Scared Are you for real


Which unity
Every ethnic group/Geo-political zone is pursuing it's own interests and are you seeing any one saying he is scared?

The SS support the PDP just like the SE support the PDP but this doesn't mean both the SE and the SS will always be on the same page with every political issue.

The defeat of Sen Ike Ekweremadu by Sen Ovie Omo-Agege as the Deputy Senate President clearly illustrate this point.

Check the strength and the performance of the APC in the SS and compare it with that of the SE, you will see that the APC has made significant inroad into the SS

The obsession you guys have with always dreaming of faultlines between the SS and SE reeks of fear. Open a discussion online or offline about Igbos in the SS and Yorubas are the ones screaming loudest and more passionately than even the people of the SS.

What is the performance of APC in the SS really? I honestly would like to know. Bear in mind that APC also has presence in the SE even though small like SS.

Omo-Agege is a very poor example because APC had more numbers in the Senate. If you check the voting pattern I am sure you will see that SS Senators voted heavily for Ekweremadu. Omo-Agege that was nominated by a Senator from the north.

LegendHero:
How many states constitutes the Midwest region in the SS. Why should Yoruba have problem with Edo and Delta when we honored the referendum to allow them go in peace.

The eastern region never gave the Niger Delta that luxury during the travails of Isaac Adaka Boro. Even during the Biafran war, we all know how the Biafra military massacred scores of people in Calabar and some SS’ners even fought on the side of Nigeria.

The SS should know their true friend and they will see the Igbos for who they truly are soon.

Boro was tried by a court for treason in the Eastern Region but later murdered by your very own Adekunle.

If not that Awo was out of the picture in 1963 and the Western Region had been in a low grade civil war at that time you would never have allowed them to go. Do some research. You think the SS people don't know their history?

Finally this SW propaganda of biafran massacres in calabar has been decimated time and time again. When we dug deeper we observed that it was actually a Yoruba man serving under Murtala that even supervised the Asaba genocide. Nobody believes you guys but I guess you can't help trying

oyatz:
Answer your Papa's name, what's SE/SS block?

The truth is that as at now the SE has the least electoral advantage in Nigeria but most commentors from the Geopolitical zone prefer to blame the Yorubas for their political disadvantages and they believe (like Sambalat and Tobiah) that undermining the S/West will uplift the S/East.

Why are you all so scared of SE/SS unity? Even the north is not this scared. I am starting to suspect that SW has not recovered from the trauma of the Midwest referendum.

These two clowns chart way for who?

Osagyefo98:
That's the pure truth.

Obasanjo's mischief in fielding the sickly Yar'Adua led to this Buhari presidency. He agreed a deal with the north when they put him in power in 1999 but used cunny-cunny to frustrate that "gentleman's agreement".

Yes. They will have no excuse after that to beef the South

FrLukas:
I know you don't know what you are talking about. It is this attitude of empty puerile boasting that always gets you in trouble.

Where were you when MKO Abiola died and there were riots in Yoruba land? Igbo loaded their families on truck[/b]s and fled back to the east in great numbers.

I was in Jos North LGA, Bukuru, to be precise around the years 2008-2010 which included service year among other things I was doing there then.

[b]Soldiers had to go out with their trucks to retrieve corpers serving in Jos and bring them to camp in Bukuru.

Igbo were badly massacred along with some Yorubas.

Many Igbos sent their wives and children home at the beginning of the June 12 protests in 1993. Igbos were not the target in 1998 when MKO died. Northerners in Lagos were the target in the South West and many were killed in the riots. In short you have told 50% lie 50% truth

Secondly there was no massacre of Igbos in Jos North during that period. Big fat lie. Quit fantasizing

Johans1991:
before he was murdered

I'm not aware that Ironsi ever got any notice of Araba (secession) from the north, talkless of resisting it. Pls share any links or sources. I've never heard of this before

Area4Area:
Nzegwu and his comrades carried out their coup in January and what was holding their trial or were they tried secretly?

Ask Gowon and the InvestIgation Panel why they did not submit the report to Ironsi and the military council. Also ask Gowon why a white paper was never released. Read my previous posts for more info on this.

Besides .....the Nzeogwu coup involved hundreds of elite military men and dozens of officers representing every region that struck all over the country, killed most of the leadership and destroyed the government. Do you understand the complexity of such an investigation?

You cannot compare such to Isaac Boro and three or four men blowing up pipelines and attacking police stations in a few towns inside present day Bayelsa. (Two hour drive).

Area4Area:
1. Zik, Awo and Ahmadu Bello were trying to draft a constitution for independence, he was advised to consider the requests by Bello and Awo but he refused.

2. Adaka Boro wanted an all Ijaw republic called Niger Delta republic, I never said he was fighting for the whole of Niger Delta.

3. I could agree with you to some extent here, they set the ball rolling only to be denying us now but Ironsi could have done the needful by speedily trying the coup plotters, shouldn't have attacked Adaka Boro, shouldn't have signed the anti-secession decree into law, shouldn't have refused the "Araba"(secession) the north wanted immediately after the 1st coup and other mistakes he made.

Ironsi was murdered as part of the Araba. Was it corpse that refused it?

Ribadu should sharrap abeg. No billionaires? So who is swallowing the billions that go into the fraudulent subsidy every month

Area4Area:
Akiko n'egwu, a coup where leaders from other regions were killed couldn't be investigated within weeks but Adaka Boro and his comrades who carried out theirs months later without killing anyone was tried within weeks and to be sent to the firing squad by December that year

Isaac Boro carried out his insurrection in February and was charged to court in June. A whole four months. Dont lie pls.

Why compare Boro's ragtag militia which you have said didn't kill anybody to Operation Damisa, a military coup which brought down an entire government with a number of high profile deaths. Use your head. Besides you alleged military tradition was not followed...Boro was tried by the High Court.

Area4Area:
Why weren't those coup plotters tried within weeks according to military tradition, why keeping them for months with no date for trial?

No "military tradition" demands trial "within weeks" without concluding an investigation. The investigation panel had M.D. Yusuf the Head of Special Branch, Gowon, Usman Baba and others.

Some historians have inferred that Gowon who was Ironsi's eyes on the panel and the link-man with the SMC, deliberately slowed down the finalization of the report because it disappointed the "Igbo coup" narrative. Gowon was asked at several SMC meetings on when the report would be released to the council

Rossikk:
Thank you. I am an Igbo person, but I will always tell the truth. I am not blinded by ethnic bias. What confirmed that the 1966 coup was an Igbo attempt to place themselves above other Nigerians was the refusal by the Ironsi regime to arrest the coup plotters, and the total silence of the Igbo intelligentsia in the face of that screaming injustice.

If such a thing happened in the other way round, no Igbo person would accept it. But somehow Igbos expected Nigerians to quietly accept the murder of their regional leaders plus Prime Minister? That says a lot about the narcissism of the Igbo collective.

The coup plotters were all in detention. Even Ifeajuna who was hiding in Ghana was extradited by Ironsi's government.The Special investigation panel (SIP) headed by M.D. Yusuf ( northerner) which had the mandate to investigate the coup was set to submit its report when the counter coup and genocide started. At times it sounds like Ironsi was in power for years but he was there for a few months

I know your ignorant, sad and bitter unintelligent kind, to you, even the sky that is ble a white elephant God project.

White or green elephant, how many was commissioned in the SE by the FG in 16 years before PMB?

Was Jona or OBJ ever in that region to commission anything?

You sad, bitter, hateful and unpatriotic people need to keep quiet sometimes.

You don't even know what white elephant project means chai

Na Lugard I blame for this

alhassanyusuf29:
Since the Biafra war, nyamuri flat.heads have learnt how to behave themselves in the north, that's why you ddint hear any of that "no leferendum no erection" nonsense

Since we used one nyamuri head to play football, they have been very respectful in the north.. I blame the Yoruba in SW for being too accommodating, that's why they keep disrespecting you by claiming lagos is no man's land!

You are not a northerner they don't run their mouths like this. Be bold enough to face Igbos on your own. Don't hide behind your masters...or this account

Osaze007:
Deny all you want facts don’t lie you hate your fellow southerners

engrchykae:
the reason the west hated gej is that he opposed them on same sex marriage issue.
they see themselves as colonial masters and won't tolerate a supposed slave turning down their request.
the then opposition was even romancing with the west against national interest when they refused to sell weapons to us and we opted for black market and our buyers were disgraced at south Africa via oritsejafor private jet.
apc una weldone

The west were very angry with him over the anti-gay law. Obama and Cameron took it very personal. They thought Jonathan was a weak president (like Buhari) but guy man cleared their doubts. They helped his clueless ex- dictator opponent win and thought he would sit-tight after losing so they could disgrace him but the man outsmarted them and left them for God to punish one by one

Westbestside:
Are you that lazy. I have helped you enough by giving where to read the truth from. It was written by the son of the Midwestern region. Can't help you more.

I guessed as much. You have nothing Abeg shift I'm waiting for Osaze Oshogbo to come back. I just hope he hasn't crashed Google trying to find info to back up his fabu

Westbestside:
What do this one know. All these indomie generation.

Go and read Midwest invasion of 1967.

You be small boy. Which Midwest invasion? Oya prove his allegations if you are really informed

Osaze007:
Why did Igbo army invade Midwest and declare an Igbo man as ruler of edo
Why did Igbo army sack minorities during the civil war

If anything Yoruba has played Big brother role in southern Nigeria by sacking igbos from Midwest and Niger delta so don’t go there let’s talk about today and tr hatred Igbo has on those groups

Liar

1. An anioma man from Midwest was appointed. What is your issue with that?

2. Igbos never sacked any minorities. Prove it

3. How did Yoruba sack Igbos from Niger Delta

4. Did the Midwest not vote overwhelmingly in the referendum to leave the Western Region in 1963?

Osaze007:
So why all the hate on southerners all of a sudden that it’s bashing Yoruba tomorrow Akwa Ibom & edo
And the irony is se is the poorest region in southern Nigeria

Give it up Osaze from Oshogbo your leg don show

Osaze007:
That’s how it should be
Yorubas supported Jonathan in 2011 and even led his recognition as acting president

I thought you said Igbos like to pull down their fellow southerners

Besides don't you know that it was then Minister of information Dora Akunyili that petitioned the cabinet for Jonathan to act as President while Yar Adua was sick?? Is the yoruba.

JonDon12:
What did Abiola say in 1999? You dont know your history. MKO died in 1998. That is the problem with you Yorubas, You guys dont know history and dont want to learn from it. The North has been HUMILIATING you guys since even before the British came, but because Buhari made Osibanjo Chief Bootlicker, una dey act as if una win BBNaija. Learn your history and have some dignity

Meanwhile prominent Igbos joined the fight to help Abiola win his mandate. Many risked their lives and suffered badly for it. Ralph Obioha got his banking license withdrawn by Abacha. Arthur Nwankwo, Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu etc all almost died in Abacha's hands.
