Akwa Ibom, Southsouth Know Thyself by Hotice085: 2:21pm On May 12, 2020 |
Prior to independence the minority groups in their Provinces had control over themselves and resources directly, these provinces were made up of Divisions. Calabar- 8 Divisions. Ogoja-5 Divisions Rivers-4 Divisions Onitsha-5 Divisions Owerri-5 Divisions. Though Ogoja province controlled what is now Ebonyi (Abakaliki, Afikpo). Everybody had it going for themselves until the drum of independence started drumming. The IBO's despite having the smallest land mass had the population. Eyo Ita the leader of Eastern government and the NCNC was machinated out of government by no other group but the IBO's. Azikiwe who had been playing politics outside lost out as an an opposition figure in the west but ran down to the East and used every tribal sentiments to remove the Eyo Ita led NCNC. This myopic selfish acts by Azikiwe birthed COR ( CALABAR OGOJA RIVERS) From 1954 AZIKIWE took charge, later became Premiere, left to become President but he made sure IBOs continued. Michael Opara was Premiere, Akanu Ibiam was Governor, Ojukwu was the last governor. Every KEY POSITIONS were IBOs. The capital of the eastern region having been moved from Calabar to Enugu gave them enough impetus to control the region politically. The major source of income was palm oil Calabar province alone which had 8 Divisions was the highest contributor, AZIKIWE came in and cornered the Commonwealth to predominantly Igbo's speaking enclaves. Educational facilities ( University of Nigeria), hospitals, infrastructures were concentrated in Igbo land. The Africa Continental Bank set up by the entire region wealths, I tell you had AZIKIWE as the largest share holder and IBO's as the major staffs and loan beneficiaries. While branches of the banks sprang up in most Divisions in Igbo land, Calabar a Province had one only. My grandparents/ uncles had to be going from Itu(a Division) a very thriving port town to Calabar for banking. AZIKIWE did not just engineer the removal of Eyo Ita from his position, he made sure key agitators were decimated and wickedly enough it was only to groups outside of Igbos. The then Obong of Calabar was one he really tormented by encouraging and creating Chiefdoms to spite the Obong. The Ibibio/Efiks and others he appointed were basically albatross to the Obong, Eyo Ita Udo Udoma and other COR agitators. The divide and conquer tactics he adopted may not have been been an Igbo agenda but AZIKIWE a man at that height and leadership encouraged it to the fullest. The Eastern Nigerian Scholarship Board was seriously basta-rdize by the IBO's control government, Adaka Boro was on this scholarship, my grand uncle applied for 3 good years but NEVER got it. The last time he went to Enugu to check for his name was worse than all time IBO's had 70 out of the list of hundred while others where names from appointees. This is a scholarship for the best in d region but they sat on it like their birthright. This scholarship gave them miles ahead of other tribe. Well he did get a scholarship/ grant from the Presbyterian Church to read radiography in Scotland. BIAFRA was only a continuation of where AZIKIWE left it, ADAKA BORO who dropped out of the University of Nigeria claimed to have won the students union election but was rigged by out due to his minority beliefs. He had declared sovereignty for his own people ( unlike IPOB) but Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi rejected it and jailed him, now OJUKWU an IBO man declares his BIAFRA expecting Adaka Boro to be part of it, imagine! BIAFRA was an IBO creation most of the other ethnic group only wanted a STATE of their own. Let it be clear that the Ibibios had men of high ranks on both side. The highest in the entire Nigerian Army was an Akwaibomite Brig. Gen. Bassey Wellington. Ojukwu never measured up to Philip Effiong not to talk of Bassey Wellington. Bassey was on the Nigerian side but Phillip Effiong his junior joined BIAFRA. The Igbo's had Ike Nwachukwu(Gen) even AZIKIWE never supported it but the Biafrans never went to their villages and massacre rape anyone but this they did in Ibibio land. My aunty an amputee got shot in her dormitory while in an all girls school when the Basta-rds stormed there, and this is in a community where the 2nd in command of the Biafran Basta-rds soldiers comes from. Ironically are grandchildren are IBO's cause her only daughter is married to a port Harcourt based Abia man. Honestly when you guys go huffing and puffing up yourselves do you stop to listen to others or you just see things from your own perspectives? For the IPOB rats who had to spit on MASSOB and metamorphosed into a brand of Online propagandists thinking they know better than what a SS man in Adoko Boro started, KANU and his IPOB will regrets crossing into territories they aren't welcomed. Blackking98 and South South people If any IPOB thread on you do same to him we have always been ahead in everything and we may be calm but BOLD and FEARLESS The very first Nigerian to be commissioned officer was “Wellington Bassey” with Army number (N1). Two months later, “Aguiyi Ironsi” (N2) and “Samuel A. Ademulegun” (N3) were also commissioned. A short while later, “Ralph Adetunji Shodeinde” (N4) was also commissioned officer. Left to right sitting: Captain Robert Adeyinka Adebayo, Captain Philip Effiong, Captain Umeh Ogere Imo, Major Samuel Adesoji Ademulegun, Major Wellington Bassey, Major General Norman Forster (GOC, Nigerian Army), Major Aguiyi Ironsi, Major Ralph Adetunji Shodeinde, Captain Zakaria Maimalari, Captain Conrad Nwawo, Captain David Akpode Ejoor. 2nd Row Standing: Lt Igboba, Lt George Remunoiyowun Kurubo, (non Nigerian standing next to Kurubo), Lt J Akahan Akaga, Lt Patrick Awunah, Lt Louis Ogbonnia, Lt Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Lt Eyo Ekpo, Lt Author Unegbe, Lt Abogo Largema. 3rd Row Standing: Lt Hillary Mbilitem Njoku, 2nd Lt Macauley Nzefili, 2nd Lt David Ogunewe, 2nd Lt Shadrack, Lt Alexander Madiebo, 2nd Lt Anthony Eze, Lt Yakubu Gowon, 2nd Lt Sylvanus Nwanjei, Lt Yakubu Pam, 2nd Lt Hassan Katsina. 5 Likes 2 Shares

Lol, so because Pazienza showed the public the Willink's report, all of a sudden, SW almajiris are now working overtime in a futile effort to thwart the findings of neutral commission The Biafran chief of defence staff in the person of Gen. Efiong should go answer for the crimes of the Biafran soldiers that shot your non-existent aunt This concocted falsehoods are beginning to sound like the allegations that were brought before the Willink's body, which they threw out for lack of evidence.

Why did they assign the role of GOC to Ironsi when Wellington Bassey was still in military service? Any explanation for this @Hotice085. Secondly, i need a clearer picture of the military hierachy like the one you post above. 2 Likes |

sageb: The guys that carried out the coup were basically Junior officers and Igbos dominated, the promotion were political. Ironsi promoted himself and not the highest millatary council. The samething happened after the counter coup, Gowon who was even Junior to Ojukwu promoted himself to a full fledged general and because he had the northern backing. Also when Muritala was assassinated Obansanjo though promoted by the military council the next day promoted Shehu Musa YarAdua just to cover to the north. But many senior military officers never reported to him but to Obasanjo beczuse they saw him as junior. TY Danjuma and others never recognized his rank, even Gowons rank was taken away. Most Generals we had have been political or self promoted, Gen. Wellington went thru normal promotion despite all this but had he been from any of the three major ethnic group he would have been a Field Marshall 4 Likes |

- Calabar was never the capital of Eastern region. Eastern region was created by Bernard Bourdillion on 1939 with capital at Enugu. - Calabar was the capital of Southern Nigeria(SE plus SS) up until 1906 when Sir Egerton amalgamated Southern Nigeria with Lagos colony( SW) to form protectorate of Southern Nigeria. With the capital of Southern protectorate moved from Calabar to Lagos. Many People don't know it, but before 1914 amalgamation of North and South. There was a 1906 amalgamation of SE/SS (Southern Nigeria) with Colony and protectorate of Lagos(SW) to form Southern Nigeria protectorate. https://www.nairaland.com/1021926/talk-secession-should-stop-replaced - In essence, Calabar lost its capital status to Lagos and not to Enugu. _ All the domination allegations you are still peddling against Igbos were examined by Willink commission and found to not only be empty, but jealousy drivenhttps://www.nairaland.com/5851640/eastern-region-series-cor-movement. 8 Likes |
