with the way ojkuwu is behaving
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Shut your putrid mouth up, monkey. Is Ojukwu’s behavior the final arbiter on who gets the presidential mantle?

^^^ Last time I checked though, Nigeria is under democratic system of government. The presidency does not create laws that affect you and me but formulates policies which are subject to debate especially at the National Assembly. The economic policies that will have adverse or favorable effect on Ndigbo do not necessarily flow from the presidency. In fact, greater numbers of such policies emanate from National Assembly where laws that govern Nigeria are erected. So I do not think presidency should be the priority of Ndigbo except those who think going to Aso Rock is feat that must be accomplished.

Chilean government should be applauded for being able to organize assistance from USA.

Disintegration!!!

revolt:
Like I said ill state the obvious. There is no se SS unity. They hate us even more than the northerners who have inflicted and meted out so much injustice on them. Perhaps you may need to visit the SS. They don't even accept the igbos in delta. That's how much they hate igbos. For no reason or justification just envy.

Bros, as you rightfully stated in your post, I am not into these goofy nomenclatures such as SS, NN, NNE or NNW. If it is the Efik, Ijo, Urhobo or Itsekiri that exudes hatred towards Ndigbo, such group should be stated publicly instead of the so-called SS. There is no doubt of nonexistence of political middle ground between the people of southern Nigeria. I have no intentions to encourage any form of mutual political understanding among the people of southern Nigeria this time around.

Bluetooth: From being useless to why are you Igbos not spending it in Nigeria??

The ignorance in you is becoming hilarious. Even Becomepoor had shown a touch of class on this classless post. Are you sure to standup and fight like Biafrans or urinate in your pant when drunken northerners show up?  It is an apparent display of idiocy to compare Biafran money notes with these jokes.

^^^ Which of your fingers did he bite?

I guess you do not have comprehensible problem. I did not write that I fed him. Besides, it is a metaphoric expression

Ibime:
Its not good enough to admit that nobody investigated previous bomb blasts. There was nothing to investigate sef cos MEND already owned up to the previous blast. Its only when the blast makes GEJ campaign look bad that he deems it necessary to investigate. In Nigeria, life is cheaper than image.

Meanwhile Mr President says he was not absolving MEND, but he sent Presidential Jet to PH to go and pick up militants to come to Abuja and absolve MEND.

You are really the son of your grandfather. MEND had unequivocally assumed the responsibility of the bomb blast in Abuja. The persons to be investigated are the GEJ, Director of SSS, Ministers of Internal affairs and FCT, IGP and Director of National Security Agency. It is important that Nigerian public should be made to understand what these people knew about the bomb plot and when they knew it.

Anybody that bites the fingers that fed him/her is capable of anything. GEJ is a double-mouthed President and amounts to no good.

Its a bloody act of intellectual laziness and dishonesty to dispute a "latecomer" tag about Ademoyega 's participation in the coup plots, when you don't even know when he was recruited into the plot and could not even be bothered to find out. So wth are u contesting a claim that you don't know its veracity or otherwise?

I am not surprise that latecomer tag on Ademoyega was another side show added to the trail of denial which has engulfed the January 15, 1966. Bearing the unfortunate scheme of academic laziness, one wonders why seemingly bright individuals have failed to shame the act of denial by either reading books titled “Why We Struck” by Ademoyega or Nigeria’s Five Majors” by Gbulie. In fact, I shall not be surprise if peeps from certain section of Nigeria will posit that Ademoyega was not involved with January 15, 1966 coup.

As of July 1965, Ademoyega, Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna have started talking and recruiting officers for the revolution. In his book, Why We Struck, Ademoyega detailed the part he played in the process leading to the coup of January 15, 1966. Ademoyega was not only a coordinator but had a lead voice on who should be recruited. Case in point was the recruitment of Major Donatus Okafor.

Even when Major Timothy Onwuatuegwu gave the names of the foundation members of the intended coup to the Captain Ben Gbulie, he said there were five majors in all; Ifeajuna, Ademoyega, Okafor, Nzeogwu and Anuforo. It was these five majors that gave rise to the title of Ben Gbulie’s book.

Katsumoto:
There were 8 majors and 1 captain. Ademoyega was the only non-Igbo. just stating the facts.

You are right about when Ademoyega was recruited; he was recruited October/November of 65. He was recruited by Nzeogwu who was himself recruited a month or two before Ademoyega.

Would you have been happy if there were more than one Major of Yoruba extraction among the coup plotters? Even if there were six (6) Majors of Yoruba extraction involved in the coup, you would have found a reason to label it an Igbo coup.

He probably heard it from Chief Matthew Mbu who was told by Waribor that he in fact shot Bello, dead.
Bloody inept revisionists!!!

Una don start again, huh. which ethnic divide are u reffering to? The inner circle of the coupists comprises of one yoruba and four Igbo Majors. And this constitute your idea of "cutting across the ethnic divide within the country"? I beg, carry go jo with your twisting all logic on its head, ojare. Its a pity/coincidence that the killings didn't "cut across the ethnic divide within the country" 


Here we go, again. No way could Ademoyega be made to wear the toga of "leader of the coup". Yeah, he was the co-ordinator but that does not make him the "leader". To put it bluntly, what influence does one yoruba major have over four igbo majors, two of whom (Nzeogwu and Ifeajunna) were his senior in rank. He was the last major to be recruited and at the eleventh hr so by no stretch of the imagination can Ademoyega be conferred with that hideous title "leader".
Onibara  e nba ole bo. Your beggar is surreptitiously morphing into an armed bandit!!! 


Another fallacy. Major Ifeajunna was the original creator of the coup. Ademoyega was recruited at the last minute, probably as an afterthought to give a semblance of the coup "cutting across the ethnic divide within the country".


source pls
The Police report stated differently.

I do not know why Nigerians call IBB master schemer. The title should perfectly fit your persona. Nobody insinuates Ademoyega was the leader of the January 15, 1966 coup. However, it is an apparent act of intellectual dishonesty to arrogate latecomer tag on Ademoyaga. By the way, when did Ademoyega join the January 15, 1966 coup plotters?

Pal, I heard you on the “take it easy” part. The team designated to arrest or possible shoot Premier of Northern region of Nigeria in my book killed Bello.

Katsumoto:
It was Nzeogwu who killed Bello, at least according to the official police report

151. NA 502342 Cpl. Yakubu Kaje of 3rd BN NA reports that, at a given moment, he observed a civilian coming out of the Lodge armed with a sword. The corporal and the men with him stopped the civilian and ordered him to drop the sword. At this moment, according to the corporal, Major Nzeogwu arrived on the scene and asked the civilian, in Hausa, for the whereabouts of the "master of the house". The man replied that he did not know, whereupon Major Nzeogwu threatened to kill him unless he led him to his master. The man then agreed and led Major Nzeogwu to the back of the building. A shortwhile afterwards, the corporal states, he heard a number of shots fired. Assuming that Kaje is telling the truth, it is probable that the Sardauna of Sokoto died at that moment.

152. Cpl. Kaje has further reported that when the firing ceased, Major Nzeogwu came from the compound and was met at the gate by 2/Lt. Waribor, who asked the Major: "Did you get the man?", to which Nzeogwu answered, "Yes". When Major Nzeogwu left the compound he stated for all to hear, exultantly, "I have been successful, he is dead".

I await your version that can be backed up.

Katsumoto, for the sake of argument, did you believe this conjectural crap? Reading this junk, I came across that Maj Nzeogwu went into the gated compound alone without his boys. And when Nzeogwu shot Bello, he walked back to the gate of the compound where Waribor asked his superior “Did you get the man”.  Why was Waribor designated to lead the team of soldiers to arrest or shot the Premier of Northern region of Nigeria if his duty was to stand behind a gated compound?

Sometimes you disappoint me big time!!!!!!!!!!!!

@POST

Whosoever wrote this article is indelible idio.t This is one of the reasons Nigeria will never progress. A journalist should not go public until all relevant facts to a story are gathered. 

What has Kaduna State coordinator of the IBB Campaign Organization and former Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Honorable Bashir Zubairu informing the newsmen about IBB visit to Kaduna got to do with 48 hour notice required by Police?

This nonsensical article should have included the detail request or notice from IBB Campaign Organization to Police so the discerning onlookers could either fault IBB Campaign Organization or the Police.

What we seemed to have in Nigeria is a system of government called democracy and it is proper the fundamental principles of system are uphold regardless of whose ox is gored.

Remii:
Ademoyega did not deny being part of the 5 Majors. Read his book, Why We Struck.

The grandiose denial of the fact that January 15, 1966 cut across the ethnic divide within Nigeria has degenerated to sorry state of who killed who. A person does not need to kill or own the responsibility of killing a targeted interest to become a leader or coordinator of a coup.

Whether Ademoyega killed a target or not, the fact remains Ademoyega was one of the architects of January 15, 1966 coup.

Yet people forgot it was Captain Waribor who shot Ahmadu Bello.

EzeUche0:
Let us just say OBJ was his tribe's worse enemy. He was quick to cut down his own Yoruba than anyone else. Some people only want power. OBJ enjoyed power. GEJ wants power.

For the southwest of Nigeria to abandon a regional and tribal political party such as AD, OBJ gave more than a house full of carrots and Kolanuts if I may add.

koruji:
No, there is no such constitutional provision, but a man of his stature must surely have a good reason for staying away from celebrating Nigeria's independence - it was surely not the extravagance of the occasion!

If Nigeria will ever grow, Nigerians must shy away from sentiment and embrace the rule of law. IBB reason not to attend the Nigeria’s independent celebration is acceptable to me. To attend or not to attend the silly fanfare such as Nigeria's independent celebration has insignificant bearing on the stature of IBB.

EzeUche0:
True. I really do not know where this man stands. However, as I look around at the people running, he seems to be the lesser of two evils. In a way, he reminds me of OBJ. OBJ didn't care about someones tribe like previous leaders, he only worried about obtaining power. The man was even enemy to his own Yoruba people making sure no one threatened his supremacy.

GEJ is good at giving carrots though. That plump position he gave to an Igbo man, was to shut us up. With time, he may become a tyrant. Now what type of tyrant is the question I most ask. Will he be a malevolent tyrant or a benevolent tyrant. Do not let his smile fool you though, he may play the fool, but this guy is very shrewd and calculating.

I am perplexed to read that OBJ did not care about someone’s tribe. Did you ask why AD suddenly disappeared from the surface of the earth?

EzeUche0:
I think GEJ may be the first detribalized leader. Hear me out. I don't think he cares much about the "South-South" or Southern Nigeria in general. Neither does he care about Northern Nigeria. He only wants one thing and that is power.

I would take a tribal political icon that obeys statutory codes and is guided by laid down policies and procedures over a detribalized GEJ who flagrantly flouts any code in paper on his way to grab power. Be mindful that a person with such political mindset would run over human beings to achieve his political ends.

koruji:
There is no glaring truth here yet. Only vested interests would see any glaring truth in what we have heard so far.

Your statements about the Aaron team actually puts the blame for the bombing on the faction of MEND that did not accept the amnesty program. That would be the team still loyal to Okah, right?

Why did IBB stay away from Nigeria's 50th anniversary celebrations? Please tell us the real reason if you happen to know, not the excuse of its extravagance that he gave us publicly - it doesn't hold any water.

Is there any constitutional provision that mandated every former Heads of State or Presidents of Nigeria, death or alive, must attend the yearly celebration of Nigeria’s independence?

Does the constitution of Nigeria not grant IBB inalienable right to do as he wishes under the law including shunning the invitation to attend extravagant 50th anniversary of Nigeria’s independence?

Anybody who cites the political maturation in USA with the political insanity found in Nigeria could face culpable criminal indictment punishable by death. So contributors you are thereby warned.

I am still a pro yoruba-igbo. but all i saw was selfishness from him.MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
onlytruth, the point is GJ stands for not just ss but for southern nigeria and the minorities oppessed in the north and Nigeria as a whole. GJ will create a situation where anyone can contest from any ethnic group without the fear of begin crowded out. This is the time to act in honesty. A particular group of people cannot be an over-lord on us!

GEJ stands for no apparent political philosophy. He is a desperate opportunist who does not understand policy and procedure. Southern Nigeria does not worth more than a piece of paper it is written. Southern Nigeria does not exist socially, politically, economically or culturally.

It is very laughable for anyone to yarn about honesty in Nigeria. And the absurdity of such request goes melancholic with sentence in bold. May I ask what happened to honesty in yesteryears Nigeria?

Nigerian leadership is a bunch of fools desperate enough to do anything to stay in power. Anybody who believes these set of morons led by GEJ would successfully investigate high school pranks with intellectual dexterity is a drooling fool.

. below "you means ojukwu"
The bold statement above is one of the daftest comment i have ever seen. You fought the North, they were winning, you decided to come Westward, we blocked you and you said that was unfair. you decided you wanted more territory and oil, the ijaws said No.

To conclude, i change my mind. I hope Nigeria does not split into North and South but North, West, East and South. Its greed that would destroy "Southern Nigeria".
I just hope you wouldn't cause if you do try to invade, you know the rest.

It is unfortunate you have a post bereaved of any deductive reasons to your handle’s name. Even a drunken camel driver from Northern region of Nigeria could not have insinuated the civil war was between northern and eastern regions.

As for your goofy scenario of 1 defeating 2 in your previous post, I would love for you to cite an example.

@MrPrsdent

I stand corrected. Pray then, tell me what part of the country he hails from, thanks !

I perceived your previous posts were mockery of Chief Mbu’s lack of the facts. I must say you were not one of “the Elementary pupils with a Social studies class knows the story about the first Coup”.

Ndigbo should forget about the inutile presidency of the cesspit called Nigeria and concentrate on the means to disintegrate the colonial contraption as well strategize on measures to defend Alaigbo and neighboring Ibibio, Annang and Ogoni in case peace gives way to chaos.

@jason12345 and T9ksy

I thought Biafra fought Nigeria not Yoruba land. Well if few folks on the nairaland are tempting Biafrans with silly talks such as “arse kicking” and “try to invade Yoruba land again”, I say it still will not amount to a contest if the conflict was exclusively between Western region and Eastern region or even between Northern region and Eastern region for that matter.

Biafra was capable of defeating Western region as well Northern region all of Nigeria on one-on-one combat.    These statements are not spurred by the unfounded sentiments or silly aggrandizement but experience.

Oh well, a word of advice matey. Don't point your gun westward as u'll get your arse kicked, AGAIN!!!

Were you drunk when you wrote the post? I do not think it could have been a contest if the civil war was between regions instead of three and half regions against half a region.
