I felt wowed by what other countries have built and I was looking for people with two heads who built these infrastructures. I couldn't see any two-headed people and I wonder why our case was different. When I came back especially at MMA, I was depressed! Since then I have been to all the continents except Australia and South America. Currently in North America!

Hailings my people. Relocation made solar a project I can only remember. Kudos, you guys are still moving solar technology forward!

PM express again

Or rather Nigeria should adjust their boundaries to exclude Biafra. Nonsense!

IWTBAB:
people dat refer to Nigeria as zoo, can quickly go and apply please.
make pigs carry dem wahala dey go.
Make we know how many of us remain for Naija

They should not make it a state affair but a regional outfit!

There is precedence!

helinues:
Are you going to deactivate your account if the judgement says otherwise?

The rerun that Ihedioha's lawyers couldn't convinced the judges before na now Dem want convince them?

The review is only for recommendation for future case.. Should the case be reversed, that means all dead long case will also eb seeking for review

It has happened several times before

michlins:
As much as the supreme Court knows their mistake with former judgement, they will be making a bigger one should they walk back from their earlier judgement. It will set a bad precedent and an endless cycle of judgement where the loser will keep coming back after a judgement

So get ready to pay up

Even though I despise the APC, this cannot be true. Gbajabiamila should have enough money to sponsor this without blinking and he doesn't look like someone that is reckless!

Maybe he will collect governor's pension...joker!

Nwodosis:
Even if Hope Uzodimma goes, he will update his CV as an Ex gorvernor of Imo state unlike David Lyon of Bayelsa state.

You saw the way the Arab world fought against Isreal? That's how the rest of Nigeria fought against Igbos out of hatred. When you're hated, it's just a matter of time before they bring fight to you. You ignorantly made people to believe that the Igbo people sat in a council or referendum and mandated Nzeogwu's team to carry out a coup. The fact that after killing Ironsi, they never reversed what he did means that's what they wanted all along. Even today, there is common hatred for Igbos because if things are done on merit, the Igbos dominate!

1966 Coup by Maj. Nzeogwu – The Biggest Mistake of The Igbo Military Officers & Political Elites


Whenever I read a new book on the January 1966 bloody coup that ended Nigeria’s first indigenous government led by Tafawa Belewa and Nnamdi Azikiwe, tears roll down my eyes.

Igbos lost so much after that unfortunate coup of January 1966 and the counter coup + civil war that followed. Imagine no matter how much an Igbo man or woman had in Nigerian bank before the war, they were given just 20 pounds after the war to start life with; courtesy of Obafemi Awolowo’s 20 pounds policy after the war.

Personally on my family side, my father had close to a million pounds in his bank account before the war, though he managed to take some back to his hometown before the war broke out, but he lost over 500,000 pounds after the war.

On my maternal side, my mom’s elder brother was a head engineer at Enugu railway station, he died in the war as a volunteer special Biafra forces that went to recapture Ebonyi from Federal forces with no weapon, they were only trained to fight with their bare hands to capture weapons from federal forces.

Now enough of my family story.

Nzeogwu had no reason, I mean no reason at all to carry out or lead the first coup of January 1966, and if at all their action was to be justified for any reason like to stop the Western Nigeria political crises between Awolowo and Akintola, then the manner in which they carried out the coup execution – killing Northern political leaders and some Mid-West and Western Premier, while abandoning the Igbo political leaders was the greatest mistake of the Igbo race!

Aguiyi Ironsi who was supposed to correct this mistake when he took over power after the coup made the most stupid mistake of not heeding to Ojukwu’s advice of executing the coupists to pacify the already angered and boiling Northern Nigeria heavily cooking up revenge. He wasted time trying to reconcile the boiling issue through regional tours and dialogue when the North already lost their key political leaders in the unfortunate coup.

The mistakes of Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, Anofuru, and co are the root cause of every predicament the great Igbo race are encountering in Nigeria today.

Igbos were completely in charge of Nigeria; from politics to leadership to military to trade, to business to almost every sector and were already the envy of other regions, so carrying out a coup was totally unnecessary when you were in charge, what else did you want

Before the coup and the civil war that followed, Igbos were the President (Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe), Igbos were the Senate President (Sen. Nwafor Orizu), the Chief of Army Staff (Maj, Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi), Head of Nigerian Military Intelligence (Maj. Chukwuma Nzeogwu), richest person in Nigeria & Africa (Sir Louis Odumegwu-Ojukwu), first Vice Chancellor of Nigeria who headed University of Ibadan (Prof. Kenneth Dike), and so many other things.

I am writing this to awaken all Igbo sons and daughters home and abroad, we must resist every attempt to repeat the same mistake we made in the 1960s that pushed us out of national political relevance and others in Nigeria, which is one of the reasons Igbo region is struggling with infrastructural developments compared to other regions.

Are you aware that Igbos were killed in the North in 1945 and 1953? That coup was just a necessary excuse. When US wanted to remove Saddam Hussein, they used the excuse of September 11 terrorist attack carried out by 80%
Saudis to attack Iraq but did nothing to Saudi Arabia. If you listen to Amadu Bello's comments,
he never hide his hatred for Igbos and his followers worshipped his views. Remember the Igbos were attacked in their homeland to start the war!

0m0nnakoda:
After Ironsi came to power

Did Igbos taunt the North
Yes or no?

Did they make offensive images,songs etc?

China is going through tough times of late but they are very resolute. They will be victorious!

Infrastructures can be built anytime infact late comers to development like China and UAE are building the best cities because its had to rebuild an old city due to resistance. Provide the human capacity is being developed, it takes a few years to build massive infrastructures. But the most important is to have a good political system like true federalism and healthy competition will create wealth!

CSTR2:
Build which infrastructure?
Which money do you have?
Do you have any igbo man on Forbes list?

Do you know the billions of dollars it would take to build an eastern wide speed rail or bridges?

Even people with wealthy folks are using Nigeria's resources to build their ethnic enclaves.

na unnecessary arrogance go be una undoing.

You this man....you just hold unto this fallacy like oxygen!

helinues:
Azikwe rejected the clause for any region to be out of Nigeria..

Meanwhile he did that to spite the Yoruba's not knowing it will come back to hunt his people.

Karma is a bae

Ogundipe was actually the next most senior officer after Ironsi. He should have taken over. Even Obj was practically forced by Danjuma to take over after Martala Mohammed was assassinated

itsme01:
when will some Ibos get a life and stop spreading fake news due to inferiority complex ? when.. if we open this same chapter some of you would weep bitterly and see how hopeless it might get for you in national politics

time and time again it has being shown through history and karma that it is always the greedy pigs that instigate issues that always pay bitterly with their bloods flowing everywhere, without any ray of hope, while God uses the calm to lord over them while they wail endlessly



.

You are too learned to be following the foolish seccession clause. Do you think we still use the constitution we had at independence? Even if a clause was there, that constitution has been thrown out! How can one man be the person that determines what goes into the constitution? Evem If there was seccession clause, that constitution wasn't used even in 1979 Second Republic

helinues:
You would have been dancing skelewu on this thread had been he said the power will remain in the north.

Your antagonize towards SW progress is what made Azikwe to bluntly rejected secession clause in the Constitution thinking he will do that to spite SW not knowing it will hold his people ransom in the future. Here we are with Biafra brouhahah

You guys are stepping on the same shoe by wishing power should remain in North.

Who are the real enemy of South now?

Are you wise at all? That constitution we had at independence has been abandoned. Even if there was to be a seccession clause in it, the whole constitution was jettisoned . We now use a military imposed fraudulent constitution. Was there no referendum in that constitution? Of course there was and midwestern region was created through a referendum, also Adamawa joining Nigeria. Where is the referendum in the constitution today? Will you now say Zik prevented referendum clause? Clause is made by people and can be re-made!

darediamond:
And That is The ROOT OF THE WHOLE TYRANNICAL EMPOWERMENT OF THE NORTHERNERS BY THE IGBOS.

If Zik had agreed to that Secession Clause, NEVER WILL NORTH HAVE THE GUT TO ALWAYS SAY "THE UNITY OF NI/GE/R/I/A is not negotiable.

You avoided the questions and yarning something else. Are you pretending to be unaware of El rufai's committee on restructuring and their report? Are you pretending to be unaware of Osibanjo attempt at restructuring Lagos but came into power and asking what's restructuring?
Why should a group of people depend on another for survival? Are Nigerian states not bigger than many independent countries? Nigerians are just lazy and cowardly to trust that they can create wealth from human capital and agriculture. Maybe you need to study Netherlands and point 1 mineral resource that's making them super rich

helinues:
People who are outside government see restructuring as something so easy to achieve..

Firstly, how many states are blessed with natural products?

Secondly, which of the 36 states in Nigeria performing close to 40%

Thirdly, the resources the states are currently having, how are they managing it Abi what's Bayelsa's doing with 13% oil cut with less than 3 million population.



How do you mean by that?, Are you saying SE have no reps and Senate representative to further restructuring course?



Don't just come online to be spreading propaganda. Who cares about irrelevant IPOB?

Other regions are too afraid to travel out of their enclaves

leke12:
The real enemies of restructuring .

They give 100% and receive 13%, that's slavery! monaco, Sao Tome, Malta etc are as small as Bayelsa yet they're countries so if Bayelsa was a country, will you give them 13%? Being in Nigeria is a fraud!

helinues:
Had been it was easy to do, OBJ could have done it in his 8 years as president.

Restructuring in Nigeria will take at least 15 years, that's only if the Nigeria states are ready to find a means of generating their own income instead of waiting for free oyel money..

Bayelsa state with population of 3 million have been receiving 13% cut on oil for how many years now? We are talking of billion of dollars.. Where are they? Any developments to show for it?

You just jump into the middle on a conversation hence your ignorance. Read the post I quoted first so you understand!

olamy7:
this is not true.. and it has never and will never be true, I will advice you change that thought now before it affects you in a bad way

So it means people who will go to heaven were predestined to. Hitler did nothing wrong because it was predestined. Satan did nothing wrong because it was predestined. Bokoharam are fulfilling predestiny. What a moronic thinking?

franchasng:
life is predestined, whatever will be will be; que sera sera...who you will marry is who you will marry, if you will die single or widowed or widower, you will. We can only wish otherwise in life, at the end, our destiny controls how our life panes out.


Many will argue this, but it's also because they are destined to argue this today

Check the news, even Donald Trump gave a broadcast

Equation89:
That's the reason why he have a minister of health which have also made a broadcast on this. Buhari as president can't be everywhere.

If he was having sex now people will say he was doing marathon sex or he died in active service

Let's sit down in a sovereign national conference and restructure this country instead of beating around the bush!

You know the truth but arguing unnecessarily

NGpatriot:
First, you asked for any international people commending Fashola for ebola defeat, but after showing and proving you wrong, you gyrated to where the buck stop?. What's next? What the weather was when ebola entered Nigeria?


Who cares who takes the blame or who the buck stop stopes with? This is about dedicated and competent private and public officials in Lagos state going above and beyond to save Nigeria from that deadly virus.

Do you really think the local and international folks and news media recognizing and commending Fashola for the successful defeat of Ebola in Nigeria are dumb and clueless and they don't know that we had a president or that the buck stops with the president?

You are not making any sense.

I am not IPOB. My first call is for restructuring but if it fails then Biafra. The buck stops at the president's table!

NGpatriot:
Now I see why you are so bothered and agitated. You are ipob..

No wonder.

When was the last time you and your kind used the phrase the buck stops with the president when we talk about his failure, incompetence and gross corruption under his watch?

You love him so much, you defend him left and right, but he did nothing for you, he did not even show up anywhere in your SE to commission ordinary gutter.

The joke is on you..

A president takes the blame as well as the praises during his administration. Lagos is only one entry point to Nigeria. Surely the FG must have done a lot. Even at that the bulk always stops at the president be it praise or blame! If a lot of people had died in Lagos, you won't mention Fasola

NGpatriot:
They actually did and I've posted an international news article to prove that and I'll even post more to counter the false narrative you are selling.

If your argument is that the president can not solely claim ebola defeat and success, then your argument and views should be against the OP for peddling that sentiment and comparisons between presidents.

Nobody in the international community will attribute Ebola defeat to Fashola just the same was nobody will attribute the kidnapping of chibok girls to Gov Shettima even though he was informed of the impending attack but did nothing. The president takes all credit and blame during his administration. You know these things so stop sounding ignorant!

NGpatriot:
[s][/s]

Shouldn't you first list the things Jona personally did to fight ebola?

Typical ipob rubbish, you mean jona took a break from his ogogoro drinking marathon and flew to Lagos to conduct tests, appoint and assign first responders, build containment centers in Lagos, distributed hand sanitizers and temp guns to schools or he was in front of Dr Stella Ameyo Adadevoh (RIP) fighting ebola.

It's like Trump claiming he defeated Coronavirus because the CDC is a federal government institution.

You people come up with the dumbest rubbish sha..

Nigerians don't like each other. Why other Nigerians are insisting Nigeria must be one is something I do not understand. Nigeria has outlive its usefulness. When people have deep seated trust issues and hatred, they should naturally separate. Nigeria cannot make progress so trying to sustain Nigeria is to sacrifice progress. Maybe this is what the majority wants.

LegendHero:
Okay going by this analogy now. Since you said the bitterness of the Igbos is justified based on the issue of 1967, should we Yorubas at this age fold our hand and accept the insult from your folks everytime without responding?

That was why I told you that it is what it is. Each tribe will defend their own especially when nothing unites us in this country called Nigeria.
