lbo people are extraordinary people, what a people! what a race,, A race that takes pride in domination, A race that take delight in domination, Dishonesty and cheating are in their blood, No matter how high the personality.

Where ever they go, they want to be the head, they only want to rule, and not to be rule , people with vaulting ambition, whose virtue is lost to wealth.

people whose aim is to colonise any land they set their feet, people whose plan is to force to slavery any race they come across, people who claim to be hard working than other races around the world

when Southern Cameroon was part of Nigeria, lbos were everywhere in the Cameroon, they took control of everything there, the native were regarded as stupid, and were pushed from towns to hamlets.

when the people had their freedom, lbos were told to quit at once, they were kicked out without delay, they were told to go back to their homes, stubborn ones were forced to go.

The people took over their affairs proved their wisdom to lbo race, they managed their affairs with success, they enjoyed in booms of wealth.

when lbos were in Northern Nigeria, the natives were nothing to them, Hausas and fulanis were victimised, Tivs and others were taken as fools, they were pushed out from gainful field.

Their ambition was set on ruling the country, to make other tribes in the federation remain firmly under lbo domination, they conspired and killed Nigeria leaders from other ethics group in the federation, lbo leaders remained in fortification.

On 15th January 1966, their wicked plan was put into action, General lronsi assumed power, and ruled federal Nigeria, lbo people rejoiced everywhere on their achievement of taking over the power.

They mocked Northerners in market squares, They humiliated, scorned and laughed at them, " where is Surdauna your leader" they asked, Thev Lion of the North is death, they laughed, full power is now in our hands, they bragged.


Northerners with tears and anger revolted, they would either live or die with their fathersz they would never live to bear the insult, lbos must at once quit their region, they took the irrevocable decision, to force lbos out of their region.

The people were then able to live, freely in their native lands, free from insults and domination, free from this wandering race of confusion.

On the 29th July 1966, sections of Nigeria army revolted, they kidnapped General lronsi, an lbo leader, as reprisal to lbos vicious acts to the events of January 1966.

July events brought suspension of the federal republic of Nigeria, the country remained without a leader, Three days elapse without a statement, Oh! what a pity was to federal Nigeria.

Praters were on all over the country, Christians and Moslems prayed on together, O! God, have mercy on your people, our country is now in terrible confusion, send us someone to save our nation.

Our father in Heaven with merciful eyes saw with pity the afflicted nation, answered with speed the fervent prayers, He sent out a man to save our country, in YAKUBU GOWON, a chosen saviour.


I just don't have time for you. You wrote this hatred lines expecting me to start arguing with you.
I leave you alone with the devil to continue your useless write up.

yhen, yhen, yhen... God gave you Gowon as a savior and you are worse off and still remain a shithole country after 54yrs that the igbos left power for you. That should tell you something. Mtchew. Mumu write up from a bigot

The same lugard that is the source of Nigeria's problems.

Africans and the way they percieve things can be disheartening. Lord lugard is not the problem, our people and ur type is the problem. Is lord lugard responsible for the endemic corruption ravaging the entire sectors of our nation? Lets face the fact and stop playing the blame game. The is nt the first time certain men bring different tribes together. My conclusion: nigerians is the core problem of nigeria, there is no tribe that one can point back at as saints, even you. We are killing this nation by our actions and perception.

I'm sure proper maintenance would have kept it in a better state than it is now. Still, the ones they are building now can hardly stand the test of 10 decades plus our uncultured way of abusing and misusing of things.

The footbridge is located in Kaduna state Nigeria. It was built during colonial rules. Before the bridge was constructed there was no way if linking both halves except by canoes.

The bridge was built by sir Frederic lugard in 1904 at zungeru, the capital of the northern protectorate of Nigeria after the Amalgamation of the Northern and southern protectorate.


It was reconstructed in 1920 after it was moved to Gamji gate Kaduna. On 16 of February 1956 it was declared a historic monument.
The bridge is more reliable than those built buy senators in their constituents.
