You opened your eyes and welcomed violence and death into your very own peaceful region.
Your sons went about killing and maiming security agents, and you cheered, even hailed them swearing that they will never harm Innocents.
Y'all forgot that violence begets violence... He that sows to the wind shall reap the whirlwind.
You sowed the seeds of violence in your peaceful states out of spite for Buhari... Now, who is suffering and lamenting?!! Such a shame!!!
And what was the security men doing before the killing started? Were they not the ones aiding the herdsmen destroying lands, raping women, etc? You also forgot to mention that the killing started immediately the Igbos stood their ground against the terrorist herdsmen. Keep denying reality.
Angelfrost: No Igbo man will kill his fellow Igbo man....
What do you gain by deceiving yourself this early morning?!!
Igbos are even safer in Kaduna, Lagos, Rivers, etc, than in their very own region... Don't take my word for it, ask around!!!
Mtchewwww!!!
Igbos are even safer in Kaduna, Lagos, Rivers, etc,
Don't say what you are not sure about, igboland may be under seige at the moment by Abj sponsored criminals, but compering it to those places you just mentioned is ridiculous.
NGpatriot: It is you who can not live without Nigeria.
If you want out of Nigeria, then stop going to other parts of Nigeria, you should all pack your and return to your biafraNISTAN, your federal officials from minister to reps, senators, ministers and agency directors must resign from the Nigerian government and table your referendum to leave Nigeria.
Your wealth is outside iboland and the owners of that wealth are never going to transfer that wealth to ibo land, they'll never subject themselves to lunatic and terrorists rule where they slaughter their own ibo people.
This December, tens of thousands of ibo people outside iboland and abroad won't be heading to ibo land for Christmas because of the blood-letting, bloodshed and lunatic sit at home nonsense.
Referendum is not rocket science, there are well-defined and easy procedures and steps to follow and terrorists activities, killing, slaughtering and beheading people or even burning and destroying your economy are not part of it.
Right now, you are nothing but killers and jihadi terrorists.
"This December, tens of thousands of ibo people outside iboland and abroad won't be heading to ibo land for Christmas because of the blood-letting, bloodshed and lunatic sit at home nonsense."
Thanks to your agile terror-infitrated security team.
OminickConcept: Two wrongs can't make a right. Why not leave those who took such lives to carry it on their heads than kill other innocent people for what they might not be involved in. Going after those you know and are sure killed people is better than just killing innocent people that did nothing all because they wore a uniform.
Two wrongs doesn't make right? Guy u read too much
Sunday2021: I was expecting this! Since the governor said that he is not in support of ipob and that Ebonyi will not join others in Biafra because the igbos are marginalizing Ebonyi people,. The first thing I thought is that ipob will attack ebonyi. If you could recalled, ipob wanted to enter Ebonyi the people rejected, then ipob when and plan come back and killed 25 people , then the media wing rushed to social media and posted that fulani herdsmen killed 25 people in Ebonyi. I believe the useless ipob terrorists will start blaming DSS and fulani men on this.
My friend shut up. Ode! Keep doing the work of your 30k payee. Blood sucking clan from hell!
Shey u know say u no get sense. Your Abuja-based politicians are busy sponsoring killings in someone else's land, and you have the nerve to vomit rubbish. Una get mind aswear!
Timmi: Nothing stopped them from organizing a referendum. Let their members in the National Assembly propose and move a bill for it. They will be supported to go.
There have, on two occasions, and it was followed responded with threats.
Timmi: No, always read contextually to understand. The Igbos/IPOBs wants a new nation of their own. Hence, they are free to go to their five enclave States and form a Banana or Biafra or whatever name they choose republic. Igbo Kwedu.
Your opinion shaa...but I'm of the opinion that the nation will do just fine, afterall, there smaller European nations doing fantastical well.
Ushman333: He paraded ipob militias, Kanu is a nobody, he has achieved nothing, just a boy of uwazirike brainwashing poor Igbo youths like you. He deserves death for the lives ipob have taken. The innocent blood ipob took will ensure Kanu dies in jail.
First, ipob is no militia, hence the full meaning of the acronym which are doubtb you know. Secondly, I don't need to be brainwashed to support IPOB's activities which has been always peaceful and coordinated BTW...I have seen the atrocities of the Nigerian jihadist military first hand.
I saw the killings in NK's House myself, I saw the pics of how they shot and burnt the PA to IPOB lawyer Brr. Ejofor, etc which I also doubt you have come across. All you people do here is to read trash reports from the politically sponsored Nigerian media. I don't need to be brainwashed to know the truth about my environment.
You are still a baby to know what's going on in this country, but I know one day, it 'must' surely get you. Mark my words.
A lady who was seen in a video giving blowj*bs at a club has apologized to her parents after it went viral.
The Ghanaian lady was seen in the video giving patrons blowj*bs at a nightclub situated somewhere in Kasoa Ghana.
She has however now apologized to her parents over what played out at the nightclub. According to her, she never anticipated the video would go viral and had no ill intention of hurting their feelings.
Ushman333: Kanu has been abusing the President, abusing Nigeria, threatening to destroy it, still leading Ipobians on illegal marches, confronting security operatives, in other words confronting the state, no government will tolerate it, even Nigerians were complaining of the excesses of Kanu and ipob before the president had to intervene. You can't create a nation in a nation, Kanu was parading ipob militias and security arms, all these led to the crackdown, even Shiites were cracked down when they confronted the Nigerian armed forces. Nothing peculiar about the ibos or their case. Kanu brought death and anguish to his family and igbos by towing the secessionists path violently. Read history, no government authority will let you cede, just cos you and your group says so, they are procedures.
Every secessional movement starts with an agitation, and every agitation has a leader. I should actually be the one to refer you back to history, the old Solvet Union: all started with and agitation, Scotland requested for secession and England walked towards it, same with Catelonia (though not completely sovereign), same with Iceland, Western Australia, Cambodia, Mongolia, etc...there might be resistance to the idea at the first place, but even the UN charter recommends a referendum for countries that wish to cede.

That's not true. IPOB never fired a shot before the creation of ESN, unless you are reading some newspaper propaganda. And why won't be insult the president when the so called president is giving him a reason to do so. BTW...which democratic law says "kill anyone that criticise the president?" Is Buhari more powerful than Trump? Was he more influencial than GEJ who were grossly insulted like school pupils? How many people did they kill or talken as political prosioners?
Bnladan: But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.
After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe
Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.
For those in doubt, here is a link of one of the numerous instances in which Nnamdi Azikiwe fought against the secession clause proposal for the future Nigeria constitution.
It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.
Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university graduate is the Binis). As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are some quotes:
"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Nnamdi Azikiwe (1945).
"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma. (1949). Anascopeterson: As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the Southern Protectorate. Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in Nigeria. With that situation the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand in any democratic bargain.
But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these areas should fall in the future Eastern Region. But against common sense, the colonial masters decided to gerrymander them into the Northern Region. While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by landmass.
While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo for his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist. A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy chasing rats in a far away land. When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that frustrated the attempts. Here is how:
In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address. But when the D-day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard. Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government. However, the British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for treasonable felony. Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance.
On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.
Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint". After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC, and moved over to Awolowo's Action Group.
The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo army officers. That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years.
Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day. In addition to the killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every region except their Eastern Region.
In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heroes. This was actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. On the 23rd of February 1966 (i.e. a month and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup, an Ijaw born Army officer called Isaac Adaka Boro who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, declared the secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people from the monumental marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region. But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to the military high command under him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal.
Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his previous rank.
Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria and without consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic for which he fought against him and killed his soldiers. Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession declaration 15 months earlier. Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of Biafra. But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But from the facts as above, who really betrayed the other in all honesty? Be the judge. Why Gowon fought against Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra was as follows:
After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging. Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession, he was reminded of the Anti-secession Decree made by him and his brother Ironsi.
Deadly Truth: Igbos frequently reference Aburi Accord to create the impression that the rest of Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.
First and foremost Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle. Secondly, those civil servants and military men in attendance were not elected by their federal constituencies to the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy the only universally acceptable way of making laws is through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi the peoples' representatives duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process. Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the people? Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. Aburi Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have been allowed to stand.
Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the Independence constitutional conference. Those representatives all resolved and agreed on federalism marked by regional autonomy and resource control in the Independence Constitution which they brought back home and everyone accepted it.
In that constitution, Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power. It was also clearly stated in it that ammendments to it could be done by only democratically elected representatives.
That constitution was the first ever agreement between all Nigerians. On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence constitution regardless of the circumstances that may later arise. But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees, and ended up dismantling the federalism and resource control therein, and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. That was the height of Irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement. That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements.
So Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence constitution agreement. Anascopeterson: Obasanjo removed history from the school curriculum hence the reason why many of what we know of the eventualities in Biafra war were altered to suite their narratives.
Anytime i hear or watch NNAMDI KANU talk i never take it serious but only as a noisemaker.
Thank God for this author. The Lord will bless him for us all! Everyone needs to know this for real. Knowing the truth sets free. We need healing as a Nation. We need to face facts, admit the stupid errors of history and eventual forgive ourselves for the sins, enormous sins committed by our forefathers. Love covers a multitude of sins.
Thanks for the enlightened piece, but you didn't mention how many Hausas, or Yorubas were killed, raped, lands snatched during this era of Igbo domination headed by Nnamdi Azikwe. You didn't also say the actual reason for the first coup, cos it wasn't really a coup like they made use to understand, it was more of a revolution. You also forgot to mention that Finance Minister Festus Okotie-Eboh, PC Akpan Anduka, and Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe were victims of the coup. I can't start detailing the facts here, but please don't just read history, study them. What you just wrote was an except of what they want to hear. And mind you, Zik is not a hero in the East, the people despise him till date for being and advocate of one Nigeria and a British puppet.
It is very true that Ojukwu is arrogant in nature, but he did tried to are amends, more reason Niger Deltan chiefs were invited during the pre war consultations. As a matter of fact, a Bayelsan chief suggested the name BIAFRA, in recognition to the old pre colonial civil order.
Ushman333: Nnamdi Kanu was supposed to tow the referendum path, but he chose the violent path. Federal government won't bow down to a rat like Kanu, it's not about loving ibos too much, it's principles. Federal government will look weak to acede to the whims and caprice of a small rat like Kanu, who came up via disloyalty. Kanu has no rep. You people need a better leader.
The violence part started when armless protesters were continuously killed, and herdsmen killing, rapping, and destroying farms in the East. It is on record, Buhari drew the first sword, and you don't expect a people like the Igbos to fold their arms and watch their brothers being massacred. BTW...what was Kanu's parent's offense that made the soldiers manhandled them upto a point they suffered the injuries till death?
What was NK's in law's offence that the soldiers had to shoot him on sight without an arrest, right inside his car? What was NK's lawyer's offence that they invaded his house twice killing and burning his PA in his car.
The second time they came to his house, people were shot, and bodies taken by the army, which country's military even does that? Do even need to mention the over 40 (women and children included) people killed at NK's residence when the army invaded. No man will be meted with such injustice and not want to take to arm. It is foolish not to.
Unless we have choose to ignore reality, it can be proven beyond reasonable doubt that the federal government are the ones acting like the terrorists here and not IPOB.
The last I checked, 7 northern terrorist sponsors pigs were sentenced in the UAE just this week, and all IPOB rallies had police escorts. Can you say the same about your almajiri terror-riddened clan?
Ushman333: Abaribe must be removed as a senator of the republic and arrested, by supporting and funding IPOB a designated terrorists group, he is a traitor to Nigeria, let him go be a senator in ipob republic, stupid fool. You are elected by igbos whose life is being snuffed by Kanu and his ipob killers. Is Kanu's life more important than the thousands of people, including women and children ipob has killed?
Kanu and ipob released killers and criminals on his own people and you fool are supporting him cos of fear. Weak scared fool.
Why is it so hard to organise a referendum. Why is so hard? Cos I don't get it. I you hate a people, yet you can't do without them.
Timmi: Mr Sergio, they are the one holding themselves back. Is anyone stopping them from moving to their southeastern states? Have you seen any Igbo been stopped from packing and leaving for their IPOBs states? The truth of the matter is that Nigerians don’t want them and don’t need them.
So...your idea of creating a new nation is going back to one's geographical location? Lol...nawab for you oo
Timmi: Good for the Igbos/IPOBs. They need to increase it to 100 so that each of their mushroom kingdoms can have a separatist movement. All we know is that Nigerians don’t need nor want them.
Exactly, they don't need them. I still wonder why it is soo...difficult to organise a referendum and let this irrelevant noise makers go to their dot nation.
TheDemola: There is a video circulating online about a lady bragging to her ex-boyfriend after sleeping with his father. Apparently the ex-boyfriend jilted the lady and in retaliation, the lady slept with his father as pay back. What's the world turning to?
Seriously, who is giving birth to all these female morons in the society? Who is raising these idiots?! father and son bleeped you, and you turn around to mock the son. For what exactly? For passing over the slot he has bleeped to the father to have a taste? Tufiakwa!
I have been round the world, and I can bet I have never seen such a useless female specie like a Nigerian gal. Very hopeless set of people, only 1% can be exonerated, other are just moni moni moni, sex sex sex...juju juju everywhere. Spits!
