The two most educated tribe in Nigeria (igbos and Yorubas) keep fighting themselves while the far less educated ones (hausa fulani) rule over them

The greatest fear of the fulanis is a united igbo-yoruba cos that will librate the hausas from their bondage

Now it is obvious we are brothers
( but that won't stop me from abusing them)

Hausa/Fulani are only ruling because they managed to get Yorubas to do their bidding.

Very nice one!

Yorubas have a thing for Igbos. They can't let the Igbos go but they can't let them stay either.

Mmadu k'ana ya.

Buhari made A1 in Igbo language?? How? Please don't make me laugh.


The Lawyer who took Buhari to Court said in his complaint that Buhari never sat for WASC. The Lawyer, said that Buhari was accepted into the Army based on a recommendation from his principal but that Buhari began his military training but could not return to take his WASC.

lecther:
why are you blaming Yorubas for a viable economy growth plan that shows how hardworking your people are.

The only person I blame is the cursed LUGARD who put us Igbo in one country with Yorubas and Hausas.

Chei! Okorohausa again? Anything to please his Northern kingsmen

Why do the Lagos/Ibadan expressway media keep calling it 'baby factories'? Most of these are just homes that girls who fall pregnant and rejected by their families as a disgrace run to for help. These media houses make it look like the girls go there to get pregnant and have babies.

Ngozi Okonjo -Iweala. True Igbo woman and Biafran. Many people may not know Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was a cook for the Biafran Soldiers during the War. Her father was Brigadier Okonjo of the Biafran Army.

HurtgenForest:
Exactly my brother, for instance Igbos will take back our lands of Obigbo & Egbema carved into Rivers state in 1976. These were part of old Imo state.

Of course. There are many Igbos that have fraudulently put in other so called geopolitical zones. Igbos of the lower Benue, the Umu-ezeokaha people in the NC, Anioma, Obigbo and others in the SS. The must all be returned to where they belong, therefore, before the creation of any region, all Igbo elements must given the opportunity to vote to join their Igbo brothers in their region. Nigeria has divided the Igbo nation for far too long

HurtgenForest:
There is a loud call from different parts of the country for true federalism while others have called for regionalism.

I support regionalism where we will have six regions in Nigeria and each region would be free to make their own laws, create as many states as they want, control their resources and develop at their own pace. A certain percentage will be paid monthly to the FG which will then be not too attractive.

Under this system, there will be less tribal bitternes because for every election, all the candidates will be from among the indigenous people so whoever wins would be accepted by all. There will be no need for MASSOB/IPOB, MEND, NDA, boko haram, OPC/Agbekoya, fulani herdsmen, etc.

While I support the call for regionalism, I support a regional system whereby the present FCT(Abuja) and all other former capitals i.e Lagos & Calabar would be under the control of the FG.

This way, everyone will be happy and Nigeria will move forward.

Shalom.

I support regionalism too, even six region as the case maybe. But where there will be a big problem is if anyone expects that the six regions will be this so called SW/SE/SS etc.

Ironsi was killed in July 1966 but it took the Aburi meeting for the Government to make a formal announcement that Ironsi had died and released his body to be buried. The Government has always tried to cover the events leading up the was because they knew that if the younger generation analysed the events from the Aburi meeting to the declaration of Biafra, they would see that the problem was not Ojukwu but the power greedy North. Good thing that Ojukwu insisted that the meeting should be recorded.

hagm0nd1:
another useless post by the low self esteemed tribe.
let me remind you yeebos that your useless zik preferred to ally with the north to form one Nigeria,when the hausas,and Yorubas made it clear they want no part if Nigeria, he even refused a secession clause,thinking with the hausas he would lord over Yorubas but his undoing was the first coup,the hausas quicked suyanize the useless yeebos in millions.
so we are telling you move in drove to the useless alayeebo,we've been flogging in akure yet you still prostrated to beg.
fulanis well keep using you as shooting practice because of your leaders greed.
Soyinka and solarin even protested for your useless biafla ,so tell me how Yorubas are scared of you leaving to your villages.

Cone head half-wit! The same Awolowo you are talking about came to Enugu and said that if the Igbo nation leaves Nigeria, the Yoruba nation will leave too. When the time for action came, he accepted Government position and fought for one Nigeria. The same Hausa/Fulani came to Ibadan in Yoruba land and killed the Military Governor, Lt Colonel Fajuyi, a Yoruba man. You people did nothing. When Ironsi was killed, the next highest ranking officer, Brigadier Ogundipe, a Yoruba man should have taken over. The same Hausa/Fulani came Lagos, Yorubaland, chased away Ogundipe to London and installed a much junior Gowon. The Yorubas did nothing. To make matters worse, when Ojukwu decided that enough was enough and rose up to stand against the Northerners, you Yorubas called him a fool and a coward because he did not adopt the slave mentality you guys have for the Northeners. You people allowed the Northerners to hold you hostage in your own land. And after many years of the Northerners messing you guys and the rest of Nigeria about in Lagos, they finally transferred the capita to their lands. You guys are really something.

kaairoz:
Killing of unarmed citizens is a genocide,



Commander Issah M. Abdullahi (colonel)
Have committed a genocide for telling his
soldiers to killing unarmed individual, with major
C. O Ibrahim and others carried out the act.






I remembered some months ago in Eungu state.
when fulani herdsmen attack the people of
Ukpabi Nimbo, the commander there was
waiting for an order from the commander in
chief of the armed forces,




So whose order did the colonel Issah M.
Abdullahi, followed in this pro-biafra protesters,


Why is it that some individual in some key
position don't used their acumen very well.



God bless Nigeria

How can God bless a country where it's own armed forces are killing its own people unnecessarily?

I'm actually surprised that EFCC has the power to obtain a detention order and hold someone for over a month without charge.

It is inevitable that Igbos will one day reclaim their freedom and sovereinghty stolen by the British opportunist called Lord Frederick Lugard in 1914 when he was setting up his money making venture called "Nigeria". When that day comes when we are free, I'm going to personally enjoy reading the Newspapers to see how the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy are dealing with the Yorubas.

irunooboo:
Blame the 3 million on ojukwu who told his people to carry sticks to a gun battle

Blame Gowon who thought came down to the East to fight

Chynx:
Crap!

Complete crap! People who say that Igbos are everywhere don't seem to remember that Nigeria is just one country out hundreds in the world. If there is any reason why Igbos should return to their lands anywhere in Nigeria, then they will. The world is a big place and Nigeria is just a small dot on the world map.

If Nigeria is to be restructured, it must be on regional lines. All the states must be dissolved and a referendum held to seek which of the ethnic nationalities, who are actually the real federating units, would like to come together as a region.

Uduak2019:
I have said this a dozen times...there is no commercial quantity of oil in Lagos or Ondo. All these claims is to make ND think that them SW have oil too so that One Nigeria will continue. If SW really has oil, I promise you...they will championing for separation because they are very greedy people...they don't like to share. Now, to test if SW has oil as they claim, let federal government stop all oil exploration, drilling and production in SS and SE and let SW oil feed the nation for only one month...just one month. Nigerians will be shocked to find out that the oil will not be up to a barrel.

I don't really care who has Oil and who hasn't or in what quantity. What I maintain is that it is the God given right of the indigenous people of the land such as my fellow Igbos to decide if they want to continue being part of the colonial entity called Nigeria or not.

But beyond all these, I’m yet to make sense of your current agitation of not wanting to be part of Nigeria

Wait let me go and ask the husband of the Igbo woman beheaded in Kano

americanigga:
From the map I can't see any two rivers. In fact Abia is completely blocked by Akwa Ibom

The reason you can't see it is because the Map you are using does not show the Nigerian waterways adequately.

Below is a map that shows it better. As you see, the Azumini River runs through almost all of the southern side of Abia state and opens up at the southern tip of Abia from where it flows into the Athlantic Ocean. There has been talk about building a Seaport there for years. Google Obuaku Seaport.

I want to remind the Igbo nation that not all Ikweres say they are not Igbo. An example is Elele people in Ikwere local Govt who actually 'flaunt' their 'Igboness' and are proud of it. So it is not all Ikweres who have that 'I'm not Igbo' mentality. So it is very important to identify the Ikwerre clans who identify with being and forget the rest.

Nnamdi Kanu, the freedom fighter. We shall all see that freedom in the land of the rising sun. We shall get there in the name of Chukwu Okike because the colonial slavery called 'one Nigeria' cannot be the portion of Igbos.

Clentuzbaba:
Remember d same name & country has recorded great achievements .

Would that include the 3 Million that were killed because of "we must be one Nigeria at all cost"?

It takes a lot of guts for an Igbo person to convert to Islam. If that person does it outside Igbo land, they might get away with it. But to do it and live in Igboland can be a nightmare. They are most likely going to be forsaken by friends and family. They will be ostracised. So when an Igbo converts to Islam, they had better know what they signing up for because the price to pay in Igboland can be huge.

blackmatter007:
Watch the yorubas avoid this thread after ranting that the NA are right in killing the igbos.

SMH.

Of course. All the care about is their precious 'one Nigeria' where oil is flowing and protecting their muderous APC Government that's has killed thousands of unarmed civilians in just one year.

gunuvi:
Very intelligent sets of young officers. It has completely changed some of my perceptions about ojukwu. He is not a valian and he quite understand what he wants and he was very bold to spell it out. Such documents ought to be at public domain and easily accessible to Nigerians. Thanks op for this. I'll print it out and reread it.

Anyone who knows the true story of Aburi would never say that Ojukwu caused any war. It is just unfortunate that the Lagos/Ibadan expressway media, in a desperate bid to please their Northern masters concocted one lie after the other against Ojukwu. There he was trying to profer solutions. Everyone agreed with him that the centralisation through decree 34 was bad but he was quick to remind everyone in the room that they were all there when Ironsi was enacting decree 34. The iconic statement made to Gowon which would prove prophetic was

[b] I said also that any break at this time from our normal line would write in something into the Nigerian Army which is bigger than all of us and that thing is indiscipline. How can you ride above people's heads and sit in Lagos purely because you are at the Head of a group who have their fingers poised on the trigger? If you do it you remain forever a living example of that indiscipline which we want to get rid of because tomorrow a Corporal will think because he has his finger on the trigger he could just take over the company from the Major Commanding the company and so on. I knew then that we were heading for something terrible. Despite that and by force of circumstance as we did talk on the telephone, I think twice, you brought up the question of supreme command and I made quite plain my objections, but despite those objections you announced yourself as the Supreme Commander. Now, Supreme Commander by virtue of the fact that you head or that you are acceptable to people who had mutinied against their Commander, kidnapped him and taken him away ? By virtue of the support of Officers and men who had in the dead of night murdered their brother Officers, by virtue of the fact that you stood at the head of a group who had turned their brother Officers from the Eastern Region out of the barracks which they shared ? [/b]

Nigeria died at Aburi. In the biggest act cowardice by the Yorubas, they allowed the Northerners to chase away Brigadier Ogundipe, 'demote' Colonel Adebayor to bring in Gowon. Ogundipe and Adebayor were the two most senior officers after Ironsi.All of this in Yorubaland! It still beggers my imagination that the Yorubas allowed the Northerners to use them this way and they were still dancing 'one Nigeria'.

Okoroawusa had better pray that Biafra is never actualised because the day we get Biafra, he will leave Igboland never to return.

Rogers Nicholas? That doesn't sound Igbo to me

On Aburi we stand!

On January 4th 1967, the young charismatic Military Governor of the Eastern region, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu flew from Enugu to Aburi, Ghana to have a meeting with Gowon. In that meeting, it was agreed that the four regions in Nigeria would operate as a confederation. Gowon and Ojukwu signed this agreement in front of the president of Ghana, the late General Ankrah. In return, Ojukwu pledged to work for the unity of Nigeria and to recognise Gowon as head of state. When Gowon returned to Nigeria, the Northerners who were greedy for power reproached Gowon for giving away so much power to the regions and urged him to make Nigeria a unitary state. 4 Months later, on the 27th of May, Gowon in clear violation of the agreement he signed in Ghana, announced the abolishment of the regions, the creation of 12 new States, the removal of resouce control and fiscal responsibility and the introduction of full blown unitary rule. Ojukwu in response declared Biafra and war followed. Igbos want a confederation. The center is too powerful and this is not good. The states must be dissolved, the Igbos and the minorities who are confortable with Igbos must be given their region,the office of executive president must be abolished and in its place, a ceremonial president who will be commander in chief and a priminister who will be head of Government will be created. The senate must be dissolved too. Resource control of at least 67% must re-introduced just as it was before the war. With this, no one will be able to cheat the other and nobody can marginalise anyone. The regions must also be given the power to secede from Nigeria via a referendum if they so wish. I also want to add that when all of this is done, us Igbos are most likely going to secede from Nigeria within 5 years of the confederation.
