AmotekunSW:
Before you claim the North killed you, mention a single Igbo man that was killed when Nzeogwu killed leaders from the West and North.
Azikiwe was warned by the Igbo coup plotters, Nwafor Orizu was allowed to escape.

You callous people killed Ahmadu Bello and shot his wife who embraced him. Killed them together. But you refused to kill your own Igbo brothers in government.

What did Ironsi do to the coup plotters who were Igbos like him?
He moved them from Lagos to Owerri for protection and refused to prosecute them.

The history your parents didn't tell you, we will hammer it into your empty flat heads by force.

BABANGBALI:
An account of the Nigerian Civil war by Reno Omokri .

The root cause of the Civil War was the January 15, 1966 coup by five majors, who were all of Igbo origin, except Major Adewale Ademoyega.

When the coup was announced, there was a nationwide celebration, especially in the North, as it was wrongly assumed that all political leaders of the First Republic had been killed.

However, after the BBC reported on January 17, 1966, that politicians and soldiers from every region had been killed, except those of Eastern region origin, and that the killers had all been Igbos (Major Adewale Ademoyega did not participate in the killings), the celebrations turned to condemnations.

On January 16, 1966, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, assumed power. He promised to try the coup plotters. However, this promise was not fulfilled.

Ironsi, appointed a three man advisory committee. They included Chief Francis Nwokedi, Dr Pius Okigbo and Colonel Patrick Anwunah. Many leaders of thought, including foreigners living in Nigeria, publicly encouraged Ironsi to appoint at least one non Igbo to that committee. That never materialised.

And from a Western Region of Nigeria perspective, Ironsi stirred the hornet's nest by replacing the then Attorney-General, Dr Taslim Olawale Elias (1914-1991), with Chief Gabriel Chike Michael Onyiuke, also an Igbo.

Soon after the coup, some Igbo brothers almanacs with caricatures insulting prominent Northern, Western and Mid-Western leaders.

In one of them, Chukwuma Nzeogwu was shown with his leg on top of Sir Ahmadu Bello's head, which was put on the body of a goat.

The almanacs outraged Northerners, turning them against the Aguiyi Ironsi government.

In February of 1966, a famous Igbo highlife maestro, Celestine Ukwu, released a song titled Ewu Ne Ba Akwa, meaning ‘the goat is crying’. 

Rightly or wrongly, other Nigerians believed the song mocking the killing of the Sardauna by Nzeogwu. That song and almanacs ignited a p0grom against Igbos in the North.

Because he had not punished the January 15 coup plotters, it was hard for Ironsi to punish those behind the p0groms.

The final straw was when Ironsi promulgated Decree Number 34 on May 24, 1966, which ended regionalism, took control of all resources, including oil, which had hitherto belonged to regions, and domiciled them in his military government. Other members of the Supreme Military Council alleged Ironsi did not consult them before promulgating the decree. It is not known if their allegation is true. However, Ironsi's Attorney General, Chike Onyiuke, claimed Ironsi did not need to consult them.

That decree ignited the counter-coup of July 29, 1966, in which Ironsi was killed and replaced with Lt. Colonel Yakubu Gowon, who did not participate in the coup but was a compromise candidate.

All Military Governors accepted him except Ojukwu. Eventually, the then Ghanaian military leader, General Ankrah, invited Gowon and Ojukwu for a peace meeting in Aburi, Ghana, between January 4-5, 1967. Agreements were reached, including that Gowon would broadcast first, followed by Ojukwu.

However, upon return, Ojukwu made his broadcast first, which shocked other regions, and jeopardised Gowon, who was almost removed by those who made him Head of State.

As a result of Ojukwu's broadcast, Gowon issued Decree Number 8, and later, on May 27, 1967, broke Nigeria into 12 states.

Ojukwu rejected both actions, and declared the Republic of Biafra on May 30, 1967, which ignited a police action by Gowon's government on July 6, 1967. Things degenerated into war, which did not end until Biafra's defeat on January 15, 1970, after Ojukwu fled on January 11, 1970.

The war may have been prevented if Ojukwu broke away with only the East Central state, which was homogeneously Igbo. However, he insisted on the whole Eastern Nigeria, which included non Igbos in Calabar and Rivers, whose leaders, like Isaac Boro, and Ken Asari-Wiwa, rejected Biafra.

In a world where unity and understanding are essential, hate speech and derogatory comments aimed at any ethnic group can have severe consequences. It is disheartening to witness individuals like APCHaram, who choose to engage in offensive behavior and incite hatred against the Igbo tribe. In this article, we shed light on the harmful actions of APCHaram, highlighting the need for a united front against such divisive speech.[/i]Seun my question is, why is mynd44 turning a blind eye to this and why is your antispan bolt refused to work on that individuals posts?



The Rise of APCHaram:

APCHaram's persistent violation of ethnic and tribal rules by consistently insulting and inciting hate speech against the Igbo tribe has garnered attention within the online community. Despite the potential consequences, this user continues to sow the seeds of discord, undermining the foundations of mutual respect and understanding.

A closer look at the comments made by APCHaram reveals a disturbing trend of inflammatory rhetoric aimed at the Igbo tribe. These derogatory remarks not only perpetuate negative stereotypes but also create an environment of hostility, ultimately hindering peaceful coexistence among diverse Nigerian communities.



Consequences of Hate Speech:

Hate speech, whether online or offline, has wide-ranging consequences that affect both individuals and society as a whole. It can fuel interethnic tension, perpetuate discrimination, and even incite violence. By shedding light on APCHaram's actions, we hope to raise awareness about the destructive power of hate speech and the urgent need to address it.



The Importance of Countering Hate Speech:

As responsible members of the online community, it is crucial to stand against hate speech and protect the values of unity and respect. By exposing and condemning individuals like APCHaram, we send a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated. It is through collective action that we can build a society that celebrates diversity and promotes understanding.

APCHaram's persistent insults and hate speech against the Igbo tribe highlight the urgent need to address and counter such behavior.

Please review the evidence below and join the conversation in condemning hate speech and promoting unity."

No, that wasn't the first retaliatory killings in the East. During the time of Orji Kalu as governor of Abia state, there was massive retaliatory killings in Aba. I think due to Kaduna killing of Igbos.

Our neighbor then in the same street, Alhaji Labran escaped with his family and never returned. He was rich then and owned cars.

The roads of Aba was littered with dead bodies and the air smelt like there was massive barbecue of goats. I couldn't eat meat or anything suya again after that horrific event.

Thank God that such barbaric killings has stopped in the North.

Tranquillity360:
Your claim that 2006/2007 riot in Onitsha was caused by
mini disagreement between Fulani cow supplier and Igbo butchers is totally false,I know you intentionally lied.
https://www.nairaland.com/7723643/second-time-what-people-se#123724479

The true fact of the event is you Northerners killed hundreds of Igbos in North just because of Muhammad cartoon in Denmark, something that has nothing to do with Igbos.

I was in Onitsha and witnessed everything.


Hundreds of Igbos were targeted and killed by Northerners over Muhammad cartoon protest happening in Denmark simple because Igbos are Christians.
We in Onitsha then heard about killing of our people in North,we took it as normal things Northerners does.

Anger arised when trailers loads of dead bodies of our people arrived Onitsha for burial.
People that couldn't take it took action by hunting Northerners here too.(All Killing is bad) But I can't condemn that act because that single act put a stop to Northerners habits of always Targeting Igbos in any religious misunderstanding.

If not they would have continue attacking Igbos like they always do, even Deborah Case, many Igbos would have fallen for it.

Mod allow people that don't know the true fact to learn from here because I saw that Arrewa lie very late.

Nairaland shouldn't allow lies to stand.

Jogs1900:
I asked for the link to show me the igbos that were killed in Lagos because of election.You are bringing up something else whereas in Anambra, a whole family was killed by your kinsmen as attached.
If the labour partys candidates death happened in Lagos, you would have cried that it was the Yorubas that killed him.
If you are in that axis of Lagos, you will know that most of the criminals there are from the SE including the agberos there.

Jogs1900:
Give us link to names of igbos killed during election or whose property were destroyed because of election.

Jogs1900:
Why are you asking fulanis and hausas to leave the South east..Are they not meant to enjoy one Nigeria too?

helinues:
The way Yoruba's are treating them yet like 5 Ifefinashi bus don arrive Lagos state this morning. Isn't that confusion raised to power 15.

Btw, if they are indeed treating you somehow, why not return back to your region where you will be treated nicely

Na so the Yoruba's in India, Ghana, Malaysia , South Africa dey treat Igbo's somehow.

The thing wey victim mentality go cause heh abi don dey cause self

Jogs1900:
Nobody killed nor destroyed Igbo property in Lagos because of the election.

tamdun:
Pls name the igbos that were killed in 2015/2023 in SW

helinues:
The question you should be asking is, are Igbo the only non indigenes in Lagos state?

Why is it only the Igbo always complaining about the happenings in Lagos state?

We go teach them sense for Lagos. We know their game plan now.
Thank God Lagos is not port Harcourt or Asaba that they share boundary with.
My joy is that whatever Sanwo does in lagos, there's 100% federal backing for it.

Lyrics269:
Two ethnic groups will continue to rule Nigeria while the other majority group will keep losing elections.
Igbos are not united as they claim, they only chase clout for their hiden agenda and later cry out that nobody voted their candidate. Get ready to watch 8 years of Yoruba + another 8 years of Hausa.

Arrewa:
Nwanna...

I'm replying this thread because maka no nwokem ka Ibu na this forum.

Onitsha crisis of 2006/2007 were hundreds of northerner were murdered in Onitsha because of a mini disagreement between Fulani cow supplier and Igbo butcher... Which resulted to physical confrontation between the two parties. Only for the Igbo man to be drop dead by the Fulani cow dealer. What happened afterward?

Innocent northners that knew nothing about the incident were attacked and killed including children and women!!

I still have the full record of Onitsha massacre with me!!

Why are your people not speaking against the killing of Nigerians of other ethnicities in East including the killing of our security agencies??

From the northern perspective.... We don't give a fvck about the Igbos... We bearly talk about you people in our public places or in our day to day activities... We are focuse on your region...

You partially stay in the north, and should know this.

But you Igbos at the other hand carry our matters for head like Gala!!

Always attacking northeners both online and offline...

Here on nairaland or Twitter... Igbos always initiate degrading conversation against the north!!
Why?

"When you sell your brother, the buyer will never trust you."

The reason why Peter Obi is held in very high esteem even by his opponents is because he doesn't see the need to ridicule his own tribe in order to be accepted by outsiders. This cannot be said of other igbo politicians who condemn the whole Igbo tribe at any given opportunity so as to please northerners and westerners.

Orji Uzor Kalu, Rochas Okorocha, Ike Ekeremadu, and other igbo politicians combined together, they don't have up one percent of Peter Obi's electoral value. These are the people who cannot win any free and fair election. No wonder they ate their own people and their people also hate them with passion.

Look at the one in Lagos (Joe Igbokwe), despite the unwarranted attacks on Igbos in Lagos, this man will still find reasons to insult his tribesmen. In politics, if you are not accepted at home, you will be rejected abroad. How will I respect your tribe when your elites ridicule you for fun?

Jd10k:
This selling of your people narrative is so annoying, someone who won his senatorial District with over100000( hundred thousand)but the President can only get( 5000+) five thousand plus in whole of Abia state 😡.

Mynd44:
The new Senate President takes his oath of office

undisputedKOC:
Igbos are the biggest enemies of the South South, all that fake love you show us only happens when you need our help to escape your Fulani masters and Yoruba tormentors. Igbos always claimed they voted for GEJ, yes you did, but Ijaws are not fools, we know you supported GEJ because of your hatred for Yorubas, not because you love us.

Igbo political character, motive and motto has always been "Anyone but Yorubas". Igbos will always go in the direction that destroys Yoruba political interests. This was the only reason you supported GEJ; but later it was still the same Igbos that ruined the GEJ govt and made other Nigerians to despise our great Ijaw son and vote him out.

Now that no Yoruba or South West is contesting for Senate Presidency, only South South, Igbos are showing their true colors and exposing their hatred as usual by maintaining a political stance that if Igbos can't get Senate Presidency, then their Northern masters should have it. Typical slaves with their wicked and hateful spirits.

How many times have Igbos been Senate President since 1999? But greed and hatred won't allow you wicked tribe to support others genuinely. It is the turn of the South South to have the Senate Presidency in Nigeria whether Igbos like it or not.

You claim to love South South, always attaching yourselves to us by force with fake love, but now when there's no Yoruba candidate contesting to direct your hatred on, you expose your true colors as the enemies of the South South.

Igbos were the biggest enemies of the South South during the era of regional government; Igbos were the most wicked enemies of the South South region during the civil war, commiting all kinds of wicked atrocities and evil against our men, women and children - we have not forgotten this; and now in 2023 Igbos are the biggest problem for South South to win Senate Presidency. We will not forget this wickedness.

Don't worry, when the time is ripe, you Igbos should come and beg South South for Presidency votes, and we will remind you about how you worked tirelessly against the emergence of a bonafide illustrious South South son, H.E. Godswill Akpabio. And like his name states, Godswill, let me tell you it is GOD'S WILL that Akpabio will become Senate President at this time and there's nothing you Igbo saboteurs can do about it.

North Korea vs South Korea, Serbia vs Kosovo, Russia vs Ukraine, Ethiopia vs Eritea, South Sudan vs North Sudan, Indian vs Pakistan.

What do all these countries have in common, they were once together but still at war despite going their separate ways.

Any 2 countries that were once together that want to separate, it will be better that they go and buy land somewhere far away and migrate there.


History has shown that 2 separated brethren will keep fighting many centuries after their separation if they continue to stay side by side.

adekolaelect:
when you have bad characters you will be hated by all. Can you tell me any Tribe that is friend to Igbos ? You even take it far to South Africa they rejected you. You started your hate in Lagos and you want the Host state dey look you. No one is chasing you from Lagos but your excess will be cut to Size.

adekolaelect:
All these write up to justify Emefiel by Igbo is exposing them more of the type of people they are . You took Buhari Ahusas as Enemy for 8 years . You now start another one with Tinubu and Yorubas . I hope you will ncry went your seed of hatred start germinating and giving you negativities?

enemybulldozer:
You said I should mention one but here I come with more than one with evidence.

Now mention any Igbo in tinubu appointments so far I dey wait.
