Why are you telling me this ? Is peace not reigning?
Why are you telling me what I must do
You do what you like that is your business
Did we bring you into Nigeria? Don't you know how you got here . The same way you climb a tree is how you will descend.
We do not despise you. That is your way. We are tolerant of you

flokii:
Let's even assume that what the man said has some credence.. why didn't Ironsi execute the coup plotters?

Ths Igbos can continue deceiving gullible people including willing Yorubas but they can't deceive the North. Ab0kis no get time for story. You killed their Sarduana, killed Tafawa Balewa and every leader of thought in North but somehow the premier of the then Eastern region Michael Okpara, an Igbo and other Igbo politicians all escaped the brutal killings.
Tell us another joke jor.

T9ksy:
Why do you guys keep referring to some phantom opportunity to pull out during the civil war. Where is the opportunity when the region is under occupation by murderous Nigerian soldiers armed to the teeth and spoiling for a blood bath.

DMerciful:
You can continue with your denial but everything is a matter of time. If we survive an uncivil war, nothing we can't survive

Igbos will be victorious, just as Isreal is victorious

Ojiofor:
Killings unfortunately will always be there it did not start today.
Is North not killing themselves today?
Were Igbos not killing themselves before and even today?Before you argue Remember intercommunal killings going in Ebonyi state and Aguleri and Umuleri war.In the West remember Ife and Madakeke war.It is human nature there must be conflict here and there even in families. As for whether it is Igbo coup,ask yourself why you seems to have sympathy for the coup plotters.I am Igbo and see their actions as anti Igbo in every aspect that has set us back for decades.

Tingotoe:
It was not an Igbo coup. The military felt they needed to intervene and take over but sadly they made a mess of things

HBB1:
God bless you bro.

Let's say the truth as it is.

Seek reconciliation where possible and move on from there.

Blames, counter-blames and LIES will not help anybody.

I grew up thimking Nzeogwu was a hero, because I was naive and stupid.

I had an Igbo friend who hated the very mention of Nzeogwu since we were teenagers.
He called him insane and blood thirsty.

I am older now and having a rounded knowledge of what happened, I know the 1st coup was a terrible mistake.

Those young, naive, power-drunk men changed the course of this country's history.

DMerciful:
The army cannot fight two solid wars at the same time. There was a good opportunity to pull out. If you're afraid to loose a few persons then you're not ready. Even till today America still looses soldiers in the middle east

aribisala0:
You can lose all the people you like
It is not for you to tell us what to do or how to go about it.
That is very disrespectful on your part
If you need to defecate do so which one is
come make we go shit?

I really need to push back on this idiocy

Why should we leave BECAUSE you think we should?
Did we come into Nigeria together

You went and organized a coup for your own benefit it did not work out and then the Northerners did their own at which point you decide
"We no do again" . That is your choice
How is that the business of Yoruba .Why should we secede because you decide to do so when you decide?

We do not owe you any explanation

We were absolutely right to support Nigeria is supporting the crushing of Biafra and would do so again . Hear that clearly

All this emotional manipulation will not work
Whether we stay or leave Nigeria is not your business and we are not engaging you in any competition for who hates Nigeria most

aribisala0:
It was an Ibo coup

gidgiddy:
How could Ironsi have executed the coup plotters? Are we forgetting that the coup was staged against civilian rule and not military rule? Where we see the military rushing to conduct military tribunals and execute coup plotters is when the coup is against a military regime. May be if Ironsi had put the coup plotters before a military tribunal earlier, it might have helped in the short term, but not the long term



And yet if Igbos want to go their way as Biafra, the same Nigerians will want to fight war. The same people who say that Igbos killed their leaders 55 years ago still want "one Nigeria" with Igbos, why?

They want Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB finished even more than boko haram, ISWAP and the bandits killing them up North, why?

The same Nnamdi Kanu only wants him and his people to go their way, but those who are still in pains that their leaders were killed 55 years ago still want to be with Igbos in "one Nigeria"

I will never understand this one

There was a lot of nepotism and compllaints of this against the Eboes

The first person in our history to forge a Ds.c certificate was an Eboe doctor who forged a higher qualification that he did not have from Canada , his name was Anieke. When he was busted he was forced to resign from the governing council of UI

Zik rewarded him by making him his personal doctor and two years later bulldozed him back to the UI governing council


Today we see the same thing at FIIRO with Chima Igwe and a fake PhD and the antics of Ogbonnaya Onu
