Guy stop running around in circles. Ibos were not the only one that have been victims in the killings. Go dust your history books, read about the the Tiv riot. The middle beltans have also suffered massacres.

Like i asked you earlier; everyone knew that the north was hostile to the south, why then did Nnamdi Azikiwe, an ibo man, form an alliance with the same northerners that have been killing his people ? Because of Greed & lust for power, i guess

mightyhazel:
u keep dodgin my questions u dis boy. Let me spell it out more plainly! In ur first post on dis thread,u asserted wit ur lopsided list dat igbos were the initiators of violence and killings in nigeria,and threfore deserve all d killings they hav been gettin afterwards. But wen I pointed certain facts to u,u changed music,sayin dat killings actually started far back as 1945 by northeners,killing southerners. So my simple question was why do ur like keep spewing those malicious lies dat igbos started ethnic cleansings in nigeria?

2) The Jos riot of 1945 was a politically motivated mob action. The northerners feared southern domination, they never wanted to be in the same country with the south and they opposed this violently. But, again, Nnamdi Azikiwe an ibo man still went to form an alliance with them.

3) the ibo coup of Jan 1966 under the umbrella of a 'revolution' was a planned decimation of political and military leaders of other regions whilst the ibos spared theirs.

4) the ibos greed for power made them allies of the North in the first republic despite the killings in the previous years. The ibos lust for power made them carry out the first coup d' etat in Nigeria

Nigeria risks disintegration, says Akinrinade

By Olayinka Oyebode, Assistant Editor and Emmanuel Oladesu, Deputy Political Editor

FORMER Chief of Defence Staff, Lt-Gen Alani Akin-rinade (rtd), yesterday regretted his role in the 1966 civil war.

He described the sacrifice as a waste of time.

Lt-Gen. Akinrinade said the post-civil war Nigeria was not a country of his dream.

The former Minister of Agriculture warned that the country risked imminent disintegration "unless true federalism is practised." 

The retired officer joined other stakeholders to condemn corrupt practices in the country.

It was at the "New Nigeria Dialogue" organised as part of the activities marking the 55th birthday of the founder of Latter-Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, at Sheraton Hotels, Ikeja, Lagos. 

The ceremony was organised by the International Centre for Reconstruction and Development, a Non governmental Organisation (NGO).

Speakers, including Prof. Ropo Sekoni, Mr. Alfred Ilere, Chief Fred Agbe-yegbe and Mr. Tony Nnadi spoke on the theme: "The Nigerian Federation: Fundamental Flaws and Creative Reforms."

The event, which was chaired by the former governor of Lagos State, Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu (rtd), was witnessed by former Governor Bisi Akande of Osun State, Dr Amos Akingba, Hon. Wale Oshun, Mrs. Jumoke Anifowose, Mr. Tokunbo Ajasin, Mr. Bisi Adegbuyi, Pa Adedapo Adeniran, Mr. Sam Ayedogbon, Mr. George Eke, Shettima Yerima and Mr. Yinka Odumakin.

Lt-Gen Akinrinade and other speakers rejected the 1999 Constitution, saying it was foisted on the country by the military.

To avert the collapse of the fledging federation, he canvassed restructuring of the country along the terms of the component units and a constitution that will promote true federalism.

The former minister said: "We must do constitutionally in Nigeria what Rawlings did in Ghana." 

Reflecting on the journey from independence, Bakare agreed that the prediction about an imminent break-up of the country might be fulfilled "if urgent steps are not taken to address the grievances of the ethnic nationalities. "

He said Nigeria must learn from the disintegration of Soviet Union and Yugoslavia because they could not meet the expectation of the units.

Akande peeped into the future, saying perilous days were around the corner owing to the collapse of schools and health institutions.

Sekoni traced the tragedy of the nation’s federalism to the post-1966 period when the military foisted on the country a centralised system of administration.

Quoting the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, he said: "A multi-ethnic country can only realise its potentials when it embraces true federalism."

Raw truth from elderly Yoruba man
[size=18pt]JUST BEFORE THE DAWN; LET BIAFRA GO, LET BIAFRA BE.
By Okesola Ajibola Olayemi[/size]

The United Kingdom (Britain) consisted of 5 kingdoms in the begining but today, the Welch, the Scotish, the Wales have gone their own ways and independently there are, ditto the old USSR. You dont impose it on people to live as one if they so decided to go, its a marriage of force by Lord Lugard when he (he wont rest in peace) amalgated us as a Nation.
[size=14pt]
I repeat here the Igbos have suffered in this country, let them be. The Yorubas must support the Igbos clarion calls of freedom and self independent for one good reason. The Northern oligacy jailed our revered father and the Asiwaju of the Yorubas by the power that be then. Gen Ironsi was the head of state, late Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu (a war lock and my hero) gave Ironsi so many troubles to release Awo, Gen Gowon then the 2nd in command from the Northern part of this country will not hear a thing of this. Gen Ironsi courtesy of Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu persisted Awo must be released.

Gen Ironsi signed Awolowo released papers and he Gen Ironsi was murdered same day before the papers could reached the then Eastern Governor Odumegwu Ojukwu. He Ojukwu unilataterially release Awolowo and ordered the Eastern Region senior police officers to deliver Awo...the avater to his Ikenne home save and sound. ( Pls see this in Fredrick Froster book entitled 'Emeka' at page 62) For this singular act, i belong to Biafra. My age mates and i were educated free of any charges by the late sage free.

Let the Biafra be and stop shedding their bloods for God sake. The Oracle at West End, Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State, South West Nigeria have spoken.[/size]

The ibos are guilty of the first coup in Nigeria, they terminated our nasceant democracy, ushered in military rule, abolished regionalism, foisted the unitary system on us and also led us into a bloody civil war

OJUcrook:
Yes, you are partially correct. The Jos riot was in 1945 but the ibos were not only the victims of the mayhem, all southerners in Jos were. But despite the hostility the northerners have shown the southerners, nnamdi azikiwe, an ibo man still formed a coalition government with the same northerners, just because of his greed and lust for power

And the list goes on. By the time you read this more would have died. The situation is getting out of hand and the Nigerian government has shown that it lacks the will and the capability to protect the life and property of Igbos in Nigeria.

The killings must stop. If you are Igbo and you are still playing the ostrich, it could be you tomorrow, me, or your loved ones.

Thank u very much for dis right up

If igbos were a sovereign Nations dis killings is enough to go 2 war

It is unfortunate we were amalgamated and d killings continues unabated

Enough is enough

Freeeeeeedom

Or


Nothing.

We will never 4get.

Hausa kill them, Yoruba they hate, very ironical.

mightyhazel:
Killings of igbos predated 1966. Igbos have been killed as far back as 1945 by the northerners.don't act as if d misguided coupists started senseless bloodletting in the country.moreover,col. Arthur unaegbe,a senior militaryman of igbo extraction was also killed in the said coup,but u conveniently skipped dat part. Moreso,yoruba officers like major wale ademoyega and col victor banjo were. Also v major players in the so called 'ibo' coup

KGBKremlin:
Stop spreading yourself across Nigeria since you mind and heart is different from Nigerians.

they already are...poverty, illiteracy, diseases..thats one of the very many ways God punishes them

Nzeogwu, the January 1966 coup leader was a Niger-deltan from Delta-Igbo. And the other ring members are Kpera (Northerner), Ademoyega (Westerner) and Anuforo (Easterner).

N.B: The essence of this information is mainly to expose the lies of the notorious history distortionists and wicked propagandists who insult and malign others continually with lies and falsehood, and shout and make much noise on every available media. This a tribe that is after all well known for being loose cannons. Uncouth, uncivilised and disrespectful set of people who made a career out of abuse and slurs.
The same treacheerous beings who precipitated the January 1966 coup and the 1967-70 civil war with their bloody 'Operation Wetie ' in the SW. They start trouble and heat up the polity only to run cowardly to hide in their evil Soka forest when the jungle matures.
Disciple of hate and propaganda, here are the members of Yoruba tribe that participated in the January 1966 coup:
(See Ben Gbulie: ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors.’).

*Adewale Ademoyega is the most prominent Yoruba participant in the coup, there were other Yoruba officers who were involved at the dangerous execution stage of the coup. One of them is:

*Second Lieutenant Olafimihan, an officer serving under Madiebo in Kaduna. He was sent by the plotters to gauge his commander’s loyalty. (See Madiebo pp.17-18).

*Another is Lieutenant (some books refer to him as a Captain) Fola Oyewole. He, like Ademoyega, went on to fight for Biafra and wrote a book on his coup and wartime experiences. The book’s title is ‘Reluctant Rebel.’ 

*There is also Captain Ganiyu Adeleke who became an instructor in the Biafran Infantry School. For confirmation, see the list of coup plotters detained by Ironsi’s regime in Ademoyega pp.106-108, and this quote from Nowa Omoigui’s online account: ‘Mid-Western Invasion of 1967’: ‘Captain Ganiyu Adeleke, who had taken part in both the January 15 coup and the Mid-Western invasion before becoming an instructor in the Biafran School of Infantry was released at a later date after his co-plotters had been freed.’ Omoigui’s work is significant because, though he exhibits a high level of professionalism in his research, he has no sympathy for the January 15 coup. If his facts corroborate Ademoyega’s they are worthy of attention.

The Igbos have always accepted Awolowo as a great leader but his activities during the civil war shocked them. BY THE OBJECTIVE OF THE JANUARY 15 COUP, as quoted by Odia Ofeimun, the poet, the boys believed he was the greatest leader. 

THE LEADERS OF THE COUP, WERE TO MAKE CHIEF AWOLOWO THE PRIME MINISTER OF NIGERIA. These coup leaders didn't go for Azikiwe or Balewa. They wanted Chief Awolowo as quoted by Odia in a 1999 edition of The Guardian. Awolowo was supposed to be released by the Nzeogwu coup, which didn't have its assumed ending; it was aborted half way. It was Nzeogwu's colleague, Major Nzegwu that was supposed to pick him from Calabar prison and release him. So, I'm proving to you that the Igbo literality have always accepted Awo as one of the best and great leaders the country has ever produced but his activities during the war did not only shock them but betrayed the trust they had in.

you can't blame the Northerners.. they are the ones always at fault most of the time

They dish out what they can't take to others.. it's like the only language they understand cos they find being civil difficult

Hope the Ipob miscreants among them will see this and ditch their silly ideas
