Interesting… what are your thoughts on Kaduna Nzeogu? Or whatever his name was.
like every other boundary state, especially those that are primarily homogenous states in terms of tribe, you have mixed tribes who are indigenes in boundaries of other states inhabitated by other tribes. For example, ohosu/ Okwada are boundary areas between Benin and Yoruba, between auchi, ighara and kogi, you find mixed tribes who are indigenes there. The etsako people, ebira, Igala are indigenes there,also in parts of kogi bordering Edo state. Same goes for delta and anambra.there are some igbo indigenes between isele uku and anambra, same way we have some kwale people in delta central, some isoko indigenes in delta north.nzeogwu was from okpanam, a supposed boundary with east, a predominantly igbo zone

Ojukwu rejected Decree 8 which Gowon issued in fulfilment of Aburi because he wanted to conquer and be Emperor of all Southern Nigeria


Greed finished Ojukwu's Biafra

Were Midwest and the Western Region Also Biafra?

Why was Ojukwu's letter to Col Banjo talking about taking over Yorubaland?

Reason it out!

What was Ojukwu's Army looking for there?

Ok
Just listen to Azikiwe una Father.
Did Azikiwe una father lie about Ojukwu and his henchmen?

Did Azikiwe lie when Azikiwe told you his own flesh and blood that Ojukwu had blindfolded and hoodwinked all of you into fighting a War?

To hoodwink means to deceive!!


Azikiwe is here telling his people that Ojukwu deceived them into fighting a War.
Azikiwe was an insider!!
Just look at the agony and pain for his
people in his face as he was battling
to save them!!


Ojukwu refused to listen to Azikiwe's plea and after this speech at least another half a million precious souls who could have been saved and lived perished.


Let Ohaneze admit that what Ojukwu presented at Aburi was almost the same as the Regional Autonomous system the British had brilliantly designed and which Gen Ironsi had destroyed with Ojukwu's full and eager support

Haba fear God Almighty na!!

The guy in this video is very ignorant. He keeps saying that Ojukwu rejected decree 8 and didn't attend the meeting in Benin city, as if these were the issue. Yes Ojukwu was not happy with Decree 8 because he did not feel it fully implement what was agreed at Aburi, but Decree was not the problem

The real problem, and what directly led to the conflict was Gowon's Decree 14 and 15. Less than two months after Decree 8, Gowon issued Decree 14 and 15 on the same day. Decree 14 abolished all 4 Rwgions, created 12 states to replace them, half of which were given to the North

Decree 15 abolished resource control. Even Gowon knows that if it were Ojukwu that issued these two terrible decrees, it would cause war

The Regions and their Powers were also completely abolished by Ironsi
that was why Ironsi was able to Order
Maj Katsina Gov of the North to not to attend PM Balewa and Sardauna's funerals even after his own Army boys killed them making it look as if they were Fugitives meanwhile Ojukwu as Gov of the East organised and attended Gen Ironsi's own funeral

You and the guy should go and educate your selves by googling Gowons Decree 14 and 15. If Ironsi had abolished the 4 Regions, Gowon would not have had to do it all over again with Decree 14. Ironsi met 4 Regions that were controlling their resources, he left 4 Regions controlling their resources. What the 4 Region's did not have under Ironsi was democracy as it was military rule

Gowon came in and met 4 Regions that controlled their resources, and left 12 states, none of which controlled their resources

It was this shameful act of Gowon of using Decree 14 and 15 to destroy the 4 Regions, created 12 states, sieze their resources, which went against everything agreed at Aburi, that directly led to the civil war
