“Igbo in the North were widely taunting their hosts on the loss of their leaders. Celestine Ukwu, a popular Igbo musician, released songs titled Ewu Ne Ba Akwa (Goats Are Crying) and others celebrating “Igbo power”, the “January Victory.” Posters, stickers, postcards, cartoons displaying the murdered Sardauna begging Major Nzeogwu at the gates of heaven or Balewa burning outright in pits of hell or Nzeogwu standing St. George-like on Sardauna, the defeated dragon, began to show up across Northern towns and cities. These provocations were so pervasive that they warranted the promulgation of Decree 44 of 1966 banning them”. Even Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe noted these atrocities in his The Origins of the Civil War: “Some Ibo elements, who were domiciled in Northern Nigeria taunted northerners by defaming their leaders through means of records or songs or pictures. They also published pamphlets and postcards, which displayed a peculiar representation of certain northerners, living or dead, in a manner likely to provoke disaffection.” These images and songs eventually led to the so-called pogroms/ethnic-cleansing/genocide, not the coup”

You'll surely die of your hatred for Ndigbo. A simple google search would have confirmed to you that Cardinal Jim Rex Lawson was the owner of that song and it had nothing to do with mocking anyone. He also sang songs in many other languages and is of Kalabari origin. However, your hate for Ndigbo won't ever allow you to the right thing. May your instigation against Ndigbo instead be visited on your own people who have refused to caution you.

The song ‘Ewu na ebe akwa’ was not done by Celestine Ukwu. That was performed by Cardinal Rex Lawson and Rex Lawson was not an Igbo man.

Celestine Ukwu did not perform that song.

I have seen publications done in 1904, 1913, through to publication during the first and second world war. Using Google will reveal these publications, including cartoons. Why is it that this so called drawn cartoon done in just recent 1966 cannot be validated with evidence. Can you post any of such cartoon here so we all can see it>

You demonic Yorubas will always do all you can to link anything you perceive negative to Igbos but we Igbos of this generation will continue to expose you devils for the whole world to see.
Cardinal Rex Jim Lawson was a Kalabari man born of Kalabari father and Igbo mother from Owerri. He was a great musician and was regarded the best of all highlife musician at the time. He was a very gifted person who could sing in different languages which he did to produce over 100 songs at a very young age and was loved by almost everyone except some jealous Yorubas( I'll explain this side when the need arises).

The song 'Ewu nebe akwa' was sang and produced in the year 1965. This alone renders all the evil drivel that you've been pointing towards Ndigbo as pure falsehood. You're evil and deserve every form of destruction that shall come your way.
Cardinal Rex Jim Lawason was given the title of 'Cardinal' because of his very calm and peaceful personality. Even from his pictures, one can see that such a man isn't one that can harbour any evil towards others. Only demons like you can start troubling the man's soul by lying against him. Shame on you.

Thank you for confirming what I stated earlier on. You guys tried to hide his maternal heritage till I pointed it out.

Rex Jim Lawason sang the song in Ibo, his mother tongue. Ibos weaponized it to taunt the Northerners Fact!

Same way Peter Obi weaponized ibos hatred for Awolowo when he was in APGa.

You're a madman. I thought you claimed he was Igbo and he sang the song specifically for Igbos to use in taunting the northerners? Now, I've debunked all your lies yet you fell back to saying his mother is Igbo. If she's Igbo so what? Was the song not sang before 1966? Is he not a Kalabari man again? You Yorubas are demonic.

You are missing some screws in your brain..he is Ibo just like GRV. He sand an Ibo song in his native mother tongue.

That's the Igbo way of life. They cause problems and try to disassociate themselves from it when it becomes more than what they can handle. They quickly said Major Nzeogwu wasn't Igbo when he was Infact an Igbo man from Anioma.

They said IPOB wasn't the cause of the anthrocities in the SE when Infact it was the IPOB leader himself Nnamdi Kanu that told his boys to start killing soldiers and size their weapons. Now they are saying UGM is DSS grin

I don't expect any sane reasoning from you however, I'll try and explain for those who can reason out things.
It was on record that most people(across most regions and ethnic groups) rejoiced and were happy about the coup at the time. The fact that is hidden is how the media at the time turned the story around and branded it an ethnic coup set the ideal ground for the pogrom that followed thereafter. It isn't strange for some persons to be mindless about celebrating beyond reasonable limits and this can be found eveywhere all over the world.
How some of you now turn around to blame all Igbos for the insensitivity of a few is beyond belief.
I've heard the same story from some people in the north who were alive and adults at the time and how angry it made them. I guess the slaughtering of tens of thousands of Igbo men, women and children by both civilians, paramilitary and military groups from the northern population was justified in that circumstance.
The same way the Nigerian media today is reporting the fulani wiping off indigenous tribes in the middlebelt under the name of farmers/herders clash. The Nigerian army is used to disarm any community that manages to get few arms for defense purposes leaving them defenseless and the same Nigerian soldiers posted at the hotspot areas will say they weren't given orders to act when the villagers under attack send an SOS message to them. It is people like you in future who will say the villagers deserved it.
