Any books on the topic or primary sources u can point to. I'll go fact check the membership later. I just find this hard to believe considering the Soviets didn't assist their fellow Marxist during the war when they did pour resources into other countries in Africa like Angola.

Rothschild controlled the Soviet govt since the Russian Revolution.


90% of all top Soviet Communist members and Commissars where Jews.

These same Jews who not only controlled the security and power apparatus in the Soviet Union but dominated every aspect of industry accounted for the highest immigrants to Israel when that illegal state was formed in 1948.

Rothschild loves dictatorships. This has been the only way Jews can immerse themselves at the corridor of power.

From ancient Egypt to Persia, Assyria, Rome and in present day PAX America, Jews will do anything to subvert institutions, destroy the powerful middle class and act as whisperers to the King's ear.

Marxism can only thrive under tyranny and dictatorship. And the biggest beneficiary of Marxism is the Bankers who bankrolled them into power.

With COR region out of Eastern Nigeria, there was no way Rothschild would have been able to gain control of the oil there because Igbos were the only ones he radicalized and converted to MARXISM.

EILTD:
And yet the Soviet did not assist their fellow Marxist during the war. So how come the Soviet assisted the Nigerian government instead of the Igbo Marxist according to Tissia and Bishopmagic her conspiracy theory boyfriend.

Yeah it's a questionable idea to say the least that's why I'm pressing on getting the primary sources or books he read. I'm very interested to read about this topic. It would be a seldom discussed topic if its true that I'd gladly make thread on. I've already done on on why Israel supported biafra them switched alliances during the war. Lol I actually cited the sources of my information incase anyone want to check for themselves.

Why do you Igbos like to lie like this.

The IGBO Marxist Coup was staged for one purpose only:

To prevent the creation of COR region out of the defunct Eastern Region out of greed towards controlling the newly discovered oil wells.

To prevent COR being removed out of old Eastern region, Igbos staged a coup (backed by ZIk and teleguided by Victor Rothschild) to dismantle the regional assembly and usher in a powerful centrist Igbo dictatorship.

Can you deny Decree 34 and the Igbotic nature of the Ironsi Military dictatorship?

If anything, Decree 34 was a facsimile of Zik's radical MARXIST ambitions for Nigeria under a powerful centrist govt with Igbos solely in power.

YOU WERE NO VICTIMS.

Your linear thought process in thinking that this misadventure is akin to your petty trading is what pushed you into this foolish ploy.

Ask yourself why only Ojukwu as Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria welcomed Decree 4 but every other Military governor opposed it?

Why then did Ojukwu change his mind on Decree 4 in July of that same year after Ironsi was assassinated and deposed?

Why did the Igbos without consultation decide to drag the already Igbo weary minorities into their Biafra?

Can you also tell me what reasons western Cameroun adduced for wanting to leave Nigeria in 1959? Let me answer this for you: IT WAS BECAUSE THEY HAD GROWN TIRED OF IGBO MARGINALIZATION OF THE SO-CALLED MINORITIES IN THE OLD EASTERN REGION.

You idiots should stop twisting history and stop stupidly trying to dismiss the Marxist Igbo coup of Jan 15 as a non-Igbo affair because it sure damn was.

It's on Record Ironsi was not a dictator if he was anything its clueless and unpleasantly aloof.
Also Ironsi decree 34 didn't change the status quo pre-coup..

Show me where ojukwu supported decree 34 and others were against it, I've never read that anywhere before.
There was no talk about the creation of COR before the coup, read up the timeline properly


It was Insurgency in the western region and Obafemi and Akintola war
The Coup
The revenge coup
The creation of COR and Killing of Eastern Region Tribrs
Aburi accord
The war


Pre coup and even before the war some of the groups termed ethnic minority were part of the Ibo federal union, so reasonably no one was against the formation of COR, and some of the ethnic minorities backed Ojukwu move even the non-Igboid one's you'll know that if you check out what made the defunct Biafra Republic
Of course Gowon wanted to carve out the minorities, but that wasn't the only factor playing out, all tribes from the Eastern Region were being targeted and killed outside the Eastern Region..

If I'm wrong correct me civilly, I don't respond to discourteous remarks...
I'm willing to learn..

Oil, Politics and Violence: Nigeria's Military Coup Culture 1966-1976 by Max Siollun

Although the author offers a sympathetic and biased version of the motivation behind the coup and justifies the makeup as being due to the fact that majority of the officers in the army where Igbos, he however holds the view that the coup plotters where deluded Marxists acting out their radicalism.

He also states in this same book how Ibadan was a radicalization hotbed for the likes of Ifenjuna and also how Ojukwu was a card carrying member of the British communist party while in Oxford.

Ok thank you I'll try an see if its available at my local library.

Also do a research on Zikist Movement that was spearheaded by ZIk himself.

This was the first Marxist movement in NIgeria and ZIK whom some erroneously identify firstly as a journalist was more active in the organized trade unions especially among the Coal miners Union in Enugu.

It is from this early Marxist Movement in 1945 that Zik catapulted himself into limelight.

And also know that Decree 34 was signed secretly by Ironsi the very next day after the coup of Jan 15 but wasn't announced to the public until 3mths later!

That Decree had all the hallmarks of Zik written all over it and was meant to forcefully keep Nigeria one under Igbo domination.

Wasn't it Zik that said the Igbos are like termites fleeing their red ant-hills to conquer and occupy other parts of Nigeria?

Has anything changed since? Do the Igbos not run away from their burial ground region to seek sustenance from other regions in Nigeria?

Read ur history very well.....zik was in Nigeria when they came for him fortunately he outsmarted them.... Micheal okpara fled after knowing about the coup...

If you had read any history, you wouldn't have typed this. Zik left Nigeria several weeks before the coup, he was well aware of it and was hoping to become the head of government after the coup.
He went for medical checkup and after the medical checkup refused to come back home, instead he went to stay in Brazil till the coup was executed.
After the coup, he wrote a letter to ironsi subtly asking to be reinstated

On assumption of power, General Aguiyi-Ironsi promulgated the Constitution (Suspension and Modification) Decree 1966. Decree No 1 dated January 17, 1966 but not published in the Official Gazette until March 4, 1966.

Of all the decrees enacted in Nigeria, none is more controversial than Decree No 34 of 1966. It was promulgated on May 24, 1966 by then Head of State, Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi (1924-1966) . It was called Unification Decree while some critics at that time labelled it the De-unification Decree.

It was the decree that started the death of regionalism – an issue which is still generating controversy till now. Although the next head of State General Yakubu Gowon repealed the Decree 34 on August 31, 1966 through Decree 9, a large portion of the Decree is still effective till today.

On assumption of power, General Aguiyi-Ironsi promulgated the Constitution (Suspension and Modification) Decree 1966. Decree No 1 dated January 17, 1966 but not published in the Official Gazette until March 4, 1966. He then issued Public Order Decree No 33 dated May 24 1966 which dissolved eighty-one political associations and twenty-six tribal and cultural associations.

At the early stage of his tenure, he appointed a three-man advisory team made up of Chief Francis Nwokedi, a Permanent Secretary, Dr. Pius Charles Nwabafor Okigbo (1924-2000) and Colonel Patrick Anwunah, who later became Chairman and Head of the Orientation Committee at that time. He replaced the then Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Taslim Olawale Elias (1914-1991) with Chief Gabriel Chike Michael Onyiuke (SAN), former Director, Public Prosecution, Eastern Nigeria (1960-1965) from Nimo in the present Anambra state.

In a speech to the nation on January 28 1966, he denounced the evils of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa regime and outlined necessary reforms. ”All Nigerians”, he declared,” want an end to regionalism. Tribal loyalties and activities which promote tribal consciousness and sectional interests must give way to the urgent task of national reconstruction. The Federal Military Government will preserve Nigeria as one strong nation.” He then went on to promise “administrative reforms” and referred specifically to several matters in which regional as well as personal interests were known to have had decisive influence. These were official appointments, public investments, and the universities. He promised that in the public services, efficiency and merit will be the criteria for advancement”. That industrial development would be “coordinated to avoid wasteful duplication of industrial projects”, and that the universities would be “re-orientated to serve the genuine interest of our people.”

Immediately after the speech two Governors kicked against the proposal. They were, Major General David Akpode Ejoor from Ovu in the present Delta State, then serving as the Military Governor of the Mid-Western region and Major General Hassan Usman Katsina(1933-1995), who was then serving as Governor of the Northern region.

Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu (1933-2011), Military Governor of Eastern Region welcomed the decree while Lt. Col. Francis Adekunle Fajuyi (1926-1966), Military Governor of Western Region never commented on the promulgation of the decree.

Lt-Col Ejoor was reported as saying that the ’National Government’ set up by the army was the prelude to ‘the reintroduction of a unitary form of government’ and insisted that it would create future problems. Shortly afterwards, the Supreme Military Council announced that a senior government official, Mr. Nwokedi, had been asked to consider and to report to the Supreme Military Council on the establishment of ‘an administrative machinery for a united Nigeria’ and the ‘unification of the Public Services and Judicial Services.’


In his own speech on February 19 at the Kaduna Airport, the Governor of Northern region, Lt-Col. Hassan Katsina said he was not aware as a member of the then Supreme Military Council of the modalities for the proposed National Government. ”I am afraid the egg is about to be broken”.

On February 21 1966, General Aguiyi-Ironsi again addressed the nation on the issue. He said: “On the question of the political future of the country, the experiences and mistakes of the previous governments in the Federation have clearly indicated that far-reaching constitutional reforms are badly needed for peaceful and orderly progress towards the realization of our objectives. I have already touched on some of the major issues involved in recent broadcast to the nation. It has become apparent to all Nigerians that rigid adherence to ‘regionalism’, was the bane of the last regime and one of the main factors which contributed to its downfall. No doubt, the country would welcome a clean break with the deficiencies of the system of government to which the country has been subjected in the recent past. A solution suitable to our national needs must be found. The existing boundaries of governmental control will need to be re-adjusted to make for less cumbersome administration.’

As a follow-up on May 25, General Aguiyi-Ironsi promulgated the Constitution (Suspension and Modification)(No. 5) Decree 1966. Decree No. 34 (the ‘Unification Decree’).

After the promulgation, the country was thrown into turmoil which led to demonstration particularly in many parts of Northern Nigeria at that time. On his return to Kaduna on May 27, Col. Hassan Katsina was besieged with demands for an explanation. It was feared that in a unified service, Northerners would be at a disadvantage. It was no consolation that the Decree provided for the delegation of appointments and promotions, except the most senior, to Provincial Civil Service Commissions.

With its authority challenged and shown to be weak, at least in large parts of the North, the National Military Government had little option but to proffer its assurances and to explain its actions. The Supreme Military Council met on 7 and 8 June 1966 and issued the following statement:

“The public must not be led to confuse the Military Government with government by a civilian regime under a constitution approved by the people. Nobody will expect the present Military Government to cease to function until new constitution has been approved or to be compelled to operate the old system of government with its obvious weakness. It cannot be too seriously emphasized that the Military Government while in office can only run the government as a military government under a unified command. It cannot afford to run five separate governments and separate services as if it were a civilian regime. Final decisions on the territorial structure of the country and the public services will be matters for the Constituent Assembly and the referendum.”

BigSarah:

Now you can see how Ojukwu welcomed Unification decree under Ironsi while every other Military governors kicked against it.

Can you tell me why Ojukwu was demanding for a return to true federalism in Aburi less than a year later?

Was it because the Igbos had lost power at the centre?

Your foolishness is what we are suffering in the south today and from all indications with this your Marxism on full blast with your IPOB Zionist nonsense we are expecting a repeat of another round of Igbo stupidity, greed and betrayal.

But we will remind you who is the slave race in Nigeria,

EILTD:
And yet the Soviet did not assist their fellow Marxist during the war. So how come the Soviet assisted the Nigerian government instead of the Igbo Marxist according to Tissia and Bishopmagic her conspiracy theory boyfriend.

The Igbo officers were useful idiots in the scheme of things. They had ushered in the centrist govt and that was all that mattered.

See this post for more.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
You sacrificed 3 million of your own for a Jew to get his hands on the oil .

He told you that if you seize power and dismantle the regional arrangement and usher in an Igbo centrist Marxist state, he will share the loot with you.

This sounded like good business to you and your greed made you rush to do his biddings

Now you thought ''I can do this. After all we are the most educated and have control of the civil service and the Military Officer corps.''

You never thought to sit down and reason things out and see that in this geographical region you call Nigeria, you remain the most naive bush educated idiots roaming around in winter suits that you bought in London when you were sent to learn Marxism under the guise of an education.

You did what you were told to do and everything was fine and now you had Nigeria under your palms.

But they never told you that seizing power and holding on to it were two different things entirely something you hinterland dwelling Congoids had no history or pedigree of doing in your pathetic primitive history.

Less than 6mths after, the Fulani struck (and boy did they strike).

But Rothschild was only interested in the Marxist state and not who controlled it.

Since you couldn't and the Fulani could, the Baron quickly switched to the Fulani.

But you were insistent on grabbing the oil wells for yourselves and dissapointed that the Baron had turned his back on you.

''It's nothing personal, just business''. These were the curt words used by the Baron on your Ojukwu but he still felt he could pull this off and get the Baron to bend to him.

Then war it is.

No one likes a good war than the Rothschilds.

They made their wealth financing both sides in a double-chance game. No draws here. Some one must win and some one must lose but the most important thing is someone will pay for the war.

And so foolishly you entered another misadventure and went on a war.

The rest is history.

You can accept the truth or continue living in denial of your collective gross stupidity.

A Jew, not just any Jew, the uncrowned King of Israel, led you to slaughter.

Fools

Nothing has changed and you igbo goats have not seen why you were rightly rejected by the so-called minorities in the defunct SE.

Because of Igbo arrogance and domineering tribalism, western cameroun opted to leave Nigeria all together.

Have you forgotten how Igbo arrogance saw to Eyo Ette being forced to resign his post so that the deflated and rejected Zik could get a position in the eastern house after Awo staged a cross carpet move to deny the NCNC leadership at both the western and federal house?

When the so-called minorities wanted their own region separate from you just as the then Mid West was carved out from the defunct western region what did you Igbos do at the eastern assembly ? Block any call for referrendum among the minorities which forced them to take their aggitation to the federal Parliament which both the north and western region were in full support to grant. So what did you fools do to prevent COR region from being carved out from the eastern region? You staged a coup that saw the assassination and removal of the then PM and the two premiers of both the north and western region. You then imposed an Igbo general on the polity who passed decree 34 that saw to the forces unification decree and abolition of regional governance . All this because your greed to control the newly discovered oil reserves in the COR region.

When I tell you judases that you are a million times worse than the Fulani north and Yaribanza for being the bloody hypocrites who ushered in the zoo republic you are all complaining of because you lost out from the power play.

Now let's move forward.

After destroying regional assembly and consiladating all power in the hands of an Igbo military dictatorship composed mainly of Igbos, the so-called minorities in the eastern region under Isaac Boro decided it was better to leave Nigeria all together than live under Igbo oppression which they had first hand knowledge of. What did you Jew rats do? Send a military force commanded by Ojukwu to squash the rebellion.

When the north displaced you in a dog eat dog retalaitory coup one would have thought you will accept your fate and lick your wounds quietly but No! What did you do again? You decided to leave the same Nigeria you wanted to preserve via military decree 34 which your Ojukwu welcomed when Ironsi annonced it to the world.

Now nobody would have been bothered if you took your current 5 contigious Igbotic states and left for good but your greed for Niger Delta oil will push you to forefully annex same Niger Delta you prevented from leaving the shithole eastern region and for some daft reason expected their loyalty and support?

50 yrs after the end of the civil war you fools are yet to see your mistake and continue in your annexation plan of the Niger Delta while ridulcing the good people of the region.

Do you see why the average Niger Delta man will never ever want nothing to do with you?

I challenge you to declare an independent iIgbo nation within your 5 blighted states and see if any one will be bothered .

Yeye.

Nathaniel Mayer Victor Rothschild served as a key adviser to the Thatcher Govt.

The same Thatcher who never batted an eyelid when Buhari came around the first time with his foolishness and overthrew the democratically elected civilian govt of Shehu Shagari.

As an MI6 major player, Rothschild (being a Jew with dual Israeli citizenship) was able to get Mossad to arrange a delivery to Buhari in the form of Umaru Dikko.

Only God knows what Buhari had agreed to pay Rothschild to get Umaru.

And just like back then, same Mossad was used to kidnap and extradite your Rabbi Kanustein back to Nijeriya.

Could this be because of the recent Israeli-Sunni alliance which the State of Israel arranged Kanu to be used as a deal breaker with Buhari ?

I am not in any way defending the north or holding brief for them.

I am only telling you that it was you Igbos that handed the template of one NIjeriya to the Fulani.

If you like you can deny what was written about Ojukwu but the fact remains that Ojukwu would have accepted Ironsi's coup without even skipping a heartbeat if he got the northern mutineers to follow military hierarchy in Ironsi's replacement.

The only reason Ojukwu declared Biafra was because he did not want to take orders from Gowon and felt that sooner or later he would be ousted out of the picture.

This is the pure unadulterated fact on why Ojukwu declared biafra - greed for ND oil and ego for losing out to his junior Gowon.

Now you can see how Ojukwu welcomed Unification decree under Ironsi while every other Military governors kicked against it.

Can you tell me why Ojukwu was demanding for a return to true federalism in Aburi less than a year later?

Was it because the Igbos had lost power at the centre?

Your foolishness is what we are suffering in the south today and from all indications with this your Marxism on full blast with your IPOB Zionist nonsense we are expecting a repeat of another round of Igbo stupidity, greed and betrayal.

But we will remind you who is the slave race in Nigeria,

All part of the south have held the power to change whatever you claim Igbos did? But why haven't they?
Is it because they know who truly made such decree?
Igbos haven't held any power In over 50 years so how come those who kicked against,, this stuff you claim Igbos did haven't repealed it?,%
For over 50 years

BigSarah:


Aguiyi didn't bring about any unification decree, if that was the same decree you claim Ojukwu supported
What was point Of Aburi,??

Gowon is what you should say...

Ojukwu lost out and that is why he wanted a return to Regional assembly so as to control the oil wells from Enugu.

There's nothing like an Igbo coup or any of the nonsense people use to justify barbarism.
The coup plotter head officers were not solely of igbo stock to start with,is ademoyega an igbo man?
Btw the end point of the coup was to Install Chief Obafemi Awolowo as head of state,is Awolowo now an Igbo man,since it's an "Igbo coup"? Ironsi was also targeted by the coup plotters but he outsmarted them,some where even afraid of him,when did Nzeogwu make ant statement to spare the igbos? Did his bobdy language show such,infact the so called "Igbo coup" was stopped by an Igbo man.
The fear of Igbo domination usually called "Igbophobia" has been there in Nigeria even before any coup was thought of,talk of Amadu Bello's known speech.They only use the term "Igbo coup" to justify the Igbo pogroms that claimed thousands of life's in the north in 1966. Ironsi's unfortunate attitude for dealing Justice to the coup plotters,escalated the situation any ways. After the counter coup killing Ironsi and killing over 300 Igbo soldiers,what can justify the thousand Igbo pogrom deaths in the north that refused to cease?

I am not in any way defending the north or holding brief for them.

I am only telling you that it was you Igbos that handed the template of one NIjeriya to the Fulani.

If you like you can deny what was written about Ojukwu but the fact remains that Ojukwu would have accepted Ironsi's coup without even skipping a heartbeat if he got the northern mutineers to follow military hierarchy in Ironsi's replacement.

The only reason Ojukwu declared Biafra was because he did not want to take orders from Gowon and felt that sooner or later he would be ousted out of the picture.

This is the pure unadulterated fact on why Ojukwu declared biafra - greed for ND oil and ego for losing out to his junior Gowon.

And that foolishness cost us our oil wells and our environment as we lost sovereignty of our resources but at least we did not lose 3 million biastards for a senseless ego tripping Oxford trained communist son of a billioniare.

Whatever blame you want on Ironsi accepted except the lie that he Unified Nigeria no, because if he did what is Aburi for..
Makes no sense

Ojukwu never wanted Gowon to lead yes because a major from the west was next in line..
But when he saw the western major wasn't interested he gave up and wanted Aburi...
And it wasn't over Oil, massacres were going on..

Nothing has changed and you igbo goats have not seen why you were rightly rejected by the so-called minorities in the defunct SE.

Because of Igbo arrogance and domineering tribalism, western cameroun opted to leave Nigeria all together.

Have you forgotten how Igbo arrogance saw to Eyo Ette being forced to resign his post so that the deflated and rejected Zik could get a position in the eastern house after Awo staged a cross carpet move to deny the NCNC leadership at both the western and federal house?

When the so-called minorities wanted their own region separate from you just as the then Mid West was carved out from the defunct western region what did you Igbos do at the eastern assembly ? Block any call for referrendum among the minorities which forced them to take their aggitation to the federal Parliament which both the north and western region were in full support to grant. So what did you fools do to prevent COR region from being carved out from the eastern region? You staged a coup that saw the assassination and removal of the then PM and the two premiers of both the north and western region. You then imposed an Igbo general on the polity who passed decree 34 that saw to the forces unification decree and abolition of regional governance . All this because your greed to control the newly discovered oil reserves in the COR region.

When I tell you judases that you are a million times worse than the Fulani north and Yaribanza for being the bloody hypocrites who ushered in the zoo republic you are all complaining of because you lost out from the power play.

Now let's move forward.

After destroying regional assembly and consiladating all power in the hands of an Igbo military dictatorship composed mainly of Igbos, the so-called minorities in the eastern region under Isaac Boro decided it was better to leave Nigeria all together than live under Igbo oppression which they had first hand knowledge of. What did you Jew rats do? Send a military force commanded by Ojukwu to squash the rebellion.

When the north displaced you in a dog eat dog retalaitory coup one would have thought you will accept your fate and lick your wounds quietly but No! What did you do again? You decided to leave the same Nigeria you wanted to preserve via military decree 34 which your Ojukwu welcomed when Ironsi annonced it to the world.

Now nobody would have been bothered if you took your current 5 contigious Igbotic states and left for good but your greed for Niger Delta oil will push you to forefully annex same Niger Delta you prevented from leaving the shithole eastern region and for some daft reason expected their loyalty and support?

50 yrs after the end of the civil war you fools are yet to see your mistake and continue in your annexation plan of the Niger Delta while ridulcing the good people of the region.

Do you see why the average Niger Delta man will never ever want nothing to do with you?

I challenge you to declare an independent iIgbo nation within your 5 blighted states and see if any one will be bothered .

Yeye.

Now I can see you're a brainwashed ijaw man

Shaolin0147:
Now I can see you're a brainwashed ijaw man

Idiot I am no Ijaw.

Stop with your identity politics and see for a fact that Igbos are resented by the Niger Delta people universally than any other tribe in Nigeria and this stems from the period when we were together in the defunct Eastern Nigeria.

Were the Abazonians Ijaw as well when they opted to leave Nigeria to avoid your domineering disposition over the other minorities?

The pogroms that claimed thousands of Igbo life's was still taking place after the aburi accord,this made Ojukwu declare biafra, because the killings were so much on igbos,he wanted to save them in his own way,Many dead bodies of igbos arrived the east at that year 1966 to be buried.
We are talking about people loosing their life's in thousands up north,you are talking about "taking orders" and "ND oil".

You can not in any way exonerate Igbos for the foolishness they found themselves.

Who send una to go an oust the PM?

Who send una to dismantle regional govt and place yourselves as heads of govt under an Igbo dictorship?

Understably you never had any kings or traditional stools beyond your hamlet chief, was that reason enough to disolve all tribal associations and disregard tribal leaderships like the House of Chiefs in Yoruba land ?

Your gross primitive ways made you to accept Marxism without question and so you thought of forcefully unifying strangers whom your ZIk wanted to remain together after British exist.

It is no secret that the north and WEST wanted an independent state but only you Igbos craved for one NIgeria knowing fully that if a referrendum was extended on the question of who wants to remain in Nigeria every nationality would have left you to your blighted 5 leprous states.
