Well you stated the few you can lay your hands on, the fact remains that it was much more than that. The easterners have been and will remain the live wire of this country and that is why the abokis can never ever allow them regain their freedom. I laugh at people agitating for biafra struggle because they are not yet serious if they expecting the mallams up North to give them referendum. You must be able to march them in arms for them to reason your else you are just joking. |

Buckeyemedia1:Every part of Nigeria was prosperous but the most prosperous,just like it has been since the creation of Nigeria,is the SW...Western Region. SW built first skyscrapper,first olympic stadium ,first newspaper...Tribune...Iroyin Yoruba,SW gave Nigeria TV,Radio etc. It was envy that made Aguiyi Ironsi et al stop this phenomenal growth because SE was backward compared to the rich SW. |
