Politics › Re: Johnson Aguiyi-ironsi's 93rd Posthumous Birthday Is Today by ItsMeAboki(m): 6:54am On Mar 04, 2017

gartamanta:
The so called 'Newspaper headline' can be made by anyone with a good computer and the right software. Even I could this. Since none of us can go back 50 years in time to verify the News Headline, there is a much easier way. There are people who were arond 50 years ago. Ask any of them these two questions.

How is it possible that Ironsi abolished or dissolved the regions if the 4 Regions were still existing after he died? Ironsi died in July 1966 but the Military Governors of all 4 Regions met with Gowon in Aburi Ghana in January 1967. How is it that Ironsi abolished the Regions in 1966 but they still existed in 1967, long after he was dead?
Second thing I need to know . If Ironsi dissolved the 4 Regions, what did he replace them with?
Flashing new whixh is too old to be verified is not good enough, answer questions

You are trying to be clever by half and ending up achieving none.

In this modern age of internet and search engines (when you can do your own independent research); all you need to do is google up any information for verification - its as simple as that; in this case e.g. Ironsi, decree 34 of May 24 1966 etc.

Ironsi replaced the regions with provinces but obviously didn't live long enough to fully implement them - he nonetheless was responsible for dismantling the autonomous regions and ushering in the unitary central government we have inherited today.
Note, if even as at today, 51 years later, we still using the old regional nomenclature in our everyday language - what would you have expected merely a year later (as at 1967)?

BTW, my father and uncles were all living adult witnesses throughout the above period and had fully versed me on their experiences

How could Ironsi have abolished or dissolved the Regions when all 4 Regions were existing even after he died?

You are obviously in denial, even in the face of the evidence (uploaded newspaper headlines and citing of the instrument i.e. decree 34) which he used to dissolve the regions.

Wiseandtrue:
Mtcheeeeeeew this Elrufai with his archaic ways.
[b]What happen to freedom of speech.
Agreed Audu posted a wrong information why not use the same means to refute or counter his claims
Then summon him and tell him his mistakes.
Publish it to create deterrent for others who might want to tow that line
Power shall [/b]

Freedom of speech does not include freedom to lie and spread false information capable of causing a breach of the peace and possible loss of lives and property
And yes, the man was summoned to his mistake but he stubbornly refused to budge, choosing instead to irresponsibly stick to his false story - much in the same was as you deliberately chose to ignore this very part of the article.

@ TOPIC:
How I wish El-Rufia would also come sanitise Nairaland from so many outright deliberate propagators of falsehood along with those who choose to distort information to suit their agenda; the same should also be extended to the mainstream media houses because quite a few of them had been lazy and unprofessional in their reporting - imagine Vanguard publishing this blatantly false story as truth, without any verification before hand.

I think the national assembly should reconsider bringing back the social media bill in view of recent events concerning increasingly divisive inciting statements, often false or misleading by bloggers and in other social media platforms, as well as by some of our not so responsible political and religious leaders.

Aguiyi-ironsi's is one of the weakest, mediocre, incompetent, tribalistic and useless head of state to rule Nigeria. He really never ruled anyway.
His weakness and tribalism led to the civil war, Nigeria should erase this m0rons from its history!

He abolished the regional system, including resource control, in order to selfishly concentrate and consolidate power centrally to himself and his Igbo kinsmen - never imagining northerners could fight back.

Southerners, particularly from the SS & SE complaining and clamouring for restructuring and resource control should not forget that the bane of the their present woes started from one of their own and not from the north.

Students of history would also tell you that: the selective killings of northern leaders and army officers in the Igbo led 1966 coup, Ironsi's failure to take action against the coup plotters, dissolution and unification of the former regions by decree 34 under a unitary system (the basic structure we have inherited till today) and Igbos public celebration, taunting and mocking of northerners over the brutal cold murder their leaders (the Sardauna, Balewa & co) in Jan 1966 Igbo coup, were together a culmination of the factors that led to the counter coup, the July 1966 northern riots and reprisal killings of Igbos, and ultimately the civil war in which even more Igbos died.

In short; Igbos opened the Pandora's box and are the root course of all our wahala today.

Christianity Etc › Re: "I'm A Muslim, My Christian Fiancee Wants Me To Become Christian Before We Wed" by ItsMeAboki(m): 9:24pm On Feb 28, 2017

lalasticlala:
I got this mail. Kindly read and share your views and advice. The person in question is reading. Thanks. See the unedited mail after the cut.

YOUR ADVICE IS NEEDED: I AM BEEN PRESSURED TO GET MARRIED AND ALSO CHANGING MY RELIGION

"I wonder why she should be pressuring me to change my religion before getting married to her. I sorted an advice from a pastor, and I was told that she was not the woman for me. That i will have problems along the marriage. After I few consideration, I decided to also sort for advice from Nairalanders.

I am a muslim and my woman is a christian. She is forcing me to change my religion which i have been practicing since childhood. Taking such a decision is not that easy you know. To change my religion because of a woman? I don't think it is right. She has also refuse to change to my religion. Now, her family are pressuring and want me to change my religion. I am writing this to seek advice from Nairalanders to give me direction to follow... I know many will yab, insult or in-sugar me... I just need a candid advice."

This is a no brainer, if you say you are really a Muslim then you should know that the Religion of Islam categorically forbids any of its followers to change from the faith, in fact it is the biggest sacrilege you can commit and one of the rare occasions it is permissible to disobey one's parents.

Islam permits marriage between a Muslim male to a non Muslim female provided she is chaste and from the people of the book (i.e. faiths with religious books e.g. Bible, Torah etc) such as Christians, Jews etc.

In such marriage the Muslim husband is not allowed to compel his non Muslim wife to change from her religion (as there is no compulsion in Islam); however, it is hoped that by being an exemplary Muslim and husband, the wife would eventually see the beauty of Islam and therefore revert voluntarily.

Furthermore, children borne out of this union are not allowed to be brought up outside Islam but as Muslims.

In view the above, my advice to you is to repent and ask for Allah's forgiveness (for even musing over such a sinful thought) and remain steadfast to your faith; and if she would not marry you as a Muslim then she is not meant to be your wife - do not sacrifice your life in the hereafter (paradise) for a woman, who may not necessarily remain loyal and married to you in this life.

Remember, anyone who rejects Islam, for any reason, has invariably bought his one way ticket to hell fire - for it is the greatest sin against Allah.

Now you know; I hope you will make the right choice.

Quite on the contrary; I am in no pain at all; and no the thread is about a government assisted mass wedding in a particular state based on the choice of about 1520 individuals to go into wedlock (nothing more nothing less) and subsequently by extension, your comment opposing that choice - so pls do not shift the goal post.

I respect your maturity... and calm.

I just watched the video from another thread

And this is not even an official parade

Judging from the comments made in the baground by other soldiers

This is just a bunch of soldiers killing time and probably playing a game to see if you can command a parade in hausa language...

Those comment are meant to cause friction between people and I bet the op is not in the military

And like I said English remain the official language of the military and Nigeria at large ...

I also watched the video clip and what immediately became apparent to me was the feeling that the clip was likely a scene from a Hausa movie or at best some northern soldiers fooling around among themselves; though I am more inclined to believe the former because their movement, especially of the parade commander, did not appear all that professional but rather amateurish as if by an actor not well honed in military parade.

What is most amusing is how many of these IPOBs youths are almost having seizures and heart attacks over a small minor issue like this - LOL, cheesy
