I guess Nigerians are docile to the injustices meted to them by the privileged ones due to lack of permission to bear arms. How could reasonable people live in full sight of members of National Assembly gifted Lexus 570 SUV when the masses cannot afford ordinary bread?

Ruled for almost 30years, then want to pull out after just 2years of staying out of power?
Brain is paining you.
Just the way Northern Nigerians reason

I do not see anything wrong with the bolded. Ethiopian government should let them go please. This unnecessary fracases breed internal hatred. If the Tigrians were allowed to go very peacefully, there exist serious mutual co-operations in feature.

Why are Africans this holistically foolish? If the people Tigre want to form a country, the Ethiopian government should encourage them to do so not besiege them with war.

GBTYO:
Lol who your Sandhurst training epp?

Murtala took out an Igbo General and scores of Igbo officers.


Yeye.

A dumbass fool with gun can take out any Field Marshall talk less a General. Do you know why the boys and girls in military uniform are called soldiers? By the way, unlike Nzogwu, Anuforo, Nwobosi, Ifeajuna during purge, Murtala Mohammed was not even ten miles to the scene of debacle in Ibadan. As usual, he was hiding away in Lagos so that capable soldiers can do his bidding.

AlexBells:
Include Nigeria as an Igbo Agenda because that's what it is

Does the ninny realize Nigeria should also be included in Igbo agenda if Ironsi, 1966 coup and Biafra makeup the rank?

GBTYO:
Olodo, you never opposed it when Ironsi announced it because it bennefited you

When Murtala chased you out of power and continued with the decree 34 you started claiming injustice.

Why was decree 34 not opposed and resisted by you Igbos when your fellow Igbo dictator issued it?

Answer me straight and stop using Aba made Taqqiya .

Boy, are you okay? It is only in Nigeria a soldier in the capacity of Murtala Mohammed would be allowed to command a company. Due to his uncle and nepotistic tendencies of NPC, Murtala Mohammed rose to the rank of T\Major without being a commander of ordinary platoon. An Igbo boy who was an underclassman with him at RMA, Sandhurst, UK bested him and his fellow northern goons on pass out.

GBTYO:
Are you avoiding to address why you decided to drag Niger Delta into your useless mini Nigeria ?


Why did Adaka Boro fight to leave Nigeria and who quashed his movement!


Also can you tell us the reason why Western Cameron demanded through plebecite to leave Nigeria ?

They cited Igbo arrogance and over bearing sectional domination over them.

Abi you wan deny this one as well?

Yeye

People have ulterior reason do anything. You too have reasons to post above craps. The above question should go to Nigerian government during era in discuss. The remote reason was British gave them the opportunity to join their so-called brothers in greater Cameroon. The referendum was not organized by Ndigbo. People in the same mold of character as you will never fail to blame Ndigbo for anything in shithole called Nigeria.

GBTYO:
Was he not forced to resign his position because of his support for the creation of Calabar Ogoja- Rivers region?


Keep lying to yourself

He was never forced to resign. He lost election to a headmaster in his constituency which spelt obituary on his political career. Please stop loading up on innuendoes.

GBTYO:

My friend , you dragged the Niger Delta with you in an annexation bid when you lost the center to fulanis .


Why didn't you carry your Igbo parts alone but dragged ND into your madness?


I tell you now that if you had not truncated the regional govt and abolished the autonomous nature of regions, your eastern region which would have shrunk to your five Igbo states would have been the poorest region in Nigeria.

This is why when I tell any of you Igbos to declare your biafra in your [b] 5 contigious states, [/b]you begin to insult us in the Niger Delta as a non tribe or inconsequential nation.

Why drag is then into your Judaic Utopia?

Ndigbo have never lose anything to Fulani not even an inch of sand. The above post showed Nigeria has internal academic problem.

GBTYO:
Shatap

The military governors did not have or excersice powers up to their civilian counterparts

The real power was now firmly under Ironsi as Supreme Military Council chairman.

This was a supreme military dictatorshio under Igbos.

Ironsi defended his decree by stating it was the only way to keep Nigeria one and united.


Can you explain what led to Adaka Boro's movement to leave Nigeria entirely ?

Can you explain why Zik forced Chief Eyo Ita to resign as Speaker of the eastern Parliament and from there have his Igbo majority declare him speaker ?


The Igbos wanted full control of eastern Parliament so as to prevent a motion by the minorities for a new separate province.

Now contrast with how the Yorubas respected themselves and allowed Mid West region to be created out of the western region.


You Igbos can continue lying to yourselves .

Bro please get your facts straight so that we can have intelligible discussion. Chief Eyo Ita was never a speaker of eastern house of assembly.

GBTYO:
The igbo will never support fiscal autonomy.


That is the reason why they carried out the Jan 15 coup .

With COR region about to be created just as mid western was carved out from western Nigeria, the Igbos out of greed to control the newly discovered oil wells staged a coup and ushered in their decree 34 .


This is the truth.

What nonsensical fiscal autonomy are you about? Ndigbo presently campaigned to secede from entire shithole called Nigeria and you are on this forum talking audio fiscal autonomy. I am not for Biafra but Republic of Igbo land. I do not have any intention to have bunch of fools as compatriots. The last thing I hope for my people is to have a repeat of Nigeria. Never!!!!! However every Igbo son and daughter knows the delimited boundary of Igbo land. It is absolutely non-negotiable.

GBTYO:
You just cheery picked the clause that suited you argument.

What of the end of regional governance and in it's place a powerful military dictatorship ?


You Igbo people

Have you seen dreamt of any fool who abolished a regional government yet appoint regional governors? How do Nigerians reason for the sake of posterity? There were the governments of northern, western, eastern and Midwestern regions led by governors appointed by the Ironsi. How on intelligent earth can anybody insinuates the termination of regional governments yet regional governors? Regional government in Nigeria was killed by the creation of states.

GBTYO:
Alexbells if Igboland is so self sustaining why is it so difficult for you Igbos to talk of a separate nation without the ND?

I will let you know that the east is as parasitic as the north .


Your states are barely functioning despite the huge allocations received from the Federal purse despite adding next to nothing to it.

Ebonyi State has borrowed so much money from Sukok banks in lieu of Oil receipts from the Niger Delta that it can be considered to be now owned by these Sharia banks.

The only way Ebonyi can repay that loan is through federal allocation which the FG is serving as guarrantor
Same thing with failed states like Osun which are owned by the banks


Buhari is approving loans for both eastern and western states so as to make them bonded fully in the Nigerian project.

SW and SE dare not leave Nigeria since there is no way to pay their huge loans.

It is through this financial baiting that the north is using to guareantree your allegiance to one Nigeria.

Every other thing nah wash.


And as I said earlier in another thread, Igbos will align with the fulani to stop the seccesion of Niger Delta from Nigeria

You did it before in 1966 and so we expect nothing less from you.

The bold clarified you as a typical Nigerian. They fly funny certificates yet they cannot decipher elementary geography. The silly ND in post, I hoped remotely meant Niger Delta, has Igbo land is integral part of it. I personally canvased and will continue to seek the Republic of Igbo land. Many idiots in Nigeria always think of crude oil as if it starts and ends the world. There are super economies in the world without a pint of crude oil. In 10 years time, Nigeria and its crude oil shall be rendered irrelevant. The northern elites are on the verge of completing a strategic plan where crude oil shall be siphoned to Niger Republic from Nigeria for storage which caution the economic blow from the change to electricity as readily source of power instead of fossil fuel. I guess you keep dwelling on the silly Niger Delta.

GBTYO:
Of all the decrees enacted in Nigeria, none is more controversial than Decree No 34 of 1966. It was promulgated on May 24, 1966 by then Head of State, Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi (1924-1966) . It was called Unification Decree while some critics at that time labelled it the De-unification Decree.
It was the decree that started the death of regionalism – an issue which is still generating controversy till now. Although the next head of State General Yakubu Gowon repealed the Decree 34 on August 31, 1966 through Decree 9, a large portion of the Decree is still effective till today.
General Gowon further compounded it by promulgating Decree 14 of 1967 which broke Nigeria into 12 states and provided for military governors for each state. With Decrees 34, 8 and 14 regionalism was finally buried.

Decree No 34 was never controversial except for people in the same level of intellectualism as you. Decree No 34 established a sense of uniform in public service and a categorized levels for civil servants. It is ironic that the categorized civil servant system established by Decree No 34 is being used in Nigeria till this date. The Decree No 34 snatched away the nepotistic template used by the native authorities to fill the public service with their cronies especially in northern and western regions. The opposition for Decree No 34 stemmed from fear and hatred the people from certain parts of Nigeria had for the Ndigbo. They foolishly theorized it was a mean which Ndigbo baked to dominate Nigeria. Decree No 34 has nothing to do with silly theory of unitary government but merely unification of public service.

By 2025 or 2030, vehicles in UK will cease to use derivatives of crude oil as source of power. In 10 years, Nigeria and its crude oil shall become irrelevant. I honestly believed most Africans are not smart.

Rugaria:
Adaka was trained at UNN where he was voted by mainly Igbo students to become the student Union leader. He never saw the fact that most of his supporters were igbos but will later blame the same igbos for not supporting him because he was not igbo. Same kind of mentality with Ken Saro wiwa. Borro was later killed by Adekunle while the two were fighting the Igbo together and his people kept mute! Lesson: the eastern minorities always magnify their differences with the Igbo to the extent that they ALWAYS tolorate worse treatments from the greater Nigeria just to put these "arrogant igbos" in their place! So? Don't mind them! Even if you kill yourself for them, they will still find faults.. Let them marinate in their one nigeria..

It will never happen again. Some groups in Nigeria have been defined as expendable.

A Yoruba group had already awarded Wike the 2020 Man of the Year. Folks remember the GOC of 6th Division of Nigerians Army, Port Harcourt, Rivers State is a Yoruba man too. Ndigbo must know their enemy!!!

Major, Taiwo Ibrahim was one of the key figures in the Asaba massacre of October 7, 1967. And they said his son General Ahmed Ibrahim Taiwo ordered #LekkiMassacre.

I may not be right , please who order the killing

Yes, it does run in the blood.

Used and discarded!!!!

Something is definitely wrong with Nigeria and the current administration. Yoruba, Igbo and other ethnic groups in southern Nigeria should wake. Everything done in Nigeria and particularly northern region of Nigeria subtly uncovers a strategic plan.

Benue the new oil venue

I had say battleground instead. Some goons would even theorize small part of Idoma is now part of Kogi State and greater O or B Kingdom. Even few Idoma people migrated from Bini or Igala.

You would have become moronically intoxicated if it was "Black Lives Matter". Yet you forgot no human being is either Black, White, Green, Blue or Red. In most human forms though, some chose to play in the circle of ignorance. At least, Igbo is real and I say deal with it.

Which Ilorin did Yoruba lost 90% in Ilorin are Yoruba and they strongly identify theirselve as Yoruba, because Nigeria is a country and everyone has right to live wherever they want to that's why Fulanis emir is in Ilorin today, just as you have Eze ndigbo all over Nigeria and abroad. Let say Nigeria breaks today, even Fulanis knows that automatically they becomes foreigners in Ilorin. FYI the emir of Ilorin has no land and lands are owned by families also the Fulanis is using not only Political power also resources from oil etc to maintain that emir sit in Ilorin. Go to Ilorin and investigate and see some Full blooded Yorubas defending the emir sit for the Fulanis because of the massive money Fulanis is pumping into their pockets, let see how long they can keep maintaining it.

This is a dumbass illogicality. The so-called Eze-Ndigbo all over Nigeria does not have a kingdom. The Emir of Ilorin has Ilorin Emirate as his kingdom before the arrival of the British.

Correct and Akanbi had 7 Children but most of the time Akanbi's 7 Children are described as Oduduwa's own . It is a Cultural thing. a man can claim his Grandchildren as his own because they are his heirs.

Arrant nonsense!!!

If you are not expecting this you are out of this world. I feel sorry for Nigeria before that. I'm wondering where money is going to come from.

Most Africans are dunces. The Biden in US had hinted 2025 as the time to phase out petrol-powered vehicles in US yet most foolish Nigerians want such person in power. When will African learn how to play politics?

Christistruth00:
It does , the first Oba of Efon Alaaye was said to be Oduduwa's second son and was the brother of the Oba and founder of Ado Ekiti and Oranmiyan first king of Benin and Oyo. The Ekiti people themselves were mainly of ancient Igbo Stock just as the Owu,(Obasanjo's Clan),Ijebu,Ilaje,Ijesha,Akoko, and most Igbomina.

Fake news from the usual source. According to real books, Oduduwa had only one son and his name was Akanbi.

Tribal bigots ruined the other thread for us, so I made this one because I wish to educate others on how we Yoruba Ijaws came to be.



Ondo State is unique because we are a lot like the mid-belt region of Nigeria.

There are so many tribes in Ondo state that it is ridiculous, and many believe this is why the ekitis could leave the state so easily.

I'm not here to talk of other tribes though, I'm here to talk about the Ijaw Apois and ijaw arogbo.

these two groups are the indigenous ijaw groups of Ondo state.

l myself am from Gbekebo, and I'm an Ijaw apoi by extraction.

From the way my father described it to me, we migrated from one of the ijaw state to the Lagos coastal areas hundreds of years ago.

During the slave trade era however, a lot of us moved to the Ondo coastal areas to escape capture and to farm.

those farms gradually built-up as more family members moved in and we eventually occupied what is today recognized as Apoi land. This is why we speak a dialect of Yoruba with a mix of our original ijaw dialect.

I hear the Ijaw arogbos however migrated directly from bayelsa to start living with us apois once our community was prospering. which is why they still retain their original dialect from bayelsa.

Keep in mind that this is a guess, but I'll say we make about 7-12% of Ondo state's population.

this is a ridiculous percentage when you consider that there are over 15 recognized tribes in Ondo state alone.

We don't control the state because the Ondo, Ilaje, and owo people wield more influence than us. we are however the fourth most influential group in the region.

the only reason Akeredolu even became governor is because his deputy is an ijaw man. By the normal arrangements, the next governor will come either from us, the akure people, or from the Ikales.

the majority of us see ourselves as just another Yoruba tribe because of how long we've stayed there, but recognize our own uniqueness enough to distinguish ourselves.

To the average Ondo ijaw man, we are both Yoruba and Ijaw.

As usual, your father told you a wrong story. There was nothing such as Ijo state hundreds of years ago. What are known as Ijo today were the European porters from the Akwapim-Togo region.

The surprise of all these is that Oyigbo indigenes say their land is called Oyigbo, Igbo migrants say the place is called Obigbo.

HRH Eze Nwogu, Eze Oha 1 of Obigbo refused to have his community ceded to Rivers State in 1976. Instead he relocated to Owaza in Ukwa West LGA in order not to live under Rivers State. The sign post of Oyigbo for Obigbo came in 1977 when Obigbo was part of Bori LGA. It is funny so-called minorities in Nigeria tend to shout about be dominated but would not waste a minute to grab another peoples' land when given slight opportunity. The only migrants in Obigbo are useless characters in your form.
