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.


Go out from Nigeria or you will continue crying forever

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.

Sponsored by Igbo but Igbo were the paying the price at last

“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”

Lol. Nothing lasts forever. Kingdoms rise and fall. Our time is coming too. You may witness it or may not but it will surely come.
Meanwhile, I hope you're enjoying the Nigeria you and your fathers have been controlling for decades.

Cardinal Jim Rex Lawson was a great musician proudly of a Kalabari father and Igbo mother. His legacy will forever remain. He sang a song called 'Ewu nebe akwa' in 1965 and isn't liable for whatever whoever makes of it thereafter. It wasn't a diss song at the time he sang it and should be respected as such.
Illleave you to continue to stew in your hateful solace of 'paying the price at last'.
The reputation of you Yorubas has taken a geavy nosedive as a result of the exposition about you through the internet. You can't see it and won't see it because hate has beclouded you. We shall see how the few years ahead will be for the well established hypocrites.
