Then why is Nigeria still using a semblance of the same system till this day, isn't that slavery, why can't the whole country change what a single or few Igbo men put in place if it were really that bad

And why did you Igbos destroy regional govt?

Simple question .


Because you wanted to control the oil wells of the ND from the center so you destroyed the regional arrangement when it became inevitable that the ND region was set to be carved out from eastern Nigeria.

You were no victims .

The only reason you claim victimhood is because the Awusa Fulani displaced you from power , adopted your Igbo centric one Niggeria .


Note that Ojukwu was still supporting the centralization and unification decree 34 and wanted to replace Ironsi as the next most senior officer.

When this didn't happen , he then declared Biafra and annexed the ND.

This is the absolute truth.

Aburi was the Igbo wanting to rescind decree 34 but when the north saw this was to their advantage , they even shelfed their operation Araba and saw the coup that killed Tafa as a blessing in disguise.

You handed the template of injustice and misrule to the northerners.

Admit it.

Igbos are committed to pillaging the ND resources . You are no different than the Awusa Fulani and everything you accuse Buhari of, you are guilty ten times of.

Buhari's sectional adminstration was practiced shamelessly by Igbos in the eastern region and then under Ironsi .

This is a fact.

Even if you claim meritocracy in Igbo appointments how is that going to further national unity when all other Nationals we're denied a say in governance?

AlexBells:
I never exempted the Igbos from being the architect of one Nigeria, the East got Independence before the rest but had to wait so I take full responsibility for the Nigeria merger that's after Lord Lugard though. Then you said the country was styled to favour only Igbos, the truth is anything in Nigeria must either favour Igbos or Igbos did it because it will hurt others, no one takes responsibility for anything but blame it on the Igbos, so let it be known that the federal system was because it favours the Igbos and the reason Nigeria is still practicing even after years of the Igbos not being in power is because the entire Nigeria is slave to the Igbos, from 1966 to 2020, Nigeria had been slaving on Igbo agenda, thanks,

Correction: I never said Nigeria was designed to favour Igbos rather I said the coup and decree 34 were pre-written to ensure an Igbo military dictatorship.

How convenient that a decree was passed secretly on Jan 17 (two days after the coup ) which had all the aspirations of Azikiwe's Marxist One Nijeriya ?

gidgiddy:
Of course, what did you think obtains in military rule? Every military administration that comes in will always dissolve the existing government and place all powers in a supreme military council.

Decree 34 wasnt the main issue of Aburi. The main issue if Aburi was how Nigeria was going to be run going into Gowons administration

And who send you Igbos to overthrow the govt and dismantle the regional govts?

The only reason for that coup was Igbo greed towards controlling the newly discovered oil wells in the Niger Delta after the COR region was set to be carved out of the old eastern region.

This is the simple truth.

Buoyed by your arrogance and domineering oppressive Eastern region Igbo misrule, you decides to take your foolishness to the center and unilaterally deatroyed the regional govt and in it's place an Igbo dictatorship.

AlexBells:
I was not born in 1966 and as such I can't verify in circumstances therein, take history with a pinch of salt since we can't even verify the current.

You are displaying a weakness by letting Ojukwu, Ironsi, Azikiwe's decision dictate for you, you said you want a Niger Delta Republic First can you name your tribe, I guess you are Ijaw or Benin then did you consult the Other Niger Delta tribe before Anexing their territory into your Niger Delta Republic,.

I'm extending a hand of friendship to you, I'm Igbo and you said we should set things right, first we are going to revert things the way it used to be before the British arrived an independent or loosely dependent Kingdons, Tribes or Republics, things like Ijaw Kingdom, alongside an Independent Ibiobio kingdom, Benin Kingdom, Igbo Republic etc.,

We can still let the federal government attend to things like Passport, maybe army etc...But Every tribe to their tent, there won't be Niger Delta Republic because that will mean an annexation of the minority also, same crime you accused the Igbos of, if you agree with the independence of all the Niger Delta tribe then let's get working on something.

AlexBells:
You forgot it was 1966 and no one knows what running a country was really like, it was the experimental phase of our statehoo6

Very lame and silly excuse


Decree 34 was meant to put all resources and the entire Nigeria under Igbo dictatorship.

A decree that was already in waiting and secretly passed on Jan 17, 1966 - two days after the Igbo Marxist coup but only made public in May of that same year.

What was wrong with the regional arrangement which Ironsi claimed did not foster unity ?

Why did the Coup happen to have occurred just in time to truncate the creation of Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers region out of the Eastern region ?

What led to Adaka Boro's movement to leave Nigeria entirely after the Igbo coup and forced unification decree?

Better accept the fact that you Igbos are the architects of this one Nijeriya Marxist hell hole.

In his own speech on February 19 at the Kaduna Airport, the Governor of Northern region, Lt-Col. Hassan Katsina said he was not aware as a member of the then Supreme Military Council of the modalities for the proposed National Government. ”I am afraid the egg is about to be broken”.
On February 21 1966, General Aguiyi-Ironsi again addressed the nation on the issue. He said: “On the question of the political future of the country, the experiences and mistakes of the previous governments in the Federation have clearly indicated that far-reaching constitutional reforms are badly needed for peaceful and orderly progress towards the realization of our objectives. I have already touched on some of the major issues involved in recent broadcast to the nation. It has become apparent to all Nigerians that rigid adherence to ‘regionalism’, was the bane of the last regime and one of the main factors which contributed to its downfall. No doubt, the country would welcome a clean break with the deficiencies of the system of government to which the country has been subjected in the recent past. A solution suitable to our national needs must be found. The existing boundaries of governmental control will need to be re-adjusted to make for less cumbersome administration.’
As a follow-up on May 25, General Aguiyi-Ironsi promulgated the Constitution (Suspension and Modification)(No. 5) Decree 1966. Decree No. 34 (the ‘Unification Decree’).
After the promulgation, the country was thrown into turmoil which led to demonstration particularly in many parts of Northern Nigeria at that time. On his return to Kaduna on May 27, Col. Hassan Katsina was besieged with demands for an explanation. It was feared that in a unified service, Northerners would be at a disadvantage. It was no consolation that the Decree provided for the delegation of appointments and promotions, except the most senior, to Provincial Civil Service Commissions.
With its authority challenged and shown to be weak, at least in large parts of the North, the National Military Government had little option but to proffer its assurances and to explain its actions. The Supreme Military Council met on 7 and 8 June 1966 and issued the following statement:
“The public must not be led to confuse the Military Government with government by a civilian regime under a constitution approved by the people. Nobody will expect the present Military Government to cease to function until new constitution has been approved or to be compelled to operate the old system of government with its obvious weakness. It cannot be too seriously emphasized that the Military Government while in office can only run the government as a military government under a unified command. It cannot afford to run five separate governments and separate services as if it were a civilian regime. Final decisions on the territorial structure of the country and the public services will be matters for the Constituent Assembly and the referendum.”

gidgiddy:
Resisting a decree in military rule? You can only do that by taking up arms.

Besides, Decree 34 did not change the structural arrangement of Nigeria. All it did was unify the civil service

[/s]

Decree 34 dissolved the regional governments and placed supreme authority on the Head of State.

It was this same Decree 34 that was the main issue at Aburi which you Igbos wanted receded.

On assumption of power, General Aguiyi-Ironsi promulgated the Constitution (Suspension and Modification) Decree 1966. Decree No 1 dated January 17, 1966 but not published in the Official Gazette until March 4, 1966y.

He then issued Public Order Decree No 33 dated May 24 1966 which dissolved eighty-one political associations and twenty-six tribal and cultural associations.

At the early stage of his tenure, he appointed a three-man advisory team made up of Chief Francis Nwokedi, a Permanent Secretary, Dr. Pius Charles Nwabafor Okigbo (1924-2000) and Colonel Patrick Anwunah, who later became Chairman and Head of the Orientation Committee at that time.
He replaced the then Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Taslim Olawale Elias (1914-1991) with Chief Gabriel Chike Michael Onyiuke (SAN), former Director, Public Prosecution, Eastern Nigeria (1960-1965) from Nimo in the present Anambra state.


In a speech to the nation on January 28 1966, he denounced the evils of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa regime and outlined necessary reforms. ”All Nigerians”, he declared,” want an end to regionalism. Tribal loyalties and activities which promote tribal consciousness and sectional interests must give way to the urgent task of national reconstruction. The Federal Military Government will preserve Nigeria as one strong nation.” He then went on to promise “administrative reforms” and referred specifically to several matters in which regional as well as personal interests were known to have had decisive influence. These were official appointments, public investments, and the universities. He promised that in the public services, efficiency and merit will be the criteria for advancement”. That industrial development would be “coordinated to avoid wasteful duplication of industrial projects”, and that the universities would be “re-orientated to serve the genuine interest of our people.”


Immediately after the speech two Governors kicked against the proposal. They were, Major General David Akpode Ejoor (83) from Ovu in the present Delta State, then serving as the Military Governor of the Mid-Western region and Major General Hassan Usman Katsina(1933-1995), who was then serving as Governor of the Northern region.

Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu (1933-2011), Military Governor of Eastern Region welcomed the decree while Lt. Col. Francis Adekunle Fajuyi (1926-1966), Military Governor of Western Region never commented on the promulgation of the decree.
Lt-Col Ejoor was reported as saying that the ’National Government’ set up by the army was the prelude to ‘the reintroduction of a unitary form of government’ and insisted that it would create future problems.

Shortly afterwards, the Supreme Military Council announced that a senior government official, Mr. Nwokedi, had been asked to consider and to report to the Supreme Military Council on the establishment of ‘an administrative machinery for a united Nigeria’ and the ‘unification of the Public Services and Judicial Services.’

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.

AlexBells:
I know the part you are concerned about, the part where I said we won't be needing Biafra anymore...We never needed Biafra, anytime we are fed up with Nigeria, we are going to go for the Republic of Igboland, with every Igboid being a province, State or Kingdom, we can have a trade relationship and agreement with our niegbours, we can also share intelligence but if the Niger Delta could not stand together then the break up into smaller countries then any of the tribe that don't want to be a country could either willingly join us or be our territory

You've confirmed what I have always known which is that Biafra is an igbo project after losing out at the center.


Aburi Accord that you use as an excuse was meant to address the centralization and forced unity decree which was a result of an Igbo military govt.

Why did the Igbos see injustice in the system only after the north seized power from them?

Not stopping there, Ojukwu even wanted to be head of state under same arrangement and cited military heriachy.

When that wasn't an option you said we should go back to regional governance which it was you that dismantled .

You then decided you will annex the Niger Delta into your biafra even though the Niger Delta was about to get their own region (Calabar Ogoja- Rivers region) before the Igbo coup of 1966 haltes it and passed the forced unification decree and centralization government .


Why is this fact always glossed over by you Igbos

AlexBells:
But you stressed how it not Igbo but a Jewish port city don't you see anything wrong with that, the name Biafra was not even coined by an Igbo

My point exactly .

So why do a non sea ferring hinterland native tribe claim to have originated the word Biafra ?


And yes, Marrano Jews from Portugal specifically Marfa dominated the Portogesse slaving expeditions which Igbos were the dominating commodity.


This is the entire irony of IPOB, Biafra and Igbo slavishness to Jews.

Is this because you understand and see them as your slave masters?

AlexBells:
As much as I believe in Nigeria I would want you to drop the idea of always invoking Biafra when ever you speak, Biafra ought to be celebrated because it does not just represent a country but also the right to life and freedom for all, Biafra was never a war we were proud to start but be that what it may, avoid making Biafra an Igbo thing just like the rest of Nigeria had scapegoat the Igbos any opportunity they get, the rest of the Eastern tribe stood together to fight a three year bloody war because they knew better what Biafra represented. We Igbos won't need Biafra anymore, the Era of unaccounted bloodbath is over

The topic here for discussion is to clarify the true origins of the word Biafra.

Don't let Igbo talk of seccession fool you.

Those people are the staumchest and most stubborn one Nijeriyans.


They only began this biafra thing after they lost out from the center.

Take Niger Delta out of their biafra and see them turn Nigerians

AlexBells:
I like your assertion, you got to believe in yourself before you believe in others, I personally believe that we Igbos had made some mistakes in the past but I can boldly tell you we never went out all on our neighbours, the only very single time the Igbos had a problem within the Niger Delta was during Isaac Borro and I can tell you, that Isacc boro's case was wrong timed.

If I must he sincere, the very case that dominated boro's demand was the capital of the Eastern region in Enugu and the building of the refinery in PH, according to borro again Igbos dominated the Eastern region but look today, the South East have 5 governors + Asaba and PH being state capital, given Adaka boro ideology, it could have meant that out of 9 state in the old Eastern Region because Benin and Delta was not in the Eastern Region, Igboland is the capital of 6 now 6 - 9 = 3, the rest of the tribe got 3.6 state given that PH is not fully Igbos so you see.

Igbo majority is not something that can be wished away with hate, let's work together, Igbos with 7 state capital in Nigeria can stand alone but every tribe should be protected, and it is destiny that we happen to be neighbours, let's make for a common purpose for our neighbourhood. This generation can take a different step and it starts with me and you

You had your chance in the eastern region and you blew it.

Can you tell us why Western Cameron secceded ?

Western Cameron wanted out of Nigeria to avoid you Igbos who they said were over domineering and arrogant..

The lowest clerk position to the highest civil servant offices were reserved for Igbos...

Can you explain this sectional employment and appointments that favored only the Igbos?


Pls before you claim we in the ND hate you for no reason, ask why this was the case?

What did you Igbos do to deserve their hatred?

That's the question you should ask.

Even before there was an Abuja, you Igbos built Enugu from scratch with the resources of other miniorities just as the Awusa Fulani are doing with Abuja. They learnt very well from you.

The word Biafra is not of Igbo origins as widely speculated by IPOB

The word Biafra is a coinage from old Portogesse maps depicting the Bight of Guinea .

Originally it was shorthand for Bight of Marfa.

Marfa being a Portogesse coastal Outpost in modern day Cameroun.

On Portogesse maps it was depicted as Bi Marfa - which is shorthand.


The Portogesse are credited to have named several of their trading coastal outpost in West and central Africa. From Nigeria's economic hub, Lagos to Malabu to Ferdinando Po, the Portogesse named their settlements in honour of Portogese towns. Marfa being a sailing port in Portugal.

Over the years, Bight of Marfa morphed to Biafra just as Calabry turned to Calabar.

This is the true origins of the word Biafra and had nothing to do with Igbos.

Fun fact:

The Portogese Port City of Marfa was dominated by Marrano Jewish slave merchants.

Isn't it ironic that our Igbo Jews will name their country after a major Jewish slave port?

AlexBells:
Hello, how are you doing, I know you have a problem with the three majority tribes in Nigeria but of all, I have seen that even though you feel uncomfortable about the Igbos to an extent, I know we are not the ones you hate, would you want to work with a new Igbo generation alongside other tribes, please do let me know your tribe...

What I understand about Nigerian politics is that it is best to align with your own than with others.

Igbos should face their own fight and stop dragging us into your biafra .

It is condescending to say the least for Igbos to arrogate to themselves the aspirations and ambitions of the Niger Delta.

After all, when we were fighting for resource control , we didn't ask for your help.

Even your Igbo legislators alongside their collegues from the SE did all they could to frustrate resource control during Obasanjo citing third term as an excuse.

We go alone to avoid betrayal.


Every man to his tent.

Igbo


Fear these people

The OP is 100% correct .


These Igbos are more Niggerian than any other nationality.


I even stated that in future, Igbos will align with the north to fight against Niger Delta seccesion.



Igbos are the biggest hypocrites in Nigeria and they are not victims but the major villains in Niggerian history .
