Zombiedients will continue deceiving themselves with lies.

pinyacoladar:
Alright

That is the bitter truth.

Igbos should Prepare for Biafra or Death.

Naira means Never Allow Igbo Rule Again and as Nigeria continue using it then no hope for Igbo Presidency.



North East is Atiku and Shetima Home Atiku will win it but Shetima will come second Obi have no hope there.



North Central is Fulani Controlled Territory and North Westerners Can't Vote for Igbo they will vote who is asked of them by their religious leaders and we all know that is not Obi so how can Obi become President without winning the 3 K's that are the main population of North of which the votes from just one of them covers all South East Votes. Kano, Kaduna, Katsina.



Kano Kwankwanso home that he has said Obi is fully Biafra, Kaduna El Rufai home that he even stopped Obi from Campaigning there or Katsina Buhari's home state filled up with Fulani.
If he cant win these places nothing for him.



North Central will be shared by the top 4




South West is Tinubu controlled area expecially Lagos and Obi cant win that. Governors, Senators, House of Reps, House of Assembly, Chairmen and Vice etc are either coming back or ask their cartel to vote their party and all the people that survive from them will vote the party because if the politician lose job no money for them again.



Obi controls no ward talk more of LGA.
All South South Governors have come out that their people should vote their parties and same with South East. Even Obi Governor asked his people to vote APGA. Zombiedients should know that millions of people are surviving from these serving politicians and they will vote the party of who is putting food on their table.




Igbos should go and prepare for Biafra or death. They can never rule the place they call Zoo. All tribes remember IPOB and you can't deceive especially the North on it.
You can insult and lie to yourselves like usual but this is the clear truth. The online noises and arrogance of Obi supporters will take them no where. Stop lying to yourselves. Obi has failed.

Reason Igbos will never rule. Prepare for Biafra or death.




HISTORY NEVER DIES....



What Queen Elizabeth II’s Death Exposes About Biafra

First published in my column, #TheAlternative, in today’s ThisDay.

When on Thursday, September 8, 2022, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II passed on into ancestor-hood, I was not particularly moved. I like England. I schooled and worked there and those years were some of the best of my life. The English people are by far some of the most decent peoples on planet Earth.

However, I am rather indifferent about their monarch. I did not like or dislike Queen Elizabeth II. The only thing I can think of that I admire in her is her stoicism. Her ability to take pain and pleasure with equanimity. She is the epitome of duty and a stiff upper lip.

But I doubt that I bothered much about her and her goings on. I was just aloof.

So, while I was not one of those mourning, it was not because I had some grudge against the House of Windsor. No. It is just that the House of Ginuwa (the first Olu of Warri), mattered more to me than Buckingham Palace.

The above not withstanding, I was absolutely mortified by the hideous and historically inaccurate things that were said about the Queen and her family by a Nigerian woman living in America, whose name I will not dignify by mentioning.

I later got to find out that this woman has other issues, which made me understand her bitterness better, though I still vehemently reject her indecorous words.

She was one of the people who famously celebrated the death of TB Joshua and called him all sorts of unprintable names when he died. So it is no big surprise that she has turned her vitriol in the direction of the late Queen.

And so now, let me tackle what the death of Queen Elizabeth II reveals about Biafra. It shows us as a people not aware of our history, and because we are not aware of our own history, we have distorted it, such that propaganda and pseudo history has been orally passed down from one generation to the other, feeding unfounded bitterness that is destroying those who harbour it, and having no effect on those against whom they are embittered.

That is why some people believe they were just sitting down minding their business and Hausa people came to fight them (all Northerners are Hausa to some people) because they hate them. There was absolutely no provocation, or igniting events that preceded the Nigerian Civil War. Hausa people just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and for some strange reason decided to pounce on the people of Eastern Nigeria.

But of course, that is not what happened. However, because we do not write our history, and even worse, we have refused to teach it in our schools, there are millions of people who believe this version of events. In fact, they swear by it.

One fellow named Uche Nnaya even tweeted at me that the Igbos of Southeast Nigeria had a right to rail against the British monarch and the rest of Nigeria, because “you can’t push people to the wall and dictate how they react.”

Really? But do those who hold such views not know that some other persons were FIRST pushed to the wall? Uche’s response will also justify how those who were first pushed to the wall reacted.

We cannot keep holding grudges as if other people do not have their own grudges that they have let go for the peace and unity of this country called Nigeria.

My great uncle, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, was shot and killed in the street by Major Chris Anuforo on January 15, 1966. Ironically, I went to school with Anuforo’s son. Should my people carry that grudge forever?

Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was shot on the street like a common criminal by Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna. Ifeajuna tried to deny it, and claimed that Alhaji Balewa died from an asthma attack, until his body was taken to LUTH and examined by the then minister for health, Dr. Moses Majekodunmi. It was established that the body was riddled with bullets in a front page story in Daily Times, written by Segun Osoba, who later became the Governor of Ogun. He is still alive.

This was an incorruptible gentleman. He lived a very ascetic life. Materialism was FAR from him. He was an author. His book, Shaihu Umar, was the first novel written in Hausa. He surrounded himself with Southerners (in hindsight, was that a mistake?). His best friend was Matthew Mbu. Should the Tafawa-Balewa family and the people of Bauchi, where he was from, hold a grudge forever?

I could go on and on and list the people killed on January 15, 1966, and the identities of their killers, but that would just be reopening old wounds. These are historical facts, which some people deny and pretend as if the Civil War happened in a vacuum.

So, please let us stop pretending as if the late Queen Elizabeth II came to Nigeria and ignited a war. The Nigerian Civil War was ignited by a series of unfortunate events that began with the cold blooded murder of 22 people from the Northern, Western, and Mid Western regions by people of mostly Eastern region origin, which led to a counter coup by Northern Nigerian military officers on July 29, 1966, and the unfortunate pogrom of 66-67.

Many people now spewing vitriol against the late Queen Elizabeth II for her alleged role in the Nigerian Civil War conveniently forget that between August 9, 1967 and September 20, 1967, Biafran forces invaded and occupied the Midwest region, and named Albert Nwazu Okonkwo, as military Governor of the Midwest. A number of non Igbo speaking Mid-Westerners lost their lives during the Biafran occupation of the Midwest.

After the Midwest was liberated by forces led by colonels Murtala Muhammed and Benjamin Adekunle, more Mid-Westerners, this time those linguistically linked to the Igbo (especially in the Asaba axis), were killed. Please research it before you insult me.

I need to add that the killings by the liberating forces were worse than the killings of the Biafrans, and should truly have been declared war crimes.

Yet, in that same Midwest, we accepted Nigerians of Southeast origin back after the war. We did not seize their properties in the abandoned property saga that occurred in the Port Harcourt area and its environs. We let bygones be bygones.

The truth of the matter is that If the January 15, 1966 coup had never happened, it is most unlikely that the Nigerian Civil War would have occurred. The perpetrators of that coup opened a Pandora’s Box that the rest of Nigeria are still suffering from today!

There was wild jubilation all over Nigeria after that coup, because Nigerians believed it was a patriotic and nationalistic coup. Then the names of those killed were announced over the radio, and it was discovered that only people from the North, West and Midwest were killed, but NOBODY from the East was killed, whereas the vast majority of those who carried out the coup were from the East.

That is the remote cause of the Nigerian Civil War. We will remember it. We will also teach it to our children, so that it does not reoccur.

So, to just keep nursing grudges and reopening old wounds will do no one any good. You can bully others into submission, but you cannot do it to Reno Omokri. I know history and I am a meticulous record keeper!

It is only those who are ignorant about how the British government works that will blame the late Queen for the actions of the British government. She was a titular and ceremonial head of state, whose actions were limited to appointing the candidate who has won election directly or indirectly as prime minister, and declaring open the parliament. She was a symbol. She was not the initiator of the policies of the British government.

And even the British government are not to blame for the Nigerian Civil War. We must learn to take responsibility for our own actions. That war was the result of the ill advised January 15, 1966 coup.

The coup itself was led by Majors Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna. It was executed by the following persons:

1. Kaduna Nzeogwu
2. Emmanuel Ifeajuna
3. Timothy Onwuatuegwu
4. Adewale Ademoyega
5. Chris Anuforo
6. Humphrey Chukwuka
7. Donatus Okafor

Of these seven people, only one, Adewale Ademoyega, was non Igbo. The rest were all Igbo, although Major Nzeogwu was what was referred to at that time as Midwest Igbo (later colloquially referred to as Bendel Igbo and now as Delta Igbo). Major Donatus Okafor’s mother was Tiv. However, his father was Igbo.

Incidentally, some Igbos unwisely try to deny that Nzeogwu was Igbo, and call him ‘your South-South’ brother. Unknown to them, the more they do this, the more they make non Igbos feel that those specific Igbos who say that have learned very little since the civil war.

22 people were killed during the coup, including

1. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
2. Ahmadu Bello
3. Ahmed Ben Musa
4. Hafsatu Bello
5. Ahmed Pategi
6. Samuel Ladoke Akintola
7. Festus Okotie-Eboh
8. Brig. Samuel Ademulegun
9. Brig. Zakariya Maimalari
10. Col. Ralph Shodeinde
11. Col. Kur Mohammed
12. Lt. Col. Abogo Largema
13. Lt. Col. James Pam
14. Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe
15. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke
16. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun
17. Zarumi Sardauna
18. PC Yohana Garkawa
19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo
20. PC Akpan Anduka
21. PC Hagai Lai
22. Philip Lewande

As is clear from the list above, none of them were from the then Eastern Nigeria. . (I have since learned that Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe was Igbo. He was in charge of weaponry in Lagos, and was killed when he refused to cooperate with Major Chris Anuforo).

After the coup, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi took over. Rightly, or wrongly, the rest of the nation felt that a coup carried out by overwhelmingly Eastern officers, and of which the victims were entirely non Easterners, and which supplanted a Northern minority leader (Tafawa-Balewa), with an Igbo leader, (Aguiyi-Ironsi) was a set up.

However, Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi’s promise to try the coup plotters placated the rest of the country. Sadly, the plotters were jailed, but were never tried. And the immediate cause of the July 29, 1966 counter coup was when rumours circulated that the coup plotters had been receiving full salaries in jail and were to be promoted.

These are facts that we all should address, rather than blaming the late Queen Elizabeth II for a war she did not cause, nor had anyway of stopping. And if we do not learn from our history, there is every possibility that another war might erupt in Nigeria.

The Biafrans inflicted a very harsh occupation on present day Rivers, Cross Rivers and Akwa-Ibom, as well as present day Delta and Edo before they were flushed out by federal forces. The Bayelsa area escaped the brunt of Biafran occupation due to the fight back from Isaac Adaka Boro. They invaded Ore and hundreds of soldiers and civilians died. There is still a Yoruba proverb about the amount of people that died in Ore. Ask a Yoruba person to tell you the meaning of ‘o le ku ija Ore.

We have all forgiven and moved on. Yet, you want to reopen these old wounds and make them cancerous by blaming Queen Elizabeth II 50 years after the war?

And when you point this out, the very same people castigating the late Queen will accuse you of creating ethnic tension? Do you want to be victims and victors at the same time? Leave the woman and her family to grieve in peace. By celebrating the Queen’s death, you are giving Nigeria a very nasty reputation that will affect all of us and not only you. We cannot afford to be seen as a nation with anti British and American sentiments, when we are not able to get a better deal from China and Russia

Even word of God say Fear North.

Confused people.

Yes.

E dey everywhere.

Allahmuzayaf:
But una no go leave Tinubu for those wey dey support am?

Exactly.

See it here.

enemybulldozer:
Oil, gas and sea we have all that in Igboland in fact Igboland has the highest gas reserve in Africa currently.
You mentioned "business" in your list and am surprised about that because, I wonder the kind of business that can thrive in ijaw land but cannot thrive in Igbo land that will Ndigbo to want ijaw.

Lastly, you said adaka boro treated ojukwu madness? you are funny... Ok let me ask you, how did you god adaka boro die?

Continue lying to yourself mr landlocked dotian.

ForumNL:
Wow! Igbos can argue for Africa

They argue Yoruba domination in Music when it's so obvious
Wizkid, Davido, burna boy, Fireboy, Olamide, Kiss Daniel, Asake, Mr Eazi, Reekado, Zino etc

Tems, Ayra star, Tiwa, Simi, Nini, Teni, Yemi Alade etc

They argue Yoruba domination in movies when it's so obvious

With The Figurine (2009) widely regarded as marking the major turnaround of contemporary Nigerian cinema
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_Nigeria

Top directors and highest grossing movies

Stop leaving in stone age

They then jump to sport when it's obvious Yoruba dominate sport also
Should I continue... Na only three ladies I will mention that will scatter everywhere

Funny enough Edo, Ijaw and Urhobos even beat igbos hands down in music, movies and sport

Burna boy is Ijaw.

ljoh:
There is nothing like Niger Delta Republic, Ijaw people want Ijaw Republic

Yes my Ijaw people want Ijaw Republic.

Tinubu will be deceived like Awolowo and Abiola.


Reason they gave him Muslim/Muslim ticket so as to punish him for stubborness concerning
the Emilokan or it is my turn talk.

They gave Atiku the PDP ticket so as to work for him and they useless Tinubu in Southern Nigeria through the Muslim/Muslim ticket because he refused Jonathan one tenure so that the baton can go back North.

Reason for the massive and steady decamping of Northern APC members to PDP without end across the Northern States and for no just cause.

Confused people.

Confused people.

We Ijaws are for Ijaw Republic we are not confused like Igbos.

ljoh:
Stop hating, Tinubu choosed the Muslim Muslim ticket by himself, Muslim Muslim ticket has won election before in Nigeria.

Tinubu is your next president, stop supporting another fulani man

You know that such isn't possible.

Pandev:
You this kid, you committed a blunder out of ignorance and you're still doing strong head arrogantly. Better leave nairaland and face your studies so you can pass your jamb.

I am not writing to please those already failed souls. Take it or not, no Nigerian can win Presidential Election with Muslim/Muslim ticket.

Pandev:
All these small small children wey just finish secondary school. See the childish analysis. The kid doesn't even know that the candidate picks a running mate by himself.

If you are wise enough you would have known that Muslim Muslim ticket cannot be chosen by Tinubu that grew up among Christians of the South.

ElSudani:
Nonsense post.

Your eyes will soon clear.
