Asiodu account cannot be trusted. He was Gowon lap dog and even supported the killings in his own Asaba hometown.

But Arthur Nzeribe who accepted from Gowon the contract of importing the very arms and amunition used by the Nigeria Army to perpetrate those massacres in Asaba could be trusted so much that in 1979 ( i.e. just seven years after the war), he was voted massively by Ndigbo to represent them in the Senate to the humiliation of the very Ojukwu whom Ndigbo claim is their hero, and again it was repeated in 1999 when the same Arthur Nzeribe was voted to the Senate from his constituency in Alaigbo.
Hmmmmm.

And more importantly, Ojukwu was alive when Philip Asiodu granted that interview but he never issued any rebuttal. So what does that tell you about the veracity of Asiodu's submission?

Stop writing rubbish and stay on topic.

Asiodu was Gowon lap dog! He even supported the massacre in his Asaba hometown.
His account cannot be taken seriously. He would say and do anything to launder the image of Gowon his master.
If you want to discuss about Nzeribe, open another thread, this one is about Asiodu and Gowon and how they dissolved the regions.

The Igbo man and his penchant to introduce insult into a debate sailing on facts and logic. You are the one typing rubbish. Else how do you just dismiss an evidence with an assumption rather than with superior contrary facts? So the Orji Kalu whose media house published the story and didn't edit away that part was also a Gowon's lapdog? Ojukwu's associates and lieutenants have been alive since Asiodu made this submission but they have never rebutted it. So why are you here doing it for him?

Akwamkpuruamu:
You can tell that to those who don't read. If it was abolished, why was there regional control and autonomy in 1966 and going forward till, Gowon abolished regional government and split the six regions into 12 states?

Reading doesn't kill and it saves from Public embarrassment . Ironsi turned Nigeria into a Unitary state where instead of regions managing their resources and developing at their pace,everything now go to to the center for sharing

He killed the regions, creating state was a result of the uselessness of the region your drunkard for father Aguyi Ironsi destroyed. Every evil policy afflicting us as a nation were c products of selfish and greedy disposition of your fore fathers

From Zik to Azikwe now to that Baboon Lamidi Cownu in DSS cage

A tribe that is the troubler of a nation

Even if Ironsi were to rise from his grave now to confess to the abolition of regional system, these kinsmen of his on Nairaland will accuse him of lying against himself to please Hausafulanis and Yorubas.

Stop entertaining that Nitwit. Corrupting narrative is part of their DNA. They stripped the region of Independence because the Igbo goat,Ironsi thought he was going to rule for life.

Fulani overthrew him in 6months to inherit his spoils of office , they will blame Fulani that was a beneficiary of the madness and greed but not Ironsi that wasn't only greedy but demonically stupid


Same script Baboon Lamidi Cownu is currently acting. Their lack of intelligence makes their plots very obvious from the beginning

Buhari hasn't tender any ban on Uk or any other countries for that matter. The nigeria goverment were still coNtemplating in doing so but just take a look Nigeria with their double mouthed on BUhari

2023 won't be any difference afterall..,a little crumb of breas they already drolling.

Akwamkpuruamu:
It was Gowon that was trying to annex the regions to be in full control under him, thereby trying to change the status quo. To which Ojukwu rebuffed and that was the reason for the Aburi Meeting

Seems you are suggesting that Ironsi was such a stark illiterate who didn't even know the meaning of the words he used in composing his own May 24 1966 national broadcast else explain what exactly he meant with the bolded expressions in the broadcast as below:











Ironsi's broadcast to the nation - May 24, 1966.




Fellow Nigerians:
During the past two weeks I presided over meetings of the Supreme
Military council and the Central Executive Council at which many
important state matters were considered. . .
It is now three months since the Government of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria was handed over to the Armed Forces. Now that peace has
been restored in the troubled areas it is time that the Military
Government indicates clearly what it proposes to accomplish before
relinquishing power. The removal of one of the obstacles on the way
is provided for in the Constitution (Suspension and Modification)
Decree (No. 5) 1966 which was promulgated by me today and comes into
effect at once.
The provisions of the Decree are intended to remove the last
vestiges of the intense regionalism of the recent past, and to
produce that cohesion in the governmental structure which is so
necessary in achieving, and maintaining the paramount objective of
the National Military government, and indeed of every true Nigerian,
namely, national unity.
The highlights of this Decree are as follows:
The former regions are abolished, and Nigeria grouped into a number
of territorial areas called provinces. . . .
Nigeria ceases to be what has been described as a federation. It
now becomes simply the Republic of Nigeria.
The former Federal Military government and the Central Executive
Council become respectively the National Military Government and the
executive Council. All the Military Governors are members of the
Executive Council.
A Military Governor is assigned to a group of provinces over which
and subject to the direction and control of the Head of the National
Military Government, he shall exercise executive power. In order to
avoid any major dislocation of the present administrative machinery,
the grouping of the provinces has been made to coincide with the
former regional boundaries. This is entirely a transitional measure
and must be understood as such. The present grouping of the
provinces is without prejudice to the Constitutional and
Administrative arrangements to be embodied in the New Constitution in
accordance with the wishes of the people of Nigeria.
The National Military Government assumes the exercise of all
legislative powers throughout the Republic subject to such
delegations to Military Governors as are considered necessary for
purposes of efficient administration.
The public services of the former federation and regions become
unified into one national public service under a National Public
Service Commission.. There is a provincial Service Commission for
each group of provinces to which is delegated functions in respect of
public officers below a given rank........

Sun news paper is a business Enterprise.
If Asiodu is paying for the interview or the interview would generate audience, Sun will print it.
It's all about profit.
Ojukwu and his camp generally don't stress whenever anyone make stupid claims on media, if they do they will be justifying such stupid claims.
Many times silence is the best answer.

Ofodirinwa:
Nigeria applied pressure. The UK needs Nigeria 20x more than Nigeria needs the UK. If Nigerians stopped patronizing the US over half of their airlines will declare bankruptcy the next day.

U.s abi uk ?

joyandfaith:
Oh!,
The the 'white' created Nigeria and you are happy about it. You are real slave. Make I clap for you. Can u tell me why there are more nations per land mass in Europe than Africa?
Why is that most nations in Europe are monolingual or monoethnic.
There wouldn't have been be Nigeria if 1914 did not happen.

Una don overflog this 1914 amalgamation tire; y’all weren’t born when it did. If you need to challenge it it is through the courts and ur reps not propaganda

All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria forever!

We are waiting to see if they will threaten Saudi Arabia.

Nothing is happening there apart from Hajj.

Saudi Arabia is not our significant trading partner and in fact, if FG had faced Saudi Arabia, the naysayers and enemies of Nigeria will suddenly pollute it with their obscene bigotry and hatred for folks who don't speak their language or worship God in their own way.

we are saying the same thing Saudi Arabia, have also banned flights from Nigeria, so why not we ban them also? besides if you know the billion we spend on the Hajj you will also clamor for Nigeria to do something.

You are right. I lend my own voice in support too that FG should reason Saudi Arabia's restriction too. Even Canada sef

I am not surprised with such a good news... Nigeria is a useless country

NGpatriot:
UAE caved in yesterday

UK caves in today......

When the Giant of Africa speaks, other Nations must listen.

No more room for nonsense, no more taking Nigeria for granted.

No more infringing on and sabotaging our Sovereignty and national interest.

I feel so proud and honored to be a Nigerian.

Does this means the Nigerian international passport booklets will be made available anytime soon? They keep getting removals from red lists without doing the needful �‍♂️

I don't understand sir. This is the first time we demanded and insisted that UK has no moral authority and clout to redlist us without us fighting bank. So I honestly don't get the ' always- in your remark. On passports, I can tell you for free that it has no connection with the main issue of this thread. I will suggest to you that you create a thread for it sir

Kdesg:
Na everyday them dey remove una for red list?

See where beggarly mentality has Landed you my country

Senseless..

If I want to travel or not, don't you think it will be immodest to announce it on a social media?

Mallam you arent going nowhere...allow ppl thinking of traveling out to complain
