Why would Ironsi and Ojukwu be fighting to put down a coup they had prior knowledge of and supported? Does that make any sense?

Ironsi's decree only unified the structure of the civil service, it did not tamper with true federalism. If anyone tampered with true federalism, it was Gowon and his stupid state creation

Thescienceprof:


You may be right, but that branch is formerly Intercontinental bank.
So, one might say all former intercontinental and diamond bank branches are the ones taking the heat

gidgiddy:


Cure your ignorance with these facts

Fact 1: Ironsi was not part of the first coup, he put down the coup. Who would foil a coup they are part of?

Fact 2: You said that Ironsi coerced the remnants of the Balewa Regime to hand over power to him? If that is true then it is to Ironsi's credit. All those who came after Ironsi shot, killed, arrested, detained and tortured anyone who stood between them and power. They did not waste time trying to coerce anybody.

Fact 3: Decree 34 did not do anything to Nigeria. That decree recognized the 4 Regions, their right to exist and control their resources and maintained the revenue sharing formular and fiscal independence agreed at independence. Contrast that to Gowons decree 14 a year later. Gowons decree 14 abolished all for regions, replaced them with 12 states, took away resource control, abolished the revenue sharing formular agreed at independence and reversed the fiscal policy. Decree 34 was never the problem, the problem was that Ironsi was Igbo. All those who said that decree 34 was demonic were they same people who a year later, cheered Gowons decree 14 that was a thousand times worse that Ironsi's decree 34. Total hypocrisy

Fact 4: Some people say that Ironsi did not punish the coup plotters within the 6 months he was in power. Gowon did not punish them either in the one year he was in power before the war started. But nobody talk about Gowon because he is a Northerner, they talk about Ironsi because he is Igbo

It is clear that Ironsi's only crime was being Igbo

oga, listen to yourself na, u saw just one and u are saying his conclusion is not true!

Plenty noise, no substance.

Ewedu creature and their lack of intelligence. Always emotional and crying when hammered with the truth.

The morons claim Ironsi was part of coup, show us the history journal or article that listed Ironsi as a member of coup plotters, yoruba numbskull are showing us their dirty Alaroye newspaper that is only worthy of wrapping akara balls.

Bumbling and demented illiterates with good for nothing skulls. No wonder most yoruba skulls are destined to end up inside calabash in a ritual shrine located in ogun. Oyo or osun.

omonnakoda:

But you wail that even from opposition they are powerful enough to block seaports and airport's in your region?.

Neonates who run the Nigerian economy ? Control the financial sector,insurance, press, manufacturing,, Major group of engineers in oil and gas industry ? See how much wailing it took to get 2nd Niger bridge?
Any rail projects ?
The largest single power plant in Nigeria was built I Egbin when Ekwueme was VP.
WHAT did you get?

Tobrasky:

Yes ooo my yorugbanti broda from another mother - ko di dafun gbogbo awon Igbo.
We should have exterminated all of them in that war, especially in consideration for what they did to us in Ore, Okitipupa and parts of Ondo where they raped lots of our beautiful sisters and mothers, and killed quite a lot of people.
Those bastard Yeebos wasted lots of our boys in that botched River Niger crossing, our Aboki masters under Murtala gave the command from the rear, and sent us to our deaths in thousands.
Baba wa Awolowo (may his soul RIP, sad he took sniper and ended his life the way he did) should have done more in starving those Yeebos to death... he was too merciful Olorun Oba.
After the war, we "accommodated" the ungrateful Yeebos back into our fold, gave them their abandoned properties back and a new lease of life... afterall we are known to be suffersticated oops... I meant sophisticated accommodators right? but how did those Yeebos return the favor back? they turned round to spite us. They bought up large swaths of our properties and market economies... today awon eleribu Yeebos have now colonized large real estates all over Lagos.
My father even sold his bungalow that he built with his shares investment and savings to one werey omo Igbo, now all the tenants in that house are paying rent to that flat headed "Shukwudi" on our own land ooo for that matter! rara ooo, we must kill them all
They sleep with our young girls who patronize their businesses all over Alaba, Ladipo, Computer village, FESTAC etc I lost my big nyansh girl friend Ronke to one Igbo boy like that, can you imagine?
We are now fighting each other over ordinary "buredi agege" and sachets of garri... Just like our elders sold Abiola to the Gambari. Yoruba ronu oooo! we need to unite and kill all these Yeebos, we see them in our sleeps. They hunt us anywhere we go. We can't even eat our Ikokore in peace, one Igbo flat head must appear in our soup sef, ha oti o! enough is enough
I agree that a good Igbo is a dead one, but currently even their dead have more value than our living. So what does that make us? imagine people who lost millions of lives and properties and were reduced to ground zero after the war, now dominating us in almost all charts of achievements? Imagine if we went through 1/10th of what they experienced, would we have rebounded as well as they did?
Egbon we need to soul-search ooo!
Fulani are "KWARAnizing" us all over Yorubaland, while Yeebos are selling our father's houses and using it to grow Akpu farms. Enough is enough!

But was just been interviewed this afternoon.

When is funeral ceremony for Nnamdi Kanu?

it's a mixture of both so that u won't suspect anything.

Gracchus:
Noted bro. Oodua a gbe WA oo

Gracchus:
I swear to God bro, I keep saying it, we have nothing to do with that tribe, all through our precolonial history, we had no contact whatsoever with them,and thanks to nature, we still share no borders with them in anyway. Everyone should face his region abeg. These guys meddle too much in our affairs, in fact, on twitter, there was a guy who threatened a "prospective pdp governorship candidate" in Lagos state for 2023 elections , Mr Babatunde Gbadamosi, that because he insulted Igbos, he will make sure he doesn't get the pdp ticket, can you just imagine that nauseating and disgusting statement?? Someone from a tribe 500 kilometers away from, whom we have nothing in common with threatening an indigine of a state?? Just imagine!!!! I no blame them, na pdp wey dry do like mumu and pacify them in there desperation to rule Lagos. Just see how we do not even meddle in their useless and boring elections, elections that you already know who would win, while they put their putrid orifices in our own elections, na dem carry Fayose for head, na dem criticize aregebsola pass, now na dem dey hail Makinde, meanwhile these our governors do not even give a damn about them. I do truly hope Nigeria divides quickly, at least dey gon face their side while we face ours too...

SonOfEl:


you hear only the version of the northerners and then conclude that it was true that he just seized power? You are simply naive.

Go and read the book titled "12 years of military rule" published by daily times

PicLtd:


Which historian told you that Ironsi was a coup plotter? Yoruba-published Alaroye newspapers?

Mr Suburudeen, you are yoruba muslim mongrel, you are not expected to be intelligent, you are simply expected to exist and impregnate little girls in Arabic 'ile kewu' schools.

Stay out of political discourses that are way above your brain grade.

GamalNasser:
Hmmm just yesterday I was saying to a friend that I suspect they will close a diamond bank in my estate and I was right , looks they are closing diamond bank branches in areas where they already had Access branches , Methinks Herbert Wigwe is just using COVID crunch as an excuse to ditch Diamond bank staff he inherited in the acquisition

Yanmiriflathead:


Northerners are oblivious of the fact that their lands are gradually being recolonized by these people. The more you sell out your lands, the more they try to dominate you. See Lagos na, yorubas can't make pim... The real landlords will evacuate them. Its only a matter of time before kano becomes no man's land too

martineverest:
I just watch fellow Lagosians laughing at Kano State as if lagos state is safer

have anyone wondered about potential coronavirus spreading centres like Idumota-akpongbon-balongun,Alaba international,Oshodi,Ladipo,Kontogora,Yaba,oyingbo,ìyànà Ipaja etc markets.....just imagine asymptomatic victims sneezing in those overcrowded markets

Chai, which igbo man stole your wife?

When Southern Nigeria comes, people like you will be sent to camps for re-education.

Southern Nigeria is loading whether you like it or not...

my brother

nograv:


Bros I agree my ideological position is very different from the others and often takes others a while to realise what I am saying.

In short I am nationalist for Southern Nigeria..

Igbo animosity to Yoruba is as much as a problem as Yoruba animosity to Igbos. But our rivalry isnt murderous, it is more like sibling rivalry.

Shalom

Tmb78:
Hi.You might not know this but you have managed to make the igbos come out as saints smelling like roses from your write up,just like you always do.

I personally don't like the idea of revisiting the past.
I'm of the opinion that the past should be kept where it belongs and work together for the betterment of Nigeria tomorrow.
Having said that,I feel you are just been one sided here maybe because you favor your Igbo side more,I wouldn't know.
Let's put the blame where it's supposed to be.
Both Igbo and Yoruba must share the blame of siding with the enemy called Fulani/Hausa at one time or the other.
You can't in all honesty point out that of the Yoruba and maliciously sweep that of the Igbo under the carpet.
You igbos are quick to shout Fulani slaves when addressing the yorubas BUT the truth of the matter is you have no moral justification for that because you too are slaves to them,so to speak,going by the last election and before the war.
You could have overwhelmingly rallied round another candidate who is non- Fulani during the last election
Hell,your son ,Moghalu with very good pedigree was a candidate. No,you had to follow Atiku,a fulani cos of v.p slot for peter obi.
Let's leave the above for now
Your last statement too shows you are biased
Is it only the yorubas who do that?
What about your Igbo brothers who are always blaming their Yoruba neighbours while Fulani keeps raping their women and killing their children in the East?
Or is the operation of these evil creatures limited to the southwest?
I have never seen the igbos here on nairaland blame the Fulani/ hausa or write derogatory words about them like they do the yorubas who,to the best of my knowledge, have given them conducive environment to do their businesses and go about their lives without any problem in southwest.unlike the hostile situations they always face in the north.
And I don't see you telling them yorubas aren't their problem but Fulani like you always like to point out to the yorubas
See,you can't tell me you never noticed all I have written up there even here on nairaland
Of course,I will be a big hypocrite if I say the yorubas too don't insult or disparage the igbos too here.
BOTH are to be blamed
Pls,if you are going to go with your half Igbo half Yoruba thingy you always claim,then do it without any bias


Though, when I read your posts at times,I always wondered if your Yoruba family know how you REALLY feel about them.

Shalom!
Stay safe!

Tmb78:
Hahaaha!
You have been BURSTEd.

You have no decent rebuttals so you just spout nonsense

Sharrap!!

To my smart Igbo and Yoruba lets work together to end Northern Hegemony once and for all..
