Yakubu Gowon was in charge of the investigation and he only submitted his report on the eve of the counter coup. Check this out.

Noneroone:
Those of u talking nonsense about the state sponsored genocide are plain shameless...they are big time shame to humanity. I was arguing with someone who said that God will remember nigeria. I told him God is already visiting nigeria and the country will only get worse until it crumbles. Nigeria can never get better! Mark my words. No nation live on lies and survives. Lie is a very big curse. Even the bible says that liars will never prosper and nigeria will never prosper.

A nation whose present political structure was founded on genocide running to God to make it prosper with the very foundation God despises is enough to piss God. U killed tens of thousands in a genocide, killed millions in a civil war, banned history in schools in east,banned the bight of Biafra, changed national anthem to reflect your deceptive political structure and continue to conspire to oppress a blessed pple. Yet same nigerians are the pple who claim to love God the most in the world. Nigeria will pile away under the weight of God's punishment and its already happening.

And for those who said the coup caused the genocide, i ask, did the jews in Germany carry out a coup in nazi germany before the genocide?. Did igbos in keshi 2012 nations cup team carry out a coup when they were branded 'Biafran 11' by yoruba and Hausas? These are just fear-induced hate, wickedness and jealousy.

Hitler, aryan supremacist only saw successful jews as obstacles to his racist agenda, just as sarduana saw Igbos as dominating. Germany paid for it by loosing power and prestige (un securiy council and her colonies) the prosperity they enjoy today is the result of some atonements they made. What is more, the Jews now have state of their own. Nigeria can never get better till it crumbles. No amount of fasting, prayer or prophesy can save it. Except the truth (which they re not ready to face). Doesnt it bother nigerians that they re the most pious country in the world yet the worst country in the world?

DMerciful:
You are spot on! I have always maintained that what is happening in the north is retribution for the 1966 pogrom! They have killed about 20+ thousand of their people and it will only stop when it gets to 30thousand equivalent to the number of igbos killed in d north before the civil even started!

Let me tell you this, you are on the internet not your village where majority of your uneducated lots form associations of high nuisance value. Going by your logic,
If Boko haram is retribution for the 66 genocide, her sister Sunni Terrorist group Al shabab is retribution for??
Her Parent Al Qaeda bombing America's interest is retribution for 66 too abi? ISIS is probably retribution for your father's inability to use a condom hence the nuisance value you have on the cyber space, Nasura front is another retribution for your mother's inability to have an abortion when a foetus like you formed without a brain.
You dare rejoice over people's misfortune you brainless newt.

theDEVILisHERE:
The events of 1966 was just the final result of a carefully orchestrated genocide planed by the demonic british aided by their black african slaves

Remember the aim of the british demons is to wipe out all jews, from those in the eastern region of Nigeria all the way to ethiopia, the middle east and Afganistan (Yes AFGANISTAN)

Ooni:
ur brain is such a vacuum that u re ready to thank a liar for feeding u with the obvious. Go nd read ur history sincerely and discover that the name 'ibo coup' was a continuation of pre-coup ibophobic atmostphere which pervaded the political system. Ibos were relatively prosperous and controlled almost all sectors through hard work and merit. Academia business civil service and army. Northerners and yorubas sought for way to cut ibos to size. Remeber sarduanas speech about ibo domination, also akintolas speech about same (they re all on youtube)

remember majority of senior army officers were ibos. If there was goin to be coup and resistance the would naturally come from ibos and that was exactly what happened. But because there was already deep fear, hate and jealously against ibos, the nomencleture of ibo coup was an attempt to psychologically prepare themselves towards the elimination of their obstacle-ibos!
The nazi style genocide that followed showed ibophobia was behind everything.

Let us tell ourselves the truth

pick a good history book nd read and stop listening to liars. The same lie that has kept nigeria from moving foward.

Kestolovee95:
That philip of a yorubaboon just shot himself on the foot.

One pertinent hot question for you..

If it took Ojukwu a lenghty courtcase to reclaim his father's residential property in ikoyi. How easy would it have been for the poor Biafran who lost all his belonging and had to start to from scratch to reclaim his properties in nigeria, how many of them had the funds to pay for legal services.

I'm sure awolowo must have documented the return of Igbo properties as finance minister,can you go to the finance ministry, get those supporting documents and post them here for us to see?

Common sense, do yorrobers have it? Absolutely Not!

first assumption dismissed: I did not have Islamic studies. I understand English very well, and you too should understand English I believe.

when it is said Nigerian Shia Muslims are not of the Zaidi Shia sub-group or school of thought or religious persuasion referred to as "Fivers", but Mainstream Shia "Twelvers", that includes every Nigerian Shia including Zakzaky. you can check on the IMN's official website. they mark events that have to do with ALL the 12 holy Imams of the Prophet Muhammad's progeny as the mainstream Shia (referred to as Twelvers) do. Zaidis only believe at Five Imams and do not commemorate the Imams starting with the sixth to the twelfth. it is religious doctrine, not politics.

Zaidis are non-existent in Nigeria. i have not come across any website or publication related to Nigerians that claims to be Zaidi. if you still think i am wrong, i stand to be corrected. you can refer us to any such publication, and let us read. the Zaidis are a Shia sub-group found in Yemen, just as the Shia sub-group found in Syria are called Alawites, to which the Syrian president belongs to. the Shia of Yemen are called Zaidis, and the former president of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh was a Zaidi.

what you need is to open up your mind and listen. are you above mistake and correction? you keep assuming and making up stories. these only add to your confusion. i am telling you these things not because i am pained or anything but because i know these things which are very common for any Shia Muslim to know and very basic knowledge you can read online and in many books.

he is not my leader and i am not pained by his detention. i am pained by your assumptions because they are not true. Zakzaky is the leader of an organization called Islamic Movement in Nigeria. so whether you be Shia, Sunni, Muslim, Christian, Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist or Jehovah's Witness, if you belong to or follow or support an organization called IMN, then Zakzaky is your leader. he is therefore not the leader of every Shia in Nigeria because he is a Shia cleric or because his organization propagates Shia beliefs. you have rightly cited that Zakzaky is NOT THE ONLY Shia cleric in Nigeria. therefore not every Shia see him as his leader and not every Shia look up to him for spiritual guidance or religious knowledge. there are Shia clerics unrelated to him within and outside Nigeria. he is just one of many, and in my view he is not the most knowledgeable or most qualified when compared to Shia scholars of knowledge around the world. he just happens to be the most popular because of the number he attracts and possibly his means to reach out and win followers. it is just like the churches in Nigeria and their sizes; likewise Islamic groups (be they Sunni ones like NASFAT and Ansarud-deen or Shia ones like IMN etc.).

pazienza:
Congregation of block heads, how much oil is proven in the Bakassi Peninsula?

Well, OP believes there is not much crude oil in Bakassi, he doesn't see why Arewa-Oduanistans should have fought Cameroun for Bakassi, after all, Arewa-Oduanistans like we know are only interested in the oil Bearing parts of SS, remember they into one Nigeria strictly for the petrodollars sake.

https://www.nairaland.com/2722497/biafra-proposed-constitional-provisions#39872135

There are informations that are not meant for dullards, before you quote any post, do an IQ test, you really expect Obasanjo to fight with Cameroon, because of Bakassi?

At your wasted old age, you never knew that Cameroon's provocation in the Peninsular was orchestrated by France, you don't know that much?
By insinuation, you are asking Obasanjo to fight France in a proxy war with Cameroon? a permanent seat holder with a veto power in the security council? the World's rated 6th best military with a double nuclear capability while you are rated a misery 44th?

Some of you are intellectually handicapped, advise your father to r@pe the daughter of a Brigadier general first before advising OBJ to fight France.

This is what Wikipedia said about your stup!dity

theDEVILisHERE:
Can you give your point without saying trash

@Jpphilips points are nothing but twisted facts which potray falsehood

Ooni:
continue telling people lies and half truths. The major problem that resulted to the civil war was not even the killing of ironsi and co. But an organised terrorism in which every northerner participated in killing of armless ibos in the guise of pogrom. If the coup ended in a counter coup the civl war would have occurred. But i am sure the north and middle belt are paying for it. u think all these killings happening in Nigeria today is for fun? North re killing themselves in guise of terrorism while also extending their 'friendship' to middle belt through the herdsmen, and occassionary southwest

Northern nigeria is the only place in the world today were a group of pple are massacaring their own pple for no established reason nd u think it is ordinary?

I only fear for my yoruba pple

boujaye:
what is becoming of our roads, drivers and safety? Its a pity his life is just shortened just like that. RIP man

Nigeria's Shia Muslims are not Zaidis.

where did you get that from?

the Zaidis are a Shia sub-sect in Yemen. The Alawites are also a Shia sub-sect in Syria. the Zaidis believe in 5 of the 12 holy Imams from the progeny of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that the mainstream Shia around the world believe in. the mainstream Shia like those in Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Lebanon, Syria and Nigeria are also referred to as "Twelvers" (al-Shiatul-Imamiyyah-al-Ithna-Ashariyyah) or they believe in the 12 holy Imams. being Zaidi or a "Fiver" (i.e. believing in only the five out of the twelve holy imams) has nothing to do with extremism or whatever fictional politics you are piling up there to express apprehension. of very recent, the Zaidis are tilting towards mainstream Shia and belief in the Twelve Imams; otherwise Zaidis are the Shia group/sub-sect that are the closest in belief and practice to the Sunni Muslims. it is simply religious doctrine and not politics. you pulling up the word "Zaidi" like a new catch does not add substance to your post or credibility to your words. why not research first before making assumptions and others who know about such religious topics to realize that you simply do not know what you are talking about.

Sealeddeal:
So America is underdeveloped? With Illiteracy, a country or region is in advantage? what kind of statement is that?
Education is the key to development. You think development is all about building roads? Illiteracy is one the major cause of underdevelopment in Northern Nigeria.

chrisooblog:
hmmm interesting theory but then how do you explain how the more educated western region was able to make giant strides under the leadership of awolowo while the monolithic united north still lagged far behind. or to take it international how did the chinese, japanese (post-world war), singaporeans etc achieve so much if not with that educational boost? but i agree a strong, vibrant activist middle class is needed to stir the northern ship and not just leave it in the hands of selfish elites or unexposed\unlightened mullahs

fulanimafia:
Hilarious.

So the Ibos/SE/SS want an alliance with the North and desire the terrorist Al-zakzaky as President just because they don't like Buhari?

Do these guys even know who Shiites are? They just heard of an opposing Islamic sect and automatically think the enemy of their enemy is their friend? Even to the point of averring that the clannish and jihadist shiites saved and sheltered Christians in their mosques when under attack? Is this administration the first to jail zakzaky (who has been jailed by almost every administration since the military era)?

These guys and their political daftness are assuming legendary status.

Going by the politics in the Middle East where Muslims are increasingly divided along sectarian/religious lines, the Christians have no better political allies than the Shia (Shi’ite) Muslims as can be viewed in the Middle East.


After the Zaria massacre that resulted in the killings of hundreds of harmless civilians both on the highway where a confrontation with the army appeared, and off the highway (in the house of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, the Shia worship center (Husseiniyyah), and the movement’s cemetery which were also illegally demolished by soldiers) where soldiers stormed in madness to sniff out the life of every innocent Nigerian Shi’ite soul in a brutal show of force and complete disregard for human life to give the Wolf of Aso Rock his well deserved title of being a blood thirsty tyrant and to send the message into the air that a “tough” deadly soldier is in power, three months and counting, hundreds killed are yet to be properly buried (said to have been buried in mass graves by soldiers to hide crimes against humanity), hundreds arrested and imprisoned are yet to be charged or granted bail, and hundreds missing are yet to be found.

From the case Lebanon,a Middle Eastern country that is multi-religious, the Shia Islamic Resistance Movement Hezbollah happens to be the ally of the largest Lebanese Christian party, the Free Patriotic Movement led by a Christian former Lebanese Army chief General Michel Aoun, in the Lebanese parliament. Hezbollah has also gone ahead to stand out as a (Shi’ite) Muslim group against the rampaging Wahhabi terrorists such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda affiliated al-Nusra Front in neighboring Syria, and Hezbollah fights alongside the Syrian Arab Army in support of the legitimate authority of Syria and President Bashar al-Assad. Much alike, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria has literally saved the lives of hundreds of Christians, in particular during the 2011 post election violence, when Buhari’s rampaging hordes of Salafist/Wahhabi bloodsucking supporters were shedding the blood of innocent Christians in the North who had no relations whatsoever to Goodluck Jonathan, and at best, they could have only practiced their democratic rights by voting for their candidate of choice.


Gyellesu in Zaria, the headquarters of the Shi’ite Islamic Movement in Nigeria was safe haven for fleeing Christians, especially Igbos. The youth scouts of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria stood ground to protect the fleeing souls who wanted safe shelter until the storm of political violence and religious madness had subsided.

For the 2019 presidential elections, Sheikh Ibrahim al-Zakzaky should be approached by the PDP to rescue the party and accept the party nomination to bear its flag against the APC candidate, who would most likely be the incumbent president. Such a move will have deep and wide ramifications in the politics of Nigeria and it will be a historical point whereby more tolerant of Christians/Non-Muslimsand accommodating Muslims, i.e. the Shi’ites, will form an unbroken political alliance with the Southern Christians. This alliance will go a very long way to shape the political landscape in the country and bury the northern “born to rule” mentality espoused by Sunni Muslims. The Shi’ites are very much opposed to the monarchy system, and therefore the “born to rule” mentality by any emir or sultan is very much against Shi’ite doctrine of equality among the human race.

Many would want to know the feasibility of filing Sheikh Ibrahim al-Zakzaky as the presidential candidate of the PDP in the 2019 presidential election. When it comes to the numbers, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria has followers, mainly in the North, estimated to be a minimum of 5 to 10 million, and a maximum of 15 to 25 million. A Christian-Shi’ite Muslim political alliance in elections would means winning over the born to rule mentality, and breaking the votes in the north. Significantly, the South West will no longer have the sole power as the tie breaker. It will strike an electoral balance that can pacify the North for many years to come.

A popular Zakzaky, whose restraint and patience in the face of losing six sons, and his insistence on non-violence preaching would be the best ally of northern extraction for the South to face the APC tyrant in the next presidential election. Zakzaky’s record of being incorruptible and a symbol of integrity are impeccable in Nigeria. Being from a Shi’ite background and holding on to Shi’ite doctrines which promotes and respects the freedom and right of belief for others based on Quranic verses (2:256; 18:28; 109:6) completely ignored by extremist Sunnis, particularly the Sunnis of the Wahhabi/Salafist ideology, Zakzaky would be the much wished for symbol for Christian-Islamic unity in Nigeria. After the Zaria Massacre, and the restraint and peaceful reaction of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, the popularity of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria and the personality of Zakzaky are on the rise. Reaching understanding with Zakzaky, who is destined to be released for his innocence and immense loss of the lives of his followers and family members, is the way out for the PDP in the 2019 presidential election. No matter what the naysayers do or how they react to this suggestion, the good thing is that any human being from any religious or political or ethnic background can reach an understanding with a Shi’ite Muslim, which is far from the case with a Wahhabi/Salafist devoid of reason or human sympathy.

Apc have no moral and shame . Look at dakuku a man that is always talking GOD anytime the press interviews him. Ameachi and dakuku are under spell they are outcast

chrisooblog:
topic should have read take out illiteracy and ignorance not just bokoharam. right now the south has the education advantage (relatively but still too much sentimentality) if the north can get it right education wise they will easily become the food basket of west and parts of central africa

Sorry man! Do you have comprehension problem or you just want to gush out rubbish in the name of wild critisism?

Should I just assume you did not read the write up? Unfortunately, you still have some retarded minds clicking "like". I wonder how someone who could read and comprehend "like" the rubbish you posted.

yaki84:
gej wanted to privatise it, d union leaders sensing that they will lose their looting avenue ran to apc the opposition then n they were labelling jonathan all sort of names just to score cheap points.
the problem is not the system but people running the system in nigeria.
nnpc needs total overhauling, those refineries needs to be sold as scraps then use the money n build one good refinery. another thing abt buildng refinery shud be rightful location, siting it near the source of raw materials. in asamuch as I like what dangote is doing in buildng a new refinery but I think the cost of laying those pipes n protection of those pipelines will be another bottleneck that will scuttle d success of that facility.
refineries shud be built close to its source of raw materials, rail tracks laid to link major cities to aid in evacuating the products not still laying pipelines that is prone to vandalism n sabotage.

kaeforum:
What a lie, I am disappointed in kachikwu, never trust deltans to dot the right thing.

If refinering locally is that expensive why are they arresting people who build modular refineries. How can it be expensive if the refineries are sited close to the raw materials , raw materials are situated in the country and can be extracted in known wells.

How do you ship crude several thousand kilometers away to another country and think its cheaper and economical.

It doesnt make economic sense, importing from another country, fueling their economies at the expense of ours, this guy has proven beyond reasonable doubt that the present administration is incompetent, lacks focus and does not mean well for the country.

MRSALT:
Sometimes I ask myself Are Nigerians different species of human race? A group that refuse to learn from history. This is the same episode that took place in Western Nigeria region during the first republic like half a century ago; one the crisis that culminated in civil war. Its happening in this modern time after much education, development and wider travels and technological advances. Who can proffer an acceptable pragmatic solutions to this perennial problem? Time will tell
