He supposed to take over after Abacha. He settled for oil blocks rather than power. One of the major reasons we are in a democratic mess today. |

happney65:* Gowon did not prosecute Nzougwu because quickly ran to join the Biafran army * Also, na this mumu burial be full military burial with honours for your eye? * The reason Nzougwu was buried in Kaduna was because Ahmadu Bello (who adopted him) had northernised him and it was Ahmadu Bello who helped him to use a northern slot to enter the army and Kaduna was his official state of origin in the army records. Though Chukwuma Nzougwu betrayed Ahmadu Bello and the the entire north, his army records still carry Kaduna till this day

Lanruze:See as you just dey manufacture lies upandan * Only saw the documents that Nzougwu saw all the way in Kaduna but no one saw the documents in Lagos which was the capital of Nigeria at that time * Awolowo did not have any contact with Nzougwu at any time * Kola Alapinni's Police Investigation nailed Aguyi-Ironsi and was one of the catalyst that lead to the northern revenge coup 6 months later * Ahmadu Bello so called Islamisation was an Igbo creation just the way you guys claimed Tinubu was about to Islamise Nigeria just before the 2023 presidential elections |

This man bankrolled Obi, thinking that Obi would win. Him and Obasanjo mobilised huge resources for Obi and unfortunately, it didn't go their way. If Obi had won, he would have been the de facto kingmaker. |

Hi stuffs2002:This one is clearly not well. |

y Bluntemperor:I understand your point and it's a fact that the political class and elites from the Niger Delta are deeply involved in the oppression or marginalisation of the region because the huge amount of money they receive monthly cannot be accounted for in terms of commensurate development. Thus. they can't complain when part of their people's commonwealth becomes gifts for others. |

I've always felt that he bears an uncanny similarity/resemblance somewhat to the late Deinde Fernandez. |

stuffs2002:Can you please, shed more light on your statement, above. How is Ahmadu Bello's Northernisation policy, a creation of the igbos? |
| Re: Theophilus Danjuma Celebrates His 88th Birthday Today by stuffs2002: 6:18pm On Dec 09, 2025 |
T9ksy:I meant Islamisation. I am sorry for the mistake and I have corrected it in my post |

Lanruze:He had a hand in almost all the Coup in Nigeria, he wasn't really interested holding political positions that's why he was rewarded/compensated with an oil block. |

He is a great man. I served in his state and loved the attitude of his people. Happy birthday to you sir! |

The man that was allocated the most lucrative oil block in Niger delta without raising a spade. |

stuffs2002:ha okay, so its islamisation and not northernisation policy. But how was his islamisation policy, a creation of the igbos? May I suggest, you take a cursory look at Ahmadu Bello's independence speech on Oct. 1st 1960. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.nairaland.com/1977382/sir-ahmadu-bellos-statement-made&ved=2ahUKEwjj2eCF27KRAxVUWUEAHWBxN60QFnoECCQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0cQTQ4ZgB2N8VF6_5kpLgG |

T9ksy:Where is your proof that Ahmadu Bello made that statement? Nnamdi Azikiwe could have written that statement and attribute it to Ahmadu Bello We know the kind of malicious lies have been telling about northerners and other parts regions for many years. Example of such lies are:- 1) Tafawa-Balewa was a goro selling illiterate who could not speak English yet the British still handed power to him and he always needed Azkiwe to translate English to Hausa for him 2) Buhari was dead and that a clone called Jubrin from Sudan was used to replace him in Asso Rock 3) Peter Obi won the elections but it was stolen from him 4) All Igbos are billionaires |
