I think I don't have to keep prolonging this conversation, you can demonize Zik and Ironsi the way you want but both men are honourable men, as if the civil war was not going to happen, it could have happened anyway, so what are you saying, Nigeria was going to have a war someday, because the arrangements of the regional government was not right even back then, midwest as a region was smaller than AlaIgbo, why wasn't ndigbo made a distinct region.

You expect Zik and Ironsi to do the magic to pull Biafra out, where was your grand father then, you forget that there was a coup lead by Igbos and you tell Ironsi to eliminate notherners from his ranks, are you saying then he was a mastermind to the coup,. It is easy for us to say what others could have done or what they didn't do but if it were us, I don't think we could have taken different steps.

oga stop talking nonsense...u never mentioned Biafra neither am I a believer in this new Biafra struggle....zik should have done exactly what my grand dad ( stay out of politics )instead of aligning with the north. My grand was quite wealthy and even built the Anglican Church in my village.. HOLY TRINITY mbieri umuchoke. .we lost 98% of that wealth during the civil war and abandoned property in ph. Anyways good day
