Fuckyoumod: leave those noisemakers, the law have spoken. They will all be smoked out by the military the moment they fvck around.
Nothing dey happen!
The highest court of the land has spoken! Everybody and group must obey and abide by the judgement of the court.
Shut up! Which law are you talking about? Do you have laws or judiciary in Nigeria? For your info, APC has killed anything pertaining to law in Nigeria so, I suggest this APC government should trade with caution.
yarimo: And each of the sub standard vehicle worth #1 billion according to the fraudster governor of abia state
I know you must be here! Show us where Otti said that the worth of each of the vehicle is #1 billion. I have noticed something in Nigeria and that is, whenever those hungry Igbo haters hates any Igbo leader so much just know that, that particular leader means well for his people.
danvon: The fact that Biafra didnt get that support shows just how terrible Ojukwu was at politics and diplomacy. He was so foolish that he managed to unite USA, Britain and Soviet Union (three rivals) on the same team for Nigeria. He even miraculously managed to turn the neutral midwest against Biafra.
War isnt just about fighting, it is also about Diplomacy.
If Biafrans were Ukrainians, nobody would have supported Ukraine to begin with.
The problem I have with you lots is that, most times you people either lie or say things that is beyond your reasoning capacity. Ojukwu fought 3rd world war in disguise that's what I call the civil war and truly that's what it was. That's why the algorithms was against him. The things I said here are beyond you. The war was not between Ojukwu/Biafra and yorubas, neither was it Biafra and Hausa/Fulani. The war was between Ojukwu and the world if you don't know, know it now.
oilyngbati: Vlodomyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine reminds us of Ojukwu of Igbo Biafra in the years 1967-1970, who ignored all advice against fighting an un-winnable war.
Chief Obafemi Awolowo went personally to meet with Ojukwu and advised him against any military confrontation with the federal government, but ojukwu in his nzogbu nzogbu mentality refused to listen and considered Awolowo a nobody.
Some Igbo elders like Chief Mbazuilike Amaechi, Dr. Michael Opara, Zik and the rest warned Ojukwu against that war, but he refused and even placed them under house arrest.
Emmanuel Ifeajuna, in September 1967 advised Ojukwu to surrender because Biafra lacks food, medicine, military equipment and international allies to prosecute the war. Ifeajuna even went on to offer to do the surrendering to the federal side, while ojukwu leaves for exile, but Ojukwu refused and later branded Ifeajuna a saboteur and executed him alongside Victor Banjo. Fast forward 3 years later, after over 3 million lives have been lost, the coward Ojukwu then did that same thing Ifeajuna advised him to do—-went on exile to Ivory Coast in 1970!
Today, in the Ukraine, we have Zelenskyy, stubborn and carried away in his own illusion of thinking he can win Russia. Even with all the NATO support, he has ended up setting Ukraine 100 years back. All over Europe, many Ukrainian young girls are trafficked for prostitution——reminds us of Biafran women in prostitution racketeering…this is what a stubborn leader brings to his people…destruction, death, misery, agony, hopelessness, despair and endless pain!
The Igbo Biafra say they are ready for another war and would allow Namadi cownu and Simon Ekpa plunder them into another un-winnable one. They say even if they loose, they can always recover, after all their fathers bounced back from the last one they lost. Need I remind this generation of Igbos that their fathers recovered because of the magnanimity of other Nigerians and the Gowon’s mantra “no victor, no vanquished”. Nigerians were good people then, but I can’t say thesame for the present day Nigerians. Any ethnic group that engages in war with the federal govt and loose, will not have it easy in trying to recover, so peace is the best option. There are more mouths to feed now and everybody eye dey red.
A word is enough for the wise….in war, all is fair. Think about the elderly, disabled, the women and children who are most vulnerable in most crises.
Our fathers survived under the magnanimity of which Nigerians? Is it the Nigerians that seized Igbo properties or what? The 3Rs gowon promised after causing the war, why didn't he keep to his promise?
oilyngbati: LOL @ the bolded It seems in Igboland, thunders strikes at thesame spot thousand of times over and over again….this generation of Igbos are nothing but nkpuru miri generation. That’s why they believe Buhari died and became Jubril from Sudan
Some of us believed that because, you lots and your government was unable to prove Kanu wrong as of the time the news was making waves. Even uptill now, none of you have proven that as false.

Enough of these lies and propaganda from yoruba coven. Why is it that all these Igbo haters don't blame Gowon? Everytime is Ojukwu this, ojukwu. Is gowon innocent? This was exactly how they tagged awolowo/yoruba coup Igbo, when in the real sense it's not.
MrPristine: BATists and other political adversaries are always quick to refer to the politically motivated uncomplimentary remarks that Obasanjo made about Atiku in his book while conveniently ignoring the even more damming statements he made about Tinubu in the same book.
When next any BATist makes reference to the remarks in Obasanjo's book, just share the adjoining fliers with the useless bunch of chronic hypocrites. 🙄
reno, yarimo, beerfraud, Sharpsharp00123 and ApcHaram will turn a blind eye to this. Obi is the only problem they know.
ScamHunter: I asked ChatGPT how a popular coup d'etat morphed into an Igbo coup. Here's it's response:
Britain had strategic interests in Nigeria and was keen on maintaining influence over its former colony, particularly regarding economic and political stability. Labeling the January 1966 coup as an "Igbo coup" served multiple purposes:
1. Preserving Northern Political Dominance: The British had historically aligned with the Northern Region's political elites, who were seen as more cooperative with British interests compared to the more westernized and assertive Southern Nigerians, including the Igbo. By supporting the narrative of an "Igbo coup," Britain helped justify the counter-coup of July 1966, which reinstated northern dominance.
2. Protecting Economic Interests: British companies had significant investments in Nigeria, particularly in oil and trade. A government led by officers from the south, particularly the Igbo, might have pursued economic policies that reduced British influence. Encouraging instability through ethnic divisions helped maintain British leverage.
3. Managing Post-Colonial Influence: By amplifying ethnic tensions, Britain could continue to exert indirect control. If the coup was seen as an Igbo attempt to seize power rather than a nationalist revolution, it would weaken pan-Nigerian unity and reinforce divisions that Britain had historically exploited.
4. Influencing Civil War Narratives: The portrayal of the coup as an "Igbo coup" later justified the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970) by framing the Igbo-led secession of Biafra as a continuation of ethnic dominance rather than a response to massacres and marginalization.
By pushing the "Igbo coup" narrative, Britain helped sustain Nigeria as a divided state where ethnic politics could be manipulated to serve external interests.
Kog45: Awolowo drank poison to avoid arrest of a failed audio coup... Awolowo planned 1966 coup?well not surprised cuz Buhari is a Jubril from Sudan,always believing nonsense
Na you wey believe it's Igbo coup dey believe nonsense always.
Nigerians knows right from 1966 it was an Ibo coup the moment the western and northern premier leader were killed. IBB never said it wasn’t an Ibo coup, you people are just trying hard to make a twist which can’t even work..
Awolowo, a civilian planned a military coup from prison using the military. How slow can you people be? You’re looking for who to pin a military coup on, you couldn’t find any military man, nah civilian man una con hold for mouth..
Dumbo everywhere..
Which Nigerians? Just say yorubas because they are the only people having acute heart attack over what IBB said. How can it be an Igbo coup when, Igbos as a tribe/people did not give the coupists their mandate? How can you call it Igbo coup when about 4 yoruba military officers were involved in the said coup? It was awolowo coup because, the people that was killed were awolowo enemies. It's either you lots don't have brains or, hate for anything Igbo is driving you lots crazy.
LegendHero: Awo eventually mentioned Yakubu Gowon released him.
He was only saying in that text you the promise upon promise Ironsi keep parroting then.
On every page of newspaper then, Ironsi will claim he will release the prisoners which he never did. If they no kill am that time, Awo would have been in prison for a longer time.
Below is the video of baba safely in Gowon’s hand.
danvon: It makes no sense to me, if I was Igbo I would be proud of it especially seeing that lots of innocent Igbos were killed because of it.
It's like if someone accuses you of stealing then punishes you very severely, what is the point of saying you didn't steal? You might as well take pride in the fact that you were courageous enough to steal (stealing takes audacity), you could also take pride in the fact that you did the community a big favour by being used as a deterrence to other thieves.
Igbos should embrace the coup and celebrate it, instead of historical revisionism. All this constant back and forth denials is very degrading and insulting to Igbos.
From the look of things you are not ok upstairs. The reasons you gave here why Igbos should accept what they did not do, is even very poor that's why I said you are not ok.
ChiefJusticeFuc: Ifeanjuna had sometime during the heat of the war saw reason to pen down his own version of events and had entrusted Chinue Achebe with a hand written manuscript with the instructions to have Achebe have it published.
That manuscript contained not just Ifeanjuna's recollection of events of the coup but provided reasons and justification for it. The manuscript also contained what was Ifeanjuna's manifesto.
In his book , There was a country , Achebe confirmed that he did receive Ifeanjuna's manuscript with instructions to have it published in future but Achebe outrightly refused to publish it after going through it and said the manuscript contained too much erroneous information coupled with leftist ideology.
By erroneous information, we should understand that Achebe - a serial liar and propagandists, did not like what ifeanjuna had to say regarding the events surrounding the coup and it's agenda.
I will Infer here that Ifeanjuna's manuscript dropped names and was critical of Ibo leaders at that time such as Ojukwu and Zik which did not fit to Achebe's ongoing tribal and hate filled propaganda.
Note that ifeanjuna wrote that manuscript because he knew his life was in danger not from federal forces that were closing in on Biafra but from Ojukwu himself. Ojukwu will later have ifeanjuna arrested, court martialed and executed for treason.
I keep saying it that Achebe remains the greatest liar to ever exist who refused to end his war held position as chief propagandist for the Biafran side.
Why do wole Soyinka refuse to access tinibu government the way he promised?
yoruboid: Over 30 unidentified bodies of suspected ritual killing victims have been found on Imo River in Oriendu autonomous community, Umuahia North local government area of Abia State since last year.
The traditional ruler of the community, HRH Eze Philip Ajomiwe, stated this while speaking with LEADERSHIP Sunday in his palace after the body of a woman was found
“The bodies, like the recent one, are either completely naked and without their private parts or in a bag. There’ve also been cases of two decomposing bodies seen beside the NNPC pipeline,” he said.
Explaining that there had not been any arrests since then by the security agents, he expressed concern that the situation was getting out of hand and had created fear in and around the community.
According to the monarch, efforts by the community’s vigilante group to arrest the suspects had failed too, because the group is not as equipped as the suspects are said to be.
“So, we’re appealing to the state government to empower the vigilante group with the necessary logistics and the wherewithal to enable it to match the suspects,” he said.
He argued that nobody ever embarks on such a mission with empty hands especially when the enemy is fully armed with sophisticated weapons and is ready to fight back.
He asserted that his complaints about the situation to the agents had been to no avail, noting that the latest was a letter to the speaker of the State House of Assembly on February 7.
The monarch, who appreciated the government’s upward review of monthly stipends of the traditional rulers, however, noted that the amount is not enough for them to handle insecurity.
He maintained that as the monarchs do not have security votes like the governor to equip their communities’ vigilante groups, the communities need the intervention of the government for peace and security.
As long as there was military invasion in that area and in okigwe which is just a stone throw from the river, I can never believe this trash. Igbos are not known for ritual killings like yorbads.
renderme: Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, said there is nowhere in former military Head of State Ibrahim Babangida’s book, A Journey in Service, where he stated that the coup of January 15, 1966, was not an Igbo coup.
Fani-Kayode insisted that those claiming it was not an Igbo coup are wrong, stating that they are either misguided and misinformed or mischievous.
The ex-Minister stated in a post on his X handle that IBB was charitable to the Igbos in his book. He, however, noted that this does not give anyone the license to misinterpret Babangida’s words and conclusions or use them in an attempt to revise history.
He wrote:
"It was heinously callous for Nzeogwu to have murdered Sir Ahmadu Bello and his wife, Hafsatu, because not only were they eminently adored by many but also because they were said not to have put up a fight. From that moment the putsch was infiltrated by "outsiders" to its supposed original intention and it took on an unmistakable ethnic coloration compounded by the fact that there were no related coup activities in the Eastern Region"- President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, 'A Journey In Service: An Autobiography', February 2025.
I hate to burst your bubble, but there is NOWHERE in IBB’s book where he said that the coup of January 15, 1966, was NOT an Igbo coup.
In fact, he alluded to the contrary above, when he said the coup had taken on an ‘unmistakable ethnic coloration.
That is what he wrote, and that is the reality. The coup was an ethnic one, and that ethnicity was Igbo!
Those who have misinterpreted his words and claimed that he wrote the coup was not an Igbo coup are either misguided and misinformed or being mischievous.
They have a poor understanding of the English language and, in most cases, have not even read the book. Instead, they rely on erroneous social media quotes and well-crafted disinformation.
I suggest that they procure a copy of the book, read it from cover to cover, and stop attempting to revise history by misinterpreting the words of the esteemed author.
IBB, in his characteristic manner, was charitable to the Igbos in his book, but that does not give anyone the license to misinterpret his words and conclusions or use them in an attempt to revise history.
The facts are clear, and they are as follows: 99% of the officers who planned and executed the Jan. 15, 1966, coup and were involved in the mutiny were Igbo, and 99% of those murdered by them were non-Igbo military officers and political leaders, in some cases including their wives.
We owe it to the memory of those who were so callously slaughtered not to sugarcoat the bitter truth, not to revise history, and not to tell lies.
The coup was UNMISTAKABLY an Igbo one, and IBB made this very clear when he wrote about its ‘ethnic coloration.
I urge all those who have a poor understanding of the English language and cannot read more than three lines of any book or essay to stop using his words to establish their revisionist and patently dishonest narrative and their futile attempt to perpetuate an age-old lie.
The truth is that the Jan. 15, 1966, coup WAS an Igbo one, and I am glad to say that IBB has confirmed it.
This is a FACT, and as our journalist friends will tell you, facts are sacred, and opinion is cheap.
kettykings: A key participant in the events of that period has come out to say what really happened from his perspective, and someone that was born after the war is countering it. Countering it on what grounds. 99% of the problems of Nigeria are from ignorant people.
An igbo man, John Obienu, stopped the coup, and yet ignorant people will still go about their ignorance that it was an Igbo coup
