letu: It is clear you attended a bush school in your AfghanEASTern Region where you were not taught contextual meaning of words. For the idiot you are you failed to see that in the preceding sentence to the one you referenced, Ironsi already said that his decree takes effect at once. What does the phrase "at once" mean to you in that sentence? 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. Intention can translate into reality immediately. Moreover go and check for the meaning of Decree and see if there is any time lag between its promulgation and its taking of effect.

Rugaria: Are you saying you can't just simply explain what Ironsi meant by those bolded lines in his broadcast hence you went into this conjectural merry-go-round? I just don't understand you Easterners at all. This is how people fail exams. Imagine yourself a teacher and you give this as an exam question and your student gives as answer exactly the response you have given above, will you pass him? Be honest! 10 Likes 1 Share |

nku5:The topic is never buried. That will only happen the day you Ironsi's brothers explain what exactly he meant with those expressions. It has nothing whatsoever to do with electioneering season. It is all about how Nigeria was derailed into this unworkable structure which even the election of a saint into Aso Rock will not address. 8 Likes 1 Share |

flokii:That is the very essence of the post. You can see how they are all circumventing the poser with conjectures and theories manufactured from their imaginations. One even argued that he made those decrees but never implemented them till he died. Just imagine that kind of talk. Then you wonder what the word "decree" means to him. 8 Likes 1 Share |

gidgiddy: Do you know what a decree is? I mean a decree? Or are you suggesting that Ironsi was such a weakling that he, as GOC of the almighty Nigerian Army, made decrees and went to sleep without implementing them? On the contrary, Ironsi arrested Isaac Adaka Boro and secured death by hanging for him within two months even before he made his Anti-secession Decree. A person who could enforce a yet non-existent decree is whom you are suggesting later made decrees and couldn't enforce them? Why not look the way of comedy? 11 Likes 4 Shares |

Deadlytruth: Are you minding them?.. a man sat down, thought of and drafted a decree to end regional government which he pronounced on national tv and radio yet they want to absolve him of the blame. Ironsi and the other Igbo elites at the time had a grand plan to dominate Nigeria and rule permanently.. reason they acted the way they did not knowing the Northerners would orchestrate a counter-coup to wipe out Igbos. Look at them today, crying and wailing like sore losers when infact their forebearers laid the foundation of Nigeria's problems. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

flokii: Gen Ogundipe believed that Gen Ironsi was Part of the Coup he even told the British Commonwealth Office so the day after the Coup when they asked for his opinion Why wouldn’t Ogundipe think so, what was he the most Competent Nigerian Officer (According to Gen Everad Welby the last British head of the Nigerian Army ) doing posted to London in the middle of the Operation Wetie Crisis? 1 Like |

Christistruth00: He (Ironsi) wasn't the most senior military officer in Nigeria at the time.. he had about 10 senior officers ahead of him that Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, Okafor and co. made sure they killed alongside Sardauna, Akintola and others leaving Ironsi out... so Gen. Ogundipe was right in his suspicion of Ironsi. 6 Likes |

flokii:Come to think of it, all before then their overall leader Nnamdi Azikiwe had been hypocritically singing one-Nigeria all over the Western and Northern Regions while he secured his own Eastern Region for himself and his people. He didn't even want the regions to have been created in the first instance hence attempted to dissuade the colonial overlords from it but failed. He wanted to rule an undivided Nigeria where he would place his people ahead of others without any meritocratic basis. He started an opportunistic nationalism campaign because his home was seriously disadvantaged in terms of landmass coupled with the fact that his kinsman were most scattered in other regions. Then in a grand design they plotted a coup through which they wasted leaders of other regions citing corruption but left to walk free their own leaders who were part and parcel of that allegedly corruption ridden government. Then with the coast now clear they introduced military rule to bring down the federalist constitution which they couldn't do in the previous democratic environment. But today they blame Gowon and Hausafulanis for all these as if it was Gowon or Hausafulanis that first argued against federalism and invented the fraudulent one-Nigeria philosophy. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Deadlytruth: The Igbos abolished everything Nigerians sweat for after the colonialists left, the regional govt., constitution etc. yet claim some aburi accord concoted by military officers in Ghana and not recognized by any law was flouted by Nigeria during biafra war.. It's elected lawmakers or assigned delegates that have powers to make such agreements not soldiers. 7 Likes 1 Share |
