I'm happy you are beginning to have brain reset. When you bring thread like this, you are not helping the cause of the Igbos, you are only opening up old wounds
Cause of Igbos? Nigeria is a country that elected and re-elected a Fulani man called Buhari as President while Fulani herdsmen were massacaring Nigerians across the country

Which cause did Fulani have? And which would did they open?

You are a shameless liar and a history revisionist.
Your propensity to twist history has no limit. Everyday you come here to open pathetic threads dripping with propaganda and lies while pushing your Ibo supremacist agenda while also playing the victim.

Did Babangida coup or Abacha coups slaughter the political and military leaders of other tribes while protecting and saving theirs?
Only the Ibo can execute a tribal one sided coup like the coup of January 15th 1966,kill all the political and military leaders of other tribes while protecting all of their political and military leaders while playing the victim at the same time. Bear in mind that the Ibo mutineers also killed innocent by standers such as wives,drivers and personal secretaries.
Oh I see, casualty rate is what gives coup ethics tag?

The so called Igbo coup was was 20

Murtala Mohammeds Hausa coup was over 300

Dimkas middle belt coup was over 100

Orkas 'Tiv coup' was nearly 200

When will Orkah and Dimka get their Airports and national honours?

Or do you think Murtala Mohammed, Babangida and Buhari became what they are as a result of anything other than coup plotting?

That's because you have never read decree 34 to know it was a Decree about the civil service

How can the 4 Region's have become like states when they were still controlling their resources? Is there any state in Nigeria that has resource control?
The facts are out there you can't rewrite history. You are just babling

We can do this all day,if you so choose
I ask you again,all those coups you mentioned with embellished figures. Were they as one sided and tribalitic as the Ibo coup of January 15th 1966?
Did those coup plotters you mentioned kill wives,children,pregnant women and personal assistants,like Chukwuma Nzeogwu and his blood thirsty gang of mutineers?
Did those other coupists murder political and military leaders of other tribes while protecting and saving Ibo political and military leaders?
Gidgiddy, you are a shameless liar and a history revisionist.

Lie number2: That General Aguiyi-Ironsi did not abolish regionalism and did not introduce unitary rule.


What was the decree 34 of Nigeria in 1966?
The unification decree of May 1966 promulgated by Ironsi, leading to the abolition of regional system of government – Historically speaking, the West and North have always believed in the regional system of government as the best form of government for a multiethnic like Nigeria, however this was taken away by Ironsi, ...


The less said about this lie,the better. Those who are able may like to read the story of Decree 34 of 1966 in the link below. The decree completely unified and automatically abolished the autonomy of the regions. The regions became centralised under a unified system headed by a Supreme Commander Head of State. All regional governments became his appointees whom he could hire and fire at his whims. I don't even understand how any rational being with a modicum of English comprehension could even attempt to debate this but then knowing the OP Gidgiddy and his mischief, nothing is beyond him in his agenda to prove Ibo supremacy and shift blame to others.
Below is the link to Decree number 34 of 1966 you may like to download the PDF and read the details.

Where in this Decree did it say that the Regions were abolished?

Where in this did it say that the Region's no longer had resource control

Now look at Gowons Decree 14 which states on page one that the 4 Region's where hereby abolished, and 12 states, with their names, created to replace them

Decree 15 the suspended sections 141 and 164 tgat deals with resource control

Gidgiddy,
Is it that you are so ignorant or is your problem based on English compression or are you up to your usual mischief and Ibo rascality?

Decree 34 unified the whole country under a supreme leadership. All employees of the region became appointees of Ironsi. He could hire and fire any of the military governors that he appointed. All resources became domiciled in the centre. The centre became stronger and destroyed the regions. The regions became mere appendages of the centre while before they had their autonomy and the centre was weaker.
I posted a link to download the entire PDF of Decree 34 of 1966. Use it. We can not continue going round in circles.
The reason Ironsi lost his life was because he was going round the country trying to appeal to the people to accept the abrogation of the powers and autonomy of the regions. He had visited the North and on July 29th 1966 was in Ibadan to continue explaining the reasons for Decree 34 when he met his Waterloo.

What do you people think military rule is? You think its democracy? Everyone is subject to the military authorities, and all government employees hold their office by their mercy. A Military dictator can hire and fire anyone at any time. The argument is not about military rule. You people said that Ironsi abolished the Region's and introduced unitary rule

You have been shown Gowons decree 14 that abolished the 4 Region's Nigeria had, and created 12 states

You have been shown Gowons decree 15 that ended resource control and ushered in full blown unitary rule

So what is the argument here? That Ironsi unified the civili service under one command? That's what happens in military rule. But did he change the structure of Nigeria?

Gowons Decree 14 and 15 answers that

bunch of rubbish!

Where are your evidence that the death of sardauna was celebrated by igbos, bring pictures and videos...

A lying yoruba man
you are asking for evidence? Yes the one that our fathers and grandparents told us is enough did you think people can despised you for no more reason, go and ask your fellow igbos that witnessed it or where directly affected and educated yourself. And the incident happened in the 1960s at this time the idea photographing things like this to present as evidence especially personalized things that concern individual igbos is not widespread if not tens of thousands of videos and pictures of the incident will be stored.

And between I am a full blooded fulani born and bred in the north, I am not surprised you called me a Yoruba this is not a new thing to me here, everytime I disagree with an igbo man in politics section I automatically become a Yoruba to him and the same applied to a yorubas they automatically called me an igbo when I disagree with them,did you think we are not here watching what you are doing?

Rubbish? Yes honestly only unintelligent people regard anything that someone says who go against there idea as rubbish.

I only asked for a simple thing Mr fulani :
Show us your evidences. A picture or a video of Igbo people in the north celebrating the death of sardauna. Provide it and stop all these foaming in the mouth. Do you know what our own fathers told us?

So you fulanis are hated all over Africa because you also celebrated the death of sardauna?

Lol you people always sound foolishly gownon only implemented the plans of irons before ironsi was brutally murdered he has already created 12 states to replace the existing regional government.

That Ironsi abolished Regionalism and introduced unitary rule with Decree 34

Of course they know you will never Google Decree 34 to find out it was a civil service Decree. What Ironsi introduced was military rule. He neither abolished the 4 Region's Nigeria had at the time, nor denied them resource control. It was Gowon that came after Ironsi, used Decree 14 to abolish all 4 Region's, created 12 states to replace them, and introduced full blown unity rule with Decree 15 which abolished resource control
Does what you said make sense?

Truly Igbos are celebrating and happy and are celebrating Igbo power after Killing of Sarduana and Tafa Balewa.
A popular Igbo Musician Celestine Ukwu released a song Ewu Ne Ba Akwa, which means Goat is crying. A song mocking northerners.
Celestine Ukwu died in 1977 he cry also
how evil and sinister can you people be?
Do you understand Igbo, how do you know his music was celebrating the death of sardauna?
Initially, it was igbos in the north celebrating the death of sardauna, now it's the musician celestine ukwu

This long essay was not necessary, there is nothing new here people don't already know. I could write the same long essay about Murtala Mohammeds coup, Babangida's coup, Buhari's coup and Abacha's coup. In coups, the ring leaders are usually from the same part of the country , nothing new, even if casualty rate may differ

What I said if if anyone calls it an Igbo coup, the Murtala Mohammeds coup must be called an "Hausa coup", Babangida's coup a Gwari coup, Buhari's coup a Fulani coup and Abacha's coup a Kanuri coup

Since Murtala Mohammed, who led a "Hausa coup", was put on the N20 note, had Airports and buildings named after him, Nigeria has to consider putting Nzeogwu on the next currency to be introduced, and an Airport named after Ifeajuna

Since Babangida, who led a "Gwari coup", was made GCFR, it is only fitting if Anuforo and Onwuatuegwu should be given national honours

Since Buhari, who led a Fulani coup, was elected civilian President, Chukwuka should be considered qualified to be President

😆

They only remember that coup should have ethnic tag if they see Igbo name

They only remember that coup is bad if they see Igbo name

They only remember there is insecurity and criminality in Nigeria if they see Igbo name



Jokers everywhere
All the coups you mentioned are not ethnically motivated like the igbo coup except the one led by murtala Muhammed which is a counter coup and a revenged taken by arewa nationalists after they lost all hope in ironsi, did buhari staged a coup yes but he did it against his fellow fulani man Alhaji shagari and a fellow Muslim, and Babangida staged a coup against his fellow notherner and and a Muslim unlike igbos who even alarmed azikiwe to leave the country before they staged the coup.

when you talk about northerners, an outsider will assume you are talking about a sound group of people. Did northerners not start killing Christians (igbos inclusive) just because of the cartoon of Mohamed drawn in far away Denmark?

Did northerners not start a killing spree in the year 2000 because of beauty pageant?

Why are you now trying to make them look reasonable and need reasons to start killing?
Just the mention of "it's an Igbo coupe " is more than enough to agitate those illitrates .

That Zik prevented secession clause from entering the constitution

There was Awolowo, there was ZIk, there was Ahmadu Bello, Aminu Kano, Enahoro etc. But they want you to believe that Zik alone arm-twisted all these heavy weights, to decide what should, or should not be in the constitution? Is that really practical? One man decided what will be in the constitution of Nigeria while the British were in control? Get real

I've made the comment many a time, that Nigerians tend to overlook TRENDS.

The Aguiyi Ironsi government STARTED Nigeria down the path to Unitary Rule.

I've explained the Lancaster Conference or Processes at length. Left to Zik and his Igbo voters, even Southern Cameroons would still be part of Nigeria.
