Another Igbo denigrating thread nutured to grow traffic. You lots are learners. Reasonable Igbos should not engage the OP and his cohorts. There was a time NL was very vital in debunking Igbophobic propaganda like the one this OP is propagating, but that's not the case now. There is facebook and other forums for that. Don't feed the troll. Every point the OP raised had been well debunked pm on this forum in the past, if as an Igbo you feel need to do same, then quote this post on social media, and then go about making a strong rebuttal, after which you can tag friends and circulate. Chikena. I repeat, don't feed the trolls, let them starve. 3 Likes |

gidgiddy: Now compare that to January 1966 coup that killed a Prime minister, and 2 Premiers, several military heads and ministers And coincidentally all the Ibos in power, were hosting foreign guests, on vacation or just forgotten |

gidgiddy: Story. Ironsi planted the "power grubbing" seed for selfish reasons...the North responded with their own upgrade! Whether "Northerners and their Yoruba cohorts" outdid their Igbo compatriots in "power play" is not the issue, the real "koko" is that Ironsi taught Nigeria how to use power solely to the benefit of their kinsmen. When you set a bad precedent and later complain that others did far worse is, frankly speaking, emotionally unintelligent...isn't revenge usually much worse than the original sin? 1 Like |

gidgiddy: Bro, go and read about Bako You don't even know what you are talking about. Was it the National Guard that killed Bako or the coup plotters? Moreover, if you still think these coups were bloodier than the January 1966 coup, then I can't go any further with you on this argument since your mischief is evident. |

gidgiddy: Beer parlor gossip!!! A misinterpretation of the Aburi Accord (which was inconclusive by itself) caused the Accord to fail. Ojukwu set the ball rolling with a Press conference in Enugu the day after he returned from Ghana. ‘It was unanimously agreed … that the Regions should move slightly farther apart than before,’ http://www.citypeopleonline.com/gowons-meeting-ojukwu-failed-stop-civil-war-details-aburi-accord-ghana/ That was how Ojukwu interpreted the decision of political structure. But was that the conclusion Aburi reached? It is in record that Ojukwu made the first press conference of the two, and Gowon did not agree with Ojukwu's interpretation of the agreement. The Accord did not break down because someone breached it; differing interpretation to a rather inconclusive decision caused the Aburi Accord to break down. Ojukwu interpreted the section of the Accord to suit his ambition. It is on record that he came to the meeting with so much arrogance and expectations and every attempt at a joke by Gowon was rudely rebuffed. Obviously, Ojukwu was looking beyond the Accord even though Gowon agreed to all his conditions, including moving Igbo soldiers from Northern barracks. It is safe to say that Ojukwu was condescending because he felt he could beat Gowon and Nigeria in a war, even though it turned out he had no weapons with which to prosecute a war. Stop blaming Gowon for the break down of the Accord. What would you have done if you were Gowon? You just came back from a meeting and the next day, Ojukwu has called a press conference and began to speak of something that appears like secession. |

gidgiddy: Bro, you are referring to the aftermath of the coup and not the coup itself. |

BluntBoy: I don't know why people like to argue from a point of ignorance. All of the above has nothing to do with the main issue. The main issue is that Ojukwu and Gowon signed a 12 point agreement in Ghana, generally referred to as the Aburi accord. One of the points of the Aburi accord was that Gowon would not change the structural arrangement of Nigeria unless all the 4 Regional Military Governors of the time approved it. On 27th May 1967, Gowon announced the abolishment of the 4 Regions and the creation of 12 states without the approval of any of the 4 Military Governors, in clear violation of the Aburi accord. So what is this arguement that Gowon did not break the Aburi accord? With the violation of Aburi accord, Ojukwu then declared the independence of the Eastern Region on the 30th of May. Of course, everybody knew that the reason Gowon abolished the 4 Regions was to implement the North's "divide and rule" strategy which they still use to control Nigeria to this day. Ojukwu was not prepared to accept that. |

gidgiddy: I have provided a link to one of many sources revealing that the Aburi Accord broke down due to misinterpretations on both sides of the conflict. You have not provided one single source. Even scholarly materials provide citations to strengthen their arguments. I called your talk beer parlor gossip for that very reason. |

aljharem:Chief of naval staff was Vice Admiral Joseph Edet Akinwale, Afonja from South West. Chief of defence staff wasn't in existence then, was formed in 1980. Go to school you won't. Half education is dangerous! |
