Personally I think he is unnecessarily rocking the boat. We are in perilous times and we need all our strong men to help build our homeland. This fighting can be addressed at home and he can negotiate some kind of understanding with the governor. All the adversarial posturing takes us nowhere and at the end of the day, alaigbo pays the price.

Posterity will be kind to him if he plays the role of statesman, gives even a portion of Abia a much needed facelift and so on. He can reach an understanding for a lucrative contract which pays him well and also translates into substantial development for ndi Abia. He can negotiate a House of Reps or Senate seat then even become governor afterwards, after all they are of d same party. At least of he concedes at this level and really has d people at heart, I am certain Ikpeazu will appreciate his goodwill cos it'll be an obvious sacrifice and both of them can save the extra costs of proceeding to the Supreme Court.

This madness smacks of sabotage and we have had enough of it in Igbo land. It's time to rally together for our own good. A bum nwa Anambra mana ihe gbasara alaigbo nile n'amasi m nke ukwu.

What does he want to challenge na? The rape of democracy or d turning summersault of democracy on its head? Abi d defective originating process not even properly signed? Uche Ogah should just save his money and get involved with d Abia state government, probably fund out what prominent role he can play to better the lot of his people. It will be to his credit and that of his party unless he has decamped quietly, he must not be governor to be relevant.

CONFAMA:
Shut up. Victor Banjo a yoruba fought for biafra. Is that to say it was a Yoruba War?

StOla:
So there you have it, 1957. He was the very 1st graduate to enroll in the Nigerian Army. Ojukwu enrolled in 1958.

Nzeogwu and the others you mentioned were never mates of Olutoye.

So who is truly ignorant now?

T8ksy:
But there was an ethnic agenda by the ibos to dominate the rest of us even long before we got our independence from the Brits. In fact, ibos love of One Nigeria at that period in time definitely wasn't for the love they harbour for their fellow countrymen but rather for their covetous nature and greed.

Decree 34 make it possible for the ibos to proceed to the north and fill all the available civil posts in the region on account of the indigenes low educational status. Ironsi was warned against such promulgation but he was egged on by the ibo advisers, he surrounded himself with.

Demmocrats:
Whether Youraba, Hausa or Igbo we are all one. When we start seeing our selves as one and forget about the hate which our fathers and grand fathers created among themselves because of different tribe we will move forward. Biafra, Southwest and Fulani-Hausa slave mentality was creatd by our fathers which has destroyed us, why should we inherent sins of the father and causing so much division.

#One Nigeria.

StOla:
The 1st coup was known as the coup of the 5 Majors, but in reality, it was the coup of the 7 Majors and 1 Captain.

Of the above 8 principal Characters, only 1 was Yoruba (Major Ademoyega), while the rest were all Igbos.

That some foot soldiers were Yoruba and Northerners is irrelevant to who masterminded the coup, and who ensured top Eastern politicians and officers were left untouched except the Quartermaster General, Col. Unegbu.

StOla:
Killed for no reason?

For what reason was Brig. Ademulegun and Maimalari killed?

For what reason was Col. Ralph Sodeinde and Mohammed Kur killed?

For what reason was Lt Col. Yakubu Pam and Abogo Largema killed?

Olutoye was enlisted as the very 1st university graduate officer of the Nigerian Army in 1956. He was never commissioned with a junior like Nzeogwu or Obasanjo.

madenigga:
Ok chinakwe is igbo but Rotimi Amaechi is Niger deltan ryt?

madenigga:
Shutup he is not an igbo man...

BABANGBALI:
"GOD HELP AND BLESS NIGERIA"

rhymaster:
And what happened to Maimalari, Balewa, Ademulegun, Shodeinde, Ahmadu Bello, etc (13 in all) killed in the Ibo coup? When you kill others, you rationalize and justify it, when they revenge you cry victim!?? SMH for these people!

Bluetooth2:
Common sense

A Niger delta man abandoned Jonathan yet decides to name his dog a northern name while an ibo lady neglected Ojuku and name her cat after a yoruba .

Other times you dont need the constitution to tell you what is wrong or right.

1.Kaduna Nzeogwu: Led the first bloody coup in Nigeria, widely referred to as the founding father of disunity, hatred and tribalism. He murdered Ahmadu Bello in his residence and later on boasted about it in a video clip, his action led to the death of millions of his people,
Kaduna is the worst nigerian in the history of Nigeria.

AntiIPOOP:
History!

cheruv:
For the Igbos who still believe in one Nigeria, I hope its now clear that even a foreigner has more rights than them in this sham of a country called one Nigeria. You can imagine after all the humiliation,they mocked him by telling him to forget it all that we're "one Nigeria"

Moreover what has the poor dog done to be murdered so brutally by northerners Doesn't it have the right to bear the name its loving master gave to it ?

Nigeria needs to be flipped upside down!!

misterawo:
In addition to the above, Murtala Mohammed supervised the execution of 300 worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church, Onitsha

meccuno:
I keep wondering why at every post that relates to the Northerners written probably by someone from the SE, a yoruba person or people are usually the ones who defend them tooth and nail even if it is detrimental to their well being. I notice these things in all post. I think I need to do more research on this behavioural tendency. Whenever a story is written about the north, u see northerners defend them selves but have more yorubas defending. More. I see this very well on nairaland and facebook. I wonder why that's so. Just them. They never see anything wrong with the hausas

EpicMaurice:
olamide is yoruba and phyno is igbo.
My girlfriend is yoruba and am igbo
so what else are you talking about
