IGBOS were first VCs in yoruba land because they are more intelligent, more educated n more qualified than yorubas... grin



There is nothing else to say with a daft bigoted tribalist.
Ibos call people names that should be hung on their necks....bigots,betrayers,slaves,cowards,backstabbers etc.

Everybody,even Azikiwe knew that Ibos cannot compete with Yoruba,so he used the influence of NCNC to put his people almost everywhere.
The civil service dominated by the Ibos became one of the worst in the world while Yorubas' civil service prospered and became the envy of every nation.
I have read the history of Nigeria severally and got to know that Nigeria would have been better but for the Ibos who ruined everything with their long throats.

You ooze so much ignorance! Nigeria gained independence in late 1960 and only fully weaned herself of British overlordship in 1963 when it became a republic with Nnamdi Azikiwe becoming the first president of a truly independent Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the Queen stopped being head of government.

Now, even the army only had its first Nigerian commander in 1965 when Maj Gen (Sir) Christopher Welby-Everard passed the mantle to J.T.U Aguiyi Ironsi. Our first crop of officers were never trained in Nigeria; from Bassey (NA/1), Ironsi (NA/2), down to the level of Ojukwu, Gowon etc - even Kaduna Nzeogwu and his mates (who were babies in the army then) were trained in Great Britain, Ghana, U.S. etc. Now, the question is: how could an army, largely supervised by Great Britain up to around 1965, have had the distraction of abhoring and nurturing renegades who wanted to take over power for their ethnic nationality? C'mon, at that point, it was an outright impossibility to even give thought to such an idea.

The crisis in the Western region occasioned by the toppling of Awolowo, the promulgation of martial law in the Western region, imposition of S.L. Akintola and imprisonment of Awolowo for high treason by the Tafawa Balewa-led central government, led to total breakdown of law and order. It came at a time the world was looking with keen interest to see how the new black nation would fair under self-rule, and the reality could not have been more embarrassing! The junior officers, Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, Ademoyega and co., had cause to strike.

Now, you sold yourself out as an ignorant - grossly uninformed - fellow when you submitted that Ojukwu planned the coup! In the circle of the enlightened, that is an unpardonable bullshit! You would be booted out for that crass display of buffoonery! I won't say more on this, as it would amount to giving airtime to bullcrap.

Now you talked about Ore and the 'attack' on Yorubaland. True to type, another bullshit! The Federal Government of Nigeria attacked Biafra first; it shot down all avenues opened up for peace and stability - it killed Aburi. What the Eastern region did was to defend and fight back for dear survival - it never really was ready for a war.

Lagos was the capital of Nigeria then, and as such, Lagos and every corridor that led to its gates were a viable and justifiable target. If you were not a simpleton, you would have known that in war, the first target that lights up is the capital or central armament depot of the opposing force. Were you expecting the Biafran forces to match on Maiduguri? The push towards Lagos had nothing to do with the Yorubas or anybody; it was as a matter of reflex.

If the federalist had stopped the attack on Eastern Nigeria and its peoples, commencing in Kano and other parts of the North down to the East itself, the war would have ended naturally!

The world would be saner if uninformed folks like you stopped tendering warped and buffoonish opinions in areas where you know nothing about - this is too rampant in Nigeria! It is a 'crime' to talk where your knowledge is weak or lacking!

Get out of my face!

The push towards Lagos was reflex abi. Ojuiku told you in the dream it was reflex. Well what you guys got after passing your boundary was reflex. So stop crying and wailing.

Reflex kill you there...

"...The Igbo are more competitive than the Hausa and the Yoruba. The Hausa and Yoruba bourgeoisie are afraid of this, in particular when there is so much to share in Nigeria. They are afraid of the Igbo because they are not competitive. Igbo are more competitive because they don’t have inhibition. The inhibition of Hausa, the inhibition of Yoruba is not there. The Yoruba can only talk of Oduduwa, the Hausa can only talk to you about empires and so on. But the Igbo are not that inhibitive, they are more republican. You can say largely that Igbo are free thinkers; they are more free thinkers than the Hausa and the Yoruba, which means Igbo can take things on face value, while the Yoruba and Hausa will not. Igbo are more competitive in terms of economic activities. An Igbo man is more competitive than a Yoruba man and an Hausa man" Balarebe Musa

Igbos should be talking more on removing this old discrepit bridge that brings back horrible memories of Nigeria/ Biafra's sordid past. I have known this bridge since I was a child and have crossed it uncountable times but i never knew about it's notorious history. Just posting this topic has further excercebated those horrible old ethnic wounds and it seems like we are once again rekindling and stoking the fire of hatred and resentment here in Nairaland. The blood of fallen soldiers and innocent civilians who fought on both sides to defend this bridge will always cry for justice. That's the shocking reality of the failures that still make our nation ungovernable. There is nothing in the anals of igbo history (wether igbo from mid Western region or those of the Eastern regions or of Nigeria as a whole) that promotes the legend of what this bridge portends to the present and future generations in retrospect in building a people who are forgiving and caring and more importantly, have love for each other regardless of tribal, religious or etnic boundaries.
Re: Onitsha Niger Bridge In 1967 And 2019 (Photos) by Ritchiee: 9:26am On Apr 15, 2019
Ibos brought tribalism,nepotism,betrayals,backbiting and all negativities into Nigeria's polity but they cry the loudest.
Read this excerpt:

The Recognition of Igbo Culture


Newspapers and popular stereotypes
Since the beginning of the twentieth century,
Nigeria had already had a very lively local
newspaper industry largely owned by Nigerians.
Most of these newspapers were published in
English. The classic studies of the development of Nigerian politics claim that the reports in
these papers strengthened popular stereotypes.
28
The studies emphasize that the reporting in the
newspapers focused on the differences between
the Nigerian groups and fanned ethnic hatred
and distrust in the interest of their editors' political ambitions. In particular, attention was given
to the rivalry between on the one hand Igbo
politician Nnamdi Azikiwe, owner of the
West
African Pilot
and a number of regional newspapers, a
nd on the other his Yoruba adversaries
with their own newspapers. As a result there was a loose association of the
West African Pilot
as an Igbo paper, and the
Daily Times
and
Daily Service
as Yoruba papers.
Newspaper reporting was influential. By the
1930s the Nigerian newspapers were fairly
widely read. In 1937, the
West African Pilot
had a daily circulation of 9,000 copies, while the
other main newspaper, the
Daily Times
, sold 5,900 copies.
29
By this time the newspaper
industry which had initially developed in Lagos
had begun to spread to other urban centres
such as Ibadan in the west, Kano and Zaria in
the north, and Onitsha, Aba, Port Harcourt and
Calabar in the east,
30
and taken together the regional newspa
pers had a larger audience than the
national papers.
31
The readership of the newspapers was not limited to Lagos and the
provincial headquarters, and incl
uded people in the smaller towns
and villages in the Igbo area.
In the Abakaliki Division (in the east of the Igbo area) in 1940, English medium Nigerian
newspapers were widely read by the literate Africans.
32
The reporting from the newspapers
was also recycled. Not only were the papers them
selves read by more people, their contents
were also passed on to illiterates by literate read
ers. Therefore, the newspapers reached many
more people, all over Nigeria, than
the circulation figures would suggest.
At a number of crucial moments the Nigerian
newspapers clashed,
accusing each other of
painting a particularly negative picture of other ethnic groups. One such moment was the 1942

Fred Omu,

(New Jersey and Harlow 1978) 57, 87. It is difficult to
establish the development of newspaper
readership, since circulation figures are scarce. By 1954, the major newspapers
had the following (official) circulation figures:
West African Pilot
: 10,000;
Daily Service
: 12-14,000;

Dmitri van den Bersselaar
split between Azikiwe and the NYM. Although th
is struggle was mainly over personal and
local issues, and not about ethnicity, Azikiwe's
West African Pilot
began to present the NYM
both as Yoruba and as the political enemy (see illustration). The
Pilot
showed similar hostility
to the Yoruba cultural organization Egbe Omo Oduduwa immediately upon its formation in
1946,
33
repeatedly portraying the Egbe Omo Oduduwa not so much as a cultural organization,
but as a vehicle for the NCNC's political enemies; enemies who happened to be Yoruba.
34
The
Daily Service
accused Azikiwe and the
Pilot
of ethnic stereotyping and stimulating ethnic
tensions, pointing out that `Before the advent of Dr. Azikiwe on Nigeria's political horizon,
there was hardly any trace of
anti-Yoruba feeling among the
Ibos. The virus of tribal
aggression was injected
by the learned Doctor.'
35
In the
Daily Times
it was noted that `no
organisation sponsored by the Yorubas will ever
have the support of the Ibos except it first
receives the blessing of Zik or there is the po
ssibility of its being dominated by the Ibos'.
36
While denying being anti-Yoruba, the
Pilot
repeatedly accused the Action Group and allied
newspapers of furthering anti-Igbo sentiments,
portraying Action Group leader Awolowo as an
`enemy of Ibos'.
37
In 1948 the colonial government accu
sed the newspapers of furthering
`tribal animosity', warning them that: `Should the
controversy be continued in a form likely to
exacerbate inter-tribal feelings Government may
be compelled to seek powers to exercise a
measure of control over the press'.
38
However, to focus solely on those moment
s when rivalry and accusations were rife,
would be to present a one-sided image of the Nigerian newspaper industry. Often, the
newspapers' tone was conciliatory, such as in this front page message entitled `Ibo-Yoruba
Friendship', from the
Pilot
:
In yesterday's editorial entitled `Macpherson,
Foot & Co. Must Go,' an unfortunate
expression gave impression that the `Yorubas
flared up against the Ibos.' The correct
statement should have been that the `Yorubas a
nd Ibos were flared up against each other.' We
regret the unfortunate impression created, especially at this time when well-meaning Yoruba
and Ibo leaders are working hard toward
s harmonious relations
hips and friendship.
39
On a different note, the
Pilot
wrote about the advantages of inter-tribal marriage, arguing that
`the more the Yorubas and the Cameroonians or the Ibos and the Hausas, for instance, inter-
marry, the more these couples of tribes will be closely united.'
40
Therefore, the editorial
concluded, `we recommend it to the youths of this country.' This theme was repeated several
times, for instance in a front page article
entitled `Southerner from Maiduguri denies that
33
Sklar,

69-70.
34
See for example: N. O. Bandele, `Searchlight on N.Y.M. representative council',

3 January 1949.
The main item in the
Pilot
's 14 August 1951 issue was a report accusing

41
The borrowing of aspects of culture from other
tribes was also encouraged: `it will be worthwhile
if a tribe, in doing away with any out of date
customs would borrow from another tribe in Nigeria, a similar one which meets with the
times.'
42
What is worth noting, is that while in the villages and towns in the southeast the term
`Igbo' was not commonly employed, the newspapers had no problems talking about the Igbo
when referring both to migrants from the southeast to cities in the west and north, and, in a
very loose sense, when referring to
southeast Nigeria in general. The
Daily Times
, for instance,
refers to `the Ibos in the east'.

Why didn't the Jan.15 '66 coup by mostly military officers from the East include casualties from the region like it did in the North, West and Mid-West?

No wonder they call you traders.How have you been able to compete with Yorubas in anything other than trading which any mumu can do.
Ibos are mainly traders and they have the population to overwhelm a few traders from other ethnic group but Yorubas are almost evenly distributed in all endeavors.
Trading does not build or develop a nation but industries do.The IGR and banking transactions in Igboland are one of the lowest in Nigeria in recent times.
The only way Ibos can compete with Yorubas is to use fraud as in WAEC etc.
Yorubas have massive industries unlike Ibos,so Ibos cannot compete.
Yorubas surpassed Ibos in music,entertainment,so Ibos cannot compete.
Yorubas surpassed Ibos in technology,ICT,so Ibos cannot compete.
Yorubaland is more developed than Igboland,so Ibos cannot compete.

Yorubas have the greatest and best black mathematicians in the world,so Ibos cannot compete.

Yorubas have 3 Nobel Laureates....Wole Soyinka,Anthony Adegbulugbe,Akinwunmi Adeshina unlike Ibos,so Ibos cannot compete.
Yorubaland is the most industrialised unlike Igboland,so Ibos cannot compete.
Only Ibadan is more developed than Igboland in infrastructures,so Ibos cannot compete.

Boko haram is an internal affair, even america with all their weapons it took years to defeat Al quada, they are not even gone self talkless of Nigeria.


That time Nigeria have no jet nor even ship to fight, they were like 20 in africa talking about military might now they are third, my dear forget that your fantasy.

i am just stating facts..... I don't support the Biafran cause unless things get extreme, but i tell you it would take just a mistake from the Nigerian government for Biafra to materialize.....

yeah the counter coup was inevitable bcoz loved ones of those killed (northern leaders)by the coup plotter (igbo majors) will seek for the blood of their kinsmen,and who started the blood shed it's the igbos... thanks

Igbo Majors like Adewale Ademoyega abi?

Even if the counter-coup was necessary was the genocide of Murtala/Taiwo at Asaba necessary?

I kid you not, no terrorists group would survive on American soil, that is if they operate the way BH are doing..

Stop the empty chest beating on NL. If anything happens, the fight won't be on NL and I can get you MF will hide your lazy was somewhere crying ICC and international community. You have been bragging all along and did nothing.

Ok if you get mind repeat 1966 genocide against igbos and see how long your one Nigeria will last. You succeeded in 1966 when the rest of the world was blind to what was going on. The British also helped you hide it back then with their own media and propaganda.

The world has changed a lot since then.
