Deadlytruth:

The Eastern Command of Nigerian troops under Ojukwu's command as Eastern Region military governor attacked Boro and fought the 12 day war against him. If Ojukwu did not throw himself at "One Nigeria" then why could he not caution Ironsi against promulgating the infamous Unification Decree but he (Ojukwu) even gleefully announced over the radio that the advent of the Unification Decree that Eastern civil servants would start getting transferred to the Northern Region since the Civil service had been centralized by Ironsi . If that was not a snatch at "one Nigeria" then what was it? Isaac Boro too warned Ojukwu of the dangers ahead for Igbos on their one Nigeria fantasy but Ojukwu refused to heed, instead he led the squad that fought, arrested and jailed Boro. Ojukwu even twice sent back to the North some Easterners who escaped home. He claimed he did that to demonstrate his faith in one-Nigeria. It is on you-tube. Videos don't lie.
And for your mockery of SS people on what Ojukwu said would befall them; I want you to realize that "one-Nigeria" soldiers did not massacre SS people but massacred Ojukwu's brothers in millions. So who had more evil befall them from one Nigeria between Igbo and SS?
Only economic problems befell SE minorities and which was caused by Ironsi a brother to Ojukwu.

https://www.nairaland.com/2911654/yoruba-nations-losing-sense-fairness

I rolled on my bed this last night and I wondered how what we YORUBAS condemned, fought and criticised under Obasanjo, Yar'Adua and Jonathan all suddenly became permissible under Buhari! It baffles me that what we have always stood for is being lost by some of us. Let me take some of these:

1. I am shocked that an educated Yoruba man could stand up and say the constitution can be subverted under a democratic government simply because we want to fight corruption.

2. I am shocked that we can say let us put aside the rule of law and operate by the rule of the thumb simply because a government has whipped up so much emotions in us to believe that those who stole should even be executed without trial.

3. It is shocking to me that what we denigrated Obasanjo for (disobedience of court orders, high-handedness, intimidation, mis-use of public institutions to harass opponents) are same things we are justifying on the expediency of "cleaning the mess created by PDP".

4. We have always been in opposition and principled critics of anti-democratic practices but I am shocked that all what our leaders have always criticised and fought against are being justified by us because a 'saint' has become president through us.

5. I never knew a Yorubaman like me could ever see corruption SOLELY on the prism of who is involved, what he used the money allegedly stolen for and the political party he belongs to. I never knew my Yoruba compatriot could see visible proof of corruption and say "no court has convicted him" but supports dropping rule of law to punish another person accused of SAME offence!

6. I am shocked that Yoruba man could justify something in Lagos but condemn it in Ekiti. Defend impunity in Abuja but criticise it in Port-Harcourt!

7. I never knew my people could see anyone who criticises a sitting government as being paid, supporting corruption and supporting a particular party but see those who support it as being the 'only' patriots.

8. At what time did we start condemning evil based only on who is involved and where he belongs to rather than the evil itself?

9. I am shocked that none of our leaders is even coughing about STATE POLICE and TRUE/FISCAL FEDERALISM again. No one is talking of lopsided revenue sharing formula again! Yet, these are issues we have been fighting successive governments over in the last FORTY years! But none of those who made it their daily songs is mentioning it again!

The Buhari presidency has shown clearly that may be, we are a the tribe of double standards. It is shameful!

If they truly want Biafra, they would not be cursing anyone that advice them to blow up the Niger Bridge that links them with Nigeria the way they are clapping for NDA blowing up pipelines.

My friend stop saying trash here. Take away Lagos state{which btw was even a federal capital and was made what it is today by every Nigerian} and Yoruba nation will be left with nothing. The original poster wrote a nice article up there and you just decided to bring some ethnic superiority into the discuss. I don't just know what is the problem of some people honestly

Oche211:
Ok... Nw we get it. So what this idiots re doing is just to make some high nd mighty thieves go scot free.
That's impossible.
Btw, i thought Igbos re already shouting that avengers will help them achieve biafra. They don't knw that they just want to save their paymasters who are thieves.
Chai, PDP chieftains nd elites still deceiving d igbos with false hope even after they've lost the central.

Look at this illiterate talk of bedrock of another man's land economy when the entire South East economy is less that 1/4 of South West economy.

Look, you dummy we made our land attractive for people to invest and Yorubas rule their land. We provided the infrastructure and all the basic amenities you guys enjoy in South West. Go tell your governor to do the same and ask your igbo brothers to develop their red sand land. South West belong to yoruba and it's ruled by Yorubas not Igbos.

We allow you do business and we collect tax just as its done all over the world. So, that doesn't mean you are bed rock of another man's land.
The economy of Ibadan or Ogun is still higher than any South East state not to talk of Lagos.
Almost half of Nigeria's economy is from South West with Lagos alone contributing over $131 billion out of $500 billion. With Ibadan, Delta and Ogun state following kano and port-harcourt in top 6.
Igbos should stop the dubious character of everything that is mine is mine and everything that is yours is ours. Respect others in order for them to reciprocal it.

Deadlytruth:

This victim of moronic plague is still ranting and transferring aggression here.
Why should I expect you to know that Edo tribe is not only limited to Benin but the entire Edo state and most parts of Delta State. Trying to divorce Uneme from Edo is akin to an attempt to divorce Mbaise from Igbo. It is like demanding a list of prominent Mbaise sons when Mbaise is an integral part of Igbo, and then accusing the person of always talking of Igbo, Igbo, Igbo rather than concentrate on Mbaise. You want to divorce Uneme from the Umbrella Bini but you cry blue murder whenever even an Ikwere man with his own mouths claims non-Igboness. See your hypocrisy? And in your shameless double standards you have never been able to tell us the particular subdivision of Igbo you come from. Mention it and tell produce a list of prominent Nigerians from that Igbo sub-group let's see.
Benin might be a spent force, but compared with Benin Nri is now an extinct force. Bini Monarch still exists and still actively commands reference from government quarters. Buhari aknowledged the Benin stool in his inauguration speech but made no mention of Nri. Even GEJ visited the Oba Palace during campaign but found no Nri ruins let alone Nri standing palace to ever visit, and this Nri man is comparing Nri to Benin and Edo as a whole. Very pitiable!

If we committed genocide against Aniomas, then how come Aniomas have continued to stick to the Bendelite identity? The truth is that within Benin City the Biafran soldiers soon became oppressive and overbearing after entering the Midwest. They started raping young girls sent to give them food by local sympathisers to the Biafran course despite everyone knew they did what triggered the war by killing all other region's leading lights in cold blood without touching any one of theirs. Yet after doing such a shameful and reproachable thing they wanted every other region to congratulate them and assist them to seceed from Nigeria so that they can escape the consequences of the blood they shed. What a people!
They claim the coup plotters had Yorubas among despite that it was clearly for tokenism. If not which of the targetted politicians or military officers did they assign to those Youbas to kill? None!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A sincere people would have assigned the Yorubas among them to kill Zik and Okpara so that they won't feel any tribal solidarity restraint which Ifeajuna later felt for Zik and Okpara and let them live. However, they quickly assigned Nwobosi, an Igbo, to kill Akintola so that there'd be no tribal solidarity restraint in Nwobosi at the point of action, and you tell me those Igbo guys did not know what they were doing?
I only pity the likes of Ademoyega and Nzeogwu who fell for that cheap trick (even though they were recruited just 3 months to go.)
Some Anioma army officers even colluded with Ojukwu for Biafra forces to invade Benin City and ancillary towns. Even at that a lot of mainland Igbos civilians living in most Edo towns, particularly my home town, during the war were protected by us by sending them into the attics to hide and giving them food and water there until the federal forces which came to search for them to kill had left without finding them. This we did at a grave risk of the federal forces finding out about our "disloyalty" and "treachery".
Some of those Igbos, due to that humane gesture, decided after the war to permanently live and die among us. Some married from among us and had children by our women, and their descendants live among us till today. Yet this uninformed, parochial and untravelled entity is here accusing us of killing Aniomas. Why is it that Aniomas themselves don't make this accusation but only mainland Igbos do? I have never read or heard any Anioma man claim they were killed by Edos during the war. If Aniomas were killed by us I doubt if they would not have discontinued with their tradition of giving integral roles to the Oba's representatives during coronation of any new Anioma monarch.
Do you now claim to know Aniomas' traducers more than the Aniomas themselves? Oh!, I forgot you recently cried over Jonathan's loss at the polls more than the SS who own him.

Ojukwu might have been intelligent enough at the Aburi Accord meeting but that does not detract from the fact that he too was an unrepentant One-Nigerianist at the initial stage while Ironsi was still in power therefore indicting all his posturings at Aburi as a pack of intelligent afterthoughts. Why could Igbos not urge ironsi to declare Biafra from the "ass lickers" and Arewanistan while he and Ojukwu held sway? Would it have cost any single bloodshed let alone genocide if Ojukwu and Ironsi had used their supreme powers to declare Biafra free from Arewa, Edos and Oduduwa as at when they were still in power? After all the cleavages and fault lines were already very bold and a lot of Igbos had already been killed in the North.

The mere fact that Ironsi left the four regions in place does not automatically equate to federalism. The difference between federalism and unitary system is not the mere existence of units but the degree to which those units are granted autonomy without interference from the centre. Britain has districts like Nottingham, Sheffield, etc. Does that mean Britain has become a federalist society?
Ironsi first removed the adjective "federal" from our official name thus becoming just "Republic of Nigeria" instead of the initial "Federal Republic of Nigeria". By that he implied that the federating units had practically ceased to exist.
Secondly, rather than replace the slain premiers by their deputies, ironsi replaced them with military officers whom he commanded to be reporting to him. In what kind of federalism do the federating units report to the centre? Before Ironsi came were the Ahmadu Bello, Akintola and Michael Okpara reporting to Balewa at the centre?
Aguyi Ironsi used his own mouth to name Decree 34 as Unification Decree. The dictionary is very clear on the meaning of unification and on which Ironsi could not have mistaken for something else in his intention. If Ironsi's decree 34 did not dismantle federalism, then why did it spark off spontaneous riots immediately it was announced? Also, why did Gowon later find it necessary to issue his own decree 56 to reverse Ironsi's Decree 34? Gowon actually restored the regions to status quo ante 100% and ran it like that for 11 months, but had to start re-adjusting negatively in order to cripple Ojukwu. If Ojukwu had not declared Biafra, Gowon would not have reversed himself.
....

So you Igbos knew Obasanjo in his first coming promulgated the land use decree to impoverish the minorities in 1978 but you still gave him bloc votes in 1999 when he contested to return to further impoverish the southern minorities now SS (not withstanding the fact that PDP fraudulently replaced your Alex Ekweme with OBJ in the primaries and you people did not protest)? Then what exactly is your grouse with other Nigerians? Does that not even suggest that igbos are the real enemies of the SS and of themselves as well?
In 2003 you Igbos still voted for OBJ who was the same dull, unintelligent, vindictive and wicked "ass licking Oduduwa slave of the Arewa in an election contested by Ojukwu your intelligent Aburi Accord Hero. Then what exactly is your goal and objective?
Does that not lay it bare that Igbos are their own problem? How can a people use their hands to vote a slave and alien into power through an election contested by their own hero and free born only for the same people to turn round and blame everyone except themselves for their mistake? Are those people normal at all? Where did such kind of people come from for goodness sake?

krazykoons:
its normal for some people to scream divide and rule.
yes it all started with crude oil, the minorities(especially ijaws) in the southsouth were shortchanged due to the exploitation of oil and gas resources in the Niger Delta areas which benefitted mainly from d Eastern region with capital in enugu.led by adaka boro they believed that the people of the area deserved a fairer share of proceeds of the oil wealth. He formed the Ijaw Volunteer Force , an armed militia with members consisting mainly of his fellow Ijaw ethnic group. They declared the Niger Delta Republic on February 23, 1966 and gallantly battled the aguiyi ironsi Federal forces for days but were finally routed Federal government. Boro was jailed for treason. However,Gowon granted him amnesty on the eve of the Nigerian civil war in May 1967.
he fought gallantly and helped in the chasing of Biafra forces out of the Niger Delta. even after the war,the minorities in the Niger Delta region declared IBO properties abandoned and they took control.
but as usual IBO will always bleat Yoruba because of the inherent hate gene in their blood.

The same way your people clinched with Abacha to the extent of organizing the notorious 1 million man march for him ?

By the way ,you dare not hate the Ijaws . The ijaw has the knife and the yam .They have the sea and the resources . They control your greedy destiny . I'm sure, they are aware of your ulterior motives too . Flat...heads iyaff suffer oo !!

Deadlytruth:
Who are Igbos' mates? Were they known before the arrival of whites? The Edo Kingdom and its peoples were already known in Europe as far back as the 13th century while Igbos were yet to even identify themselves as a tribe.

So suddenly Igbos are no longer interested in sharing a country with "ass lickers and Arewanistan" after they (Igbos) held us together with ass lickers and Arewanistan by their fraudulent "One Nigeria" sloganeering against our wish? You people's hypocrisy is mind-boggling. So you knew people were ass lickers and Arewanistan yet you sought oneness with them and even held them back when they tried to separate from Nigeria?

You knew Nigeria was a cesspit of Arewanistan and ass lickers yet you held Isaac Adaka Boro back from exiting the cesspit? What an interesting Irony!
When will you guys just be honest enough to accept that you were the cause of all what you now regret? You keep hailing Zik as a nationalist yet you term as a cesspit the very "one" Nigeria he built with his so-called nationalism. What an interesting irony! That's tantamount to speaking from both sides of the mouth.
.....

Well, the Enahoro who represented me saw it ahead that Nigeria was going to be a cesspit and he therefore proposed the secession clause in the constitution to make it easy for us his people, the yorubas, the Hausas and even Igbos, etc to exit the union later on if they felt cheated, but your Zik who was having wet dreams about one Nigeria resisted him and termed him a tribalist for that. So whose fault is it that you are now not able to exit the cesspit today?

Any educated and enlightened person knows that the only feature that distinguishes confederal constitutions from federal and unitary ones is the provision of a level of looseness which guarantees the right to secession. The constitution of Nigeria would therefore have been confederal if Enahoro's suggestion of the secession clause was accepted by Zik and his fellow Igbos. But Zik argued that the unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable and that secession clause was inimical to national unity and "One-Nigeria". Now, is there national unity today even with the non-inclusion of the secession clause? That means Zik was wrong, misguided and was fooling you people all along, yet you keep hailing him as a nationalist.
....
My Uneme-Nekhua people can't be seeking ways to salvage Nigeria as you charged us to. We won't do so because Nigeria has always been beyond salvage and we knew and acknowledged that right from Adam. Only Igbos refused to accept that reality and gospel truth initially.
Our blood has never been shed by Northerners at anytime as we, unlike Igbos, rarely go up North to seek greener pastures but go to Lagos or overseas for which we might be called prostitutes but however not killed in the process the way Igbos get killed in the North and have still remained there seeking one Nigeria. It is rather you Igbos that have had their blood repeatedly shed by Northerners to keep Nigeria one as directed by Zik. In furtherance of that Igbos kept forming alliances with the North each time after Northerners shed their blood all in a bid to "salvage" one Nigeria. Is that the way you want us Unemes and indeed all Edos too to contribute to the "salvaging" of one Nigeria? Igbos' laughable ways of reasoning! Ha ha ha ha....... Please cut that crap of a suggestion cos we are not that silly.
Our blood is too precious to sacrifice trying to correct the blunders Igbos made against all wise counsels and are still paying dearly for.
Your claim that Igbos are not ready to form a country with Arewanistan, ass lickers, treasury looters, blah, blah, blah...is pure rubbish as Igbos and Hausas are one and the same in Nigeria's politics. The BIA syllable of WAZOBIA is an Igbo word which, on the surface, means "come" but actually is the short form of BIAFRA in deeper meaning. So Biafra is part and parcel of WaZoBia. In fact Bia is directly tied to Zo in Wa-zobia spelling meaning that the Hausa and Igbos are closer together than everyone else. Just check it out Wa (ZoBia) meaning Yoruba (HausaIgbo). There is no Edo word in the Wazobia appellation. It is all a Yoruba -HausaIgbo affair. Live with that reality. Hausas love you and you love them even when they are slaughtering you. It happened in 1945 and 1953 yet in 1959 you went into a political marriage with them called NPC-NCNC (Arewanistan-Biafra) coalition. Twenty years later, in 1979, you again went into the NPN-NPP (still Arewanistan-Biafra) coalition. Twenty years again, 1999, still you went into the PDP (Arewanistan-Biafra) Coalition once more. Do you think the twenty year interval is just being coincidental? If you think so consider the fact that a Biafran called Ekweremadu zoned the PDP (Arewanistan-Biafra) ticket to Arewanistan North against 2019........another 20 years from 1999. Open your eyes and see that Hausa and Igbo oneness is non-negotiable as Zik put it. It even follows a rhyming pattern.

krazykoons:
prior independence IBOs said Hausas are their trustworthy friends while Yoruba was their enemy that needs checkmating.
so much for friendship
