I'm not a fan of Kanu as I feel he can be a rabble-rouser sometimes, but something that he posted got me seriously thinking...until I came to the resignative conclusion that Nigerians are just a hypocritical bunch, or maybe the reality of history is lost on them.

How come Igbos paid the price in blood for a coup masterminded by Nzeogwu - a man from my hometown though no less an Igbo man(yet few would argue he wasn't Igbo)... But the other coups which were ethnically motivated didn't result in the massacres of the people from the ethnic groups whose officers and men carried out the coups.

Note that of all the coups carried out in Nigeria, only the Nzeogwu coup and to some extent the Orkar coup included men and officers from different ethnic groups... There were Yorubas, Middle belt, Northern and South South/SE Igbos in Nzeogwu's coup, yet Igbos had to be singled out somehow.

Are you still a learner? You dont know whats going on here? Long before the so called Nzeogwu/Igbo coup, Nigerians were highly suspicious of Igbos. The Igbo man was the only one who would move to all parts of Nigeria, settle and strive to make it commercially viable.That principle of 'one Nigeria' whereby you consider anywhere in your country as 'your home' was only practiced by Igbos to a high degree. And the Igbo man was doing well wherever he went and this was going down too well. It was bad enough that the Igbo man was grabbing economic power, by his sweat and hardwork, to allow him to grab political power would not be allowed.

So when Nzeogwu conducted his coup, and it led to another Igbo man, Ironsi, becoming head of state, the powers that be could not stand it.

Nzeogwu's coup was quickly tagged an 'Igbo coup' while all other coups that followed have no ethnic tag.

Even here on NL, Nzeogwu from Okpanam in present day Delta state, will be an 'Igbo man' when it comes to the first coup. After discussions on the first coup, the same Okpanam will suddenly become Anioma, Niger Delta, South/South and non Igbo. When Nzeogwu was alive, he never heard Okpanam referred to as Niger Delta, South/South or Anioma. Today, they are all three as long as they are not Igbo "when required to be"


"One Nigeria" is a fraud and all Nnamdi Kanu is saying is that a referendum be conducted so that people can choose their destiny

Area4Area:
Referendum indeed, tell us which ethnic group had requested for it aside your useless Kanu and IPOB...

Nobody is giving any useless person or group any referendum till thy kingdom come, better start crying now

Igbosmoker:
what ethnic group are you from?

woky:


Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.

You're just too afraid of the name BIAFRA!

Area4Area:
Question!!!

Create another thread for that and don't derail this

Igbosmoker:
I don't see why you hate Biafra so much if you're not hausa/fulani
