if you don't know history, go and sit somewhere and read comprehensively ..how was Aguiyi Ironsi complicit? He was never in the know of that coup. He was kill because he didn't sentence the coup plotters to death by decree

Could the present punishment for rapists according to our law be enough to deter others. What do you think should be the ideal punishment for a rapist by your standard?As for me nothing can give assurance of eradicating rapists aside life imprisonment.

Igbos are not and never will run from their States. Take business away from an Igbo man and he returns home. What brings Igbos to your place is nothing more than the facts that he seeks the opportunity to expand his business into your hinterlands not because he is running away from his father's land like most Yorubas who have abandoned Ekiti, Osun, Ondo etc and claim Lagos do. Every Igbo man knows his father's place. Wonder why no matter how many donkey years he spends in Lagos, every Christmas he
closes his business and returns home to build. Wonder why it is almost a disgrace for a full fledged Igbo man or woman to be buried outside his ancestral place. So stop insulting Igbos as wonderers who have no home. They have ancestral homes which they return to if not alive or dead. How many of the Yorubas claiming Lagos ever return home again?

Niger is bigger than any land they can get in the South ...so what's the issue

Akaegwu:

Relocate to any Igbo state.
Invest in the state
Build in the state
Form yoruba union in the state
Turn to politician in the state
Contest for election in the state
THEN,
You will win elections in the state.
You can't comfortably hole yourself in your region while expecting political relevance in Igbo land.
Go their, associat with people
Let them see you have something to offer
If you are not ready to mingle with people outside your region, your name is sorry.

My friend keep quiet and stop making silly comments!

You don't listen to RadioBiafra so shut your mouth! EVERY IGBO POLITICIAN asides Abaribe has been marked for STONING or BEATING by IPOB whether home or abroad.

Keep quiet if you have nothing meaningful to say.

When someone is so lazy mentally that he can't even check Wikipedia to read about the history of his own country but can rush online to display ignorance, what do you call him or her?

FYI Ironsi did not plan any coup but actually quelled and overturned the coup of Nzeogwu, a fellow Igbo man.

He was the most senior military officer and took control of the country for a brief period.

He was later murdered by Northern officers who then went on to plunge Nigeria into the mess we have today.

Now that I have educated you don't come to the public to spout ignorance. You can't change our history. Whoever told you that Ironsi planned a coup made a mockery of you.

OPEN LETTER FROM COL. DANGIWA UMAR (RTD) TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI

Muhammadu Buhari,
President,
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,
Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Dear Mr. President,

MR. PRESIDENT; PLEASE BELONG TO ALL OF US.

“One of the swiftest ways of destroying a Kingdom is to give preference of one particular tribe over another or show favor to one group of people rather than another. And to draw near those who should be kept away and keep away those who should be drawn near” Sheikh Usman Dan Fodio.

I have been prompted to write you this open letter, Mr. President, by the loud sounds of drums, singing and dancing that erupted within many groups in the last few days on the grounds that you attained the 5th year in office as President of Nigeria. It comes as no surprise that enthusiasm for the celebration is not shared equally by segments of the public. While your admirers and supporters believe you have performed well, many others believe the five years you have been in office as our President has not met the yearnings, expectations and change promised Nigerians.

Mr. President, you know me well enough and my position on issues to realize that I can be neither a rabid supporter nor a fanatical opponent of yours. I believe being a responsible citizen is enough reason to wish you well and to work for your success. As we have seen all too clearly these past few years, your success is ours as is your failure. We swim or sink with you!

You might wish to recall that after the results of the 23rd of February 2019 presidential elections were announced, giving you victory, I addressed a press conference during which I urged the runner-up, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, to concede defeat. The reason was clear: tensions were running high and little missteps by the leaders might ignite violence, as often happened after major elections. Some supporters of Abubakar Atiku disagreed with me and told me off. As it happened, Alhaji Atiku went ahead to mount a legal challenge to the outcome of the elections up to the Supreme Court. Mercifully, his actions did not result in an outbreak of violence as we feared.

At the same occasion, I counselled the declared winner, your good self, to use the opportunity of your second term to redeem your pledge of being a leader and president of all Nigerians.

On the occasion of the first-year anniversary into your second four-year term, I feel there is an urgent need to revisit this subject matter.

Mr. President, you have often expressed the hope that history will be kind to you. It is within your competence to write that history. But you have less than three years in which to do it. You may wish to note that any authentic history must be devoid of myth. It will be a true, factual rendition of the record of your performance.

And truth be told, Mr. President, there are quite a lot of things that speak to your remarkable accomplishments, not least of which is that for the first time in our democratic history, a sitting President was defeated. That feat was achieved by Muhammadu Buhari. The reason was the public belief of you as a man of integrity.

The corollary to this is that at the expiration of your 8-year tenure in 2023, your achievements will not be measured solely by the physical infrastructure your administration built. An enduring legacy would be based on those intangible things like how much you uplifted the spirit and moral tone of the nation. How well have you secured the nation from ourselves and from external enemies?

At this time and in the light of all that have happened since you took office, any conversation with you Mr. President cannot gloss over the chaos that has overtaken appointments into government offices in your administration. All those who wish you and the country well must mince no words in warning you that Nigeria has become dangerously polarized and risk sliding into crisis on account of your administration’s lopsided appointments which continues to give undue preference to some sections of the country over others.

Nowhere is this more glaring than in the leadership cadre of our security services.

Mr. President, I regret that there are no kind or gentle words to tell you that your skewed appointments into the offices of the federal government, favoring some and frustrating others, shall bring ruin and destruction to this nation.

I need not remind you, Mr. President, that our political history is replete with great acts of exemplary leadership which, at critical moments, managed to pull this nation back from the precipice and assured its continued existence.

A few examples will demonstrate this:

In February, 1965, the NPC-led Federal Government was faced with a decision to appoint a successor to the outgoing Nigerian Army General Officer Commanding (GOC), General Welby Everard, a Briton. Four most senior officers were nominated; namely, Brigadiers Aguiyi Ironsi, Ogundipe, Ademulegun and Maimalari. The first three were senior to Maimalari but he was deemed to be more qualified due to his superior commission. He was the first Sandhurst Regular trained officer in the Nigerian Army. His being a Muslim Northerner like the Minister of Defense, Alhaji Muhammadu Ribadu and the Prime Minister, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa granted him added advantage by today’s standards. But to the surprise of even the Igbos, and opposition from some senior NPC members, Minister Ribadu recommended Ironsi, pointing to his seniority. The Prime Minister concurred and Aguiyi Ironsi was confirmed as the first indigenous GOC of the Nigerian Army.

Time will come, tables will turn, and the sun will rise in Biafra....
There will be only one voice and that the voice of revenge...

It 50 years + and yet we have not forgotten..... that should tell you something...... Many of us were not born during the Biafra - Nigeria war.

But our parents and grandparents suffered it that so the handed the information to us. we grew up learning about the war and we will teach our own children about the war....

So that when the call of revenge blings Africa and the world will understand that some SINS cannot be forgiven....

Nigeria is too scared of letting the IGBOS go.
Because we still remain the Engine the moves nigeria without the Igbos Nigeria will be the TALL Dwarf of AFRICA .

Why force someone to be your friend.....

And pls stop linking Asaba to IGBO
You said IGBOS killed people of other tribe but that a big Lie .. You should rather say THE ANIOMA TRIBE killed people of other tribe

Chukwuma Nzeogwu plotted the coup and he is Anioma...
Back then the Igbos did not know that the South South IGBOID groups does not like them (now we know better)

(PROUDLY IGBO)

You are quick to say that you are more than Yoruba in some places only because you are traders who are always seen in markets etc.

The fact is that Yorubas are the most viral travellers in Nigeria because of their ingrained lust for adventure and success.

Itshekiri,Olukumi,Yorubas that have become Igbos in IMO state,Yoruba indigenes in Dahomey now Benin Republic etc all left Yorubaland to travel long and wide to these places.

It was only the civil war that turned Igbos to travellers but they still have a smaller number in the diaspora compared to Yorubas.

[s]Oga, Mandarin has 920Million native speakers. These are people who speak Mandarin as their first language. It is a Chinese language of the Han People. stop forming like you're an expert in Chinese language and culture. You have never been to China in your life. Your information is from Google, just like everyone else.


I maintain my stand that an ethnic group or tribe being spread across countries doesn't automatically translate to the largest in Numbers. It happens most times but not all times, else Hausa language, Spanish language and French language speakers that are spread across many countries would have been Larger than Mandarin speakers.

Is China larger than South America that is almost entirely Spanish speakers?

So Yoruba cannot use that as a claim against anything.

I'm done with you[/s].

Igbo influence lingers in more subtle ways, especially linguistically, down to the Pidgin English (imported from the Caribbean) that we speak in Nigeria! Una (from Igbo 'unu'), 'dey' (from Igbo 'di' i.e Chi di/God dey), tee (from Igbo 'tee' ie o teela/e don tee) etc all come from Igbo language. The Jamaicans still say 'unu', not even 'una'! Igbo 'unu (una, wuna, uno, unnu, wunu) is used virtually across all English-based patois in the whole world, from Nigerian PE, Sierra Leone PE, Ghanaian PE, in Belize patois, Jamaica, Guyana etc. You name it.

An Island here in the US is called 'Ebos landing' and up until the 1980s, some African Americans still bore 'Ebo' as their surname! Due to the high concentration of Igbo slaves in the state of Virginia, US, VA was nickamed, 'new eboeland' and in this regard did the state, not Igbos, decide to build an Igbo village in Staunton VA in recognition of the past heavy Igbo presence.

Yoruba Ifa which originally was practiced by Yoruba slaves was embraced by descendants from other tribes (even till this day) as a way of connecting to Mama Africa/their African heritage and has transformed into a religion for afro-descended blacks but it does not mean that all adherents are Yorubas or have Yoruba ancestry. A substantial number aren't Yorubas by blood and their DNA admixture test will prove this. Brazilian and Cuban blacks are a good mix of Congolese, Angolese and European genes. Some Igbo as well. Roman Catholicism originated from Rome and spread worldwide to have hundreds of millions of adherents. A good number of Igbos today are Roman Catholics but they are not Romans. Also, in Judaism, you could be a Jew either by religious conversion or by having Jewish (esp maternal) ancestry. However, only those of true Jewish genetic ancestry are regarded as Jews.

When many afro-descendants start to investigate into their African ancestry, they often encounter Yoruba Ifa first but I've seen many of them join and leave the religion, especially after DNA testing indicates non-Yoruba origins. I belong to several Afro-descended DNA testing groups on Facebook and an overwhelming number of results come up with Igbo DNA (some as high as 70% Igbo) and Yoruba comes up once in a while (again, confirming the number breakdown posted previously). Do not confuse all Ifa adherents in Brazil and Cuba as Yorubas, because, genetically, they are not. A good number have Congolese and Angolan DNA in them.

It is very easy to make emotional-based claims but DNA testing results have consistently shown a different story.

In SW Nigeria today, due to the high rate of inter-tribal marriages, a substantial number of Yorubas have 50% Igbo blood to as high as 75% or 80% Igbo blood (those with Igbo mothers and Igbo paternal grandparents), despite being 'Yoruba by name'. Yoruba by name, Igbo by DNA.

So we should allow poor Northern beggars to wander our land because Igbo people run legitimate businesses in the North.

How about equity. We run businesses in their land, they do the same in Igboland. If either group is unable to take care of themselves, they should be put on a bus and sent back to their next of kin.

cjrane:

[s]Crap!

There are millions of Fulani youths already in Igboland and transacting their businesses. Nobody is asking those to leave.

There is currently a national lockdown due to Coronavirus that even the President asked everyone to remain in their state for now. Why is Kano claiming to deport Almajiri, only to send truck loads of people down south during this lock down era? Now that businesses are closed, what work will they be doing in the south?

Meanwhile, why can't they live in the towns and cities instead of living in the forests and people's farmlands?

ONLY A F00L WILL MISS YOUR EVIL PLAN OF A BUILDUP OF YOUR MILITIA IN OUR FORESTS!

You can chase the Igbos in the north away for all we care. We shall also respond by chasing all the northerners already in Onitsha,Asaba, Ugwu Oba, Abakaliki, Okigwe, Umuahia, Port Harcourt, Aba and Owerri away. Nobody is perturbed by your threat. If you can't obey the president's order on non-movement to curtail the spread of COVID-19, then do your worst and expect our retaliation.
