Is it also a cultural thing for Yes daddy Bitter Obi to talk about the election being a religious war

You Muslims are so foolish... So MuMu ticket wasn't a religious war abi? In a country where we equally have both Christians and Muslims your myopic principal decided to go for MuMu ticket and you call that what? Mr Man use your tongue to count your teeth!

I read somewhere that ewedu has a devastating effect on the brain but I didn't believe it. Reading your comments on Nairaland alway validate that research.

Dave umahi, an apc chieftain, a one time governor and a strong promoter of apc in the south east came out openly to admit that his family voted for labour party against his wish in the last election, if it could get to that level. It's no surprise that it's only people with your type of brain that will believe that labour party rigged in the south east

Are you minding them... A party they said had no structure rigged a whole APC and PDP out... No be juju be that!? They are just saying that to counter Obidients claim that the presidential election was rigged (which actually is the truth) but I wonder if they think majority of Nigerians are kids that they can sway with their baseless propaganda.

😆 🤣 😂 Lol....see assumptions and guess work.....

Madam stop denying your people... It is your people that display this kind of foolishness all around.

ChukwuEmeka00:
🤣🤣🤣🤣... Blah blah blah.

That's such a chicken-brained reasoning. Because most of the planners were Igbo, that makes it an Igbo coup agreed upon by all Igbo people and stopped by an Igbo man?

That's really smart o. Wow!

That's like calling the Murtala Mohammed coup a Fulani coup.

Is the IBB coup a Fulani coup too? What of Abacha's coup? What of Buhari's coup in which a Yoruba officer was assassinated for finding out the plans? Is that a Fulani coup?

The way you ethnic bigots reason should be the 8th wonder of the world.

I'm quoting an eye witness and participant of the coup, but you accuse me of revising history? There are at least 3 books by eye witnesses and part of the coupists including another Yoruba man who wrote "The Reluctant Rebel." I know you wouldn't read the books/accounts of the Igbo participants so no need recommending theirs.

Interestingly, you've not presented any facts to back up your claims. You only present your opinions, a baby probably born in the 2000s, as factual representation of events in 1960 without evidence.

What kind of hateful person are you?

Nzeogwu was Ademoyega's possible best friend (he spoke highly of him till death).

Ademoyega also met Ifeajuna before he joined the army, and they started talking about revolution in Nigeria long before they became close friends.

But you think what you said is logical.

Adekunle Fajuyi would have joined them, but he was sent on Leave. What about Capt. Adeleke? Lt. Tijani Hassan, Lt. Dag Warribor, Lt. John Kpera.

Even Col. Victor Banjo was sympathetic to their mission, but he was recruiting soldiers for another coup being planned by Ademulegun for 17th January. Banjo said that himself, not me.

Ojukwu refused to join them; likewise Madiebo, Nzefili, Nwawo (who handed over Nzeogwu to Ironsi (all Igbos). Even Ogunewe (my kinsman) didn't join in from Enugu (which contributed to why the coup failed in the East asides the sudden FG order to send Maj. Chude Sokei to India for a course).

They also approached Adegoke, Abisoye and Bisalla, among others who also refused. Were they Igbos too?

Please stop this campaign of misinformation and ethnic bigotry. I'm only engaging you for the sake of other readers so you won't deceive them with this tribalistic propaganda.

Their plan was to arrest or kill: Ironsi (Head of the Army), Ademulegun, Maimalari, Kur Mohammed,Pam, Shodeinde, Unegbe and Largema as well as Azikiwe, Ọkpara, Okotie-eboh, Ahmadu Bello, Balewa, Akintola, etc. And take over the government, and then send a plane to Calabar to free Awolowo from Prison.

These are according to eye witness accounts. I'm sure you've never heard any of these names before because you're grossly uninformed about history. You're blinded by your unreasonable hatred of Igbos.

If you're so delusional that you'll believe your own biases and false propaganda instead of the actual accounts of eye witnesseses, then so be it.

If you want to know the truth, read eye witness accounts and stop fooling yourself with cheap propaganda.

If your kind were to be a Judge in the court of law, evidence and eye witnesses won't mean anything to you; you'll simply sentence someone to prison if you feel like it.

As your name suggests, you're a Confused Lady and I don't think it's useful engaging anyone who chooses feelings over facts.

Don't mind the lady she is really confused. I argued this same thing with her in the other thread but she held on to her own biased narratives instead of that of a first hand partaker. I guess she is from the West and of cos will not want to agree that the coup was solely not an Eastern thing.

flokii:
He didn't wish PBAT happy birthday na, so why should Soyinka's own come as a surprise?.

Professor Wole Soyinka is bigger than Peter Obi in all spheres of life.. Obi is not fit to lace Prof. Soyinka's shoes in all sense of sincerity. Happy 90th birthday to our own Nobel Laureate.

It's only those Yorubas who haven't crossed the borders of South West to mingle with other ethnicities that think Obi is worthy of anyone's support. It's only when they want to cheat you or use you that they smile with.[b][/b]Nobody will celebrate him or any of his family members going forward

Wishful thinking

ElSudani:
Who needs a congratulatory message from the undercover IPOB leader and his dumb followers?

Then why are you guys crying over his not celebrating WS.

This is why I laugh when I see comments from deranged obidient ipob dolt like you

Your Peter Obi was caught red handed by Lagos state police commissioner Marvel Akpoyibo with his personal governor's convoy ferrying ₦250 million monthly from Anambra secretariat to his warehouse in Orile Lagos.

1. I have provided you with exact amount he was caught with.

2. I provided where he looted money from.

3. I provided where the looted fund was delivered to

4. I gave you the name of the perosn that caught him red handed

I can provide you further details as regard what was done to the money confiscated from Peter Obi convey.

I can provide you details of who saved him that did not allowed Peter obi to be jailed for that looting.

With all this abundant detail n prove you call the claim witch-hunt.

Did Bola Tinubu not ask anyone with corruption case against him to take him to court ? Why is Peter Obi afraid of going to court that he as to be jumping n running from APGA to PDP just to evade arrest ?

Please tell us who saved him and why the Tinubu led government is yet to probe him as we can see he is a pain in the ass to them. You Agbadorians and stupid shalayes don't fail to marvel us. As they call you guys 'Happy Slave', you always try to live up to that name. Anu Mpama!

softtorce:
Bro Allison Madukwe James Ibori n others are all saint as EFCC never do the needful on them as well. Sebi to show that you are foolish n destined to perish in foolishness de hungry I will send you there.

You are a very big slowpoke... Obi was vying for a sensitive post and that should have been used to witch hunt him but they couldn't and moreover he himself told them to bring out any corruption charges against him and they all ran away. Make you Agbadorians try dey find facts before spewing trash all over the Internet cos it makes you all look cheap and desperate to cling on fallacies. Idiots!

helinues:
Answer my question. Is Bwala now your new lawd and saviour?

Is reno now your new lord and savior?

softtorce:
Agreed !

What about those of you that believed a Pandora Criminal in Peter Peter Obi who looted Anambra to death looting ₦250 million monthly for good 8 years nko ?!

He looted Anambra of 250 million naira monthly for 8 years and yet EFCC never do the needful abi? You guys and lies are like 5 and 6.

Please bring the building down before it comes down on people's head during mass... Prevention is better than cure. I am a Catholic anyway but have to say the truth.

It gives out that ashawo vibes.

SeeWahala:
My dad was a soldier on the biafran side in the civil war. He is still alive today. Everything you wrote here is true especially the fact that the then western regional crisis was the purveyor of the war.

Truth is there is nobody who can dispute what you wrote. This is the simple reason history was deleted from being a subject in schools curriculum. They will try to bend the truth all they like but it will remain sacrosanct.

You have done extremely well in dispensing information to the less informed. You can rest easy knowing this thread has made its impact now and will in future days.

They will try to bend the truth but we know better. Sad history was deleted from school curriculum but I think recently they have started to bring it back though not yet widely spread cos I thought history while I was still a teacher ( especially in primary school )

Suit yourself.....
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Sure very terrible!

confusedlady:
You need to read a lot of more books about the January 1966 coup but I know you wouldn't do that because it doesn't suit your Ibo supremacist agenda.
I repeat over the course of four years of 1962-1966 the dramatic personel recruited into that coup changed drastically. Ademoyega who was a pawn in the hands of Ifeajuna and Nzeogwu's hands never understood he was being used and was only recruited like several others as an afterthought to prevent the coup being tagged an Ibo coup.
The only constant plotters in that January 1966 coup were the master minds Ifeajuna and Nzeogwu.

You can take any narrative you like but I still take my stand that what A. Ademoyega wrote was what really happened and not what you guys want to believe. He even said it himself that Nigerians were already giving a false narrative of the events that led to the 1966 coup. So Ademoyega's narrative or no other else.

[quote author=meditator post=130863681]I'm also sure his career is better than Obi's time as Anambara Governor. While Hanks receives advice from sensibly people, the other failure receives his from mad men[/quot


So who is the present failure receiving his own advice from?... The Devil?

confusedlady:
I see you swallowed Ademoyegas tale:hook,line and sinker. I repeat Ademoyega was not one of the initial plotters of that coup. The only constants were Ifeajuna and Nzeogwu who recruited others.
Ademoyega himself did not realise he was being used like a pawn by Ifeajuna and Nzeogwu to try to give the coup a semblance of being nationalistic. Ademoyega was just a smoke screen to stop people labelling the January 66 coup an Ibo coup!

Whose account should I believe or take? someone who actively took part in the coup and also was among the original plotters of the coup or you who just got your information from hearsay and what others who merely knew what or why the coup was conducted. I will readily take the account of Ademoyega any day and time cos he had first hand experience and of cos you can't say he is Igbo who decided to skip details to change narratives... Can you? Ademoyega was the missing link in the real story and he has said it how it occurred. You can go own to believe whatever you want but we will take it directly from the horse's mouth.

confusedlady:
My question to you,is when was Adewale Ademoyega brought into this coup plot by Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna and Onwuatuegwu?
Was Ademoyega among the original planners of the January 66 coup? I hope you know that this coup plans actually were started in 1962 and at that time Ademoyega was not among the platters. The only consistent and ever present plotters were Ifeajuna who was the master mind and Nzeogwu.
Between 1962 and 1966 many officers were added and discarded for various reasons until they settled on the final 5 majors on the 15th of January 1966.

Ademoyega had always had the mind of setting things right before he joined the army, he wasn't happy the way the country was being run by those corrupt and selfish politicians. He even said it himself that he stylishly chipped in the idea to Ironsi when he met him during his training (military) abroad but he (Ironsi) was buying the idea. So he was glad to meet other learned officers who were ready and willing to carry out the coup for the betterment of the country. Their plan was to send a junior officer on a plane to effect the prompt release of Awolowo immediately the coup had been carried out successfully. Ironsi was also their major target cos he was the GOC then and had to been captured with the others but was lucky ( or intentionally spared by one of the plotters ) to evade being captured leading to the collapse of the coup. If Ironsi had been successfully captured, the story would have taken a different turn and the events that followed the coup afterwards wouldn't have occured cos the plotters had it all planned out in how to govern the country fairly.

Aburi accord was done. Do u know what it means to find a northerner living in the east who was a third generation northerner whose ancestors lived in the east, to testify.

They could find someone like that out of millions, but picture of this bread label or any testimony about this bread label wasn’t mentioned in Oputa panel, but all of a sudden it exists and u can just find it if u want to and the bread happens to be a fresh bread despite the fact that the matter happened in 1966.

True

Coldie:
It’s surprising.


Right now if today today a coup like that was to happen again, people be asking y they did not kill Peter obi?

It’s crazy

This guy just dey speak candidly to those biased entities. My guy ride on!

Coldie:
I have never read that book, this is my personal findings from deep research.

People are saying but Michael okpara want killed, Michael okpara had nothing to do with the western crisis, he had nothing to do with the violence in the west. Y then should they kill him.

Well said!

VinnyBaba:
Why CAN'T you read well? 😏

The OP already explained that Balewa, Ahmadu Bello,Akintola and Okotie-Eboh were all Killed because they are Actual Cause of the Unrest we had in Nigeria then.😒

You expect the Coupists to Kill Azikiwe who held no Important office?
Or Michael Okpara who had no Business with anything at the Federal level?

Exactly! OP made it clear why they weren't targeted but they won't want to buy that idea cos it doesn't favour their narratives

Coldie:
Your story is not straight forward it’s only when u want to ask me questions, that u come straight.

Reason is u hv doubts in what u say.


Tell us the part ojukwu renegeded on, the agreement is here: enlighten me :
Aburi accord is as follows:
"Members agree that the legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government should remain in the Supreme Military Council, to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided that where it is possible for a meeting to be held the matter requiring determination must be referred to military governors for their comment and concurrence.
Specifically, the council agreed that appointments to senior ranks in the police, diplomatic, and consular services as well as appointment to superscale posts in the federal civil service and the equivalent posts in the statutory corporation must be approved by the Supreme Military Council.
The regional members felt that all the decrees passed since January 15, 1966, and which detracted from previous powers and positions of regional governments, should be repealed if mutual confidence is to be restored.[6]

Please stop replying this lady she is as confused as her Monika indicates. Even Ademoyega said it in his book that it was Gowon who decided not to honor the treaty for reasons best known to him.

Coldie:
This is a public space, I have said this before and I would say it again. Everytime I catch you in ur lies, it makes people question the integrity of other things you said.

World judge for yourself, compare these images. If igbos were jubilation using bread labels, how come the pic they used was from a video on YouTube?

LoL


Back then nzeogwu was alive and lots of his photos would hv been existing then, but it had to be the one from a YouTube video.


People wake up lie to try to justify their actions.


The truth is coming out. I would say it again the whole bread load story thing is a BIG FALLACY

And not just that, it also had a colored background. Can you imagine these people and their lies. Na wa oo just to ok paint the Igbos black

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?

The obvious fact is what you just penned down... It was even explained further by A.Ademoyega in his book Why We Struck

Afonja2000:
Mind you, not all Yorubas voted for Tinubu, and Tinubu did not win the election, he only became president by rigging

Yeah I agree with you on that

We who voted for him saw what he did in Lagos.


PO.....the God father of ipob.
He can't condemn the killing they are doing.

You saw what he did in Lagos but he cannot do the same thing in Nigeria... BAT the godfather of Agberos. He gave them upper hands to be extorting people and doing rubbish in Lagos.

Bulabaa will look for ways to escape it .

Buhari was a disaster ( he ran away from debate )

Tinubu is a catastrophe ( he hid himself from debate )


Atiku & obi and every other presidential candidate was always ready for debate 😄😄😄..

Same thing I said in the other topic posted yesterday... Atiku and Obi were ready for debates and interviews but Bulaba was just dodging up and down cos he knew he didn't have anything to offer.

This omokri guy is a big fool. What did Tinubu tell us he will do to solve the issues of Nigeria when he was just dodging interviews and debates. Even Atiku had plans and honored interviews unlike bulaba who shauned any form of debate in Nigeria
