Odingo1:The same scenario is playing out with Igbos claiming to originate from Israel but on arrival in their present location they didn't only forget their Jewish language and culture but their skin changed from white to black. At least Ikwerre people's skin colour has not changed from that of their claimed Bini ancestors unlike Igbos. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Kay17:Did the military end up not institutionalizing the very corruption they claimed made them intervene? Did the investigations that followed the overthrow of the first Republic really end up revealing any massive corruption which the military alleged was ongoing? 1 Like |

Irony1:Senseless response as usual. No substance. You have now shifted goalpost to ' groups of provinces are same as regions'. If he were another tribe you would have agreed that he destroyed the regions. That is the truth. 2 Likes |

2elliot: The two bolded sentences are self contradictory. Secondly, the coup ended up causing a far greater damage to Nigeria than what the politicians are alleged to have done in your first bolded. That simply tells you that military intervention in democracy has no justification and it doesn't progress any nation hence it is never an option irrespective of how bad and corrupt the politicians are alleged to be. 3 Likes 1 Share |

gidgiddy:It was a Decree which unified the public service and not the civil service. Public service is different from civil service. Ironsi never mentioned civil service in the national broadcast in which he announced that decree. It was public service he hammered on. Unlike civil service, public service means the entire apparatus of government. So unifying the public service was simply unifying all the powers and resources of the regional governments to the center. Remember that all before then Zik had been making a case for a very strong omnipotent center disguised as a call for one Nigeria and a fake national unity 4 Likes |

Believeintruth: Ironsi unified the entire public service and not only the civil service. Check through his gazettes. He mentioned Public service throughout and never civil service. Public service is different from civil service. Unification of the entire public service is tantamount to total destruction and alteration of the governance structure. 1 Like |

DMerciful: This thread was opened on the 14th of February 2012 as can easily be seen on page 1 of it. Obi assumed office in 2006 sequel to the sack of Ngige.... meaning that this thread was opened six years into Obi's tenure and two years to the end of it. So if Anambra people could lambast Obi and adjudge him a monumental failure after six years of his eight year term, then what on earth do you mean by the bolded? 6 Likes |

ndept: The problem with you is belief in unsubstantiated generalizations. If you knew that this platform is dedicated to stock business, then what inspired you in the first place to start comparing Obasanjo's government with the others here? Is this a platform for telling which government is better or worse than the other or which stock is better than the other? Being clever by half is not a virtue. When a platform is said to be dedicated strictly to a particular topic, you let it actually remain so. 3 Likes |

DMerciful:Why didn't Igbos resist Ironsi's breakup of the regions into groups of provinces? You can't say we presently don't have regions. If we don't, then why are you Igbos always arguing that the SE Region is being oppressed by the other regions? Can non existent entities oppress another non existent entity? 2 Likes |

DMerciful: What you lots don't seem to understand is that regionalism is not just the existence of regions on paper but the extent to which they have power of autonomy. Ironsi is said to kill regional system not because he purportedly left the boundaries intact but because he stripped the regions of their autonomy and subjected them to the center. Presently in Nigeria, we have six regions which are SS, SW, SE, NC, NW and NE; but that doesn't mean we are practicing regional system since these regions are powerless and taking orders from Abuja the center . That exactly was the situation under Ironsi. We had groups of provinces with same boundaries as the former regions but those groups of provinces were powerless and taking orders from the center and also reporting to the center. Is that how to practice regionalism? If that is how, then why are you Igbos not satisfied with the present system which is exactly like Ironsi's style which you claim was regionalism? 2 Likes |

Irony1: You are an idiot. You mean you can't simply explain what Ironsi meant by the expression 'former regions'? You mean Philip Asiodu lied against Ojukwu when he said Ojukwu told him that he and Ironsi would abolish the regions in six months? You are seeing hards fact but hiding under deductive reasoning story. Very dishonest lots. If Ironsi we're of any other tribe you would have agreed he destroyed the regions. 2 Likes |

DMerciful: Hear what Ironsi himself said in his May 24 1966 national broadcast. If he didn't abolish the regions, then what did he mean with the words in bold? Ironsi's Broadcast to the Nation banning Political Parties and introducing Decree No. 34, 24 May 1966. www.dawodu.com Fellow Nigerians: During the past two weeks I presided over meetings of the Supreme Military council and the Central Executive Council at which many important state matters were considered. . . It is now three months since the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was handed over to the Armed Forces. Now that peace has been restored in the troubled areas it is time that the Military Government indicates clearly what it proposes to accomplish before relinquishing power. The removal of one of the obstacles on the way is provided for in the Constitution (Suspension and Modification) Decree (No. 5) 1966 which was promulgated by me today and comes into effect at once. The provisions of the Decree are intended to remove the last vestiges of the intense regionalism of the recent past, and to produce that cohesion in the governmental structure which is so necessary in achieving, and maintaining the paramount objective of the National Military government, and indeed of every true Nigerian, namely, national unity. The highlights of this Decree are as follows: The former regions are abolished, and Nigeria grouped into a number of territorial areas called provinces. . . . Nigeria ceases to be what has been described as a federation. It now becomes simply the Republic of Nigeria. The former Federal Military government and the Central Executive Council become respectively the National Military Government and the executive Council. All the Military Governors are members of the Executive Council. A Military Governor is assigned to a group of provinces over which and subject to the direction and control of the Head of the National Military Government, he shall exercise executive power. In order to avoid any major dislocation of the present administrative machinery, the grouping of the provinces has been made to coincide with the former regional boundaries. This is entirely a transitional measure and must be understood as such. [The present grouping of the provinces is without prejudice to the Constitutional and Administrative arrangements to be embodied in the New Constitution in accordance with the wishes of the people of Nigeria. The National Military Government assumes the exercise of all legislative powers throughout the Republic subject to such delegations to Military Governors as are considered necessary for purposes of efficient administration. The public services of the former federation and regions become unified into one national public service under a National Public Service Commission. There is a provincial Service Commission for each group of provinces to which is delegated functions in respect of public officers below a given rank. This rather drastic change will probably involve a reconstitution of the existing commissions, and the National Military Government reserves the right to do so in the manner stipulated in the Decree. Until this is done, the present Commissioners continue to act in their posts. Every civil servant is now called upon to see his function in any part of Nigeria in which he is serving in the context of the whole country. The orientation should now be towards national unity and progress. I expect all civil servants to co-operate and to consult at all levels, vertically and horizontally, between groups of Provinces and between Provinces and the Centre. [/quote] 2 Likes |

Irony1: In addition to Ironsi declaring with his own mouth that the regions were abolished and thereafter referring to them as former regions, Philip Asiodu also granted an interview in which he said that Ojukwu secretly told him that he and Ironsi would abolish the regions in six months. Here is the story on The Sun Newspaper owned by an Igbo man. https://www.google.com/amp/s/sunnewsonline.com/impunity-killing-nigeria-phillip-asiodu/%3famp Please note where the report reads: In fact when the coup happened, he wanted me to join him in Enugu and I told him that I was not a regional man. And Ojukwu told me ‘we shall abolish the regions within 6 months’. As I told you, no coup in this country occurred without long notice. For the January 15, 1966 coup, there were talks about a majors coup and a lieutenant colonels coup. And he said ‘we will abolish the regions within 6 months’. I know Ojukwu’s attitude when we were students. And I warned him when he said ‘we will abolish regions.’ I said no, ‘by the time you participate in people’s wishes, anguish, you will be with them.’ 2 Likes |

DMerciful:That is a very simplistic understanding. Ironsi left for groups of provinces and not regions. The groups of provinces in question were not autonomous but had governors imposed on them and reporting to the center unlike in the pre-ironsi era in which there were autonomous regions that didn't take orders from or report to the center. Get your facts right please. 2 Likes |

dettolgel: By merely eating a fruit in disobedience to God, Adam brought sin into this world. However, we humans who later came after Adam have committed sins far worse than eating a mere fruit. We now kill, steal, bear false witness, take bribes, etc. But does that change the fact that we wouldn't have committed those worse sins if Adam had not introduced sin? Remember that the bible calls Adam the father of sin despite his sin is very minor compared to those of men who came after him. So, philosophically, he who introduces an evil is responsible for all the future pains associated with that evil. 2 Likes |

ndept: So Obasanjo lies against himself each time he says that Boko Haram started during his administration but that he left them to have a field day because they didn't disturb his government? It seems you know Obasanjo more than he knows himself? Are you aware that till today Obasanjo is sympathetic to Boko Haram? You never heard he once visited Boko Haram national headquarters, apologized to them for his successors' offensive against them, and offered them a cash gift of up to N1m over which the members there present had a sharing disagreement and one of them was shot dead by the others? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2011/09/boko-haram-visit-obasanjos-host-shot-dead/amp/ Please be informed that what we now know as Fulani Herdsmen and Bandits are all disguised forms of Boko Haram which Obasanjo acknowledges began in his time. Also note that unknown gunmen and IPOB are offshoots of MASSOB another Obasanjo legacy. How come Yaradua solved Niger Delta militancy yet it outlived his tenure? Debt forgiveness which Obasanjo got is not same as debt repayment. Had Obasanjo actually repaid our debts, then you could call it an achievement. The coming of Mobile telecommunication had its beginning in the Abacha administration. Could you be specific about the integrated power plants Obasanjo invested in? Your theory that power sector challenges could have been addressed by a situation of every successive government utilizing 35% of funds and stealing the 65% balance is a veiled rationalization of abuse of office. Why then is Obasanjo walking free of EFCC harassment while governors who spend even more than 35% of budgeted funds in the respective state ministries and looting the rest are on EFCC's trail? 2 Likes |

ndept: By the bolded, you are guilty of the very attitude of not speaking out which you seem to see in others. I can't believe that there are still people with the perception that these problems were not there during the time of Obasanjo which was the time they all actually started and Obasanjo ignored all of it in pursuit of political capital. Obasanjo himself has confessed several times in the public that this insecurity started in his regime and that he left those behind it to continue because they didn't disturb his government. If not Obasanjo, who on earth can ever argue that insecurity of any stage is not a disturbance to his government. I have always said it that Nigeria's problem is not the political class as assumed but the quest for political correctness among the citizens. 1 Like 1 Share |
