Truth is, he opened the gate of hell for Nigeria. Saying someone is pushing Ibo hate is trash because he acted specifically for the Ibo by placing Ibos in strategic positions for future ethnic agendam

Creamypie:
ogami. Greedy Ironsi, Ben nwabueze and others started everything by abolishing regional government and establishment of central or unitary government. It has nothing to do with creation of states by dividing it into regions. The purpose of creation was for identity of the many minority tribes that make up southern Nigeria today, and creating Igbo states b4 d war, cos the oil in D was seen by gowon as one of ojujwus reasons for Biafra creation. Subsequent governments followed suit. Who no like power. Infact ironsi wasn't even supposed to enter power as the coup by them nzeogwu had been suspended, .nwafor orizu, senate president and fellow igboman, was the supposed to be president, as azikiwe was away and balewa had been killed, but for ironsi longthroat.B4 any person insult me, I be deltan and an urhobo man from ughelli north

at least they ruled when they were young, not the aged great grand-fathers ruling now, see how he was ditching out his food, unlike those in power now

dettolgel:


Please it was a military decree and Gowon was a military leader why didn't he repeal it? What about Buhari, ObJ, Abacha and IBB? They were all military leaders and never repealed it. Ironsi never lived long to implement it. Take Kano for instance, the new governor just undid a law the previous one passed that they are not comfortable with.

Secondly, in your statement you said the SEners are the one feeling the heat the most. If I may ask can you look at all the indices of well-being starting from independence till date and see how each region has evolved over the years .

If you are referring to someone from SE not being a president, then that is useless given that Buhari has been president twice and his state Katsina has not experienced any sustainable development, likewise every other presidents.

Unless you are saying that the corrupt and thieving politicians from the East are unable to get their hands on the loots like their counterpart from other region, that I can agree with you on?

So Aguiyi should be blamed because his predecessors continued his decree and couldn’t change it after 60 years and 15 presidents and blaming him sounds to you like your brain is still normal? The bitterness you people have nurtured over the years for the igbos as the reason why you are not successful has done a lot of damage to you people mental health and iif it continues like this the psychiatrist hospitals in your side cannot contain the fallout of what is about to happen in the next few years

Your question reveals your innate ignorance...

Lemme give you an assignment
.tear a sheet of paper and write it down .

Question 1: What will he take Tinubu government to change the country Political system from this present unitary -democracy system of government to a regional government ....
pls make sure you do this assignment because This is one.of the ways you can educate yourself

DMerciful:
It wasnt hard for him to do it in less than six months but hars for nigeria to fix it in 58yrs and counting.

How did Ironsi destroy the regions?

NinjaMetahuman:
yes it's easier to destroy than build.

All it's takes to destroy over 2 decades of Shakey democracy we currently enjoy is one stupid military guy with a gun to declare coup for less than 24hrs.
Now imagine how long its gonna take to get it back even if that military ediot wasn't allowed to rule.

Ironsi is 100% responsible for the shitty system of governance we have today.

His horrible action empowered horrible political class that are not ready to relquinsh power to the old system that favored everyone..

Know this and know peace.

Afamsi:
Tinubu doesnt need to go through all the stress you mentioned. Let him just pass into law the result of the national conference held during Goodluck Jonathan government

Amah70:



Yeye still de smell.
Aguiyi Ironsi did not destroy regional government system in Nigeria. He rather took some powers from the regional to the central government to preempt imminent disintegration of Nigeria then. Subsequently,
Northern military dictators totally dismantled regional government system and progressively created today's suffocating unitary government system after proliferating too many and mostly non viable 19 states and Abuja in the old Northern region but created only 17 states in the two old southern regions.

Irony1:


Again you said igbo allies so the following Yorubas are now igbos Major Ademoyega, Capt Adeleke and Lt Fola Oyewole. Again you don't know how you guys are setting yourselves up to be arrested for ethnic baiting. This post of yours is ethnic baiting, i recall i was in a security meeting with DSS officials and they stated that they have field offices in every LGA. it is easy for me to screenshot this post of yours and send to them to have you under watch. To get your details is so easy, again back to your statement on the genesis of Nigeria. the coup was not the genesis, the real problem was already brewing, in fact the Western Region crisis was the genesis if not for it there will be no coup.

DMerciful:
You're looking at the East complaining about the system, you're complaining too but prefer to do nothing to spite the East.

After the second world war, Germany was divided into East Germany and West Germany by the allied forces. When the USSR collapsed in 1991, the re-united back to how they were in 1945. This shows you they had no intention of changing their structure.

When Ironsi was killed after just 45 days of creating a decree, Nigerians did not remove his decree because they love it but complaining 58yrs later. When Ironsi was killed, it was still 4 regions, how he is the one that destroyed the region is the biggest Yoruba lies of the millennium.

Ask them to restructure today, they'll say they can't because Ironsi said nobody should restructure

Jagaban2012:


Slowpoke, so, Tinubu alone has the power to pass into law any confab report....

Oponu....

Why cant GEJ pass the Confab report into law ?

Irony1:


You trying to play clever and you are doing a bad job at it. No igbo guy in this comment threw any insult at you, the insult has been on you guys. Who are the ones with the dog whistling against a tribe it is you guys. Just don't worry those who instigated Rwandan genocide with dog whistling and baiting were executed via firing squad, your time will come.

Idaytesj29:


The international community divided Germany, not the German Chancellor. Ojukwu secceeded, removed the East from Nigeria and named it Biafra. That's treason.
Ours was a civil war, that of Germany was a World war to stop new German imperialism in Europe. So, that does not fit.
Also, it as the same international community that announced he fall of the walls signalling the unification of the country.

You can't absolve Ironsi of his error. It was what set Nigeria s feet on the journey of bad governance and instability that the East complains of the most now. Mind you, it is always everyone else fault except the East.

Yoruba did this, they did that, they lied is lied that.... Even with records and evidences, una go still dispute am. Taking responsibility is a no no. One of the reason leadership is not befitting you cos leaders take responsibility......that is the first step unfortunately to what Igbo are looking for but are too busy running after innocence and to be blameless instead of apologizing for declaring secession which warranted military action that divided the country.

Also, you are not ready for leadership if you still blame or see Hausa, ijaw Yoruba gbagyi Fulani etc as your enemy that needs to be crushed or dragged, but ant them to come together and vote you into power. How on earth do you want expect them to trust you with such power?

You are powerless, you have no regard or respect for another tribe, what's gonna happen when you have absolute power for 8 year? When you have not moved on from the past.

DMerciful:
You're deliberately conflating issues to keep pushing your false narrative. Focus!!!

Ironsi was a military man, not an Igbo leader because nobody elected him.

Before the pogrom of 1966 that eventually led to the Biafra war, there were progroms in the 40s and 50s.

Igbos left Nigeria from 1967 to 1970, Nigeria still maintained Ironsi's alleged unitary structure.

When Gowon took over instead of the Yoruba most senior officer, it was still 4 regions. Awolowo , Oba of Benin encouraged Gowon to divide the country to 12 states to checkmate the Igbos yet they said Ironsi that left 4 regions was the one that destroyed the regions.

Every policy of Nigeria since 1966 has been made to reduce the igbo advantage over others but the igbo advantage is as a result of extreme hard-work. In other words, Nigeria always sacrifice meritocracy and adopts mediocrity. How can Nigeria progress?

If we say lets restructure today, you guys will give excuse then come another 50yrs and blame Ironsi who had not even a single vote to his name.

If you can show me one Igbo man that voted for Ironsi, that made you say we should take responsibility for his action, I'll know you're making sense!

wallrichy:
Hello,

I love your reply write up. Infact one of the best I have read in recent past from someone from the South East without abuse and that's the reason I am replying you. I presume you are from the South East though.

To your 1st question, there's a book entitled No Honour Among Thieves" I am using the heading of that book to simplify my answer to you. Aguiyi Ironsi came up with the decree of centralizing governance and he stays just about 6 months and subsequent regimes came without discarding that decree but followed up till now.

Yes, that's why I said there's no honour Among Thieves cos all these leaders aren't better than the other and whenever they see a channel to siphon money, control and have absolute power to the nation. My brother they wouldn't let go.

Having that decree intact is the only way they can guarantee and solidify their holds on the country and that's why it's still the same way till now.

Its a an avenue for the military to keep on leaching onto the country like they are still doing till now. It's a door of corruption and enslavement that was opened by Aguiyi Ironsi and ever since the subsequent corrupt leaders have ceased to close that door despite the Democracy we are even talking about.

The changes is in the confab done some years ago but yet to be implemented, all because of implemented, the center wouldn't be appealing again and we all would be the controller of our own resources and only contribute little to the center.

Regions would thrive and progress steadily like in the pre independence era.

All region will be a champion and benefactor of their handwork, resource control.

No honour Among Nigerian leaders cos they are all bunch of thieves.....

Ironsi and Ojukwu were part of the Coup that was why Azikiwe was warned to escape but the Coup plotters insisted on waiting for Sardauna to return from Saudi Arabia 2 days earlier before Carrying out the Coup


https://dailytrust.com/amp/british-intelligence-reports-on-how-ironsi-took-over-3
Ojukwu arrested and took a man off the London bound Aeroplane at Kano because he thought he was Prime Minister Balewa's Brother


Azikiwe sent a Telegram to Gen Ironsi from London on the 16th of January addressing Ironsi as the Head of State

Ironsi didn't take over Power until the following day

That meant Azikiwe already knew of the Plan by Ironsi to take Power before it happened

It was the British Commonwealth Office from where Miss Emery who was Azikiwe's Secretary had sent the Telegram that informed Azikiwe that Dipcherma the Northern Minister of Transport was acting in Balewa's Place as Head of the Rump Cabinet and not Gen Ironsi and that it would be a good idea to resend the Telegram to Dipcherma instead


Below is the Video of Azikiwe on the day he left for his Medical Vacation in October 1965 he was well enough to inspect a guard of honour and take the Salute

So why didn't he attended the Commonwealth leaders Conference which held in Lagos 2 days before the Jan 15th 1966 Coup ?

Azikiwe definitely knew what was coming and he knew it was going to be very bloody

Left to Himself Ironsi was not interested in Politics

Sani Bello his Northern ADC even thought Ironsi because of his Gentle nature could have been a great leader but that his Kinsmen badly compromised him

It was NCNC and Azikiwe that pushed him into the Calamity that befell him because of the Jan 1966 Coup which Ironsi was a big part of

dettolgel:


I agree with you that Nigerian politicians are the same, no matter the region they are from. In fact if you pay close attention you will realize that they are mostly from the same gang.

What I find depressing is when we the masses think that this is Igbo vs Yoruba vs Hausa, when in reality it is the masses vs the ruling class (which cuts across different tribes). Every successive government in this country have people from different region (though in varying proportion), yet it is very easy to point fingers.

Ironsi did bring in the decree but we should not absolve him (whatever his reason was) as well as those that chose to implement it and that have actually benefited from it. They are all the same ( All the past military leaders in Nigeria are from the same cloak).

Every states has had representatives and governors and there is no single state that is punching within its weight. None of these states are recalling their representatives or even governors. The governors end up at the center to join their gang leaders that they helped rig into office.

Irony1:


Please do me a favor and show me ironsi's cabinet and the tribes of those in strategic positions. The same Ironsi held a promotion exercise in the army and promoted so many Northerners to placate them on the Jan coup, he didn't even promote igbos or southerners. i dare any of you show me Ironsi's cabinet and the tribes of those in strategic positions. Mind you his Chief of Army staff was Lt Col Gowon a Northerner, His Navy staff was Admiral Wey A yoruba man, his air staff was Lt Col George Kurubo a non-igbo easterner.

Please do me that favor of showing me Ironsi's cabinet and list the strategic positions the igbos occupied. there's another plot in the gist if you read the latest book on Ironsi, the person who suggested the unitary decree to Ironsi was a senior civil servant from the middle belt Chief Simon Adebo
