"What sort of silly questions are you asking
now after over 45 years of the promised 3Rs
by the FG?
You think your silly propaganda can work?
Never!
Go worry about the misery of your people.
And stop ranting about the Igbos.
Igbos simply desire a separate existence
from lazy ass-lickers, parasites, treasury
looters, never-do-wells and imperialists. Let
that fact sink fast."

Several opportunities came for Igbos to free themselves and indeed the South from lazy ass lickers, parasites, treasury looters, never-do-wells and imperialists, but Igbos ignored all those opportunities because they too wanted a fraudulent one Nigeria which would offer them an opportunity to loot the treasury, parasitize on everyone else, lord it over others, etc.
Was it not an Igbo man, Aguyi Ironsi, that centralized the treasury in pursuit of his intention to have every region's revenues in one single purse so as to make it easier for Igbos to loot every other region without necessarily going to contest elections in those other regions again, and also to afford them a bigger loot from a combined purse?
If Aguyi Ironsi had successfully seen his unitary system through and established a perpetual Igbo control over the centre as he and Azikiwe planned in their fraudulent nationalist acclaim, would the Igbos have today been "desiring a separate existence
from lazy ass-lickers, parasites, treasury
looters, never-do-wells and imperialists"? Because you were beaten to your game and driven far away from the centre after you centralized the purse you suddenly realize you desire a separate existence from parasites, arse lickers, etc? Was there any separate existence better than the regional federalism which you dismantled in pursuit of your hidden and selfish agenda?
Why would the FG implement the three Rs while you already claim that after the war you have recovered so fast that you have become the richest and have overtaken all other regions to their envy? You claim you've done the 3 Rs all by yourselves, so why ask the FG to do it for you again?

Deadlytruth:


Exodus 22:20 refers to only Israelites who worshipped another God and not non-Israelites. In fact just in the next verse the same God says, "Do not ill-treat foreigners (who definitely were worshipping other gods); remember that you were foreigners in Egypt". That tells you that it displeases God to see an Israelite worship another god while a He overlooks and even protects foreigner worshipping his god since he can't be blamed for his ignorance. But for the Israelite he has no excuse of being ignorant of the true God.
Please read the verses before and after that portion so as to appreciate the context in which God was speaking to Moses there.
No response to the the quote above . When it suits Christians(and Muslims) they talk of context .If we can talk of context in one we must do so in the other. The Quran was "revealed" over 23 years and there is a context to every "revelation" as an African I just choose not to believe either Quran or Bible after reading them both SEVERAL TIMES which is more than most Christians or Muslims can claim to have done. If you read those books from cover to cover then no way will you believe that they are from any god worth worshipping.

The fact is Mohammed borrowed most of his ideas from the bible and you will understand them better when you understand the Middle East culture. There are SEVERAL genocidal and infanticidal commands from Jehovah in the Bible. Clearly Jehovah is very blood thirsty. Jehovah tells us
For I, the LORD, do not change; Malachi 3:6

so do not try that "old testament" yarn

You are still ranting carelessly with your wicked lies and evil propaganda just because a people have chosen to have a separate existence from lazy ass-lickers, parasites, treasury looters, never-do-wells and imperialists. You will soon cry blood and I shall help plunge you into more misery to your shame.

Remember how your elites, professors of lies and lying lawyers were nowhere to be found when Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano, revealed the truth about the notorious liars and history distortionists by declaring, "YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA".

Aguiyi Ironsi used a quasi-unitary system of government to save the country from the looming anarchy after the January 15, 1966 coup. It was meant to be temporal and Aguiyi Ironsi or his people never gained any undue advantage over other ethnic.

AGUIYI IRONSI DID NOT DISSOLVE THE REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS OR RESOURCE CONTROL; GOWON WITH THE COLLUSION OF AWOLOWO DID! 

An Igboman Emeka Ojukwu spearheaded the Aburi agreement in which fiscal federalism and even confederation was adopted, but the other Nigerian, including Awolowo and Enahoro kicked against it. That is why fiscal federalism has not been experienced in this nation since then.

In 1972 Gowon and Awolowo proceeded to enact and enforce the Indigenization decree which led to the collapse of the Nigerian economy.
To add insult to the festering injury Olusegun Obasanjo promulgated the Land Use Decree (now Land Use Act) in 29th of March, 1978.

By the provision of the Land Use Decree of 1978, the inhabitants of the oil producing communities were turned into squatters in their own ancestral homes, as land where oil is explored, produced, transported and stored were decreed to belong to the state long after political independence in 1960. The existence and application of the Land Use Act of 1978 contributed to the present state of neglect, under-development and the insecurity of the region.


And for over 45 years, your subsequent governments refused to repeal the evil laws and entrench true practice of federal system of government. And the so called loud-mouthed tribe that termed themselves as 'sophisticated' were in power for over 11 years and would rather sit on the fence than have the evil polities eliminated!

Gowon, Awolowo, Ejoor, Adebayo, Mobolaji Johnson, Katsina, Wey and all the groups that supported and advised the Federal Government of Nigeria to renege on the accords agreed upon in Aburi, Ghana were responsible for the 1967-70 Civil War, alongside their murderous kinsmen who killed innocent Easterners in revenge for an act done by a misguided group of soldiers comprising both Southerners and Northerners.



Here is a list of some of your greedy kinsmen who looted and ruined the fortune of this country. And this is your idea of 'One Nigeria' where you persistently rob Peter to perennially pay parasitic Paul, and still continue to spill innocent blood to maintain the status quo in the polity.

simtosul post:
The question here really is the role these men
and women played in the current state of
Nigeria.
The List of Top 20 Most Corrupt Nigerian
Leaders (dead/alive) below:

1. Oluesgun Obasanjo – He stole $25
billion from 1999-2007 ($16.4 from power
sector alone)

2. Ibrahim Babangida – He stole $15 billion
from 1985-1993 ($12.4 billion from oil wind
fall in 1990)
3. Abdulsalam Abubakar – He stole $9
billion from 1998-99
4. Sani Abacha – He stole $7 billion from
1993-1998
5. Ahmed Bola Tinubu – He stole and
continues to steal from Lagos State treasury
since 1999 till date. It’s estimated that he
has stolen $6 billion so far.
6. Muhammadu Buhari – He stole $2 billion
from NNPC accounts in the ’70s and the
money was traced to Midland bank (now
HSBC), London. Under his watch as PTF
Head, N25 billion got missing according to
PTF Situation Report submitted to Abdusalam
in 1999.
7. TY Danjuma – He fraudulently got
enriched through oil blocks from the Niger
Delta worth $20 million in the 70s after the
counter coup. Those oil blocks worth billions
of dollars in today’s value.
8. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi – He stole $1.2
billion as CBN Governor from 2008-2014.
9. Bukola Saraki – Through his father,
Olukola Saraki, their bank, Societe Generale
and as a governor of Kwara State
(2003-20111) he stole $1.1 billion
10. Nasir El Rufai – Before he was made the
FCT Minister, El Rufai was broke, homeless
and was looking for loan to import taxis from
the UK. After he was made the minister, he
seized landed properties that belonged to
Nigerians and resold them with huge profit.
It’s estimated that he stole $1 billion from
2003-2007.
11. Tunde Fashola – He is the poster boy of
Tinubu. Boht of them looted Lagos dried and
left it in debt of about N1 billion. Fashola,
among other thing built his personal website
for N78 million, drilled borehole for over N100
million per each and built a kilometre road for
N1 billion. He stole $900 million from
2007-2015. He’ll soon be a minister to
continue the looting.
12. Chubike Rotimi Amaechi – From 2007
to 2015, he stole $700 million and $150
million from that money was used to sponsor
Buhari and APC.
13. Atiku Abubakar – When he as asked by
our reporter how he made his money, he
simply said “he was always at the right place
at the right time.” Atiku is an astute
businessman, but through shady deals, he
stole $500 million from 1999-2007.
14. James Ibori – He stole $150 million from
1999-2007 as governor of Delta State. He’s
serving his term for money laundering in the
UK.
15. Amina Mohammed – This woman was
the founder of Afri-Project Consortium (APC)
that was in charge of all PTF Projects during
Abacha’s regime. About $125 million was
stolen from PTF accounts from 1994-1998.

$50 million was found in his sons’ bank
accounts. He was arrested and detained for
days together with his sons.
18. Rabui Kwankwaso – He stole $100

Awolowo Resigned from Gowon's Government in June 1971 so was not in government when indigenization decree was enacted

So much noise is made about Aburi accord.

What exactly is the SPECIFIC issue in Aburi accord that is at dispute

It is a fact that Nigeria had a regional system of government with fiscal federalism which was abrogated by the enactment of Decree 34 by Ironsi
Ojukwu did not have a problem with that but when the Eboes lost out in the counter coup he suddenly realized that this same decree 34 was a bad idea.As usual Eboes think everyone else is a fool while the exact opposite proves to be the case in out national politics
You can publish tomes of falsehood we will refute them all. All of this started when the Eboes introduced coups to Nigeria

GEJ tried to right the wrong by;
1. refusing to organize the confab in the first instance until the duo of Okurounmu and Nwabueze mounted pressure on him to do so?
2. earlier on declaring repeatedly that he did not believe our problem was with the structure but with corruption which once conquered every other thing would just fall into place?
3. going to open the confab with a speech in which he advised the delegates to make 75% majority as their basis for consensus despite him being a PhD holder who therefore knew fully well that even the universal 66.67% for any democracy is difficult to attain?
4. succumbed to the classification of some very pivotal and front burner issues as no-go-areas?
5. declared that he would send the report of the confab to the National Assembly whose member would not want a change of status quo. Why not have sent the report to for a referendum among the very masses who demanded for the confab?
6. refused to allow each of the over 300 ethnic nationalities to freely choose their own delegate to the confab but insisted on having a presidency list by which he himself chose almost 50% of the delegates?
7. decided to choose delegates based on professional careers rather than based on ethnic nationalities whose disagreements and mutual suspicions over the years have led to the mess we are in? Is Nigeria's problem having anything to do with rivalry among professional groups or rather among ethnic nationalities?
8. made provision for party delegates despite knowing fully well that parties are not stake holders in any way as they represent no permanent interest owing to the fact that their membership compositions are always changing? If a party attended that confab and negotiates a position for its members who probably are more of one or two neighbouring regions at that moment and then the party later in future becomes more dominated by the tribes of another region owing to re-alignment, then what becomes of the earlier negotiations which just suited only the previous occupant tribes of that party?
GEJ's confab was nothing but a time-buying mechanism.

Frustrated Yorrobber, this is to reformat and reset your brain:

tonychristopher post:
This piece was prompted by what I saw as benign ignorance amongst some of our Ibo folks and because such ignorance is music to the ears of some other people and Yoruba in particular. In more than one occasion my friends and other Ibo have advanced the argument that if Ibo was that smart, how come Yorubas dominated the commerce industry in Nigeria? What they meant were the domination of Yoruba in the banking, insurance industries, Coco Cola and some other surviving industries. In one particular occasion a friend revealed to me that he recently discovered that the reason why some Yoruba are so wealthy is because they were smart enough to invest their money in corporate stocks and bonds (not realizing that Yoruba actually stolen those corporations) while Ibo is busy engaging in buying and selling. The Yoruba will like people to continue to believe that story, that it was because they were smart that they were able to do all these great investments in the commerce industry. One relevant question that I always managed to ask my interlocutors is whether they were aware of the indigenization decree of 1972, master minded by Awolowo and the Yoruba and the ramifications of that policy, as will be expected, the answer ranged from, I have heard of it but does not understand what it actually meant to I have not heard of the policy. Listening to this ignorance induced perspective from my friends made my heart to skip a beat, realizing that the task of bridging this information gap is not going to be a child’s play. What is disconcerting is that some in their benign induced ignorance believe that the effect of indigenization is inconsequential at this time because it happened about forty years ago. This piece is therefore for those that are educable and for those that have the capacity to appreciate the magnitude and most importantly for those that can relate that gigantic economic event that reshaped the economic foundation on which Nigerian economy settled on after the British/Biafran war and as well as relate our present economic malaise to that economic foundation engendered by indigenization.

There is no doubt that most people, particularly those that do not have either basic or international economics background are overwhelmed by the subject of INDIGENIZATION OF FOREIGN COMPANIES IN NIGERIA because of their inability to understand the economics of it and the efficacies to make the necessary connections and relate it to the present economic doldrums, some simply brush it aside or worse, simple minimize its far reaching implications particularly on the Ibo. In so doing, majority of us dabble into analysis of how terrible Ibo has managed their affairs since after the civil war, while leaving out a huge chunk of the elements that need to be factored into their analysis. The unspeakable effect of the policy of indigenization on the Ibo was wicked and dastardly. The economic damage on the Ibo is impossible to calculate. The psychological toll on the Ibo is still reverberating amongst the Ibo today and creating identity crisis. Some folks will argue that we should drop the subject because it happened forty years ago, which is equivalent to saying that because slavery, Jim crow and the holocaust happened years ago, and for that reason, they have no relevance in today’s analysis. How can any credible analysis of American history not include slavery and its implications, or how can any Jewish history not include the holocaust and its implications and effects, but that is what some folks want us to do, to avoid or forget one of the most devastating economic policies that changed the economic landmark of Nigeria, second to the genocide of more than a million Ibo committed by the same man, Awo, and still arrive at any meaningful analysis. I believe that the incredulity that any ethnic group is capable of visiting such devastation on another is still an obstacle that the subject is struggling against and must overcome. It is not that most people do not know what happen, it is simply that they do not what to believe that it happened because it is mind bending. I also believe that if we do not tell the story over and over, the Yorubas will not tell and neither will the Hausa tell it, as a matter of fact they always wish that it will go away. So whether they like it or not, we must continue to broadcast what happened until people start to understand the effect of the policy not only on the Ibo but on the nation as a whole. Suffice to say that after Awo and the Yoruba succeeded in executing the indigenization decree and became overnight millionaires, many Ibo packed their bags and left Lagos to the east –ala Ibo, where they shortly died out of heart break because some of them also suffered the deprivation of their properties due to abandon property policy in Lagos and Port harcourt.

WHAT ENGENDERED THE INDIGENIZATION POLICY?

It is no more news worthy to point out that before the civil war that Ibo out of their capacity for honesty, to work hard, to produce, to innovate, to manage, create and persevere were able to penetrate all facets of Nigerian endeavor, when the British used merit as a yard stick. It is an irrefragable fact that even Yoruba would not dare challenge that fact, if not, what started the Yoruba hate, envy and jealousy against the Ibo in the first place, Yoruba and Hausa claimed that Ibo was dominating everything in the country but what they will not acknowledge publicly was the fact that the British were making the decisions about who to hire by their own standard and not by Ibo standard and that Ibo was good at what they did and better than them. The Yoruba and Hausa wanted not only equal opportunity they also wanted equal outcome regardless of effort and everyone knows that that is impossible.

There is one very important fact in my analysis that I want everyone to get, and that is that before the civil war, Nigeria as a nation did not have an economic of its own. Let me say it again, that Nigeria as a nation before the British/Biafran civil war did not have an economy of its own. I emphasized that point in other to say that whatever seemed like Nigerian economy were British owned. Put differently, if you excluded few of the regional cooperatives and some joint ventures businesses which were mostly British engineered to make buying raw materials easy for the British, ever y other aspect of the economy were owned majorly by the British, even the military, given the fact that almost every military supply came from Britain. It is then save to say that British investment in Nigeria amounted to a great totality of Nigerian economy or that Nigerian economy was at that time synonymous to the total investment of the British.

Below, courtesy of Africa today are the list of some of the companies that constituted Nigerian economy before the war that the Yoruba stole in one swoop, spanning the insurance companies like Lloyd’s of London and all the banks in Nigeria owned one way or the other by the British. This is but a partial list of what constituted the British investment in Nigerian economy.

“Pharmaceutical Nigeria Plc ,May and Baker Nigeria Plc,Vitafoam Nigeria Plc,Wahum Nigeria Limited ,CAP Nigeria Plc , International Paints of West Africa [IPWA], Berger Paints Nigeria Plc, Berec Nigeria Limited, Kabelmetal, Nigeria Bottling Company Plc, Leventis Nigeria Plc ,West African Portland Cement Company,[Lafarge ],Wema Bank Nigeria Plc, Scoa Nigeria Plc ,CFAO Nigeria Plc, Cadbury Nigeria Plc, Wemaboard Estates, Odua Group, Livestock Feeds Nigeria Plc , Nigerian Breweries Plc, new nigerian Bank, Batta, Kingsway Stores, Crittal Hope (Nigeria) Limited, Mushin, Lagos State.

Limited, Lagos ◦Tower Aluminium (Nig.) Plc, Lagos ◦U. A. C. of Nigeria Plc., Lagos etc.

The necessity of inserting this partial list of the companies/assets that existed before the war was to give the reader a sense of the extent of what the issue is all about and who owned what and when. The Yoruba hardly owned much of anything or any of these assets listed above except in some regional joint cooperative ventures with the British.

The story went like this, before the war the Ibo dominated the economic work force followed by the Yoruba, when British/Biafran war started, Ibo, for their safety left their jobs in different parts of the country to return to the east, the Ibo land. After the end of the war, the Ibo went back to seek for their jobs that they left for security reasons, the Yoruba who took advantage and occupied the positions that Ibo left decided that they will not relinquish those position because according to the Yoruba, Ibo abandoned their positions and do not deserve their position back, reminiscent of the abandon property thievery in Port Harcourt River State and Lagos. However, a dynamic developed as Ibo every morning dressed up and went and occupied the lobbies of their different offices that they used to work in. Tell me, if this is not manifest bravery of the highest order ever exhibited by any group in Nigeria and we are talking about days and weeks immediately after the war was declared over. But the final say as to whether or not the positions that Ibo left for dire life was going to be declared abandoned rested on the British that owned these companies. As the back and forth went on, the British started angling to make an economic decision because they understood the difference between the Ibo worker and the Yoruba worker and the three years of the civil war made that difference even more crystal clear to the British, if not, why would the British bother to accommodate the Ibo after such a long time? What became clear to the Yoruba was that the British were willing to make extra provision to re-absorb the Ibo any way possible. Yoruba was not ready to tolerate any of that because they knew that it was a matter of time before the wheat will be separated from the shaft that Ibo will assume their prominent positions. In order to prevent the British from re-absorbing the Ibo into these British owned companies, the corporate Yoruba decided to solicit the help of Awolowo who was then the finance minister and chairman of the federal military council.

This is where a plan was hashed to wrest the control of these companies, consisting of banks, insurance companies, corporations of different kinds and types from the British. The best way Awo and his cabal found fit was to convince Gowon and the military leadership who in all probability have never had the word indigenization in their lives to promulgate the INDIGENIZATION DECREE in 1972 that stipulated that every foreign owned venture must transfer majority ownership to Nigerian indigenes within a year of the promulgation of the decree or they will forfeit the assets of the company to the Nigerian government. (Emphasis within a year) As expected, the British were caught off guide, not understanding the motive behind the policy, the British thought it was a dream or a joke that will go away, particularly given the fact that they just won the war against the Ibo for the Yoruba and Hausa. After exhausting six months out of the one year in their bid to reverse the decree, the British became frantic and concluded that they could not reverse the decree and went about trying to salvage whatever they could. What was worst was that the British did not even have enough time to evaluate the worth of their ventures because of the limited time the decree allowed, courtesy of Awo and cabal. The situation gave chaos a new name because the British were in chaos. So the first problem the British ran into was limited time that they couldn’t figure what the value of majority of their ventures were, they could not tell how much to sell them for. Mind you that this was happening within a year after the end of the civil war. At this time the Yoruba was running every conceivable federal ministries, departments and agencies plus all the corporations listed above and more that the British owned. It is important to point out that the north had little or no presence in the commerce economy of the country before the war and after the war except in the military leadership and infantry. The economy of the country was dominated by Ibo first and Yoruba second before the war. In order to solidify the economic dominance that the Yoruba attained during and after the war and to make their position even more potent in acquiring the British spoils, Awo as the finance minister and chairman of the federal military council and his Yoruba cabal decided to economically emasculate the Ibo understanding

a) That Yoruba was fully running every conceivable federal parastatals

b) That Yoruba was running every conceivable corporation that the British owned or had majority ownership as listed above.

c) That Yoruba was managing all the Nigerian banks, insurance corporations, National shipping line, Nigerian airways, Nigerian’s Ports authority, Nigerian Railways and all the ministries, Departments and Agencies conceivable.

Decided to destroy whatever was left of the Ibo and putting a finishing touch to it by

a) Stealing through confiscating all the millions of pounds that Ibo had in all the Nigerian banks

b) Offering every Ibo person £20 pounds regardless of how many millions they had in the Nigerian banks before the war.

c) Militarizing every part of Ibo land.

d) Rendering every Ibo without exception a pauper.

e) Banning every importation of stock fish and used clothes to deprive the Ibo of any economic ability to compete with the Yoruba in buying into the British assets.

When that day of infamy arrived for the British to start selling their assets, Igbo having been disenfranchised and emasculated in any and every way stood on the sideline watching the Yoruba in their glee as they scrambled to obtain loans from their Yoruba dominated banks to make the most minimal of offers to the British as there were no competitions. The British had no choice but to accept any offer as the alternative was losing everything to the federal government. The British lost pretty much all their investment to the Yoruba whose stock in trade is robbing and stealing any and everything they can get their hands on. Thousands of Yoruba became millionaires overnight and there was jubilation and owanbe all over Yoruba land. Yoruba had parties day and night and weekends. They closed streets to display their new found wealth as they partied. That day marked the economic death of Nigeria, that day marked the death of Nigerian’s aspiration to join the civilized world. The implication was enormous and it sent a shock wave throughout the Ibo land, It was a dark history day, it was a day of manifest wickedness and viciousness, Ibo was dumbfounded, the days that followed were days of economic , social and psychological morose and confusion that are still lingering today within the Ibo. It might be hard to accept but Awo got the Ibo good and the country as well, he brought the Ibo to his knees economically at least temporarily and Ibo has never recovered from that one blow seven akpus in any appreciable way but Nigeria as whole is worse off for it. I believe that what was more devastating was that Ibo had no place or body to turn to. To be blunt, Awo decapitated the Ibo leadership and through Ibo into great confusion.

It is important to note that by this singular act of INDIGENIZATION DECREE engineered by the Yoruba, the Yoruba de facto constituted the new economic foundation, the sole owner and manager of Nigerian economy without any rivals. So, for those that have wondered why Ibo became traders, this is the why. The Yoruba will not let any Ibo near the management of any of these stolen corporations, will not let Ibo buy any shares of these corporations for decades following the heist. Now, some people without the capacity to comprehend the full seismic implication of this economic shift and restructuring will want us to believe that this does not matter and I will beg to disagree because it is like everything else, the foundation of everything matters and determines the success or failure, be it a house or business. As time has revealed, Yoruba stealing and forming the economic foundation for Nigeria was a bad idea and a monumental disaster. For the ignorants, all things being equal (in a fair fight) the Yoruba knew it, the British knew it, the Ibo knew it and the world knew it that the Yoruba did not possess the capacity, creativity, drive, perseverance, hard work and the competence to do what some are crediting to it if they did not conspire to steal not only from the British and Ibo but from everybody else that had any assets in Nigeria. The apparent dominant control the Yoruba has on the economy since after the war was not out of great honest smartness or creativity or innovation or hard work or competence but out of share robbery of the British and Ibo sweat and hard work. I believe that the question that the benign ignorant should be asking going forward is what did Yoruba do with all these assets and corporations that they stole? How did the country fair under the Yoruba management of the Nigerian economy? How did the Yoruba managed economy relate to today’s economic malaise. Hope they can make the connections.

My next piece will try to capture the mind blowing implications of that great heist as it relates to Nigerians and Ibo in particular and the flight of international investment from Nigerian for decades.

Fredrick.

Deadlytruth:


GEJ tried to right the wrong by;
1. refusing to organize the confab in the first instance until the duo of Okurounmu and Nwabueze mounted pressure on him to do so?
2. earlier on declaring repeatedly that he did not believe our problem was with the structure but with corruption which once conquered every other thing would just fall into place?
3. going to open the confab with a speech in which he advised the delegates to make 75% majority as their basis for consensus despite him being a PhD holder who therefore knew fully well that even the universal 66.67% for any democracy is difficult to attain?
4. succumbed to the classification of some very pivotal and front burner issues as no-go-areas?
5. declared that he would send the report of the confab to the National Assembly whose member would not want a change of status quo. Why not have sent the report to for a referendum among the very masses who demanded for the confab?
6. refused to allow each of the over 300 ethnic nationalities to freely choose their own delegate to the confab but insisted on having a presidency list by which he himself chose almost 50% of the delegates?
7. decided to choose delegates based on professional careers rather than based on ethnic nationalities whose disagreements and mutual suspicions over the years have led to the mess we are in? Is Nigeria's problem having anything to do with rivalry among professional groups or rather among ethnic nationalities?
8. made provision for party delegates despite knowing fully well that parties are not stake holders in any way as they represent no permanent interest owing to the fact that their membership compositions are always changing? If a party attended that confab and negotiates a position for its members who probably are more of one or two neighbouring regions at that moment and then the party later in future becomes more dominated by the tribes of another region owing to re-alignment, then what becomes of the earlier negotiations which just suited only the previous occupant tribes of that party?
GEJ's confab was nothing but a time-buying mechanism.
why choose to discours one out of the issues I raised?and why go about pointing out the the negative of the confab relegating the postives?or are u trying to say that the confab must be perfect?come out of ur unbecoming biase mind let's discouse issues

...As usual Eboes think everyone else is a fool while the exact opposite proves to be the case in out national politics
You can publish tomes of falsehood we will refute them all. All of this started when the Eboes introduced coups to Nigeria

Miserable ass-licker, your numerous lies will found you out this new year.

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).

Those who leave the substance to chase shadows are as culpable as those who have caused the sacrifice of millions of lives for the sake of false 'One Nigeria'. 

You are free to pledge your allegiance to OduaArewanistan. It's a free world of choice wherein you have freedom of association. You don't expect every other person to tag along with you.

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.

Deadlytruth:


Exodus 22:20 refers to only Israelites who worshipped another God and not non-Israelites. In fact just in the next verse the same God says, "Do not ill-treat foreigners (who definitely were worshipping other gods); remember that you were foreigners in Egypt". That tells you that it displeases God to see an Israelite worship another god while a He overlooks and even protects foreigner worshipping his god since he can't be blamed for his ignorance. But for the Israelite he has no excuse of being ignorant of the true God.
Please read the verses before and after that portion so as to appreciate the context in which God was speaking to Moses there.

wife): "Behold, here are my virgin daughter and

them and do with them what seems good to you;

You are still ranting carelessly with your wicked lies and evil propaganda just because a people have chosen to have a separate existence from lazy ass-lickers, parasites, treasury looters, never-do-wells and imperialists. You will soon cry blood and I shall help plunge you into more misery to your shame.

Remember how your elites, professors of lies and lying lawyers were nowhere to be found when Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the current Emir of Kano, revealed the truth about the notorious liars and history distortionists by declaring, "YORUBAS ARE THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA".

Aguiyi Ironsi used a quasi-unitary system of government to save the country from the looming anarchy after the January 15, 1966 coup. It was meant to be temporal and Aguiyi Ironsi or his people never gained any undue advantage over other ethnic.

AGUIYI IRONSI DID NOT DISSOLVE THE REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS OR RESOURCE CONTROL; GOWON WITH THE COLLUSION OF AWOLOWO DID! 

An Igboman Emeka Ojukwu spearheaded the Aburi agreement in which fiscal federalism and even confederation was adopted, but the other Nigerian, including Awolowo and Enahoro kicked against it. That is why fiscal federalism has not been experienced in this nation since then.

In 1972 Gowon and Awolowo proceeded to enact and enforce the Indigenization decree which led to the collapse of the Nigerian economy.
To add insult to the festering injury Olusegun Obasanjo promulgated the Land Use Decree (now Land Use Act) in 29th of March, 1978.

By the provision of the Land Use Decree of 1978, the inhabitants of the oil producing communities were turned into squatters in their own ancestral homes, as land where oil is explored, produced, transported and stored were decreed to belong to the state long after political independence in 1960. The existence and application of the Land Use Act of 1978 contributed to the present state of neglect, under-development and the insecurity of the region.


And for over 45 years, your subsequent governments refused to repeal the evil laws and entrench true practice of federal system of government. And the so called loud-mouthed tribe that termed themselves as 'sophisticated' were in power for over 11 years and would rather sit on the fence than have the evil polities eliminated!

Gowon, Awolowo, Ejoor, Adebayo, Mobolaji Johnson, Katsina, Wey and all the groups that supported and advised the Federal Government of Nigeria to renege on the accords agreed upon in Aburi, Ghana were responsible for the 1967-70 Civil War, alongside their murderous kinsmen who killed innocent Easterners in revenge for an act done by a misguided group of soldiers comprising both Southerners and Northerners.



Here is a list of some of your greedy kinsmen who looted and ruined the fortune of this country. And this is your idea of 'One Nigeria' where you persistently rob Peter to perennially pay parasitic Paul, and still continue to spill innocent blood to maintain the status quo in the polity.

simtosul post:
The question here really is the role these men
and women played in the current state of
Nigeria.
The List of Top 20 Most Corrupt Nigerian
Leaders (dead/alive) below:

1. Oluesgun Obasanjo – He stole $25
billion from 1999-2007 ($16.4 from power
sector alone)

2. Ibrahim Babangida – He stole $15 billion
from 1985-1993 ($12.4 billion from oil wind
fall in 1990)
3. Abdulsalam Abubakar – He stole $9
billion from 1998-99
4. Sani Abacha – He stole $7 billion from
1993-1998
5. Ahmed Bola Tinubu – He stole and
continues to steal from Lagos State treasury
since 1999 till date. It’s estimated that he
has stolen $6 billion so far.
6. Muhammadu Buhari – He stole $2 billion
from NNPC accounts in the ’70s and the
money was traced to Midland bank (now
HSBC), London. Under his watch as PTF
Head, N25 billion got missing according to
PTF Situation Report submitted to Abdusalam
in 1999.
7. TY Danjuma – He fraudulently got
enriched through oil blocks from the Niger
Delta worth $20 million in the 70s after the
counter coup. Those oil blocks worth billions
of dollars in today’s value.
8. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi – He stole $1.2
billion as CBN Governor from 2008-2014.
9. Bukola Saraki – Through his father,
Olukola Saraki, their bank, Societe Generale
and as a governor of Kwara State
(2003-20111) he stole $1.1 billion
10. Nasir El Rufai – Before he was made the
FCT Minister, El Rufai was broke, homeless
and was looking for loan to import taxis from
the UK. After he was made the minister, he
seized landed properties that belonged to
Nigerians and resold them with huge profit.
It’s estimated that he stole $1 billion from
2003-2007.
11. Tunde Fashola – He is the poster boy of
Tinubu. Boht of them looted Lagos dried and
left it in debt of about N1 billion. Fashola,
among other thing built his personal website
for N78 million, drilled borehole for over N100
million per each and built a kilometre road for
N1 billion. He stole $900 million from
2007-2015. He’ll soon be a minister to
continue the looting.
12. Chubike Rotimi Amaechi – From 2007
to 2015, he stole $700 million and $150
million from that money was used to sponsor
Buhari and APC.
13. Atiku Abubakar – When he as asked by
our reporter how he made his money, he
simply said “he was always at the right place
at the right time.” Atiku is an astute
businessman, but through shady deals, he
stole $500 million from 1999-2007.
14. James Ibori – He stole $150 million from
1999-2007 as governor of Delta State. He’s
serving his term for money laundering in the
UK.
15. Amina Mohammed – This woman was
the founder of Afri-Project Consortium (APC)
that was in charge of all PTF Projects during
Abacha’s regime. About $125 million was
stolen from PTF accounts from 1994-1998.
Buhari has just nominated the same woman
as a minister to continue to stealing.
16. DSP Alamieyeseigha – He stole $120
million and was arrested for money
laundering. He pleaded guilty and long
served his term.
17. Sule Lamido – He stole $110 million
between 2007-2015 and out of that amount,
$50 million was found in his sons’ bank
accounts. He was arrested and detained for
days together with his sons.
18. Rabui Kwankwaso – He stole $100
million as a governor of Kano State. EFCC has
arrested many of his aides and they are
“singing” how they siphoned the money
19. Kashium Shettima – this governor has
stolen about $80 million and still counting.
20. Rauf Aregbesola – he has milked Osun
State to the tune of $60 million.
21. Kayode Fayemi – this former governor
stole $40 million and stashed some part of
the loot in Ghana. He was reportedly bought
a bed for N50 million.
Note: The likes of President Goodluck
Jonathan and key members of his
administration including the former Minister
of Petroleum are missing.

Your first disease is that your likes assume that whoever expresses his indignation with how Igbos, in pursuit of their dubious one Nigeria, frustrated all attempts to set Nigeria on the part of equity and justice; is a Yoruba man. I am not Yoruba and I don't really either speak or understand the language.

Secondly, if you accepted Sanusi Lamido Sanusi's article claiming Yorubas are the problem of Nigeria, then you are obviously as dishonest and guilty of selective amnesia like him. If you really read through that piece of his without you Igbo-vindication seeking mindset you'd have noticed he blamed both Yorubas and even your own Igbos without reserving any single blame for his own Northern brothers who were actually the first to endanger the peaceful co-existence among Nigerians by their born-to-rule sloganeering which Awolowo did all his best to kill by seeking the all-south alliance but which your short-sighted Azikiwe rejected.

You failed to notice that Sanusi forgot that the North, together with Igbos, planned and executed the first coup in Nigeria when the ravenous and directionless NCNC-NPC ruling coalition sponsored a bill which, with retroactive powers, returned Akintola to power without election in the Western House. Were you and Sanusi Lamidi expecting Awolowo to fold his arms and watch that NCNC-NPC coup without planning the counter action which he was later accused of?

If till today an Igbo like you keeps identifying the remotest cause of Nigeria's misery as the North's born to rule mentality and yet accepted as valid an analysis on Nigeria's woes by Sanusi Lamido containing no single mention of that very born to rule mentality of his own brothers, then it means your educational qualification and logical ability need to be questioned and re-examined.


You lie again by claiming Aguyi Ironsi did not dissolve the regions but used a quasi-unitary system to contain anarchy..... Why not quasi-federal? Why could his quasi-unitary system not contain the anarchy but even triggered more Igbo massacres right under his nose? Why were those increased massacres not enough to make him repeal his so called quasi-unitary system immediately?
Who precipitated the anarchy if not your Igbo coupists? In actual fact Aguyi ironsi dismantled federalism completely and created 35 provinces with little or no autonomy for them each.
All the other military decrees issued by Gowon and later OBJ were meant to curtail the excesses of Igbos who by that coup demonstrated they could not live comfortably in peace with others under an atmosphere of trust and harmony.

Your hatred for OBJ today as a Yoruba product smacks of hypocrisy. You have forgotten that it was this same OBJ that rigged against his own Yorubas in favour of your Ekweme and shagari. Was it not you Igbos that, together with your old ally-the North- also voted OBJ back into office in 1999 when Yorubas rejected him flat? So whose fault is it that OBJ has now committed all the atrocities you have accused him of? All the corruption cases you listed above were carried out under the regime of OBJ which Igbos and the North with my own South-South blindly voted back into office in 1999 against common sense. So whose fault? The Yorubas'?

On the Aburi accord issue; was it not Igbos and Zik that rejected the secession clause proposed by Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello in the 1957 London constitutional conference? That clause was meant to give to each region the constitutional right to exit the union if it later felt cheated. With such a clause all our future leaders would have been placed under the fear of the consequences of misgovernance and perhaps Nigeria would not have been this misgoverned. But Ojukwu did not complain when Azikiwe rejected it in that conference. However, just 10 years later Ojukwu began to make at Aburi the same demands which were all implicitly captured in the secession proposal which Azikiwe and NCNC rejected in pursuit of their fraud called "one-Nigeria". Aburi Accord as demanded by Ojukwu and Igbos was purely an afterthought.

A notorious treacheerous backstabber distorting history to massage the silly ego of his bile-filled, greedy, diabolic, lousy and cowardly hypocrites. Frustrated lying propagandist and history distortionist, the lies and falsehood your tribe are notoriously known for cannot stop IPOB.

It's not a surprise to see a disciple of anger, slavery, hate and propaganda make career out of lies, falsehood, noise-making, propaganda, abuse and slurs.

You are free to pledge your allegiance to OduaArewanistan. It's a free world of choice wherein you have freedom of association. You don't expect every other person to tag along with you.

Despite the pseudo-president Yorubas had in the person of Obj who more or less kowtowed to the whims and caprices of his slave masters, the average Yoruba person do not have better welfare than the Igbo person. The Igbo Nation prides itself as having the highest concentration of middle-class citizens while squalor and penury pervade the Yoruba enclave.

Nigeria economy assumed a downward trend when the gang acquired all Nigerian companies by virtue of indigenization decree of 1972. But they could not manage the companies instead they ruined, defrauded, liquidated, bankrupted and destroyed all the companies - that was the mother of destruction of Nigerian economy! The swindlers indeed bastardized the Nigerian economy. 
And to divert attention from their ineptitude and crass looting of the treasury they would use illogical reasoning to attempt to bamboozle other people while pointing accusing fingers elsewhere!

After more than 40 years, despite the stolen wealth, the respective regions of the criminal gang cannot be said to be transformed and be one of the enviest in the world. None of their cities could be likened to, say the least, Johannesburg!

Yorubas with their cohorts ruined this country with crass looting of the treasury and yet they shamelessly point accusing fingers on the Igbos who have been far from political power.

In the build up to the 2015 general elections certain people made careless and careless utterances thereby heating up the polity. 
The likes of FFK, Fayose, Fashola, Tinubu, Lai, El Rufai, Junaid Mohammed, Obj and Sahara Reporters heated the polity with their utterances; none of them is Igbo!

You lots have only flourished at the expense of others by virtue of the injustice, inequity and lopsided arrangement in the polity. 
And to add insult to injury the calibre of leaders Yorubas  have presented to Nigerians are simply bunch of international drug peddlers, squandermanias and treasury looters.


Obasanjo had 11 years to “do the needful” but failed Nigeria – Ameh Ebute October 21, 2014 at 10:30 am in News
By Henry Umoru
ABUJA- FORMER Senate President, Senator Ameh Ebute yesterday took a swipe at former President Olusegun Obasanjo, saying he failed to use his three years as a Military Head of State and eight years as an elected president to do the needful in solving the nation’s problems, just as he said if the former president had done his best in addressing some of these sectoral problems, Nigeria would have been better for it.

According to Senator Ebute, former President Obasanjo could not fix critical roads like the Benin-Ore road; Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; Kano-Maiduguri road; the East West Road, just as he said that even his Otta-Abeokuta dual carriage were recklessly abandoned and could not be fixed in all his eight years as President, despite having more oil money from the Petroleum Ministry over which he personally superintended as President and oil Minister. Why should a President double as the Petroleum Minister of a country?

GenBuhari:
and raised fuel prices by approx 400-500%

Deceitfully called hike of fuel prices subsidy removal - instead of calling it what it really is a stealth tax.
By calling it subsidy removal, he avoided giving account of how the extra revenue collected was to be spent.

Abacha raised fuel prices (never called it a subsidy removal) and accounted for the extra  revenue collected by using the money to run the Petroleum Trust Fund for infrastructural development.

No wonder that one of the first actions of Obasanjo was to abolish the PTF and give himself control of oil revenue.

People like you didn't see anything wrong with Radio Kudirat which was hit the airwaves in the 1990s or the highly inciting Radio Chanji in the North in the build up to the 2015 general elections.

What have you and your folks done to counter the hate messages being preached in the mosques and the unconscionable, cold-hearted waste of human lives and reckless destruction of means of livelihoods in the North and Middle-belt?

Don't you feign ignorance and look for the Igbos to lay accusation of provoking the pogrom in the North?

Why do your wicked folks mischievously project Hausa-Fulani-Kanuris to be peace-loving and accommodative and yet great carnage and slaughter keep on happening in their region?

What did you do when OPC were killing innocent people in Lagos during the June 12 saga?

Ever since you were born, have you seen or heard anywhere Igbos are on rampage, killing people and destroying means of livelihoods for no just cause?

Have any prominent Igbo personality insulted or maligned your father or race?

Why do you parasites and miserable ass-lickers leave the nuisances posed by street urchins, almajiris and beggars to target Igbo traders, shops and markets for closure?

It will do you and your Yoruba folks much good to leave out IPOB/NK from unnecessary mention and rather concentrate on consolidating your OduaArewanistan republic.

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 15, 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.

Can you also tell me why all the textile mills in the north are dead?.... You know it would greatly boost the economy of some northern states and reduce their parasitic nature on nigeri delta oil?... but I suppose these mills were killed to keep northerners down?

The groundnut pyramids were also killed deliberately to keep the northern economy down and ensure the northerners remain parasitic right?

Can you please also tell me why the multi-billion dollar Ajaokuta Steel plant in Kogi state built since the 80's has not produced a single steel billet till date?... I suppose it was also a plan to keep the middle-beltans down?

Wake up from your 45 years old sleep bro... The problem is a failure of leadership and it affects everybody and every region. You are free to keep enslaving yourself mentally by believing Igbos are the main target of this general failure of leadership.

Wow, this killed it. You are so so on point. Only God knows what we free their minds. Their minds have been so polluted.

A notorious treacheerous backstabber distorting history to massage the silly ego of his bile-filled, greedy, diabolic, lousy and cowardly hypocrites. Frustrated lying propagandist and history distortionist, the lies and falsehood your tribe are notoriously known for cannot stop IPOB.

It's not a surprise to see a disciple of anger, slavery, hate and propaganda make career out of lies, falsehood, noise-making, propaganda, abuse and slurs.

You are free to pledge your allegiance to OduaArewanistan. It's a free world of choice wherein you have freedom of association. You don't expect every other person to tag along with you.

Despite the pseudo-president Yorubas had in the person of Obj who more or less kowtowed to the whims and caprices of his slave masters, the average Yoruba person do not have better welfare than the Igbo person. The Igbo Nation prides itself as having the highest concentration of middle-class citizens while squalor and penury pervade the Yoruba enclave.

Nigeria economy assumed a downward trend when the gang acquired all Nigerian companies by virtue of indigenization decree of 1972. But they could not manage the companies instead they ruined, defrauded, liquidated, bankrupted and destroyed all the companies - that was the mother of destruction of Nigerian economy! The swindlers indeed bastardized the Nigerian economy. 
And to divert attention from their ineptitude and crass looting of the treasury they would use illogical reasoning to attempt to bamboozle other people while pointing accusing fingers elsewhere!

After more than 40 years, despite the stolen wealth, the respective regions of the criminal gang cannot be said to be transformed and be one of the enviest in the world. None of their cities could be likened to, say the least, Johannesburg!

Yorubas with their cohorts ruined this country with crass looting of the treasury and yet they shamelessly point accusing fingers on the Igbos who have been far from political power.

In the build up to the 2015 general elections certain people made careless and careless utterances thereby heating up the polity. 
The likes of FFK, Fayose, Fashola, Tinubu, Lai, El Rufai, Junaid Mohammed, Obj and Sahara Reporters heated the polity with their utterances; none of them is Igbo!

You lots have only flourished at the expense of others by virtue of the injustice, inequity and lopsided arrangement in the polity. 
And to add insult to injury the calibre of leaders Yorubas  have presented to Nigerians are simply bunch of international drug peddlers, squandermanias and treasury looters.


Obasanjo had 11 years to “do the needful” but failed Nigeria – Ameh Ebute October 21, 2014 at 10:30 am in News
By Henry Umoru
ABUJA- FORMER Senate President, Senator Ameh Ebute yesterday took a swipe at former President Olusegun Obasanjo, saying he failed to use his three years as a Military Head of State and eight years as an elected president to do the needful in solving the nation’s problems, just as he said if the former president had done his best in addressing some of these sectoral problems, Nigeria would have been better for it.

According to Senator Ebute, former President Obasanjo could not fix critical roads like the Benin-Ore road; Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; Kano-Maiduguri road; the East West Road, just as he said that even his Otta-Abeokuta dual carriage were recklessly abandoned and could not be fixed in all his eight years as President, despite having more oil money from the Petroleum Ministry over which he personally superintended as President and oil Minister. Why should a President double as the Petroleum Minister of a country?

Rather than address the specific issues raised you vomited all these long irrelevant and off-the-mark trash in the face of superior arguement as to how your tribe ruined Nigeria's federalism and replaced it with unitary system that has led to our 55 years of misery.
You complain loads of marginalization and gang up against your region SE but forget that your people were first to tamper with the equitable system we had in place.
You started a fight by punching others first and when the fight has gained full momentum you started complaining that the blows landing on you are too heavy. If you did not want marginalization, then why did you ever tamper with the federal structure?
You thought you'll be able to compete favourably in an atmosphere of chaos so you caused chaos by tampering with the federal structure, but on realizing that you could not outdo others as you thought you would, you started asking for a return to federal system.
Who are you to toss us up and down between two systems according to your whims and caprices?
You don't know that greed has consequence? All you have complained of are only the brutal consequences of the chaos you caused by dismantling federalism. You need a crash programme on how brutal nemesis could be.
You accuse everyone else of the evil you introduced into Nigeria.

The Jan 1966 coup was an Igbo coup not by the composition of the planners but by the manner of execution. It is clear that Nzeogwu and the Yoruba officers were deceived into what they did not really understand. Even each of the over 300 Nigeria's ethnic groups had been represented in that coup, that would not have changed the fact that apart from Nzeogwu, all the other Igbos involved had a different agenda from the one the other accomplices were made to believe.

Frustrated disciple of anger, slavery, hate and propaganda, 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).

The February 13, 1976 Dimka-led coupists came from Benue and Plateau region. They assassinated Murtala Mohammed then Head of State, yet there was no genocide carried against the Middle-belt people. Why was same treatment not given to the ethnic groups of the Dimka-led coupists that committed same offence? It's simply hypocrisy!
It is even against the military rule to harm the innocent civilians during coup.

According to the warped logic of you hypocritical bigots anytime there is a revolution or a coup the ethnic groups of the coup plotters should be singled out for ethnic cleansing![/color]

Bloody, treacheerous, lousy noise-maker, you think you can cover up the atrocities of you saboteurs and your god, Obafemi Awolowo, who was the chief proponent of hatred, bitterness, tribalism, nepotism, propaganda and wickedness in this country?

Those who leave the substance to chase shadows are as culpable as those who have caused the sacrifice of millions of lives for the sake of false 'One Nigeria'. Strange bedfellows of irreconcilable value systems cannot continue to be together. 

You are free to pledge your allegiance to OduaArewanistan. It's a free world of choice wherein you have freedom of association. You don't expect Igbos to tag along with miserable ass-licking slaves like you.

"Northern House Of Assembly Proceedings, February-March 1964
Below is an extract from the proceedings of the Northern Region House of Assembly between February and March 1964, less than four years after Nigeria’s independence from the British. I have nothing to add.

Read and judge for yourself:
Mallam Muhammadu Mustapha Mande Gyan:
On the allocation of plots to Ibos or allocation of stalls, I would like to advise the Minister that these people know how to make money, and we do not know the way and manner of getting about this business. We do not want Ibos to be allocated with plots. I do not want them to be given plots...

Mallam Bashari Umaru:
I would like (you), as a Minister of Land and Survey, to revoke forthwith all Certificates of Occupancy from the hands of the Ibos resident in the Region... (Applause).

Mr. A. A. Agogede:
I’m very glad that we are in a Moslem country, and the government of Northern Nigeria allowed some few Christians in the region to enjoy themselves according to the belief of their religion, but building of hotels should be taken away from the Igbos, and even if we find some Christians who are interested in building hotels and do not have money to do so, the government should aid them, instead of allowing Ibos to continue with their hotels.

Dr. Iya Abubakar (Special Member, Lecturer, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria):
I am one of the strong believers in Nigerian unity, and I have hoped for our having a united Nigeria, but certainly if the present state of affairs continues, I hope the government will investigate first the desirability and secondly the possibility of extending Northernisation policy to the petty traders. (Applause).

Mallam Mukhtar Bello:
I would like to say something very important, that the Minister should take my appeal to the Federal Government about the Igbos in the post office. I wish the numbers of these Igbos be reduced…. There are too many of them in the North. They are like sardines and 1 think they are just too dangerous to the Region.

Mallam Ibrahim Musa:
Mr. Chairman, Sir. Well first and foremost, what I have to say before this Hon. House is that we should send a delegation to meet our Hon. Premier to move a motion in this very Budget Session that all the Ibos working in the Civil Service of Northern Nigeria, including the native authorities, whether they are contractors or not, should be repatriated at once...

Mallam Bashari Umaru:
There should be no contracts either from the government, native authorities, or private enterprises given to Ibo contractors (Government Bench: Good talk and shouts of “Fire the Southerners”). Again, Mr. Chairman, the foreign firms too should be given time limit to replace all Ibo in their firms by some other people.

The Premier (Alhaji the Hon. Sir Ahmadu Bello, K.B.E., Sardauna of Sokoto):
It is my most earnest desire that every post in the region, however small it is, be filled by a Northerner (Applause)

Alhaji Usman Liman:
What brought the Ibos into this region? They were here since the colonial days. Had it not been for the colonial rule, there would hardly have been any Ibo in this region. Now that there is no colonial rule, the Ibos should go back to their region. There should be no hesitation about the matter.
Mr. Chairman, North is for Northerners, East for Easterners, West for Westerners, and the Federation is for us all. (Applause)

The Minister of Land and Survey (Alhaji the Hon. Ibrahim Musa Cashash, O.B.E.):
Mr. Chairman. Sir, I do not like to take up much of the time of this House in making explanations, but I would like to assure members that having heard their demands about Ibos holding land in Northern Nigeria, my ministry will do all it can to see that the demands of members are met. How to do this, when to do it, al1 these should not be disclosed. In due course, you will all see what will happen. (Applause).

It's only mischievous bigots in the society that turn blind eye to the evil and injustice, and permit the atrocities to flourish in the land because they gain from the lopsided arrangement in the polity.

GENESIS OF HATRED IN NIGERIA


1* “We do not want our Southern neighbours to interfere in our development. We have never associated ourselves with the activities of these
people. We do not know them, we do not
recognize them, and we share no responsibility in their actions. We shall demand our rights when the time is ripe. If the British quit Nigeria now at this
stage, the Northern people would continue their uninterrupted conquest to the sea”. - Sir Tafawa Balewa (1947)

2* “We the people of the North will continue our stated intention to conquer the South and to dip the Koran in the Atlantic ocean after the British leave our shores.” - Sir Ahmadu Bello (1957)

3* "The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grand father, Othman Danfodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We must use minorities in the North as willing tools and South as conquered territories and never allow them to rule over us or have control over their future
- Sir Ahmadu Bello, October 12,  1960

Ahmadu Bello, arrogantly uttered the aforementioned statement in a multicultural and multi-religious country and got away with it, and many bigots still hold him in high esteem and even shove it down the throats of other people.

4*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WSosECbcmM

5*...barely six months after independence, Sir Ahmadu Bello was able to say with confidence in the Daily Times of May 3, 1961, the following:
I’m set and fully armed, to conquer the Action Group, AG, in the same ruthless manner as my grandfather conquered Alkalawa, a town in Sokoto province, during the last century.

6*...sometime in 2010, when upon the demise of President Umaru Y'Ardua, indications emerged that his erstwhile deputy, President Goodluck Jonathan, may contest the 2011 presidential election, a prominent chieftain of this same ACF, Lawal Kaita, who was a former Governor of old Kaduna State, threatened that the North would make Nigeria ungovernable, should Jonathan or anyone from the South win the 2011 presidential election, claiming that such would amount to denying the North it's birthright of ruling Nigeria.

7* It is in the same North barbaric statements like this were uttered in 2011:  ”BABOON AND DOG WILL BE SOAKED IN BLOOD”. And what was the outcome - carnage and murder of many Southerners and Christians in the North, including many Youth Corps members when Buhari lost the 2011 presidential election?

8* That true to that threat, upon the victory of Jonathan from the 2011 presidential election, massive violence was unleashed from the North by a group which called itself Boko Haram and which repeatedly took responsibility for unending mayhem which began with the killing of Youth Corp members who worked ad-hoc for INEC in that election.

9* As the barbaric killings and destructions reigned, especially with the attack by Boko Haram on the UN Building and Force Headquarters in Abuja, the Lower Niger Congress publicly posited that the nexus between the aforementioned threat by ACF's, Lawal Kaita and the Boko Haram's bloody campaigns summarily destroyed any prospects for keeping the Nigeria Union.

10* "It was, therefore, no surprise that in October 2013, following the bold announcement by President Jonathan, presenting the sudden prospect of revisiting the master-servant constitutional arrangements of Nigeria infuriated the warmongering born-to-rule Caliphate whose cause was championed by the same ACF, and who, supported by their allies from the renegade wing of the Yoruba Southwest,  launched a vicious, frontal attack on the initiative, teaming on the floor of the Conference into a majority, and driving the Conference into its first major decision, i.e. NOT TO DISCUSS THE TERMS OF NIGERIA'S UNITY. The rest of the Conference was a jamboree that provided a luxurious platform for the North/SW Alliance, parading itself as a new political party named APC, to fine-tune their violent March to the do-or-die 2015 general elections."
