[quote author=AbuAeesha post=77546283][/quote]again another half truth.... There was riot and break down of order.... And in one instance troops were deployed from ibadan to restore peace in one of the riots..!!!!

DeeMain:
I don't like speaking on sensitive threads like this but comments like yours tug at me.


Igbo people did not kill Balewa and co. Coup plotters killed Balewa. The coup plotters were led by some Igbo soldiers. Coup plotters don't come to their tribesmen to seek for permission to carry out a coup.

The coup and the killing of select people is condemnable but the generalization and condemning of and the eventual massacre of a whole tribe for what few soldiers did is atrocious and unjust. This is at the heart of the ethnic bitterness and hatred that have strangled the building of a united progressive nation.

It is false logic to say that a few = a whole.

Does Boko Haram = Hausa/Fulani?
Are Fulani Herdsmen = The entire Fulani?

If so should we go on reprisal attack on all Fulani to get justice?
The same evil logic wiped out Odi in Rivers State. Few soldiers killed by militants. Justice meant wiping out the entire Odi village, raping and torturing and even killing their women?

Some blame Ironsi, the man who led the offensive that aborted the coup, for not decisively dealing with the perpetrators of the coup. True, Ironsi should have been quicker and more decisive in handing out judgment.

So the Igbo nation deserved to be punished for the weaknesses of the commander in chief. Another false logic.

Does Buhari's weaknesses in arresting Fulani herdsmen and bringing the killings in the Middle Belt to a halt justify a coup in which Buhari is killed and almost all Hausa/Fulani soldiers are wiped out and a pogrom is sanctioned against the entire Hausa/Fulani?

The injustice at the root of that war still festers today - see many comments on NL about 'Children of hate', terrorists and 'fear north' and even the perennial Yoruba vs Igbo fights here.

Until we realize where the rain started beating us and find creative ways to solve them and reconcile these anomalies nationhood will continue to elude us and charlatans like Nnamdi Kanu will continue milking the Biafra story for lucre. Until there is no country left.

We need a different kind of thinking and leadership to move this country forward.

point of correction, boko haram are the kanuris..... Don't let the north deceive you

UltiMax:
Why is history no longer taught as a subject in our secondary schools?

so our generation won't know about the past, but trust me, i am interested and i wont let any fool lie to me....

AbuAeesha:
but u need to remember that the igbos were the first to embark on bloody coup on once peaceful Nigeria

who lied to you sir??....... Nigeria?? Peaceful b4 the coup


Haba!!!!!!!! Nigeria was miles away from being peaceful....

olajizz01:
I think that's overstatement, military will never plot a sucessful coup and installed civilian afterwards.

nah!!! Its not overstated, this military we are talking about were very young and inexperienced, i am sure they would have handed over, ironsi on the other hand was experienced, he even served in foreign missions and was the one that eventually seized power........

The coup plotters were all young guys,some just a year after returning from training in Sandhurst

nku5:
They reaped what they sowed. Their own man gunned them down when they thought they were safe

i wont 'totally' agree bro.... The hausa and fulani are two distinct tribes, the hausa's view fulani's as oppressors BUT they have been silenced to the extent an outsider won't easily note the differences and potential weakness.........

Go check bro, A fulani would on no account ever bow to Hausa.......

So i think the perpetuator is a hausa, i might be wrong though but never 4get the above point.. The hausa-fulani and even kanuri are not friends, it is only religion that brings them 2geda

Officialgarri:
Without the military court martial for a whooping 6months?
Other plotters were usually executed within maximum of 3 months.
Ojukwu executed Banjo and Ifeajuna in a very short period despite Banjo's honest pleas.

tbh... Even though the cause was honest, this is one point he fvcked up!!.... Killing, banjo and Emmanuel


And true to their pleas, Enugu fell........ Smh

moseph:
my phone just hang on the day of my seminar presentation and no way to even restart the phone,and I had some documents to print that day from my phone.

In 2013,went to market with my mom,my Nokia X (5months old) and her techno was inside her purse with the market money of over 15k,we lost it to pick pocket.

damn!!!!

CreepyBlackpool:
I started last year with Gionee A1.
My charger spoilt when I was very far away from my usual electronics seller.
I bought from someone else and the charger spoilt the phone.


Then I used tecno W4 for like 2 months, then it got stolen.


I used nokia torch for a week before getting a tecno spark.


Went partyin on my birthday in December and did not return with the Tecno spark.


Been using itel6900 since then

4get bro transsion company really targeted you..

VIVO and OPPO are better

Arda1000:
Oga na lie Nigeria don't have what it takes to even defeat a country that has weak military power than them

have you been to our armoury?? No??!!

Ok, whenever you get there you would know we have the means and cqpacity..

davillian:
There is something holding the Nigerian army because the Nigerian army I know is no match for bokoharam.
I wish the Nigerian army can release a final assault on this BH guys.
They should just pick a D day and unleash hell on these insurgents once and for all.
I use to think number is an added advantage in war but here its not.
Just wondering.

and yeah, number is an added advantage depending on the ratio but even at that it ain't a big guarantee ooo..... Remember US vs Vietnam??

i understand but it depends on the type of war, BH dont face the NA often, they usually just do hit and run shii.........

mikez474:
An invading country won't fight in a hit and run fashion like boko haram does, neither using guerrilla means(except in some cases)nor employ suicide bombers
An invading country would fight using the conventional method of warfare which the nigerian army is suited for
am not glorifying the nigerian army
remember what they did to the chadian forces that tried such nonsense

i swear anytime i read about it i usually laugh, hehehehe, we almost took their capital oooo, no joking....... And the funny thing is Buhari was the commanding officer that led that very counter attack

Arda1000:
Can Nigeria defeat any country in a war?

yes.....especially if we are the non agressors...... This fight against BH is a battle from within both from a military standpoint and political standpoint....

greatbrian:
Where they are is called an harbour. And they are far from the arc of fire of the enemy. Secondly, soldiers are mounting sentries around the area and any attack will be duely noted

tell them bros..

27Pushing30:
Seems you need to google the term Guerilla warfare.

Also this is a War not an invasion

please tell them.......

They need serious update on military stuffs...

osuofia2:
what happened to trenches, all an eye service. basic military rule. dig a trench

see this guy, who told you digging trenches is a basic military rule?!!! .......... Trenches are only built as a necessity not basically, you build trenches to stop/slow down invading tanks, heavy artillery and other vehicular weapons........ As of now BH dont have a tank brigade, so why deface the city with trenches!!!


Get your facts right..

marvin906:
Huawei xioami pls come to Nigeria show them the definition of monster

vivo too

Gandollaar:
I don't know your age, but saying Tinubu ain't going for presidency is childish.

ok

ken6488:
They left it because only south is closed to the water

I don't know why I hate The north I feel they are using us

true and if you check the navy is the least equipped of all of them.......... And yes they cheat us in almost every aspect........but worry less bro, a revolution is coming, the hausas, and the rest of the population is free from the shackles of the fulanis....

ken6488:
You are wicked

But true it can happen
If you read history that is how the yoruba lost ilorin and old Oyo to Fulani conquest

i schooled in kwara state and one time during a little history lesson i asked my yoruba teacher about this and he said, even till today the fall of ilorin was the most painful of all lost yoruba territories

Lol, el rufai would only teach him how to turn his state upside down,

ken6488:
SW is willing to sacrifice everything for 2023

Sadly

Even in the military everything north

everything except the Navy, the south has the Navy

ken6488:
Even oba of lagoo left his chair for buhari

lol, very soon it would be, an Emir of Lagos...

paddyofboss:
This one will do more than wizzy. He apparently has sense but looks gay

lol.... Looks more of a future player to me....... You know the 2 face type....

Odingo1:
Nawaoo, SW should cover their face in shame.

funny thing is they know this but pride would not allow them see it as oppression, they prefer to bow to an Emir.. Pffttt

Tinubu knows he aint going for presidency he is only looking for means for a SS/SE to bow to him or beg of dome sorts... But i tell him, he lies....

MetaPhysical:
Calm down. Tinubu is not like Atiku. Look how important and popular Tinubu is and with no national burden sitting on his shoulders....what would he want to be president for? 2023 is owned by SW though.

wrong wrong..... Your last statement, recheck it
.. SW has held the number 1 and 2 posting for potential joint 16 years....and you think all Nigerians are high on cheap weed??

The prediction is clear and open, it would be SW vs SE/SS come 2023....the north would only be there to serve as referee and match dictators...

It now balls down to which party picks which zone as its frontrunner....

HallaDaTruth:
Every state in the east is carrying out one massive project or the others. Let's stop all this unnecessary competitions and arguments on which state is better

it is the competition that brings out developments bro..... Look at calabar and uyo, previously calabarians would laugh at uyo people and call them villagers, what about now??... Pfftt...

Chizuru01:
Am not saying that Abia is now as good as Enugu in terms of good roads, but trust me, If we can get similiar governor like or even better than Okezie as governors hence fort, Trust me Abia State will be competting with Calabar in few years to come

ok i was agreeing to your comment until you mentioned calabar?? Jeez!! Cali is dead now, calabar is now lowkey regarded as the old city........... Uyo would have been a far better city to compare with
