If the north like Let them kill all the Igbo.The SE will never vote frog eye.Any igbo who considers it is better dead.My wish now is for obi not to be part of the election. The SE will gladly and be better with the north. T Pain is not even an option.
Let me see the north vote T pain or used again to Rigg election for him.
It is finished. He is the Egyptian we will never see again in 2027.He can put seyi as the governor of lagos.
I will prefer to deal with north than SW.The North I know well make thr stand straight. The other is like snake never straight even while growing up with both.

typical Igbo coward

Are u not proud of your forefathers?
I know u will rather insult me than to come out as Igbo

The worst time to b an Igbo I guess
You that is not a coward. I am igbo/imo.
Why have you not said you state.Why are you ashamed of your state. You know every SW person claims lagos because of level of hunger. So I won't be surprised if you equally claim lagos..lol

How Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu Killed Sir Ahmadu Bello and His First Wife, Hafsatu, and Laughed For the Camera Thereafter



The following persons planned the January 15, 1966 coup:

Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna-Igbo from Eastern Region.
Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu-Igbo from the Midwest Region.
Major Chris Anuforo-Igbo from Eastern Region.
Major Don Okafor-Igbo from Eastern Region.
Major Adewale Ademoyega-Yoruba from Western Region.

Of these people, only Major Adewale Ademoyega did not take part in the killings. Please find below the names and regions of the people they killed, and you decide whether or not the coup was one-sided.

1. Sir Ahmadu Bello-Fulani from Northern Region.
2. Sir Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa-Gere from Northern Region.
3. Samuel Ladokr Akintola-Yoruba from Western Region.
4. Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh-Itsekiri from the Midwest Region.
5. Hafsatu Bello (wife of Sir Ahmadu Bello)-Fulani from Northern Region.
6. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun (Brigadier Ademulegun's wife, who was eight months pregnant)-Yoruba from Western Region.
7. Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun-Yoruba from Western Region.
8. Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari-Kanuri from Northern Region.
9. Colonel Kur Mohammed-Kanuri from Northern Region.
10. Colonel Ralph Shodeinde-Yoruba from Western Region.
11. Lt. Colonel Abogo Lagerma-Marghi from Northern Region.
12. Lt. Colonel James Pam-Jos native from Northern Region.
13. Lt. Colonel Arthur Unegbe-Igbo from Eastern Region.
14. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke-Yoruba from Western Region.
15. Police Constable Philip Lewande-Minority from Northern Region.
16. Police Corporal Akpan Anduka-Efik from Eastern Region.
17. Police Corporal Hagai Lai-Minority from Northern Region.
18. Police Corporal Yohana Garkawa-Minority from Northern Region.
19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo-Minirity from Northern Region.
20. Ahmed Pategi-Minority from Northern Region.
21. Zarumi Sardauna-Minority from Northern Region.

Now, out of a total of 21 people killed by the January 15, 1966 coup plotters, only Lt. Colonel Arthur Unegbe was an Igbo, and the reason he was killed was because he was the QuarterMaster-General, Army Headquarters, Lagos, and therefore was in charge of the armoury.

When Major Chris Anuforo went to his house to demand the keys to the armoury, he refused and was shot. He was NOT on the original list of people to be killed.

Exactly a year ago today, Major Chris Anuforo's daughter emailed me a threat to my life, and I disregarded it but published her email. And then, two days after her threat, a gentleman with an accent that betrayed his accent traced me to my jogging route and threatened me. I am undeterred.

As long as some people keep trying to twist the truth, people like me will expose the facts. And if you kill us, our children will take our place to prevent you from spinning a false narrative.

Now show us the 300 people Murtala Mohammed killed in his own coup and their Regions.

That same Murtala Mohammed was honoured by being put on the N20 Naira note, has Airports, building and highways named after him. His boys he did coup with such as Muhammed Buhari, Sani Abacha, Babangida, T Danjuma etc all went on to become heads os states, billionaires and influential people

The only time Nigerians remember that coup is bad is January 1966 coup, so they can call it Igbo coup. But if you're a Northerner, Nigerians honour you for being a coup plotter

Jokers everywhere grin grin grin

I am a Yoruba

Now to the issue of coward

Let me take u down memory lane n after everything we all will know who is d coward between yorubas n Igbos

3 million Igbos were killed like fowls n still nothing happened, Nigeria moved on.

As if that wasn't enough see how Buhari nearly exterminate u Igbos with

Python dance
Crocodile tears
Still waters
Golden dawn n co with each operation killing at least 500 Igbos n nothing happened.

What did u Igbos do?

When every region needed presidency they brought different ideas n they were given n Igbos brought their n they were beaten

Yoruba brought OPC b had presidency
South south brought militants n had presidency
North brought boko haram n had presidency
Igbos brought ipob n get killed n all their children locked up without any repercussions

See how other tribes are handled b how u Igbo cowards are handled

Imagine wike slapped a whole tribe in broad daylight by rigging election n nothing happened, he even went on live TV to call u social media tribe n nothing happened

Imagine a PDP man dealt with Igbos n he got rewarded by APC, he was rewarded for dealing with Igbos.

Imagine all other warlords of different regions were made kings n given contracts but only Igbo warlords are jailed

Asari dokubo is now a king
Ayiri is now a king
Tompolo had a multibillion naira contract
Gani Adams had a multibillion naira contract

But nnamdiot kanu n ekpa are in different prisons

Oya tell me who the cowards are?
You are correct. One question though, answer truthfully without being abusive, In all these why are the Igbos not allowed by the generality of Nigeria to go their separate way?

Yes three million peoole of our dearest brothers & sisters where murdered & I pray that there innocent souls will rest in peace. Infact there souls are actually resting in the peace.

As a real Nigga from the ND I must have died with them for real during that war because I understood what it must hsve mearnt to be your brithers keeper. No Qualms. If it happens again , my real Niggaz from the ND will be grave diggers. For real.

You are a Yoruba man. You said. I believe that an I respect that. For real. I don't respect cowrds wether you are a yoruba or not.

But you as a person is a coward & a born one for that. This Cowardice transcend not only in you but sadly & regrettabky enough among your ethnic group.

The annals of history in Nigeria politics to this day justify that your ethnic group in the South is the Standard measure for cowardice.

How is it possible that 3 million of our brothers & sisters from the south was massacred without you yoruba in the south do anything but you went ahead to join hands with the " one Nigerianists" of Nigeria to massacre your own close door innocent neigbours.

Do you think that our close door neigbours from the East the Igbos not just instead of looking away but joining hands to massacre over 3 million of their yoruba ckose door neigbours ?

You are happy & proud that you joined hands with those one nigerianists to massacre your closse door neigbours instead of fighting & protect them.

See when it comes to cowardice, the better south know the true born cowards down south. These aree words on the streets & off streets grin grin

Here in the Delta, we don't play second fiddle to cowards. We know the cowards & real Betreuers of the prosperity & develooments of the South. We know why Nigeria is the way it is

We know those who were conquered tbecause they were cowards. Three million of our dear neigbours died because tgey were not cowards. They died believing in what tgey believed in. I respect that so much in the Delta.

You are a yoruba man, concentrate on the sharia panels scattered all over your region created by those who massacred 3 million of our dear neigbours fröm the East.

You dey call a ND coward. A real Nigga for that matter with real Niggaz from the DELTA grin cheesy

I do not blame. You have been making noise calling our neigbours cowards & the ND cowards. No worry. grin cheesy grin
Sometimes, know when you've been trashed and just shoosh abeg!

The hidden truth in the January, 15th coup plot was for millittary to take over from civilian government. The agreement was any civilian that agrees to hand over his territory peacefully, no shooting, no killing.But who refuses to hand over peacefully shoot on sight.The coup plotters dispatch themselves in the three zones of the country then.The Igbo military to go to north to take over. The northern military to the Western Nigeria,and the Yoruba military,to the eastern Nigeria.The Igbo and Yoruba civilian leaders handed over peacefully, hence no casualties. Northern civilian leaders refused peaceful hand over power to military,many of them were killed. Because Igbo military juntas were despatched to the north,it was regarded as Igbo military coup.The second military coup of July 1966,by the northern military junta that claimed the lives of many Igbo military officers were a retaliation in error against Igbo military officers. Col Dim odumegwu Ojukwu the then millitary governor of eastern central states of Nigeria questioned the rationale behind the killing of Igbo military officers unjustly, due to no satisfactory resolution to this issue, Col Ojukwu had no option than to declare state of Biafra which resulted into civil war between 1967 to 1970.
