An Amaechi, a Wike, a Silva, an Emefiele, et al coming out to declare for presidency when they should be adopting a Southeastern candidate. But wetin concern me, the Eebos are politically naive but would not want to agree. That's what will make them languish in political wilderness for long. They need to learn 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yorubas didn’t become bitter like you Igbos, they moved on as an opposition party. 2nd republic came like the first one, Igbos formed another political alliance with the North again against the Yorubas again, Ekwueme became the Vice President while Yorubas became the opposition party.

obilokechukwu: I quite understand the bitterness and frustration captured in your post. Prior to the event of January 1966, the Igbos were occupying very important posts and positions in every sphere of government in Nigeria. The Igbos should do a 'soul search' and an honest self criticism of what happened on January 15th, 1966 if they are honestly interested in addressing the reason for the lack of trust of Igbos, by other political blocks and ethnic groups, in Nigeria. The write up below, might provide an insight to the reasons why the Igbos are facing discrimination, in Nigeria. Background to discrimination against the Igbos in Nigeria. The events took place in the context of military coups d'etat and in the prelude to the Nigerian Civil War. The perceived lack of Igbo humility has been identified as one of the factors that sparked the pogroms, resulting in popular hostility toward the Igbos. The immediate precursor to the massacres was the January 1966 Nigerian coup d'etat led mostly by young Igbo officers. Most of the politicians and senior army officers killed by them were northerners, including the Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto. Aguiyi-Ironsi then assumed power, forcing the civilian government to cede authority. He established a military government led by himself as supreme commander. In the months following the coup, it was widely noted that four of the five army Majors who executed the coup were Igbo and that the General who took over power was also Igbo. It was feared that the Igbo had set out to take control of the country and in Northern Nigeria, the fear of Igbo dominance, became intense. On 29 July, 1966 Northern military officers carried out a counter coup in which 240 Southern officers and men, three-quarters of whom were Igbo, including Ironsi, as well as thousands of civilians of southern origin, living in the North, were systematically killed. In the aftermath, Yakubu Gowon, a Northerner, assumed command of the military government. It is with this background that increasing ethnic rivalries led to further massacres. The massacres were widely spread in the north and peaked on the 29 May, 29 July and 29 September, 1966. By the time the pogrom ended, virtually all Igbos living in Northern Nigeria were either killed, hiding among sympathetic Northerners or on their way to the Eastern region. The massacres were led by the Nigerian Army and replicated in various Northern Nigerian cities. Although Colonel Gowon was issuing guarantees of safety to Southern Nigerians living in the North, the intention of a large portion of the Nigerian Army at the time, was genocidal as was the common racist rhetoric among Tiv, Idoma, Hausa and other Northern Nigerian tribes. With the exception of few Northern Nigerians, mostly army officers, who were convinced that the Igbo were not innately evil, the Southern and Eastern Nigerians were generally regarded at the time, in Northern Nigeria, as evil as described by Charles Keil; The Igbo and their ilk...vermin and snakes to trod underfoot...dogs to be killed. One factor that led to the hostility toward Southern Nigerians in general and Igbo in particular, was the attempt by the Aguiyi Ironsi regime to abolish regionalisation in favor of a unitary system of government which was regarded as a plot to establish Igbo domination in the Federation. On 24 May 1966, Ironsi issued a unitary decree, which led to an explosion of attacks against the Igbo in Northern Nigeria. On 29 May, 1966, the British press was unanimous in its conviction at the time that the May 29 killings were organized and not spontaneous. The Ironsi regime was also perceived to have been favoring Southern Nigerians in the appointment to key positions in government, thus heightening the inter ethnic rivalries. The failure of the Ironsi regime to punish the army mutineers responsible for the January 1966 coup further exacerbated the situation. The May 1966 pogrom was carried out by rampaging mobs with the connivance of local government officials. According to British newspaper reports at the time, about 30,000 Igbo were killed in September 1966, while more conservative estimates put the casualties at between ten and thirty thousand for that month. This spree of killings carried on into early October and was carried out by civilians sometimes aided by army troops and swept the entire north. It has been described as the most painful and provocative incident leading to the Nigeria-Biafra war. Aftermath The pogroms led to mass movement of Igbo and other Eastern Nigerians back to Eastern Nigeria (it is estimated that more than one million Igbos returned to the Eastern region). It also was the precursor to Ojukwu's declaration of Eastern Nigeria's secession from the Federation as the Republic of Biafra, and the resulting Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), which Biafra lost. |

beerfraud: If truly Pa Edwin Clark is a Stateman and a Patriotic one then he should set an example by first telling th PDP which is his party to without any form of feet dragging give the the presidential ticket to the South East and let those in the PDP who are of that zone should do the needful. He should also remember the APC is not a party to that arrangement since the South East have bluntly spoken that the APC is a fulani party and by their stand they don't even have a formidable crowd in the party to seize a ticket. |

paramakina202: Spoken like a real osu. Where in my post, did I write that Umu Nri should lead other Igbo groups? As for whether Umu Nri have jurisdiction over any other Igbo groups. If your town recognizes eke, oye/orie, afo and nkwo, that town already has Nri links If you take nze, ozo and duru titles, you recognize Nri When you commit an abomination in your father's compound and your father is not recognized by the land/ANA/ANI/ALA as qualified to lift that abomination, however ANA/ANI recognizes the spiritual authority of the Nri man to get rid of that abomination in your own father's compound, then Umu Nri have cultural jurisdiction in your father's compound.
