Yes you fought a war and lost. Ask your elders. Your land is conquered .
Go and ask them in Texas and other confederate states that lost the US Civil War.
When Isaac Boro tried to secede what did Ironsi do . It is BY FORCE or did your ancestors tell you they bought application form? You did not apply you were INCLUDED in Nigeria BY FORCE


You can
A> Fall in line
B> Exit the country
C> fight another war


That question applies not just to Eboes ask Boko Haram or Sunday Igboho

This line about if we do not get president we will XYZ has only one effect it drives the presidency away from difficult to impossible


You need to come up with more original and adult thinking

valentineuwakwe:




By 1966 how many graduates do you think the north have to employ n fit into ministerial positions then?
During GEJ, those officers were next in line to take over n didn't the economy grow n fair better when we match merit to competence. ..instead Buhari will rather select a junior fulani to take over appointment and you think the economy will fair better.

Every tribe fair well n rule under trust, fairness n justice..so where is the justice n fairness of the igbos 're denial the presidency? Lets allow them and see what they can bring to the table for Nigeria. .simple

ArewaNorth:


President of Igbo extraction is always rejected not just because of who to control as u allege or who can't be controlled. Presidency in Nigeria is all about trust, fairness and justice.
OBJ, GEJ and PMB were/are never controlled by any group of people. Do u really know how powerful is that seat? Nobody can even think of dictatung someone on that seat, it is too mighty for that game.When GEJ was President he made this appointments:


1. SGF: Anyim Pius Anyim.
2. DG, DSS: Ita Ekpenyong.

Etc.

GEJ'S SERVICE CHIEFS WERE:
1. Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshall Alex Badeh; 2. Chief of Army Staff, Major General Kenneth Minimah;
3. Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Usman Jibrin; and
4. Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshall Adesola Amosu and u still think that others controlled him? Think again.
The event of 1966 was the main reasons why Igbo will hardly be trusted with power anytime sooner because when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;
Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
The University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!
Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!
Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.
To make it worse, Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it and let the coupist left unpunished. Honestly, those officers set a bad precedent to the entire Igbo despite having handful of good people who are capable of making this country better if given chance to rule.

fregeneh:


OK! Now you know, the agitation is force the hands of powers that be to look at their side (SE) for presidency the same way the north started BH just to get power back after the demise yar'adua

Igboid:


Chief of Naval staff in 1964-75 = Commodore J.E.A Wey.
He isn't Igbo.
Chief of Army staff in 1963- 65 was John Alexander McKenzie. Ironsi took over in 1965.
IG of police in 1964-66 was Luis Edet.
Infact Mike Okilo in 2007 was Igbos first ever IG of police in Nigeria.
Internal Affairs minister in 1966 was Shehu Shagari, he replaced Usman Sarki.
Tafawa Balewa doubled as Prime minister and External affairs minister in 1964-66 cabinet.

The Minister of Education in 1964- 66 was Richard Akinjide.

Many of you only major in spinning lies against Ndiigbo.
It will never be well with you lots.

Ebubu:
Who takes Fani Kayode seriously?


An ex-convict oo

Progressiveby:


Can you please name one officer from south east that was involved in the 1966 saga? I'm waiting.

aribisala0:
This is simply untrue

Boko Haram started UNDER Yar'adua stop peddling lies

Yar'adua killed one of their leaders leading to escalation


That the IPOB agitation is to achieve SE presidency is your own analysis . They have never said so , their actions are not aligned in that direction and it is not likely to work in 1000 years

Sergio103:


The people with most puerile attitude and thinking is you other Nigerians especially the yollobas.

I mean what are you guys afraid of??

Are you guys actually a subhumans to be fearing the throne of power to igbos??.

If Igbo person should compete and loose...... understandable (I will even prefer it, as it will change many things and act as a pure catalyst).

But you Yolloba people and other one neijerianist going about shouting "we can't trust them with power" simply shows one thing......"fear".

And with that we have to give you guys our plan B. Which is definitely Secession

The animal that killed Sardauna and his innocent wife despite taking good care of him like a son but took the order of his evil brothers from far East; Major Kaduna Nzweogun!

IPOB agitation is not for Assuming office of presidency but it was among the reasons that gave rise to the agitation.

But as it stands now...... IPOB gives no fúck about your presidency.

On Biafra we stand

Reality3080:
it's basically about lack of trust n not fear

Try rubbish n we will deal with u like we dealt with your forefathers

ArewaNorth:


Being logical by stating the actual year which I didn't outlined can stop the fact that those people were in those positions at that time. Nevertheless, appointments were never the issues but the selective barbaric gruesome murder of other Nigerians. They thought North won't have big men again not knowing that we always and will always have series of big men.

aribisala0:
You are a hypocrite and just as hateful

Everyperson is an individual and is free to speak for himself.

No Eboe group sent you here to speak on their behalf and that is equally true for anyone Yoruba person who says what you like or dislike. So your hateful rant is just more impotent hate in YOUR STOMACH . It poisons no one but yourself

I really do not have time to school you in history but it seems you are a kid.

The Yoruba attitude to Eboes is simple when it comes to politics

DEY YOUR LANE

We no send you and we believe you no send us .

That is how it has always been the difference is you faill to show emotional maturity and STFU instead you come out whining like women


Digest that .

If you want to be president contest we no send you
If we are contesting don't support us.

Can you do that in silence? Like men?

Did you vote Abiola? No

I challenge you to find one newspaper article where any Yoruba complained about that.
Still one of you went to court to stop the results announcement.


The problem you folk have is you are not nearly as smart as you think you are

Politics is a competition and you are not good enough. Your game is weak

Secede do not make announcements that is a sign of weakness. Just Do it as Nike says

aribisala0:
Who gives a fúck what you think ? Biafra online ? with a FENDI head of state

Sergio103:


Man you are getting it wrong.

In my post I said "if one nigerianists has only this to present "we can't trust them with power"......then we have a plan B to present.

Simple

Sergio103:


Yolloba man!!!.
Remind me who throw a word to igbos which read to Creation of this thread??.
I guess it's igboman? .
Why contradict yourself and that of your brothers??.

Btw,na dialogue we dey have.....no be war.

So man up and give in what you've got

Akponmfet:
Point of correction-we are not afraid of the strong and wise men of the East,rather- we are afraid of handing over power to a group of people that are mostly criminals and armed robbers
We don't trust you because you're all thieves.

perez100:
Am Igbo and I think Fani Kayode is 100% right. I like people that speaks the way it is. The reason why many tribes are saying Igbo cannot rule Nigeria is "fear". They are 100% afraid of the strong and wise men in the East. I have been hearing from them that Igbo cannot rule Nigeria when I was in Primary School. I tried to ask them why, but no reasonable answer. Let me tell them, I will do times 1000 of what Nnamdi Kanu did if they think Igbo cannot rule Nigeria. Such plot will be disastrous to Nigeria as a country in the future. Destroy such plot in your minds and Nigeria will be better for everybody. We are just postponing the evil days that must surely come unless we kill such plot.

They prefer those people they think they can control so that they can do to them what they did to Jonathan.

If Nigerians want Nigeria to be great once again - Igbo man becoming President is the answer. Or everybody will continue to cry while Nigerians will keep bleeding. It is your choice.

Igboid:


You lied about those appointments to paint Ndiigbo bad.
Why do you lots go this far to demonize Ndiigbo, why?
The post is talking about posts held by Ndiigbo before Balewa death and that's exactly what I answered.
You can verify all I wrote there. I got all the info on the internet.
Ndiigbo will surely get a country of our own one day, so that we can finally build a wall between us and your hate.

jamjo:



Criminals and armed robbers want a country of their own to perfect their act of criminality to rob and steal from their own citizens so that they will not border or steal from the saint-like you. Can you please tell me why you still want to live in the same country with Criminals and armed robbers?

ArewaNorth:


I won't lie for money talk less for free. Try to verify if those people were not part of Balewa administration and prove me wrong not just by quoting some years out of their 6yrs administration.

Igboid:


You are a liar and I have showed you the list of people with those posts in Balewa government just before the war.
