I don't think this is the time to instigate violence rather let's promote peace,we all need it.

Ooni:
continue telling people lies and half truths. The major problem that resulted to the civil war was not even the killing of ironsi and co. But an organised terrorism in which every northerner participated in killing of armless ibos in the guise of pogrom. If the coup ended in a counter coup the civl war would have occurred. But i am sure the north and middle belt are paying for it. u think all these killings happening in Nigeria today is for fun? North re killing themselves in guise of terrorism while also extending their 'friendship' to middle belt through the herdsmen, and occassionary southwest

Northern nigeria is the only place in the world today were a group of pple are massacaring their own pple for no established reason nd u think it is ordinary?

I only fear for my yoruba pple

jpphilips:


First you can never know a twisted fact when you are bereft of the fact, Jpphilips don't write for people like you with negative integer IQ, you may read my signature again, here I have learnt that every looser now has a voice on the internet, no thanks to Seun's Nairaland.

DMerciful:
You are spot on! I have always maintained that what is happening in the north is retribution for the 1966 pogrom! They have killed about 20+ thousand of their people and it will only stop when it gets to 30thousand equivalent to the number of igbos killed in d north before the civil even started!

Ooni:
ur brain is such a vacuum that u re ready to thank a liar for feeding u with the obvious. Go nd read ur history sincerely and discover that the name 'ibo coup' was a continuation of pre-coup ibophobic atmostphere which pervaded the political system. Ibos were relatively prosperous and controlled almost all sectors through hard work and merit. Academia business civil service and army. Northerners and yorubas sought for way to cut ibos to size. Remeber sarduanas speech about ibo domination, also akintolas speech about same (they re all on youtube)

remember majority of senior army officers were ibos. If there was goin to be coup and resistance the would naturally come from ibos and that was exactly what happened. But because there was already deep fear, hate and jealously against ibos, the nomencleture of ibo coup was an attempt to psychologically prepare themselves towards the elimination of their obstacle-ibos!
The nazi style genocide that followed showed ibophobia was behind everything.

Let us tell ourselves the truth

pick a good history book nd read and stop listening to liars. The same lie that has kept nigeria from moving foward.

theDEVILisHERE:
The events of 1966 was just the final result of a carefully orchestrated genocide planed by the demonic british aided by their black african slaves

Remember the aim of the british demons is to wipe out all jews, from those in the eastern region of Nigeria all the way to ethiopia, the middle east and Afganistan (Yes AFGANISTAN)

Let me tell you this, you are on the internet not your village where majority of your uneducated lots form associations of high nuisance value. Going by your logic,
If Boko haram is retribution for the 66 genocide, her sister Sunni Terrorist group Al shabab is retribution for??
Her Parent Al Qaeda bombing America's interest is retribution for 66 too abi? ISIS is probably retribution for your father's inability to use a condom hence the nuisance value you have on the cyber space, Nasura front is another retribution for your mother's inability to have an abortion when a foetus like you formed without a brain.
You dare rejoice over people's misfortune you brainless newt.

kettykin:
Igbo military officers were caught napping big time, that was why they lost power and that was why there was a progrom. If they had sat up their asses, dealt with traitors and saboteurs and enforced an absolute totalitarianism there wouldn'thave been any counter coup

raumdeuter:
Because the coup plotters in one were dealt with properly while the 1966 plotters were treated with kids gloves

mightyhazel:
dat is why dere was a pogrom,....?

Dats d reason ova 50thousand easterners were butchered all over the north and southwest?

U guyz are unbelievable!

raumdeuter:


Yes that's why.

You killed other people's leaders sparing yours. What were you expecting

mightyhazel:
smh!

So ,...following ur v sick logic,if som1 from ur village commits murder,it will be justified if ur whole village is wiped out.
Sick!

raumdeuter:


If someone from my village kills people and the man from my village who is head of state (Ironsi) fails to bring him to justice then the people killed have a right to do anything

If you kill my father and nothing was done to you. I'll kill everyone in your village

mightyhazel:
clap 4 yourself!
Killiwe nwachukwu!


So wot wud have averted the bloodshed was killing off the coup plotters dat voluntarily handed demselves over and were already languishing in various. Jails,awaitin punishments abi?
Tell me anywhere in the world where killers are tried and killed off within 5months.


I can't bliv am evn havin dis discussions wit u.


U shd be talkin 2 a psychoanalyst,...given ur mental state,...

And dis is a candid advice!

raumdeuter:


How long did it take ojukwu to kill Ifeajuna and Victor banjo. How long did it take obasanjo to try and kill Dimka and Bisalla. How long did it take IBB to kill Mamman Vatsa or Gideon Orkar.

How many Arab bombed USA, how many Arab were killed as a result

mightyhazel:
apples and oranges,...

Arabs killed due 2 US invasion were purely collateral damage! Mostly cannon fodder used by same terrorists! They were never the targets of d US army! Unlike ur bloodthirsty brothers who positioned themselves in airports and railway stations hounding and killing off innocent passengers


Dese other coupists u. Mentioned were overpowered and caught!

The january '66. Coupists still held a good number of aces, but decided 2 turn demselves in to avert further bloodshed(dazz bound 2 be a difference) Not dat am tryn 2 hold any forte 4 dem.

But I tell ya,...justifying d 1966 pogrom on any platform is pure psychosis! I can only pity d ppl whose opinion u lead.

raumdeuter:


Those 3 million people killed in the war too were collateral damage and used as canon fodder by ojukwu. That's why the people starved to death while ojukwu and family were looking fresh and well fed

Coup plotters were caught just like the 1966. What ace do they have when they've been arrested. Well it serves them and their family right

I had a family member killed on January 15 1966 by these coupist and I'm glad and appreciate what was done to pay the people who carried out the January coup back. All those 3 million are collateral damages including the pogrom

It might equally interest you to note that a military court Martial of that nature at the time takes less than 3 months yet Aguiyi Ironsi blatantly refused to do the right thing.

Noneroone:
Those of u talking nonsense about the state sponsored genocide are plain shameless...they are big time shame to humanity. I was arguing with someone who said that God will remember nigeria. I told him God is already visiting nigeria and the country will only get worse until it crumbles. Nigeria can never get better! Mark my words. No nation live on lies and survives. Lie is a very big curse. Even the bible says that liars will never prosper and nigeria will never prosper.

A nation whose present political structure was founded on genocide running to God to make it prosper with the very foundation God despises is enough to piss God. U killed tens of thousands in a genocide, killed millions in a civil war, banned history in schools in east,banned the bight of Biafra, changed national anthem to reflect your deceptive political structure and continue to conspire to oppress a blessed pple. Yet same nigerians are the pple who claim to love God the most in the world. Nigeria will pile away under the weight of God's punishment and its already happening.

And for those who said the coup caused the genocide, i ask, did the jews in Germany carry out a coup in nazi germany before the genocide?. Did igbos in keshi 2012 nations cup team carry out a coup when they were branded 'Biafran 11' by yoruba and Hausas? These are just fear-induced hate, wickedness and jealousy.

Hitler, aryan supremacist only saw successful jews as obstacles to his racist agenda, just as sarduana saw Igbos as dominating. Germany paid for it by loosing power and prestige (un securiy council and her colonies) the prosperity they enjoy today is the result of some atonements they made. What is more, the Jews now have state of their own. Nigeria can never get better till it crumbles. No amount of fasting, prayer or prophesy can save it. Except the truth (which they re not ready to face). Doesnt it bother nigerians that they re the most pious country in the world yet the worst country in the world?

PFRB:


Yakubu Gowon was in charge of the investigation and he only submitted his report on the eve of the counter coup. Check this out.

jpphilips:


You speak from two sides of your mouth, You implied Nigeria will not prosper based on the foundation of its history on one side, on the other, you recognize that Germany that did worse is a prosperous nation.

jpphilips:


To justify your confusion, you claim that Germany did some form of atonement and I ask; Do you really understand the meaning of that word?

jpphilips:


if the Allied powers forced Germany to concede territories, pay for the cost of war and damages is atonement then you need to go back to school.
Germany only faced the consequences of defeat.

jpphilips:


The thread was clear on purpose as to why similar events resulted in different outcomes, some poor cranial processors have already derailed the thread by pushing sentimental remarks of justification, I wonder why English is so difficult for this hopeless indomie generation.

jpphilips:


Neither the coup nor the pogrom can be justified but then, that was not the subject of discourse.

jpphilips:


Except you work in God's office, you are not in any position to tell us which nation God will punish based on their history.

jpphilips:


[s] I made these clarifications based on last year's incident when Nnamdi Kanu ordered IPOB Aba branch to lynch Kumuyi in a bid to foil his crusade.

He spoke out of context, I was glad his orders were not carried out, why would Nnamdi Kanu give such an order?
Because he is as dumb as Aguiyi Ironsi.

In his broadcast that faithful morning, he was consistently referring to Kumuyi as a Yoruba man wearing his usual bigoted lens, he simply forgot that Kumuyi is not just a Yoruba man but also a spiritual leader.[/s]

jpphilips:


You dont harm people like that without consequence that is a fact but just like most Igbos who live a lie, they will focus on the consequences of their actions absent cause.

jpphilips:


If Nnamdi Kanu read any history, he would have known that the Lynching of Archdeacon Ferdinand in Austria -Hungary caused the first world War.

jpphilips:


And also the brutal murder of Ahmadu Bello a spiritual leader of the north led to the Pogrom that ensued.

jpphilips:


At least the political consequence of Jonathan's failure is starring them in the face, continue decieving yourselves and continue reaping the consequences.
life will always be a choice.

ur deadwrong boy!
Those 3m women and children were. Not collateral damage!
They were actually targetted by the lily livered nigerian army dat cud hardly face their opponents. So they call in egyptian fighter pilots to drop bombs from ilyushin jets on primary school pupils in schools;or little children on foodlines and evn dispensaries and churches were not spared!
Do u know that one benjamin adekunle of the nigerian 3rd division once boasted during d war that wen he moves in2 igbo territory,dat he wud shoot at moving objects,...and evn. Non moving ones? The same man said he doesn't want 2 see any redcross,caritas,world council of churches (and evn d pope himself) tryn 2 get food and medicines across to starvin kids,.... And u dare call d damage done collateral? No! These kids were actually targetted!

So keep on appreciating their deaths and misfortunes,..


Dats wot paranoid misantropes do!



Thank God there. Is no place 4 ur type in the modern world anymore.

raumdeuter:


If ojukwu came out to fight and wasn't hiding under women and children there wouldn't be much civilian casualties but ojukwu that was described as a cantankerous coward even by his father in law was dressing up like women eating fat while his country was in flames

He fled to Abidjan frolicking with women while his people starved to death.

Benjamin Adekunle that you mentioned. What a brave man. The destroyer of ojukwu. Adekunle was simply avenging the death of his elder akintola who was killed by ibo soldiers led by Nwobosi
For 1 akintola 1 million ibo had to pay for it.

Just like for 1 American killed several Arabs had to pay for it

God bless Benjamin Adekunle aka black scorpion

gists:
This is probably the most fo0lish thread ever. Trying to compare apples with periwinkles.
Like jpphillip said, how come there was no justice to the coup plotters when their kinsman became the "beneficiary" of the coup?
To make matters worse, the same Ironsi abolished the regional system and instituted a federal system which further strengthened the believe among the northerners that the igbos were on a campaign to dominate the country (it is left to you to decide whether or not that the north had a case to hold such believe). The same federal system started by an igbo man is what many are Igbos are complaining about today. The well-meaning igbos are forging ahead and marking everywhere they find themselves.

DMerciful:
You are spot on! I have always maintained that what is happening in the north is retribution for the 1966 pogrom! They have killed about 20+ thousand of their people and it will only stop when it gets to 30thousand equivalent to the number of igbos killed in d north before the civil even started!
