Just picture a country where Awolowo refused to endorse state creation by Gowon and insisted on regionalism. Where south West supported whole heartedly confederation as proposed by Ojukwu at Aburi which is far better than regionalism and make it a whole lot easier for each region to go their separate ways because they have acquired loose autonomy.

I wish the men from the west had the balls in 1966, Nigeria would have been the pride of Africa but alas Awolowo and Ogundipe ( two Yorubas) cowered in the moment of decision. Ogundipe own was worse. He was the next in command but he ran away for dear life making it easier for an officer(Gowon) junior to Ojukwu to take over.

Ironsi was there for only 6 months... And you cant change what he did for 56yrs. He was even murdered for same and those who came to change it rejoiced then but later after 56yrs they are still complaining of a man who did not even live to explain his intentions.

Is black people cursed or just stupid

Awolowo responsible for our defeat? Where he take gather liver from?

Britain stopped Biafra.

We knew him as a coward who fought a war with Biafran children when other men were flexing muscles in the war front. Till eternity his name is registered as a cold blooded murderer of innocent children numbering between 1 to 2 million. Now that is a fact!

You share a country with stupid people. That is why the Igbo man intrigues them. We do not see the world from their very backward lenses.

You wake up in the morning and before you go to bed; and
your pre-occupation and most important issue that task your intelligence and time is Ndigbo - rather than the existential crisis that confronts you ethnic nationality.

What a waste of time and intellect!

Anything that makes you sleep well at night.

What matters most is that the entire 45 million Igbo population regard him as a Lion who looked the rest of you barbaric cannibals hunting down Igbos in 1966 right in the face and asked all of you to go to blazes!

Who led them in a historic charge to die on their feet when it was less terrifying to live on their knees. It is not his fault that the spineless coward Gowon, despite having Igbo land surrounded for the greater part of the war, could not fish out his nightmare who was balling right under his nose.

We are all eternally grateful to him for not making it easy for the enemies of Ndigbo. He took his final salute like a true soldier at Uli Airport, and gave Gowon Danjuma , Muritala and their British conspirators middle finger. With that he gave the likes of you a reason to cry forever. Ikemba lives on! grin

Wake up Gen Aguiyi Ironsi from his grave and ask him what was in his mind concerning resource control before he was killed by your heroes who consolidated on his unitary system of governance instead of abolishing it like they abolished four regions under Ironsi.
Current Nigeria leaders today can go back to what Nigeria was before the military intervetion rather cunniving and conspiring Yoruba folks will blame a man that died 54 years ago for all the troubles facing the nation.Go and join Sowore and protest for a better Nigeria that is what sensible citizens do
...but Yorubas weren't in power when the whole thing went down. How can you drag them in.

Just picture a country practicing regionalism with secession clause in her constitution.. Nigeria would have been a pride of Africa but alas Azikiwe and Ironsi (two prominent Igbos) shattered the bright future of our dear nation due to greed and the false notion that their gods have given them Africa to dominate.

Who are those complaing bitterly now, wailing day and night in severe pains. Shioor!
Let's assume what u said us true .... What stop u and your people from seeking change ...are u really enjoying this current system more than igbos ?

They are still calling Ironsi's name, a man who ruled for only 6 months. They have been ruling since 1966 and did far worse than Ironsi.

During Ironsi's time, there were 4 Regions, there was resource control and there was fiscal federalism

All 3 disappeared under those who took over from Ironsi, yet they are still calling Ironsi despite the fact that they 1000 times worse than him

Keep denying yourself. If your eyes are open and your brain is functioning well, you will know who among him and your ojukwu their children are suffering.

Neither does it change the fact that he denied you lilly livered cowards the satisfaction of recording his torture for future reference.

And it made us Igbo eternally happy that you did not catch the lion alive. You needed that closure badly and Ojukwu denied you guys with a hero's salute that fateful evening at Uli airport. grin
