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!

Rossikk:


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.

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.

You’re one smug, deceitful, sanctimonious scumbag aren’t you!? Come down from that your high horse lemme punch your face in!

You bang on and on about ‘they did this....they did that’! Just who the hell are the ‘they’? If you’re referring to the plotters of the first coup, then fuc’king take it up with them and let us hear word! But if, as i suspect, you’re using this anti-Igbo thread as a means to vent your frustrations and bile on Ndigbo just because you’re a nasty bigot and that’s what nasty bigots do, then you have to tell us when and where Ndigbo voted to send Nzeogwu and co on such a stupid and senseless mission! What reason would Ndigbo as a group have to want to kill those that were killed and, as you accuse, take control of the entire country!? The Eastern Region was doing well for itself; was relatively peaceful; and oyel had been discovered in the region about a decade earlier (according to what we’ve been told....some reckon exploitation could have been going on long before this date), so what would propel Ndigbo in particular and the Eastern Region as a whole to want to put all this in jeopardy....does it make sense!? More so, when you consider the fact that Ndigbo knew just how the Fulani and Yoruba felt about us (well, the more sensible Ndigbo, at any rate)....there’s the words of their elite at the time to back up this assertion that the Fulani and a significant section of the Yoruba elite viewed Ndigbo in...shall we say, not such a favourable light! As a people, in retrospect we can say the likes of ‘one Nigeria’ Igbos like Kaduna Nzeogwu, Zik and Asika were a tad naive in placing ‘one Nigeria’ first before the interests of their own people or region! Their ‘nationalistic’ attitude stands in stark contrast to the attitude of the likes of Awo and the Sadauna who were more of ethnic champions and who viewed almost every action of Ndigbo with a healthy dose of suspicion and negativity! Igbo idealists like Zik and Nzeogwu are a huge part of the reason we’re where we are today as a people, and why we’re in a shithole of a country with bigots like you who’d stick a dagger in our guts given half a chance!

Notice how you so expertly heap all the blame of the wickedness and intolerance from the core muslim north at the door step of Ndigbo as a people...implying that, but for the Nzeogwu led coup, that the core northern muslim could have been the sweetest, kindest and most mellow set of angels you could ever hope to meet! Of course going by your argument, it stands to reason that these northerners also had a premonition of the Nzeogwu coup that was yet to come, and hence they went about slaughtering Igbos in the north in the 50s....and they still think of said coup till today and hence the justification for the continued slaughter to this day!

You said:

This above assertion of yours (which you’re taking as confirmed fact) would be laughable if it wasn’t so dangerously sick and evil! It shows just how you lot view Igbos....as a people coming to ‘dominate’ you, and hence you reckon all the bloodletting against them is justified! You see why i’ve given up on ‘one Nigeria’? You hateful and bloodthirsty bigots are far gone in your hate and bigotry for there to be anything to salvage from this country! Your negative sentiments towards Ndigbo are borne out of religious-inspired, rabid hate, envy, and an inexplicable desire to use any nefarious means possible to ensure you hold Igbos down by whatever means so they don’t surpass you....show you up for the failure you actually are, and leave you for dust! This then begs the question: if you despise Ndigbo this much, why hasn’t this hate translated into widespread support for Mazi Kanu and IPOB? Don’t you think support for IPOB (or any other secessionist group or agenda) would help hasten the exit of the ‘pesky nyamurees’ so you lot remaining can then have the country to yourselves and go ahead to form the first country of saints and angels who have an aversion to ‘dominating’ others!? If you accuse Igbos of wanting to ‘dominate’, pray tell, what then have the Fulani/core-muslim-north been doing from the late 60s to date (with a brief stoppage when OBJ and GEJ were president)!? Or is it only when the Igbos ‘dominate’ that it becomes a problem!?

Saying Biafra was an attempt at grabbing economic whatever after the attempt to grab power failed shows how desperately wicked and deceitful you are! I suppose you’re not aware of the fact the Nigerian state couldn’t guarantee the protection of lives and properties of easterners in the north at the time!? Probably, you’re not aware the Gowon gov’t reneged on the Aburi accord when Gowon and his gang went back to Nigeria and had a word with his Fulani masters who grabbed his copy of said accord and promptly chucked it in the bin!? Would there be any talk of Biafran war today if the Gowon gov’t succeeded in stopping the pogrom in the north....ditto, keeping to the accord agreement signed in Aburi, Ghana!? You people wanted to pull that stunt again with Cameroon over the Bakassi affair....thinking you could renege on your promise to hand over the peninsula if they helped with the implementation of the food/military blockade of Biafra, whose idea was dreamt up by Awolowo when it became apparent those plucky Biafrans weren’t the walkover you expected them to be!

Saying we should ‘abandon the evil whatever of our fathers’ is laughable! Between my fathers and yours, who has committed the most evil to the other? It would take us a thousand lifetimes to repay back even half the wickedness you slimeballs have shown us! What’s your ethnicity, lets see who’s ahead between the two ethnicities on the leaderboard! I dare you to mention your ethnicity!

One thing you forget is that there was TACIT Igbo backing of the coup. Not a whimper came from any Igbo person regarding the slanted nature of the targeted assassinations.

Were the coup plotters saying that all the Igbo leaders were clean, and the other ethnic group leaders corrupt?

Who gave them the authority to kill? If you had an issue with the ELECTED civiilian leaders, why not arrest and try them, and if found guilty, jail them? Why go around killing them?

And then when Ironsi came to power courtesy of the coup, the number 1 issue on Nigerians' minds was ''when will they arrest the killers of the Sardauna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello, Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa, and Akintola et al?''

Intense pressure was mounted on the Ironis regime from across Nigeria, to bring the killers to justice. This man did nothing. He just sat on it for nearly a year!

Can you imagine. And NONE of the Igbo intelligentsia joined in the national call for justice. They were all silent.

How did you expect Nigerians to interprete such deafening silence?

Complicity of course!

Then what happened? Northerners started targeting Igbos, leading to massacres.

Then Ojukwu, with his eyes on the massive, newly discovered oil fields in the Delta, said ''ah, they're killing us, they're killing us. We must secede from Nigeria!''

So, 3 million were killed because Ojukwu declared secession and engaged in war against the federal republic - an illegal act.

Would they not have been targeted? IDIOT. ABEG GET OUT OF MY FCKING SIGHT. If you don't like the truth, take a rope and hang yourself.

...

Then Ojukwu, with his eyes on the massive, newly discovered oil fields in the Delta, said ''ah, they're killing us, they're killing us. We must secede from Nigeria!''

In December 2009, I was at Aburi, while holidaying in Ghana. We Nigerians call it A-b-u-r-i, but the Ghanaians pronounce it as E-b-r-i. For those who have read widely about the civil war that we fought between 1967 and 1970, Aburi is a significant place. This was what I wrote about Aburi, after returning from that journey:

“Aburi. Beautiful, serene Aburi, set daintily atop a hill. It is home to abotanical garden that is 119 years old. But for us in Nigeria, Aburi goes beyond just nature and its preservation. It is the town where General Yakubu Gowon and Odumegwu Ojukwu met, to try and avert the Nigerian Civil War that lasted between 1967 and 1970. They came out with Aburi Accord, which later broke down. And a shooting war started. You could see the Presidential Lodge on a hill, where the Nigerian leaders had parleyed at the behest of Ghanaian leaders. It all ended in futility.”

As one of the key parties to the Aburi Accord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, returns to mother earth today, it is also apposite to return to Aburi, and look at the letter and the spirit of theaccord once again, an agreement that was violated by the Federal side, and which made a bloody internecine war inevitable. For most part of 1966, the northern part of Nigeria, particularly, had been turned to killing fields. Non-natives, especially Igbos, were killed in thousands. Many fled, many others were displaced. There was complete anarchy in the land. The average Igbo looked up to Lt. Col Odumegwu Ojukwu, military governor of the Eastern Region,to provide leadership and direction. He did not fail. He picked the gauntlet and championed the cause of his people.By January 1967, the drums of war were loud and clear, reverberating across the length and breadth of Nigeria. But there was a last ditch effort to prevent what was imminent. There was a peace meeting hosted at Aburi, in Ghana, by the then Ghanaian head of state, Gen J. A. Ankrah. At the meeting were Gowon, Ojukwu, all the military governors of the regions, and some top civil servants, both from the Federal side and the Eastern region. The meeting held on January 4 and 5, 1967, and came out with what is popularly known today as the Aburi Accord.

The agenda of the meeting consisted of three crucial issues:
(i) Reorganization of the Armed Forces
(ii) Constitutional agreement
(iii) Issues of displaced persons within Nigeria.

The two-day meeting reached consensus that were acceptable to both sides. Among others, it was resolved that legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government was to remain in the Supreme Military Council (SMC), to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided it is possible for a meeting to be held, and the matter requiring determination must be referred to military governors for their comment and concurrence. What does this mean in simple language? The SMC would run the affairs of the country, but not without consulting the regions as represented by the military governors. This was something akin to federalism, even under a military government.Other terms of the agreement include that appointments to senior ranks in the police, diplomatic and consular services as well as appointment to superscale posts in the federal civil service and theequivalent posts in the statutory corporations must be approved bythe SMC. What does this mean again in simple language? Equity, fairness, true federalism.Other matters like the holding of an ad hoc constitutional conference, fate of soldiers involved in the January 15, 1966 coup, rehabilitation of displaced persons, etc, were also amicably resolved, and the conferees returned happily to Nigeria.

Only for the Federal side to deliver a blow to the solar plexus: the Aburi Accord, Gowon said, was unworkable, and he reneged on all the agreements. Using the Eastern Nigerian Broadcasting Service, Ojukwu played the tape recording of the proceedings at Aburi repeatedly, to educate the populace on who was playing Judas. Later, he made a broadcast in which he said:

“we in the East are anxious to see that our differences are resolved by peaceful means and that Nigeria is preserved as a unit, but it is doubtful, and the world must judge whether Lt. Col Gowon’s attitudes and other exhibitions of his insincerity are something which can lead to a return of normalcy and confidence in the country. I must warn all Easterners once again to remain vigilant. The East will never be intimidated, nor will she acquiesce to any form of dictation. It is not our intention to play the aggressor. Nonetheless, it is not our intention to be slaughtered in our beds. We are ready to defend our homeland.”

In a piece I did last December, shortly after Ojukwu passed away, I said he was virtually pushed into war by the infidelity of the Federal side to the Aburi Accord. I still stand by that position. Ojukwu was called ‘warlord’ for many decades, but he was by no means a warmonger. He only did what he needed to do for his people–and for the country.As his earthly remains are interred today, it is tragic that Nigeria is still submerged in the morass that Ojukwu already identified about 45 years ago. Today, bombs go off like firecrackers in the country. There is agitation for the review of the revenue allocation formula. There are strident calls for the convocation of a sovereign national conference. Even some component parts are threatening to pull out of the federation if anything happened to their ‘son’ who is now in power. Didn’t Ojukwu warn of these landmines ahead? Were all these issues not already settled at Aburi?

Foremost journalist and media administrator, Akogun Tola Adeniyi, in a recent media interview, explained the Aburi Accord this way: “Let every region be semi-autonomousand develop at its own level.” Yes, that was the spirit and letter of Aburi, but which sadly became a road not taken. And is that not why we are still suffering today, living in a rickety and decrepit country that can burst at the seams any moment? I tell you, Ojukwu was a prophet, and like most prophets, he had no honour in his own country. Pity. But whether we like it or not, there’s no way we won’t return to Aburi. Willy-nilly. I only hope it will be sooner than later, before Nigeria goes to grief. On Aburi I stand.Federal Government was perfidious and duplicitous on Aburi. It is still the same way today. That is why as Nigerians, we are most times disillusioned, dismayed, dispirited, dejected and depressed. When will change come to this land? Our hearts are getting weary.

Last December, I wrote that Ojukwu should be buried like a hero. I’m glad at the rites of passage so far, culminating in the interment today. Yes, bury him like a true hero. An icon, an avatar, deserves no less. This generation will surely not see another like Ojukwu. He fought not only for his own people, but for a true federation founded on justice, fair play, equity and rectitude. Unfortunately, hedid not see the Nigeria of his dreams. Will we? Adieu the Ikemba, the Eze Igbo Gburugburu. May your soul rest in peace. Ka nkpur’obi gi zue ike n’adukwa.
