Gowon had good intentions towards Igbos and wanted to mend fences but unfortunately some of his plans were never carried out. Joe Garba is not angas , he's tarok ,a neighboring tribe also in present day plateau state.

Neither a Bishop Oyedepo of far away kwara nor a senator smart adeyemi/Dino Melaye of kogi will ever open their mouth and say they are not Yorubas simply bcus they are 'northerners' by birth/find themselves in the north-central region, talkless of next door Edo/Delta.

The day u see any 'Adewale' either of brazil or benin republic or costa rica (talkless of Edo/delta) saying that he is neither yoruba nor have yoruba genes in his blood, just know that you are seeing a well-dressed madman/woman; e juss never 'enter market'.

Same way, any 'chukuebuka anyanwu' claiming he's not igbo BCUS OF GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION, na correct craze dey worry am.


End of story!

The fact say Bobrisky talk say him be woman, does that make it truth bcus he denied his 'prick-hood'?

Maybe you are the one who needs to relearn history and drop the rubbish lie you have been erroneously made to believe.

You need to realize that while you are here denying any affinity with Igbos, to the northerner, you are nothing but just another Igbo man.

Or do you know more history than Pa Clark, the sage?

Why are you quoting me?

You think Pa Clark’s version is the only history of read of Gowon’s overthrow?

But do you know why Pa Clark’s version seems to hold more authority over others? Because he was a member of cabinet that participated in cabinet meetings. He was in insider and he is giving an eyewitness account.

Can you compare it to the history written by someone who was not as close to the government as Clark was? Would you rate the version of people that are writing dem say dem say over an eyewitness account because it didn’t reinforce the falsehood you have been taught to believe?

Read ur history bro... I won't argue with u, he was part of those who carried it, but he was not the leader.

May I ask u, where was nzeogu and where was ifeajuna when the coup was been carried.

May I also ask u, why was OBJ not involved in the coup, because if u know ur history, u will know OBJ and nzeogu where bossom friends, right from their peace keeping in congo.

Bro read books mehn, read books.
Per the first bolded; opinions have always been unanimous that the coup plot was hatched and nurtured entirely in Lagos at least according to the author of the Why We Struck which most Igbos take as the most authoritative account. Now, how could Nzeogwu who was millions of kilometers away in Kaduna have been the leader and initiator of a coup architected in Lagos?

Per the second bolded, if you had followed your own advice of reading history books, you would have known that Obasanjo was far away in England on a military training course while the coup lasted hence there was just no way he could have been with Nzeogwu hence the alibi you are trying to employ here fails.

This your comment has me curious.

what kind of a house is your father’s house? If six of the people who live in it are Agbo sellers and pay their rent, is your father’s house a shanty?

If otherwise your father’s house is a modern property hosing six agbo sellers who pay their rent, agbo business must be really profitable then. Why do you think they should be ashamed for selling agbo?

Am glad I made this comment, you just made me realise that yorubas in the east can only live in shanty 😁

Well sorry to break your heart,it is actually my uncle's house,who is also like a father to me but died 2 years ago,

Oga my only brother was tbe first to drive range Rover sport in Nigeria(I know your poor mentality won't allow you believe this)he bought 3 range in 2006(2 HSE and one sport) ,was living in italy,he sold one HSE to Goodluck Jonathan then he was the deputy governor of bayelsa.sold the other HSE and used the sport,story from friends had it he was tbe first to come to silverbird gallery Lagos with that convoy and everywhere scattered.

He drove bently before that for 2 weeks in Lagos and sold it because that's how he brings back his milions as a hustler(you can call him a drug dealer if you like)😁 but he was much mkre than that.Street money better than your ritual money son.my father drives beast wagon(e class Benz)Incase you don't kmow the car,bought for him by my bro 2004 while him was driving Audi TT,first to drive it in ABA,we have swagg in our genes,always wants to do things first while others follow.Bought EOD for our first daughter while he was driving range sport then I was schooling in IMSU.....

So if my brother is this rich....do the mathe and you can imagine if my father lives in a mansion or shanty 😂😂😂😂

I really can’t make a meaning out of this rant. In the original comment I quoted, you said it was your father’s compound. I have no issues with whatever wealth your family has. If it’s a luxurious compound, it simply means agbo business is a thriving one. If on the contrary agbo business is not worth it, it simply means your rants is embellished with lies. Your father’s compound is not worth it because ‘agbo sellers comfortably pay rent to him.

Look for this book and read. Action was already in wen OBJ entered the country, there is no way nzeogu could have added him on such short time... From OBJ own words, nzeogu is a highly rugged and stubborn soldier, if he was the one in Lagos, ironsi won't survive it. Look for that book and read bro. The coup failed, it was actually the Igbos that stopped, ironsi stopped it in Lagos, ojokwu stopped it Enugu, the only successful one was where nzeogu was.


Like I said, look for that book and read... OBJ wrote that book, he is a Yoruba man, so he won't lie to protect igbos

Before we take things too seriously, we must remember that this is but a book written by a politician.

And what does a politician do when he gets a platform? He campaigns for himself and his "significant others" and campaigns against the "other party"

Go back to your comment and look at the dates again. Pa Clark and Southsouth leaders endorsed GEJ for second term in 2013 according to the report you posted.

Is 2 years not enough time for new realities to emerge that would invalidate whatever perception he had of Jonathan?

Similarly with him once ascribing Obasanjo as the most corrupt president ever…

Take Jonathan’s administration for instance, people swore he was the worst president ever until Buhari came to smashed that record.

So also with Tinubu, a lot of us thought no one would be worst than Buhari but Tinubu smashed Buhari’s record in less than 3 months.

Would you now blame those who had addressed Jonathan as the worst president ever only to see that Buhari was even worse, as being inconsistent if they now withdrew the “worst president” title from Jonathan and give it to Buhari or Tinubu?

You are trying so hard to give the man a bad name so that you can hang him.

Let’s even assume he supported Jonathan deep into the election, after Buhari was sworn in, Dasuki was arrested which brought about the infamous Dasukigate where it was revealed that the man misappropriated $2billion dollars that was meant for arms procurement to combat Boko Haram. You still think Pa Clark should have stuck to supporting Jonathan even with such revelation, considering his moral standing in the society?

Again, even if he was all you accused him of in 2015, how does that negate his eyewitness account of what he witnessed under Gowon?

Yeah, we know, northerners would rather have a dead goat as Nigeria’s president than the most brilliant Igbo man.

But let’s see how long that will last.
