The capital looks unplanned.

Why Zik sponsor military coup against his own government?
I understand why Yoruba writers keep writing trash over the coup just to keep their second fiddle alliance with the North which they got as a result of civil war.Enjoy it while it last.

If you have respect for your late mom you will respect mothers in general but I guess you were not well brought up.

If Obidients no form strong alliance with the North Tinubu will still rig them out.

Hausas have the number to stand up for themselves if their mumu don do.

I love this picture even as an Igbo Muslim.

That's just it

Does being a muslim makes you less Igbo or special Igbo?
Why so much emphasis on your region?
Igbo is Igbo for goodness sake.

If this Yeye Ikwerre man Senator John Azuta-Mbata, be Yoruba man all these Zik sons and daughters could have come to the sociial.media and start shouting.Yoruba people are betrayal. ...like say they trained them at birth to hate Yoruba people with deep passion....now the man nah Ikwerre. ...wey majority of his people had clearly identify that they are not Ibo people....I think the man could have consult with the elders and the leadership of the Ilwerre before jumping to take the position many of his people vehemently opposed to. ..some.of the Young portharciurt guys were even saying that he can come back to port Harcourt and that he should keep hiding around the Ibo region....it is ridiculous to access a position that your root is haven't accepted. ...just because of fame...

He is in house in Port Harcourt receiving guests
Do not be deceived by social media noise.

Sorry but not everyone can follow you to have such defeatist slave mentality.That's what Nigeria has always been, the prize of whoever militarily or politically defeats the other, just like in animal Kingdom. First the British came and overran everyone and made them them prize of their colonial project called Nigeria. Now some people act as if Nigeria is their property because they won the war

Everything points to the fact that this country has been a huge mistake from day one. The British should never have brought us together, they should have allowed the various ethnic groups they met in West Africa to organically create their own countries. Now the British colonial project called Nigeria has become something that has gulped millions of lives, become poverty capital of the world, become one of the top 10 most insecure countries on earth, and an all round failure

The present generation own its self and the future generations a duty to end this long failed British colonial contraption

When did Igbo elites realize Nigeria project was a huge mistake is it before or after the coup and civil war?
Did our people ever agitated for a separate country before independence or they fought for Nigeria independence?
If our leaders had the foresight and demanded for Eastern region to be an independent country before 1960 we woudn't be in this union today.Trying to end Nigeria by force is injurious to ndi Igbo as the rest of other tribes supports one Nigeria.

May be Certain Variety but that not dependancy .Benue Remain King in Orange and Yam .

And you think only Benue state is capable to supply the other 18 states plus Abuja all their oranges needs?

And he threw away her father's ancestry, right?. Clap for yourself.

-Kiss the truth!

Her father's people have no voting value in Nigeria so Deyi will play more on her Igbo side that is understandable.

I taught southern leaders say they Are parasites and beggars
So beggars have money to order Oranges to trade really

I depends on who you are talking to.
For me Hausas are great people.

Seyi recognised his wife as Igbo.
Kiss the truth.

You Try But Wrong it Benue
About 50 trucks of Oranges is delivered to Kano daily from Benue in return they carry Dried Frogs back

Hausa traders are always in Igbo villages buying oranges in bulk.

Hold up, why you guys bugging me?. Layla ain't contesting for Governorship like GRV. We're voting Seyi if he decided to contest and not his wife. But definitely not GRV in this lifetime.


-Kiss the truth!

No be una talk say una don ban Igbo first ladies in southwest?

And yet, someone like Murtala Mohammed who conducted an even more bloody coup that killed hundreds, is a national hero put on the N20 Naira note?

Someone like Buhari who did another bloody coup and overthrew the democratically elected government of Shehu Shagari, was elected and re-elected President?

Someone like Obasanjo, who put down a bloody coup, and became head of state, was later elected President?

Someone like Babangida who did his own coup has national awards such as GCFR and GCB?

The only time Nigerians remember that coup is bad is if it's Igbos that did it. If its Northerners that did it, it is welcome as a good thing

To the winner goes the spoils of war.All the people you mentioned are part of the victorious side so they gets the spoils of war.
Igbo soldiers shouldn't have gotten involved in over-throw of Igbo coalition government where they were well represented in government,military and civil service and moreover Eastern region was peaceful and progressing economically.If any region have reason to carry our any coup that should be the crisis ridden western region who were in opposition.Western region saw opportunity in that failed coup and capitalized on it and displaced ndi Igbo from national politics till today.

kedeojo:
If they are to claim nzoegwu, they will also claim okonjo iweala.

They should not be selective when to be Igbo and when not to be Igbo.That is just the point and my message is to 'we are Benin descendants' of Anioma people not all of them, there millons that are proud of their Igbo roots.

LagosOrigin:
Or maybe they will tell us that Seyi tinubu if Omo ale like GRV, he can't become governor of Lagos

We are watching

Lebanese wife, point of correction.

Whatever she is half Igbo.

Lets see if Ronu gang will reject Sheyi Tinubu because of his Igbo wife.

Some people may not know who Colonel Emmanuel Nwobosi is, but he was the last surviving member of the nine officers who executed Nigeria's first military coup on January 15th 1966. After the coup failed, Nwobosi was imprisoned in the East by Aguiyi-Ironsi. However, he was released by Ojukwu when he declared Biafra, promoted to Colonel, and later became Ojukwu's Chief Of Staff. Nwobosi would later fly out with Ojukwu into exile at the end of the war, made his way to Guyana where he became a Military advisor to the Guyanese government. He later moved to Canada where he lived for many years before returning to Nigeria. He retired to his hometown, Obosi, near Onitsha, and was given the title 'Ogene Obosi' by his people. Emmanuel Nwobosi died in November 2020 at the age of 81, but before then, he wrote a book called 1966: THE DARK TRUTH that was later published by his son after his death. This is what Nwobosi said in 2020 in his book about why he and others carried out the January 15th 1966 coup:-

Emmanuel Nwobosi

I am the last of the original coup planners of January 15, 1966 with Major Kaduna Nzeogwu. I knew Nzeogwu well. We went to school together. We trained at Sandhurst Military Academy, UK. We lived together. Nzeogwu was our first Head of Military Intelligence and uncovered terrible plans to wreak havoc across the country. We organised a group of progressive military officers to carry out a coup on 15th January, 1966 to stop a Jihad and bring sanity to a Nigeria steeped in nepotism, corruption and mass murders. The Government of Tafawa Balewa, controlled by the Premier of Northern Nigeria, Ahmadu Bello, were using us in the army to repress the Middle Belt and Western Nigeria. Houses and cars were burnt. Thousands were killed. All these happened between 1962- 66

There were nine of us that planned the January 15 Revolution: Majors Nzeogwu, Anuforo, Ifeajuna, Ademoyega, Chukwuka, Okafor, Onwuategwu, Obienu and myself. However, four of us started it. Major Ifeajuna and Major Ademoyega in the South; and Major Nzeogwu and myself in the North. We then united as a single revolution. I am the last of the four original revolutionaries. None published the complete truth. Only me, Colonel Nwobosi, is alive today, to tell the Final Truth, so that the lies will not triumph forever.

They used us to repress the Middle-belt and the Yorubas. When we saw genocide, we began to disobey orders and swore to stop them. For instance, Major Anuforo refused to release mass murderers caught with weapons, and was court martialled. He was replaced by Major Hassan Katsina, a Northern Muslim, willing to act. I was in Abeokuta but refused to repress Yorubas, instead I opened our barracks as a safe place for them to run to. They told many lies about the January 15 boys, to justify their genocide, but it is those of us that planned the revolution that they should have killed, not the three million innocent Biafrans that knew nothing.

For years I kept quiet, blaming myself and wondering whether at 27, I was too radical that my actions led to the deaths of millions. Today, the same evil in 1966 is being unleashed. As I watch, my sense of guilt has vanished, because we were not the evil. We were trying to stop the evil. That Evil is Radical Islamism. I have decided to speak out and warn the world of the impending disaster if we do not stop it.

Each time Radical Muslims plan a Jihad, in their religious mission to conquer the world, they will fail, but in the attempt, thousands and even millions will die. That happened to us in Biafra. At this point let me differentiate between peaceful, law-abiding Muslims and Radical Muslims who want to kill others to force their religion on them. The problem is that wherever peaceful Muslims are, there are some Radical Muslims amongst them. That is why they began a Jihad in 1966. That is why we had to stop it. That is why they killed millions of our people. That is why we declared Biafra, because we are a peaceful people and oil and water can never mix.

My story is a warning to Nigerians. For years, I was prevented from speaking the truth by exile, prison, harassment, poverty, surveillance and death threats held over many of the actors like Ojukwu, Zik, Awolowo, Ibiam and the January 15 boys that survived. But as I watch today, many of the events that led to our revolution are happening again: Boko Haram, Fulani Militia, Niger Delta Militants, Shiites, IPOB and mass murders.

Some people think we acted wrongly in carrying out the January 15 revolution, but they may not be fully aware of the realities then. We were trained by the British to be patriotic, to give the ultimate sacrifice for Nigerian and to stop anyone acting against the nation.

Instead of our leaders using us to defend Nigeria they were using us to suppress citizens. We, decided to arrest them for their atrocities because no one was willing to act. Not Zik, the President, who was powerless, not Ironsi, the Head of the Army, who was a conservative. There were many reasons why we had to act:
1. To stop the killings in Yoruba land and the Middle Belt by NPC the ruling Party;
2. To stop the invasion of Yorubaland on 17th January, 1966;
3. To correct the massive rigging of the 1964 elections;
4. To free Awolowo from Prison and make him the Prime Minister;
5. To stop the terrible corruption, nepotism and regionalism of the NPC, the Ruling Party;
6. To stop Ahmadu Bello’s planned Jihad.

It was good that we acted to save the Yoruba and the Middle Belt people, and we thought that was enough to stop the Jihad. We could not foresee that they would massively attack innocent Igbos. Blame those who decided to massacre our people for their evil.

All of them that participated in that bloody misadventure that over threw an Igbo coaliton government which Igbo political opponents continue to use against the Igbo nation till today.That coup was an anti Igbo coup from very aspect.The Yoruba people benefited from that coup more than any other ethnic while ndi Igbo lost everything as a result of that coup.

Before this year ends I know say Tinubu go borrow money from BRICS

Southeast political leadership Nnamdi Kanu wanted to destroy by brain washing,manipulating,indoctrinating and inciting the youths against the government and leadership in SE are reluctant in working for the release of the man who have radicalized the youths and turn them into a killing machine in SE.
The most important aspect of this case is that Nnamdi Kanu want to come out of DSS cage on his own terms, he and his lawyers want to defeat FG in their own courts and win an unconditional release that is the reason for his prolonged incarceration.

Yes o ndi Igbo Lagos should start supporting Tinubu's candidate in Lagos even go into alliance with him let him and his family rule Lagos forever.

Okay

Anioma is not aspiring to join the southeast. We want a state of our own simple.

Then stop involving SE in your state creation agitation let me see how SS will get a 7th state.
You do not know the idea behind merging of Anioma state with SE came from Anioma people themselves.. .
