You extremely pitiful man!!!! How f2king clueless do you think a person have to be that they forget setting they read FEW MINUTE AGO.

Your only holy grail is that I stupidly forgot to screenshot those your posts the first time I read them. I completely fprgot hoe pitoful you yolobas are. You are extremely shameless

I challenge you to produce that post or comment in which I used "They" and later edited it to "We". Bloody liar. You are confusing me for someone else. Why will I be afraid of a useless Igbo boy and deny my whole people? Why? If you can't produce that post then you will be known here as a bloody liar, and I will forever haunt you with that lie henceforth till you exhume that thread. Southeast claiming Bendel. It would have even been smarter for you to claim other SS states than Edo/Delta. Cursed and shameless Land grabber seeking to be associated with Edo groups. Go back to where birth put you in your IPOB land of Southbeasts.

This fool CONTINOUSLY give himself away.

All SE governor disassociate themselves from IPOB, going by your stupid logic, each SE state must not be Igboland.
You just keep stupidly giving yourself away without even trying. Such a shane.

Incase you foolish ass isn't aware, outside of onitsha and abia, the third largest IPOB with highest number of members is in Asaba. My cousin is actually one of the leaders. Outside of Abia and Onitsha, the other area who held the highest protest is Anioma land

Go and learn about the areas of place you pitifully wish you are from.

Oh it must hurt you to get a direct quote from an Asaba about that your miserable southwaaste people you are from and ashamed to claim. Yoloba coward. Come take my Asaba heritage from me

It is now u're talking. You are beginning to confess the obvious which is that you are an IPOB youth and not a Bendelite. I said it earlier that you can't really be a Bendelite. Now you are gradually coming out. More of that please. If Aniomas support IPOB the way you painted it then how come Okowa and the Anioma spokesman joined the rest of the SS in recently dissociating themselves from IPOB on rising from an all Southern minorities meeting? I guess Okowa is now a Yoruba man. Silly logic in a silly head.

onenaira4:
This fool CONTINOUSLY give himself away. There are Igala villages in both Anambra and Enugu state now does that remove either state as Igbo? No. Maybe only foolish self isn't aware in every region in that country, there are multiple minorities among each majorities you slowpoke including that your southwaaste that you ashamed to claim.

The reason I want to quote the OBI, Dein and Asagba because they are the KINGS of each predominate lands of Anioma. Why should I (commoner) speak when the royalty of the lands can do so themselvea. Now you crying like a little Biatch because of THE KINGS OF MY LAND are ready mop the BS you learnt in your village in Southwest and thought as fact!

Last i checked your statement wasn't about Ebu but about my Asaba and Anioma claim. Well the kings are ready to speak just say when....now go cry me more River

Now back to my post. SLS statement about yoloba is a BONAFIDE, UNDILUTED FACT. And so what if he never replicated what he said since he joined APC. Did he recant what he said since he joined APC? Does joining APC remove the FACT he stated about your people? Did he ever deny writing it since he joined APC? Only in your rat infested brain you think joining APC now changes his opinion. Dumb dum.

Your lies exposed again: where exactly did I say SLS has joined APC? When did SLS register as an APC member? So refraining from anti-Yotuba tirade now automatically makes him an APC member? Do you have comprehension difficulty? Did SLS really ever have that opinion sincerely? Or you were unaware of the circumstances under which he said so? Your likes hailed SLS a fearless truth speaker when he vomited that trash but called him a blatant liar when he accused GEJ of unaccounted $20bn revenue. You see your inconsistency? To your likes truth and falsehood is determined by momentary circumstances and political convenience. A liar like SLS is a liar any day. He accused GEJ of impoverishing Nigerians by mismanaging $20bn yet the same SLS made Nigerians lose more than $40bn through his nationalisation of PHB, Afribank and Spring Bank before the recapitalization deadline set by himself. And an Uselu Psychiatric Hospital bound IPOB youth is here according that SLS accolades of truthfulness. What a shame. Any wonder why Igbos are their own problems?

Did I say the presence of Ebu in Delta makes Delta state an Igala state? Are you on drugs? why is this your comprehension difficulty so pronounced?

When people talk of guilt of introduction of an evil chronology becomes the deciding factor. Zik pulled out of NYM in 1938 out of envy over an Ijaw man's victory. Tell us what tribal action Awo was guilty of before 1938 and I'll believe that Awo started it. Zik was did his first tribal act at the age of 33 while Awo did his first at age 45. So who introduced it then? I know you can't honestly answer this.
Some of us SS were not caught in the web of your ill-motivated support for GEJ even though it temporarily drew some acrimony to the background.
Go back to your erosion ravaged Biafra land which is smaller than just two states in the SS which you are trying to grab. Hausa-Fulani slaves of the NPC-NCNC coalition, and also the slave partners of the NPN-NPP coalition.
Let me give you a test to disprove your Bendelite claim: Can you explain why Bendel including Anioma opted for UPN led by Awolowo in the second Republic and Rejected the Zik-Shagari NPN-NPP coalition.

The ever willing Hausa-Fulani slave wives who cry marginalization whenever their slave masters rape them and flog their arses to redness. Hausa dey call una again. Make una go join them. Blind one Nigerianists. When everyone saw it clearly that Nigeria was not one and could never be, these fraudulent apes kept chanting one Nigeria trying to fool others. Why one Naija con dey vex una now like winsh? E don tire una? Useless IPOB youth faking Bendel here. Ape!

@One naira or one Zimbabwean Dollar, given your warped and preposterous logic that it takes only Yorubas to bash Igbos, a Yoruba man can actually fool you into believing he is Igbo or SS if he decides to pretentiously bash his own Yoruba tribe. You will obviously fall for that trick given your state of mind. I will later create another identity here to bash Yorubas so that you will believe I am an IPOB youth like your miserable self, and then I'll later change that moniker to Deadlytruth 2 or so to expose how foolish your theory is. I will do it So that you will unlearn your asinine mentality that only Yorubas bash Igbos for putting Nigeria in this mess.

onenaira4:
He's continously CONTINOUSLY giving himself away.

Infact, I won't argue this. I'll let the Asagba do so himself.





Next time Learn about the people in the state you shamelessly attaching to and not based on shot you hear on your south waaste.

Do you need obi of ogwushi-uku, obi of idumuje unor, obi of owa, etc stated as well cause I have them all.

He I can equally give you a direct quote from Dien of Agbor as well before he's half Bini son took over and rewrote his father's statement.

I repeat again.. you are PATHETIC!!!!!

This pathetic, frustrated and deranged IPOB youth keeps quoting people without using his own sense of logic to sieve those claims. If I joined NL and Dec 2015 and you prosecuted a thread in Feb. 2016 does that automatically make me a contributor in it even though my moniker never showed on it? Why not exhume the thread and see if I commented on it? Typical Igbo mentality. I repeat SLS vomited trash in his article and carpeted Igbos as well. But he used the title to fool IPOB youths like you.
He has never repeated his anti-Yoruba tirade since the North abandoned Igbo in PDP for a North SW coalition in APC that returned power to his born to rule brothers yet an erratic IPOB youth claiming Anioma is fooling himself drawing veracity from a political article crafted by SLS who fraudulently nationalized three banks - one of which an Anioma man had controlling interest. You can't be Anioma.
Your listing of Obis as heads of Anioma settlements does not cut your false arguement as there is a village called Ebu in the extreme North of Delta State whose people are Igala migrants and are not headed by an Obi. Do you know of this Ebu village? Never! Yet you claim Anioma. Cursed land grabber. Many other non "Igboid" villages are found in Anioma land. And your linking of an Anioma traditional ruler with Benin contradicts your earlier position as that would really give credence to the acculturation theory. So please go back to Biafra land you frustrated land grabbing IPOB youth.

onenaira4:
The fact this fool believes igbo is only found in SE is the biggest GIVE AWAY known to men especially if he claims to be from delta

Dude, everyone and their mother knownl on NL that I'm from Asaba. I've never denied it nor have I ever changed it unlike you I'm not ashamed of where the heck I am from. I proud of my heritage and I can bash whoever I want without cowardly using another group for shield LIKE YOU DO.

Secondly, this thread alone already proved the false accusation you gave. SLS gave an accurate description of yoloba which are FACT backed up by other authors as well and what did you say it was, that's right deny it and blame it on "northern born to rule". No other group have done so since that post have been replicated on NL for years except drumroll...yoruba. mind you there are several Deltans and Edo on NL.

In addition, you equally claimed yoloba were remorseful to oppression to midwest which I know is not a verifiable fact as in I've actually fought una.

Lastly, throughout your entire past post you've been more involved with Igbo vs. Yoruba argument than anything else. Hell you even got involved in a thread specifically about Igbo vs. Yoruba. In my case, I'm classified as a delta igbo so it does not take a f2king genius to I'll get involved with igbo vs. Yoruba more than anything yet you, you claim you neither igbo or yoruba yet more involved in the same situation than actually talking about your wannabe tribe you shamelessly attaching too.

Tufiakwa!!!! As I said earlier, be proud a man and proud of your damn tribe. You extremely pathetic!!!!!!

You are an Igbo man and rather than accept it you are here hanging to Midwest through Anioma because that can give you a good shield of language mapping. There is little anything else discussed on Nairaland that really interests me other than the History of Nigeria. In fact I used to be a guest here but got inspired to join fully by Nigeria history posts alone. And these posts all revolve round WAZOBIA. So why would I really contribute elsewhere other than what attracted me in?
You are just a ranting Igbo man pained by the defeat in your ill-conceived Biafra War. I repeat no genuine Deltan cries more of bereavement than the bereaved Igbos themselves. Even Okowa, Delta Governor and Anioma, recently dissociated himself and people from Biafra. But you one Naira have never done so. So who are you therefore deceiving with claims of not being a Biafran and IPOB youth? You can't fool anyone here with your hiding behind one finger in claiming Midwest. You are not a Midwesterner. If you really are, then why have you never expressed resentment at Ojukwu's invasion of the Midwest, Ifeajuna's cold blooded Murder of Okotie -Eboh, Biafran army's attempt to murder David Ejoor, Ironsi's refusal to free Enahoro, etc? You forget that Enahoro was always with Awolowo in ideology and ordeal. You are a clever fool anyway.
Nobody from Asaba reasons like you. You have no heritage in the Midwest. Go back across the Niger and pursue your Biafra dream. Simple!

kaakulator3:
Looool your reta.rdation can't be fixed . You're close to being a lunatic

Someone said he's not Yoruba, why forcefully paste the tag on him

Give us snapshots that prove he's Yoruba or forever shut the fc.u.k up

Don't mind him. He is destitute for want of false Midwest identity. He is not even the Anioma you claim as an average Anioma person never accepts the Igbo tag. They rather argue that their Igboish being is as a result of acculturation by proximity to Igbos. Some even claim Benin Kingdom descent. It is there all over all Anioma websites. A Deltan who is pained by Yoruba or Igbo bashing can't be a genuine Deltan.

onenaira4:
Balewa did what coup? A yoruba was the first ever coupist in Nigeria history. This is a documented fact. What in his post was a lie? Was it a yoloba that brought tribalism in Nigeria politics like SLS stated? The answer is a BIG FACT YES and i can equally give you a direct quotation from a Midwestern author who equally stated the exact same thing.

What fucking lie did he make on that article of the?

And spare me the fucking lie about western acknowledging the oppression on Midwest. I was LITERALLY the individual who fought against the rewritten attempt by your people on NL to try and make it look like midwest was all happy under their rule in west. I was on this NL and fought several of your fucking people who tried to rewrite and claim it was awolowo that made mid west creation a possibility. So spare me that MF lie. Tell that BS to SE and not a midwestern3r that's been fighting una rewritten attempt on this NL.

If you were really coherent and asccurate in memory you would have seen it in my profile that I joined NL Dec 2015 and could not have participated in the discussion of Awo's creation of the Midwest or not. I know Midwest creation History more than you. It was Oba Akenzua's idea originally and Awolowo resisted it but only accepted it from jail in tokenism. However I also stubled on that thread here and found you trying to use insults to win the debate as typical of the Igbo man even though you claimed Aniioma throughout that thread. So my suspicion is confirmed that you are an Igbo man hanging onto Midwest through false Anioma claims.
And what is a coup in your dictionary? It is any unconstitutional means of taking over power by either military or civilian entities. Was Balewa's reinstatement of Akintola constitutional? That made it a coup. Simple. On tribalism: You obviousaly have not come across where Zik pulled out of NYM with Igbos in protest of the victory of Ikoli an ijaw man in 1938. You also have not read about Zik's boasting that one god of Igbos had destined them to lead others? All these were before any other tribe overtly made tribal slurs.

onenaira4:
Dumbass I didn't check your past post to see if you bashed yoloba. I checked your past post to see if you Are yoloba and your PAST POST proved YOU ARE UNDOUBTABLE YOLOBA.

Each and Every of your post in the beginning of this your ID was either about Igbo bashing and yoloba defensing. It does not take a genius to figure you out.

While I'm at it, ask around about me.....I am from Delta state, aka midwest. That area you pathetically using as your shield.

#spits on your face. Coward!!!!

You can't be from Delta at all because the way you speak gives you away. You are an Igbo man claiming Delta probably through hanging falsely on Anioma link. I bash Igbos more than Yorubas because they preached one Nigeria at a time all indicies pointed to the contrary, and removed federalism and replaced it with unitary system just when the Southern Minorities were about to start enjoying their own 75% derivation of crude oil discovered in their lands. And I don't attack anyone for bashing Yoruba. A SS person may bas Igbo or Yoruba but No true SS person picks up a quarel with anyone who chooses to bash either Yoruba or Igbo as they fell both are not reliable. And this is exactly why I say you are an Igbo man.
Is there any lie in the posts I created to bash Igbos? I can't pretend to love IGBOS just to create the impression that I am not Yoruba. If Igbos are that good, then why do Deltans like Urhobos, Isokos, itshekiris, Uvwies, Ijaws and even Aniomas resent the idea of being included in Biafra?
You are an Igbo man because an average Deltan man does not defend all Igbo actions the way you do. Even Ijaw guys here like Barcanista frequently is at logger heads with them. He too always makes it clear that Ijaws have no real beef with Yorubas and that does not make him a Yoruba pretending to be from the SS. So go back and review your sorry state of mind.

onenaira4:
Dude shut the f2k up and be proud of your yoloba tribe.
Wtf is wrong with you yoloba and pretending to be Every tribe in Nigeria.

If you going to deny being yoloba, MAKE sure YOUR PAST post does not REFLECT that you are yoloba.

You people are extremely pathetic.

And btw: the reason people refer to SLS article about yoruba is because everything he wrote on that article is 100% accurate

You are very sick indeed. You can look up my posts and comments and see where I bashed Yorubas for what we suffered under them in the former Western Region before we got our Midwestern Region which your conquisdator Ojukwu later invaded uninvited. Why will I fear Igbos or Yorubas to deny my tribe? You Igbos are beyond salvage. So you think only Yorubas see through your hypocrisy?
However when we the Midwestern/Bendel people point out how Yorubas oppressed us in the Old Western Region they don't try to justify it but just keep mute. At least that shows they are remorseful. But point out to Igbos how they oppressed the Eastern Minorities in the Eastern Region they would deny or defend it or even claim those accusing them are Yorubas or brainwashed by Hausas and Yorubas. Why are Igbos so unappologetic and arrogant? Yet they want the Eastern Minorities and even Delta in Biafra. Thank God they have left Edo out of the Biafra nonsense. But I will disappoint you by telling you that Delta and Edo are all Benin Kingdom peoples.

Which school did you attend? So you did not learn it in philosophy and logic that a lie mixed with truth makes the whole claim a lie? What he said there about Yorubass were pure lies based on bias. What was the truth in his claim that Yourubas did the first coup when it was actually his nbrother Balewa that did such? All the struggles he accuse Yorubas of were struggles ahgainst his brothers' born to rule mindset. So what was evil in all that?
Moreover SLS said those things while he was still serving a PDP government which was a coalition of Hausa and Igbo in foundation. But the moment Northerners left PDP to join Yorubas in formation of APC he never criticized Yorubas again till today. And that is your truth mentor?

Confused bigot, the earlier you stop lying to yourself and acknowledge the real situation on ground the better for your survival.

Freedom seekers seek freedom until it's achieved. They don't allow others define them to suit their interest and narratives, or permit the oppressors and abusers of human rights to teach them, the oppressed what human rights are.

Refer to the paper by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano, a Fulani, where he revealed some truths about your people: "YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA"?
http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/

The usual but incurable Igbo disease of assuming that whoever disapproves of their greed and inordinate ambition to unduly dominate others is a Yoruba person. Very silly mindset. I am not Yoruba and I don't even understand what they Say let alone speak the language.

Nearly every Southerner has come to agree that the North, through their born to rule philosophy, actually laid the foundation for mistrust and bloodshed in Nigeria. A people who insisted they were born to rule in a democracy can't be exonerated from blame for whatever derailment that democracy suffered later. In fact such people carry the greatest blame as democracy is not Oligarchy or Monarchy. Born-to-rule mindset is an aberration to democracy. Even some enlightened Northerners now agree that If Northerners did not believe they born to rule and were not bent on subdueing the South as manifested in the rigging of the 1962 census and 1965 elections in pursuit of their born to rule mentality the coups and counter-coups which derailed Nigeria would not have happened. Now SLS made an analysis on the problem of Nigeria where he laid the blame at the doorstep of the two major Southern tribes without reserving any single blame for his own Northern brothers who actually laid the foundation with their born to rule mentality, and unfortunately an Igbo man is here busy referencing that analysis from such a dishonest Northern Oligarchy heir to make a point. Even SLS himself will laugh at Igbos' inconsistency for quoting his dishonest analysis as a gospel truth.
SLS failed to mention that the first coup was actually the reinstatement, without election as stipulated by the constitution, of Akintola by his brother Balewa in collusion with Zik. Awo's coup was only in response as a self help against a lawless government at the top.
When people say Igbos are shallow in thought and don't reason deeply before they act they accuse them of Igbo bashing. But here is another exhibition of that shallowness of thought. Referencing SLS' dishonest article in which he completely exonerated his own Northern born-to-rule chanting brothers from Nigerias woes. Shame on you big time. Your fu-ck up no get part 2.
You be real federal mumu. A jus dey bow for you.
Abeg your mumu suppose don do. But as e no con get cure so where we go carry you go now?

SOUNDKING:
look at onye ofe mmanuuu calling someone a fraudstar,hahahahaha one Nigeria is the greatest fraud in the whole wide world,,,,pls wetin make una leader Tinubu run from America?......lol.

Agreed perfectly that one Nigeria is the biggest political fraud in World History. But who exactly invented that fraud? It was Zik an Igbo man and leader of Igbos.

You believe Nigeria is a contraption not worth staying in yet you prevented Ijaws led by Isaac Boro from getting out of it while you people were still calling the shots and loving one Nigeria. Very greedy lots. When they are paid back in their own very coin they start crying victimization. Who will ever believe that the same people now asking for freedom from Nigeria once prevented others from breaking free from Nigeria? It is not Nigeria that's holding you back but it is God doing so obviously because of your hypocrisy and wickedness in earlier denying others the opportunity of exiting the same thing you now call contraption. Hypocrites!

Stop rambling like a broken record! Your pulling out baseless theories of absurdity to blackmail the Igbo Nation to continue with you in this cesspit is DOA and such shenanigan cannot save you!

Culled:
Braithwaite reportedly died on Monday morning, March 28, 2016 at St. Nicholas Hospital, Lagos.

The founder of the Nigerian Advance Party, NAP was a delegate at the 2014 National Conference, canvassed for a Confederal Constitution to replace the 1999 Constitution.

He described the 1999 Constitution as Decree 24 which was presently destroying Nigeria and Nigerians, stressed that it should be thrown out and be replaced with either a Confederal constitution, with Nigeria operating con-federalism or a very loose federation.
...

”... The present 1999 Constitution or Decree 24 is enforcing a country that is destroying its own people, and should be rejected outright.

”This Conference must therefore be as much a development conference as a constitutional one. It is our firm conviction that only a Confederal Constitution or a very loose federation is best suited for Nigeria. I say this because I know that no part of Nigeria is desert.

Unfortunately you did not answer my questions because doing so would expose your hypocrisy. Were we not operating a true federalist constitution which was working well and delivering results before your stupid brother Ironsi came and replaced it with this same one you claim Braithwaite called a pain inflicting one? Because you felt you would be in a position to control and lord it over others you preached one Nigeria and changed the constitution from federal to this unitary one that has today caused us pain, bloodshed, looting, misgovernance, inter-ethnic wars, arson, militancy, rape, kidnapping, marginalization, etc as at when everyone else wanted to get out of the contraption. But as soon as one Nigeria did not go as you calculated you started calling Nigeria a cesspit and asking to leave. Your daft and visionless Zik rejected the inclusion of secession clause in our constitution in 1957 conference arguing that such a clause was inimical to national "unity" and labelled as tribalists those who proposed it, but as soon as the fraudulent national unity began to boomerang you started asking for the same secession you rejected and mocked others for. Hypocrites! After causing problems with your one Nigeria and unitary system you want to run away from the consequences for others to suffer it alone. You think you are smart? You go nowhere. We are all going to remain in the contraption and 'enjoy' the consequences of the stupidity of your Zik and Ironsi for their foreceful introduction of unitary system and rejection of secession clause.
You call yourselves nationalists, so why try to break away to form a sectional country? Inconsistent pretenders!

zendy:
you asked a very simple question. Unfortunately,most Nigerians especially those outside the SS/SE cannot answer this question. The best most of them will come up with is how the Lord Lugardian experiment called Nigeria is all the know which is essentially the thinking of a slave. Nigeria is a disaster of country that has never worked. It is this retrogressive state that has claimed the lives of millions is what people say that they believe in. The Yoruba man and Hausa man have no historical ties to the Igbos but they are prepared to fight wars to be with the Igbo man. It is pure madness. It is crazy for anyone to believe they are brothers to Igbos just because Lord Lugard came from Britain to say so. Everything is about oil. Nothing more

So Igbos knew Yorubas and Hausas had no historical ties with Igbos yet Igbos queued behind Zik while he propagated his fraudulent one Nigeria philosophy aimed at forcing a false unity and marriage between all Nigerians despite their totally different cultures? Igbos also saw nothing wrong with Ironsi's Unification Degree which forcefully amalgamated further the Igbos, Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas who had no historical ties to one another? Why did Igbos not protest publicly against Zik and Ironsi for trying to forcefully unify Nigeria despite they (Igbos) knew fully well that Nigerian tribes had no historical ties with one another? Why did Igbos labell Awolowo as a tribalist for saying that Nigeria is a mere geographical expression whereas he by that actually meant that Nigerian tribes had no historical ties and which was the blunt fact?
When and why did it later dawn on Igbos that Ahmadu Bello, Balewa, Enahoro and Awolowo were correct while Zik was utterly wrong and very daft and silly for seeking oneness among different people that had no common history or culture?

donholy28:
The igbos say dem wan go but una no wan allow them...so who be d problem now?

When every other tribe said they wanted to go earlier the Igbos too held them back with one Nigeria. Please recall that when the North asked the South to go and form their own country and leave the North alone, while Yorubas too were gasping for Oodua Republic it was an Igbo called Zik that decided to have the South wait till the North became ready for independence. Also when Ijaws declared their Niger Delta Republic it was two Igbos (Ojukwu and Ironsi) that forcefully held them back into Zik's fraudulent one Nigeria. So Igbos are morally wrong to complain now that other tribes are doing to them exactly what they too had already done to those other tribes in the past. You reap whatever you sow.

The Almighty God I knew will never support such a thing.
I wish u could wake up from your sleep.
Nigerian will never be one, as palastinains Hates the Israelites, thats how Hausa and Yoruba Hates The Igbo.
We are never meant to be one for God sake!!
And the spirit of the almigthy God will continue to disturb his children to break away from this force marriage peacefully, not in a violent way ,because chukwu okike abiama is a God of peace and justice.
God bless maa Beloved country Biafra.
God bless the struggle of ours, so that in the end we will gather in our various churches to say that ur true then God of peace and Justice Ameeeeen!!

Of which tribe was the Zik who invented the one Nigeria philosophy and slogan at a time all other tribes were saying it loud and clear that Nigeria was not one and could never become one?
Of which tribe was the Ironsi who forcefully unified us into one by Decree 34 against our wish?
Which tribe celebrated Ironsi's unification Decree that made us one despite public objections to it?
Which tribe insisted that Nigeria must be made one at all cost and so decided to wait till the North became ready to join the South as Nigeria?

God does not answer prayers for freedom when those praying to him have not confessed their own sins as regards the parts they played towards denying others their own freedom.

Xfactoria:
Guy, the facts are so glaring.

If the composition of the coup plotters should be dismissed as a pointer to the fact that it is an Igbo coup, how about the fact that all the political victims of the coup were all non-Igbo? Okpara and Zik lived and the excuses were that Zik was out of the country (after a tip off, of course) and Okpara did not resist arrest. Did Balewa resist arrest? Even Admoyega posited in his book that Balewa was wasted along the road to Abeokuta after he surrendered to them. He didn't resist arrest, yet he was killed. Ironsi attended the same function with Balewa yet he was allowed to go scot - free.

The fact is incontrovertible, and I stand to be corrected, that the Igbos were the architect of the mistrust ruining our political system today.

Tafawa Balewa could even in a sense be accused of verbal resistance as he was said to have, as at when Ifeajuna kidnapped him from his official residence in Lagos, asked Ifeajuna whether he thought what he was doing would not later consume himself as well.
But Okotie-Eboh did not put up any single resistance whether verbally or physically. In fact he even begged Ifeajuna with all humility to spare him. However Ifeajuna fired him mercilessly.

A committee was set up by GEJ to look into the agitation for states creation and headed by an Igbo man who disapproved the idea of creation of Anioma State claiming that such would make the SS have 7 states. Go to Anioma/Igbo issues website and you'll see it there.

Ekiti people wanted a governor that would join them in beer palours to cut ponmo and share drinks with cigarettes. And they got it. So why strike against the governor doing exactly what you voted for him to do? Fayose only carried the ponmo sharing to an international level by his visit to China and addressing train passengers.
People must learn to live with the consequences of their choices.

Might be true tho..

If demand for dollar decreases surely naira will appreciate...

And when crude oil prices appreciates in addition to that the Dollar will fall still further.

Zik should have simply resigned from the NPC-NCNC coalition government if he truly had no hand in Awolowo's incarceration and the unconstitutional reinstatement of Akintola to Western Region Premiership position by the government. Meanwhile the Zik who initially rejected Awolowo's AG-NCNC coalition offer on some very flimsy and meaningless excuses later turned around to form the UPGA alliance with AG while it was too late due to Awo's imprisonment. Zik had to fight alone against the Northern Oligarchy's rigging of 1962 census because the Awolowo who would have added an invaluable momentum to the Southern side in that fight had already been weakened by the Zik/Balewa coalition government.
I keep asking why Zik would prefer to form a government with the Born-to-rule chanting Northern Oligarchy against an all South ideologically based alliance that would have in no time placed Nigeria on the path of rapid development and industrialization.

gidgiddy:
You are just side stepping everything said. A junior officer can protest any injustice he or she feels in front of a superior officer, they are allowed to that. What they not allowed to do is to challenge a direct order from the superior officer. Protest not a challenge. No Military officer is allowed to resign their commission until their alloted time of service is over. Their are some officers on 'short service' who might be allowed to resign earlier due to the nature of their commission but Military officers do not have the luxury of resigning when they want. The best they can ask for is a transfer. Your friend who went for training was probably 'short service' officer who had already completed his mandatory service time and was free to quit. A long service officer like Ojukwu does not have the option of resignation. Awolowo on the other hand could have quit Government whenever he wanted, but he chose not to. He accepted to serve a regime controlled by northerners who superviced the wholesale slaughter of Igbos, all the while, congratulating himself for 'one Nigeria' because it was not his people being massacred. As for Ore, Ojukwu was justified in invading the place on his way to Lagos. Nigeria invaded Biafra and Biafra invaded Nigeria in response. So what is the problem? I don't know much about the 3000 people who died but to best of my knowledge, Yorubas killed themselves. I don't think it was Igbos who went to the west kill anyone. If the Yorubas for whatever reason, decide to kill each other, they have themselves to blame. Before Ojukwu declared Biafra, he sought and recieved the mandate to do so (Google Eastern Nigeria consultative assembly ). Who gave Isaac Boro the mandate to declare a country and who exactly was he declaring a separate state? Anyone can write a declaration and say they are separate from Nigeria but what sort of support do they have to do so? Comparing what Ojukwu did and what Boro did is like comparing a Tiger and a cat.

I don't blame Ojukwu, Dr Okpara or Zik for at one time believing in 'one Nigeria'. The 1945 and 1953 happened when Nigeria was just a British Colony. Dr Okpara did say before he died that people him and Zik believed that an independent Nigerian state would eventually become one of the most prosperous and powerful nations on earth. Times proved them wrong. Even I once believed in Nigerian unity despite the massacred that occurred in the 90's. Now, the unity of Nigeria means nothing to me. We are all human beings and people are allowed to change their mind.

My friend was not on a short service but a full service military officer. Nevertheless Ojukwu could have claimed health issues to resign and rally against Ironsi as the end justifies the means.
Neither did Yorubas kill Igbos. Igbos were killed by Hausas repeatedly due to the laxity of Igbo leaders. Yes, Yorubas killed one another over the anarchy caused in the Western Region by Hausa-Fulani in collusion with Igbos. That to me is civility even in violence as they decided to deal with their own traitors who gave outsiders a chance to disorganize their home unlike Igbos who, instead of killing their own traitors like Zik and Okpara who gave Northerners a chance to oppress them, decided to kill the very Northerners and left their own traitors walk free.
Awolowo would have been the biggest ingrate in world history to have quit the government of Gowon (a middlebelter and Christian) who released him and rally support for Igbos who colluded with the Islamist Northern Oligarchy to sentence him to a 10 year prison term on politically motivated charges.
If Ojukwu was truly only targeting Lagos and not on a mission to annex the Western and Midwestern Regions then why could his troops not just simply transit through Benin, Ore, etc to Lagos without capturing and declaring fraudulent independence in these towns and cities? Were the Warri, Auchi, Sapele Igarra, Lampese (which Ojukwu's soldiers also attacked and occupied) along the East-West Road leading to Lagos?
The Eastern Nigeria consultative assembly you talked of was not truly representative of the minorities which were already complaining of being disproportionately Igbo composed. If that assembly's approval to Ojukwu truly represented the minorities wish then why did the same Eastern Minorities later open up the coastlines for the federal forces to penetrate Biafra land? On the other hand Isaac Boro had the support of Ijaws as no Ijaw man or woman openly came out to resist him for declaring NDR. Legislative formality is not same as on-ground reality.
I blame Zik for believing in one Nigeria and inspiring other Igbos to do same. My reason is that Zik read Anthropology in the US, and Anthropology is the scientific study of the cultural evolutions of different peoples with the view to recommending how best different peoples with different cultures would peacefully cohabit without clashes of culture and its resultant bloodshed. To this end Anthropology recommends that in any society with divers peoples living closely together the best way to forestall clash of culture is for each and every tribe to acknowledge, understand and respect the differences between it and other tribes no matter how silly those other tribes' cultures might appear. But the Zik who knew this as an Anthropologist began to advocate for one Nigeria where tribal and ethnic cultural differences will be de-emphasized or even totally ignored in the name of national unity and strength. What sort of national unity is that? Why could Zik not simply apply the tenets of his profession in his reasoning? Given his field of study he was supposed to be the last person to talk of one Nigeria. But he did otherwise. That was too dishonest of him. University courses are meant to be read and the knowledge gained therein applied to practically solve problems in the society. But Zik never applied his professional knowledge to help Nigeria achieve peaceful coexistence among its people. He rather advocated and defended an idea that was not in harmony with his profession's tenets. Was that an indication that Zik was genuinely concerned about the peace thus rapid development of Nigeria?

zendy:
This long epistle just for you to make no point. You are saying that Ojukwu was alive when the Igbos were massacred in 1945 and 1953? What did you expect Ojukwu who was then a teenager to do in a time that Nigeria was still a British colony? Even Zik, Dr Okpara and Dr Akanu Ibiam who were great Igbo nationalist were still championing one Nigeria (for reasons best known to them) and you are talking about Ojukwu who at the time had no political clout? Laughable. I said that Ojukwu as a Soldier was subject to Ironsi who was his superior but but not subject to Gowon. Awolowo on the other hand was not a Soldier and was subject to nobody. Awolowo willingly accepted to serve under Gowon when he could have declined the offer and rallied the Yoruba nation to seek their right to self determination in the face of the massacre happening. Yet Awolowo chose to serve them. To this very day, the Yoruba man will always run to Northerner for political expedience. How Awolowo could have witnessed genocide on such a scale after Nigeria had achieved self rule but still went for 'one Nigeria' under the same people commiting the same atrocities. You said that Ojukwu should have resigned because of the massacre that happened under Ironsi? Go and read Philip Effiongs book "Biafra:My story" and you will know that Ojukwu vehemently protested the killing of easterners to Ironsi's face during the Executive meetings. One more thing, Military officers are not allowed to resign. The Military has its own rules that different from civilians. A Military officer can apply to be discharged for reasons such as health, incapacity or incompetence but they are not allowed to resign. If Ojukwu had resigned, he would have been arrested , detained and court martialed and jailed. That would not have helped him or anyone so that idea of yours is nonsense. The same Ojukwu you are talking about went to Ghana to sign an agreement with Gowon to keep Nigeria one and maintain the peace despite thousands his people being massacred. Does that look like man who only cares about power and not his people? Why did you not blame Gowon for breaking the agreement? As for Boro, what Boro did was stupid. Anyone can go to a market square, read some form of independence statement and take some men with guns into the Bush to start causing problems. That is not secession. Secession is declaring independence from Nigeria, not declaring independence from Igbos. I'm not even sure Boro knew who he was declaring free? His fellow Ijaws or who? In Ojukwus case, he declared Biafra after his belief in Nigeria had been shattered, amist wholesale slaughter of his people, the breaking of the binding Aburi agreement and after due consultation.

And your own epistle is short and makes sense? You have only regurgitated your earlier self contradictions
I thought you earlier said Ojukwu was not in a position whatsoever to challenge Ironsi? Now you claim Ojukwu once protested to Ironsi's face over the killing of Igbos in the North. Which do we now believe? You are neither coherent nor stable in your opinion.
You obviously lack an appreciation of figurative expressions or else you would not have misconstrued my submission that Ojukwu was alive to mean that I expected him to do something as a teenager regarding the murder of Igbos in 1945 and 1953. I only meant he knew of this by hindsight but still continued to root for one Nigeria after becoming an Army Officer and adult. What else was that if not insanity?
Only a lawless person would argue that Awolowo was not subject to Gowon while he served under him as finance minister. It is like saying NOI was not subject to the GEJ who appointed her as part of the executive arm of government which GEJ was the overall head of.
You goofed again by claiming Ojukwu was afraid of imprisonment by Ironsi if he resigned, and that the Army Law does not permit such. I have a neighbour who was sponsored for medical course in US and after completion of the course he resigned from the Nigerian Army and commenced practising as a lecturer over there in University of California Los Angeles, and he visits Nigeria frequently without anyone arresting and locking him up despite he even enjoyed Army sponsorship and therefore morally obliged to remain in the army. If your theory is true, then why did Ironsi not jail Ojukwu for protesting against his docility over Igbos massacre? Was imprisonment by Ironsi even too much for Ojukwu as a price to pay for resigning in protest to Ironsi's indecision towards Igbos massacre as HOS? Must you lie to justify Ojukwu's hypocrisy?
Your Aburi Accord story still does not cut it. If Ojukwu truly initially believed in confederacy which he later demanded at Aburi, then why did he not protest against Ironsi's unification decree far before Aburi issue came up? Thank God you yourself has just said he protested against Ironsi face to face over Igbos massacre. Aburi Accord was an afterthought on Ojukwu's part. The agreement was broken by both Ojukwu and Gowon. So spread your blames fairly.

What you said about Awolowo is pure trash. Why would Awolowo not rally to the side of Gowon when Ojukwu was already invading his territory and forcefully taking it over? Were you expecting Awo to fold his arms and watch as Ojukwu entered Ore and imposed an Igbo military officer there. Was that the initial agreement he and Ojukwu had? How would Awo have declared Oodua Republic which Ojukwu was already invading and annexing to Biafra? You claim Awolowo's support for Gowon visited massacres on innocent Igbos yet you conveniently forgot that Igbos like Zik, Okpara, etc assisted the North in causing the Western Region anarchy and chaos which led to the massacre of over 3,000 innocent Yorubas and hounded Awolowo into jail only for Gowon to release him and others like Boro, Enahoro, etc after Ironsi refused to release them for six good months. You think the death of those 3,000 Yorubas is any less criminal and inhuman than the death of the millions of Igbos killed during the war? Whoever sows the wind reaps not the wind but the whirlwind.
Boro declared seccession from the whole of Nigeria including Igbos. As long as you see everything wrong in Boro's declaration but see everything right in Ojukwu's then you remain a hypocrite. The quest for freedom through violence does not have standard procedures to follow. Both Ojukwu and Boro are guilty of violent approach. If Boro was reckless to have declared secession that way then Ojukwu should have opted for referendum and not mere unconstitutional declaration.

Zik was the problem of Igbos as it was he who inspired and misled Ojulkwu, Ironsi, Okpara, etc into believing in one Nigeria when all evidences pointed to the contrary. Blame Zik and leave Yorubas and Hausas alone. Northerners made it clear that Muslims and Christians in nearly equal numbers can't form a peaceful country. Yorubas towed same line but Igbos led by Zik continued to forcefully glue us together and they paid dearly for it. So why not rather blame the blind and stupid Zik?

Please how can a reasonable, educated Nigerian associate leadership and integrity with Ebola Owu?
How can that be possible

Unfortunately GEJ himself never kept this same OBJ at a distance till he had done irreparable damage to his regime's image. Imagine GEJ, in his very first post-swearing in public speech, saying "OBJ left some positive legacies which I will follow after in my regime". That was when the $16bn power sector fraud by OBJ was already making the news as disclosed by GEJ's own immediate predecessor and boss-Yaradua. I kept wondering what positive legacy GEJ saw in a man who promised to give us stable electricity within 18 months but ended up spending $16bn after 96 months (8 years) to give us stable darkness. Even the Yaradua whom OBJ directly and single handedly placed in power distanced himself from OBJ throughout his 2.5 year reign. But the GEJ whose rise to power could not be directly credited to OBJ started glorifying OBJ on assumption of office. It was at that moment I realized that GEJ was going to be very weak and naïve and that his government was going to be like that of Shagari where the head was acting as the legs.

toysleek:
Let me use this analogy.
Let's assume my husband and I both had savings of a total sum of #5million in a joint acct for rainy days, I decided to check one day and it was already depleted to #4.5million.When he couldn't tell me exactly wht he used the #500k for,i vehemently asked that he gave me my share of about #1.8million, which he did. Suddenly,all his allowances were stopped in his workplace and his net income was just too meagre to keep up with the affluent life we have been living. Thus, we became broke and he started blaming me that it was my fault we were broke. And I asked, where is your #2.7million share? Apparently, he had squandered it too. Truth is, if he had not meddled with the money at all, I wouldn't have had the audacity to ask for my share and he also would have stood his ground(AS THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE)if he had the integrity.

Very clearly illustrated and simplified by you.
The wailers have refused to tell us what motivated governors to go to court over savings under GEJ. It all boils down to trust. When people were wondering why Nigerians did not pour out into the streets in demonstration against Buhari for trying to remove subsidy the way they did to GEJ, I told them that it is not the removal of the subsidy that Nigerians are against but that they feared that they could not trust GEJ as regards the integrity and honesty to judiciously use the proceeds, but could trust Buhari more on that. As a good leader rather than blame the governors for deprecating his proposal to save he should have tried to find out why they did not trust him. Once people trust a leader they hardly ever resist his suggestions even if harsh and unbearable.

kayuseful:
it's like you've been a wailer before.. you got it so perfectly

Ha ha ha ha .............. I've never been a wailer oooooooo........... As a SS person I just learnt wailing skills by default from the many wailer friends I have. So I am very used to their methods and can mimick them a lot.

TRUTHTOPOWER:
on why Nigerians are in pain today, see the CONFESSIONAL STATEMENT of your Hero's CoordinatingMinister for the economy. According to Iweala, we are in pain today because GEJ administration lacked the political will to save for the training.

Although that is half truth. the truth is: the goats eat our yams.period. If you wail henceforth, it is because you have been denied access to our yams!

Below is how a typical PDP pall bearer would respond to NOI's recent speech:

NOI is another "traitor" from the SS.
Why has NOI decided to join Amaechi in betraying GEJ? Why should she claim there was no political will to save for the rainy day under GEJ? Most worrisome and by far more treacherous than Amaechi's act is NOI's claim that OBJ was better than GEJ in terms of political will. NOI has just exposed herself as a Judas Iscariotess. She is very shameless as she is one of those who destroyed this country under PDP but now want to run to APC to become a saint. She was actually planted in GEJ's cabinet by Buhari. She is a Boko Haram sponsor. In fact rather than confess that she wasted on sponsoring BH the money GEJ saved she is shamelessly accusing GEJ of lack of will to save. Traitor like her. Is she really from the SS? It seems she is actually a Northerner who got adopted by a Deltan. Even her name sounds Arabic. It is better for her to realize that ministerial positions have been distributed thus she can't get what she is lobbying for by insulting GEJ and betraying the SS.

zendy:
That is highly unfair to Ojukwu. How can you say that Ojukwu should have allowed Boro's so called declaration to stand? Are you forgetting that Ojukwu was a Soldier who was subject to the orders of his superiors and also was a man who once believed in one Nigeria? Who was Ojukwu to to go against the directives of Ironsi? However, with Gowon, it was a different ball game. Ojukwu was senior to Gowon (even though they were both Lt. Colonels) and Ojukwu didn't have to listen to Gowon. As the interview says, Ojukwu declared Biafra out of the necessity to protect his people. Ojukwu also sought the mandate of the people through the Eastern Nigeria consultative Forum before he did so. What Boro did on the other hand was just pure recklessness. Ojukwu was a great man, he literally dismantled Nigeria with the following


The Federation of Nigeria is today as corrupt, as unprogressive and as oppressive and irreformable as the Ottoman Empire was in Eastern Europe over a century ago. And in contrast, the Nigerian Federation in the form it was constituted by the British cannot by any stretch of imagination be considered an African necessity. Yet we are being forced to sacrifice our very existence as a people to the integrity of that ramshackle creation that has no justification

The federation of Nigeria, in 1960 as at when Ojukwu believed in one Nigeria, was already as corrupt, as oppressive and as
irredemable as the Othoman empire. Corruption, oppression, etc started in Nigeria as far back as 1914 yet Ojukwu believed in and defended one Nigeria.
If Ojukwu's thwarting of Niger Delta Republic was justified on the grounds that he was subject to the order of Ironsi, then Awolowo's refusal to allow Biafra stand was also justified based on your logic as Awo too was subject to the orders of Gowon under whom he was serving. Is what is good for the goose no longer also good for the gander?
As at the time Ojukwu initially believed in one Nigeria it was already crystal clear that Nigeria was not really one and could never really become be one. Ojukwu was alive when Northerners massacred thousands of Igbos in 1945 and 1953 in Jos and Kano riots respectively, and even in 1966 right under Ironsi's nose and despite the innocent Igbo lives lost in those riots he continued believing in one Nigeria up till 1967. So was it not therefore hypocritical for the same Ojukwu to start disbelieving in one Nigeria only when his brother was killed and overthrown? That means loss of lives of his own brothers was not as important to him as Ironsi's remaining in power.
We are talking of morality here which supersedes any military seniority theory. If Ojukwu truly valued innocent civilian lives over position why then did he not resign from the army in protest to Ironsi's inaction in the face of the 1966 Igbo-targeted pogroms that happened right under Ironsi's regime? After all once he resigned he would not be bound by any military laws again and then he could rally against Ironsi as a civilian the same way he himself later expected Awolowo to have, as a civilian, rallied against Gowon.
Your claim that Isaac Boro was just reckless is the biggest comedy. When has it become an act of recklessness to strive to free one's people from oppression and domination? Boro rightly felt the Ijaws were being trampled upon in the Eastern Region by the Igbos and once the opportunity seemed to appear he declared Niger Delta Republic. The way he sought freedom from Nigeria and Eastern Region oppression was the same Way Ojukwu sought freedom from Nigeria. And mind you that Isaac Boro never at anytime believed in one Nigeria hence was not hypocritical like Ojukwu. Also Ojukwu did not consult all the traditional council of chiefs and rulers of the tribes that made up the Eastern Region but consulted only the Eastern Regional Assembly which Boro and many other Eastern minorities already viewed as not truly proportionally representative of the ethnic groups in the entire Eastern region.

Let's even assume Ojukwu is correct in his claim to have released Awo. Now that would mean that for six months while Ironsi was busy releasing the Northerners and treating the Igbo coup plotters with kid gloves Ojukwu did not think it was necessary for himself to impress it upon Ironsi to release him obviously because he was in support of his brother Zik who colluded with the North to jail him. But as soon as the table turned against him he released Awo because he calculated that Awo would be useful to him in prosecuting the war he was planning to declare. Was that release therefore not motivated by a selfish agenda therefore? Ojukwu did not care about Awo's freedom but as soon as war came calling he realized Awo would be a useful tool on his side and released him as he claims. Who would be in Awo's shoes and support Ojukwu after selfishly releasing him?
Moreover the order that released Awolowo also released Enahoro, Isaac Boro and many others who were not in Eastern Region prisons. So was it still Ojukwu that released all those other ones in other regions over which he had no control?
