Oh you are talking about the civil war?! You mean only Igbos died during the war?!

Olodo were did the civil war predominantly take place

And why weren't thousands of Yorubas killed since Yorubas were involved in that coup

Since you can't answer stfu

Felimax:
"Anyway why they couldn't kill Igbo elites was their problem and I won't come defend that"

Just imagine the double standards!
It was an Igbo coup QED!

Aguinyi did more damage to Nigeria than any other military ruler ever did.
From federative system to presidential with a lot of useless executive order.

He changed the trajectory of this country and that is why till date the Igbos remain almost unforgiven. Ojukwu came and took this country to another civil war. You cannot change the narrative no matter how much you try.

We know the stories, we know our history.

Pls olodo... what I meant was that I have no excuse why the coup failed with some Igbo elites and if the counter coup were Igbo generals were killed wasn't enough to satisfy your blood lust & false propaganda


Then you are daft you serial betrayers

Softmirror:
You read how IBB himself did put it. Nzeogwu was seen more of a 'HAUSA' but yet killed Sadauna and Ahmadu Bello and you expect such betrayal not to face such consequences?!

Like I said gutter reasoning

U still don't want to answer my question you daft man

Does this coup justify killing millions of Igbos ?

There was counter coup that killed Igbos
Then followed a general progom killing Igbos in the north
Then 3 million Igbos in the east

Like I said I know how daft you are and looking for argument but thanks for the engagement in my post at least it will boost more viewers to see the light & not foolish arguments

Softmirror:
Let us here what you have to say about Sadauna and Tafawa Balewa?! What is the justification for killing them?! MadPolitician

Typical...so having done a counter coup that killed many Igbo generals

Your stuupidity doesn't want to acknowledge that an equal measure was carried out as justice even they killed the Igbo general that helped crushed the first coup

I have given you reason as to why Tafawa belewa was killed... research on the atrocities of this man towards the middle belt ethnic groups olodo

MadPolitician:
Akintola was a menace .
The problem with you guys is that you lot from the south west are tone deaf. You only listen to your uncles. Read the accounts of the events as was written by some of the Coup plotters and they will tell you how Nzeogwu hated Akintola for always flying into Kaduna at nights to meet and plan with the Sarduana. That was while the south west was boiling. Nzeogwu got to know about their itinerary because he was in charge of military intelligence at Kaduna. Awolowo was imprisoned because of Akintola . Operation wetie that gulped many lives in the southwest, was caused by this same man, who has now become a yoruba hero just so some people can justify a nasty narrative about igbos plotting an ethnic coup. When the soldiers arrived to pick him up on January 15, the scallywag started shooting at the soldiers.
He put in a hell of work to earn those bullets

You don't force some children of betrayers to accept that they were wrong & that all this was elite power struggle

Because before this coup there was clear corruption in govt and killings even ethnic cleansing in the middle belt by Tafa belewa & his gang

But noo...they just want to look for an excuse of killing 3 million Igbos

Softmirror:
Lol 😂. IBB is not called an EVIL GENIUS or MARADONA for no reason.

So you also believe Abacha annulled the June 12 election without the knowledge of IBB?!

Oga I rather believe the person in the game and that has seen it all and that have exposed the lies & hypocrisy of his kinsmen than listen to you child that is trying to spin the narrative

Millions were killed over a grievance of not killing a few
Does that make any sense to you ?

& FYI the Yorubas fanned the flames of the bloodshed of these millions to deflect their own involvement

I won't defend why they weren't successful in killing Igbo elites
But shouldn't the knowledge of a few Igbo military general that crushed & resisted the same coup also messaged to pacify the tension rising from the North

But noooo

Yoruba news media escalated it

kettykin:
Captain O. Oji was assigned the task of killing Aguiyi Ironsi but Aguiyi Ironsi was at an official function that involved foreign dignitaries that lasted into the night. Before the event finished, he had gotten wind about what was going on and escaped. I heard the story that Zik was outside the country on medical vacation. If the coup was about killing Nigeria leaders, how come Awolowo was spared. He was the most vulnerable Because he was in jail in calabar

The coup was to release him and put him in power that's why

First we thank God for keeping IBB alive to actually reveal the real truth not just the about the coup but the annulment of the election which Lt Abiola won

That said...so we have 1 Igbo personnel involved in this coup plot...ok let add Nzeogwu for good measure so that brainless people won't look for something foolish to argue with

By my calculations we had 2 Igbos, 4 Yorubas and host of others from various other ethnicities

It's clear it wasn't an Igbo Coup because one of the reasons the northerners believed it was so according to one retired general who was scrutinized about a book he wrote about the coup he said was because historically coup plots are always conspired and supported by a majority of a particular tribe. But his reasoning was shut down during the hearing because by calculation a majority were Yorubas not Igbos

Secondly why were other subsequent coups carried out by Northern military men not tagged Fulani/hausa coup...he couldn't respond but only said that those ones were based on the person that carried out . for example Buhari coup instead of calling it Fulani coup

The evil narrative goes deeper

So now let's just know that

1) It wasn't an Igbo Coup based on numbers
2) Ojokwu and another Igbo general were mentioned to be involved to have crushed or resisted the coup...(the yoruba propaganda news media didn't cover that)
3) the intention of the coup was to put Awolowo in power

Ok another argument they will bring up is why were few Igbo elites spared during the failed coup attempt

Now there are accounts to this..even IBB mentioned of an Igbo general killed by his own brother right in front of his pregnant wife during that bloody coup.
Anyway why they couldn't kill Igbo elites was their problem and I won't come defend that

But then I wonder why I share a country with some people from these two ethnic groups that have gutter reasoning

Here is the clarification

Ok they failed to kill a few Igbo elites...while they killed SW & Northern elites (elites means few people)
What then happened as your response

Northerners carried out a progrom in killing thousands of Igbos in the North

That bloodshed wasn't enough ...you killed extra 3 million Igbos because of a coup that took probably 40+ lives ..a coup that wasn't an Igbo Coup to start with

And we think that the blood shed of those innocent 3 million igbos won't have a counter negative effect on this abomination called Nigeria

3 million plus thousands that were killed up north was what satisfied the grievance of Northerners over a few elites of theirs that died
Mind Tafawa belewa was before his death was killing a lot of people in the middle eastern region

Ok I ask...why wasn't a thousand if not millions of Yorubas also killed ? Since we had a staggering four coup plotters involved ?

My Igbo brothers & sisters we are vindicated but will these wounds heal I doubt

This truth is but a stepping stone to keep our head held up high..we are not slaves neither the guilty but victims to elite power struggle, disinformation and fear of our talent echoed by Tafawa belewa

Only time will tell...today when we look across at the North those who boxed us in ..waged war on us...the Igbos who were set back by war has come out much better & thrived in education, finance, tech, etc while those in the North breed illiteracy, poverty & banditry

We know how sad it went for Awolowo & others

God is with what..no matter how they try to shut us down we will keep excelling.

I hope to the reasonable SW & Northern people that they see the light..but then again as Igbos we don't care what you think but let the truth be set straight so that we know who is guilty & innocent

Igbo billionaires try invest in news media British & Yorubas media did Igbos dirty. If not for wetin dey do trump I no for understand how propaganda can be so evil

Slytiger:
What are you talking about exactly.

Open one Nairaland thread and it's one victim mentality to another. Una no dey tire.

Are the people below Yorubas? No.

if you want pictures mumu I will give u pictures of your criminal brothers

I dey ready for una bas...tards that think through their anus

overall90:
It's random because she did not endorse your hate.
How can an enlightened person Will even think that there are more yorubas than igbos in Cameroon.
Cameroon not Benin republic

Plus it's funny how you think there aren't more Igbos in Cameron compared to Yorubas. And Cameroonians aren't complaining or wailing or spitting hatred online

DevilsEqual:
A random comment from a random user that dishes out phantom stats from her Amaka head

No be only 80%

That aside. U guys should stop bringing opinion of unknown individuals here. We really dont care about them.

Getting or not getting validations from a foreigner shouldnt define you as a group. The inferiority complex shouldnt be that deep

Same as stop mentioning Igbos from your mouth

You spread lies to other countries and expect us to keep quiet

Go and educate your brothers that are riddled with inferiority complex and hatred to stop gaslighting other African countries against the igbo

Whatever hate you try peddling against the Igbos outside...

Other African countries knows your tribe well already

Keep going around disgracing yourselves

Aldol:
No substance again? Yeye

I refuse to trade words with an olodo
Continue in your stewpidity

clearcrystal:
You guys can use Onne Sea Port which is very very close to Imo. You guys can use it and stop giving excuses.

Ozuor

I love my few Educated Igbo friends, we relate well and they know their boundaries.

Ur ignorance is that you think we can do that without your political elites giving the go ahead or license.

As an olodo u are ..Igbos aren't ur problem in Lagos...tell ur political elites; the incompetent ones u elect just to teach Igbos a lessons to please open those seaports.

Aldol:
Retarded illiterates who always accuse people of what they represent 100%. Worst tribalistic people yet they accuse others of tribalism. Worst betrayers and pretender yet they accuse others of it.

Blah blah blah...are u done otondo

Benzigler:
We will soon return the favor, continue running your semellyy mouth all over nairaland

Sorry bro not for you

adekolaelect:
Your thread is among the reason you get what you are in to. You feel to have people protecting you as one Nigeria outside the country mater but keep insulting them? Yorubas are not found of having blind support in any way , politic , fraud or fight. Attitudes mater in everything . Yorubas will ask questing before joining his or her family members to fight someone else. They don't just support or protect Immoral simply bcs someone is their family or tribe man.

There is nothing wrong to stand again crime..to ask questions before joining a fight

I am not against it..SA has a right to do whatever they want

But as a Pan-African I am not in support of bullying till everything is cleared up

On another note...tell your Yoruba brothers if they can't behave like you...let them stop dragging Igbos in the matter

The problem was the bullying and xenophobic attack on the lady...but down the line ur tribe chose to tribalise it to look good for South Africans

You can play your games...we play ours

Alexis11:
Now having known all this, why are you still crying? what is the need for this thread??

Why can't we both keep enjoying the flow?

Because am Pan-African and a Nigerian

Am not a chameleon looking for groups to gaslight into conflict

Aldol:
Well tomorrow is Monday,Simon Okpa will do his God sent work

And which tribe celebrated the killing of peaceful protesters that are now armed and tagged UGM or terrorists

You guys keep increasing the problems of this country..but we thank you for the lesson you are teaching us

Bunch of chameleons

Benzigler:
Don't take those cowards by nature with 2 face seriously, they are well known all over Nigeria as cowards who love being slaves to Fulanis

That's just what they are..
They are ready to antagonize two parties/groups either to save themselves or gain something from the conflict

Alexis11:
We are ready to do it wherever you do your own.

You should understand, unlike the Northerners that you insult and gaslight online but show fake love offline, the Yorubas are available for you online, offline, and beyond. 😂

We are learning from you bunch of otondos on the art of gaslighting...

Na una start am with northerners, south Africans, etc we learn & reciprocate the gesture

So stop crying and keep teaching us ur gaslighting technique

Alexis11:
Yorubas throwing Igbos under the bus you say?

Igbos advocating that Tobi Amusan, fellow Nigerian should be jailed over the malicious doping test case are throwing Yorubas over the bus?? 😂

Cl.owns 😆

Yorubas advocating that south Africans should burn and loot Igbo businesses during their xenophobic attack on Nigerians just to be spared

Cowardice run una veins...
If some igbos did it to Tobi .. note that Yorubas started it online on Twitter during xenophobia

We never forget
