I’m not interest in wasting my data to read your lies. So Hausas can’t differentiate between Ibos and yorubas that will now make them attack Ibos for the perceived provocation by Yorubas ?

Go and find better thing to do with your useless time

Smallie read more and stop yapping like a parrot Oya make I spoonfeed you as you no get data.

We might never know the truth about the events of '60-'66.

A lot has been hidden but the truth keeps on seeping out. Awo planned a coup with moral support from Ghana and was stockpiling weapons. This is what made a young and naive Ojukwu believe Awo would support the idea of secession

In order to win yoruba support for the FG which had been dealt with by the Balewa government they suppressed the information after Awo was released and made minister under Gowon

efighter:
If he said this while Ojukwu was alive, what would Ojukwu have done? Go and fight Gowon again? I am sure he will on his own just as he was on his own when he contested for President in 2003 and lost all SS and SE states to Obasanjo. Gowon won the war, so he is not afraid of anyone.

There is no dignity in him talking about a dead man. It shows cowardice.

Gowon kept mute for fifty years and waited until the man passed away before he started talking

efighter:
Gowon won the war, so when he eventually dies, he will die with pride and smile on his face for keeping Nigeria one and humiliating the enemies

Which pride? His homeland Plateau and geo-political zone has become a killing field by the same people who used him to fight the war

ProWalker:
Which massacre? Which year and what led to it?

Yoruba crowds jeered at Northern politicians in Lagos so they went back and mobilised a riot but targeted Igbos and their properties instead of yorubas

This old man should not do this to himself. Gowon waited until Ojukwu died to start spewing all these silly lies. So where are the original meeting papers? Lets see what they agreed upon at Aburi

How does this aid the emergence of Amotekun?

Tinubu the betrayer right now

judondasylva:
So because it has reached your guys now you want the South to unite? When it’s against the igbos you all will be shouting you don’t know what they want and that they have no right to seek justice

He is igbo

Meaning what? You are too sentimental to be in politics.is it a must to be with gej

The people who ganged up on GEJ didn't mind plunging us into anarchy and civil war. Is that what you call politics? Anything they see take abeg. Where is saraki today?

vicdom:
Tambuwal is likely to lose his seat as over 1000 policemen deployed ahead of supreme court judgement slated for today. No police to Kano and Imo. I think the judgement is passed even before the commencement of the supreme court hearing.

I wouldn't be surprised. All those who worked against GEJ have been getting their reward one by one

....Southwest we all know loves peace and harmony ,But unnecessary Wars.....nope nope

iSlayer:
Unlike what you'd think if you're not in the Middlebelt, they are not willing to go with Arewastan (core North) in the event of a break up. Most of them detest the idea to the very last!

Now, looking at some dynamics at play. These people are not power desperate. They would be able to sit together and discuss their way forward. Secondly, they don't have the curse of oil. They are great farmers (the best in the whole country actually) and all that oil politics and strive will not come in.

I think they'll make a stable country if they go it alone.



Coming to the Niger Delta, they're more developed and educated than the Middlebelt and also filthy rich due to the abundance of Crude Oil in the region. However, the desperation for power amongst them is unrivaled across the country. Can they sit together and chart a common course, without resorting to show of force, in the event of a breakup? It looks unlikely.


Between the two, which in your estimation can form a stable working country, devoid of political strife?

Middle belt will be a very stable country because they have unity of purpose and a lot of economic potential. If they are shrewd, tourism can be their chief source of revenue. They do have their issues like the Tiv and Jukun fights though

I doubt Niger Delta can even form an independent state. They never seem to agree on anything.

kettykings:
The backlash against the ipob bss , which was the first regional Security outfit set up to fight against criminality in the east cannot be forgotten.

Don't mind them. Igbos have generally showed support for this thing but if it had been South East that formed theirs they will start crying about Nzeogwu and 1966

The owners of Lagos burnt their property no controversy here

hisexcellency34:
Giving the rising cases of kidnapping and attacks by Fulani herdsmen in the South East, why can't governors in the region come together like their South West counterparts and launch their own version of 'Operation Amotekun'?

Every SE state has a vigilante service supported by the government with logistics and weapons. Its not by force to copy because each region is unique.

If I drink beer in your region, hisbah can flog me in the name of sharia but South West cannot form security network for their own region? Una eye go clear las las

The whole thing is just politics. I am just sorry for Makinde. He doesn't understand the true aim of this thing

gidgiddy:
Really? The North and Yorubas were against Nigeria being joined together but only one man called Zik decided that Nigeria must be joined together? Only a very foolish person will believe such story

The day one decides to list the lies of yorubas the thread might reach 10,000 pages because the lies are almost uncountable.

Such as

yorubas fought Biafra troops at Ore (lie),

Igbos did not play a major role in fighting for June 12/MKO Abiola, (lie),

Zik singlehandedly joined amalgamated north and southern Nigeria (funny lie),

yoruba votes are what made GEJ president in 2011 (lie),

Gowon personally released Awo from Eastern Region

Yorubas fought Aso Rock cabal for VP GEJ to become president

This your moniker name sef

seunmsg:
Actually, what I wrote is the opinion of the generality of Igbos as expressed on social media platforms and not the assertion of just someone.

Igbos generally don't care for the presidency. The Igbos want secession or restructuring in the interim.

The bandits don't have vip customers on the Abj-KD road anymore because they are all on the trains. If this government has sense they will ensure security along train routes

MetaPhysical:

He said Native Authority and you countered him with Southern Nigeria Police Force.

You are obviously uneducated about Native Administration or you wouldnt have responded with that.

You need to be educated on what Native Authority was.

Lol. The police force was divided between southern and northern police. I don't run from knowledge so feel free to educate me on the Native Authority. I have heard of non-yoruba (southerner) officers in yoruba land in that period.

oyatz:
The OP is correct.

During the 1940s, police men were recruited locally by the Native Authority (NA)Administration from among the natives.

Maybe rank and file were recruited locally but there was a Southern Nigeria Police and senior officers like Onyejekwe were deployed all over the south. Not that I care for this Obasanjo story but it's important not to distort history

GEJ is the face of African modern democracy as far as the foreign community knows. Obasanjo would have been but the third term attempt spoiled everything.

Then you must have read beer parlour history. For the facts that Calabar port was built and used to exports labourers( slaves) and resources, your brain ought to decode that lots of activities went down dere.
https://www.britannica.com/place/Calabar
Help yourself with that link, and get the truth.
If any stuff you read online tells you Lagos is the first capital then have it in mind that it's written by a Nigerian or the Nigeria government, and the reason is that Lagos was the Capital when Nigeria gained her independence in 1960 so it was the first time the people of Nigeria moved the capital to Abuja in 1991 and they might want to lay claim that Lagos was the first which is bulshit. Let me educate you on why the capital was moved down to Abuja from Lagos, there are numerous reasons which you can find online why Muritala Muhammad proposed it, IBB excuted it such as the Geographical location of Lagos in the deep heart of Yorubaland, and because it is majorly surrounded by water and it vulnerable to external force, Abuja being more at the centre but the main reasons why Yoruba leaders of thoughs agreed that capital should be moved away from our land was because Nigeria is a multi ethnic country, they do not want our culture to be polarised and diluted also the first coup, Lagos state was captured by you igbo, second coup it was recaptured by Hausa fulanis during the biafra war, you Igbos want to come down to Lagos and bomb it despite the fact that it was Hausa fulanis that was killing you in the North. So the leaders of Yoruba school of thought feel it wise to support the move to move the capital to Abuja. Even some few years back some in the North I can really remember who suggested it, I think Sanusi or el rufai suggested Lagos should be made second Capital but we Yorubas kicked against it.

This one must be 7 years old or something what type of joke is this

joeyfire:
I never knew Ironsi ordered Awo's release. I am sorry for that man. Today they blame him for everything because he died suddenly

Propagandists are very devilish people. Now we know why they had to quickly murder Ironsi and Fajuyi

naijaking1:
For the avoidance of doubt: Ironsi's SMC passed a resolution to release Awo(with the exception Hassan Katsina who voted against) then it was up to Ojukwu as the governor of the East to effect the SMC resolution. Ojukwu released Awo on 7/27/1966!

Hassan Katsina was a snake o Same devil who alongside Gowon, slowed down the release of the investigative report on the entire Jan 15 coup plot because they didn't want the truth to come out before their revenge coup and secession plan. If the report had come out it would have been clear it wasn't an Igbo coup

The truth ALWAYS comes out
