Gadafii: pushing an APC, in war front in this 21st century
What happened to the billions of dollars buhari borrowed to buy weapons for the military, what if boko haram appear from nowhere , do you realize they are sitting ducks and walking corpses
Stop defending nonsense
YOU ARE VERY STUPID WITH NO BRAIN.
THE NIGERIAN ARMY HAS OVER 15,000 ARMOURED PERSONNEL CARRIERS.
YOU SAW ONE BEING PUSHED FOR REASONS TOTALLY UNKNOWN TO YOU, BUT YOU’VE REACHED ALL SORTS OF NEGATIVE CONCLUSIONS IN YOUR NASTY LITTLE HEAD.
Kalashnikov49: Are you saying this to make IGBOs fear BIAFRA? You are actually running mad per post. This shows truly that you are mortally afraid of having a country without IGBOs you hate.
God will forever grant the IGBO Nation their wish and BIAFRA as a Nation is as sure as DAY and NIGHT. Better start getting used to it and know this ...your rants bring me joy...KEEP CRYING!!
YOUR REPUBLIC ONLY EXISTS ON NAIRALAND AND IN SIMON EKPA'S HEAD IN FINLAND!
totit: Good news. Why are you now informing Nigerians or we're migerians there when you concocted the rubbish defaming the character of a person without evidence. Well, like somebody rightly said on twitter, calm down, avail yourself to DSS and provide your evidence and proof and you'd be set free.
I HOPE THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
THESE TRAITORS MUST BE CRUSHED AND PUT IN THEIR PLACE.
gidgiddy: The problem is that everything you wrote above are lies written by someone who either does not know Nigerian history, or is trying to be decietful
Ironsi arrested all the coup plotters within days of putting down the coup. He even convened a tribunal headed Lt Colonel Nwawo to try them. However, the fact that the coup was initially popular, the unsettled times, as well as politics all meant that the tribunal never managed to do its job until Ironsi was killed 6 months later
Nigeria was not practising confederation at the time, Ironsi did not abolish the 4 Regions that existed and he never tampered with resource control. It was Gowon who came after Ironsi and used Decree 14 to abolish all 4 Regions and created 12 new states to replacethem, then followed it up with decree 15 which abolished resource control and placed all resources in the hands of the federal government
So do your research well before opening threads like this to talk about history you dont know
Pack of lies.
Of course Ironsi sent Nzeogwu to Aba prison where he was freed by Ojukwu.
And of course Ironsi destroyed the autonomy of the regions and centralised power in a unitary state via Decree 34.
This is confirmed in this article by the US Council on Foreign Relations.
rinzaugustine: so you don’t even know they were in jail? This is shameful ignorance. Go and find the book your brother - Major Ademola Ademoyega wrote titled “ why we struck “ he was part of the coup detat that killed Sardauna ..this is shameful ignorance because if you can’t read travel to Lagos and research libraries or borrow books if you can’t afford it
Liar. WHICH JAIL?
Ironsi held Nzeogwu in luxury quarters in Kirikiri for a few weeks (many say it was actually to protect Nzeogwu from the rage of his colleagues) and then sent him to Aba prison where Ojukwu released him immediately!
JIBITI people!
WAYO people!
The northerners saw this charade and said ''HELL NO!''
To make it worse, Igbos living in the north were drawing cartoons of the Sardauna of Sokoto their kinsmen had killed, and mocking, laughing at the northerners there.
While the coupists were walking free!
In those days Igbos were so arrogant and proud, and felt everyone was beneath them.
The tragic northern pogroms and civil war were actually Nigeria's revolt against Igbo toxicity and narcissism.
wilmant: Had Aguiyi-Ironsi not established that federal system, the fortuitous convergence of your parents might have been precluded, consequently rendering your existence an improbable occurrence.
Your mere stating that without anything to back your claim amounts to hot air.
He was a hero Nigeria wanted to break up that was why he declared a unitary system. Anyone would have done same in his place.
If you people so much hated what he did
Why wasn't it reversed
YOU'RE VERY STUPID.
ALL HE NEEDED TO DO TO ''UNITE THE NATION'' WAS TO ARREST THE BLASTED MURDERERS WHO SLAUGHTERED THE PRIME MINISTER, THE SARDAUNA OF SOKOTO, AKINTOLA AND OTHER LEADERS, WHICH HE REFUSED TO DO AFTER 7 WHOLE MONTHS OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY BEGGING HIM.
HE CREATED THAT FEDERAL SYSTEM IN ORDER TO BE A FEDERAL DICTATOR AND HAVE ALL THE POWER TO HIMSELF, BUT WAS KILLED IN THE COUNTER-COUP.
YOU ARE ASKING WHY WASN'T IT REVERSED.
WHO WILL REVERSE IT FOR YOU AFTER YOU'VE TAUGHT THE MILITARY AND POLITICAL CLASS HOW TO CENTRALISE POWER AND LOOT?
Is Brigadier-General Aguiyi-Ironsi Nigeria's Greatest Enemy?
This man was handed power in 1966 after his kinsmen executed a bloody coup, killing the Prime Minister, Tafawa Balewa, and the top leaders from every region except theirs.
He refused to arrest the coup plotters for around 7 months despite nationwide appeals, and in the period, he DESTROYED Nigeria's CONFEDERATION of semi-autonomous regions, creating a FEDERAL system instead, with all powers vested in the centre, in Lagos (now Abuja), including power to harness natural resources. Everything now had to be approved by the 'federal government' - Ironsi's creation.
1) His refusal to arrest and try the coup plotters led to the massacre of Igbos in the north by outraged northerners, and the civil war that ensued.
2) His destruction of the confederation and creation of a federation led to the problems we have today, from corruption to inefficiency to nepotism to terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and economic difficulties.
onuman: A country in Africa which bombs its territory - Nigeria. Instead of political restructuring of Nigeria 🇳🇬 so that every region shall govern itself according to its religious beliefs and value systems
But that was how Nigeria was before you Igbos destroyed it in the 1966 coup and Ironsi made Nigeria 'federal' with a powerful centre.
Wow! Absolutely incredible. After I heard a while back about an ancient city in China named Anyang, nothing surprises me about this video’s revelations.
The north have soft spot on niger republic than fellow country men from the south.
Look how they are all running around to stop military intervention in niger,this same set of people were calling on buhari to declare state of emergency in south east because of ipob agitation..
If you Think that these sets of people will give a hoot if the coup happened in binin then you're deceiving your self..
So much for one nigeria!!!
No wonder buhari choosed someone from niger instead of fellow country man from the east..
Yes. They must like you.
You, do you like them?
I’ve never heard any of you say a good word about northerners.
Ghana has a better use of its resources and will protect itself when it has to. Ghana doesn’t see invading Niger as a solution here . Understand the dynamics of the situation and you’ll realize how messy it would be to invade Niger . Let Nigeria invade and see the shit that would happen to you.
Even Boko haram a ragtag misfits with no uniforms and footwears and fucking you in the ass. You go to Niger , they are going to get a good supply of arms from all sorts of rat holes and Nigeria would be regretting they invaded Niger !
You cut electricity to Niger , when war starts , the damn on the Niger River would be their first target and we shall see how you’ll like that !
Stupid donkey.
NAME ONE GHANA AIRFORCE FIGHTER JET.
ZERO.
IS IT AFTER YOU ARE ATTACKED THAT YOU WILL START BUYING THE JETS, YOU CLOWN?
ARE YOU AWARE THAT THE GHANA MILITARY RANKS BELOW BURKINA FASO?
BOKO HARAM HAS BEEN TROUNCED IN NIGERIA.
IF THEY WERE TO APPEAR IN GHANA, THAT COUNTRY WILL BE FINISHED.
AND YES, YOU SCHOOL DROPOUT, THE SIZE AND EQUIPMENT OF A MILITARY DETERMINES ITS STRENGTH.
What has the nonsense u wrote up there got to do with the topic at hand? So when did Ghana delegate it's defensive duties to Nigeria are u normal? So u wanted GHANA to send troops to Nigeria to fight boko haram or what..?
At least in Ghana, the Fulani herders don't dare rape or slaughter innocent Ghanaians without heavy repercussions, unlike ur almighty army who can't even contain common cow herders. Better shut up if u have nothing sensible to say and deal with ur failed bulabalu…!!!
Ghana hasn’t got a SINGLE fighter jet. Her army comprises cowards afraid of their own shadows.
An army of tea makers and check point attendants.
If terrorists or a foreign enemy were to target Ghana, she would be completely defenceless, and like Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Gambia before her, would rely on NIGERIA for deliverance.
If you can’t stand to hear that truth, go jump in a lagoon, you stupid school dropout, and fcking air head.
