Lmao, i haven't laughed so hard for so long, where do you guys get these stories from? I have to admit, the fabrications are preposterous, and it's funny some people take them serious.

Sloan:
Useless maps showing lebensraum (like Hitler) when you can not even get an inch of land from the Ikweres or Anioma showing longthroat at all the other lands in Africa? 100 things about a still-born biafra, who cares, and you could not even list 5 without resorting to lies! Even living countries, states and peoples give things like this a rest because they don't need to write a lying article or thread about it: YOU KNOW! You just know if you are not dead, because it is always there! The only way biafra will ever have a chance to be an entity again is for ibos to support the calls for regionalism and follow that step up with the emergence of sovereign countries. Otherwise, Nigeria killed and buried biafra in 1970 and Philip Effiong surrendered the entire iboland as Nigeria. Ojukwu never even mentioned biafra when he returned from his exile run, I guess he came back with wisdom he never had as a 33 year old - something the OP is still missing today!

jpphilips:
Someone gave you a history that obviously you could not afford, im sure that even your parents are bereft of that knowledge else you would have learnt a little of it from home, you come online to call it half truth with zero input to the subject of discourse.
The Op asked why two similar scenarios produced different outcomes and you are telling us what started the civil war, where you asked that?

Give me two reasons why I shouldn't call you a very stup!d person?

Ooni:
take your greeting to shekau and fellow fulani herdsmen. I will have a nice Easter celebrations without the usual wishes from a cursed monster.









Btw




stop mentioning Jesus Christ

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, on Saturday, assured of his administration’s commitment to ensure peace and security across the country.
Buhari, who stated this in an Easter message to Christians, which he personally signed, said his government would ensure the end of politically motivated killings in the country.
The statement read:

[s]“Fellow Nigerians,
I rejoice with you all, especially our Christian brothers and sisters, as we celebrate Easter.
For Christians all over the world, this celebration is in commemoration of the supreme sacrifice which made for the salvation of mankind.
The Gospels also tell us that during his earthly ministry, repeatedly urged his disciples and followers to “love one another as I have loved you”.

As we celebrate Easter this year, I sincerely believe that it will serve our dear nation very well if we all imbibe this essential message of and truly learn to love our countrymen and women as we love ourselves.
Indeed, we will surely make faster progress towards the achievement of the peaceful, united, strong, progressive and prosperous country we all desire if, as a nation, we eschew all divisive, parochial, ethnic and religious sentiments and rivalries, and begin to live more harmoniously with our compatriots, as and the founders of the world’s other great religions enjoined mankind.
Our unfortunate notoriety in recent years as a country where the blood of men, women and children are wantonly and callously shed in frequent orgies of criminal, political, ethnic and religious violence has become very embarrassing and utterly unacceptable.
My administration is determined to achieve greater peace and security across our nation by ending the avoidable conflicts and crises that hinder our national progress.
I ask for greater support from all Nigerians in this regard. We must put a stop to politically motivated killings. Our communities must be made safe again for all inhabitants to live together in peace and harmony.
Our armed forces, police and other security agencies are being progressively reformed, repositioned and empowered to win the war against terrorism and make mass killings, abductions and other criminal atrocities things of the past in our beloved country.
Let us all also play our parts as patriotic citizens and do all that we can to ensure that we make Nigeria a safer, more peaceful and happier place for its people and others.
Faith, belief and the fulfilment of expectations are also key themes of the Easter celebration. I urge you all therefore, to continue to have faith in the future greatness of our country and to believe that the CHANGE my administration promised will surely come to fruition.
That CHANGE, which we all yearn for, will certainly occur more rapidly if we all place the love of our country above selfish personal and group interests.
The National Assembly has just passed the 2016 budget. I assure all Nigerians that we will do our utmost best to ensure that the budget, the first since my election as President, is efficiently and successfully implemented towards achieving our objective of faster economic growth and development.
I thank the vast majority of Nigerians for their patience and understanding in the first ten months of this administration.
As we go forward, I assure you all that we are working very hard to overcome the challenges we encountered on assumption of office.
We are moving on with an unshaken resolve and determination to deliver on the mandate you gave us on March 28, last year.
I wish you all very happy Easter celebrations.
Muhammadu Buhari
March 26, 2016 [/s]

@OP


The answer lies with political correctness.

first, it was not called an igbo coup for fun, it was called that in protest to the disproportionate assasination of the leadership at the time.
It is dishonest to say it was called an igbo coup based on the regional make up of the coup plotters that is very disingenuous of you.

people who did so at the time based their insinuations on the sparing of igbo leaders and the fact that an Igbo head of state inherited the government as a direct consequence of the coup.

Now that I presume you understand the basics, you will agree that when Aguiyi Ironsi became the head of state, his first duty will necessitate the trial of the coup plotters and serving justice for other regions who lost both political and Religious leadership (Northern region) that he never did.

It might equally interest you to note that a military court Marshall of that nature at the time takes less than 3 months yet Aguiyi Ironsi blatantly refused to do the right thing.
It took a dumb Kaduna Nzeogwu to grant an interview describing how he killed the Sardauna of Sokoto a supposed religious leader and the mockery that ensued.
That event led to his arrest yet no deadline was set for his trial and others.

That is the most bizzare political insincerity, miscalculation that completely aliegnated the igbos from the Tripartite handed to us by the British.

Let us now Juxtapose with the Murtalla Mohammed saga, he was assasinated, the next in command Olusegun Obasanjo did not wait to get a definition for the coup from the court of popular opinion rather he served his purpose as a head of state by rounding up the culprits and handed them death sentences.

That act of good faith endeared Obj to the Northerners and we saw a replay of that goodwill in 1999.
Obasanjo proved with that 1976 action that he learned from the history of the past decade, he equally proved that he is way smarter than Aguiyi Ironsi.

Rightly put, Obasanjo's ingenuity calmed would be reprisals of Murtalla 's murder.

A society without law, order, justice and rule of law easily degenerates to Anarchy.
such was the reality of the 1966 Nigeria's political space.

superstar1:
Ipod has perfected the art of deceiving their gullible people.

1. Fake passport

2. Fake airline

3. Dubious meeting with UN in June of last year.

4. AU invited them to Ethiopia.

5. Cameron, Obama, Hollande and Putin warned PMB over a war mongering lunatic.

When will you stop deceiving your own people?

HungerBAD:
False.

This man will spend the rest of his adult days in Jail. Ojukwu who is a professional Soldier, with Guns, Bombs, Soldiers and the Will even failed, and he just did not fail, but ran with his tail in between his legs to Ivory Coast.

And when he died, he was buried with the Nigerian "FLAG"

Chief Guy Ikokwu, should mind the way he uses the word "LEGEND" loosely. The Word "LEGEND" has not even been ascribed to the Greats of the Country like Isaac Adaka Boro, Obafemi Awolowo, Murtala Mohammed, let alone a Prostitute loving Albino.

albany231:
Coward hiding behind a new moniker, are you tired of your Segunadewole and Akinegba handle? Slum yet your people cant stop trooping there daily, you truly have no shame.

joborskill:
The igbo elders need to respect the culture of the north. Even though i condemn kidnapping of people, it is wrong to demand for arrest of a whole emir. They should be careful cos no one mess with the north and go scott free.

PassingShot:
What is this one saying?

PassingShot:
Oya nah. Make dem do come dey go joor.

The problem be say, dem no sabi how to achieve their desire. I pray God grant them wisdom to know how to secceed peacefully because many of us don taya with their wahala.

Abeg Biko Biafra, make una do comot for our country Nigeria.

Peace.

May it never be well with you and everything you represent if you're an Impostor, but if you're not then it shall be with you. Can I hear a loud amen? [/s]

madridguy:
You feel ashamed to be a Yoruba ? So what happened in Mile 12 should have resulted into a big fracas ? Is that your point. I shake my head for you. You are under your comfort zone and you want people to start making trouble all the name of Yoruba must not agree. What stop you from starting from the Mallam shop next to your house or in your street. My brother, no tribe have monopoly of violence as there is never a winner in war. The little fracas happened at Mile 12 has left so many families in everlasting sorrow, so many house owners will forever be tenant, and yet you're not satisfied. We Yoruba's are Omoluabi and if you're ashamed to be associated with the tribe, you can port somewhere else where killing of innocent soul is celebrated and be an Hero in killing.

DeadWrong:
You call this speaking out? You're a comedian. You should be ashamed of your coward yeeboe tribe for saying this. This is nothing but an expression of fear, paranoia and cowardice. We don't want to hear talk talk talk and lame ultimatums. while they keep raping you in ya land. Talk less, do more
Coward ipodian, be proud of ya tribe.

plaetton:
No.

I am Igbo.

So , after 102 yrs of marriage, you're still unable to pronounce my name properly ?

And you accuse me of being the UNFAITHFUL one in this relationship ?

Go figure.

It is just an accident of your history that you are pagan, christian and Muslim, not any special traits.
We have same in the North, in the middle belt, in the Midwest and to a very tiny extent in the east, except that Islamic never penetrated the East.
In other words, the East was never conquered by jihadists.

And we should be ashamed that we were not conquered by jihadists ?

Is that your point?
