Biafra was one of the countries defeated by Britain. Biafrans bravely held their own for 3 years! All the talk about Nigeria defeating Biafra is just white wash. Britain staged, controlled, financed, and supervised the war.

Uniport should be ashamed of their socalled engineering professor.

SeverusSnape:
Why are they still harping on this issue?

It wasn't an Igbo coup, It wasn't a Yoruba coup too. IGBO and YORUBA officers participated in it. So no need to keep beating around the bush. As an insider, IBB has laid the matter to rest, Let everyone rest and move on.

Yoruba spent 50 years falsely calling it Igbo coup.

gidgiddy:
The January 1966 coup, which some mischief makers like to call Igbo coup, claimed less than 20 lives

The July 1966 coup led by Murtala Mohammed, claimed 300 lives. Yet Murtala Mohammed was put on the N20 note, has Airports and buildings named after him

Where's Omokri when the facts come out

Cowardigbos:
Only igbos are impressed

Paper weight tribe!

Igbo this, Igbo that.
Go take your medicine, e hear.

Writing a book, documenting your views and records is a good effort by IBB; love him or hate him. People who don't agree with IBB should either do a research and eventually write their own book. BTW, tell Gowon that the world is waiting for his own book.

Thiefobi1:
IBB is full of lies and misinformation.

How many people were killed by non-igbo officers in the coup.

Focus on the full list of the coup participants, asking for who killed who and by whom is ridiculous. By participating in a coup, one is automatically responsible for any killing. Unfortunately, and according your modern day wise men like Reno Omokri, Ignos killed all the nonIgbos, because he had to make it an Igbo coup----- in order to ensure his next meal.
If there's going to be an authority in the happenings of the Nigerian army, I would rather take someone like IBB over a drifter like yourself and Reno any day.
BTW, you can publish your own book on the subject in order to counter IBB- if you have balls. Otherwise shut the ignorant, uninformed, and lazy trap where all these are coming from.

LegendHero:
Where is the proof that they intend to release Awo from
prison during the coup?

If you want to install Awo, your initial plan must entail moving simultaneously to mud the premier and secure your VIP Awo.

I’m sure all of you parroting that don’t even believe yourself.

See what 50 years of misinformation has done to you.
Instead of believing someone like IBB and OBJ who directly and indirectly participated in the activities of the army at the time in question, sorry ass people like you would rather believe Omokri and FFK who are just looking for their next meal and were not even born by then.

Thiefobi1:
Ibo people and lies.

They claimed other tribe participated in the coup ok let agree with their lies for once.

How come only Ibo officers killed tafawa balewa, ahmadu bello, mimilari, okotie eboh, ademulegun, pam, akintola, and co.

I also believe awolowo would have been murdered if not that he was imprisoned.

And left aguiyi Ironsi, nnamdi azikwe, okpara, ojukwu, and other ibo leaders alive.


How many people were killed by the non-igbo officers who they falsely claimed participated in the coup

....another plate of pepper soup and small stout?

When people with fact and information are writing books and presenting account of events, people like you can only conjecture, speculate, and trivialize issues, because that's all you can do.

BigIyanga:
They didnt succeed in taking over the leadership of the country… so it was impossible to install Awo

Good luck trying to make a tribal dummmbbbb ass see reason.

LegendHero:
So where in all this tell why they want to suddenly do a James Bond, kill everybody else, and then install Awo as president?

So why did the coupist not release him from prison if their intention is to make him president?

If they are successful in killing the prime minster and other region premier, why did they not send someone simultaneously to take Awo out of prison since he is their primary purpose? Considering prison security will be less potent than premier security.

Here you go again, weaving a factually incorrect thesis based on your own myopic tribal sentiments. Not on facts, not on records, or even on authorities like IBB who saw the action up close and personally. Why don't you go write your own book subject to a scholarly verification and debate. Or, you can keep running away and hiding from facts like Gowon is doing at the moment. The only difference is that you are loud and WRONG

slimfit1:
Don't believe anything from IBB says, he is a sensationalist. The man has got nothing to offer us at the moment blame the dead that can't defend himself.

Listen to yourself.
What's IBB going to gain from Igbos at this time of his life?
What's his motive for not telling the truth?

LegendHero:
How did you suddenly turn this upside down to say IBB allege it was a plot to instal Awo?

Below is the English he used. He specifically mentioned “Those that argued it was not an Ibo coup”. Not that he (IBB) believe it was done to release Awo.

Anyone that believe Ibos will mud every other regional leaders and go and pick Awo to become premier by superimposing him on Nigeria like a king get mentalll problem.

So Nzeogwu and his gang mud Hausa/Yoruba leaders, then go and bring Awo and tell Hausa this is now your president when Awo himself is not a soldier with power to control the rowdy military.

Now, I know that despite so much noise, you, sir, can neither read nor write.
IBB says Igbo, but you read Ibo. Imagine what other points you are reading upside down.

Enugu prison should be the first to be relocated.

And you still dey wonder why they denied CDS visa?

If we force 1st class graduates into DSS, then 3rd class will go into medicine and engineering?

yarimo:
The incompetent governor in Nigeria has spoken

What sort of sick mind would have problems with improving road conditions in Nigeria, even if it's not in your neighborhood.

Soon, the officers go complain about Visa denial.

CXLVII:
What’s funny? That’s just the truth.

Canada will not fit to tie the lace of Nigeria if all things being equal. We have the human resource, natural resource, weather, and exceptional self driven citizens.

Why I said conditions. Canada cannot match if we get our art right for a decade.

Could have been, should have been is not the same as IS.
All these nonsense you listed maybe true, but people like you never raised objections when things that reduce us as a nation happens. We're happy it's not happening to us, our family, or our tribe. Nigeria is not a nation----- yet.
Don't compare us with countries that are nations where people fight for the good of the nation.

anonimi:
Are they Nigerian war veterans being honoured by Canada in Canada?
Or what is the connection

My question exactly. Why go to Canada to honor Nigerian war heros.
Another way to chop and chop?

Shawarmagirl:
Sharia Yoruba Muslims would rather twist the narrative to Igbo thread. Watch and see.

Haaaaaah!

Sex starved and deprived Nigerians focusing on wrong things like this is sad. How does this ladies dress help with security, power supply or price of a cup of rice?
Did she dress like to work or to your house?
Yoruba Hisbah police should give get a life.

numericalguy:
Mumu low budget propaganda like 0BIDIENTS

Una go just dey talk through Una smelly anus.
No be only by force na by coconut head.

We, Yorubas, happy and excited to be the sultan's slaves will look for ways to change this topic to IPOB and Obi.

tutudesz:
This message should be directed to those Yoruba leaders promoting Sharia Law in South West because they gave the Sultan the opportunity to open his mouth.
Can Imam Haroun Eze, who is from Alor-Agu in Igbo-Eze South LGA Enugu State, release such statement directed to South East?

We Yorubas are happy to be the sultans slaves, afterall we shall receive 72 virgins each!

Beginning if religious conflicts in Nigeria is starting, small small.

AMINDA:
To some Yorubas, it's smartness. To Northerners, it's a betrayal of trust.

How does a fervent unapologetic and unforgiving Fulani move on?
By pretending to have moved on while awaiting the opportunity for revenge.

80:20?
Wait till federal government through NPA would start poking their dirty finger into the business.

The governor's quick to absolve Fulani herdsmen . That speaks volume. Instead of the governor to focus on islamizing Ebonyi like his Oga Umahi, he's now making excuses for the killing of his own people. He could not even wait for the investigation to be completed, or better still wait for the sentencing of those involved after a rigorous court process.
Let's see who takes over these vacated villages.

naijaking1:
They are called paratroopers. You see his parachute?
Why's that even news?
Next, you will announce the first army general to successfully brush his teeth?

Mediocrity at its best!
If a general is celebrating parachuting off an aircraft, how's he going to lead the cadets, non commissioned officers, and other staff?
A general should be in charge of the paratrooper division with colonels, majors and captains under him. Am I missing something?

George Bush parachuted until he was 87, women parachute for fun, and small boys and girls jump out of moving airplanes for fun. How did we end up celebrating an army general who can parachute?

I knew this was coming!
Fulani attacks in Jigawa is called herdsmen vs cow rustler clash.
Fulani attacks in Plateau is called community clash.
Fulani attacks in Kaduna called religious clash.
Fulani attacks in Benue is called herdsmen vs farmers clash.
And Fulani attacks in Igboland are called?
ESN, ipob .

But Where's our police to get to the bottom of all these?
The answer will point you to the right direction.

Trash
The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, (NSCIA) are promoting the parochial Fulani ethnic agenda hiden under Islam, Pan Yoruba groups said on Thursday.

The groups in a statement condemned the recent statement by the Sultan that Sharia should be introduced in the South West.

The Alliance for Yoruba Democratic Movements, (AYDM) a coalition of 130 groups in the South West said for over 200 years, the Sultan has defended only the interests of his ethnic group and that the NSCIA is a dubious,decoy cover to realise the real agenda of ethnic subjugation in Nigeria.

The coalition in a statement signed by its General Secretary, Popoola Ajayi, Organising Secretary, Chief Kunle Oshodi and the Director of Mobilisation, Olu Sulaiman Sanusi said the Sultanate is not in the best position to determine what is good for the Yoruba people and that he cannot impose his own world view or that of his people on Yoruba people.

How many Yorubas realize this?

The sultan is such a peace loving ruler that he issued a statement when that small girl, Deborah was assassinated in Sokoto by muslim classmates who didn't succeed in dating her, instead he alleged she desecrated a holy book.
Who doesn't remember how the sultan condemned fellow muslims for lynching a small girl in the name of Islam?
The sultan is such a rational and peaceful ruler.
