so vigilance group is now the police.

the igbos are despised every where.

so its not our fault. its their fault .


remember they have chased out of many areas.

Chidi4u: For those of us who have been
falsely claiming that the 1966
first military coup was led by
Igbos to exterminate non Igbo
leaders in order take over the
country and branded it as an "Igbo coup" should go back to
history and facts to help
themselves out. This was the
reason they claimed the whole
country rallied against Igbos to
wipe them out in a genocide. This is a malicious and cheap
propaganda contrived to make
their claims stick. But the more
you try to bury facts and truth,
themore the inconsistences of
your hypocrisy and lies continues to surface. You
cannever murder history. It's
not possible!
The truth is that, those who led
the military putsh were
motivated by the injustices, prejudice, nepotism and the
lopesided nature of federal and
military appointments the
behemoths in power then were
doing to subjugate and
dominate others by force, arrogantly promote one section
over another. It was never an
Igbo affair as is being peddled
to find relevance. Now take a look at the list of
the '66 coup plotters and render
your own judgement; 1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna
Nzeogwu(Delta Igbo)
2. Major Adewale Ademoyega
(Yoruba) author of "Why we
struck"
3. Capt. G. Adeleke(Yoruba) 4. Maj. Ifeajuna(Igbo)
5. Lt. Fola Oyewole(Yoruba)
author of "The reluctant rebel"
6. Lt. R. Egbiko(Esean)
7. Lt. Tijani Katsina(Hausa/
Fulani) 8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan(Yoruba)
9. Capt. Gibson Jalo(Bali)
10. Capt. Swanton(Middle Belt)
11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha
(Urhobo)
12. Lt. Dag Warribor(Ijaw) 13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo(Hausa)
14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera
(Tiv). So, to an unbiased observer,
what evidence can one provide
to show that Igbos actually
carried out the coup in order to
exterminate other tribes and
take over the country? It is very easy to sell falshood, but it is
very difficult to provide facts to
buttress your claims. It is now clear even to a
suckling, that the imperialist
genocidists crammed up this
murderous lies against the
Igbos to find reasons to
perpetually keep them under hate.
One even wonders why the
nigerian state and perpetrators
of the gruesome genocide have
been preventing the proper
documentation of that episode for the benefits of her posterity.
Terrible!!

first of all this is a rubbish list.

most of the officers who planned the coup were igbo.

thought so.

Sir Samuel Lewis, the third Sierra Leonean to qualify as a barrister, was the most famous of the early Krio lawyers.
To many young men of the day, it became obvious that a sound education and training in one of the respected professions — law, medicine and the clergy — was indispensable for leadership positions among their people, or for a career in the Colonial Government.
On the completion of his education however, Lewis, a man of firm conviction and one who valued his independence, declined to serve in government office so his hands would not be tied. He worked incessantly for his clients and devoted most of his energies to their defence. He was a very successful lawyer, winning most of his cases, but he still found time to criticise the Colonial Government over policies with which he disagreed. One such disagreement erupted into a violent dispute with Governor Cardew soon after the latter became Governor.
In spite of his reluctance to serve in the Colonial Government, the yearning to serve his people led him to accept membership in the Legislative Council in 1882. Sir Samuel Lewis served his people well and honourably, and when Freetown because a municipality in 1865, he was the obvious choice for Mayor. In 1896, he was made a knight, the first West African to achieve such an honour.
Like most pioneers, Sir Samuel’s ideas were far in advance of his times. At a time when most settlers saw people of the hinterland as heathen strangers, he called for the annexation of the interior so that peace could be maintained in those areas, and the Krio of the Colony could benefit through commerce and the development of the natural resources of the interior. He blamed much of the misunderstanding between the people of the Colony and those of the then interior on the lack of communication and contact between the two. He therefore advocated for improved communications between the Colony and the hinterland so that there could be better understanding of the interior and greater opportunity to explore the many possibilities it offered.
In perceiving the possibility of harmonious, purposeful and beneficial relations between people of different cultures and regions, Sir Samuel Lewis left his mark as one of the first men to envision a united Sierra Leone.

Aigbofa:

An excerpt from Awos biography.

An article written by Zik himself, published on the front page of the Pilot, and entitled: "'Football Iliad, 1940 Edition'", shocked many people. It was a big step forward in an insidious campaign which had gone on for more than two years on the pages of the Pilot. A football team composed of students of the Christ the King's College, Onitsha, came to Lagos to play a 'Win the War' football match against St Gregory's College. The CKC team from Onitsha defeated St Gregory's team by 5 goals to 4. To the ordinary man in the street, let alone the highly sophisticated elements, there was nothing extraordinary or unusual in one school or college defeating another in a game of soccer. But not so with Dr Azikiwe. He saw in the sporting exploits and triumph of the team from Onitsha the inherent superiority of the easterners over their opponents, and he went to very great pains to establish this fact, by means of careful choice of words and emphasis. These extracts from the article are relevant: And then to think of the great combination of the Spartan heroes who crossed the lordly Niger, journeyed through the good earth of Benin, hurried across the domains of the Oshemawe of Ondo, of the Atanla of Owo, of the Owa of Ilesha, of the Oni of Ife, of the Alake of Abeokuta in their invasion of these islands!
Who, but heroes of mighty brawn and exceptionally developed brain would have dared to make this invasion and to succeed in carrying to their River Niger home, the Golden Fleece of InterCollegiate Soccer Championship of the Eastern and Western Provinces?
Yet they came to Lagos, they saw the irresistible defence put up by their opponents, and they conquered impressively, convincingly, and were graceful even in victory!
Could their achievement be paralleled?
Would it not be better for me to leave the answer to the laps of the gods?

On 24 August 1940, however, the same CKC team played in Ibadan against the Olubadan XI in another 'Win the War' match. The CKC were beaten 3-2 by the Olubadan XI which were an undiluted Yoruba team. Apart from sending the news to the Daily service myself, I also saw to it that it was wired to the Pilot. It was after there had been clamours in the Daily service, in form of letters to the editor, that the news of this Ibadan match was published some two weeks later in the Pilot. Even then, it was a small item on the back page, and it was explained in it that the CKC team were already tired and that some of them were in fact limping, before they went into the field against Olubadan XI. This was of course untrue.
I said before that the CKC episode was a big step forward in an insidious campaign which had gone on for more than two years on the pages of the Pilot. One or two more instances will be given. By the time the Pilot had published for a year, an important feature of the paper had become manifest. The Igbos in particular were given inordinate publicity on the pages of the paper. Perhaps this was as it should be. The Igbo had never had a share in newspaper publicity before the advent of the Pilot. But equally so, no Yoruba man of the class of the Igbos publicised in the Pilot ever had a share of publicity in any paper either. In those days one had to be an outstanding politician, a big shot in society, or a well-connected person, for one's name to appear in the Nigerian Daily Times, Nigerian Daily Telegraph andLagos Daily News. Of course if you had a friend working in the news or composing section of a paper, no matter who you were, you might be slipped in. Names of people like myself appeared in the papers simply because we were agitators or free-lance journalists. [b]All the same, it was generally agreed that the Igbos needed all the boosting they could get.But Dr Azikiwe went about it in a manner which disgusted those of us who were used to describing citizens of Nigeria as Nigerians or Africans, and regarding their achievements as reflecting credit on Nigeria, indeed Africa, as a whole. The following are typical of the titles of front page news items and of editorial articles in the Pilot.


1. ' Ibo Young Man to Sail to U.K.' is the heading of a frontpage story and picture on September 23, 1938. The young man is Mr Jaja Wachuku, now Speaker of Nigeria's House of Representatives.
2. '14th West African Student, 10th Nigerian, 8th Ibo in U.S.A.' Another front-page story on January 28, 1939. The 8th Ibo is Mr Nwafor Orizu, now Senator in Nigeria's Upper House.
3. 'Ibo Medical Student Passes Exam In First Class Honours.' Yet another front page story, on June 26, 1940, of the brilliant success of Dr S. O. Egwuatu.
4. Editorials:
i. ' A Model Union' ( August 8, 1938) in praise of the Ibibio State Union.
ii. 'One Year Ago' ( August 18, 1938) celebrating the first anniversary of the call to the Bar of the first Ibo lawyer, in the person of Mr Justice Louis Mbanefo, now Chief Justice of the Eastern Region High Court.
iii. 'The Ibo Are Coming' ( December 31, 1938) -- The very title is sufficiently indicative of the contents.

These are but a few examples of the publicity given to Igbos as a group. But as against these, the achievements of Yorubas and, in particular, the academic laurels of their scholars received, if at all, inconspicuous notice in the Pilot. When an Igbo did or was about to do something praiseworthy, he was invariably given a two-column headline and report in the Pilot, and was always described by his ethnic origin in the headlines. But when the Ph.D. degree of London University, indeed of any university for that matter, was conferred on the first Nigerian ever, the historic news was given a small singlecolumn space in the Pilot, and the headline read: 'Nigerian Economist Passes Ph.D. London.' The scholar concerned was Dr Fadipe, a Yoruba. As late as 1945, two Nigerian law students of Cambridge University, one Yoruba and one Igbo, passed the Law Tripos Examination. The Yoruba passed with second class honours (upper division), and the Igbo also passed with second class honours but in the lower division. The latter got front page publicity in the Pilot, but the former got a small space given to him on the back page a few days after the report of his Igbo colleague had appeared. As for outstanding Yoruba public men, they were all of them daubed as 'imperialist stooges' and ' Uncle Toms'.[/b]


Now, who started tribalism? The said article was written by Zik in 1940, over a decade before the carpet crossing you mentioned! As far back as 1938, Zik had already started his malicious campaign against Yorubas and suddenly he wanted to become their premier! Awo was a nice man, instead of carpet crossing, I would have had him flogged.

like i said before , igbos are self righteous hypocrites. not worthy of being taken seriously.

strength of a military is determined by weaponery , size of forces and fighting spirit.

strongest military in africa

1. egypt.

Largest in africa and middle east , relatively well equipped force . America supplies them with fairly modern weapons. like m1 a1 tanks and f 16 fighter jets. they would destroy nigeria easily.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Armed_Forces

2. Algeria.

they have the latest russian tanks and airplanes. far superior to anything that nigeria has.

they just bought 300 t-90 russian tanks, the most advanced tanks russia have to offer.

they also just bought su 30 fighter jets. very advanced 4th generation fighter jets from russia . they have a standing army of 125,000.

needless to say , they would walk over nigeria in a war.

3. south africa

not the larget army, but moderately well equipped and well trained. have a mature defence industry that manufacturers tanks and artillery.

relatively well armed . with a few 5th generation fighter jets and moderately modern home made battle tanks. great artillery guns.

4. Nigeria

large army but poorly equipped and moderately well trained. defence industry produces light arms. airforce is poorly equipped. large number of antiquated battle tanks .

NRI PRIEST:

We have come to stay in Lagos and with time we will join her politics in full blow...Isn't that the reason why awo murdered innocent children and called it fair game?? One naiheria!

buhahhahahaha. look here. if we want we can starve ur entire lagos population . and bulldose ur shops. motherfucker.


stupid bastards always trying to claim somebody elses stuff. thats why u stay getting killed.

Obiagu1: Until ACF and Ohanaeze work towards driving Yorubas out of Nigeria, nothing good will come out of this country.
Yorubas are non-Nigerians and must leave. Let them go with Bakassi!

yeah we too want to leave. but u must get out of our land.

u dey mind igbo.


most self righteous hypocrites u will ever meet.

igbos and ijaw do not have any similarities.

NU AKPAN - THE STRUGGLE FOR SECCESSION,1966-1970.

to a yoruba man.


yoruba people he despises.

now his daughter is sucking on yoruba cock every night.

too bad. she cute tho.

ojukwu . the tyrant.

make una read and learn the truth. that all i ask.

FROM HIS BOOK . MORE TO COME .

arent u the lot protesting against jungle justice online , now u bastard hypocrites are doing the exact same thing that you protested against. bastards.

remember all this was after they had bombed civilian population centers of lagos .


http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=qQZdAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FloNAAAAIBAJ&dq=lagos%20bombed&pg=795%2C2201295

fucking liberators my foot.

u bomb me , then u want me to accept u as liberators.

all of this and for what.

the violent subjugation and conquest of minority land.

thats the end game.

all this talk about liberation is rubbish.

its obvious these igbo criminals always have an ulterior motives.

never trust these bastards cus they are the most duplicitous lot.

talking about imposing his own military administrator on us , nah who beg u.

meglomanic bastard.

ezeagu:

To summarise: the Eastern Region did not declare a war, they voted for secession. Biafra did not consist entirely of Ojukwu and Ojukwu's wishes, he did have others with him in decision who were of different ethnicities including Ijaw and Ibibio. The war was not even meant to be as long as it was according to Nigeria, the major blunder was the saboteurs in the Niger Delta, the help from Egyptian bombers and other nationalities, and the blockade on all fronts (even from aid), if not then the supplies from Israel may have been good enough.

stop deceiving urself , the declaration of biafra was far from democratic.

there was nothing democratic about that mandate.

breaking up nigeria is not a military action , its a political one. so how can a military officer just decide to proclaim a region of a country soveriegn and declare himself head of state . only in africa.

Eziachi: It is funny Gowon and his listeners went ahead with their yapping conference a day after 500+ people were murdered just a stone throw from them. Blessed are the peace makers but 47 year late, Jack.

Aburi accord was peacefully signed and any man that went back on his word for what he agreed upon to bring peace and then armed himself with bombs, shelling market places, schools, hospitals, churches killing women and children without let up along with foreign backers like the Soviets, Egypt and crooked British, cannot turn around four decades later and claim to be a peace maker.

It seems we are in the season of reality check, fortunately many of them are alive to see the moster they created.

biafra bombed civilian population centers as well.

igbos are self righteous hypocrites.

achebe should write a book on the atrocities committed by biafra against minorities.

we can thank the igbos for this . cus u know aint no yoruba or hausa in south africa selling drugs.
