I dont know how the minds of some people work. Busola came out and said she was raped 20 years ago by this pastor

Rather than for people to be concerned if what she is saying is true, they more concerned about why she did not say it earlier


Foolishness

hush15:
honestly, i dont care bout what his sister inlaw said... So far she couldnt mention it earlier.... its inconsequential....

When she said does not matter, what matters is if it is true.

T9ksy:
Were we ever One? Hell no! Both Sardunna and Awo were vehemently against one Nigeria except you covetous folks. Zik and his people were the only ones singing the discordant song of "One Nigeria, One Africa.

Let's just for the sake of argument assume that Zik and the Igbos wanted one united Nigeria and Awo and the Sarduana did not want this. Why then did they join Igbos in one united Nigeria? Why was it that Awo and Sarduana were against one Nigeria yet Awo led the Western Region delegates while Sarduana led the Northern delegation to London for the 1958 constitutional conference that ushered in independence in 1960? Or did Zik put a gun to their head and force them to be part of Nigeria?

See ibo logic,,,,you went in there and murdered other regional leaders in the middle of the night, not sparing their wives as well then turned round and say we MUST be united ‘cause you guys have finally taken over the govt with guns we purchased for you to protect us from external forces. After killing our fathers, uncles and brothers you want to be in charge of our future.

That's the nature of military coups, there are usually casualties and the leaders are usually from the same section of the country. It's been like that all over Africa and severally in Nigeria

Of course, northerners (most especially) rioted as they have made it known unequivocally that they do not want one Nigeria with you greedy folks but Ironsi went ahead regardless.


The north would not promulgate decree 34 as they were against the notion of one united nigeria.


The federal govt that fought Ojukwu was headed and controlled by northerners whilst the federal govt that fought Adaka boro was headed and also controlled by the ibos.

Go and google Gowons decree 14 of 1967. If you think Ironsi's decree 34 of 1966 was bad, Gowons decree 14 was a hundred times worse. Gowons decree shredded the 4 Regions, replaced them with 12 weak states, stripped the regions of resource control. Yet it well accepted by Nigerians.

The hypocrisy in Nigeria is too much. When an Igbo man does something he is criminalised, but when a Northerner does the same or even worse, he is well accepted

They said Igbos conducted a coup and killed the leaders of other Regions, but when the Northerners did the same thing on a far worse scale 6 months later, nobody complained

They said that Ironsi introduced decree 34 that destroyed Nigeria, but a year later when Gowon introduced decree 14 , which was a hundred times worse, nobody complained

They said that Ironsi and Ojukwu stopped Adaka Boro from seceding, but when Gowon was trying to stop Ojukwu from seceding, nobody complained


When it is an Igbo man they will complain to the high heavens, when a Northerner does the same or worse, they will accept and never complain

I laugh in Fufulde

Oshigun:
This is what they do bro. Even the Igbos in the diaspora never lose that hateful indoctrination. They could be doctors, engineers and bankers in some of the most prestigious companies yet they will still retain that primordial hate of Yoruba/Hausa/Fulani that has been instilled in them from birth. They are an embarrassment.

And yet if the same Igbos decide to leave you Nigerians and head for a separate country of Biafra, Nigerians like you will take up arms and fight war to bring Igbos back just like your fathers did in the Biafran war.

Bolustical:
This is a serious dilemma!

If they disagree with FFK- it means Nnamdi Kanu isn't greater than anyone

If they agree with FFK- it means Nnamdi Kanu, a coward and scammer is greater than Zik, Ojukwu, Peter Obi, Sam Mbakwe, Umahi, Obiano all join

Igbos please choose.

No Igbo man sees Nnamdi Kanu as a scammer. The only people who see Nnamdi Kanu as a scammer are those from outside the SE/SS area who are fighting for a useless "one Nigeria" that has never existed

If you are IPOB and you are only armed with a flag, you get python dance , prescription and terrorist tag.

If you are a killer herdsmen armed with AK47, you get Ruga.

That's Nigeria for you.

MetaPhysical:
Decree 34 of 1966 - the baby of Aguiyi Ironsi enforced unitary government.

So why did those who came after Ironsi not reverse it?

What a sad story if it is true. This Senator Abbo must be a demon

T9ksy:
Of course, there was no killings when your homie was in power......yeye dey smell. When your homeboy unilaterally promulgate the obnoxious and gratuitous unification decree, there was riots in the north whereby many of kinsmen were slaughtered in protest.
Ojukwu didn't conceive biafra then o rather he was still a great believer in One nigeria however few months later oncw ironsi has been depatched to the great beyond, viola Ojukwu start seeing visions of biafra.


Abeg STFU! If it was okay for the federal govt of (eastern) nigeria to fight adaka boro for declaring secession THEN it ought to equally okay for the same federal govt of (Northern) Nigeria to squash Ojukwu's intransigence.

All of this is the nonsense the Lagos/Ibadan 'kpako' media have been spewing for years and has long been done away with. Every military regime in the world rules by decree, that's how they roll, Ironsi no exception. No matter how obnoxious anyone thinks decree 34 was, it was always a temporary thing that would have been jettisoned when democracy returned.

It is however amazing that people were angry and rioting because of decree 34 but when subsequent military governments, such as that of Gowon, enacted far worse decrees that balkanized Nigeria into 12 states, took away resource control and fiscal federation, the same people were very welcoming.

It then shows that decree 34 was not the problem, the problem was that it was an Igbo man who enacted it. Had Ironsi been a Northerner, they would not have found decree 34 so obnoxious.

Ojukwu was a long time firm believer in 'one Nigeria'. Despite the wholesale senseless killings of his people, Ojukwu still went to Aburi to discuss keeping Nigeria one. It was when the federal government of Gowon reneged on that agreement that Ojukwu realised that there was a blatant attempt by the Northerners to dominate everyone and declared Biafra to protect his people from 'Islamisation and Fulanization'

Point of correction, it was the federal government that fought Isaac Boro, not the government of Eastern Nigeria. The Nigerian military is under the control of the federal government.

What Joe Igbokwe does not seem to understand is that all the political sophistication in Nigeria has done nobody in Nigeria any good.

T9ksy:
Typical BS from flatinoes.

I wonder what he saw when his homie was in power and intent on making the country, one?

He didn't declare freedom for his people then and in fact, when adaka boro seeks to balkanize the country, this same pseudo-soothsayer make certain to bring the rebellion down.

Stop talking nonsense. When Ironsi was in power there was no wholesale killing of people. The circumstances that informed Ojukwu's decision to declare the independence of his people were not manifest in 6 months Ironsi was in power

Your statement about Isaac Boro is hypocritical. There are many people who think that the federal government was right to fight Ojukwu for declaring secession. The same people now find issue with the federal Government fighting Adaka Boro for declaring the same thing! Why the hypocrisy? So it is Ojukwu that is good to fight but not Adaka Boro?

Get sense man nobody is a fool here

When Ojukwu rose to declare the freedom of his people from the British concocted country called Nigeria, some said he was stupid

When Ojukwu told them that these people would seek to kill and dominate his people, they didn't understand

When Ojukwu was fighting to liberate his people from the clutches of darkness, they called him unprintable names

Today, all Ojukwu warned about has come to pass

What Ojukwu saw 50 years ago, some needed Ruga to start seeing today.

Yyeske:
Meaning no access to the sea for Igboland na, hope you now finally agree that Igboland would be surrounded by Nigeria.
PH can never be part of Biafra

Not really. Have you ever been to Oguta in Imo state or Obuaku in Abia? Imo River runs through Oguta to the Ocean and the Azumini River runs from Obuaku straight into the Athlantic Ocean. River ports can be built in those places.

Times have changed, you dont need to be next door to the ocean to have access to the sea. Even Lokoja in Kogi can use the River Niger to ship goods with the right investment

Amanismone:
I just came across this nonsense when I search about my ethnic group, I wanted to see if it was only mined they changed. I was amazed.

Igbos please what is the meaning of this? Is it by force to be Biafra? Can't we as a minority say what we are? I don't see Hausa or Yoruba people doing this to the minorities in their region.

Niger delta is and will never be Biafra. Igboland is small landlock erosion ridden region with no resources. Let that sink in.

Which tribe is Niger Delta? So you dont know that the last president of Biafra was an Ibibio man called General Philip Effiong?

What does one expect? Orji Uzo Kalu will support Buhari in everything Buhari does as a loyal APC member.

Ttipsy:
Oga there is difference between bad roads and potopoto mud looking roads and flooding. that's no excuse.

Aba needs an intensive road reconstruction but unfortunately Mr ikepazu is just a massive failure in such aspect. he deserves to be impeached.

for decades Aba has being in the mess for bad roads isn't time to change such narrative ??

It has been long coming to change the narrative of Aba. A big commercial city like that to keep on suffering this for so many years is unpardonable.

I dont even like Ikpeazu but removing him wont solve the problem others before him could not.

The problem of Aba can only be solved if Nigeria is restructured and the revenue coming from Aba is used to take care of Aba

This is Aba. To be honest, Aba has had this problem of flooding in the raining season since the time immemorial. I dont know why because I have never lived in Aba. I'm not excusing Ikpeazu but this flooding of Aba has been a long time perennial problem

Tzadeola:
The most annoying thing about this thing that still keeps making my head boiling and spinning is how fg turn a blind eye to the crimes committed by this Fulanis, e.g they were killing and raping people in their farmland fg did nothing about it, they entered the country illegally fg did nothing about it, I wonder what's next...... Common protest biafrans did they not waste time in dancing python dance...... Bleep Buhari.....i just wished the people that voted the baboon in were the only one to suffer from his sto-opid and destructive decisions ���.....

What did you expect from Buhari who loves his Fulani and hates Igbos?

KidsNEXTdoor:
Don't you know that Boko Haram are not terrorists

Fulani herdsmen are not terrorists but deserve radio station and land all over the country

Bandits are not terrorists

It's only the IPOB who have not killed anyone that is a terrorist and deserve the python dance

It only remains for this government to give to give Shakau national award

Sent Army to go and kill unarmed IPOB youths but cannot send Army against the many armed groups that are killing Nigerians every day. There is God

You gave it your best shot, it didn't work out. Sometimes, that's how the cookie crumbles. Let's hope for the best in 2023

robinso01:
why is it dat anywhere there are fulanis,there must b bloodshed?why always dem?

When an ethnic group decides that they will go anywhere they like and make their cattle supreme lords of other people lands, it wont be long before somebody gets fed up and kills someone

He is probably sweating because he just recieved his first security vote................

Ndudi Elumelu is an Igbo man

AnanseK:
I’m surprised that you think your people or your largely ignorant masses on Nairaland have been diplomatic.

They have been too diplomatic. Pogroms, killings, rapes and quit notices by Northern but they still largely kept their cool

If it had been the other way round do you think the Northerners would have kept cool?

This is how Nwodo should be talking. Diplomacy does not work with Northerners

Why do these people think anybody will give them free land? If you have money, go and buy land like others. There is no free land in Igbo land

One Northerner to another

If he had been Igbo they would have thrown him in detention just like they did to Senator Abaribe

Spicycat:
OK thanks, but the guy was born a Christian right?

Yes

Unrated900:
You are the one typing trash

How would a leader be given orders to his slaves in another country


I wonder when the IGBOS will be wise

With your little few states you wanna be freed

One Nigeria is not by force. Even if it 1 tiny state they have, let them go their way. Unless you Nigerians cannot do without them

You are declare a terrorist organization by the government.

Fools

The Nigerian government is not as important as the government of America, Canada and Germany, all of which dont take Kanu as a terrorist and let him visit their country. Look at Kanu in America and you are cracking your head over who the shithole Nigerian government declares a terrorist
