Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has stated the Nigerian State committed genocide, ethnic Cleansing, and mass murder against the Igbos during the Nigerian Civil War.

He also said the country will not know peace unless it apologise to the Igbo communities for the atrocities committed against them.

He said, “Nigeria must offer an unreserved apology to the Igbo people of the SE for the genocide,ethnic cleansing and mass murder that was unleashed on them during the civil war. 3 million Biafran were slaughtered(1 millon of them children) in the space of 3 years during that conflict.”

Igbos should apologise for destroying Nigerian democracy by implementing the first and bloodiest military coup in Nigerian history in 1966, an ethnic-based purge which ended the First Republic and led to the downward spiral that culminated in civil war.

You just cannot wake up and go and kill the Prime Minister, regional governors etc, all from the other regions, while letting your own Igbo leaders off scot-free, and then when the nation reacts in anger, you claim to be the victim.

This Fani Kayode fool should go and read the history of that period, because in his slavish, pathetic zeal to please Igbos, he seems to have forgotten what led up to the conflict, and the strong Igbo hand in it.

Ironsi was BEGGED by the entire country for almost a whole year, to bring the coup plotters to justice in order to prevent retributive violence against Igbos. He REFUSED to do so. Meaning the country should just accept that some Igbo officers can just wake up and go and kill the leaders of the other regions, plus the Prime Minister, and walk scot-free.

I honestly don't know what was going through the heads of Igbos of that period. They must have thought they were superior to other Nigerians.

It's no surprise that that period ended in a civil war. Asking the country to apologise to Igbos now is really insulting.

Nice one!

What i’m reading is that you’re saying it’s ok to blame the entire Fulani for the evil actions of Buhari and the herdsmen!

Don't be stupid. If a few years back, Fulani military officers of the Nigerian army had gone and killed the governors of the Igbo and Yoruba states, including President Jonathan, and spared all their own Fulani leaders, and then the incoming Fulani-led FG refused to arrest those murderous officers, OF COURSE there would be mayhem, and a vicious backlash against Fulanis nationwide. And nobody would be surprised. Why should it be different in the case of Igbos? Was it not Achebe who wrote that ''the man that brings ant-infested fagg.ots into his hut should not grumble when lizards begin to pay him a visit''?

Their Rubbish Apology Won't Bring Those 3million Souls They Wasted To Life,,so Na Wash!!

Sorry, who is rendering the apology on behalf of 'Nigeria'? Ike Ekweremadu or Rochas Okorocha?


Are you really sure you need an apology from Nigeria or Hausa Fulani?

Nigeria should do that... and restructure the country once and criminalize tribalism

But the chairman of the panel at that time was general Gowon, why blame Ironsi.

Don't be silly. Ironsi was the Head of State in a military regime. He called the shots.

E be like say mama Aragon body don stale...FFK is ready for new and fresh Ibo t0t0. Oniranu!

My point exactly. Because you're stupid and dumb, you think everything in life revolves around money. Oya come and use your money to get Nigerians to ''apologise'' to you. Ewu.

Guy without money you are fuuukin dead.
My late dad was a trader, he went to Congo Kinshasha in the sixties and made a lot of money shuttling between Congo , Gabon and the Camerouns, he came back to Nigeria in the eighties and built ten four storey buildings in Onitsha, today we the children are really enjoying, we don't have financial problems like you, so, stop insulting traders and stop hating Igbo's because the are better than you, they have businesses in every corner of the earth, while you are suffering. Come to our villages and see mansions everywhere. Sorry.

vanunu:

No you're not. There are many people in the village right now who have little or no money, but are self-sufficient, and are far happier and content than you.

Yawwwnnnn. The trouble with people like you is that you cannot see the world beyond your own narrow experience. There are people in this country who have made twenty times what your father made, simply by setting up a website.

Oh, and there's no place called ''Congo Kinshasha''.

In the sixties it was common to use Kinshasha and Brazzaville to differentiate the two Congo's, so go and drink garri, poor man.

Now you agree that those officers who are Igbos from delta state are Igbos pls continue to agree.

Dont try to claim tomorrow that Igbos from Delta state are not igbos when it comes to news that are not favourable to you.

Some of you are so senseless sometimes

This one go go smoke and start to dey press their button
Werey oni Gbana

Apology ko, apolitic ni

Was it not his father Fani power that betrayed Akintola to the coup plotters in January 1966?
You would think he loves the Ibos, but just know he's desperately looking for more wailers to support him during his up coming corruption trial

They introduced political assassination after just 10 yrs of the country's existence. The cold blooded murder of Sardauna and Akintola and others still hurts till today. And the ripple effects continue till now.They brought out the monstrous side of the northerners and that has affected even the north itself

Ibos then truly had a strong domination agenda/plan hatched by their big men. and they didn't even hide it well...they regretted it. During and after the war the propaganda was powerful with even foreign advertising companies hired and masterful authors like Achebe involved in fashioning the picture of an oppressed people just trying to be left alone. Many fell for that propaganda which made them blameless victims trying to leave a country in order to survive their hostile enemies. However the truth is they were the ones that started the hostility and they provoked the pogroms

The only apology they might (and that's a big might) deserve is for some acts contrary to rules of war as regards .POWs , rape, excessive force etc on the battlefield and the issue of change of currency after the war as well as the pogroms in the north..but that would be after they apologize for staining the destiny of our young nation with innocent blood in the name of power grab.

Many fell for the propaganda of the "victimized" ibos including Fela, and it seems Ffk foreign media etc. especially with the pics of the suffering children but the facts are there if u check well.

Also Biafra was an attempt, after failure of snatching political power via the coup, to grab economic power in form of the just discovered giant oil fields of the niger delta.

I hate to hurt feelings of Ibos on this sensitive topic but I would urge them to abandon the evil mind of their fathers and lets live in peace n love.

In the documentary of the war an Ibo man said himself that the war was Gods judgement upon the Ibos

Thank you. I am an Igbo person, but I will always tell the truth. I am not blinded by ethnic bias. What confirmed that the 1966 coup was an Igbo attempt to place themselves above other Nigerians was the refusal by the Ironsi regime to arrest the coup plotters, and the total silence of the Igbo intelligentsia in the face of that screaming injustice.

If such a thing happened in the other way round, no Igbo person would accept it. But somehow Igbos expected Nigerians to quietly accept the murder of their regional leaders plus Prime Minister? That says a lot about the narcissism of the Igbo collective.

Turantula:

How many herdsmen have you arrested? Nzeogwu and co. killed about 10 at most, but herdsmen kill hundred per day, so we should kill 30 million fulanis isn't it?

You are a born liar, like your father, the devil. Herdsmen do NOT kill ''100 per day''. That is a bare faced lie from the pits of hell. Telling lies will get you nowhere.

Secondly, you must be absolutely batshit crazy to place the murder of ordinary citizens on an equal footing with the murder of political leaders in terms of the predictable pubic reaction. You must really believe, like your ignorant and stupid forbears did, that Nigerians are dumb and easily hoodwinked. Why not go and kill President Buhari, and when they ask you, you can start counting the numbers killed by herdsmen and ask ''is Buhari not just one person?'' STUPID MUMU.
