What ahmadu bello said is 100% right, he is the Premier of his Northern region and his first obligation is to his people first simple, he is not the Prime Minister of the whole Nigeria. You Igbos lack human capital that's why you migrates everywhere seeking for opportunities, assuming you have developed your region before mass migrating into others, at least your host community will have a positive feelings that your presence will as well transform their communities, but yours is worst. You are totally in charge of your civil service in your region, then you emigrated to other's region and start competing for the civil service jobs meant for those from that region and your expect Ahmadu bello not to find a way to protect his Northern region where he is the Premier.

we never tried to Lord ourselves over anybody in 1966 explain how we did.

what stupid claim? we own a lot of properties all over Nigeria not just in South West and there is no doubt about that, extreme poverty and under development is visible all over Nigeria making Nigeria the capital of poverty in the world

we have never forced Biafra on anyone there are people in South East against/in favour of Biafra just as there are people in South South against/in favour of Biafra, all we have asked is a referendum for everyone to decide

Have you forgetten the coup? Are you aware your Igbo brother Aguiyi Ironsi introduced this Unitary so that Igbos can control all other regions.

marsman:

Zik became the prime minister through the help of the North, he Joined hands with the North because he thought that North were Gullible and he could play them, not knowing they were the master Politicians, who.later sidelined him after. Awolowo was the Leader of the of the western region, and he wanted the best for his western people.As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the Southern Protectorate. Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in Nigeria. With that situation the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand in any democratic bargain.
But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these areas should fall in the future Eastern Region. But against common sense, the colonial masters decided to gerrymander them into the Northern Region. While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by landmass.
Anascopeterson: While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo for his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist. A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy chasing rats in a far away land. . Yorubas love zik? you guys are also known for telling false tales, even presently, A large population of the Igbos don't like zik, that is why one of his statues was destroyed in the was during the end sars protest. Awolowo was far better than zik in all aspect, because he did what a true son of the soil would do, wish the best for his people, and not become power hungry with the urge to rule every body like pathetic zik.
While Awo and balewa tried making Provision in our constitution for future secession, it was this same zik that was demonizing them and calling them enemy of the state, while you Igbos were cheering him on, Now tides has changed, you can't keep the rest of us under your feet like to dreamt to again, you now want leave. Selfish people

all these you wrote here are totally wrong a nation like Nigeria that was still trying to fully gain independent from their colonel masters was never ripe enough to be divided along ethnic line, zik fought the colonial masters and did everything he could to proof to the colonial masters that Nigeria was matured and United enough to rule themselves,
I repeat zik was never a tribal bigot and saw himself as a Nigerian first before tribe, he never placed his tribe before Nigeria which bigots like awolowo and sarduana of sokoto were doing, the northerners never helped him in winning election in the South West rather the ijebus who awolowo looked down on as second Yorubas did, awolowo had the same resentment he had for the ijebus like he did igbos and zik took advantage of that, on the other hand the northerners took advantage of the lack of love and unity amongst the South thankes to awolowo the North became the bigger political party, same thing has continued till date

the coup was never an igbo coup and the reason for ironsi unitary system immediately after the coup was simply to promote unity we were not the majority ethnic group in Nigeria in fact the northerners combined and out numbered the South at large so there was no way ironsi unitary decision was an igbo agenda, if it was general Gowon who took over could have cancelled it

watch the video again he was not talking of his northern region but Nigeria as a country

we were dominating simply on merit grounds of qualification, we were never the favorite of the the colonial rulers we fund ourselves in those positions because at that time we were just more qualified, the northerners were the favorite of the British not us

jimyjames:

1) the coup was not an igbo coup and the igbos didn't meet and send those officers to carry out a coup for the igbos,
2) nzeogwu who led that coup was an igbo man just by name, he was born in Kaduna spoke Hausa as his first language spoke no igbo, dressed and carried himself around like a northerner which his friends gave him the name Kaduna same can be said of the others
and even though he died fighting in Biafra after the war Gowon took his corpse and gave him a befitting burial in Kaduna cause he was a Kaduna man
3) for the northerner he was, it never crossed his mind or any of his coup plotters that it will be viewed as an igbo coup, else he could had included a lot of Yorubas and northerners in it, cause he had officer's under his command and he was well known as a no nonsense officer, who never smoked drink alcohol or had anything to do with women sexually and hated corruption , and the reason for the coup was far from an igbo coup even the Yoruba man amongst them confirmed this


4) ironsi just like zik believed in the unity of this country they were never tribal bigots like awolowo and the most northerners , zik saw himself as northerner Yoruba and igbo and he could speak this two languages more than he did igbo, same reason he won a free and fair election in South West voted by the Yoruba against their own son awolowo who was a bigot


5) I will still say the igbo own properties all over Nigeria including South West it has always being that way even before Nigeria gained independent, 90% of this igbos are born in Lagos and themselves as lagosians, so they are not wrong if the claim to own those parts of Lagos they Acquire with their wealth

6) there are millions and millions of people in South South who supports Biafra wike or whoever as long as he is not the majority can't stand and speak for the whole of South South only a referendum can tell

I have met many Igbos who have tried to deny Nzeougwus Nationality, but the fact still remains, that Nzeougwu, was an Igbo man from delta state by Origin, and the coup conducted was 90% Igbos and some gullible Yorubas and Hausa's who were fooled to believe in the true course, the coup was never meant to Make Nigeria better, or Install Awolowo has the president as many claim, but to make sure Igbos headed Nigeria, since it doesn't seem like it will happen since the North took over, coup that was meant to get rid of every body, killed Leaders, in the North, and the West, but miraculously spared all there leaders in the east, and Azikwe, who was on vacation in the Caribbeans, got tipped by God to extend his stay a little longer. Hahaha, Logically this can't be denied to not be something conspired by the Igbos to Lord the Igbos over the rest of Nigeria, but you guys still find a way to deny it. Ironsi came after made all the power concentrate at his feet, making all other regional head useless, they protested against it and warned him against his unGodly act, which was welcomed by Igbo brothers who believed they can Lord over every thing like Ojukwu, the then head of the eastern region, but he refused, and he Got what he rightly deserved.
You can call Awolowo a bigot all you want, he was in the interest of his people, wanted a constitution that could allow his people to get out of the contraption when it is time, but zik wouldn't let that happen he seriously just had to preside over the affairs of the country, can i blame him for his greediness, Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university graduate is the Binis). As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are some quotes:
"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Nnamdi Azikiwe (1945).
"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma. (1949).

Zik having being voted for in the south West is very Understandable, since he had Yoruba Candidates in his Party, Yorubas don't love your zik, don't force it on them.
Many thread have been created, here about different tribes rejecting the biafran Identity, the latest ones are the Ikwere people, who have presently rejected the Igbo Identity that they believe was forced on them. But you still believe in your millions, when Niger deltans are even thinking about there own republic, what is with the forced attache.

Thanks to Awolowo there was coalition between the Northern Party and Ziks party right?.
It was also Awolowo, that made zik leave his town in Enugun to come and be fighting for western premier In Yoruba Land, while the whites were busy giving the North all the settlent, that were initially in the south, Ijebu koor I je buuu nii.

Ziks party NCNC never formed a coalition with NPC northerner people's party, ziks NCNC party had a dominant strong hold all over southern Nigeria, this brought a lot of concern to awolowo who formed the action group purposely to fight ziks dominant party, and he did that by tribal sentiment, which he United the non ijebu Yorubas against zik and used same sentiment to gain some supporters from Midwest and middle Belt, his party still came 3th in the general election behind zik

You guys are beyond redemption. Playing victim up and down yet you are the ethnic group most at fault for the biggest tragedies of Nigeria starting from when Azikiwe treacherously colluded with the North to frustrate Awolowo's effort to have a secession clause inserted in our constitution.

I still repeat what the sarduana said was and still is a common sentiment in Nigeria towards the igbo,


my friend we igbos are business people but that should not mean we should sell what we don't have or the little we have and remain empty handed, like you all know we have the smallest landmass in Nigeria one state in the North is bigger than the entire South East, we have a very large population, land is like gold in South East, and we sell it to our own people who can pay no matter how expensive it is, no Hausa or Fulani or Yoruba can pay millions of millions on a little piece of land he can easily purchase in his own region for just 70 to 100k

Trust me, their strategy is deliberate. They go round playing victim, shouting 'marginalization' and guilt-tripping other Nigerians 24/7.

All that a deliberate ploy to hide the hateful, vindictive and discriminatory wickedness they Harbour in their hearts for other Nigerians.

Igbo land is the most intolerant, unwelcoming and unfriendly in the entire Nigeria. Yet same Igbos will go around pretending they are victims of marginalization and discrimination. Thank God some Yorubas don dey soji watching Igbo antics observantly.

Perfect example was Stella Oduah who went on a retrenchment drive in her Ministry against Yorubas, once GEJ made her a minister, to replace them shamelessly with Igbos. Yet Igbos shout loudest about the 'nepotism' of PMB. Shameless hypocrites.

jimyjames:
in achebe's words
"The origin of the national resentment of the Igbo is as old as Nigeria and quite as complicated.
"But it can be summarised thus: The Igbo " being receptive to change, individualistic and highly competitive, gave the Igbo man an unquestioned advantage over his compatriots in securing credentials for advancement in Nigerian colonial society.
"Unlike the Hausa/Fulani he was unhindered by a wary religion and unlike the Yoruba unhampered by traditional hierarchies. This kind of creature, not fearing God nor man, was custom-made to grasp the opportunities, such as they were, of the white man's dispensation. And the Igbo did so with both hands.
"Although the Yoruba had a huge historical and geographical head-start the Igbo wiped out their handicap in one fantastic burst of energy in the twenty years between 1930 and 1950.
"Had the Igbo been a minor ethnic group of a few hundred thousand, their menace might have been easily and quietly contained. But they ran in their millions! Like J.P Clark's fine image of 'ants filing out of the wood' the Igbo moved out of their forest home, scattered and virtually seized the floor.
"But this kind of success can carry a deadly penalty: the danger of hubris, overweening pride and thoughtlessness, which invites envy and hatred;"
Prof Chinua Achebe

Achebe wrote just like an ethnic supremacist not like an academic. There were no known acceptable research works referenced in this book to back up his claims.

You seriously think, when push comes to shove, SS folks will agree to join Igbos in Biafra?

They will reject Biafra flatly because you Igbos are unstable, domineering, intolerant and innately unfair people who will try to subjugate others.

Nigerians are seeing through you lot you know. Don't get it twisted. Wike's denial and rejection of Igbos will be child's play when Biafra is declared lol. Most Igbos in Lagos, SW and North will even refuse to be Biafrans let alone SS folks.
