BafanaBafana: So you are saying Igbo boys planned and executed a very bloody coup so they can install a Yoruba man as president? Is that how you guys worship Yoruba people?
Ideologies ruled the mental acuity of those soldiers, not tribalism. Go figure.
flokii: Watch how they'll rain insults on Reno for speaking the gospel truth.
For Gowon to release Awolowo immediately he took power shows the North knew the injustice the likes of Azikiwe did before the Zik + Balewa romance went sour. Imagine levelling allegations of coup plot against an innocent man just to incarcerate him, only to come back with lies that the people who plotted against him planned coup to free him. C'mon even an infant still sucking the mother's breast won't buy such falsehood.
Reno is simply pressing your mumu button. Have you forgotten how he said that Yoruba was named by the Fulani? Implying that Yorubas are slaves of the Fulanis.
DEROX: I swear to Allah if I was awolowo a lot of things will have been referred to as "once existed" because I will do the extreme not even a fly will remain but the man Bleep up, now see noise pollution and k legs everywhere
20 Awos, wouldn't have extinguished any tribe. How would you have killed those in Gabon, Eq Guinea, Zambia, USA, UK?
Ko possible. Even Hitler wey do pass that one, still no succeed after 6m Jews kpaid.
Make peace with the fact that Awon Omo Ibos can never be extinguished. They are here forever.
Your children and great grand children go see them. While you rot in the grave, with your skull probably stolen from the grave and kept in one babalawo's hut.
TheChameleon: He knows they are notoriously unintelligent and easily manipulated, very quick to lick butt0cks. . Reno, Wike and even FFK easily made them lick their ars3s
And he's very right. Same IBB who killed plenty Ibos in Biafra is the same you are queueing to suck off
You no talk about T0to and prick today. My cure dey do wonders. I congratulate you verily.
Now to the matter, using fake smileys to deceive yourself no go change facts. IBB has nothing to lose. He is a dying man who has written his book for posterity sake.
He made it clear that the first coup we Yorubas erroneously call 'Ibo coup' was actually an 'An Awolowo coup' and the coup was dissipated by Ibo officers. The Awolowo coup also took the the life of Ibo officers like Col. Unegbe whom we Yorubas love to not mention.
The Awolowo coup (previously called Ibo coup) also had Yoruba officers who were main actors like Maj. Ademoyega, Fola Oyewole, Ganiyu Adeleke etc. Facts that our Yoruba writers at Champion newspapers (now moribund), the Nation newspaper, and PM news always like to downplay..
My brother, you have to die with these facts, so you can die in peace.
Let Gowon write his own. May God keep him and his pen alive.
PDPdestroyer: As it stands now, IBB can do no wrong as far as Igbos are concerned. Just watch from now on how they will call for your head if anyone dare say anything negative about him. What a people
Just the way we Yorubas are now hailing Abacha and taking sides with his family. A man we hated with scorn and destroyed his name with our propaganda. Who is fooling who?
YoruBads: The man said clearly that the coup was not an Igbo coup.
That's why Yorubads don't quote his book concerning the issue of the coup
If Maj. Ademoyega never wrote a book. I swear our Yoruba writers would have removed his name from the list of coup plotters and list only the Ibo officers. E sure die.
That his book hook our revisionist Yoruba writers for throat.
I am sure they hate him for writing that book. I read the book in year 1999. Dad had the original copy.
Truthcat: Two things Babangida tried to do is, get ibos to praise him to high heavens and have him as a look-upon for political directives for 2027. The Abiola part is to make a few gullible Yoruba say, "look Babangida is telling the truth" when there has never been a dead or living person who thought Abiola didn't win the election.
I've not seen what Babangida said in his book and I don't really care, I don't expect truth from certain people. If Babangida is now telling us what was never in doubt about the election of 1993, but refused tell us what we want to know about why he annulled the elections, and then added that the infamous ibos coup is no longer so, means he's attention starved and wants to be praised by the usual culprits and stick it to president Tinubu who is their mutual enemy.
Babangida has really said nothing. We know Abiola won the 1993 election and that he annulled it with the help of the ibos. The 1966 coup is an IBO COUP and Babangida knows that, but he wanted to get praises and die as ibos hero , so he gave them what they needed
If he wanted the praises of the Ibos, to what end?
Is he looking to contest presidency?
I thought we all agreed that the Yorubas are more important than the Ibos in Nigeria. Wouldn't it make more sense if he was seeking the praises of we Yorubas than the Ibos?
So the Abachas is now the hero of we Yorubas. Even Prof. Odinkalu the Orsu-born professor that you hated and insulted in favour of Wike is now a source of references for you.
We Yorubas must do better. The hypocrisy is stinking..
Arise TV OAP, Rufai Oseni on Saturday clashed with security officers in Lagos.
An angry Rufai came down from his Jeep to confront the Officers, called them b@stards and threatened to call Gov Babajide Sanwo-Olu to report the officers.
seunmsg: North needs alliance with South South to grab power and not to save Nigeria. Atiku and El-Rufai are northern supremacists who simply want to perpetuate northern Muslim rule over Nigeria. They really must think southerners are fools.
Something tells me that if Ademoyega had not written about his involvement in the coup, many Yoruba revisionist writers would have craftily removed his name from the list of coup plotters, just the way they removed the name of Lt . Col. Unegbe from the list of those killed in the said 'Ibo coup'. We Yoruba should always embrace the truth..
TUANKU: You are a child fiddler. Medical scientist indeed, you are one of the manufacturers of these fake medications and you are just pained that the government is ruining things for you. Ekuke!
epainos: The real victims of Nigeria are the Igbos, but they always think they can do "gra gra" to handle everything. I am just smiling here. And the Yoruba people will keep outsmarting them.
Ojukwu was the first person to say that the 1966 coup was meant to install Awolowo as the leader. Lol. And stylishly IBB talked about that area in his book. The thing is that Igbos picked that part, and boom! People have been debating that there is or no Igbo coup. Well, I am not here to argue that, but what I know is that IBB is the main person that weakened the Igbo nation finally, yet, they think he is doing them a favor now. Lol.
The issue now is that Atiku and El-Rufai will pick this up against Tinubu, and hopefully, they will try to romance Obi to join them. The fact is that no matter what they tell Igbo, they will still ask them to be the vice president..lol.
Another view of this issue is that Abacha has been made the scapegoat of all the attrocities committed during IBB's time. That June 12 is the real bone of contention that everyone is talking about, but because it involved a Yoruba man, Igbos are not ready even go down the main issue. Do I blame them? Nope.
Hmmmm. Nigeria is finished. If you have been following my posts, you should by now know that I have been predicting the fall of Nigeria. It is so clear that Igbo and Yoruba cannot coexist in unity in the same nation. For sure, both will not go to war, but they cannot unite. Even Biafra war was more of Igbo Vs the north. Of course, the Yoruba people will always find a way to avoid debating Igbos, but they will act at the right time. This is the reason Igbos keep saying Yorubas are betrayals. Lol. No be to dey beat chests everytime. Therefore, I can beat my chest to say that Yoruba and Igbo cannot get violent with each other. It is not possible.
I foresee IBB creating both an opportunity and a disaster for the north before 2027. And the Tinubu I know will explore the opportunities. Let's see what will happen. Likewise Atiku and ElRufai will explore the opportunities too.
One area everyone agrees is that Abacha is an evil man who has a bad legacy. His son is living in delusion saying history will vindicate his father. History is already messing up the Abacha family. That family is cursed. And to add salt to the injury, IBB has decided to put the whole blame on him even while he is trying to rest in his grave. Can Abacha ever find rest? I doubt it.
Your epistle flies in the face of common sense.
Anyday the north decides that a Scion of Abacha will this country, it will happen. And they will do it without permission from the SW. All they need is just one region from the South.
If we in SW maintained our honour and rinsisted that no General who has ever ruled as military president should be voted as Civilian president. Buhari would never had become president. The rot got to a crescendo with Buhari sailing the wheel of this country.
