Hmm. This people and lying sha. Ok. lets assume that the actual price of Petrol has gone up because of increase in Crude oil prices. Is Nigeria not part of those selling Crude at a higher rate too? What is NNPC doing with the excess they make per barrel?

Per 2021 Budget, the assumed a daily production of 1.86m barrel at $40. even assuming they only produce 1.5m barrel per day at 68 dollars, that still gives over 10.7bn per day as excess over their budget. Publicly available info says Nigeria produces about 1.9m bbp. But let us be conservative.

Publicly available data states that we consume 51m litres of PMS daily. If the landing cost is N240, that is a whole subsidy of N75 per litre or N3.85b daily.
Why cant they take they use part of the extra 10bn from crude income to defray the subsidy?

All this scam sha.

Obaseki was right.
Buhari and APC lied

What a country.

For decades now, billions of dollars have been pumped into the power sector yet no light.

Billions pumped into moribund refineries yet no functional refinery.

Billions of dollars pumped into defence yet no security anywhere, nobody is safe in this country

Numerous taxes and increments here and there.

Are we cursed or what?

What is the problem with Nigeria and Nigerians?

Why are we too greedy, selfish, evil and wicked as human beings?

What is one person or family doing with 20 billion naira?

How long do we even have to live to be this corrupt, greedy and wicked.

Corruption, corruption, everywhere corruption

God why my country?

For please help leave this country for good.

Where are all those who try to downplay the importance of "our Niger Delta oyel"?

You don't know NNPC also has her operational cost?
They should charge you Nigerian bastards 600 Naira/ per litre. You deserve ALL the pain they can inflict.

COMPAQ:

*Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe and Northern Alliance*

When Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria -

- Chief of Army Staff was from SE
- Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
- IG of Police was from SE
- Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
- Internal Affairs Minister from SE
External Affairs
Minister SE
- Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministerial positions to the SE
- Parliament President SE
- Unilag VC from SE
- The University of Ibadan VC from SE
*BUT, North resisted same at ABU!*

Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE. The officers from the SE region killed this same Balewa !!!!

Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria:
SE has 37, none was killed.
8 from the north, all of them were killed.
10 from the west, 2 were killed.

Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!

_We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth._ This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth..... at times when lies litter the streets, there is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.

_The following are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity !_

*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from the regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the Head of State then.* Today, he is shouting restructuring that which he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”.

WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF THEIR WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY:

The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa-fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgment were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation. The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the average Igbo man is fond of narrating.

However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.

Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.

To that end, *Ahmadu Bello* speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 *described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914* which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
*Awolowo* speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, *described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation* Awolowo added *that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy* - freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.

*But Nnamdi Azikiwe* speaking for the Igbos, *denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions* He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further *that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable*

After moving the Motion for independence in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe

Before independece, *Tafawa Balewa too* had in a public speech *described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in* But *Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too* _Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned._

It should be noted that there were many Igbo Members of the Parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.

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"..... Zik (1945)._

_"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma (1949).

Anascopeterson:
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.

While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo in 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.
When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that frustrated the attempts. Here is how:

In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address. But when the D-day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard. Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government. However, the British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for treasonable felony. Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance.

On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.

Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint". After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC and moved over to Awolowo's Action Group.

*The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo army officers* _That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years._

Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day. In addition to the killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every region except their Eastern Region.

In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heroes. This was actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. *On the 23rd of February 1966* (i.e. a month and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup) an Ijaw born Army officer called *Isaac Adaka Boro* who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, *declared the secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people* from the monumental marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region.
But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to the military high command under him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal.

Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his previous rank.

*Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria* and without consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, *drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic* for which he fought against him and killed his soldiers. Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession declaration 15 months earlier.
Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of Biafra. But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But *from the facts above, who really betrayed the other in all honesty?* _Be the judge._

*Why Gowon Fought Against Ojukwu's Declaration of Biafra:*

After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging. Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So *when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession, he was reminded of the Anti-secession Decree* made by him and his brother Ironsi.

*Deadly Truth:*
Igbos frequently reference *Aburi Accord* to create the impression that the rest of Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.

First and foremost, *Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle.* Secondly, those *civil servants and military men* in attendance *were not elected by their Federal Constituencies* to the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy, the only universally acceptable way of making laws is through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi, the peoples' representatives duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process. *Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the people?* Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. *Aburi Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty* hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have been allowed to stand.

Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the *Independence Constitutional Conference* Those representatives all resolved and agreed on *Federalism* marked by *regional autonomy and resource control* in the Independence Constitution which they brought back home and everyone accepted it.

In that constitution, *Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power* It was also clearly stated in it that amendments to it could be done by only democratically elected representatives.

That constitution was the 1st ever agreement between all Nigerians. On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence Constitution regardless of the circumstances that may later arise. But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees and ended up dismantling the *Federalism and Resource Control* therein and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. *That was the height of irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement* That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements.
So, Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence Constitution Agreement.

Is this the way our darling nation will move forward when states will always depend on the Federation Account?
Why can't other states emulate Lagos State : the stat of firsts.

When Obasanjo stopped paying Monthly allocation to Lagos State Years back, The state economy never collapsed, they even started progressing more and more.

Whoever drafted the foolish constitution won't end well.
Many things needs to be change.
Starting from the power of incumbency rubbish.

Nigeria must be great again.

Oga stop being silly,no state can ever be like Lagos. tell buhari to readjust the revenue sharing formula so States gets more money than the confused FG.

But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees and ended up dismantling the *Federalism and Resource Control* therein and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. *That was the height of irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement* That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements.
So, Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence Constitution Agreement.

Is this the way our darling nation will move forward when states will always depend on the Federation Account?
Why can't other states emulate Lagos State : the stat of firsts.

When Obasanjo stopped paying Monthly allocation to Lagos State Years back, The state economy never collapsed, they even started progressing more and more.

Whoever drafted the foolish constitution won't end well.
Many things needs to be change.

*THE SMPLE REASON WHY HAUSAS, YORUBAS, EDO AND THE NIGER DELTA MAN WILL NOT TRUST THE IBO MAN AT THE CENTER and WHY THE HAUSAS MAY NOT WANT TO RELINQUISH POWER IN NIGERIA*
_Any historian in the house can vet this but devoid of insults or character assassination please:_

*Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe and Northern Alliance*

When Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria -

- Chief of Army Staff was from SE
- Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
- IG of Police was from SE
- Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
- Internal Affairs Minister from SE
External Affairs
Minister SE
- Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministerial positions to the SE
- Parliament President SE
- Unilag VC from SE
- The University of Ibadan VC from SE
*BUT, North resisted same at ABU!*

Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE. The officers from the SE region killed this same Balewa !!!!

Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria:
SE has 37, none was killed.
8 from the north, all of them were killed.
10 from the west, 2 were killed.

Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!

_We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth._ This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth..... at times when lies litter the streets, there is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.

_The following are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity !_

*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from the regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the Head of State then.* Today, he is shouting restructuring that which he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”.

WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF THEIR WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY:

The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa-fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgment were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation. The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the average Igbo man is fond of narrating.

However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.

Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.

To that end, *Ahmadu Bello* speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 *described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914* which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
*Awolowo* speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, *described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation* Awolowo added *that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy* - freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.

*But Nnamdi Azikiwe* speaking for the Igbos, *denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions* He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further *that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable*

After moving the Motion for independence in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe

Before independece, *Tafawa Balewa too* had in a public speech *described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in* But *Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too* _Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned._

It should be noted that there were many Igbo Members of the Parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.

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"..... Zik (1945)._

_"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma (1949).

Anascopeterson:
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.

While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo in 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.
When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that frustrated the attempts. Here is how:

In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address. But when the D-day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard. Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government. However, the British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for treasonable felony. Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance.

On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.

Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint". After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC and moved over to Awolowo's Action Group.

*The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo army officers* _That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years._

Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day. In addition to the killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every region except their Eastern Region.

In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heroes. This was actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. *On the 23rd of February 1966* (i.e. a month and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup) an Ijaw born Army officer called *Isaac Adaka Boro* who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, *declared the secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people* from the monumental marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region.
But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to the military high command under him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal.

Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his previous rank.

*Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria* and without consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, *drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic* for which he fought against him and killed his soldiers. Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession declaration 15 months earlier.
Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of Biafra. But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But *from the facts above, who really betrayed the other in all honesty?* _Be the judge._

*Why Gowon Fought Against Ojukwu's Declaration of Biafra:*

After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging. Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So *when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession, he was reminded of the Anti-secession Decree* made by him and his brother Ironsi.

*Deadly Truth:*
Igbos frequently reference *Aburi Accord* to create the impression that the rest of Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.

First and foremost, *Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle.* Secondly, those *civil servants and military men* in attendance *were not elected by their Federal Constituencies* to the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy, the only universally acceptable way of making laws is through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi, the peoples' representatives duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process. *Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the people?* Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. *Aburi Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty* hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have been allowed to stand.

Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the *Independence Constitutional Conference* Those representatives all resolved and agreed on *Federalism* marked by *regional autonomy and resource control* in the Independence Constitution which they brought back home and everyone accepted it.

In that constitution, *Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power* It was also clearly stated in it that amendments to it could be done by only democratically elected representatives.

That constitution was the 1st ever agreement between all Nigerians. On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence Constitution regardless of the circumstances that may later arise. But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees and ended up dismantling the *Federalism and Resource Control* therein and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. *That was the height of irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement* That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements.
So, Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence Constitution Agreement.

*Anasco Peterson:* _Obasanjo removed history from the school curriculum hence the reason why many of what we know of the eventualities in Biafra war were altered to suite their narratives._

You are not being truthful in your narrative and I tell you why:

1. You have not told us what and who killed Isaac Adaka Boro.

2. In your writeup, you asked, "Where on earth do the military write constitution for the people?" Again, in your deceptive mindset, you forgot to add that it happened in Nigeria under Gen Absusallam Abubakar. That army man prepared and handed over the 1999 constitution to Nigerians.

Again, people of your type didn't see anything wrong with that.

3. Finally, since in your words, the Igbos are the cause of Nigeria woes, how come the Hausas and Yorubas who eliminated and took over power from Aguiyi Ironsi for over 50 years have failed woefully to save Nigeria from the present disintegration?

Is there anything you're hiding in your narrative or are you about to tell us that Ironsi locked the doors and took away the keys?

Thank GOD you are putting to use the wonderful brain THE ALMIGHTY GOD gave, really I am so happy. My brother when national issues comes up,be firm just as you have done now with your comment. Supporting Buhari will not bring solutions, if he fail say it and don't quote it. GOD bless you.

PHijo:


You don't know NNPC also has her operational cost?
They should charge you Nigerian bastards 600 Naira/ per litre. You deserve ALL the pain they can inflict.

So the operational cost was not factored inside the $40 dollars before? So if you take a bowl of garri to market to sell at N500, and you were able to sell at N700, your operational cost increases automatically?

By the way, the price they sell fuel has no impact on me. And your words shows you are the bastard.

opalu:
When oil revenue ceases, there are many benefits:-
1. All the Lazy Governors will sit up and be more productive.
2. People wont treat election as do or die due to free money.
3. It is only those who have real solutions that will be attracted to leadership positions.
4. More than 70% of Nigerian Agencies and Parastatals are heavy liabilities. So they will naturally fold up and be scrapped for only those generating profits.
5. Companies will all migrate to only states that are conducive for their businesses.

Nice write up but if oil revenue goes dry dem go kill me and u with taxes to raise money that’s their plan b

Am telling you and the guy said the write up are facts
Even a kid will see the obvious lies littered in the post.

He didn't mention how Ojukwu released a prominent Yoruba leader from prison in the East, provided him military Escort to Yoruba land, only for him to later betray Ojukwu.
He didn't mention how ironsi was called back from a peace mission outside the country to head the military and government against his wish.
He didn't mention the thousands of Igbos that were killed, many bodies dumped in northern walls before Ojukwu decided that enough is enough, if we can't live in peace let's go our separate ways.

Interviews of northern leaders open hatred for Igbos is all over the net for all to see.

My Dad happens to be one of the top officers of the Army before and during the civil war, he told us how they suffered betrayals upon betrayals from their counterparts from other regions simply because of Jealousy...which is still very much evident today.

You Nigerians are! It was not directed to you as an individual. It was directed to all who promoted and keep promoting this fraud called a country. They don't know their 'father', if they did, they would probably be pushing for the dissolution of this fraudulent union.

Of course not, it was not factored into the $40. If NNPC was to function as company Nigeria won't get 1 Naira from NNPC apart from dividends and taxes.

Just like Dangote, they would have been qualified to get tax credits too.

I see NNPC as a criminal enterprise, an enterprise used by the rest of Nigeria to rob my people but that is a story for another day.

My apologies then. I thought the comments were personal to me.

It is a pity though they way things are. Fuel subsidies are quite bad, but what is worse is the need to transport our crude all the way to Europe to refine at commercial rate before bringing it back to Nigeria.

No, they were not. No, you don't have to apologise. It is all good. I understand how you felt. I would have felt the same way. My statement was kind of vague too. Most people would have taken offence like you did.

All of Nigeria's problem stems from the fact we have refused to respect ethnic boundaries. All of these things wouldn't happen if the respective ethnic nations managed their affairs and paid a fraction to the centre.

A Kanuri man from the outskirts of Maiduguri will be responsible for planning projects that would affect the live of an Ijaw man in Bonny. There is bound to be a total disconnect. That is why it always feels as if Nigerians are stupid because stupid decisions will always be made under such circumstances.
