly shows something is fishy.

Also note that the Executive Council has already Dipcharima to be the next Prime Minister after Balewa's demise, but Orizu, another Igbo man refused to swore him in, until Ironsi came to the meeting and he handed over power to him.

You are more daft than I thought.

The constitution forms the legal basis of anything to be done within a sovereign state.

People were clamouring for things that are not in tandem with the constitution, how will.it work? How.

The first thing was to amend the constitution to recognise voting on.the resolutions of the confab, which is not.in this constitution. Except you will pass it through the National Assembly, which will of course be killed.

We can as well save money and ask the National Assembly to deliberate on the issues on our behalf.

The USA is not made up of 'indigenous' people. So, their unitary system of Government cannot apply to Nigeria which is made up of indigenous tribes. The only indigenous people in the USA are the aboriginal Indians and even they were granted their own 'communes' or Reservations as they call it where they practice full resource control and political autonomy and represent maybe 1% of the population. Because you have nothing to contribute to present day agitations for regional autonomy and self determination, you have to keep going back to what happened 50 years ago as if it will help the present day situation and you keep side stepping the fact that it is your people who practiced unitary system since then end of the war that ran Nigeria to the ground. Shameless

What is unification and what is unitarism.

The whole essence of clamouring for secession or resource control is dependent on devolution of power.

Pre-1966, power resides with the regions. Ironsi took the power away from the region and centralised, though he left the region's as the unit of governance. He is therefore the architect of today's anarchy that all of you are shouting about that "they do not want us to go".

All other parts of your write ups are mere conjectures.

Not as bad as you claiming that Ondo opposed Federalism in the last Confab meeting!
This excerpts culled from www.africamasterweb.com/CounterCoup.html says:
"Eastern region gov. Ojukwu did not help matters for the general (Gowon) when the next day after promulgation on may 24, he publicly announced in Enugu that on the basis of seniority, igbo civil servants would be transferred to other regions and Lagos. Needless to say, he unintentionally sent shivers through the northern civil service"
So tell me what business do Ojukwu have with appointing ibos for the Northern affairs after the unitary decree?
Stup!d ibo civilians wan chop from other region's resources, can you imagine such nonsense?
Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop!
Shameless cursed losers!

NAIJASOM:


Igbo coup led by an anioma man. The same people you guys claim are not Igbos.

The list of the the coup plotter show some people from middle belt and southwest but it's still called an Igbo coup.

The counter coup was led by Igbos but it still called an Igbo coup.

Igbo civilians were massacred in the fake counter coup but no civilian group or tribe were massacred in the 7 other coups that followed.

Aburi accord which simply tried to bring back back regional system was accepted by ojukwu but rejected by Nigeria. This rejection led to the war.

Yeye animal, the deltan involved in the coup plot were your Aniocha/Oshmili brethen who are ibos!
Bunch of losers!

orisa37:
Nigeria has 36 autonomous countries and each one of them has Rights to secede if it fights right. Let the Governor, the Chief Judge, the Speaker of the Assembly and the Chairmen of the state's local government present "Sworn Affidavits" to the three Tiers of Federal Government, that they agree to secede, Heaven and hell will approve. But this Biafra issue is funny. It is greedy and corrupt, as no responsible member of that area is openly willing to support the irresponsibility of a common N. Kalu. Now that he has been arrested, let him rust and roast in a hell in a cell till he cannot be given free meal, then bring him out and have him beheaded isis style. The Bible says spare the rod and spoil the child. Nigeria will be spoiling our future generation if we spare corrective punishment for the likes of N. Kalu. Even the U.N. hasn't got the Power to deny Nigeria the rights to discipline her own sons and daughters, the Bible way. Unless the UN, US, UK, and EU are sponsoring terrorism and trying Nigeria in Nigeria.

baboons and monkeys where do u belong

Nigeria is made up of 5 regional groups

3] West(Oduduwa)
This one is a collection of all yoroboid tribes lying in the Western parts.the capital is at Ife
4] East(Biafra)
This is a collection of all Igboid and Ibibioid tribes lying to the East. The capital is at Enugwu
5] South(Delta league)
This is a collection of all Edoid and Ijoid tribes lying between the East and West. The capital is at Bini

PenSniper:



But his views is to the point.
Nigeria can't make a single nation but a confederation of nations at best. Otherwise, she is bound to break up someday. The component ethnicities that make up Nigeria haven't got the pedigree to jointly make it a nation.
Whatever anyone may say, am praying very hard for the biafra project to succeed and that's not saying am Ibo but just believe this country must split.
No one needs a crystal ball to know that a century-old experiment that ended in hopelessness and more dis-unity than it started has no future.

Nigeria is a fraud

I completely agree. I read about the 1964 elections and how it was brazenly rigged. The mayhem that came after that. I believe that a confederation would have been the best option however, it would have still led to secession. Personally, I don't think there's any hope for Nigeria. It will disintegrate and I believe that Buhari will be a major catalyst towards this

I am quite relaxed. There is no big deal in being a coup plotter.

It is the way Igbos believe they were not allowed to form their country that is insulting and annoying to our sensibilities. You initiated a reaction that snowballed into a full scale war and you are still accusing others.

If there was no coup of January 1966, definitely there will not have been the pogrom of July 1966 and we won't be here talking about one stup1d Aburi Accord and the unfortunate Biafran war.

have u forgotten the progrom of 1945 u daft u see y I hate yorubas with passion what is to come ll cost a lot believe it or not yoruba yoruba u ll cry blood as for the fooolanis. I Laugh as usual they ll say its chest beating but what's to come hmmmm hmmm!

1966 killing spree of yours was in retaliation for the 1945 pogrom? If it was, you should have limited your killings to only Hausas/Fulanis.
