Gowon quenched a rebellion that last for almost four years. right?
Bros, it was Nigerians that were dying just like Nigerians are dying now.

You justify the deaths and exonerate Gowon who supervised the killings and blamed the man who was resisting the killings. Mind you, before the so called rebellion, Igbos were being slaughtered all over Nigeria, but now, you loath the deaths in the north, exonerate Shekau the murder and blame Jonathan who is resiting the killings.

So you have not heard that Nigerian soldiers are betraying their colleagues, sabotaging their efforts?
Get your facts right, the mutiny was against the commanders who deliberately ill equip their troupes and then deliberately lead them to Boko Haram ambushes.

When Mr President declared state of emergency, what did Northerner leaders like Buhari say? Were they not opposing and tackling hi at every angle?

Let the game continue, but you guys must know that what turns are around will eventually turn around.
The circle of blood had been to the South East, it had touched the South South and is now visiting the North.

Who knows where next?

Shame on all hypocrites.

This is the list of the main actors:

Maj. Kaduna Nzeogwu
Maj. Timothy Onwuatuegwu
Maj. Emmanuel Ifeajuna
Maj. Chris Anuforo
Maj. Don Okafor
Maj. Adewale Ademoyega
Maj. Humphrey Chukwuka
Capt. Emmanuel Nwobosi
Capt. Ben Gbulie
Capt. Ogbu Oji

You can give the world their ethnicity. Also, give us the full list of the people killed by the coupists and let us compare and contrast.

NB: Ezeugo was automatically edited as a typo.

sCun:
So why is Jonathan being blamed now and not Shekau?

eighTHREAD:
so CHUKWUMA nzeogwu is now a niger deltan. When we are talking of oil, niger delta becomes old eastern region which becomes an ibo region but when the talk is about disaster befalling the Eastern region, you remember that the ibos are different from them. Nzeogwu was an ibo man that carried out a coup which killed leaders of other refions except ibo leaders and enthroned another ibo man as president, at the end he was not tried for it cos the ibo man he made president handle the case with kid gloves.

eighTHREAD:
meccuno, tell me the above names don't connote the coup as an ibo coup. Ibos think they are smart that's why they involved a yoruba man thinking that will make people believe it was coup done by all tribes yet they went ahead to spare their one leaders while killing leaders of other tribes including that of the yoruba man who may not have known the true intent of the Coup. No wonder BBC tagged it an ibo coup.

noblezone:
Not exactly, notable northern leaders like Buhari has been o tackles and condemnations of every of his move without making any positive contribution.

Commanders are betraying their troupes, ill equipping them and sending them to ambushes of Boko Haram.
On declaration of state of emergency, notable northern leaders declared,
"You have declared war against the north"

Social miscreants like Amechi and his NGF, opposed it.

APC leaders like Tinubu and Lai also opposed it.

When he muted dialogue and amnesty for Boko Haram, they asked for his head!

How would it had it been, if a cross section of Nigerians opposed Gowon over declaration of war against Biafra.
How would it had been if Nigerian commanders were betraying their troupes into Biafran ambushes?

What of if Gowon was accused of being the brains behind Biafra?

It is all hypocrisy.

eighTHREAD:
stop praying for bad things t o happen cos none will visit SW. I can see you are happy the NE is going through boko haram and the major reason you are supporting GEJ is cos you think he's helping you get revenge. SW were very neutral during the civil war and only intervened when ojukwu took his soldiers to ore in an attempt to liberate yoruba land that wasn't under any invasion. He only wanted to annex lagos. I know you might want to mention awolowo's role. FYI, his role ended the war and was widely sung abroad. Whatever you wish others will befall on you. I believe you guys are gearing for a repeat of 1966 all because of an ijaw man whose tribe betrayed you people and declared your properties abandoned property, something the yorubas never did- a good reason why I believe they were neutral and won't face any ill-luck you wish them. Remember how wole soyinka fought hard vocally for you people and even got jailed for it.

dcaliph:
noblezone sentiments aside, there is no bases for comparing GEJ vrs Shekarau and Gowan vrs Ojukwu.

I would repeat my self again Gowan vrs Ojukwu was a fight between to MEN.

GEJ vrs shekarau is a fight between a boy and a small man.

Just imagime Ojukwu vrs GEJ or Ojukwu vrs shekarau and also Gowan vrs GEJ or Gowan vrs Shekarau.

noblezone ibos rally around Ojukwu because he was a strong man, and the rest of nigerians rally around Gowan because he was a strong mam.

PEOPLE RALLY AROUND THE STRONG NOT THE WEAK, THAT IS WHY THE LION IS THE KING OF THE JUNGLE. GOWAN AND OJUKWU ARE LIONS, DON‘T COMPARE THEM TO THE BOY.

eighTHREAD:
@bold. Are you telling me you know more than BBC? List the names of the coup plotters.

cocoduck:
Take that list to the toilet, that is where it belongs, almost all Nigerian tribes participated, the Igbos being the creme de la creme of the army (almost every sector or Nigeria) is just normal for Nzeogwu to be the leader.

When it comes to anything Africa especially Nigeria, I don't go to the bbc, for example did the BBC let you know that their government supplied Nigeria more arms to fight Biafra than their own army used in the WHOLE of WWII?
Coconut head, it is IGBO not ibo.

hidee20:
for me its because i haven't seen any appreciable change in cubbing the insurgency while lots of taxpayers money is lavished on the president lifestyle and salary.

quid:
Since there is a state of emergency, the governors of Born and Adamawa should step down. This is not the case, these governors remain on seat and refuse to play their roles as "chief security officers".

We are not deceived.

meccuno:
can you list the names of the individuals in the other coups from 1970 till date and tell me why it didn't have ethnic colorations......and why Nigerians didn't take action the way igbos were killed and treated after the 1966 coup

meccuno:
the North is a place where religion is mixed with politics....after the war,they believed that the war was won by them.........a victory against the infidels....they don't even recognise the SW......I know the bad things they say about the yoruba tribe.....not nice....but am really surprised the alliance which exist with the SW and the North.....there are so many examples to show that an alliance with them is just in futility.......the crises happening in the north they can't say they are not aware of it....you can quote me.....any president who is voted massively by the population of Nigerians not supported by the North would create crises.......they are playing games.......Nigeria is backward because of this.......if Nigeria would become a nation and start moving in the right direction,they would be the loosers because most things they got wasn't based on merit....

IGBOSON1:
^^^If we were to list all the atrocities committed by core northern muslims in the army against other Nigerians we will not leave here today! Yet i don't see all these scum.....these Igbo haters hating on them the way they do on Ndigbo! They're now propping up an ex-dictator for president despite all the negativity associated with him!

NAIJASOM:
[b]I am surprised that this thread has lasted this long thanks to noblezone. I personally opened a similar thread earlier this year before the Nairaland virus attack and guess what all Of them Got Quiet. They know themselves.

THE HYPOCRISY HERE IS THE MOST GLARING...............

I have no patience when people cry of Igbo being very aggressive, arrogant and greedy. Igbos have learnt from the painful experience and the hate they suffered from all corners of the country. Now they are fighting back with the ONE NIGERIA game you played on them. Cry me a river for all I care. Igbos have expanded their businesses beyond Nigeria. Go and ask the Chinese, Koreans, Ghanaians, Ivorians, south African etc. SHUTTING DOWN IGBO BUSINESSES in your enclave is the worst you can do but we have grown beyond your wildest expectations. We can finance any war against us and will defeat you fair and square. The powers that supported you in the past HATE you now. Shut up and accept the destiny your grandfathers chose for you. ONE Nigeria forever and ever. AMEN[/b]

eighTHREAD:
so all you want now is for us to vote for GEJ

eighTHREAD:
whatever coup took place after the first was only inspired by the first, ethnic or not.

meccuno:
haba!! How can you say that? The first coup was inspired through afrocentric consciousness......even Nzeogwu never supported biafra......understand this.....they wanted a country not controlled by the super powers....Nigeria had a bright future....but some people were drawing us back......and its still happening today......

eighTHREAD:
so all you want now is for us to vote for GEJ

eighTHREAD:
so nzeogwu had to kill other leaders except ibo leaders. Hmm....tell me another story.

eighTHREAD:
so all you want now is for us to vote for GEJ

meccuno:
please give me a better option.....I was disappointed with the fact that with all the technocrats in the south......and North....SE and SS.....all APC could produce was someone lesser than GEJ.......it only showed that the leadership of APC was playing politics with the future of Nigerians.......the truth is,an igbo man wouldn't even want to see a northerner there not to talk of a northern muslim...... Why? Because they have benefited anything from their government.....remember ojukwu was jailed by buhari without reason........how do you expect them to trust you with such person? I don't blame the igbos for doing this.....what they experienced during the war isn't something u wish for your enemy....but the SW do not understand this fact.....what they do is accuse igbos of being proud,aggresive,get rich or die trying attitude,trying to be smart........but the truth is,those traits brought them to the level they are in.....try to understand where the igbos are coming from before you judge or criticise.....thanks

meccuno:
if Nzeogwu was assigned those igbo people, they would all be killed......he was born in the North so he was better suited to the north because he was fluent in hausa......Nzeogwu never supported the biafra war....
