You heard, but you never saw. How about the the circulars the Ibos printed, can we get a copy.

I have a copy of Zik"s Newspaper West African pilot published in 1959. Can we at least see a copy the fliers Ibos printed to mock Sarduana in 1966? Show evidence. Why did the BBC (who were anti-Ibos and even fueled the pogrom due to economic interests) not publish it?

See, nothing fit make me hate Ibo. I used to dislike them until I studied Nigeria very well. A lot of unlettered hateroids buffoons run amok in this country. Are you one of them?

👍

GMIS:
because of a coup that happened by some senior Military men. It was referred to a Whole Tribe?

See, you need to look at things holistically. Prior to the coup, an ethnic group in Nigeria was recognized by other ethnic groups in the same enclave as having a supremacists and expansionist ideology which was regularly touted by a certain leader of that ethnic group, identified as Zik. Infact, Zik said in a newspaper publication that the Ibos were primed to rule the rest of Africa. Imagine making such a careless statement in a country, albeit, a continent with a myriad of cultures and ethnicity? This mentality was objectified by the activities of this same ethnic group in that, despite trailing behind the Western region in all things, they had the highest number of personnel in the federal civil service, most senior army officers, highest number of VCs in Nigerian Universities, and the list goes on. They dominated everywhere. This was not because the Ibo had the most talented peoples. It was simply because of nepotism and graft fueled by the Zikist agenda. He was so greedy that he attempted to become the Premier of the Western region. He was booted out by Yorubas. Zik then went back to the Eastern region to unseat the Premier who was an Ibibio man and installed himself as Premier. Zik later became president and he used all his resources to fight Awolowo after even betraying the latter. He used his position as president to make the aforementioned nepotism and graft an endemic which propelled his ethnic group to the forefront. The other nationalities saw this but kept quiet, not until a coup was executed by predominantly Ibo officers. The coup was unnecessarily bloody. Top ranking Yoruba and Northern officers were killed. Somehow, Ironsi and other Ibo officers were spared. The Premiers in the North and West were killed. But somehow, Michael Okpara, the Eastern Premier went on vacation moments before they struck. The Prime Minister, Balewa, was killed, but somehow, Azikiwe, the president went on vacation a day before the coup. So who is fooling who? Then Ironsi took over and instead of meting out justice on the coup plotters, he kept them in a lounge in Dodan Barracks, pretending to imprison them. Instead of executing Zik and Okpara, to make the equation balanced, he went about imposing a decree that concentrated all powers to himself. As if that wasn't enough, Ibo residents and traders in the North, in their characteristic arrogance, disrespect and disdain for their hosts anywhere they go, even up till date, started mocking the Northerners, making jest of their killed leaders (the Sadauna and the Prime Minister) and drawing their caricatures with a goat head. They mocked them to their faces and bragged about their now established dominance in Nigeria. That was what culminated to the bloody retaliation from the North which Ibos can never forget till today.

Horseshit!

This hate-driven lie of ‘Igbo greed and domination’ may have flown in the 60s, 70s, 80s and even 90s, but discerning and neutral observers now have the benefit of hindsight to know just who the greedy and domineering ones are! Try another gimmick!

DomPerignon:
Nobody is interested in your loyalty if you are not Ibo as you claim.

You are free to go and join them to fight against Nigeria and for Biafra.


Who needs idiots like you sef. You are better suited in the camp of those rampaging knuckle dragging cannibals.

Hope you saw how one of their cannibal reps here on this thread mentioned and insulted you over what you posted here?

Be the useful idiot if you may but have it in the back of your mind that Biafraism is Ibo expansionism.

You go get sense one day.

I am doing well today because I have a no hate against anyone, while nincompoops like you will continue to remain down the totem-pole of human development.

Tell yourself, can you compare yourself with a Medical professional who is also a PhD and an Associate professor with an American University? Yes, an Ibo Professor wrote me the recommendation letter that got me the international appointment. Now, do you even level up to my smallest toes? Think.

We all saw how one of our Yoruba professors from Ekiti went to Imo State to rig elections for APC and destroy the state. Sometimes later he was begging a US-based Ibo professor for recommendation letter so that he can 'Japa' via EB-2 visa.

In the local parlance, I daresay 'Men dey', even for here on NL. You are wasting away promoting hatred, while others are forging ahead building trans-ethnic and international connections.

Go think about your life..

T9ksy:
Op, am not trying to hold btief for the perpetrators of that dastardly act in kano in1966 however, i can bet my bottom dollar that these guys don't give a flying ph.o.c.k whether you forget or not.

My point is, wtf are you igbos gonna do about it? Remember, last time you attempted to do something about it, you went on to lose 3 millions more........

Apart from wailing and gnashing of teeth, whatesle can you all do?

See, they never even lost up to that number. What we fail to recognize is that the Eastern region of then comprised of other ethnic nationals that makes up the SS and parts of middle belt of today, apart from Ibos. I am talking about the Ibibios, Anangs, Ogoja, Ika, Ijaw, Igala, Idoma and so on. These peoples were mostly affected by the war but Ibos are acting as if they were the only ones affected. The Ibos actually oppressed and dominated these groups, forcing them to join Biafra army and killed so many of them within the Eastern region during the war. Their elders will tell you about the atrocities of Ibos during the war. They entered the Mid West and massacred Binis, Esan, Urhobo, Ikwere and Isoko peoples, forcefully occupying their space. Yet the Ibos have been crying like they were the only victim of the war. They tried to dominate but failed and everything boomeranged on them.

gidgiddy:
But Igbos were being massacred in the North long before that. Google the 1945 Jos Massacre and the 1953 Kano massacre

The Kano riot of 1953 refers to the riot, which broke out in the ancient city of Kano,[1] located in Northern Nigeria, in May 1953. The nature of the riot was clashes between Northerners who were opposed to Nigeria's Independence and Southerners, made up of mainly the Yorubas and the Igbos who supported immediate independence for Nigeria. The riot that lasted for four days claimed many lives of the Southerners and Northerners and many others were wounded. The last straw that broke the camel's back was the tour by a delegation of the AG and NCNC led by Chief Samuel Akintola. That tour which was aimed at campaigning for self-government acted as the immediate cause of the Kano riot. It sparked off a chain of disorder that culminated in the riot. The riot took place at Sabon Gari an area predominantly occupied by southern Nigerians.
(Culled from Wikipedia)

The 1945 Jos riots were a series of ethnic conflicts which occurred in the city of Jos, located in Plateau State, Nigeria, between ethnic Igbos and Hausa-Fulani.

The 1945 Jos riots were fueled by a combination of factors, including competition for political power, economic resources, and disputes over land and religious differences. The conflicts have mainly been between the predominantly Muslim Hausa-Fulani ethnic group and the predominantly Christian Igbo ethnic group, although other groups have also been involved.

Misconceptions:
Contrary to popular beliefs the 1945 Jos riots was a potato market riot,[1] and not a massacre or religious war. Though the death toll is unknown, multiple reports put the figure of not more than two people dying.[2]

(Culled from Wikipedia).

Stop spreading lies and making it an Igbo thing alone.

DomPerignon:
Well it didn't help you guys by mocking the murder of prominent northerners like the PM, Sarduna and military officers of northern extraction.

I heard Ibos in Kano went about telling their northern hosts that they were now fully in charge of the country.

There was even a record released celebrating the murder of the Sarduna.

Ibos even printed and circulated banners and calenders mocking the Sarduna being slaughtered with Kaduna Nzeagwu portrayed as Angel Micheal standing over a dead Sarduna that was depicted as Satan.

You brought this to yourselves.


But let's not ignore that Ibos also began murdering northerners in the occupied Midwest and across Biafra. The Ibos also systematically were murdering and genociding entire minority people in both the Midwest and occupied coastal lands of Biafra.

You were no saints.

What happened was simply instant karma in the form of FAFO (Fck Around , Find Out).

I used to have some pity for you guys over what transpired in the north but the hidden atrocities you committed on my people in the SS has made me come to realise that whatever the northerners did to you was justified.

And from the fact that it's only Aboki you guys no dey carry Una madness join body shows you only understand violence to reset your brains.

Guy, you're up-to-date with your history.😉

gidgiddy:
Just goes to show the catastrophic mistake it was for the British to have created Nigeria, and why we all should have gone our seperate ways long time ago

At least Zik should have known that before completely scuttling every attempts to make provisions for secession in the constitution which would have paved an easy way for a quiet break away. His fake nationalism was actually a supremacists agenda.

Yes he Zik should have known that Nigeria would never work, but it is not for the present generation to continue the mistake he made. We should dissolve and go our seperate ways, we don't need secession clause for that, there was no unity clause before the British merged us together

IduNaOba:
Comments like yours are a beautiful reminder to our igbo brothers who have hope in Nigeria 🤣.

What will the igbo people do about it?
Time shall tell 🙂

Already we have surpassed every region in the country by all positive indices that's one.
As for what the future holds for ndigbo, let time reveal it.

It is always this baseless bragging, braggadocios and chest beating borne out of acute delusions. That is always the problem.

gidgiddy:
Emergency lovers of Igbo people 😆 🤣

You guys will cry when we leave this long failed British colony called Nigeria for our new independent country

How? Do you think you are important? Let's see who will cry when you leave for your 5 plots.

tungamaje:
Okay, we no go learn our history again just like Ilorin people. I think you are now happy?

In your feeble mind, you've scores a point, abi? 😝😝😝😝

gidgiddy:
Then admit you can't do without Igbos. If you could, allowing them to go their way wouldn't be a problem

You have cognitive dissonance o. Because if not, you should have understood that he has told you to go back to your land locked ancestral homes but leave the SS out of it. Now do you understand?

Ok. Whatever makes you happy. But history will not change for you. That you're not well informed about your past is not anybody's fault. 😉

AntiZikist:
The original plan was only to liberate old mid western region and minority areas of the old eastern region.

It was your parasitic elites led by Azikiwe that lobbied Gowon to bring you back.

The case of Ojukwu going absolutely mad in seeing Sabos everywhere in his own cabinet and army proves that you Ibos sabotaged your Biafra when the SS was liberated from your Biafra.

You had a golden opportunity to leave Nigeria by negotiating an end to the war after the Niger Delta areas were liberated but instead of doing that you went back to meet Gowon to bring you back to Nigeria and help drive the drunkard philandering Ojukwu out .

Gowon being a super minority in the minority groups in the north, agreed to allowing you back because he and his fellow middlebelt Christian officers saw a bigger Nigeria as a check mechanism to the Fulani Islamic agenda.

I dare you now to do the right thing via your elected leaders and legislators and see if anyone from outside your yeast will oppose the secession of Biafra .

All this your Biafra agitation online and it's terrorist offline activities targeting your own people is all a ruse as we both know from obi's presidential bid that you guys are not ready and will never ever be ready to leave Nigeria. So save your bullshit Biafra crap for the idiots you scam regularly to contribute money for your dead end Biafra scam.

😝😝😝😝

gidgiddy:
It's funny how unity beggars go back 60 or 70 years ago to find reasons to protect their useless 'one Nigeria' that has never worked

So now we are the unity beggars. Whether you like it or not, you're an extension of your history and we will continue to shove it down your throat. It's convenient for you to not forget the 1966 massacre of Ibos and their bitter defeat in the civil war but the other parts should be forgotten by us, abi? Hypocrisy.

IGBOPROMISE1:
….As if they actually needed any ‘reason’ to go out on the streets looking for Igbo to hack and butcher to death! Any Igbo that still feels safe and comfortable sharing the same country with two ethnicities in particular (one in the north and the other in the south) needs to have their head checked! Naive peeps see the bile and vitriol aimed at Ndigbo on this forum, and think it’s just play or banter!

It is what you give that you will receive. Law of karma. Capishe?

Iceberg3 na my paddy. He's Igbo.

He's confessed he would do anything to become Yoruba... even receive tribal marks.

I laugh tire that day. I told him to choose from this image.

In your derision, you included Northerners in your pictures.

Goosethetruth:
Stop telling lies...
In 1966 before the civil war, Ibos consistently slaughtered Hausa/Fulanis living in the Eastern region. In some instances as first attack to stop the Hausa/Fulanis from escaping back to the North. In other cases as retaliation. In fact the Ibo gave as good as they got in blood shedding.
There are so many testimonies of witnesses at the Oputa panel of Ibo genocidal attacks on fleeing Hausa/Fulanis.

They never admit to anything but always cry wolf. They have long pushed the victimhood narrative in Nigeria while cleverly hoping that the rest of Nigeria forget the role they played. They are a very dangerous people. Very, very dangerous.

Tochi3:


..BATist..

..lower breeds..who have been forced by the sword by Turban wearing head slammers from jalon...cant sight the moon in their presence..speaking like a slave to higher breeds..

..don't worry when esn start dealing with your masters..you will start crying on their behalf..on how some people are killing others..

The moment you entered this thread, sanity escaped.

Killerofpigs:
The most insecure tribe in NIGERIA are YORUBA.

IGBOs want BIAFRA and they are seriously working towards it. Yoruba are shouting 1 NIGERIA foolishly...

Clinging to unity with who they hate .

Who is the coward and nuisance here?

Seriously working towards what? If Hoebee was president today, so you think we will hear pim? Guy, wake up. Nobody is a fool anymore.

zoedew:
They have forgotten!

No. They're banking on we forgetting as they're masters at concealing the truth.

Killerofpigs:
Fulani..the strongest ethnic group in the North fear IGBOs like Kilode.



Fulani Children killed 3 OBAs in your worthless OYO State. You kept mute and started looking for IGBO news to divert the untold shame..

Pathetic ...

You don't even have your story right. Besides, what we are doing here is debunking a thread that one of yours started.

zoedew:
Pathetic. The paradigm has not shifted!

Will it ever shift? Same pattern since 1945. And same wotowoto results too.

Tochi3:


...BATist..Go whisper illorin to your masters...

Remember how big the old Eastern region was? Oh, maybe your ancestors didn't tell you. Now you're reduced to 5 barren landlocked states, yet your problem is a small town in Kwara state heavily populated by Yoruba Muslims with a Fulani Emir. See your life?

Killerofpigs:
Using words you don't even understand the meaning of.

Why do all of you YORUBA people like exposing sophisticated illiteracy?

Paradigm shift..keee you dia..

Nonsense

Yet you feel intimidated and inadequate because of the simple word "paradigm".

Seunmsg1:

Negro. Mind your business

chiagozien:
And why are Yorubas not blaming the whole north for killing of their people by fulanis herdmen?




Even your Lt Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi that was killed by northern soldiers, you people change the narrative claiming your brother asked Northerners to kill him.

Instead of confrontating those that killed their brother

He got what he deserved by associating with a scum like Ironsi who was pieced with bullets.

chiagozien:
Their fivk have been treated that's why they can't attack Igbos in North,if not by now Israel and Hamas war is enough reason to attack innocent Christians in North which Igbos are in majority.


The reason you yoruba keep insulting and attacking Igbos is because we have not put you in your place.
