The only reason Ojukwu declared Biafra was because Gowon created states out of the old yeast. The minority provinces had been clamouring since 1953 to leave the yeast .They got a break through in the closing months of 1965 and had secured support from MPs from the north, western and Midwestern region to have their region created out of the yeast. The Federal House went on break for the New Year and was meant to convene in late January to address the matter for the creation of Calabar -Ogoja-Rivers region. That was when your Ibo officers working with strict instructions and orders from Zik and his minions in Enugu to eliminate all regional heads and the PM who had given their blessings and support to the creation of COR region.

To ensure the matter was never revisited , the buffon Ironsi abolished regionalism and supplanted himself with a handful of Zikist loyalists as the new powerful centrist dictatorship of the land.

The Jan 15 coup was meant to prevent the creation of COR region out of the yeast.


When Gowon later became HoS, he then attended to this long held grieviance by the so-called minority people trapped in the British created adminstrative colonial estate known as Eastern Nigeria. 2 states -Old Rivers (comprising of present day Rivers and Bayelsa) and Old Cross River (Akwa Ibom and present day Cross River) were created by a special decree by Gowon.

It's at this very point that Ojukwu declared Biafra and dragged the already Ibo weary minorities into his useless Biafra.

This is the summation of the greed and foolishness that saw to the first bloody and senseless coup and Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra.

It was all down to cornering the newly discovered oil wells in minority lprovinces and their lands.

To prove this is the real cause of the war, we still see you IPOB goats recycling the greedy ambitions of your war generation till this day by dragging the entire SS into your miserable failed Biafra 2.0.

Fool, Ojukwu and his fellow pyschopaths in Enugu did not give a rats ass about Ibo lives . It was the oil they were interested in and nothing else that's why Ojukwu oversaw the man made famine that saw to 3 million of his fellow ibos starved to death in a bid to gain global sympathy and support.

Oil and SS lands is what choke your ojukwu and his fellow Ibo land grabbers

JagabanBorgu:
The post made me laugh.
The iIIitracy of lgb0s is shown in their lack of knowledge about basics.
1945 is called "Jos Riot" not "massacre".
1953 was targeted at Yoruba in Kano, it was more of North vs South crises.
The south wants independence while the north objected and even wanted secession, today, lgb0s are claiming victims as usual.
If u lots had stayed in your homes, wouId there be kiIIings of lgb0s anywhere?

Ignore the foolish idiot IPOB clown.


See my post above for why ibos carried out the coup of Jan 15 and why they later declared Biafra.


You will now see why they are still hell bent on annexing SS till this very moment.

gidgiddy:
The Killing of Igbos has been happening in Nigeria, even in colonial times. Examples are the 1945 Jos massacre and the 1953 Kano massacre. But the straw that broke the Camels back was the massacre of 1966. There was mass killings of Easterners, mainly Igbos, all over Nigeria, particularly in the North. Millions of Igbos headed back the East in fear of their lives. The Military Governor of the Eastern Region, Lt Col Ojukwu, was furious at head of the Military Government, Lt Col Gowon, for doing nothing as thousands of Igbos were killed. Many Eastern groups approached Ojukwu and asked him to declare the Eastern Region a seperate country in the face of genocide. Ojukwu refuses and opts to meet Gowon

The Military President of Ghana, General Ankrah, hosts Gowon and Ojukwu in his Hilltop mansion in Aburi, Ghana in January 1967 . Ojukwu and Gowon negotiate for two days, reach an agreement, which both men signed in front of General Ankrah. One of the points of the agreement was that Gowon would not change the structural arrangement of Nigeria during the period of Military rule. When they return home, Gowon starts to deny the agreement, and completely breaks the agreement with Decree 14, which abolished all four Regions, and created 12 new states, changing the structural arrangement of Nigeria

In retaliation, Ojukwu declares the Eastern Region as Republic of Biafra. Gowon declares war, which leads to a three year armed conflict.

The rest is history

Rubbish as usual.

The only reason Ojukwu declared Biafra was because Gowon created states out of the old yeast. The minority provinces had been clamouring since 1953 to leave the yeast .They got a break through in the closing months of 1965 and had secured support from MPs from the north, western and Midwestern region to have their region created out of the yeast.

Mrexcell:
Soludo is doing a great job I used to be against his style of politics but on this clamp down on criminal native doctors am totally with him these new generation of native doctors wants to turn anambra and the entire igboland to something else.

The native doctors are in demand because the vast majority of people in that state are ritualists.

The basic theory of demand and supply applies here .

There won't be so many fetish voodoo priests all over that state if there wasn't a demand for their services.

These are the people who were claiming champions of Christianity in Nigeria and were the most vocal against the so-called Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Even their fake Messiah dubbed the elections as a "religious war" between Christians and Muslims.

I have not heard the fool support Solodu in his attempt at cleansing the state of its diabolical heathen practices that border on murder, kidnapping and organ harvesting..

Next time they come out with any talk of being champions of Christianity ask them why is their region so infested with diabolical fetish heathen practices ?

Racoon:
Wendel Simlin chochocho! El-Rufai is indeed a frustrated ethno-religious bigot and supremacist but he rightly described you as “a PR consultant” and “online influencer." Such individuals thrive in the “Renewed Hope era and the only qualifications needed to be on the payroll are;

Moral flexibility, Total shameless- ness, Selective amnesia, Wretched upbringing and Intense craving for quick and easy money." Say it is not true Reno?

Reno don end your Agulu fraud career.

Greenback:
That's not the question..the question is show us where you preached,wrote epistles,foamed about buhari before he became president like you are doing about Obi,simple

Dunce , I was the most vocal anti APC and anti Buhari poster here even long before 2015.


There was one poster here who goes by GenBuhari as his handle who had been promoting Buhari since forever long before the Chanji madness on this site. I never gave him breathing space then.

So don't think I don't know a fraud and packaged shit when I see one.

Your obi ticks all the wrong boxes and will even be far worse than Buhari dissster sef.

Besides, I do not owe you or your obidient lunatic bunch and your principal Agulu fraud anything.

I voted against the fraud in 2023 and I will do it again if he ever gets any party to hand them their ticket.

Greenback:
Buhari was a president for 8 years and the question is,did you make any such post or thread or foaming in the mouth before he became president?

You can go through my post here and see when I ever supported Buhari .

Your Agulu fraud is not in any way fit to be a governor talk more of President of Nigeria.

This is the same Alambla heathen enclave one fraudster hails from who abused the pulpit yo campaign as champion of Christianity in Nigeria and had declared the elections as a religious war.

What a backward shithole .

This is the 21st century and we still have some idiots openly demanding they be allowed to carry on with their backward fetish superstitious nonesense.


Well, it's Alambla after all were even fake drug merchants are protesting against NAFDAC


Next thing is to hear of baby factory merchants and kidnappers complaining of interference from Government.

Backward barbaric shithole .

That's why they go batshit and furious if you reject their Agulu counterfeit Messiah.

Greenback:
Your darling Buhari worked directly under same Abacha as chairman of PTF and he is known to have truncated democracy in the 1980s but you hypocrites had no problems whatsoever making him president for good 8 years...I am very sure you are ignorant of this 😁😁😁😁

Foolishness is when you assume everyone who is rightly against your fraudulent counterfeit Messiah is an APC and Buhari supporter.


That's like saying Wike supported Buhari.


Besides, I like how you are all now worshiping IBB who was part of the squad of junior northern officers that massacred Ibo officers at the Ikeja cantonment.

psalmsjob:
you no waste time at all to introduce yourself add peter-obi-ass-licker to it so that it becomes I have Decidetolive as a tribal bigot with high level of foolishness and a peter-obi-ass-licker

It's highly frustrating to them that people are no longer buying their fake Messiah product.

Decidetolive:
Thread made by a tribal bigot with high level of foolishness

Obi was never part of the struggle to return Nigeria to a democracy.

If anything , Obi became who he is today courtesy of one of the most brutal military dictatorships ever to exist.

All that bukum he keeps spewing of being a self made man is all horse shit.

YoruBads:
Your question is wrong, it should be, Why is Labour party begging Peter Obi to be their flag bearer?

You Yorubas should know that Obi is a very smart man, you can't compromise him or his network

Lolz

Obi that was in serious pains after Abure declared an end to free tickets?

The whole point of Obi's renegade NWC is to oust Abure and instal a new chairman that will ensure Obi gets the ticket unopposed.

YoruBads:
Obidients made Labour Party what it was, they've also moved their structures out of the Yoruba cursed leorous party.

You should then adopt the name Wanderers Party of Nigeria, WPN because nah so Una go dey move like restless demonic spirit from one party to another till thine Kingdom come.

Counterigbolies:
even tinubu wants obi to contest under LP so it can b an easy ride for tinubu

By the time u Igbos realize u are working to tinubu advantage, it will b too late to mend

You dey mind them.

Pat Utomj that floated the entire Obidient crap is a Tinubu boy since 1999.

Can they tell us where Pat Utomj is now ?

They should be reminded that Utomi had been fishing awards to Tinubu since he started his award racket .

Ikonse:
He's actually a clown. Thanks for putting him where he belongs

Better advise your obi to start shopping for a party that will give him automatic ticket in 2027 because there's a very high chance he won't get the LP ticket .

MadamVanessa:



Clown


So far Nigeria Lp is concern, no politician on earth can beat Obi to get the ticket even if the primary election is conducted billion times, including your dirty rotten teeth Iragbiji drug lord, Obi will beat that illiterate silly.

Nah fight ?

Anyways , let's wait and see .

Because I know Obi will be heading to court soon and it won't be over the 2027 elections proper but over who should have gotten the LP nomination ticket.

Obi will not smell the LP ticket because he does not have the appeal across his own party.

All the wahala in the LP is because Obi is afraid of Abure throwing the Presidential ticket for the LP open to all .


Obi has never ever contested for any party nomination ticket in his political career.

Ojukwu handed the APGA Gubernatorial ticket for the Anambra state elections to Obi on the vow that Obi will never leave APGA.


At no time has Obi ever subjected himself to internal party politics.

When Obi found out that the PDP wasn't going to zone their ticket, Obi packed up and left to LP were he got the ticket free of charge

Now that Abure has vowed to throw the contest wide open , Obi is now jittery and trying to remove Abure and have him replaced with someone who will give him automatic ticket.

My question is why is Obi afraid to contest for the ticket of a party he claims to be a leader of and the most popular politician there?

The truth is that SW and northern party members of the LP will not support Obi getting their party ticket .

Carazon:
Obi this
Obi that
Obi those
Obi these
Obi will continue tormenting you guys

And obi will never EVER be President of Nigeria

Yujin:
I've known you to be full of hate and rarely given to objectivity. Thus, I won't dwell much on this with you. I'll just respond a little for others with a clear mind to get the message better.

I did list most of those who got a copy of the manuscript. Achebe was just one of them. Why dwell only on Achebe? HATE is your reason.
Longmann publishers in Lagos and UK REFUSED to publish it. Daily Times of Nigeria did not publish it even when their staff Peter Enahoro had the original handwritten manuscript with him. He was instructed by most likely, his boss at Daily Times to burn it which he did.
Awolowo got it and almost published it but on a second thought decided not to. You didn't see this one but only focused on Achebe.
Odia Ofeimun has a copy and is still alive. He hasn't published it and it doesn't look like he will.
Olusegun Obasanjo has a copy and hasn't published it either. Is he in cahoots with Achebe on hiding its content? OBJ is still alive.
IBB and other subsequent Heads of state and presidents who cared had access to a copy of the manuscript. Non of them have thought it wise to publish it yet only Achebe is the one you're fixated on. The book Achebe wrote by himself which revealed what he saw, knew and witnessed you still have refused to believe. What then shows you'll believe the manuscript if he had published it?
The truth will eventually set the innocent free whether haters and envious people like it or not.

If the manuscript stated that Awo was behind the coup , do you think Achebe will hesitate to publish it?

I believe the real reason it was suppressed was to save Zik who had condemned Biafra and switched sides to the Nigerian side following the chasing out of Biafran forces from both the Midwest and the minority coastal provinces of the defunct eastern region

The reason those on the Nigerian side would have not wanted to the manuscript published was most probably because of Zik and Gowon's reintegration policy.

Achebe refusing to publish it is because of the above and more condemnation of ojukwu and the Biafran declaration by ifeanjuna .

After all, ifeanjuna was quoted on saying that "Biafra was never the plan" with regards to Ojukwu declaring Biafra.

Same Ifeanjuna and Nzeagwu were once stripped of any command position by Ojukwu and even issued a General Order to all officers and men of the Biafran army not to accord both men any salute or be seeing mingling with them .


Lastly , it's very suspect why the career propagandists and Biafra apologist in the form of Achebe won't have seized on any information in the manuscript that indicted Awolowo as the brains behind the coup. Rather , Achebe refused to do the needful because it's most likely that the manuscript inducted the likes of Zik and other Eastern Nigerian Ibo politicians as the ones behind the coup.

Namaster:
It is DISTURBING that politicians are advocating for the PROMPT re-opening of a market whose SOLE purpose is the manufacturing and distribution of POISON.

These criminals are producing and selling FAKE, and therefore DANGEROUS, drugs to people whose health are already FRAGILE.

YET politicians are UNITED in defending them.

It's a fuccccking SHAME!

But you are WRONG about it being up to State Governments.

NAFDAC is a federal agency that was established specifically to TACKLE issues like this.

But they are TIMID in the execution of their duty.

That whole market should have been DEMOLISHED!

And all 10,000 criminals should have been packed into a TINY prison to seethe and rot in their WICKEDNESS.

And their sponsors and financiers should be tracked down and forced to FORFEIT all their assets to the government before joining their foot soldiers in prison.

People who make it their business to willfully PEDDLE poison to MILLIONS of vulnerable people are worse than DEMONS.

They do NOT deserve to live among humans.

If people were NOT so dumb, every politician advocating for the re-opening of that market should have been LYNCHED by now.

I didn't call for NAFDAC scrapping .


I am calling on state assembly houses to pass bills that will sanitize the retailing and distribution of consumables.


The era of some village touts from the yeast dispensing drugs off the counter should come to an end.

These same semi illiterates operating pharmacies are the ones used as outlets by the fake drug merchants to distribute their whares.

The fact that the entire Anambra state House of assembly is riding with the fake merchants and calling for reopening of that market despite NAFDAC not yet concluding their investigator shows that every state must do all it can yo assist NAFDAC in clamping down on the menace of fake drugs and other consumer goods.

nonhuman:
na only you know where the script is may be you go and ask Achebe whereever he is as you claim and read the manuscript don't bother returning, we are not interested

Goat is crying.

nonhuman:
Yoruba and their media manipulation against ndi Igbo didn't start today their offspring like this one is carrying on with the trade. Mumu people

Why did Achebe refuse to publish Ifeanjuna's manuscript ?

Yujin:
That manuscript will rarely ever be printed. This is because Nigeria has a history of hiding things they fear instead of bringing it out in the open for all to see, discuss and decide on. I've researched a lot to know about that manuscript and will say that though I'm yet to get a copy of it, I've been able to get some of its content through the reports of those who have copies of it with them. I'll list the names of those who I know have/had a copy and yet none of them have published it including the federal government of Nigeria under Yakubu Gowon. They all have their reasons for not publishing because it didn't fit the narrative they needed to prosecute what they wanted at the time. Obafemi Awolowo almost published it in the 1979 when he thought the contents of the manuscript will help him until it was realized that like a double edged sword, it could also destroy his chances.
Below are the names of those who had a copy of the manuscript.
J.P Clark ---- he sent it to Longmann for publication but they refused to do so citing that its content was incendiary. It was reported that he gave it to a brother in-law to give to Ifeajuna's wife known as Rose. What happened to the original handwritten manuscript thereafter wasn't known to him.

Christopher Okigbo---- a friend to both Ifeajuna and J.P Clark.

Chinua Achebe---- a friend and co-worker to
Okigbo who didn't believe the contents of the manuscript because he felt Ifeajuna painted himself as a hero.

Longmann publishers both in Nigeria(Lagos) and UK---- they gave it to the Nigerian High Commissioner in London to return to the Nigerian government under Gowon.

Brigadier Babafemi Ogundipe--- he forwarded it to Gowon's government in Lagos.

Obafemi Awolowo---- had access to it after accepting Gowon's ministerial appointment.

Peter Enahoro---- (not to be confused with
Anthony Enahoro who was his older brother). He got the original handwritten manuscript probably from government sources in Lagos and was instructed to burn it exactly on the 29th July 1966 when the northern coup plotters struck and killed Ironsi among other eastern military men. He was a popular journalist fondly called 'Peter Pan'.

Olusegun Obasanjo---- had access probably when he became head of state after the murder of Murtala Mohammed. Peter Enahoro believes that OBJ's copy from which he used in his work known as 'Nzeogwu' was a revised version and not the original he had read completely as he disagreed with certain claims from OBJ's quotes.

All subsequent Head of States---- probably through the same way as Obasanjo.

Odia Ofeimun---- got it from Obafemi Awolowo when he was his personal secretary.

These are the persons that I believe had access to it. Although, it appears that there might be two different manuscripts- the first being the one he wrote in Ghana and handed to J.P Clark as they flew back to Lagos shortly before he was arrested by Ironsi and another he wrote while he was in Biafra which might have been revised to polish it into something more presentable/soothing. Whichever it is, it was reported that Nzeogwu referred to it as lies chiefly because Ironsi was marked out to be killed which he listed out in his radio broadcast in Kaduna.
After all I've read, I have my conclusions about the content of the manuscript. Most people who have reviewed it have noted that it didn't really differ from the reports of other participants in the coup who wrote books. The person they wanted to handover power to was Awolowo.

No matter how unpalatable that manuscript is, the fact that Achebe in his ever quest to demean Nigeria saw it as being too toxic to publish shows there was a lot of deep bitter truths in it.


For whatever it's worth, that manuscript needs to be published so that we can all judge who the man ifeanjuna is and why he did what he did.

Killerofpigs:

Just imagine a YORUBA calling IGBOs liars. 9th wonder of the World.

No truth can come out of the mouth of an Ibo man .

The FG can not do it all.

It's down to each respective state government to pass stringent regulatory laws governing the retailing, distribution and whare housing of pharmaceutical products.

The Anambra state House of Assembly has just shown the world that they stand with these counterfeiters just as Obi did when news of NAFDAC's raid on the market in Onitsha broke out .


Both Obi and the entire members of the Anambra state House of Assembly have chosen the side of the fake drug merchants .

I say no problem.

If Anambra state and Peter Obi are so sympathetic to the financial success of their fake drug merchants at the notorious drug market , it's only fair that Anambra and Obi benefit from whatever they see is right about fake , adulterated , expired and unwholesome products and drugs.

The rest of Nigeria should however pass stringent laws banning any drugs coming into their respective States from Anambra and the SE in general. Not only drugs but any consumable product should not be allowed into the rest of Nigeria if it's coming out of the SE .

Since you prefer trade , Nigerians should give you a real trade war.

Angelfrost:
Sigh... If they sue you to court and the judge demands that you clearly provide evidence of this damning statement, will you be up to it?!!

Can you even afford a lawyer?!!

This is exactly what cheap Internet and idleness result to.

Sharap.

Ifeanjuna planned a coup to instal Awo as President

This is their latest recycled lie that IBB's lie filled book has given a new lease of life.


Ask them why Chinue Achebe refused to publish Ifeanjuna's manuscript on why and what motivated him to carry out that dastardly act of treason, they will be yarning dust . If Ifeanjuna truly wanted Awo to emerge as the HoS won't it be written in his manuscript ? And if it was contained in it, won't Achebe - who was working directly as a war time propagandist for the Biafran side, use such information to cause rifts in the Gowon junta which had Awo as the second most senior individual ?

Achebe spent the rest of his ever lying ass after the war trying to spin the Ibo victimhood . Why did Achebe not publish the ifeanjuna manuscript he was entrusted with by ifeanjuna if it contained information to dispel the Ibo coup conspiracy ?


Well, what I do know is that the Awo lie was an after thought spun by Ikoku who met with Awo after his release from Prison and told Awo that he had discussed with ifeanjuna when he was in exile in Ghana and ifeanjuna had told him that the coup was carried out to instal Awo as President. This of course were all lies towards getting the released Awo to side with the Biafran cause and not with the north.

Well, it's not today such bare faced lies from these people have been churned out.


Remember , they said Simon Ekpa was working specifically for Tinubu to destabilise the SE .

What I do know is that an irresponsible people will never take responsibility for their actions .
