All what I can see from the first page is of hatred to the northerners from the so called educated and exposed southerners. You are not educated then, if this is how you think

Joromi1:
Imagine if this story is true, will I be wrong to say karma is just doing her job in the southeast today?

They know the truth but always shy away from it. It is the victim mentality whereby it is their handwork that put them in this situation

This is about our history, it's not about tribalism. You are free to provide alternative facts but no insults, please.

IGBO POLITICAL LEADERS AND THEIR PAST MISADVENTURES RESULTING IN CURRENT NATIONAL POLITICAL PROBLEMS

Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;

Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
The University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!

Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!

Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.

Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!

We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.

"What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"

Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central govt because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then. Today, he is shouting restructuring that he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”

WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF THEIR WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY:

The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausafulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to a play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation.

The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the average Igbo man is fond of narrating.

However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.

Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300.

This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.

To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".

Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.

But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.

After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future.

According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution.

While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe

Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too.

Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.

For those in doubt, here is a link of one of the numerous instances in which Nnamdi Azikiwe fought against the secession clause proposal for the future Nigeria constitution.

https://www.thenewsnigeria.com.ng/…/my-opposition-to-seces…/

It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.

Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university graduate is the Binis).

As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are some quotes:
"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Nnamdi Azikiwe (1945).

"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma. (1949)

As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the Southern Protectorate. Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in Nigeria.

With that situation the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand in any democratic bargain.

But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these areas should fall in the future Eastern Region. But against common sense, the colonial masters decided to gerrymander them into the Northern Region. While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by landmass.

While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo for his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist. A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy chasing rats in a far away land.

When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that frustrated the attempts. Here is how:
In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address.

But when the D-day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard.

Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government. However, the British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for treasonable felony.

Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance.

On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.

Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint".

After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC, and moved over to Awolowo's Action Group.

The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo army officers. That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years.

Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day.

In addition to the killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every region except their Eastern Region.

In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heros.

This was actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. On the 23rd of February 1966 (i.e. a month and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup, an Ijaw born Army officer called Isaac Adaka Boro who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, declared the secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people from the monumental marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region. But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to the military high command under him in Lagos.

Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria.

Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal.

Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his previous rank.

Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria and without consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic for which he fought against him and killed his soldiers.

Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession declaration 15 months earlier.

Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of Biafra.

But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But from the facts as above, who really betrayed the other in all honesty? Be the judge.

Why Gowon fought against Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra was as follows:
After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging. Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession, he was reminded of the Anti-secession Decree made by him and his brother Ironsi.

Deadly Truth: Igbos frequently reference Aburi Accord to create the impression that the rest Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.

First and foremost Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle. Secondly, those civil servants and military men in attendance were not elected by their federal constituencies to the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy the only universally acceptable way of making laws is through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi the peoples' representatives duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process.

Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the people? Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. Aburi Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have been allowed to stand.

Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the Independence constitutional conference. Those representatives all resolved and agreed on federalism marked by regional autonomy and resource control in the Independence Constitution which they brought back home and everyone accepted it.

In that constitution, Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power. It was also clearly stated in it that ammendments to it could be done by only democratically elected representatives.

That constitution was the first ever agreement between all Nigerians.
On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence constitution regardless of the circumstances that may later arise. But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees, and ended up dismantling the federalism and resource control therein, and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft.

That was the height of Irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement.

That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements.

So Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence constitution agreement.

Obasanjo removed history from the school curriculum hence the reason why many of what we know of the eventualities in Biafra war were altered to suite their narratives.

Let those who have ears hear.

Author:Unknown, but shared by Anascopeterson.

This is the real chronicle of our present day Nigeria for our youths to know how it all started, how the Federalism that existed before was destroyed, which we are now looking for, again, through restructuring, and so on, ���

Youths need to know how it all started.

May God help Nigeria��

u guys should be done with this lie naaa. Nothing like hausa in Kwara state. The tribes in Kwara are Majority Yorubas then Nupe and then barubas. Yes, the origin of the emir of ilorin can be fulani but they have been yorubanized.

She is not actually dark skin, she is fair in complexion, but right now, she has bleach up. I have know her since when she was doing diploma b4 she got admission for degree. And yes, it is BUK, she has been living on the fast lane since during school time so I am not surprise with her entanglement with FFK

Hausaboy239:
You can’t hate on this man he knows how to pick better thing!

But Anty kemi should get her facts right.
Halima(Leemah) isn’t a fulani,she’s a yoruba!
Her family stays in Paiko, Niger state.

See as she don clean up you go think say na one rich man pikin,omo her mama dy even sell food iswear to God sha if e go happen am happy for her o

She is not actually Yoruba or Fulani but from Niger state, I think Nupe or Niger state hausa people. We schooled together in the north (name of the university withheld). We all roll together then.

Laycon is creative yet he lost Pepsi challenge to ozo and tricky, someone who is suppose to be into music, has not won any single task nor HOH game, most ladies perform better than him. Even in group task he one, he played no major role. Right now now ozo is writing their wager task for "Mr creative"

I know this is a game but anybody who hates on ozo must be damn wicked, for real.

If u actually want h the show, you will know that Laycon lost the Pepsi task cos of its partner who was wathoni, wathoni did nothing in that task, just dancing sheepishly, Laycon tried his best. And for ozo and TT, TT did much more than ozo, he was even their choreographer and played much more input in their winning. I actually like ozo leadership and winning HOH is never about intelligence but luck, it is 99% game of luck, so put that out. In the house so far, Laycon and Nengi has gotten more money from winning task than anybody else. In their poem, he was even the one either writing it for them or making corrections.
A lot of people feel in love with him cos of his intelligence and smartness, even in the house nobody can argue that. Even in the outburst of Erica that lead to her disqualification, she still say it.

Take this rubbish list away. What is Kano doing there? A barbaric state for that matter! Where is Onitsha? Where is Calabar? U drink soap true true

Have you ever been to Kano before you debunk that assertion? FYI, Kano is far more cosmopolitan than Anambra or calabar state. The different is even clear

This is nice and I am impressed. Even though, the factory ain't automated but I believe they will get there with time.
Please, you guys should stop with all these tribalistics rant. Rejoice with others so that others will rejoice with you.
And for those claiming superiority and looking down on others, you should know that no man is an island of knowledge in its own, and u need others to grow.

That's not why expatriate left, I think it had to do with local content.
More Nigeria engineers doing the job than wasting money on expatriate. Same thing for warri.

Insecurity also contributed alot in them leaving en masse. Even some headquarters were shifted away from SS to Lagos cos of that kidnapping issue. That kidnapping issue seriously affected SS.

ahiboilandgas:
why are there no persons from the North only a political appointee of a loss making company called NNpc ...Northerner should Endeavour to participate in the private sector lead Nigeria at all level and not only aspire for Govt jobs/appointments,quota systems,nepotism....

I have observed that few weeks ago when I was watching a program on NTA about oil industries in Nigeria. Most of the private companies involved in the oil industries in Nigeria are either own by Yoruba, Igbo or SS people. More than 10 companies were interviewed and I couldn't see anyone own by a northerner. But na them go plenty and even head it's when it come to government agencies on oil e.g NNPC, DPR, PPPRA, NLNG and more.
The same thing in Ports industry, na them dey head NPA when they don't even have sea talk less of ocean in their region. I don't even think there is any shipping company own by a northerner but them plenty for port authority.
And since 1999, no southerner has ever head ministry of agriculture, na them cos it is like they believe it is their birth right, same thing with fct ministry.

Gracealone:
He remembered to remove Hausa Speaking people of Borgu/Kainji from Kwara and joined them with Niger while leaving entirely-different Christian southern Kaduna people to join them with Plateau State. GMB is just building on the foundation of IBB with his nepotism.

Borgu and Kainji were never hausa speaking people. They have their own language. Even the Niger state itself is not a hausa speaking state, the main language there is Nupe and then some few minorities in which hausas are among.

So people cant bleep in peace again,

all dis Useless Muslim countries wit der Nonsensical rules,
De last tin i go do in dis life is 2 go 2 a Muslim dominated nation

And u will still rush to UAE, Turkey, Qatar, Malaysia, Brunei, etc when u get the chance. Hypocrite.

perdollar:
dont u know that were Muslims r minority, dey play d victim and d good ppl and when dey become substantial minority they become an immediate threat not to talk of when it's 50/50 or they r in d majority. I wl rather have security wt all d prostitution, cultism, kidnapping, ritual, robbery going on ONLY in SE than b an IDP in my country wt no hope of going back bc of some Quran brain washed idiots r helping allah achieve is aim

And ilks like u still rush to Muslim majority countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Qatar, Oman, etc to earn a living, do business or even find job and even find it more prosperous and peaceful than anywhere from your South East.
Stop being a bigot.

NgwalandAbia:


Igbo muslim don't exist anywhere in Igboland..all are FAKE.

LOL, sorry ooo. But there are Igbo Muslims very much in South East especially in Imo and Ebonyi state. They even have an Islamic kind of higher institution in Afikpo. Whether you like it or not, there are Igbo Muslims.

Evercurious:


Is there any tolerance in this nigeria? Abeg leave biafra to handle their issues how they want it. Face your bloodied nigeria and wail for it for the bloodshed .okay? After all who wants a blood suckling religion within his /her domain

Meaning you wouldn't be tolerance to ur brothers cos they practice another religion Wow, what a wawu, u guys hypocritical plan is now coming into open. U are no different from those ones u accuse of withholding Biafra from existing.

perdollar:
Aboki, I can't av suicide bombers and terrorist in my territory

Has the Igbo Muslims ever cause any havoc in ur region? If u qualify them with wrong notation, it is safe to say that the Christianity should be abolished too in South East cos the Igbo Christians are the ritualists, armed robbers, kidnappers, advocate of prostitution and cultism in the south east region.
Two can play the game

WelcomeToBiafra:


He was inec commissioner, so he was one of the corrupt Nigerian politicians in electoral decisions making. See how he changed his name to that of Islam to sabotaging original indigenous people of the land.

Does him being a Muslim Igbo make him any less than an Igbo man? Is this how u intend to obtain or govern ur Biafra? A country with no tolerance of other religions?

perdollar:
all those saboteurs of Igbo origin wl die mysteriously untill they return to d religion of our region. with ds idiots in my region I can't guarantee a peaceful future for my generations on born. they r better dead than turn igboland into SW, North, middle East, NA.

You are such a hypocritical bigot. What is the religion of your region? Christianity Christianity was also bought into South East by the missionaries. U need to be tolerant and let peace be.

Rawhumper:
Sometimes i am not sympathetic with the middlebelt,they were the main force in the nigerian army that fought the biafran wars.

But after the war,the Hausa/Fulanis aystematically purged their officers after the overthrow pf Gowon,that was why Dimka struck and killed Murtala,the likea of Bisalla,etc.

I laugh when presently i hear middlebelt say they are no longer Northerners unlike in the past they claimed to be North.

Its so sad that they realized they were used late.

The Yorubas crave for their own State if the Igbos have their Biafra cos they know no tribe except the igbos can withstand the onslaught of the North,though marginalised and divided,the igbos still stand formidable.

Imagine what will happen if the whole Igbos rally together,this is the fear of the North.
I bet you nobody can stand them.

Please let us stand united against injustice and marginalised.

All tribes should put aside their doubts and hatred against the Igbos,and stand behind the tribe because the bitter truth is that the survival of other tribes rests with the Igbos.

So becareful when u work against the igbos cos u we need eachother.









quote author=EsomahJD post=92252241]Today in History. 45 years ago, on 29 July 1975: Gen. Yakubu Gowon, President of Nigeria, was in Kampala attending the OAU meeting when he heard--via one of his aides--that he had been ousted from office in a military coup.

Did u see how u overhyped the igbos and downgrade other tribes, and u still want the other tribes to rally behind you and support you? Who does that? It is this ur overbearing attitudes and self proclaimed superpower that will be ur waterloo. How can u abuse other tribes and then want them to support u? U guys lack diplomacy at all.
