ShaqFu:
I'm sure if things go south social media noise makers like you will be in your house blaming the government for everything.

I still don't even want to wonder why many of you people have brains but can't use it. Tssk.

And why should things go south you blood baying mongrel? Rallies have held in many states and nothing went south. But as soon as it gets to your drug mafia’s backyard you start vomiting gibberish.

Lovenorth:
Logas is not a playing grounds of the Ipob terrorists

Ok logas isn’t but Lagos is…cry more urchin.

This is exactly what vermin like you always say and when things go south, you'll start blaming the government for your woes, you blood sucking demon.

Of all the places in Lagos to hold their rally, it is Lekki Toll Gate they chose. I'm sure empty headed individual like you can't think for yourself that's why you type without thinking.

*HISTORY NEVER DIES....*

*By Reno Omokri*

What Queen Elizabeth II’s Death Exposes About Biafra

First published in my column, #TheAlternative, in today’s ThisDay.

When on Thursday, September 8, 2022, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II passed on into ancestor-hood, I was not particularly moved. I like England. I schooled and worked there and those years were some of the best of my life. The English people are by far some of the most decent peoples on planet Earth.

However, I am rather indifferent about their monarch. I did not like or dislike Queen Elizabeth II. The only thing I can think of that I admire in her is her stoicism. Her ability to take pain and pleasure with equanimity. She is the epitome of duty and a stiff upper lip.

But I doubt that I bothered much about her and her goings on. I was just aloof.

So, while I was not one of those mourning, it was not because I had some grudge against the House of Windsor. No. It is just that the House of Ginuwa (the first Olu of Warri), mattered more to me than Buckingham Palace.

The above not withstanding, I was absolutely mortified by the hideous and historically inaccurate things that were said about the Queen and her family by a Nigerian woman living in America, whose name I will not dignify by mentioning.

I later got to find out that this woman has other issues, which made me understand her bitterness better, though I still vehemently reject her indecorous words.

She was one of the people who famously celebrated the death of TB Joshua and called him all sorts of unprintable names when he died. So it is no big surprise that she has turned her vitriol in the direction of the late Queen.

And so now, let me tackle what the death of Queen Elizabeth II reveals about Biafra. It shows us as a people not aware of our history, and because we are not aware of our own history, we have distorted it, such that propaganda and pseudo history has been orally passed down from one generation to the other, feeding unfounded bitterness that is destroying those who harbour it, and having no effect on those against whom they are embittered.

That is why some people believe they were just sitting down minding their business and Hausa people came to fight them (all Northerners are Hausa to some people) because they hate them. There was absolutely no provocation, or igniting events that preceded the Nigerian Civil War. Hausa people just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and for some strange reason decided to pounce on the people of Eastern Nigeria.

But of course, that is not what happened. However, because we do not write our history, and even worse, we have refused to teach it in our schools, there are millions of people who believe this version of events. In fact, they swear by it.

One fellow named Uche Nnaya even tweeted at me that the Igbos of Southeast Nigeria had a right to rail against the British monarch and the rest of Nigeria, because “you can’t push people to the wall and dictate how they react.”

Really? But do those who hold such views not know that some other persons were FIRST pushed to the wall? Uche’s response will also justify how those who were first pushed to the wall reacted.

We cannot keep holding grudges as if other people do not have their own grudges that they have let go for the peace and unity of this country called Nigeria.

My great uncle, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, was shot and killed in the street by Major Chris Anuforo on January 15, 1966. Ironically, I went to school with Anuforo’s son. Should my people carry that grudge forever?

Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was shot on the street like a common criminal by Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna. Ifeajuna tried to deny it, and claimed that Alhaji Balewa died from an asthma attack, until his body was taken to LUTH and examined by the then minister for health, Dr. Moses Majekodunmi. It was established that the body was riddled with bullets in a front page story in Daily Times, written by Segun Osoba, who later became the Governor of Ogun. He is still alive.

This was an incorruptible gentleman. He lived a very ascetic life. Materialism was FAR from him. He was an author. His book, Shaihu Umar, was the first novel written in Hausa. He surrounded himself with Southerners (in hindsight, was that a mistake?). His best friend was Matthew Mbu. Should the Tafawa-Balewa family and the people of Bauchi, where he was from, hold a grudge forever?

I could go on and on and list the people killed on January 15, 1966, and the identities of their killers, but that would just be reopening old wounds. These are historical facts, which some people deny and pretend as if the Civil War happened in a vacuum.

So, please let us stop pretending as if the late Queen Elizabeth II came to Nigeria and ignited a war. The Nigerian Civil War was ignited by a series of unfortunate events that began with the cold blooded murder of 22 people from the Northern, Western, and Mid Western regions by people of mostly Eastern region origin, which led to a counter coup by Northern Nigerian military officers on July 29, 1966, and the unfortunate pogrom of 66-67.

Many people now spewing vitriol against the late Queen Elizabeth II for her alleged role in the Nigerian Civil War conveniently forget that between August 9, 1967 and September 20, 1967, Biafran forces invaded and occupied the Midwest region, and named Albert Nwazu Okonkwo, as military Governor of the Midwest. A number of non Igbo speaking Mid-Westerners lost their lives during the Biafran occupation of the Midwest.

After the Midwest was liberated by forces led by colonels Murtala Muhammed and Benjamin Adekunle, more Mid-Westerners, this time those linguistically linked to the Igbo (especially in the Asaba axis), were killed. Please research it before you insult me.

I need to add that the killings by the liberating forces were worse than the killings of the Biafrans, and should truly have been declared war crimes.

Yet, in that same Midwest, we accepted Nigerians of Southeast origin back after the war. We did not seize their properties in the abandoned property saga that occurred in the Port Harcourt area and its environs. We let bygones be bygones.

The truth of the matter is that If the January 15, 1966 coup had never happened, it is most unlikely that the Nigerian Civil War would have occurred. The perpetrators of that coup opened a Pandora’s Box that the rest of Nigeria are still suffering from today!

There was wild jubilation all over Nigeria after that coup, because Nigerians believed it was a patriotic and nationalistic coup. Then the names of those killed were announced over the radio, and it was discovered that only people from the North, West and Midwest were killed, but NOBODY from the East was killed, whereas the vast majority of those who carried out the coup were from the East.

That is the remote cause of the Nigerian Civil War. We will remember it. We will also teach it to our children, so that it does not reoccur.

So, to just keep nursing grudges and reopening old wounds will do no one any good. You can bully others into submission, but you cannot do it to Reno Omokri. I know history and I am a meticulous record keeper!

It is only those who are ignorant about how the British government works that will blame the late Queen for the actions of the British government. She was a titular and ceremonial head of state, whose actions were limited to appointing the candidate who has won election directly or indirectly as prime minister, and declaring open the parliament. She was a symbol. She was not the initiator of the policies of the British government.

And even the British government are not to blame for the Nigerian Civil War. We must learn to take responsibility for our own actions. That war was the result of the ill advised January 15, 1966 coup.

The coup itself was led by Majors Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna. It was executed by the following persons:

1. Kaduna Nzeogwu
2. Emmanuel Ifeajuna
3. Timothy Onwuatuegwu
4. Adewale Ademoyega
5. Chris Anuforo
6. Humphrey Chukwuka
7. Donatus Okafor

Of these seven people, only one, Adewale Ademoyega, was non Igbo. The rest were all Igbo, although Major Nzeogwu was what was referred to at that time as Midwest Igbo (later colloquially referred to as Bendel Igbo and now as Delta Igbo). Major Donatus Okafor’s mother was Tiv. However, his father was Igbo.

Incidentally, some Igbos unwisely try to deny that Nzeogwu was Igbo, and call him ‘your South-South’ brother. Unknown to them, the more they do this, the more they make non Igbos feel that those specific Igbos who say that have learned very little since the civil war.

22 people were killed during the coup, including

1. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
2. Ahmadu Bello
3. Ahmed Ben Musa
4. Hafsatu Bello
5. Ahmed Pategi
6. Samuel Ladoke Akintola
7. Festus Okotie-Eboh
8. Brig. Samuel Ademulegun
9. Brig. Zakariya Maimalari
10. Col. Ralph Shodeinde
11. Col. Kur Mohammed
12. Lt. Col. Abogo Largema
13. Lt. Col. James Pam
14. Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe
15. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke
16. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun
17. Zarumi Sardauna
18. PC Yohana Garkawa
19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo
20. PC Akpan Anduka
21. PC Hagai Lai
22. Philip Lewande

As is clear from the list above, none of them were from the then Eastern Nigeria. . (I have since learned that Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe was Igbo. He was in charge of weaponry in Lagos, and was killed when he refused to cooperate with Major Chris Anuforo).

After the coup, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi took over. Rightly, or wrongly, the rest of the nation felt that a coup carried out by overwhelmingly Eastern officers, and of which the victims were entirely non Easterners, and which supplanted a Northern minority leader (Tafawa-Balewa), with an Igbo leader, (Aguiyi-Ironsi) was a set up.

However, Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi’s promise to try the coup plotters placated the rest of the country. Sadly, the plotters were jailed, but were never tried. And the immediate cause of the July 29, 1966 counter coup was when rumours circulated that the coup plotters had been receiving full salaries in jail and were to be promoted.

These are facts that we all should address, rather than blaming the late Queen Elizabeth II for a war she did not cause, nor had anyway of stopping. And if we do not learn from our history, there is every possibility that another war might erupt in Nigeria.

The Biafrans inflicted a very harsh occupation on present day Rivers, Cross Rivers and Akwa-Ibom, as well as present day Delta and Edo before they were flushed out by federal forces. The Bayelsa area escaped the brunt of Biafran occupation due to the fight back from Isaac Adaka Boro. They invaded Ore and hundreds of soldiers and civilians died. There is still a Yoruba proverb about the amount of people that died in Ore. Ask a Yoruba person to tell you the meaning of ‘o le ku ija Ore.

We have all forgiven and moved on. Yet, you want to reopen these old wounds and make them cancerous by blaming Queen Elizabeth II 50 years after the war?

And when you point this out, the very same people castigating the late Queen will accuse you of creating ethnic tension? Do you want to be victims and victors at the same time? Leave the woman and her family to grieve in peace. By celebrating the Queen’s death, you are giving Nigeria a very nasty reputation that will affect all of us and not only you. We cannot afford to be seen as a nation with anti British and American sentiments, when we are not able to get a better deal from China and Russia.

Reno’s Nuggets

Dear men,

As long as a river is dry, fish won’t come. Stop looking for women in your poverty. The first thing that a dry river needs is water, not fish. Look for water for your river and fish will come naturally. Look for prosperity and the right woman will come naturally. Eve came as soon as Adam secured the job of tending the garden. And until you have a salary or income, you should learn to control your libido. Much of the world’s challenges is caused by adult males who increase the population when they have no remuneration. Be productive in the boardroom before being reproductive in the bedroom!

don't know why anyone is warning these people not to do their rally, Govt just need to make order and anyone that overruled that should be arrested and face the wrath of Justice

ShaqFu:
This is exactly what vermin like you always say and when things go south, you'll start blaming the government for your woes, you blood sucking demon.

Of all the places in Lagos to hold their rally, it is Lekki Toll Gate they chose. I'm sure empty headed individual like you can't think for yourself that's why you type without thinking.

Frothing gibberish as usual, expected from a programmed agbadorian.

ShaqFu:
Oh I guess the government didn't provide police that's why the aftermath of the endsars protest resulted in the loss of properties.

I think there is a difference between PROTEST and RALLY. Protest is fueled with/by anger while rally is fueled with/by love and support. But there was a match/rally for Tinubu in Ibadan this week, why u didn't mention all this your thought/fear?

christejames:
They should file all the suits they know and can...


OBIdients will hold their mega rally at toll gate


What are they scared of? It's just a rally.

my brother, listen to the voice of your elders.

Grandmeister:

I won't be surprise if you're as foolish as you type.

True. But ask yourself why Peter Obi decided to use Lekki Toll Gate for his rally. Why didn't he use other places like Onikan stadium or even National stadium or anywhere else, why Lekki Toll Gate.

BATified2023:
once the governor n commissioner of police issue a memo that they can’t guarantee your safety,anything u do is at your own risk so if anyone is killed it will b labeled rally chaos

Many of u are kids who don’t understand how rally operates


Just mark my words,once a non safety guarantee memo is released nobody will b held responsible for anything that happens

Common sense should tell you the memo is politically motivated.

Nigerian police cannot even guarantee the safety of their own police men.

The memo is an admittance of ineptitude.

MasterJayJay:


Common sense should tell you the memo is politically motivated.

Nigerian police cannot even guarantee the safety of their own police men.

The memo is an admittance of ineptitude.

either politically motivated or anything

Memo is memo n d content is sacrosanct

At the end they will even issue a disclaimer

To whom it may concern,this is to notify the public and all other parties involved that due to the volatile nature of security situation and previous happenings their safety can’t be guaranteed
Lagos state government

E go soon clear for Igbo eyes

Campaigning would have officially started by then . The judge will throw out that case . But I think the message they want to pass is that Obi supporters destroyed lagos during end sars . Which is a big lie .

We should listen to this, let’s meet them at the polls, there and then let’s throw down
We smart pass them

ImperialYoruba:


Inside house rally, yeah.

which one be inside house rally again ?.. sorry I'm not here for those your politics abeg

nazicartel:
boss. I'm still trying to understand what you're typing here. Why do you think APC or PDP Can't do their rally in Obi's local government?. Was expecting to hear from the police if the place is safe for the Obi's people or not. Not even these groups forming what I don't know. The security units are the people expected to give the clearance and nobody else. Is Lekki in Tinubu's local govt?

okay explicitly what am trying to let you know is that any other candidate coming to Obi LGA to campaign is good as someone coming to your house to toast your Girlfriend.. how would you feel.. point is.. in Obi local government there is possibility of his loyalist holding counter rallies that might turn into confrontation and fracas then bloodshed, trust me those useless touts on lagos Island, Ajah, Itedo will descend on anyone campaigning on that axis against APC for now, thats my point brother.. e word is enough for the wise... dont start what you can't finish.

I support kill at sight of anyone that does rally at Lekki toll gate.

Lagosiwns, protect your crown jewel with all your heart and might!!

Let them take the rally to Awka. Nothing is stopping them from doing so. We saw what they did to the city the first time. Under no account must that repeat itself.

christejames:

Obi supporters don't have any strategy than to spoil river's name. If they born well, they should hold any bad belle rally. We know how Ipob fuelled Lekki tollgate palaba. Eventually, they put it on the head of Tinubu, sons of haters. HausaFulanis, Yorubas and others, wake up, Igbos will destroy you all if Obi enters Aso Rock. Don't trust Igbos, they will finish you.

ATLIEN2027:
The Peter Obi turay brainwashed IPOB terrorist Zombidient should go and protest about the people that are getting killed in Anambra, just last week 10 more people were gunned down.
Peter Obi tuary is yet to condemned his IPOB terrorist Zombidient killers. He can't, because he's their leader.

I weep for you. your level of mental instability is at an alarming and frightening stage

I pray God heals you

Peter Obi's IPOB Thugs ambition Is to burn down Lagos

Talk when it goes south.....
EndSars rally was peaceful, until when the Government decided to kill innocent souls

ShaqFu:
What is wrong with this Peter Obi. It now appear as if he's carried away with the social media frenzy.

Anybody planning a rally or whatever it is should have a serious rethink. The security situation in the country is more than enough reason for anybody planning whatever to desist from such plan.

I'm sure if or when they hold that rally, and things go south, this same Peter Obi and his cronies will be the ones blaming the government for what they use their hands to cause.

omenka:
Lagosiwns, protect your crown jewel with all your heart and might!!

Let them take the rally to Awka. Nothing is stopping them from doing so. We saw what they did to the city the first time. Under no account must that repeat itself.

Benue man shut up and stop talking nonsense.

God bless igbos
God bless real Omoluabis
thunder scatter Tinubu urchins

Tinubuwins2023e:
I support kill at sight of anyone that does rally at Lekki toll gate.

Tinubu is a bastard drug dealing vagabond

God bless Yoruba Christians and reasonable Yoruba Muslims
God bless real Omoluabis
thunder scatter Tinubu urchins

ShaqFu:
True. But ask yourself why Peter Obi decided to use Lekki Toll Gate for his rally. Why didn't he use other places like Onikan stadium or even National stadium or anywhere else, why Lekki Toll Gate.

Wonno ask you bro, is Lekki Toll Gate a forbidden place to be? Is it a war zone area? And pls don't mention the past event cause this is not a protest but a love and support rally.

This is why I tell Yoruba people their tolerance will be trampled upon very soon. Imagine those kids calling Yorubas fear fear people.

Ok, the dice is cast. But just let no man cry foul play when the expected in situations like this happens because iam sure it won't end well. That iam sure of.

Allow those OBI touts to go Lekki.i wan see the real omo ONILE that day .May Ogun strike those fl@theadPIGS if them nor gather that day
