Tinubu should just forget the 2nd term....

If it's the other way round, will the Bolt Driver granted 500k bail??

So if a terrorist walks into police headquarters in a convoy, he wouldn't be arrested?
Just ridiculous!

Terrorist won't dare...Yahaya Bello was invited..

But they are just bunch of hypocrites, what stops them from arresting him right away??

Elxandre:
Media show. You people must think we're foolish in this country. Someone that came earlier and left freely.

is manner of coming to EFCC was a breach of our protocol. No Nigerian, no matter how highly placed, is expected to come for an invitation in a convoy of vehicles and with a sitting governor.

“To the EFCC, he came with grandeur which is contrary to our procedures.

“There are stages of documentation which Bello skipped because he was with the governor who has immunity.

“The EFCC also did not invite the governor. So, what was the basis for accompanying Bello to our headquarters in Abuja?

“We have not been comfortable with the roles of the governor in this case.

“After fulfilling all procedures of documentation, Bello was expected to come with his lawyer(s) and not a governor or Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs).

“We cannot be intimidated or subject our system to political pollution.

“This made the Executive Chairman of EFCC to direct that no official should attend to Bello. He must undergo due process like every invitee.

“The commission was unhappy with the pre-emptive propaganda in the media by Bello’s team which had created false impressions.

“There was a narration that the ex-governor was already in EFCC’s custody.” A source told The Nation.

I have been reading on platforms where some Igbos were commenting on the Flood in Maiduguri..Some SAID "UNA NEVER SEE ANYTHING" " NO BE UNA VOTE TINUBU" etc...Its really sad,and insensitive,..I have il reserve my comment.

helinues:
The South South people haven't shown any interest in any protest?

The Arewa group just warned their people not to be part of any protest.

Nothing like protest from SW people.

Who then are the people behind this protest?

Dey play,the Northerners are fully ready for the protest, go to TikTok,and other social media, and see, they Even modify the banner to accommodate their Major Challenge, which is Insecurity.

For the first time, the Northerners are even telling their religion leaders that if any Imam preached against the planned protest, they will drag him down from the pulpit, and deal with such Imam....

Trying to reason with an agbado ronu is like trying to fill a basket with water............it will amount to nothing! Sincerely the Lugardian cage called Nigeria shoulld just be dissolved...make we go answer our papa name! Truly what do yorubas and Igbos have in common sef? Why orubas continue to subject themselves to the presence of ndigbo in their beloved nigeria is still a mystery to me! Convince your ulani cousins to hasten and dissolve the useless union!

When confronted with the truth, they results to insult.....move ahead OSU

Coldie:
Another lie exposed: and this is what you use as source: when it’s obviously lies and gaslighting:

“ Important to mention that Sardauna is often mispresented. Sardauna was not a leader of Nigeria but was only leader over the northern protectorate. So his statements were about his northern region, just as at the time Ojukwu made even more seditious statements about the eastern region he presided over. Sardauna’s utterances must be listened to in context of the then true Federation with three autonomous parts. Read more on this here.”

Observe how he tries to downplay the bad things sarduana did. at the birth of a new republic everybody is optimistic, the first thing a leader does is tu whip up ethnic sentiments and hate against others on world tv. If in Nigeria in this age, people find this clip bad, imagine the views of people from back then, in an era of ignorance.

I can say it to anybody with confidence, ojukwu said alot of things but I put it to the poster or anybody at all to mention one time ojukwu went on any interview to make any serdituous statement. The writer of the article was born in 1974, so he can’t lie and say he was alive during the war and was witnessing what was happening.

So where did he hear these seditious statements from?

Ojukwu has done many interviews which are in YouTube, anybody can judge, even at the peak of the civil war where people were dieing, he never used any bad word against anybody, neither was he seditious against any tribe.


Prove me wrong

Now you got your source, I call it a lie... IGBO will Never repent....even if Sardauna, Akintola,and Balewa wake up,and tell their story,you will still call it a lie...

Coldie:
Here is another lie:

“ This triggered the first inter-ethnic crises in the North. Igbos fled to the East, and returned only later under guarantee of their safety by president Ironsi. Some say mischievous secessionist Igbos orchestrated the pogroms to get their people home”


Imagine where someone is blaming Igbos for the progrom killings in the north, that Igbos orchestrated the killings of thousands of not other people our own people not just once but twice, so that secession can occur. Just imagine the level of gaslighting lol.

Oh it's Progrom when they retaliate,but what when you kill them in our Land..Ogah rest.....you bite mire than you can chew, and u din collect...

Coldie:
I have said it before I have nothing against the north.

Your leader was killed you kill our own too.

It didn’t end there, you kill people that had nothing to do with it. You didn’t stop you kept on killing until the people decided to leave the country. You say come let’s settle let’s do an agreement, we go, meet, agree, shake hands and went home. You that said come let’s meet renegade on agreement we both agreed on, went to war massacred lots of our people, won the war.

I brought this for us to say the truth, talk ur own and convince me, u aren’t convincing anybody. But u are just saying am lying, even when I just proved that you are the one lying with ur photshopped pic

Are you dis Daft, read the article here,and still call it lie ...your ppl instigated the Northerners to attack them, and u were killing them in the East too....is that why you are still killing them in the East till date in the name of Biafra

The Igbos will never admit they were wrong, so no need opening thread Upandan..

Coldie:
This bread picture is photoshopped, I don’t know the reason y anybody would photoshop a picture to try to stir tribal hate.


Reason I can tell you this with utmost confidence is I have watched absolutely all the single oputa panel videos existing, northerners brought the whole sink, they went as far as bringing someone who survived the eastern retaliation of the program that happened in the north. If they can go as far as to locate somebody like that.

Is it this label that someone like you have that they cannot locate?

I ask you?

Why not tell us the Coup never happened??

You keep trying to justify the crime of ur forefathers to no avail... Ppl know the truth... stop trying to justify evil..

Coldie:
This part u talked about labelled bread. I would believe everything you are saying if you can give me any historical proof from anywhere, where you got the information.

I don’t deny the reaction of the igbos after the coup, but if you are sure of what you are saying, prove it.

I know that photo u put is fake, so I ask you to prove the bread loaf sth, I can tell you with confidence that the story is a lie.


If you don’t prove this it would make anything you are saying or have said before questionable.


I wait ur reply. I can say this with confidence cause I heard the rumours too but researched it and I know it’s a BIG FALASY

You can read up to enlightened yourself, people witnessed this,and confirmed it...if the photo is fake prove me wrong.... Obviously you are a bias umpire.....

Even during the War, IGBO went about raping, killing,and coveting properties of Mon IGBO on the eastern region....

You can't garnish anything here, we know the truth, it's better for the Igbos to keep quiet than playing the victim card..

Coldie:
Even after the coup was stopped, if it was an igbo coup, since Igbos were the majority in the army as at then, y then did Major Aguiyi ironsi, surround himself with northern soldiers, if really it was an igbo agenda, won’t he surround himself with igbo officers?

The counter coup came, it was karma, do me I do you, but the following actions I think is part of what sealed Nigeria’s coffins. Nigeria owe the igbo tribe an apology, no matter how much everybody tries to deny or say otherwise.

The counter coup came, ok it’s the vengeance of the people avenging their leaders, you have killed igbo leaders and prominent men in power like igbo did yours. It didn’t stop there these people went on to start killing Igbos on the streets everywhere they could find them, alot of Igbos escaped many parts of Nigeria back to the east, no doubts northerners were killed in the east too as retaliation. What is the relationship between the easterner selling in a shop trying to feed his family and what happened in the military barracks. How Nigeria died and many nonsense started:


The reason for the first coup is explained above from my findings: the reason for the counter coup doesn’t have any reasonable explanation apart from revenge. After ironsi was killed the were to appoint a new military head as the law says, but they put the law aside and appointed a junior officer over a senior officer, ojukwu was against this, you would think ojukwu being against this is because he is supposed to be the one appointed, the answer is NO. The person that was the next ranking person after Ironsi was a westerner, they jumped over him and others and appointed Gowon who was a junior officer to them as at then. This here was what started Nigeria’s era of nepotism, where people’s rise in government isn’t done by merit but based on you coming from certain tribe or region. As the went on we went on to start seeing cases where someone who is illiterate would hold prominent government offices responsible for very important matters simply because of the tribe or region they come from.


The civil war came, we know the story, I won’t talk much in that, with my research I want to address what I found out on why the Biafran forces marched towards the west. The major reason was to capture the Nigerian capital and that was all, cause as time went on alot of people talked about how Biafra tried to invade the west.

If there is any apology to be made, it's the Igbos apologizing to the rest of Nigeria .

There was no beef before 1966.

If Ironsi hav taken action on the Coup plotters as advised, the counter Coup might not happen.

When you slap me,you can't determine the severity of my own counter slap..

After the first Coup, Igbo civilians trooped to the street of North, jubilating and jeering the Northerners who are still in pain of losing their leaders.

They labeled bread mocking how Nzeogwu killed Sardauna, and danced to Rex Laurence song mocking the Northerners..

What did u expect¿ Retaliation in the North,and counter retaliation in the East...

Coldie:
January 1966 coup took place that saw the deaths of prominent figures from all over Nigeria, Except the eastern region. All the coup plotters were southerners and majority were of Igbo extraction.

For decades I kept reading people make accusations and counter accusations of if it was an igbo coup or not. I decided to look deeper. My findings are as follows:

Many Nigerians don’t know this but at the time when Nigeria employed merit in alot of things, at a time when justice and fairness was the order of the day, at a time when Nigeria never spoil, when corruption was minimal, when we were able to be a prospering economy even without being an oil producing nation, Nigerians thrived but one stood out amongst all. The igbo man. This standing out brought envy, hatred and plots against the Igbos simply for just thriving in a fair system. I would explain as we go on.

The interior east was amongst the last places that education got to, northerners and westerners have been educated long before easterners. Northerners were educated in the Islamic way, whether it’s not the western or secular education, they already had the culture of learning, westerners were amongst the first to meet the British, education penetrated the west far before the east. But when education got to the east, the speed it was embraced was so much that westerners that originally were educated earlier, had to declare free education to catch up, it reached the extent that during the progroms in the north, how they identify an igbo man is speaking English. As a result of this education, it gave igbos an edge in an impartial and fair world run by the British. Many people don’t know this but before 1967 igbos/Easterners used to make up 60% of the army. This was because entry into the army in the past required that u have a certain level of education, and igbos had it in abundance then. Igbos not just made up majority in the army, Igbos held high offices in the army.

Naturally if you guys are a majority in the army and hold the major posts in the army, any thing happening in the army would involve you. The 5majors were wrong in truncating our democracy and ushering in a military regime that would cause problems down the line, but that’s a story for another day. My major work here is to explain why it might look as an igbo coup but it wasn’t intended to, they were right and they were wrong.

All the victims of the coups except the casualties like people whose wives were caught in the cross fire m, the victims smhw instigated their deaths. Though I wish it never happened.

Ahmadu bello, I support him on certain things and I am against many things he did, I support the norths stance on Nigeria not being ready for independence, I am against Ahmadu bello dividing Nigerians after independence, after independence Ahmadu bello did an interview, and he talked about igbo domination, in this interview: he says if there are 10labourers in a camp, and one is igbo, within a year the igbo man would try to emerge as head of the camp, he didn’t accuse the igbo man of trying to steal from the camp, how is an igbo man’s individual effort to succeed a bad thing according to him? This his remarks is part of what made him a target. The second one involves his participation in the western crisis. Here I would bring in Sir Akintola.

Sir Akintola was the premier of western region, at a time when they had their action group, while Obafemi swollen was of the opinion of extending the had of the west towards the rest of the south, Akintola was of the opinion that they extend it towards the north, during this period Akintola a power tussle between akintola abd swollen erupted and akintola ended up getting voted out of power. After he was removed from power him and his followers got violent and that was how the western crisis started. During this the federal government intervened, if u read up what I wrote above and even read up history, the antagonist here is Akintola, but what Tafawa balewa the then prime minister did was to arrest awolowo and charge him for treason, this is pure injustice. An election was done while awolowo was away and there was massive rigging, voters suppression and violence, the people that were seeing the people ontop do all those things while they followed orders were the military. And who make up majority of the military then “Igbos”. All these happened and Akintola was put back in power. This actions here was part of what I think made Akintola a target of the coup.

Sir Tafawa balewa, he was the prime minister the man at the top, tafawa balewa might be the man ontop but he was put there by Ahmadu bello, the votes that got him into power were from his npc party which was northern people party, which was the region Ahmadu bello ruled over. Tafawa balewa actions of declaring a state of emergency on the west over an isolated incident that happened only in Lagos which obafemi awolowo cried out against, his role in putting akintola back in power depute his atrocities and rigging of the western region elections, was what I think made him a target.

Sir festus Okotie eboh, back then the number one most attacked person on the media attacked by opposition [mainly the west] was festus eboh, reason is that he was the minister of finance and he was known for his extravagant lifestyle and had some corruption allegations against him, i think his name being the first poster boy for corruption was part of what made him a victim.

These above are the major victims of the 1966 coup. Everything I told you make ur personal research I can debate with anybody who thinks otherwise, make ur research and you would know they were guilty, only mistake those military officers made was taking laws into their hands.

The reason why there was no major igbo leader as victim.
Nnamdi azikiwe as at then was out of the country, Michael okpara then premier of the eastern region was not involved in the crisis. The crisis was a north/south west alliance push gone sour. So do you expect the young majors back then who thought they were fighting for Nigeria future, a future without tribalism and corruption, to just locate Sir Michael okpara and kill him for nothing just because they want the killing to be fair?

It has been said many times, it’s a fact, the coup plotters who survived said it many times, the original goal of their coup was to put Obafemi awolowo back in power, if this was an igbo agenda y would they go through such stress to put a non igbo into power? The major things those young military officers did back then was:
Taking matters into their hands, which was a big mistake, another mistake they did was killing, arresting the leaders should have been the last resort, but resorting to killing is what made things worst.

Say the truth?

No one was envious of the Igbo before the Coup.

Sardauna was only protecting his region with those speeches, don't forget we practice regional system.

Carrying out the Coup to put Awolowo back in Power is one of the greatest lie ever told....

The fact remains that the Igbos having dominated top echelon positions, got greedy,and want to take Power for themselves, reason Ironsi hastely abolished the regional government..

Between using your figure to clean ordinary gutter or use the same figure money to remove all the Almajaris on the Street in that state , the same Almajaris who are contributing to the dirtiness in the state, which would you think would make more sense

Employing same Almajiri to clean the gutters is tantamount to removing them from the street......or did you think graduates will be employed to do that or the workforce will be hired from Lagos

The fact that Spaghetti in crease to 900 while minimum wage remains the same is enough to tell you the increase to 100k may have little or no impact to the Price, there are other factors in play here..... Availability of substitute to Spaghetti,change in taste etc..

It is very easy to end the phenomenon of tribalism in Nigeria and across Africa, to foster greater unity and fairness.

All the government has to do is promote and disseminate these FACTS as enunciated above, and encourage and subsidise MASS DNA GENEOLOGY TESTING, while encouraging people to embrace their true lineage as opposed to the FRAUDULENT, ARTIFICIAL, UN-AFRICAN, COLONIAL LANGUAGE-GROUP CLASSIFICATIONS.

It will be taught to CHILDREN from Primary 1, that their identity is their LINEAGE, which can be determined by DNA testing, not their language.

A geneology database will be created, and people will be encouraged to follow up on their DNA results and seek to re-unite with their long lost relatives and lineage in other parts of the country or sub-region etc.

In its early days, TV crews will be there, to capture the tears and hugs of an 'Igbo man' meeting his ancient family in remote Zaria, and a 'Hausa man' re-uniting with his ancient family in Ondo state.

Gradually, the notion of 'Tribe' will be eroded, and finally eliminated from our consciousness, as we become reasonable, tolerant, civilised Africans again, no longer robots of colonial greed and brigandage, and free of the bondage and shackles of tribalism holding back our GREATNESS.

Just do away with State of Origin, place of birth etc...
