Okonandmary: Igbo people are also in prison in jos.
I have no hate against igbo people, my wife is igbo.
Not only in prisons..even schools in jos . Igbo population in Nigeria is such that after indigenes in every local govt,they are next in population...., contributing quite significantly..They are easily the most populous in Africa.
To me,that would want some respecting.. even you couldn't resist keying into the igbo goodness could you?
kingthreat: Something that has an igbo name, you are still denying its existence in the South East? You know what there is no meth. Let your youths do whatever they want. Las las, when una mental homes full, una go get sense. Say no to drugs.
igbo name ke. Mpkuru mmiri simply means ice,..as in ice block
To modestly run a family of 4, just 2 kids..you need atleast 250k a month with the situation of things in the country now.. now ask yourself how many homes make this income monthly now. Less than 10 percent of the population. 10 percent na very poor mark!
Kingpele: Peace is priceless but fighting ones blood is stupidity ,my younger sons have done terrible things to me but whenever I remember they are from the same womb with me ,I forgive them even if they don't ask ,your brother is the one that will remember you when u die whether he want it or not ,am in that shoe today, and I know that only your blood got your back forever
There were 13 Military formations of Which 11 were headed by Easterners many of them Sandhurst Trained Officers who all fled to the East instead of making any attempt to rescue the Kidnapped head of State General Ironsi and his host Col Fajuyi
gen ogundipe alone was the only one who sent Soldiers to Confront the July 1966 Coup plotters twice
In the First atttempt the Military Cooks,Clerks and Technicians that ogundipe had quickly assembled were Ambushed near the Airport and 30 of them were Killed also killed were 2 European Citizens
At the 2nd attempt gen ogundipe sent gowon to engage with the Coup plotters and get them to surrender but gowon was Captured as a hostage by them and after 2 days they made him their new Leader and head of State
All the Eastern Officers who were battalion Commanders with Troops and Artillery had fled for their lives to the East and Completely abandoned gen ogundipe
So with what exactly did they expect ogundipe to fight with since Ironsi their kinsman had diligently made sure that ogundipe had no fighting Infantry Troop formations under him that he could Command since almost all the Battalions were Commanded by Easterners for reasons best known to Ironsi
The remaining 2 battalions were Commanded by Northerners of which the Commander at Ibadan was a big part of the Coup and Shuwa in far away Kano was already dealing with the Mutiny in Kano
Eastern officers and men that have already been decimated in the barracks by their northern counterparts in their sleep.. The few who were lucky to miraculously make it to the east had to organise 'waking ceremonies' after their people had earlier organised funeral ceremonies to mourn their 'demise' .
Soldiering is never for the weak hearts.. things began deteriorating when brig ogundipe abdicated his duty. Thats fair weather soldiering. You are a soldier and enjoying all the benefits,respect and honor that comes with it. But when its time to take responsibility and initiative,u suddenly remembered it is a risky job.No excuses for that!
All that is in the distant...ancient past now,but no use distorting facts just to feel good.. Cowardice in the army can lead to death of many.. it did in this case.. over 4m civillian lives
Grossly incompetent comes across as the Buhari you support
competence to them simply means ability to send truck loads of rampaging soldiers to go murder innocents and destroy properties on a large scale.. once you have a mind to do this on a regular and massive scale,it don't matter if u destroy a florishing economy within a few months of takeover..
