Armed Robbery - pioneered by Dr Oyenusi and perfected by Shina Rambo who went cross-border

Drug trafficking - pioneered by the likes of "Eleganza" and most fuji singers before we even knew what cocaine was

Cannibalism - your traditions require that the flesh of newly dead obas be shared by the chiefs. I will soon be back with the links

Filth - hmmmmm. Let's not even start

Benched lampard. Played Mata Oscar Hazard behind him yet the DUD cant still hit water if thrown off a boat

Shebi dem say na publicity stunt

Iveanyi: Apologies for not replying earlier. I was without internet access for a while. By your question, I take it you're insinuating that the real cause of the war was the Jan 1966 coup. That is very debatable and I personally doubt it. The simple reason being that if at all the events of Jan 14 & 15 1966 was a source of any grieviance, those grieviances were settled or appeased by the counter coup of July 1966 and could not have gone on to still be the cause of a civil war one year later. As in, that coup could not have been the reason Nigeria decided to annex Biafra.

Simplistic as it may seem, that's my opinion. If you want to trace the origins of the war further back to January '66, you might as well not stop there. Why not go further to the ineptitude that existed before then in the polity? At least that was what gave rise to the coup in the first place. Why not trace it back to the "Wetie" days? That was a milestone achievement in Nigerias political instability? Why not trace it back to the colonial masters? At least they gave us the unworkable arrangement we inherited and called a nation. Why even stop there? We might as well trace even further back to our forefathers that gave in to the "white mans ways" rather that build up a civilization of their own, thus paving the way for colonialism. By the time we keep going back we'll probably get to the serpent that tempted Eve as the "real cause" of the war.

When you speak of justification for killing other regional leaders, it's more difficult for me to reply. And the primary reason for this is the fact that every Nigerian (speaking broadly) interpretes political issues first of all from a tribal standpoint before a logical one if any. There are varying schools of thought on why that coup was plotted. At the end of the day, it boils down to what makes the most sense to you. I read a book some years ago titled "Why We Struck - The story of the first Nigerian coup" by Adewale Ademoyega. That book gave me the most insight into this topic. I say this because apart from the fact that the writer was one of the "Five Majors" who plotted that coup, he was also a Yoruba man. This aroused my curiosity giving that all the writers I had read on the issue prior to that had been Igbo, save for one foreigner. If you can get this book, it would make a fantastic read.

Granted, it is hard to explain the events of Jan' 66 as coincidence giving our tribal inclinations. For example the angle that Ironsi was marked for death, but that after leaving a party, he didn't go home straight and that detour saved his life. Or that the coup was delayed in the East because of the presence of the Cyprian Head of State (Or some other diplomat I can't remember) in Enugu. However, people often overlook the fact that Colonel Chris Unegbe and Festus Okotie-Eboh who was minister of Finance at the time were killed and were both Igbo. Also, that two principal actors who foiled the coup were Ironsi in the south who was the highest ranking military officer and rallied loyal soldiers to thwart the effectiveness of the coup (the coup actually failed in Lagos)and Odumegwu Ojukwu in the North who did not surrender the armoury in Kano to Nzeogwu, thereby putting to rest any hopes Nzeogwu may have had of marching down south to confront Ironsi. Both were Igbo.

One may choose to believe or not. But the truth is that many who have written on this issue, have continually stated that Jan '66 was not driven by tribalism. I am yet to read anyone who has challenged this position either in an official interview or in a published book. On the contrary, Jul '66 has never - to the best of my knowledge - been explained from any ideological standpoint. And it's motive to wipe out Igbos for no 'just cause' has never been denied. It is even alleged and I repeat "alleged" that the Northern soldiers who carried out Jul' 66 were aware that Nzeogwu and co. were not tribally motivated however, there was a need to placate their Kinsmen who saw it as such.

Today we're astonished at events at Allu were students were gruesomelly murdered. But such events as Jul' 66 were the beginning of institutinalized jungle justice in Nigeria. People praised then. Today, the same people wonder. Events surrounding the war should be taught in schools as History. People should bring out facts if they have. Others who disagree should contest and not insult. The purpose of history is to learn and move forward. Part of the reason why Civil war issues in this country generate so much bile is the secrecy it has been shrouded in. All over the world, war is a topic of History. But not in my country.

I see a lot of Ignorance in this response.

1. When did Festus Okotie -Eboh become a Iboman?

The pogroms in the North were the direct reason Ojuku gave for secedding with Biafra and what caused the pogroms in 1966? Was it not in retaliation to the killing of the Sardauna?

And like every Igbo man you have managed to convince yourself that of 4 Premiers in Nigeria. 2 were Ibos 2 non Ibos. They killed the 2 non Ibos but miraculously Osadebey and Okpara escaped?

Of the 2 executive leaders They killed the non Ibo Prime Minister but the Ibo President escaped the acting President Nwafor orizu who was Ibo escaped

Of the numerous Ibos in the cabinet like Jaja Wachukwu(In the world of coincidence submitted a resignation letter 12hrs to the coup LOL) and co escaped but non Ibos like Okotie-Eboh were killed

Like I told someone, the problem with Ibos is that they think they are smart and others are stupidd

debosky: More worrying though, is that clubs like Fulham and Everton the Spuds have scored more goals than us.

What happened to the razor sharp attack of Po[size=14pt]DUD[/size]ski, Giroud, Gervinho and Cazorla

Roland17: Dayo remove the lid in your eyes first abeg, in a league with only 18 teams, shame suppose dey catch u.

Shame suppose dey catch me say team from 18 team league came to Emirates and molested you?

FYI Schalke havent won the 18 team league in over 50years and they came to Emirate to r@ppe you without condoms

Not when we are still top of our league and 4 point clear of the next team.

The people complaining are not even top 4 in their league

Edo.girl,

May you live long

patimore: Isnt Dan Inwuanyawu, the Chairman of LP, the Pro Chancellor of Adekunle Ajasin University in Ondo State? there is no fuss about being a Pro chancellor cos he has nothing much to do.
most university students in Nigeria are sometimes unaware of who their pro chancellor is. It is an inconsequential position

Thank you oo

Why isnt anyone complaining of the Labour Party Chairman being the Chancellor of Ajasin Univeristy in AKungba

WHy is it that Tinbu is the one being attacked

Nobody would stop Igbos from leaving as long as they dont take whats not their along

And incase you dont know Igbos are the scum of the earth the worst specie of human

Onlytruth: @Ifyalways,

I don't know why you are determined to sully and pollute this exercise with your constant ad hominems on my person and my supporters, and in so doing annoying our brothers and sisters and wanting to pick a fight with anyone with time to waste. Since when did you even become a Nairaland troll for heaven's sake? I can no longer distinguish between you and that lout called dayokanu? Keduzi mgbe ara nke a bidoro?

Nne i na eme ihere na eme umu igbo ebe a. I chere na o bu so gi ma awi ara? I chere na amaghi m otu esi agwo ndi ara? O bu di soso gi bu nwanyi Igbo no n'ebe a, ka ichere na ha amaghi ekwu okwu? Kwusi ihe nile ndi a i na eme ugbua na oburu na i choro udo na oganiru Ndigbo ebe a. Kwusi ya kita!

Umunne m, onye obula mara na o choro udo na oganiru ndigbo gwa nwanne anyi nwanyi a okwu maka na o na akpasu umunne anyi iwe n'ebe a.

My only regret is that you are destroying a very carefully organized and executed transition process by constantly attacking and taking side snipes at me and my supporters.

My other name is Ifyalways are you happy now Anumpam?

alj harem: So it what honorary gesture has Tinubu done to be given such prestige ?

IT IS FOR POWER AND FINANCIAL GAIN NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS

Tinubu is the biggest and most influential politician in the SouthWest

And what is the financial gain does a Chancellor get from a University

WHile I was in University The Etsu Nupe Omar Sanda Ndayako was our Chancellor and does not have any benefit except attending the yearly convocation ceremony

Because Igbos are not even destroying everywhere they go

They bring all manner of crime never known before to their host. Kidnapping, armed robbery, drug trafficking, filthiness, and even Cannibalism

Everyone wants Igbos to go back to the caves they came from

Well done ACN

Both Aregbesola and Chukwumerije have the same beard?

Only a fool would think there is any material gain to being Chancellor of a University.

Its more of a honorary position

Chancellors are usually Traditional rulers or Politicians

In recognition of Asiwaju Tinubu

Kudos to the ACN govt

4unme: The fact is that ACN in Oyo state is not all that better than PDP, just that Ibadan people does not love Akala and thats why ACN won that 2011 election by outrigging PDP. When you remove Akala from oyo PDP, they are better than ACN which is a party of liars, propagandists, godfathers.......well, i know many people may not believe this but time will surely tell.

After you remove Akala where is Adedibu from? Where is that murderer teslim Folarin from? What of Tokyo and ELewe omo, what of Taofeek Arapaja
