I understand well. You remember his Dayokanu moniker, I'm impressed, seem like you are an old timer here.

I wonder where his co travellers like Bluetooth, Ekt/dapo bear, and co went to, perhaps they are all using new monikers today.

I have been coming here for a long time o. Its because of Dayokanu, Kusamotu aka katsumoto and co that I actually opened a NL account sef.. I am sure many of them are still here

pazienza:
You have time to engage a rabid Igbophobia stricken being with no iota of truth in him.

Dayokanu is a die hard igbo hater but I engage him to puncture the lies about the past that have been spun about Igbos

Eni Njoku was made the V.C of Unilag a year before Nigeria became a republic. The republic constitution was drafted in 1963. Before then, Nnamdi Azikiwe was the first and only Nigerian to be the Governor General of the country. By virtue of his position, he was the Head of State of Nigeria representing the Queen. Azikiwe used his position to promote ibo greed and nepotism.
The 1963 republican constitution gave Azikiwe the power to make some appointment with the approval of the Prime Minister. Azikiwe abused this powers in favour of his ibo kinsmen

Ibo coupist killed Samuel Ladoke Akintola

Ibo coupist killed Ralph Shodeinde

Ibo coupist killed Samuel Ademulegun

Ibo coupist killed Hajiat Latifat Ademulegun(a pregnant woman)

..... but the ibo coupist found it hard to kill their own ibo leaders, and they want us to belive that the coup was a genuine revolution. Hahahaaaaa. I laugh in marginalisation

The position of Governor General and President under the 1960 and 1963 constitutions were the same except for the title. I checked the constitution and it does not grant any power to President to appoint VCs of Universities arbitrarily as you are alleging.

So you mean Zik did all that and nobody called him out for abuse of power that he did not have?

Akintola's lies were monstrous and devilish.

raumdeuter:
If Akintola told lies yet the action of Ibo soldiers vindicated Akintola, they behaved the exact way Akintola said 2yrs earlier. Selfish, self centered, greedy


There were more Ibo politicians in govt than Yoruba politicians so tell me how many of the Ibo politicians were gunned down

Nigeria had 4 regions. The premier's of the 2 non Ibo regions were killed, okpara and osadebey who were Ibo spared

The prime minister was killed, his deputy Azikwe was spared,

All the Ibo ministers were privy to the coup which was why some of them resigned from the govt 24hrs before the coup

One of those snakes called Jaja Wachukwu was even begged by Balewa not to quit and on the day of the coup while Ibo soldiers were killing other leaders. They got to Wachukwu house and told him he isn't one of their target.

Ifeajuna after killing Balewa and okotie-eboh was Hosted by Michael okpara for a job well done who facilitated his escape to Ghana

In the military hierarchy, Ironsi was spared but Maimalari Ademulegun, Sodeinde Lagerma Pam were all killed

Your posts are dripping with prejudice and malice but I honestly cant see any facts to back them up. Abeg help me with some of them:-

1. How could Okpara have hosted Ifeajuna when he was in detention in Enugu and how could he have helped him escape? According to Ademoyega (one of the coupists) Ifeajuna fled to Lagos after running to Enugu to meet up with Don Okafor and Chris Okigbo who drove him to Seme border

2. If you have your facts on the coup you will know that the coup plotters at NO time intended or even had the manpower to arrest every member of the 1st republic. Please give more details on the officers you said went to Jaja Wachuku's just to "inform" him that he wasnt a target

3. How many yoruba politicians were killed by the coupists? Why was Akintola killed and Fani Kayode spared? For purpose of clarity, Zik was not deputy prime minister, he was ceremonial president. Moreover he was not in the country so how did the coupists "spare" him?

4. You claim that all igbo ministers knew about the coup before and that some resigned. Please who were the ones that resigned 24hrs before the coup?

Guestlander:
So, an individual's encounter with the OPC is your evidence Yorubas were hunting down Igbo, right.
So much for evidence, we all know you are lying.

This is the most pathetic face saving thing I have ever read in my life ; D

So three different cases of genocide by your people documented for posterity by the highly respected Human Rights Watch Global is an "individual's encounter". because it tells the truth and documents a shameful series of accounts of genocide carried out by Yoruba against innocent igbos you want to dismiss them ? It doesnt work that way. If you want I can humour you by providing other accounts and sources so you will swallow the truth by force.

You boldly claimed that Nnamdi Kanu incited violence against yorubas and northerners can you prove it or do you accept that you have joined the bandwagon of liars peddling propaganda and malicious hatred against the Igbo people without basis. Wetin we do una? Why all the malice, lies and bad faith. Why?

Guestlander:
This is an online forum, you don't jump into anyone's discussion. If you put anything out here you are asking for anyone to reply to it, this is not your living room.
You lots are known for lying, you deny even the very obvious. Why don't you simply provide the evidence that Yorubas hunted down your people. Haven't you destroyed your own credibility by lying about something that never happened?
You need to show your evidence that Yorubas hunted down your people or forever hide your face in shame.

Okay here is proof. Now prove yours or delete your NL account

"I was coming home from work, after 7 p.m. I ran into a group of OPC at Ebute Metta. They had clubs and machetes. They were in uniforms, white gowns with red cloth on their foreheads. They included men and women. They asked me which tribe I was from. I told them I am a child of God. They said: "he is not Yoruba, he must be Igbo." They said I should follow them. I said: "for what?"

I ran into a house for safety. The owner of the house told me what had happened. Earlier that day, some Igbo traders had fought area boys.[49] The Igbos had refused to pay the area boys and a fight ensued. The Igbos defeated the area boys, who were Yoruba. The area boys went to invite the OPC. Therefore, if you don't speak Yoruba, you must be Igbo.

The owner of the house said I should stay there that night."

MORE:

"The tenant, an Igbo trader called Ike who dealt in electronic goods in Alaba market, returned from work one day to find his landlord and a group of OPC members waiting for him. On instruction from the landlord who pointed him out to the OPC, the OPC members attacked him, accusing him of being a criminal. Despite his denials, they beat him into a coma, allegedly in the presence of the landlord who did not respond to his pleas for help, even when the OPC set him on fire; he later died from his injuries.[41]

Some of the victim's neighbors, wanting to avenge Ike's death, set fire to the landlord's building. The market traders, the majority of whom are Igbo, also mobilized to protest the death of their colleague. According to one of the traders' representatives, when they went to complain to the Baale [local Yoruba leader], OPC members were assembled there and attacked them. Several traders were injured. The traders ran back to the market and tension escalated. The OPC members apparently sought reinforcements and within a short time had invaded parts of the market. They smashed many of the buses owned by the Igbos and barricaded the roads. The traders decided to fight back after they discovered the body of another Igbo man who had been macheted to death by the OPC at a nearby petrol station; he was apparently found dead, clutching a Bible. As the traders tried to defend themselves, and some of them took up arms, the OPC extended the attack to other Igbo residents in the area."

MORE:


"Some local residents and traders believe that the incident between the landlord and the tenant was just the trigger for the expression of a deeper, underlying tension in the area, particularly feelings of jealousy between the local Yoruba community and the predominantly Igbo traders in Alaba. In addition, according to a local resident, the day before the tenant, Ike, was killed, the OPC had killed five other Igbo men. Apparently they too had been killed because they owed rent to their landlord, who had called the OPC in to deal with them. The man who related the incident to Human Rights Watch did not see them being killed, but saw the dead bodies of four of them, three in a compound and a fourth in the gutter; they had apparently died from gunshot wounds."

Guestlander:
I'm not interested in your usual game of dishonesty and denials. He absolutely said it, people like you even denied he ever asked for money to buy arms even though he was recorded in a video saying it. Biafra can go today for all I care but your lies are quite disgusting.
By the way, who started killing people in their bedrooms in front of their wives and children? Yoruba or Hausa?

You must always think about the consequences of your actions before you take them. And you should stop lying, Yorubas did not hunt down anyone except in your imagination.

You jumped into my discussion with the Op stating that Radio Biafra was calling for killings of Yoruba and when I asked you for evidence you now want to tactically excuse yourself. You should have kept out of a discussion that was above your level but you couldn't resist and have now disgraced yourself terribly now you want to hide behind name calling and childish diversions. but ko le work ogbeni. Either you show evidence that Nnamdi Kanu called for killing of yorubas or accept the fact that you lied and have been caught pants down.

As for when yorubas carried out genocide on my people just cool down the info will arrive soon. Just know that it is connected to the rebirth of this Biafra agitation and it is very unfortunate.

Guestlander:
It is absolutely not a lie, Nnami Kanu called for killing Yoruba and northerners on radio Biafra. This is my main grouse with him and his ipob rats.
I believe the Biafrans should be allowed to secede so they can chart their own destiny as they seem fit. But if they think they will kill Yorubas without serious consequences then I feel sorry for them.

I want you to prove that he has called for killings of yorubas and northerners. Did you hear it yourself or you heard somebody else say it.

Why would Igbo want to kill anybody?? When northerners and yorubas hunted out people like animals in the past and killed them why did we not organise and kill your people residing in our lands? Abeg try another excuse for hating us but we know it's deeper than this.

FFKfuckedBIANCA:
Eni Njoku and Kennth Dike were made the VC's of University of Lagos and University of Ibadan not because they merited the position. Their appointment was based on nepotism and ethnic favoritism as instigated by Nnamdi Azikiwe who was the president. Professor Saburi Biobaku was meant to be the VC of Unilag instead of Eni Njoku.

When the ibo coupist struck in January 1966, Azikiwe was miraculously out of the country; Okpara was incidentally with the Cypriot Prme Minister. Very funny. Why did the ibo coupist kill Hajiat Latifat Ademulegun, the pregnant wife of Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun? The blood thirsty ibo coupist killed a pregnant and innocent Yoruba woman but they spared their own regional leaders, yet they want us to beilive that the coup was executed in good fate.

I want to ask you a question, was Azikiwe not a ceremonial president?? Not even as powerful as a First Lady? What power would be have had to impose two unqualified Igbo men in the region of Awolowo that he respected and almost feared? You haven't given me the facts that I asked for by the way. You are only stating your theory not facts. Please don't overlook the fact that the mayor of our then capital was a fulani man and the chief accountant Mr. Willoughby was a Yoruba man.

So are you implying that Zik stayed away to avoid the coup? Well I can say this... If Zik was part of the coup then why did he need to "run away". He could as well have stayed knowing he wouldnt have been touched. You see, all conjecture and opinion but not facts. Are you also alluding to the fact that Okpara invited President Makarios to avoid the coupists?? These sorts of speculations can be twisted any way. Its unfortunate that politicians like Akintola and Ahmadu Bello polluted the air with all these types of prejudice and bigotry.

Akintola told lies in that his hate speech and its very unfortunate the type of legacy he left behind.

aribisala0:
Radio stations inciting killing Yorubas? Keep deceiving yourselves The radio station was inciting violence and you cannot airbrush that away

What? When did Radio Biafra incite killing of Yoruba ?? Big lie

Yorubas and northerners have killed Igbos in their lands but Igbo have never organised killings of anybody. After you start wondering why Igbo are fed up of sharing country with Nigerians

Story
Buhari last straw. What is the difference between 6 and half dozen. You put all your eggs in the GEJ Basket and lost woefully. Deal with it You have always been political friends of the Fulani.
Biafra will not happen in Radio stations or by hiding in hotels with oloshos as Namidi was caught doing.
This is all election loss fever. If you want Biafra what peaceful, Democratic steps have you taken? Is violence the first thing.What are your senators and governors doing.? Did Buhari impose them on you?
Where in the world does that happen ? You folk always reason like villagers. Get your state Houses of Assembly to pass resolutions, Ask your senators to raise in on the floor of the Senate? Instead of acting in a civilised way you start making death threats

Hahahahaha!!

1. There has been NO violence by IPOB

2. There is nothing like eggs in one basket when it comes to exercising your right to vote in the civilised world. If Nigeria isn't civilised enough to respect Igbo rights to vote who they like without victimising them for it then you can't blame them for wanting out.

3. Radio stations don't themselves grant self determination but they mobilise opinion and fuel agitation. Besides Radio Biafra predates Buhari's unfortunate second coming. Abi you want to contest that fact?

4. Our senators and old school political leaders have lost the political grassroots space to IPOB since buhari came. Watch their body language and statements since the Nnamdi Kanu affair snowballed into massive protests and civil disobedience. Nobody with knowledge of how systems work will ask why senators are not agitating

FFKfuckedBIANCA:
Why dont you point out the lies specifically. Is it a lie that Eni Njoku and Kennth Dike, two ibo men, were VC's of University of Lagos and University of Ibadan while better and qualified Yoruba's were denied those positions in their own land.

If youy say the ib coupist killed Akintola because he was part of the government, why did they not kill ibo politician who were also part of the government? Why was Azikiwe spared? What of Kingsley Mbadiwe, Micheal Okapara and other ibos, why did the ibo coupist not kill them also?

I honestly can't say WHY those two Igbo men were appointed VC of UI and Unilag but I can ask WHY NOT? A fulani man was Mayor of Enugu at that same time as we all know. A Yoruba man was also chief accountant in Enugu at the time and of course there were qualified Igbo accountants for the job. Unless you can help me with facts as to the better qualified Yoruba sons who were intentionally left out I really can't answer that. I believe that Nigeria then was a very different load from the divided mess of today. I believe politicians like Akintola divided this country and prompted questions like what you have asked.

As for why the coupists (who were not all Igbo by the way) didn't kill Zik and Okpara, let us not forget that Zik was not in the country when the coup hit and Okpara didn't shoot at them, he was hosting the President of Cyprus when they came for him. You will be incorrect to allude to the fact that the coup plotters aimed to take out every single person in government. Not so. Read "Why we struck" by Ademoyega (one of the coupists) and you will get a clearer picture

OP - na lie o. Buhari was just the last straw that broke the camel's back. If you say Ohaneze or PDP Igbo big men in Abuja I can agree but when you see the organic, massive grassroots support IPOB enjoys in the east you just know without being told that these generally apolitical people who are not the best politicians are doing this with their whole hearts because they believe they can do better in their own country. Nnamdi Kanu was the spark and buhari was the fuel

raumdeuter:
Below is Akintolas speech that made Ibo soldiers target him for elimination

Now every Yorubaman should think about this and compare to whats going on today

==================

In the first part after the greetings he said that many of our Yoruba people compare our country to USA and UK claiming since it was done in those countries it should be done same way in Nigeria. and the Ibo Alakuko have been using their Newspapers to promote their agenda and Yorubas trying to act sophisticated dont trust their parents again rather they believe Nigeria should be like US and UK, Nigeria is not like US and UK

He said one of the Ibo leaders claimed he believed Ibos are special breed of people who are designed to Lord over other Nigerians.

Count how many Yorubas are in Eastern parts heading parastatals? Now compare that to Ibos heading such stuffs in North and the West. Why do they want to Lord it over all.

He said in Ibadan, Arabs and Lebanese were sent away from trading yet the NCNC made sure it was Ibos that took over the whole markets in Ibadan, that our wives in Ibadan cant even get stalls to trade.

All Nigerians ambasadors to London, Paris, Moscow, New York are all Ibos through their alliance with the Hausas.

This election is for the future of your children, This is not about Akintola or Awolowo this is about the future of your children.

Recently Michael Okpara came out to list the achievement of Federal Govt in the Eastern region. He listed the Cement company in Nkalagu, the Coal in Enugu where thousands of their children are getting jobs while our own qualified children cant get jobs

The 2 VC of the University in Lagos and UI are both Ibos. Are they saying of all the educated people in Abeokuta for more than 100yrs none is educated enough to head?

In UI they employed 112 staffs and 108 were from Iboland, 3 from Yorubaland

You might ask why is the top position important its because due to their nature, the first in command is Ibo, he would ensure second in command, third in command till fifteenth in command is his tribesman till all the commands are finished

Akintola told some despicable lies here and twisted the truth to whip up anti-igbo sentiment to impress the north and service his ambition to upstage Awolowo

Secondly Akintola was targeted by the coup plotters because he was part of the government and let's not forget the instigator of the western region crisis highlighted by massive election rigging and anarchy which claimed thousands of Yoruba lives. Not because of this degenerate hate speech you reproduced here.

It's your prerogative to swim in your hatred and prejudice but historical lies must be busted.

kahal29:
“The Lagos – Calabar will traverse Lagos-Shagamu-Ore-Benin City-Sapele-Warri-Yenegoa with siding to Otuoke-Port Harcourt-Aba-Uyo-calabar and branch line from Benin City-Abudu-Onitsha including Onitsha rail bridge.

The Lagos – Kano rail Project will traverse Lagos-Abeokuta-Ibadan-Oshogbo-Ilorin-Jebba-Minna-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano with branch line from Minna-Abuja and Abuja-Kaduna.”

The ministry also stated that the bank loan would be used to fund three segments from the rail project.

“Lagos-Ibadan: Lagos-Abeokuta-Ibadan with extension to Apapa Port Complex (Segment 2 of Lagos – Kano), Kano-Kaduna (Segment 3A of Lagos – Kano) and Calabar – Port Harcourt: Port Harcourt-Aba-Uyo-Calabar with extension to Onne Deep Sea Port (Segment 1 of the Coastal rail Line).

This is even worse than I thought.

The Lagos-Calabar line goes through Lagos to Ogun to Ondo to Edo to Delta to Bayelsa to Rivers State manages to touch Aba, Abia State because it is closest to Akwa Ibom and then to Uyo and stops at Calabar.

The so called branch line from Benin to Abudu (both in Edo state) stops at Onitsha yet animals in human skin will wonder why Igbos have had enough of this country.

We need to challenge this in court en masse. We should not be paying taxes to the Federal Government or helping repay this loan as a region if we will not be considered as part of this country. I think enough is enough.

Fire burn Lord Lugard for yoking us with these people. Time is coming...

Ovamboland:
Lagos is building it's own rail lines without blackmailing or name calling, even western states are planning their regional railway. What are the five leprous yeastern states able to do fortthemselves?
You claim to be better than every body else, yet you cry the most for help from the center even to clean your butts

We are talking out NRC Federal railway lines here.The same one that your region got a share of. The never-ending Lagos monorail isnt the same thing. Nice try though, you are just uninformed

Your post makes no sense , Igbos from Imo state built Owerri airport from their pockets, their elders didnt go to beg and wail at Aso Rock crying marginalisation like you know who

How can a country prosper when there so much incompetence mixed with wickedness?

Even the biggest mumu knows that a railway line from anywhere in the country to the Onitsha-Portharcourt line would be the busiest and most profitable route in the country

Alariwo2:
Shebi they are biafrans..

let them focus on their biafra and stay out of our affairs.

But it is compulsory for Igbo companies to pay tax to the Federal Government abi? Allow SE states to collect revenue from Igbo companies and crude oil derived from South East if you know you wont give us a railway line.

The SE states with the extra cash can form their own railway companies and build their own connecting lines.

Verbose post bereft of substance.

1. Okorocha was already a governor under APGA before he joined APC, he didn't need APC to be or remain Imo governor, APC needed him to have a foothold in Igboland.

2. This discussion was all about Ethnic politics, not about party politics, it was you who derailed it to party politics. An Igbo man was Buhari VP twice before a Yoruba became twice, so this your narrative of Igbos not playing party politics was BID.
3. Yes, considering the votes APC got in Imo state at state level, Imo has been treated same as every other SE state, how dare you demand for more votes from Ndiigbo?
SE only got appointments that the constitution made impossible for her to be deprived of, even the proposed infrastructural loan had SE totally bypassed, not even Imo was included, same with SME loans. https://www.nairaland.com/3434857/federal-government-leaves-out-south
https://www.nairaland.com/3603916/south-east-missing-fgs-loans

4. APC has proven itself to be an anti Igbo party that is totally out to marginalize Ndiigbo, even mallam Okorocha acknowledged this, https://www.google.com.ng/amp/www.vanguardngr.com/2017/02/despite-efforts-nothing-show-seast-part-nigeria-okorocha/amp/

So, the people were right in rejecting APC from the start, APC had proven us right.

5.Exactly, at least we agree on this. PDP or APC, Ndiigbo would continue to be marginalized by Nigerians and denied of big sensitive posts, presidency included, this has nothing to do with party or Igbos not building bridges, cos no Nigerian group had built more political bridge since the return of democracy in 1999.
Telling us to leave PDP for APC, is silly, as APC is no different from PDP.

6.2nd Niger bridge and Igboland roads werent built by Yoruba ( OBJ) , Arewa ( Yaradua), SS minority ( GEJ) presidents under PDP, and as we have seen, it's still not going to be built by an Arewa ( Buhari) president under APC. The issue is beyond party politics.

7. No group had worked more than Ndiigbo in building bridges with Nigerian groups, Okorocha is currently a pariah in the East for reaching out to APC, where is the reward for him and Imo state? Totally schemed out in key appointments and infrastructures/ developmental grants. You have no point.


8. SE governors are commissioning projects too, we are not just into propaganda like some people, Enugu was slowly built up into a standard city rated higher than all cities in SW by Resilient city international, despite Awolowo hijacking the funds meant for Eastern region rehabilitation after the war, and diverting it to SW, yet no one noticed when those developmental strides took place, because we are silent achievers.
FG had sited little or no major project in the past in SE, and Buhari continued in the pattern when he attempted to totally lock SE out in the proposed infrastructural loans, other regions can't be enjoying FG patronage, and you inspect SE not to demand such because you ignorantly believe our local leaders are not doing enough , you would be a demonic for pursuing such line of thought, as there is nothing on ground to show that SW or any other Nigeria region leaders are outdoing those of SE in infrastructural development.


What we do with our allocations is none of your business, it's no justification for you to think you can conviniently starve us of our entitlements, your leaders haven't in any way done better than SE leaders that had the daunting task of rebuilding a war ravaged SE without any special funds or intervention by FG, as such funds were hijacked by enemies of progress and diverted to building the same Lagos peeps won't allow us hear word about today. I'd suggest you focus more on your failed leaders and less on Igbo leaders.

I am loyal sir.

OP- Don't be naive. What is Nigerian politics? Ol boy you are nyamiri and omo ibo to the northerners and the yorubas respectively. Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano stated clearly that the north and yorubas elite have always conspired to keep you (Igbo) out of the mainstream. You know the article or should paste it again for you Northerners hold the ace given them by the British and yorubas are their preferred servants in the game. C'est la vie

Who was the most qualified man for the job of president in 1999 in PDP? Alex Ekwueme. What happened? Hausa elite brought a yoruba stooge called Obasanjo and used billions of naira to foist him on Nigeria. I can go on and on. I dont have hope in Nigeria, fire burn Nigerian poltics, I want an autonomous region or my own country. Shikena

OAUTemitayo:
Yoruba betrayed GEJ?
You need to grow a brain. When Abiola contested for President did Ibos vote for him?
Did Ibos vote for Awolowo?.What then is the connection between us?
Suffice to say that we even voted for GEJ in 2011 and yet got nothing in return!

I don't know why Ibos keep crying betrayal, we are not Siamese twins for goodness sake.

Open your eyes and read very well:

"The 2003 Presidential election results in the three zones were as follows:
SOUTH EAST
i. Olusegun Obasanjo = 3,161,019 (71.3%)
ii. Muhammadu Buhari = 253,143 (5.7%)
iii. Odumegwu Ojukwu = 1,018,966 (22.9%)
SOUTH SOUTH
i. Olusegun Obasanjo = 7,056,434 (94.6%)
ii. Muhammadu Buhari = 371,749 (4.9%)
iii. Odumegwu Ojukwu = 24,218 (0.3%)
SOUTH WEST
i. Olusegun Obasanjo = 5,042,678 (93.6%)
ii. Muhammadu Buhari = 196,169 (3.6%)
iii. Odumegwu Ojukwu = 146,214 (2.7%)

Obasanjo lost all the northern Muslim states to Buhari but managed to win all the North Central(Middle Belt) States including the mixed religious states such as Adamawa, Kaduna and Niger.
Thus, with the votes of the four zones of South East, South South, South West and North Central behind him, Obasanjo won the 2003 elections in a landslide with the following national total:
i. Olusegun Obasanjo = 24,109,157 (67.8%)
ii. Muhammadu Buhari = 12,495,326 (32.0%)
iii. Odumegwu Ojukwu = 1,111,933 (02.8%)"

Also did you know that when MKO Abiola declared himself President at Epetedo he was flanked on the stage by two Igbo men called Bobo Nwosisi and Ralph Obioha while yoruba Afenifere leaders were at Aso Rock negotiating their egunje from Abacha to sell out their brother Abiola? Do you know that NADECO the pro-democracy group formed over the Abiola affair at a point could only hold meetings at the house of Ndubuisi Kanu, an Igbo naval General?
