eminikansoso: OP, I would have read everything but when it get to Libya Gadafi I was shocked the way the Libyan leader was presented. If we have somebody like Gadafi in this country called Nigeria, every country of the world will be envy of us.
Youre a fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool for the rubbish you wrote about Gadhafi
Where did you get the rubbish from?
The west will always just label anyone who is not ass-licking the a bad person.
we now know what Libya has become without Gaddafi . I'm sure there can never be peace in that country again. Oil price is not helping matters. Even if it does, Libya is not selling.
Sadam and Gaddafi were bad guys doing a good job- Donald Trump
PrecisionFx: King Jaja of Opobo, an Igbo boy, came to ss as a SLAVE. Yet within a few years he became a powerful king right under the nose of the native people.
"A top Afonja still sharing ur idiocy upandan'??.
This same people u hate so much n talk trash about asked for their freedom n u insisted that they must stay wit u or else u will declare a war to bring them back. .
As for the Ahmadu bello video, it shows how much the north hated the igbos yet they are swearing n calling for war if they attempt to leave. It clearly shows why the coup plotters (igbo, Hausa and Yoruba) agreed unanimously that he should be killed, he was against national unity.
It became a crime (only in nigeria) for someone to have an ambition, set personal targets and work hard to achieve those ambitions - clearly a top reason why nigeria remains a hell hole 57 years on.
Nigeria would have fared better if we maintained the system where everyone competes and the best chosen(wen it was practiced, igbos excelled n and headed most parastatals in the country), instead of keying in to the beliefs of igbos in terms of ambition, hard work for success, u guys started the 'pull him down ' attitude n destroyed the country.
Jaja of opobo didn't come to SS as a slave, he became a slave and was sold to white men. He was very intelligent n resourceful and his master elevated him to join in on his business and even advise him on certain matters. This made jaja to make more money for his master and he paid for his freedom in quick fashion. He travelled back to nigeria and set up a kingdom in Opobo. Try n read about the man n stop talking trash, ur selling ur self
if you were less emotional, we'd have gotten your point.
You blame everyone, but yourselves. There was a quit notice last time and we saw your reaction.
You killed northern leaders, made music to mark that unfortunate event, played that music in bar across the east, but still expect the north not to say a thing.
If that event was left unreplied or untreated, I don't know what the Ibo would have been saying today. Northerners would have been gagged forever.
The retaliation or counter coup was rather apt. Every action of ironsi pointed to the fact those young officers left unpunished were on a mission for the Ibo.
9jaDoc: They find a way to win. It's like u r playing a game with someone and they always do whatever it takes to beat u. Whether it takes - being honest, being dishonest, deceptive, hard working, working smart, eye-service, whatever. Of course after a while u won't particularly want to play with them anymore because they always end up winning.
What Ahmadu Bello didn't say was that the person who would make the Igbo laborer headman over Northerners would likely be a Northerner.
well, going by your first paragraph, the second(para) wouldn't have been difficult...they "end up winning" by deception.
9jaDoc: Well u.can surmise who is telling the truth. Gowon said he became ill and couldn't make the announcement as agreed (lol)
Femi Adesina is a one-Nigeria man, a Buhari man.
Here's his take on it (note the bolded):
Federal Government's Violation Of The Aburi Accord Led To The Nigerian Civil War - Femi Adesina
(Femi Adesina is currently the special adviser on media and publicity to President Buhari.)
"The meeting held on January 4 and 5, 1967, and came out with what is popularly known today as the Aburi Accord.
The agenda of the meeting consisted of three crucial issues: (i) Reorganization of the Armed Forces (ii) Constitutional agreement (iii) Issues of displaced persons within Nigeria.
The two-day meeting reached consensus that were acceptable to both sides... This was something akin to federalism, even under a military government...
What does this mean again in simple language? Equity, fairness, true federalism.
Matters like the holding of an ad hoc constitutional conference, fate of soldiers involved in the January 15, 1966 coup, rehabilitation of displaced persons, etc, were also amicably resolved, and the conferees returned happily to Nigeria. Only for the Federal side to deliver a blow to the solar plexus: The Aburi Accord, Gowon said, was unworkable, and he reneged on all the agreements".
9jaDoc: And I'm telling u that attitude was there long b4 Gowon created states. If you want to know the genesis of it, here is a hint: King Jaja of Opobo, an Igbo boy, came to ss as a SLAVE. Yet within a few years he became a powerful king right under the nose of the native people. Multiply such feat many times over with other Igbos who came to ss. It is also the same reason Ahmadu Bello said this (long b4 the civil war):
9jaDoc: I live with my husband. We never liked each other and live in different rooms. Say my husband is having a big quarrel with you. You now announce that my room would henceforth be called by my name, my husband's room by his name. Don't u see it will have minimal effect
To make it less intricate;
Your husband=igbo You= the SS minorities Me= North
Lol. Does that solve the problem? Maybe not.
I'm now saying, henceforth, you cease to be seen as part of his property. Own your own land and be independent of his influence and control. This offer is better than the one you painted up there.
Maybe not a clear scenario, but I think I can understand you.
APC is foolish to have used this blacksheep to gain popularity.
He betrayed his dad when he was still alive. So I am not surprised.
He is a traitor, A mistake of birth; Ojukwu disowned him severally. This fool does not even command the respect of his immediate family let alone Anambra state.
I'm happy for him sha, This is an avenue for him to enrichen himself.
9jaDoc: Aguiyi Ironsi's setup wasn't unitary as such. If it were, the East would not have been able to even talk of secession. Ironsi simply continued the system he met, unlike today when all power is at the center.
As for Ojukwu, he sincerely wanted the Aburi accord followed. It was Gowon and FG that reneged.
did you hear when Gowon came out last time to blame ojukwu?
9jaDoc: Nobody should take any cradit for minorities not wanting to be a part of Biafra. Ken Saro Wiwa was not Ijaw but he and his folks also didn't want any part of Biafra. Did u miss this part of the write-up:
But the Biafrans knew that their vulnerable line was along Ogoja, Ikom, Calabar, Port Harcourt, and Yenogoa. Support from the six million people making up the Eastern minorities was very much unsure.
The minorities viewed their leaders in Biafra high command as traitors. And without the minorities, Biafra would be landlocked and most likely, unviable as a state. More so, their vast oil and gas resources were the reason they contemplated secession in the first plac
this is like you telling me you don't like your husband/BF(with belief I'm talking to a lady), if I want to come in , I'd build on the existing gap and give you reason why you shouldn't stick with him.
We knew there was not much support from the minorities , but we couldn't have ruled out possibility of an alliance if biafra had succeeded.
