Until Nigeria 🇳🇬 as a country apologize to the Igbos, this country will keep being on a bumpy ride...



Good one from Plateau State, peace will surely return to you.
Who's apologizing for leaders of other regional leaders killed by Igbo coupists?

This governor is up to something
Politicians worldwide can't resist being deceptive. What exactly does he mean they were "tricked" to fight Igbos? Declaration of Biafra was an act of treason Nigeria had to move to quell.

He is talking nonsense because what Igbos did, i.e announcement of secession, was against the constitution of Nigerian and every non-Igbo had no choice but to fight for Nigeria.

If you are fighting someone who has committed a crime, and are on the right side of the rule of law, how were you "tricked" when we all know wrongdoers must be accosted and punished? Nigerian politicians should learn to remain silent.

But the governor did the right thing, or don't you know that many tribes were cajoled and tricked into joining the war against Igbos?

That's a conscious soul.

He knows the implications of running around in circles with karma baggages and is trying very hard to liberate himself and his people.

How I wish all these short sighted people who are building on no foundation at all will learn one or two things from you.

EkoIle1:
It is now abundantly clear that President Jonathan has finally bared his fangs confirming what was widely speculated. By declaring a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, he has intimidated and emasculated the governors of these States. We are witnessing a dangerous trend in the art of governance and a deliberate ploy to subvert constitutional democracy.

The body language of the Jonathan administration leads any keen watcher of events with unmistakable conclusion of the existence of a surreptitious but barely disguised intention to muzzle the elected governments of these states for what is clearly a display of unpardonable mediocrity and diabolic partisanship geared towards 2015.

Borno and Yobe states have been literally under armies of occupation with the attendant excruciating hardship experienced daily by the indigenes and residents of these areas. This government now wants to use the excuse of the security challenges faced by the Governors to remove them from the states considered hostile to the 2015 PDP/Jonathan project.

Let me be quick to say that this administration will be setting in motion a chain of events the end of which nobody can predict. Experience has shown clearly that actions, such as this one under consideration, often give root to radical ideologies and extremist tendencies, a direct opposite of the intended outcome of unwarranted and unintelligent meddlesomeness. The present scenario playing out in the country reminds one of the classical case of a mediocre craftsman who continually blames the tools of his trade for his serial failure but refuses to look at his pitiable state with a view to adjusting.

It has become crystal clear, even to the most incurable optimist, that the country is adrift. That the ship of the Nigerian state is rudderless is clearly evident in the consistent and continual attacks ferociously executed by elements often referred to as the insurgents in some northern states of the federation, particularly Borno and Yobe states respectively.

Indeed, no part of the country is immune from the virulent but easy attacks, veritable indices of a failing state. Unfortunately, the tenuous and uncoordinated approach adopted by this government betrays a grossly incompetent disposition which stands at variance with current realities in the country, nay the international community where acts of terrorism are engaged and contained. No Governor of a state in Nigeria is the Chief Security Officer. Putting the blame on the Governors, who have been effectively emasculated, for the abysmal performance of the government at the centre which controls all these security agencies, smacks of ignorance and mischief.

Wickedfacts:
Listen and listen good.

In 2031, Tinubu wants to handover to a Northern Christian. The North-Central haven't produced a President since Gowon, apart from Niger which produced IBB. He will pair the ticket with an Igbo man as VP. Now, the ticket will either go to a Christian from Kwara, Plateau, Benue, Kogi, Niger or maybe Taraba. There will be a lot of overtures from the North-central Governors to the SE in the next few years.

The SE Governors are aware of this and that is why they have been falling over themselves to shine Tinubu's shoe. All of them have dissociated themselves from Obi and this includes Otti. They want to run as VP and it is Tinubu who will pair the ticket.
Lol

Sincerely you make sense for real but you sound extremely stew-pid comparing the nonsense th bitch called Putin doing to Ukrain so for that reason your post carried no weight and too low for a sense.

And the Igbos were tricked and are still being tricked to fight Nigeria. It took two to fight, we remember history.
Tell us, how did Igbos fought Nigeria? Igbo declared Biafra and Nigeria declared war on Igbos. Who shot the first shot? Igbos or Nigeria?

Kushites:
SHUT UP AND STOP LYING.

OJUKWU THE MILITARY DICTATOR HAD NO RIGHT TO ANNEX THE NIGER DELTA FOR IGBOS ALONE TO CORNER THE OIL AND GAS RESOURCES BELONGING TO ALL NIGERIANS.

AND IF ANYONE TRIES IT AGAIN IN THE EAST TODAY, THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN.

SELFISH PEOPLE.
The same southerners were attacked by the Northerners.

Annexing the south was the protect it's people from their bloodthirsty attackers.


Heres a little bit of education for you.

Dalohad:
The Igbos fought a largely defensive war of biological, political and sociocultural survival. They wanted to be on their own (and we know many still do).

If they had capitulated without resistance when Gowon's Sojas fired the first shot at Garkem, there would have been a Fulani Emirate in Enugu as you have in Yorubaland.

There is a reason why Boko Haram and ISWAP elements have sleeper cells all around SW, and can successfully kidnap 50 students and teachers for months in the heart of Yorubaland but wouldn't dare such in the East.

They'd stick out a like a sore thumb in the East and have no where to hide. They know it.

I don't have to spelt out everything for you. Go figure..
The Criminal Code Act, which has contained provisions on treason and treasonable felony since Nigeria inherited it from the colonial-era Criminal Code has been in force since before independence and continued after independence in 1960 (with amendments over time).
Under the Criminal Code, treason generally involves levying war against Nigeria, assisting enemies at war with Nigeria, or attempting to overthrow the government by force.
Treasonable felony covers acts such as forming an intention to remove the President or a state governor by unconstitutional means or preparing to use force against the government, even if treason itself is not completed.

Understood?

d way some of u guys reason eh....like u were there during d war to even know which side started it....here's a governor far older than u, telling u how they were deceived but I trust ur type n d hatred for Igbos now....it will consume u one day
By my calculations, even the governor should be quiet on this matter because he couldn't possibly know anything about what happened.
Gowon is his brethren, he should allow him to do the talking
