Mbanda:
The big question is, do they control their oil now that they are in Nigeria?

aswani:
Not so much agreed though they themselves fritter away their resource allocation monies.

However, under Eastern Region, they won't see shishi. In fact Biafra would spend a good chunk of its time fighting minority separationists.

They are better if as states in Nigeria than under Biafra.

gidgiddy:
In other words, the Lagos/Ibadan expressway media could not differentiate between centralising the civil service of the Regions, and abolishing the Region's themselves? Really? You guys could not even understand that the 4 Region's maintained their boundaries under Ironsi, as well had resource control?

All you people were thinking about was that an Easterner could be sent to work in the West, a Northerner could be sent to work in the Midwest etc, and this is the Region's being abolished?

No wonder when Gowon desecrated the Aburi agreement by abolishing the 4 Region's with Decree 14, including your own Region, created 12 states, half of which he gave the North, then abolished resource control with Decree 15, you guys jumped and cheered Gowon

Your Region and control of your own resources were being stripped in front of you by Gowon, the North was being proped up with multiple states, and all you people were thinking about is who might be sent to work where?

Chei! God help us

Mbanda:
How do you know all these?
I hate it when people say negative things out of hate.
What benefits have those minority tribes benefited in Nigeria apart from marginalisation and odi treatment?
The gold in zamfara is for the zamfarans alone, but the oil in Niger delta is for the whole Nigeria and their elites.

Ojiofor:
It is obvious Fajuyi the then governor of western region was in support of Ironsi's decree 34 and other policies of his regime.
The Yoruba military officers was in full support and participated in that January 1966 coup but once the table turns against the Igbo nation Yoruba people both in the army switch their allegiance to the victorious North and ndi Igbo became their political enemies and manufactured every possible propaganda for their new friends.
Ironsi's unification decree was unpardonable sin according to Yoruba/Fulani alliance yet they consolidated that decree in the past 58 years.

loffyloffy:
How many SE politician died in the coup?

How many of the officers involved in the coup were prosecuted, by Ironsi, a SEner who became head of state as a result of the coup?

T8ksy:
It will be grossly unfair to attribute Fajuyi's public silence to Ironsi's gratuitous policy aka decree 34 as a sign of support. He instead, refrain from publicly saying anything about it because he knew that , the fall-out from it will consume ironsi. And it eventually did.

How many "yoruba military officers" participated in the Jan15th, 1966 coup, apart from Major Ademoyega who was actually recruited at the last minute? Yeah right, the yorubas military officers were in full support that the jan coup will take out the few top ranking military officers (we have in the military) and our leading politicians as well whilst the igbo ones (both military and civilian) were to be spared or conveniently botched.

There's no doubt that Ironsi's unification decree was an unforgiveable crime to nigerians. After your kinsmen have killed most of the leaders of other regions whilst sparing theirs, Ironsi now wants us all to be united under his rule. which kain craze be that. After , your foot-soldiers have killed off my family , you now want me to see you as my new adopted family to be trusted to look after my interest.

Gowon simply capitalised on the strategy laid out by Ironsi and his kinsmen to dominate the new nation. Karma is truly a bi.t...c..h.
The same tool you invented to oppress and dominate others in the country has now been turned on you. Your Hunter has morphed into the hunted......hahahaha

Ojiofor:
I do not justify the coup for whatever reason.But the North had their revenge coup and killed Ironsi and 300 other Igbo officers.What else do you guys want?

Ikaeniyan0:
Gowon didn't break any agreement by creating Rivers and Cross River state

T9ksy:
Una never jam! Consequently, una go wail till the end of time. You think, na only una get sense, ni? Everybody else (in Nigeria), are dense.

Aburi accord was exactly the opposite of Decree 34 established by Ironsi and which Ojukwu explicitly supported. He even went on air the following day bragging about how he intends to export young graduates from his region to the north to go and fill most of the civil service posts, therein. Ojukwu hailed his kinsman for unifying the civil service with his d.u.mb decree 34.

Meanwhile, both the military governors from the north and the mid-west were opposed to it which they unambigously vocalised to Ironsi and only Fajuyi abstain from articulating his opinion on the controversial policy by his clueless friend, Ironsi.

Now fast forward to Aburi and the same ojukwu that jubilated the centralisation of our civil service now wants a return to regionalism, simply because his kinsman is no more the HOS. What a slimeball!!

Your (smart, sic!) hunter is now, the hunted. Deal with it. Your greed got you to where you are now. If only, you had let the northerners be.

Tochi3:


BATist.


..emptiness, senselessness & hopelessness

DMerciful:
You're deflecting

T9ksy:
Incoherent pleb.

Ojiofor:
Decree 34 was approved by members of supreme military council of which all the military governors were members before it became law.
Fajuyi was Ironsi's closest ally and was in full support of the regime and the reason northern counter coupist marked him together with Ironsi as targets to be killed.

Ikaeniyan0:
I'm not. Ojuku was not happy Gowon bulkanised the Eastern region.

DMerciful:
What has that got to do with honouring an agreement he signed?

T9ksy:
Who were the members of these supreme military that supported Ironsi's decree 34?

Both Katsina and Ejoor wrre opposed to it.

paramakina202:
No they did oppose it.The four regional governors were all in support but just like Aburi accord the opposition to the decree 34 came much later.

T9ksy:
You are a flippin' shameless liar.

T9ksy:
Why do you guys just love to lie, effortlessly?

Ojukwu was the only governor that gave his support to Ironsi's du.mb unification decree.

The bolded part of your post above is a total lie and somehow, ì do believe you know it to be so but your inherent mischief-making propensity got the better of you.

paramakina202:
What did you call it,military regime right?
Military rules by decree....Do you expect the military to run a parliamentary government?
Ironsi did what he have to do as a military leader and Gowon came in and consolidated on the same decree but two faced Yorubas have no problem with that.

T9ksy:
Unfortunately, there was no provision for military rule in the constitution our founding fathers, painstakingly crafted before we got our independence from our colonial master.

Ironsi didn't have to do jackxxxx except the job we appointed him for, which is to protect the new nation from both internal and external aggression. No one asked him to start tapering with our constitution - the same constitution he swore an oath to protect with his life, on assumming office as our GOC.

We all, after much deliberations agreed on Regionalism but itonsi came and with 4months, he is tapering with agreed system of govt.

Ikaeniyan0:
What agreement did he break?

Elusive001:
They won't come to this thread bro.

They cannot face the truth. They are allergic to it. The good thing is that they are having Nigeria of their dreams. Thank GOD that Danjuma and Gowon are alive to witness it.
