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!

joeyfire:


The coup plotters were all in detention. Even Ifeajuna who was hiding in Ghana was extradited by Ironsi's government.The Special investigation panel (SIP) headed by M.D. Yusuf ( northerner) which had the mandate to investigate the coup was set to submit its report when the counter coup and genocide started. At times it sounds like Ironsi was in power for years but he was there for four a few months

vanunu:


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

killsmith:
You and those who commented up there are idiots for blaming an entire tribe for the actions of few men.

Going by your logic, we can call the yorubas a tribe of cowards and traitors because of the actions of afonja, awolowo, brigadier ogundipe etc.

You're so blinded by hate that you cannot even recognise that you've lost your humanity. Over 3 million women and children were killed because of the action of a few men and look at the nonsense you're saying.


Tufiakwa unu!

valentineuwakwe:



Major Kaduna Nzeogwu was a south south man. ..not an igbo man, so read your history well

Xander85:


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!

MONIKERREVEALER:
the fact of the matter is that the real reason why the fulani junta shifted the democracy day from the 29th of May to the 12th of June is because of the successful carrying out of the 30th May biafra heroes day under the auspices of ipob over the years!!!

oh yes, you didn't know?! ipob is the only bone in the neck of the british-fulani owners of the zoo corporation and the rest of the wahala like boko (money spinner for the military-industrial complex), militants (easily settled with pipeline contracts), bandits (the new boko), kidnappers, ritualists, murderers, armed robbers, unemployment, poor healthcare, poor road network, hunger, mother/infant mortality, lowest electricity generation in recent years etc no dey even see ipob back when it comes to the level of seriousness with which the british-fulani overlords of the zoo take the issue!!!

I am so proud of MNK and his men in what they have managed to achieve in such a small space of time!!!

if you seriously think that britain was not consulted before the democracy day was shifted from the 29th to the 12th by the fulani mafia, then you are just a pillock in zoogerian politics!!!

just look at how unwieldy the whole caboodle is set up to be now!!!

what exactly are the leaders of the foreign nations (should we believe what is coming out of aso rock) coming to the shiithole to do on the 12th?!

to attend a wasteful government's extravaganza when those civilized governments know for sure that the zoo is the center of poverty on earth and that the fulani towel heads in government should have done a low key event on the 29th and gone to work straightaway in tackling the multifarious challenges her embattled citizens are encountering?!

so for the next 2 weeks pressing matters of state would be kept on the back burner as this most unserious government goes about planning a carnival of sorts in order to get the whole world to legitimize their brazen criminality?!

guys, ipob's sit at home successful implementation over the years is the ONLY reason the date was changed because the british-fulani hegemony could no longer bear to have a successful sit at home coming a day after they just had a renewal of their contract to keep siphoning niger delta oil free of charge!!!

the buy-in to the sit at home by our eastern neighbours is on the ascendancy and other contiguous regions to the east would soon come all out to declare their unalloyed support!!!

the british-fulani hegemony know that zoogeria is in its death throes and all these their last minute panicky counter-measures to forestall the tearing up of the zoo are futile!!!

biafra heroes day has come to stay and the memories of ALL those killed by the british-fulani imperialists shall NEVER be forgotten!!!

freedom is at the door my people!!!

let us just hold on a little more in patience!!!

biafra shall NEVER EVER die!!!

the international interventionist invaders are soon coming to the shiithole to tear zoogeria to pieces and we, the great easterners, are SOO gone from the shiithole ASAP, AMEN!!!

durangokid:
. Monkey, quota system graduate , go and read the real history of Nigeria not the doctored one you have. Well that bullshit can't happen again because this time around nobody has Monopoly of violence.

Area4Area:
You talked about the 1945 and 1953 killings of Igbos, what stopped Zik and other Igbo politicians from using that as a reason for accepting the de-amalgamation suggested by Ahmadu Bello and the referendum and secession clause suggested by Awo?

Why did Ironsi quell Isaac Boro's quest for Niger Delta republic and hastily signed the anti-secession decree into law?

Ojukwu wanted Biafra but wanted unwilling minorities to join him with no weapons, no food, no allies etc.

Aniomas can choose their identity since they can align with with any group.

Continue hoping on the unwilling minorities

Area4Area:
Why weren't those coup plotters tried within weeks according to military tradition, why keeping them for months with no date for trial?

Johans1991:
hahahaaaa pls bring it on. Chest beating as usual. This time around no single Igbo idiot will be Left on d earth surface.

shehuolayinka:
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.

The former minister made this known in a series of tweets on his verified and official twitter handle.

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.”

Kpoikpoi:
Typical Igbo English.
I'm embarrassed by the grammar.

ChiSomtoChi:



Another fake news from a bigot. Understand something here.

1. The killings of Igbos started in 1945 and 1953. Was Zik the president of Nigeria then? No! What has Zik got to do with it? Was Zik in power? Despite Ironsi was in power in 1966, yet the killings of Igbos didn't stop.


2. Adaka Boro wasn't fighting for the whole Niger Delta course. He was only fighting for the Ijaw people only. Before BIAFRA, there was NDR. Boro's struggle was only for the Ijaws. Simple!

3. You claimed Aniomas can choose their own identity yet they are the ones that put millions of SE Igbos in the mess we suffered and still suffering till today. Assuming the arrogant Anioma Chukwuma Ezeogwu didn't strike, No SE Igbos would have been killed. After Aniomas made SE Igbos as victims yet they still deny being Igbos. These guys are fucking annoying

joeyfire:


No "military tradition" demands trial "within weeks" without concluding an investigation. The investigation panel had M.D. Yusuf the Head of Special Branch, Gowon, Usman Baba and others.

Some historians have inferred that Gowon who was Ironsi's eyes on the panel and the link-man with the SMC, deliberately slowed down the finalization of the report because it disappointed the "Igbo coup" narrative. Gowon was asked at several SMC meetings on when the report would be released to the council

Area4Area:
Akiko n'egwu, a coup where leaders from other regions were killed couldn't be investigated within weeks but Adaka Boro and his comrades who carried out theirs months later without killing anyone was tried within weeks and to be sent to the firing squad by December that year

Area4Area:
1. Zik, Awo and Ahmadu Bello were trying to draft a constitution for independence, he was advised to consider the requests by Bello and Awo but he refused.

2. Adaka Boro wanted an all Ijaw republic called Niger Delta republic, I never said he was fighting for the whole of Niger Delta.

3. I could agree with you to some extent here, they set the ball rolling only to be denying us now but Ironsi could have done the needful by speedily trying the coup plotters, shouldn't have attacked Adaka Boro, shouldn't have signed the anti-secession decree into law, shouldn't have refused the "Araba"(secession) the north wanted immediately after the 1st coup and other mistakes he made.

joeyfire:


Isaac Boro carried out his insurrection in February and was charged to court in June. A whole four months. Dont lie pls.

Why compare Boro's ragtag militia which you have said didn't kill anybody to Operation Damisa, a military coup which brought down an entire government with a number of high profile deaths. Use your head. Besides you alleged military tradition was not followed...Boro was tried by the High Court.

joeyfire:


Ironsi was murdered as part of the Araba. Was it corpse that refused it?

Area4Area:
Nzegwu and his comrades carried out their coup in January and what was holding their trial or were they tried secretly?

Johans1991:
As usual. Always chest beating and playing the victims card. The day you Will try that rubbish again the whole Igbo tribe will be wiped out of the earth surface. Akuya

joeyfire:


Ironsi was murdered as part of the Araba. Was it corpse that refused it?

Uchek:
What is your ethnicity?

Johans1991:
before he was murdered

joeyfire:


Ask Gowon and the InvestIgation Panel why they did not submit the report to Ironsi and the military council. Also ask Gowon why a white paper was never released. Read my previous posts for more info on this.

Besides .....the Nzeogwu coup involved hundreds of elite military men and dozens of officers representing every region that struck all over the country, killed most of the leadership and destroyed the government. Do you understand the complexity of such an investigation?

You cannot compare such to Isaac Boro and three or four men blowing up pipelines and attacking police stations in a few towns inside present day Bayelsa. (Two hour drive).

joeyfire:


I'm not aware that Ironsi ever got any notice of Araba (secession) from the north, talkless of resisting it. Pls share any links or sources. I've never heard of this before

Johans1991:
hahahaaaa pls bring it on. Chest beating as usual. This time around no single Igbo idiot will be Left on d earth surface.

Rossikk:


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.
