How would you know Ifeajuna was not telling the truth? Were you in his mind? Were you even born then? Or do you have a mind reader and a time machine?

igbodefender:
Did Ifeajuna confide this to you? Were you born then? Are you a.mind reader, or have you invented a time machine that also reads people's minds?

Nzeogwu coup was meant to install Awolowo as Prime Minister of Nigeria – Dr Ezeife

A former governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife has disclosed that the failed Major Nzeogwu-led coup of 1966 was never an Igbo coup, stressing that it was meant to install Chief Obafemi Awolowo as the Prime Minister of Nigeria.

He made this known at the second day of the Igbo-Israeli Economic Summit titled South East Youth Economic Summit 2016 (SEYES 2016) which ended in Enugu yesterday.


Ezeife asserted that “it is not true that Igbos plotted the 1966 coup. The coup was planned by some elements within the military disenchanted with the drift of Nigeria who felt that Awolowo was in the best position to move Nigeria forward. The problem was that the execution of the coup got awry at some axis and everybody now claimed it was Igbo coup.”

Kini difference? Ifeajuna, was he not one of the coup plotters?

Bottonline is that the coup was not an Igbo coup as widely postulated by anti-igboists, but rather a coup to put Awolowo in power.

We are saying the same thing in a different way bro, they were tired of the level of nepotism and corruption in the country but they saw awolowo as a better option( someone who represent their ideal Nigeria).

igbodefender:
The coup plotters themselves confessed to it. They should have retired from the military and joined party politics instead of trying to release Awolowo their hero from prison and then put him in Balewa's seat undemocraticaly.

Recall that Awolowo had been earlier prosecuted for coup plotting in 1962.

I am not stuck in Nigeria. The story sucks.

FBIL:
With all these places mentioned, it means the entire Lagos is not safe. But what's my business with such a place when I'd fly from New York to Enugu, send my cargoes to Onne, Port Harcourt, and driven home without chaos.

Corruption has been in the force...so why bite the hands that fees you? I believe they have all come to know each other and give them free hand

Sucks

CodeTemplar:
What are the things a religion should do in man's life to show that man has found the right religion?

Should it be effortless wealth, health, or brilliance like in the garden of eden in the Holy Bible, or fame, good job, love, charity, generousity or to grow old and have seeds ?

There should be something that we assume a true religion must address in a man's life to prove the authenticity of that religion.

I will like to hear from every single Nairalander.

The painful part of this coup is that it was termed an igbo coup and led to the massacre of many igbos living in the north, but the truth is that the plotters of the coup wanted to hand over power to a Yoruba man (Awolowo). The Yoruba's really betrayed the ibos by fighting against them with the hausa/fulani.

And after googling, are you NOW able to produce the election results which shows conclusively that Zik and the NCNC won (or were about to win) the 1951 regional election in yorubaland which therefore necessitated the so-called "carpet-crossing"? or..........................

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. — After more than 20 years in the United States, a Wisconsin man was deported to west Africa earlier this week, a federal agency confirmed.

Buba Jabbi, 41, of Wisconsin Rapids was deported Tuesday and back in Gambia by Wednesday afternoon, according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement statement issued Wednesday.


Buba Jabbi, 41, of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., was deported March 6, 2018. He had been detained Feb. 15 as he made his annual check-in with U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement in Milwaukee.

Jabbi had entered the U.S. in 1995 and overstayed his visa. He was detained Feb. 15 after checking in with federal authorities as he had been directed and was set for deportation based on a judge's order from 2010.

A stay of removal had been filed on his behalf but was denied Feb. 27, according to Nicole Alberico, a public affairs officer with ICE.


Jabbi, the father of two daughters ages 5 and 1, was being held at a detention center in Sierra Blanca, Texas.

If necessary, Jabbi's wife, Katrina Jabbi, a native of Wisconsin Rapids, said she would move her family almost 5,000 miles to Gambia, a nation of about 2 million people that is almost twice the size of Delaware, to be with her husband.

"We have spent many years trying to rectify this situation," Katrina Jabbi previously said. "I will continue to fight and file waivers if he is deported. I will not be apart from my husband nor allow my children to grow up without their father."

“I will not be apart from my husband nor allow my children to grow up without their father.”

Katrina Jabbi married Buba Jabbi in 2013, four years after meeting him. The couple has two daughters, Nalia, 5, and Aisha, 1, and they are expecting a third child in October.

Katrina Jabbi said she works part time from home and moved back to Wisconsin Rapids, about 135 miles northwest of Milwaukee, to be closer to her family. Her husband had been working as a truck driver.

Buba Jabbi has not been charged with a crime in Wisconsin and his detention was not the result of a criminal arrest.

He came to the United States in 1995 on a temporary travel visa to attend the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, according to Katrina Jabbi. When he tried to change his status to allow him to stay in the U.S., the paperwork he filed was incorrect and his case was moved into removal proceedings, where he remained for several years.

However, Buba Jabbi was considered "undeportable" because his country would not provide travel documents on his behalf, she said. Instead, he was given orders of supervision, requiring him to report to immigration once a year and obtain work authorization, which he had done for the past 10 years.
Buba Jabbi was at his annual appointment Feb. 15 in Milwaukee with immigration officials when he was detained and told he would be deported, his wife said. The statement from ICE said his travel documents from Gambia had been validated.

Buba Jabbi still has family in Gambia. Despite being separated from him, Katrina Jabbi said she is happy her husband will be able to see his parents for the first time in more than two decades.
