Quote from: sbeezy8 on Today at 03:14:53 AM In 1948, Abubakar Tafewa Balewa attended Nigeria Executive Council meeting for the first time northern Nigeria was represented, he (Abubakar) had this message from Ahmadu Bello, “ I come to warn southern Nigeria who behave as though they want to dominate Nigeria’s politics, especially the Igbos, who pour into the north as invaders and not as visitors. If the Igbos continue to pour into the north as invaders, we (north) shall be compelled to dip the Quran into the sea”. Thanks sbeezy8 for the above quote. I love it. @Komando, so u get along fine with the North,huh. No wonder, they have been killing you people as far back as 1953. Your fathers have really filled your heads will BS. And forgot about defending Nairaland, try defending your people if you can. When confronted with superior arguments, you resort to gutter language. Its your stock in trade so am not surprised. I refuse to descend into the gutter with you but will be here, no shaking, ready to punch holes in all your mind-bogglling lies. keep it coming. hear the man, "the North loves the igbos"! Of course, they do ke!! That must have been why they started the pogrom after their revenge coup! i can't believe you actually wrote the above quote, gosh, head shaking! U ought to donate ur brain to prosperity, |

T9ksy: Did you consciously write this conjectural crap? I hope you do not commit suicide with this self-indictable endeavor. If the coup was not crushed as Ironsi had stated, why would coup plotters on their way to Ghana? Were they going to Ghana for military assistance or safe hideout? |

T9ksy: Ignorance is bliss. Also, an ill-educated person is worse than illiterate. At least, I think an illiterate is redeemable. If both of you ( sbeezy8 and T9ksy) did not understand the smoke screen from the statement accredited to Tafawa Balewa, you are worse than your forbearers who never tried to stop Balewa but helped him carry the Quran to Atlantic through Lagos. Northern region and Balewa tried to confiscate the National Bank owned by WNDC, the attempt was stopped by an Igbo judge who ruled against Tafawa Balewa government. The Balewa government took over western region of Nigeria with help of Yoruba sons and squashed any opposition by hauling Awolowo to prison. I should remind you that Yoruba was Chief Justice of the Republic of Nigeria, Attorney-General, Chief Judge of the High Court and chief government prosecution witness as Awolowo, his cronies and western region of Nigeria was dealt a political knockout blow in 1962. The high-powered government operatives of Balewa government had planed to send Awo to the Nigerian Prison in Bauchi so that the northern region will put a finishing touch to Awo’s already broken soul. An Igbo jurist intervened to have Awo send to Nigerian Prison in Calaber in eastern region of Nigeria where Quran could not reach. The Igbo chap had known the Awo was a born backstabber and treacherous political artist, he would allowed the Balewa to finish off Awo in1962. |

Dede1: Everyday you sound crazier than the previous and you consider yourself highly educated right. An igbo jurist, an igbo jurist as if legal judgements are based on the ethnicity of the judge!!! You are one of the ill educated people you rant about. |

Dede, r u blind and can't u read? Major General Ironsi admitted to us that he had been unable to suppress the rebellion, was that true? At that particular moment, the coup was practically over in the south.which he said was getting out of hand.What was "getting out of hand"? 95% of the coupists were already in jail whilst the rest have escaped to neighbouring countryAnother blatant lie by the GOC. Who were the mutineers in charge of Ibadan? Cap. Nwobosi, the leader of the Ibadan group and his men were all arrested on arrival at dodan barracks at 0700hrs on the morning of jan. 15th, 1966. Infact, by 0700 hrs on that same day (15th jan., 1966), the coup had all but failed in the south but here we have the GCO misinforming the cabinent ministers on the 16th of Jan. at 1830hrs that he had been unable to suppress the rebellion. Posted by: Dede1 If the coup was not crushed as Ironsi had stated, why would coup plotters on their way to Ghana? Were they going to Ghana for military assistance or safe hideout? Dede, Ironsi did not state that he HAD CRUSHED THE COUP RATHER HE LIED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO CRUSH THE MUTINEERS. WHICH PART OF HIS LIE DO YOU FIND DIFFICULT TO GRAPPLE WITH? |

Quote from: Dede1 on Today at 01:46:56 PM If both of you did not understand the smoke screen from the statement accredited to Tafawa Balewa, you are worse than, Smokescreen ke? that's how everybody perceives u guys - as visitors who erronously think they are invaders. How many more igbos do the northerners have to kill before it sinks into ur skull that no one trust you guys? @tnx Komando, i stand corrected. Anyway, hope u do as i suggested, Mr. Hausa/fulani bosom pal. |

T9ksy: I guess you should endeavor to write your story on what you know about era in discuss and stop coping and pasting disjointed and conjectural craps with no intellectual value. Please if you have intention to copy and paste article, I suggest you do so with full context of the piece showing the chronicle order of events. If you can not produce easy out of your knowledge of the facts, please stop making a fool out of your self. I really wonder if you can see and read. Even your endeavors are self-deprecating. for example, coup stated in night of Jan 15, 1966 and yet your post had stated that “by 0700hrs of Jan 15, 1966 the coup has but failed in south”. Keep digging to safe face from unfounded cowardice. |

After many days of hate this thread is still a few pages. This shows that negative articles are not popular on nairaland. Compare this to were the Alaigbo thread was in the same number of days. |

Posted by: Dede1 I guess you should endeavor to write your story on what you know about era in discuss and stop coping and pasting disjointed and conjectural craps with no intellectual value. Soory Dede, I know how you 're loathe to read and the info is quite voluminous. Oh well, here it is . Happy reading. http://www.gamji.com/nowa/NEWS1103.htm I really wonder if you can see and read. Even your endeavors are self-deprecating. for example, coup stated in night of Jan 15, 1966 and yet your post had stated that “by 0700hrs of Jan 15, 1966 the coup has but failed in south”. Keep digging to safe face from unfounded cowardice. Hab, old boy , take it easy now. The coup started at 0200hrs on Jan 15th, 1966 and by 0700hrs of the same day, it was practically over in the south. |
