Penguin2:

Does the US have a state policy of excluding a particular tribe from power and making sure nothing works in their region?

Your problem is that you kneel on people’s neck and expect them never to complain but carry on like nothing happened “for the interest of the nation.”

Absolute balderdash!

Until Nigeria is ready to treat every Nigerian as equal, peace will continually elude her.
When these people say national interest, what they actually mean is their tribal interest.

It was not Murtala that did the coup.
He was invited by coup plotters.

if Murtala never lost his life, he will still be president past 1980. Even IBB would not dare plan a coup against him.

juman:
Muhammed muritala was right.
A man who was "responsible for the destruction of the refinery in Port Harcourt" was not good as head of NNPC.
He was security risk.

There's a reason why the first ever president of Nigeria was an Igbo man; Igbos are nation builders. They keep hating while the Igbos keeps progressing despite the gang up against them.

Even in this bulablu's current shameful run as a president, we know the region who are feeling the heat the most.

Na them full social media dey beg for food everyday.

Why other officers supported the coup.
There was general dissatisfaction in the military against gowon.
Gowon knew it but failed to build a network of trusted officers in the military.

Mr Coldie, you better look @things Properly.😏

Chief E.K. Clark is bringing out the MARGINALIZATION of Igbos, open for all to see,
because it is Affecting Nigera's Growth.😕

Nothing concerns we Ijaws, here.🙁

You IGBOS Should be Happy with him, for this Expose.🤔🙂
Una no dae straight forward, neither do u people stand for sth.

Ijaws fought igbos during the war it's no news it's widely known, major reason is a story for another day. Oil was found in ijaw land first before other parts of the south, they told ijaws that igbos wanted their oil that they should fight to keep igbos away from their oil, 50years later they started discovering same oil all over Igbo land 3 of the 5eastern states have oil.

Now that igbos were defeated and Biafra extinct it's time to share the spoils of war, an ijaw man that fought against an Igbo man to protect their oil and the spoils of war, instead of him to be amongst the people enjoying this spoils they immediately branded him an igbo man and excluded him from the spoils.

Who be the loser here? The igbo man way right from time him no dae reason to enjoy any spoils of war, or the ijaw man way go fight igbo man in the name of keeping igbos away from their oil, only for when time to enjoy reach them tell am say himself be igbo man.


Answer me who be the loser in this story, the ijaw man or the Igbo man?

Murtala had road map to democracy. He planned to leave.

An Elder, a Sage, is telling you what he witness (an eyewitness account), and you, a baby, is accusing him of distorting history.

How dare you?

What authority did you rely on to arrive at that conclusion?
Thank you for asking me questions.
1. South-South, Middle Belt elders endorse Jonathan for 2015

ByPremium Times June 17, 2013
Elders from the South-South and Middle Belt comprising North Central and North East zones on Monday endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2015 presidential election.

The elders led by two elder statesmen, Chief Edwin Clark; and former Senate President, Ameh Ebute; met behind closed doors with Mr. Jonathan at the State House in Abuja.

Mr. Clark, who addressed State House correspondents after the meeting said, members of the group under the aegis of Congress for Equality and Change, were drawn from 19 States.
Till the 2015 elections Good luck was the best for the country by Grandpa Edwin Clark

2. And on October 7, 2015 the vanguard reads

Edwin Clark backs Buhari, says Jonathan ‘too gentle’ to fight corruption
Now Buhari was on the throne, he is now with Buhari

3. Do you know that Grandpa defended and supported every action of Good luck Jonathan as a president and immediately the guy lost Grandpa was already with Supporting Buhari and calling Good luck names even by August the same year.

Are you telling such a person should be believe, pls do so at your peril.

4. Then you can't be serious to believe that only a decision of making an Igbo man the MD of whatever. Don't you think that's too simple for all the coup and it's today grandpa remembers.

Let me tell you what I know about grandpa. Everything he is skimming is to be able to enjoy certain benefits and getting close to Tinubu.

He is a business man.

Why will Murtala be happy when Igbo soldiers were the ones that killed their leaders, Tafawa Balewa, AHMODU Bello etc. That was the origin of the hatred we are witnessing in today's Nigeria

Igbos attempted to break away with Biafra which contains the crude oil and gas deposits in Nigeria.

Most of the Fulani have a lot against the Igbo in Nigeria because Fulani depends solely on cheap cash from crude oil in Igbo land and rest of the Niger Delta region for survival in Nigeria.
That's why Fulanii-led government of Nigeria went to extraordinary level and declared IPOB as terrorist organisation; after Fulani-led armed forces of Nigeria in a terrorist manner killed hundreds of unarmed IPOB people.
That's why the leader of IPOB is still in detention.
