Some people are just so directionless that hate is what push them around, I remember that time that anytime el rufai name is mentioned those hate filled cretins will always call him butcher of southern kaduna n other derogatory names n they will always remind u of how el rufai will meet his Waterloo

Today same people are queuing behind el rufai n making a case for him

Ask them y?

Simply because they believe el rufai is now Tinubu enemy.....


That's y nobody takes them serious, they have no guiding principle but hate

Another lie again.

Okpara hosted the blood drenched Ifeanjuna fresh from his murderous spree on the afternoon of Jan 15 at his official residence.

Ifeanjuna drove to Enugu to meet with Okpara after he had murdered and disposed the body of the PM.

Okpara refused to tell us what Ifeanjuna came to discuss with him at his official residence.

After their meeting, Okpara made a broadcast through EBS radio service announcing a military coup had transpired and that he will be stepping down.

Okpara placed himself on house arrest at his official residence .

Is that what you call arrest ?

We all can infer that Ifeanjuna drove straight to Enugu to meet with Okpara to brief him that all of Zik's political opponents had been murdered and for Okpara to pass the message to Zik.

I will be creating a fresh topic on how Zik had become politically neutered following the collapse of the coalition govt and how the new alliance between the NPC with Akintola's NNDP alongside Niger Delta Congress that won the elections in 1964 had seen to Zik automatically losing his position as President .

Zik will however refuse to accept the results of that election in 1964 and refuse to inaugurate the new coalition govt.

Instead Zik rejected the results claiming widespread violence in the Western region and sacked Balewa as the PM.

Balewa will sack Zik back and told him he had no legal or constitutional authority to pass himself as the President.

Zik will respond that the constitutional provisions that created his office in 1963 from governor-general to HoS specifically mentioned his name.

Zik had smuggled a clause that specifically named him as HoS.

This led to the 1964 constitutional crisis.

Zik refused to accept the result of that election and refused to step down from office.

A compromise was reached to allow Zik a single 5y tenure to end in 1968.

Zik used that opportunity to appoint Ironsi as head of the army and saturated other strategic federal positions with his fellow Ibos his office had zoned to him.

From every indication, it was Zik and his Zikist mob that were the architect of Nigeria's woes.

Candid1872:
Why did you call him criminal? I went to Google to ask if Mr. Okpara was a criminal.. he didn't even build a house . na Ogun go kpai u this GenZ

This is the response,
No — *Dr. Michael Iheonukara Okpara (1920-1984), Premier of Eastern Nigeria 1959-1966, was never convicted of any crime.*

Here is what the historical record shows:

*1. One arrest, no conviction - 1949 Enugu Coal Mine riot:*
After police shot rioting workers at the Enugu coal mines in 1949, Okpara was arrested for alleged complicity in inciting the riot as a member of the Zikist Movement. He was soon released. No charge was sustained.

*2. No corruption conviction in office:*
He was Premier from 1959 until the military coup of January 1966. Unlike many First Republic politicians, he is historically cited as an example of personal integrity:

- He "never owned a house of his own while he was in government"
- When the war ended in 1970 and he wanted to study abroad, he "could not raise the fees", and before returning from exile in 1979, his associates had to contribute to build him a house in his village Umuegwu.

He was detained after the January 1966 coup like other politicians, but survived — two other Premiers were killed — and was later released, not tried for a crime.

There are no court records of him being tried or convicted for corruption, theft, or other crimes during or after his tenure. In Nigerian historiography he is generally remembered for "pragmatic socialism," farm settlements, and industrialization of the East, not for criminality.

chemicool:
We didn't hear the criminal Okpara say anything here Na. This was a lie obviously.

43Ronin:
Stop with your lies! Midwest region is a creation of nnamdi azikiwe, Taiwan balewa & Michael opara. Yorubas were oppressing the edos, igbos and other minorities in the west then,its well documented fact. Theres was an election where 89% ofthe people of the Midwest voted to leave SW.

Irony1:
That was not true. How come the same midwest people overwhelmingly voted to leave.

Ezeama400:
No you lied!!

The British colonial administration—specifically under Sir Bernard Bourdillon and the regional administrative evolution of the Southern Provinces—shifted the administrative focus and capital of the Eastern Provinces to Enugu around 1938/1939 (following its earlier role as the headquarters of the Southern Provinces starting in 1929).

Leave Igbos alone and stop the propaganda.

FSBoperator:
This one has come with his lies.

It is on record that Enugu was built from scratch using resources from minority people.

Enugu was the very first Abuja.

What was the rationale from moving the capital of Eastern Nigeria from Calabar to one desolate water barren land that is Enugu?

Go and read up on why western Cameroun people wanted out of Nigeria and you will see where they condemned the severe marginalisation of the minority enclaves in preference to developing Enugu.

You do know that Enugu became the capital of Eastern Nigeria in 1960 by a majority Ibo house ruling.

You do know that Enugu was dubbed the fastest growing city in the world because every resource was being channeled to building it from scratch.

As per the economy of western Nigeria, cocoa was the mainstay which Yoruba provinces dominated.

And Ibadan was already a cosmopolitan city long before independence .

There was no talk of marginalisation as a reason for wanting to have their own region by the minorities in western Nigeria.

The motivation was to have their own cultural identity which the Oba of Benin used in highlighting as a major grievance.

Did the Yorubas oppose the minority aggitarion?

Capital No.

The Yorubas instead stated that they who led the independence movement will be the biggest hypocrites to oppose the agitation of their own co Africans.

Was this the case in the East and northern Nigeria ?

Hell no.

plessis:
A whooping 98% of the people of delta and edo state voted to leave the Western region citing marginalization and oppression. After the referendum, the rascals would give the people of delta and edo state 48 hours to leave their region and stoned them as they left.

Ezeama400:
Very eloquent and Gallant man


History with facts and figures, not fabricated lies, propaganda with zero evidence..



Things were very tough for Midwesterners to the extent that Igbos of Delta state today (Anioma), also resumed their long term agitation which was to join Eastern Igbos if Midwest creation becomes impossible.. Then Okpara and other foresight leaders had to step in to liberate them from westerners, including other leaders from parts of Today’s Delta and Edo states.

At Ibadan those days, they used to lock non yoruba traditional leaders outside, especially those that attended the Council of traditional rulers meeting late, but no record of such happening to Yoruba traditional rulers even when they were also guilty of similar offence..

A lot of incredible things happened in western region where non Yorubas minorities were subjected to a lot of ridiculous situations.

The one that broke Carmel’s back was imposing Yoruba language on non Yorubas in the western region.. Eastern Igbos couldn’t bear it anymore.

And before anyone start engaging me, provide a clear evidence to back up your claims like I did..

Our leaders are bad and paying a subsidy for fuel was one of the bad decisions they made.

Our leaders are bad because they made crude oil our only source of income. The result is that we have revenue that on a good day can only take care of less than 10 million.Not 237 million.

How did u calculate that it should take care of only 10 million people?

Had our leaders developed an industrial economy since independce, had subsidy even gone in 1993, we might have been in a better place today. But here we are

The NDLEA in Ebonyi charges about 300k per month for admission, without food o. You bring food daily. Just admission with security for him not to take it, 300k a month.

I feel your pain bro, but the truth is you can not jail your elder brother, that will be too harsh, I suggest you pray for him to change, that is what your brother need now, only Jesus is capable of healing your brother, I have my own pass and it is God that heal me and I also believe the same God will heal your brother just believe in him. That's all.

Why won't government close that yeye human rights abusive place. Just imagine what your religion can do in the name of treating people with drug addiction issues.

Back to topic.
My dear water don pass garri in that your brother's case, he will continue like that until he kills somebody or get himself killed. My nephew died two years ago under same circumstances.

Instead of waiting for him to kill your parents or any other person, try and source for funds and take him to a mental home, it's much better than keeping him home.

One killed his father with matchets week before last in Rumuokwurusi, just like that without any provocation.

T0BY:
How through is this? Because I find it hard to believe some stories here these days.. nah just to catch cruise.


If it's actually true, you people should surrender him to psychiatric people or white garment church like cherubim(sele) make them chain am there and do the needful.. the madness from the drugs go disembark in no distant time.

Say no to drugs abeg. E no dey solve life 's problems or challenges.
