What is Radio Mille Colines?

Read about the Rwandan genocide.

MelesZenawi:
Time has passed for lies.

Do not give wings to evil. what is called tribalism today was blown by awolowo.


Nobody can deny that.

Is it also tribalism in other countries with parliamentary systems? This is the problem with Africans trying to inject their primordial thinking into a system they obviously didn't understand properly.

MelesZenawi:
Awolowo is the father of modern day tribalism.

Nothing good can be linked to that man.


Tribalism, suicide name any bad attributes he has it.



If not what would have prompted even people in SW to vote azikiwe instead of Awolowo.



That's why they rushed to establish lagos-ibadan express newspaper to fabricate lies but today the reverse is the case.



This is an untainted account.

Ignorance of the highest order. This was a parliamentary system and it is perfectly legal under this system for two or more parties to form a coalition in order to form a government.
Thre same process produced the government led by Balewa and Zik.

ACHILLES45:
i usually give yorubas kudos for their accomodating nature (live and let live), but i dont envy them now.
they need to wake up to reality else they lose their ancestral land and turn their offsprings to slaves tomorrow.
its quite painful that majority of them dont know what has befallen them yet because they have over time been vividly divided along religious line that they dont think out of their bible or quran.
in SE, we dont worship the bible or quran, we throw them into the fire when theres a very serious life-threatening issue and we work together to fight it. we are not there yet but i'm pretty sure that even the fulanis knows that it is not business as usual with the people of SE.
yorubas should all wake up now before its too late.

What arrant nonsense.

lumiday:
The man is beyond the character we saw in movies, he's not a trouble maker. My parent had issue with "Awon Omo onile", 4plots already forcefuy taken and sold out of his 6plots. We got the land back and those who already started building on it forfeited their structures. He did not even collect a dime, its over 12yrs now and there is no issue over the land.

He is very very intelligent.

One of the reasons I called him interesting.

Sunday Igboho, interesting character.

re-bagged rice

Not re-bagged.

[right][/right]if you like blow grammar till day break,this fight is not for me and my family

Did anyone invite you and your family?

NuclearWinter:
Be careful of what you wish for, for it may come to pass.

You want anarchy to prevail in the north so that your almajiri allies will do what you don't have the balls to do in Ibadan.


Let it happen. No be today them dey crase for north but any rubbish up north will be blamed on your Osinbanjo and it will expose the level of his incompetency and total lack of control on the security apparatus in the country.

That is where the blowback will come back and haunt you children of satan.

You keep referring to northerners with derogatory words like almajiri north and you want people to believe someone other than a hateful ipod was behind the cow story.

Mace0lane:
The question to ask is why should there be a reason for restructuring when it was dead brain Igbo Aguiyi Ironsi that destroyed CONFEREDERALISM ?!

What is lacking in confederalism that is in restructuring ? OP tell us 2 of such things ? And lastly do you think it is justified that a tribe that truncated conferederalism n supported a party that did not deem restructuring fit for 16 year should be the one making noise for it now ?

How you genuinely answer this questions will attest to whether your intention is holistic or you are just being foolish like other PDP fools on NL.

Fools will argue this should be apolitical discussbut to have genuine solutions all views including political should be considered.

It wasn't con federalism per se. It was a system similar to the present constitution of Canada and Australia. This is the best constitution for a country like Nigeria and it is on record that Nigeria was moving ahead economically before the system was truncated.
Politically, the country was too young to experience the type of violence and distrust brought about by the first coup.
The constitution we have today was not agreed to by Nigerians, it was fostered on us by the military and this is the source of our problems.

Which IPOB stand firm?

You mean these muds swimmers?

They are not not mud swimmers, that is the amphibious unit of the ipod army. They assume swimming positions when they are about to strike.......very deadly unit.

LastSurvivor11:
We warned them, they said we hate buhari, we protested they supported python dance instead of the people..
Today who is suffering the most??

Let’s deal with our change

You warned them of what? The same problems we have now existed under Jonathan why were you the greatest proponents of one Nigeria then?
Ibo agitation started when Jonathan lost. This is why everyone must be careful because every group have their own agenda. Don't be fooled by Ipobs, for them it's not about insecurity in the country. It is all about hate.

Let's stop all these tribal nonsense.The guy leading this protest did not give it any tribal coloration.Must we identify any issue based on our tribal leaning.I pray God will help us to overcome all these irrational behavior.

They are not very smart. If Nnamdi Kanu had started his own agitation this way without focusing on hate and vilifying other ethnic groups, if it was strictly on how to make Nigeria a better country perhaps he would have gained a lot of support and respect from other Nigerians. No, he started a radio and started spewing hate and other nonsense.

NaijaRoyalty:
Nnamdi Kanu single handedly sent shiver down Buhari's spine

I admire his courage

Ndigbo are courageous people .

We didn't run away from the police.. the more of our people they kill the more we kept multiplying .

No Igbo man should participate in this protest , let it be between Yoruba and Buhari men .

Where were you during the June 12 struggle? Didn't you run as well?

Nigerian police, they will play into the hands of people who wants to bring this country down. Whether this is going to be good or bad remains to be seen.

sanity12:
so what did u see o chest beater

He saw akpu and ofe nsala.

9icest:
Still got a coz there and the last time we spoke his best was just killed during a drive by shooting. The guy told me at least 20 to 40 die daily in Chiraq, that’s what we call Chicago. You can just type on google how many people die daily in ONLY Chicago daily in the US and you will realize Nigeria media is the most stupidest in the entire world. Countries with far worse security situations in Nigeria are not telling the world their ish, everything here must be politicized.

God bless you.

simonlee:
and we'll have the chaos in the USA happening right now!
Truth is nobody should be allowed to keep and bear arms except security personnel, but of course, herdsmen are glorified Nigerians thanks to our darling dullard in Aso Rock so they'll always get away with it

You are right, but the only reason why the herdsmen are able to perpetrate their crimes is because their victims are not able to defend themselves. Villages are being wiped out and the names changed!
If the government cannot stop this people will find their own AK47 eventually.

Not a bad thing as long as other Nigerians are allowed to carry AK47 around as well.

If it were another poster I would have doubted this story.

I still doubt the story.

Jarus:
Spoke with her 2 days ago.

What we provided her could not have sustained her for long though. About N250k or so.

I heard someone won N2m for her on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire also a couple of years back. I asked her whether she got that. She said she never did. Maybe she didnt understand what I was describing.

Although she has lost most of her children, there was still one that also spoke to me when I phoned her 2 days ago. Possibly the family also share these gifts with her.

Thank you and God bless you for being selfless. Her son made Nigeria proud.

I thought they were going to prevent him from setting himself ablaze!
Discordant tunes, this is what happens when the police are not allowed to do their job.

Garri don suffer, never recognized with a festival like this though more widely consumed.

Yyeske:
Why not create another thread about other coups that followed? This is about the 1st coup in case you've forgotten.

Of course, because in your opinion everything happened in isolation to each other. The first coup and others had zero connection to each other.
Some patriotic Nigerian officers woke up one day and decided to change the government, six months later some other patriotic Nigerian officers decided to overthrow the first set. All the other coups were led by patriotic Nigerian soldiers trying to save the country. Ok.

Iamgrey5:
It was not particularly an Igbo coup because majority of the average Igbos on the street were not in on the conspiracy.

But It was designed in such a way that it favoured Igbo elites at the expense of the elites from other part of Nigeria. This is aspect no one can deny.

Exactly, but what about the other coups that followed? Were they Hausa/Fulani coups?

Iamgrey5:
This is mind blowing.



1966 maybe a coup led by majority Igbos officers but it is unfair to call it an Igbo coup.

Unfair in the sense that ibos in general did not have a meeting where they decided to forcefully change the government. But based on the same logic we can conclude that all the other subsequent coups were not Northern or Hausa/Fulani coups, but we know that is not true.

igbodefender:
Of course, the 1966 coup was not an Igbo coup. The officers who planned it said they wanted to foist Awolowo The Great in power. But they should have retired and campaigned for Awolowo instead of trying to install him through coup.
Ifeanyi Ifeajuna, Wale Ademoyega, Kaduna Nzeogwu.

Ifeajuna was not planning to install Awolowo. I read somewhere he had some kind of relationship with Azikiwe and that he probably alerted Azikiwe to the plans. This is why Azikiwe was conveniently away for medical reasons when the coup happened.
It was indeed an Igbo coup.
The only thing I don't understand is why Ironsi did not ensure the deputy prime minister was sworn in since the coup failed. He quickly took over and started making blunders after blunders.
