[quote author=~Bluetooth]we dont need to wait for any breakup.The mass exodus of ibos from Yorubaland can start anytime but the issue is that are ibos willing to live our land and where are they going back to ? [/quote]I suggest you shut your putrid loudmouth before somebody shuts it for you. Do you think you can eat your cake and have it? If I may ask you, what bloody land are you talking about? The jittery legged forbearers of yours sold every land there is except for one plot you call home yet you are blabbing about land. I guess you do not want to be occupied.

alj harem: Abuja indigenes are Asokoro people, they are a very tiny group of people living in the hills of aso rock, Thus it is very easy to bully them as the case of Babangida.

Are you insinuating the accommodating mode of Yoruba people is due to magnanimity and that of Asokoro’s cowardice?

oduasolja: i hope u igbos are not planning your independence with non igbo land like the last time. all of us have a stake in non igbo oil. so stay put to ala igbo.

You are a debilitating jackass. There is a very good chance you will drown in crude oil. The Republic of Igbo land will have no intentions whatsoever to annex lands belonging to any ethnic group unless when long throats show up.

Most of these ass-wipes seemed to constantly get intoxicated on emptiness and vanity. The people who are native to Abuja probably seemed not accommodating if one has to follow the goofy illogicalities demonstrated by dubious writer named Sam Omatseye in the alleged article accredited to him.

The incessant presence of ill-motivated articles such as the one credited to hack writer named Sam Omatseye remains a compelling factor to disintegrate Nigeria. I really want to see Lagos flourish within the aisles of Yoruba land only.

God, please forbid the bad thing. Yoruba peep’s hunger for money had led to the death of a MON. After watching the Yoruba people denigrate others on the love for money, I am stunned to read that Yoruba can not only run mad but kill because of money (owo).

kingoflag: Old man go get a life instead of coming online everyday battling with kids your Grand Children's age. Aren't you ashamed you always seem to find a way to sound stupider than people you're older than by at least 45 years?

kingofool the puppy


It is good to notice my superior argument has turned you into a dysfunctional dimwit. If your speculation of the time I have already spent on earth is remotely correct, there is a very good chance your mother warmed my bed while I lived in Palm Grove, Lagos State and her waist-end was really hammered. Whenever you idiotically speculate my age, I remember the good old days I had with your mother before your jittery legged father arrived onto the scene.

Kanto: What makes me so happy is that no matter the long stories by pimps and cockroaches here Ojukwu has been vindicated by the predicanment of nigeria today. Yorubas have been crying for a sovereign national conference, middle belters are asking for a sovereign national conference, south south is asking for a sovereign national conference, everyone is now seeking a return to aburi accord. nigeria is a failed state lacking in the most basic infrastructure and boko haram wants to islamise the whole nation.

Nigeria under the leadership of the hausa-yoruba since the end of the civil war is the most corrupt country in the world and the biggest failed state in the world. Very soon boko haram will extend their religious war to the south and nigeria will face fire. Ojukwu has turned out a prophet who has been vindicated. I dey laugh o!

The alleged cry for a sovereign national conference by Yoruba toward present state of Nigeria is purely crocodilian in nature. The present socio-politico-economic situation Nigeria favors the Yoruba land. The jittery knees have megacity built for them through Republic of Nigeria’s coffers.

I hope the so-called moronic minorities in the eastern region are awake and watching. If you watch the political demeanor of the Yoruba peeps, the only political endeavor that gives them sweaty nightmare is serious talk of disintegration of Nigeria. I had wished the Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri, Nupe, Tiv etc would build political courage to agree to the disintegration of Nigeria.

I really want to see mutual and competitive environment or relationship exist among nation states after Nigeria.

kingoflag: Dude, abeg just shut up if you don't have anything better to add than lies. You're so freaking irritating.

kingofool

I would have love for a scoundrel and son of jittery knees such as to produce any personal letter Gowon wrote to his field commanders such as Adekunle or Obasanjo. I hate the loudmouths and their offspring with passion. If they are not cooking a childish lie about Fajuiyi wanting to die with Ironsi, they are surely conjecturing a devilish and feel-happy essay which paints them as suckers.

kingoflag: You lot are just going round and round in circles. You want to Know Ojukwu's Intentions if he had gotten Lagos? Well, decide after reading this.



LETTER FROM LT.COL. OJUKWU TO LT. COL.BANJO

22nd AUGUST 1967

From: The Military Governor,

Republic of Biafra Enugu,

22nd August, 1967.

My dear Victor,

1. For some time now, you and I have been discussing the circumstances that have led to the current and inevitable disintegration of what was the Federation of Nigeria. We have been fully convinced that the aim of the Hausa/Fulani complex has ever been, and will ever remain, the total domination of every other part of what was known as the Federation of Nigeria. It is impossible to forget that the crisis which led to the army take over in January 1966, the coup of the Northern soldiers led by Gowon in July 1966, the wholesale and indiscriminate massacre of the people of what is now Biafra- and, to a less degree, the people of the Mid-West and West, including the Yorubas, were all the direct result of Hausa/Fulani attempt to subjugate and use as tools, the gallant people of Western Nigeria namely the Yorubas. We do not need to remind ourselves of the heavy losses in life and property suffered by the Yoruba people in their fight for justice and freedom during 1965.

2. Sharing.our belief that the people of Yorubaland have a right to live a life of equality and self-respect and justice free of domination and dictatorship from any quarter, you have both identified with the cause of the Biafra struggle for survival and expressed your determination to see the people of Yorubaland freed from Hausa/Fulani domination.
We, the people of Biafra, for our part are willing and have decided to give you and the people of Yorubaland every assistance to achieve your aim.

3. After clearing the whole question with my Executive Council, I, as the Commander in Chief of the Biafran Armed Forces, have decided to place at your disposal Biafran forces, for the liberation of
Yorubaland on the following clear conditions:-

(i) You will have nothing to do with the Military Administrator in the Mid-West Territory during your sojourn there prior to your move to the West.

(ii) The willingness and preparedness of Biafra to assist any part of the former Federation of Nigeria wishing and willing to liberate itself from the Hausa/Fulani domination, does not in anyway whatever
imply any inclination on her part to compromise her sovereignty or preserve what remains of the defunct Federation of Nigeria. In other words, our sovereignty and break with Nigeria is irrevocable. Nothing must, therefore be said or done by you or any member of the Liberation Army to give a contrary impression.

(iii) Biafra is determined to maintain and safeguard her sovereignty and ensure that her integrity and safety are never again threatened.

(iv) Biafran troops will, after the liberation of the Yorubaland, remain in that territory only for as long as we in Biafra consider it necessary for the Yorubas to consolidate their position and sovereignty against any external threat.

(v) On the liberation of the Yorubaland, you will be appointed as the Military Governor of that territory.

(vi) The liberation of Western Nigeria will be a prelude to the liberation of all Yorubas up to the River Niger and the severance of all connections between the West and the North at Jebba.

(vii) During the period of Biafrans troops’ presence in your territory, all political measures, statements or decrees shall be subject to the approval, in writing by myself or on my authority.

(viii) Should our troops arrive and liberate Lagos, the government of the Republic of Biafra reserves the right to appoint a Military administrator for the territory. Such an Administrator will remain in office until a merger of that territory with Yorubaland is effected by Biafran troops.

(ix) As soon as possible after your appointment as the Military Governor of Western Nigeria and separation of that territory from Nigeria, you and I must meet to discuss:

(a) the duration of stay of Biafran troops in your territory;

(b) the areas and subjects of cooperation between the liberated sovereign states of Western Nigeria, or by what name it may call itself, and Biafra.

4. I do not need to remind you that Biafra regards all Yoruba as friends. As such everything should be done, to ensure the minimum force and loss of life are involved in achieving the objective of liberation.

5. It is essential, in order to avoid misunderstanding or confusion, that all subsequent requests for support be formally made to me by you in writing.

6. Will you please signify in writing, your acceptance of the above conditions so that you may leave for Western Nigeria and lead the army of liberation.


Yours very sincerely,

signed Lt. Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu,

Military Governor and Commander in Chief of Biafran Armed Forces.

The above conjectural drivel is borne out of shame and cowardice. On August 8, 1967, Col Banjo, as the divisional commander of 101, and other brigade commanders were issued order to take Lagos through mid-western region. Why would the commander in chief write a personal letter to a field commander on subject matter of war and reconstruction 14 days later?

Where is the seal of Biafran Coat of Arm on the letter? All communications between head of state and field commanders were channeled through the army headquarter. Please can someone tell Yoruba peeps that they decided to create enmity between Yoruba and Ndigbo by opting to fight alongside northern region and no amount of idiotic shenanigans can change the situation?

It is utter stupidity to create a ministry of Niger Delta. What stops the idiotic Nigeria from creating ministry of Jos Belt, ministry of Enugu Hill, ministry of Ijebu Ode farm, ministry of Ayaragu gardens, ministry of Osogbo timber and ministry of kano nuts?

Fools always think about foolish things. Is there any benefit in having a “city gate” in Abuja? I guess the moronic numbskulls should also think about the padlocks too.

T9ksy: @ bolded, you should look in the mirror, ol' boy.

Ojukwu knew about the Jan. 15 coup, so too did Ironsi and fajuyi.

I still maintain that[b]you are damn pathological LIAR.[/b]

Forget about the messenger for a second if you can and deal with the message instead.

Was Gowon lying when he said "ojukwu would have ruled nigeria had he taken Lagos"?



Oh btw, am still waiting (patiently)for your evidence that conclusively show that NCNC won the 1951 regional election in yorubaland.

Do you expect dede1 to ruminate on the above conjectural crap? Anyway, what does one expect from whiner who denied even hearing about “carpet crossing” in western regional house of assembly.

I guess a dunce will take offence and possibly stone a person who equates art of knowledge to art participation. It is not lost on me that Yoruba people, due to their chameleonic demeanor, can deduce that Ojukwu was a participant in the coup that saw off Tafawa Balewa’s government.

You are a babalowo extraordinary as to determine which senior Nigerian army officer who knew about January 15, 1966 coup. It is will not be out of place if I join your state of delusion by saying that Ogundipe, Adebayo, Wey, Adefope, Peter, Imo, Eze, Bassey, Nwawo, Gowon, Korubo, Njoku and Awunnah knew about the January 15, 1966 coup.

[quote author=Okija_juju]Unfortunately I dont dream..

And getting support from foreign allies is called a tactics of war... And stop acting like Biafra didnt have foriegn support either.. They were outmanuvered by the Nigerians.. Accept it like a man, thats the first step to healing.. God knows I have.[/quote]You are a very daring character. Do you actually understand the meaning of word-tactics? It is only in your goofy world a support because of crude oil, assumption a leader is not smart and the perpetuation of nonsensical giant of Africa on clay legs is termed tactics. Do you, for a moment, think about the ceding of Bakassi to Cameroon? Anyway, the people of Bakassi have lamented and cursed too. I hope you and your family are not included the in curse the people of Bakassi had rightfully placed on those responsible for their agony and suffer.

T9ksy: You are a damn LIAR!!!

I do understand you hail from the stock of people noted for treachery, lying, conniving, and cowardice. I shall not be surprised if you cook up one example of Ojukwu’s participation in executing of a coup in Nigeria.

There is nothing I have not heard from you including Biafran air force bombing of Onipanu.

alj harem: ^^^^^^^

Ewu meee Dele, keep trying to rubbish you superior. Ken Saro Wiwa would forever be held higher than Ojukwu in the minds of an average Nigerian anyday anytime. No matter how much you try to bastardise his legacy just as your fellow Igbo goons did to Awolowo. His struggle speaks for it's self. His achievement to bring Ogoni to the lime-light of Nigeria and indeed the world is there for us to see.

I am not even dragging this one

Here is Ken's protest reaching the US, which protest in Nigeria got to that extent during the time of low media coverage ?

http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/1995/apr/20/the-case-of-ken-saro-wiwa/

I guess a douche bag such as you think I give a ratarse how high you held Ken Saro Wiwa. Ken Saro Wiwa could have been my senior in age but not superior in any stretch of imagination, not even with Nigerian standard.

I knew Ken Saro Wiwa personally not based on craps written about him on the pages of obscure newspapers. I attended this same high school as his two younger brothers. It is funny when some goofy writer ascribe to Ken as real estate mogul. I wonder which real estate Ken Saro Wiwa was buying and selling in Gokana. Chief E Kobani helped the dingbat to secure a position of commissioner in Rivers State under Spiff which made it possible for the loudmouthed ingrate to enrich himself with the proceeds from the abandon property in Port Harcourt.

Nigeria needs to be wiped or disintegrated so I can not have loonies such as you as a compatriot.

ilugunboy: Bros...have you even been happy for once in you miserable life...I will suggest you go out, get some chicks to rim you..give you some nice eating of your balls.... play with your dicck. Generally, sow your wild oats ...just enjoy life and leave behind this your obsession with the "cesspit" that never leave any of your post.



Now.its more than apparent that eledalo olodo and Dede1 are one and same. I will set the Admin on you now. Eledalo will have to go..cos its the new variant of you.

I guess your mother taught you good on how to play with your dicck. Only an Ilupeju swine such as you will remotely insinuate that eledalo and dede1 are one and the same. Unlike silly mooncalf such as you, there is no pint of treacherous blood that flows in my veins. Please can you inform what you gain by running multiple forum IDs, olodo

Jamisco: Is only that people naturally dont want a truth. Ojukwu masterminded the division of Nigeria and Gowon said no. the killing in the North and especially the NC is a just one of the challenges the Bible says Jesus followers will experience, it has nothing to do with the Biafra war. but if you claim that its Gowon's punishment, then asked your brothers from the North and they will tell you the numbers of Igbos that were killed since the Jos crises started and the billions of naira the lost. what we need now is not to push blames but to come together in prayers, supporting Gowon's initiatives so that we can overcome our enemies.

I do not understand what you meant by these goofy statements such as “Ojukwu masterminded the division of Nigeria and Gowon said no” and “what we need now is not to push blames but to come together in prayers, supporting Gowon's initiatives so that we can overcome our enemies” You sure sounded like an enemy. Ojukwu never participated in any coup d’état in Nigeria but such statement could not be used to describe Gowon.

manchy7531: Ogonis are in fools paradise. What happened in 1967? The ghost of 1967 will haunt u people forever. U had ur chance n u refused to take it because of ur self hatred. Those that u loved in 1967 will subjugate u for a thousand years

If ogoni will ever be free BIAFRA will be free first, if they value freedom why did they fight against BIAFRA? Who are they running away from?

Bros, please pedal softly on the Ogonis because majority of them pitched their tent with Biafra. There were stalwarts from Ogoni such Dr I kogbara and Chief Kobani who stood up Biafran flag in faraway places like London. In fact, Dr Kogbara was Biafran ambassador in London.

Till today, the majority of Ogoni people never regretted the idea of Biafra. Do not use the ills committed by abandon property thieves such as Ken Saro Wiwa to visit majority of Ogoni people who were refugees in Orlu until after the war.

[quote author=Okija_juju]The same Biafran Army of 1967 abi we don get new one?![/quote]In your imbecilic wildest of dreams, do you think Nigeria, even with numerical advantage, would have defeated Biafra without unconditional military and diplomatic supports from Britain, USSR, Egypt, Australia and Cameroon?

ilugunboy: Oga, I will suggest you read and try to digest news, rather than rushing to puncture all stories that doesn't sit well with you.

Sadism kills faster than Aids.

Both the writer of the alleged article, poster and you are moronic halfwits. There is a word in English language called “recommence”. The last time I checked though, Lagos or Ogun or Oyo or Osun State does not produce crude oil. Unless the goons are talking about hauling imported fuel from Apapa\Tin Can ports to northern region.

Also, the eastern corridor rail line does not pass through Minna in Niger State. So what is the garbage Mr. Adeseyi Sijuwade, the so-called managing director was talking about? At least, NRC probably has 200 locomotives which 75 -85% is junked. This nonsensical conjecture is child’s play plotted to keep fools such as you occupied.

I guess Nigeria is the only cesspit where a mangled rail track over a bridge stops operation for years. What a useless country. If you do not watch it, aids will get you before sadism.

Is this thread considered news? According to my record, NRC has been hauling fuel and crude oil to northern region since 1960s. It appears most Nigerians are disappointedly behind the curve.

oduasolja: u are a bleeping dummy. Nigeria started as a democracy , what happened to our democracy from which region did the officers that lead the first coup and murdered our prime minister and regional premiers and finance ministers and senior officers from other regions come from ? what was their ethnicity.


so if u want to talk of corruption and lawlessness start with the actions of your people the igbo officers.

stop spewing ur revisionist crap.

What has democracy got to do with a dumbass such as you? You will still remain conspicuously morose and dastardly confused if your mother attempts to explain the rigors of democracy to you.

oduasolja: first of all nigeria should never have been brought under military dictatorship.

people who organise coup choose who they want to lead them. they dont follow heirachy or anything stupid like that. so the soldiers who organised the coup have the right to choose who they want.

Of course, coup plotters usually chose among themselves who will lead. The fact remains Gowon had lied through his teeth that he was not a member of the coup plotters yet the evidence proves otherwise, olodo.

Act of precipitating coup is never legal and honorable act among discipline soldiers. Ojukwu opposed Gowon because Gowon and his clique of undisciplined soldiers from northern region were illegal.

Alusi Okija: Tisk! Tisk Tisk!!!!

You still are having those anger issues!! I hope you still have enough Valium & zanax to last you till 2015?!! lol

Anyways, Boko Haram does not justify Mossop. No matter how you try to make it sound, The fact that I killed someone with a gun does not make food poisoning any less of a crime as I have commited.

Boko Harams act is also high treason... And they all deserved to be gassed.

I guess you are not arrogating empty of importance to your silly self. There is no section of Nigerian constitution which prohibits the wearing of mementos talk less of treasonable felony. Any country with a population made up of goons such as you would definitely look like Nigeria.

Alusi Okija: Shoot them.

Thats a treasonable offense.

It is only in your world of knowledge or lack thereof that wearing memorabilia is regarded as treason. There are many people in USA that still fly the Confederate flag and no court has ever send anybody to jail. I seriously think Nigeria should go. By the way, do you actual understand the concept of treason?

Boko Haram has exhibited the act of treason yet certain moronic dingbat such as you have not shouted, “Shoot them Thats a treasonable offense”.

Alusi Okija: Gowon!! As much as most of what he said were lies, the one truth in that entire statement remains;



This has always been my position.

The gods are wise...

It is very unfortunate your position is based on absolute ignorance. In the military, the soldiers wear trust as they wore their uniform. Gowon lied through his teeth that he knew nothing about July 29, 1966 coup that eliminated his boss who threw him some bones. Yet Gowon and his colleagues who precipitated the coup found it very difficult to uphold the principles of Esprit De Corp.

Ojukwu’s decision remains that the July 29, 1966 coup was unsuccessful as in the case of January 15, 1966 coup because the east and mid-west regions were not under the control of coup plotters. Ojukwu insisted that military chain of command had to be maintained even if the head of state and commander in chief has been alleged missing.

Gowon’s actions after death of Ironsi were illegal and qualified for court martial. There was a chief of staff to supreme military headquarter in the person of Brigadier Olufami Ogundipe who was also superior officer to Gowon both in rank and enlistment, yet Gowon sheepishly followed the lawbreakers from the pool of soldiers from northern region to usurp the authority of head of sate and commander in chief.

Ojukwu was never a coward and ninnies such as Gowon can never scared him. What stopped Gowon from observing the military code of conduct which he sworn to abide?

The unprecedented corruption and lawlessness found in Nigeria are rooted in the actions of Gowon and soldiers from northern region of Nigeria in 1966. These crops of soldiers propagated everything that is wrong with Nigeria today.

Katsumoto: Dede1

You getting schooled again



@ TOPIC

So many ignorant comments on this thread especially from mimifonwon.

You are very funny. If display of ignorance in a public place is your form of schooling, you have a question to answer. The moronic poster does not even know the constituted authority during Ironsi’s regime.

Anybody who has watched Ojukwu’s comments very carefully will underscore the fact the Adebayo’s name rarely comes up. This is because Adebayo was not legally appointed military governor of western region after death of Ironsi and Fajuyi.

It is against any known military parlance that a mere Lt Col and relatively junior to Col will appoint the later to an office.

jp philips: now that you are stammering, lemme ask further, you have alluded that there were "Members" that decided Gowon will be head of state, and you think that the opinion of one rogue member will thwart the decision of the majority?
please explain that to us,

the way i see you, if they had managed to bury ojukwu without his pen!s, you would have been sucking it by now, or better still hang it in your living room as your new found oracle.

how can one person say no to the decision made by majority of men of equal status? please answer us in clear terms

Gowon was made by rogue group which precipitated an illegal act that was unacceptable in eastern region. Even Gowon or Adebayo or Ejoor or Katsina never doubted the fact that July 29, 1966 coup was a flop as far as eastern region was concerned. Ejoor has no troop and Adebayo has no command of soldiers in western region therefore have no intestinal fortitude to tell the Gowon and soldiers of northern region correct manner of conduct.

jp philips: please brief Nairalanders the context for which the above quote was made by you?

and elaborate further how Gowon emerged as the head of state (you can leave out ojukwu's fantasies from your answer), tell us in loud and clear terms the people that summoned that meeting and their individual positions?
explain further the bold part of your quote?
if there were members that you have already mentioned that took a unanimous decision as majority, explain how ojukwu's opinion should be relevant?

about the supreme military council, unfortunately for you that is what they call it in our time i may not be abreast with what you call it in your "ancient of days era"
i reserve no apologies for living in the modern times .

I am not interested in educating a jackass such as you on the issue of 1966 Nigeria. It is either you can not read or you have abject deficiency in comprehension. I wrote there was no formal meeting of constituted military executive because the Head of State and Commander in Chief Gen Ironsi along with another member of military executive council in Col Fajuyi were missing.

Even though some top military officers such as Gowon, Ojukwu, Ejoor, Ogundipe, Katsina, Johnson, Wey, Njoku and Acting IGP Kame Salam have know the faith of these men, general public was still loaded with rumors.

It is foolhardy on your silly part to navigate to a public place such as Internet and make fool of yourself by stating false statement as an object of factual fact. Supreme military council was a coinage of later day.
