oforjide:
pls stop talking rubbish,nzeogwu is from okpanam and achuzie is from asaba and those men fought gallantrily in the biafra war in other to defend our fathers land unfortunatly nzeogwu died in the warfront,achuzie sacrificed his life for own sake and u are here talking rubbish giving the yorubas chance to seggregate u and ur brodas.what a shame that u don't know ur history.

Imagine referring to someone history as rubbish or are u averse to truth.

What u call delta was simply mid west andd bendel....
And it was known and occupied by Niger deltans.

So tell me how igbos entered there.

richie240:

Perhaps, Nzeogwu sounds more like an Hausa name.
Lolz

Osaz, I concur with u joor, juss as smart Adeyemi/ Dino melaye (kogi/North central) and oyedepo (kwara/north central) are Hausa Fulani's.

Maybe @bolded, I only know he is from Niger delta.......


Do I even know the meaning of nzeogwu......?

Odingo1:
Kaduna Nzeogwu that carried out the coup is from Niger Delta, Achuzia that blow up the bridge is from Niger Delta.

The same people will tell you that there is no Igbo in Niger Delta and refer this people as Igbos.

God punish all of una bastards, people that kill Abiola is still walking about free and Afonja people don’t talk about it.

The only problem of Nigeria is the OSUS
Just allow them have their biafuro and we will have peace.

raumdeuter:


They went to correct the wrongs of the first Ibo coup

And killing people who were not responsible is the best way to go about it?

Odingo1:

Afonja man shame nodey catch you, how many times have you talk about Abiola killers like IBB and Al Mustapha that is walking free today, everyday Igbo that Igbo this, the same you will say no Igbo for Naija Delta.

Is Kaduna that carried out coup not from Naija Delta.

Osu Man, you nor get sense?

raumdeuter:

Was Abiola killed in a coup?

Was he killed lawfully?

Aboguede:


The earlier the better. Ironsi, zik, ojukwu u name them...all used for SCAM!

Nnamdi kanu is a cheap scam. Be wise

Afonjas go and jump into a moving train,
Ojukwu the author of our faith And,
Nnamdi the finisher of our faith!
May Almighty God strengthen My Lord and Saviour Nnamdi Kanu!

A post made about Niger Bridge has turned into insults from Nigerian youths.....Muoghalu was right, youths are all about talk talk talk....the politicians have used tribal hatred to turn us against each other. Be here insulting each other over corpses that have decayed decades ago, whose children are living large

horsepower101:



The international community didn’t react because they didn’t see it. Those men had their bodies hidden inside military barracks.

But Try to kill 1000 igbo civilians in today’s world not to talk of 10,000 or even 60,000.

Try and see if you can hide their bodies.

The British supported you guys back then in the cover ups.

There was no internet or cellphone or even global satellite.

It was perfect condition for Nigeria to get away with such scale of genocide.

The international community saw it because ipob posted the pics online, they did nothing, thousands are being killed everyday in Cameroun what are they doing abt it? Nothing.

so u don't know the meaning of Nze,
or Ogwu?Jesu Kristi
Nze meaning the Vanguard, leader, the head,
Ogwu--Medicine,Charm,juju meaning the head of juju,
and that was his father's name his real name is Chukwunma NzeOgwu don't u know about Chukwunma too?But he chose the nickname Kaduna for the love he had 4 Kaduna state while he was serving there!

ritababe:

And your main point is that Nigeria will kill igbos again on a large scale and still remain one. Ngwanu why don’t you test it out and see how long your Nigeria will remain.

Correction. There was no battle at Niger Bridge the battle was Onitsha waterside. Achuzia blew up the bridge to slow the advance of the Nigerian forces. Murtala then sent thousands of soldiers across to Onitsha where they started to loot and destroy like they had done in Asaba. Biafran soldiers rallied and totally massacred the Federal forces. Some managed to swim back to Asaba to tell what happened.

Murtala the butcher of asaba, high on drugs and overconfident after his babalawo assured him he would win, sent wave after wave of men in boats across to Onitsha but they were massacred also.

You guys should stop reminding us of these. You will nit like what we will remind ylu of. So let all be quite

Niger is in the right position to give us the real meaning unless u from there.

Stingman:


Protected by Igbos? How?

U can cause trouble ohh

ugo4u:

Then why do you people call 1966 coup Igbo coup ..
Even Buhari during presidential media chat said Kachukwu who is from Delta is Igbo..
Stop changing the narratives to suit ur bias.
Ok, I'm from rivers come and tell me or my kinsmen we're not igbo if your head will remain on ur neck.

I am from Enugu state.

No single soul from SS is IGBO, simple

ugo4u:

Ifeajuna is from the then Midwest....now Delta

I think ifeajuna is from onitsha

If you like put one SE person and the rest people in SW....its still an Ibo coup!

Nah, it's a yoruba coup.

PrecisionFx:

l take that for sarcasm, in the north where I'm based they don't want to know whether you are Igbo from Delta or Rivers to them we're all "nyanmiri" even the Ijaws refer to the igboid speaking areas of Rivers and Delta as Igbos. It's when politics is involved the story will change especially by the Yorubas. Even the people of Opobo have Igbo ascentry from Imo state. The mumus on this platform don't know that Jaja of Opobo(the founder of the town) was from Imo state.
NB: If people who bear Yoruba names and speak a dialect of Yoruba from Kwara and Kogi are called Yorubas I wonder why some nitwits want to kill their selves when they hear Igbos are also indigenous in the Niger delta along side other ethnic groups as Ijaw, Kalahari etc

After reading the comments above.... I have come to the conclusion that Nigeria will hardly ever be united. I think the ibos and yourobas should be given their seperate countries while the rest of us remain Nigerians. #my2cents

Ogbeni, the biggest thieves in Nigeria are from the north and southwest. Name any Igbo who have served in government richer than Tinubu and Abacha? Why does lying make you people feel really good?

Since you claim biafrau.d soldiers massacred all Nigerian soldiers, how come your iPod brothers always cry and blame Yoruba and awolowo for the death of biafrau.ds ..from the way you sound, y'all won the war so are you guys always bitter about a war you won.

MetaPhysical:


Save us your tale by moonlight.

The coup was planned prior to 1966 by Ibos to take over government. Ojukwu had ambition as early as 1963...long before Western crisis..... to overthrow government. They have been plotting this thing soon as Midwest was divested out of Western region. They wanted a total take over of oil producing regions and that was Midwestern region and Ogoja and Cross River area. They actualized this Ibo plot in 1966, January 15th.

The presence of people of other regions in it does not absolve Ibos of guilt and cruelty. Banjo was in Biafra....should we then say Biafra was not an Ibo war?

The coupists had no credibility after murdering govt officials. Whatever they say cannot be given any weight of truthfullness, including their false assertion that it was a plan to install Awo.
Just like Ojukwu said Biafra advance into Ore was to save Yoruba. Save Yoruba from what? Since when has Yoruba appointed Iboman as a savior?

You ooze so much ignorance! Nigeria gained independence in late 1960 and only fully weaned herself of British overlordship in 1963 when it became a republic with Nnamdi Azikiwe becoming the first president of a truly independent Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the Queen stopped being head of government.

Now, even the army only had its first Nigerian commander in 1965 when Maj Gen (Sir) Christopher Welby-Everard passed the mantle to J.T.U Aguiyi Ironsi. Our first crop of officers were never trained in Nigeria; from Bassey (NA/1), Ironsi (NA/2), down to the level of Ojukwu, Gowon etc - even Kaduna Nzeogwu and his mates (who were babies in the army then) were trained in Great Britain, Ghana, U.S. etc. Now, the question is: how could an army, largely supervised by Great Britain up to around 1965, have had the distraction of abhoring and nurturing renegades who wanted to take over power for their ethnic nationality? C'mon, at that point, it was an outright impossibility to even give thought to such an idea.

The crisis in the Western region occasioned by the toppling of Awolowo, the promulgation of martial law in the Western region, imposition of S.L. Akintola and imprisonment of Awolowo for high treason by the Tafawa Balewa-led central government, led to total breakdown of law and order. It came at a time the world was looking with keen interest to see how the new black nation would fair under self-rule, and the reality could not have been more embarrassing! The junior officers, Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, Ademoyega and co., had cause to strike.

Now, you sold yourself out as an ignorant - grossly uninformed - fellow when you submitted that Ojukwu planned the coup! In the circle of the enlightened, that is an unpardonable bullshit! You would be booted out for that crass display of buffoonery! I won't say more on this, as it would amount to giving airtime to bullcrap.

Now you talked about Ore and the 'attack' on Yorubaland. True to type, another bullshit! The Federal Government of Nigeria attacked Biafra first; it shot down all avenues opened up for peace and stability - it killed Aburi. What the Eastern region did was to defend and fight back for dear survival - it never really was ready for a war.

Lagos was the capital of Nigeria then, and as such, Lagos and every corridor that led to its gates were a viable and justifiable target. If you were not a simpleton, you would have known that in war, the first target that lights up is the capital or central armament depot of the opposing force. Were you expecting the Biafran forces to match on Maiduguri? The push towards Lagos had nothing to do with the Yorubas or anybody; it was as a matter of reflex.

If the federalist had stopped the attack on Eastern Nigeria and its peoples, commencing in Kano and other parts of the North down to the East itself, the war would have ended naturally!

The world would be saner if uninformed folks like you stopped tendering warped and buffoonish opinions in areas where you know nothing about - this is too rampant in Nigeria! It is a 'crime' to talk where your knowledge is weak or lacking!

Get out of my face!

Honor10:


so Ooni said Nyamiri has taken our land? u are senseless

Your useless father that sold your ancestry land

FemiMaduka:


You are ignorant (I mean no offence)! The crisis in the Western Region had taken thousands of lives and was fast taking up a civil war dimension, as the Akintola camp and Awolowo camp were ready to pull everywhere down. The central government headed by Tafawa Balewa (who was a stooge to Sardauna) was in support of S.L. Akintola who many felt was not even worthy to lace Awolowo's shoe.

The crisis was very messy and bloody. It created discontent all over. It was obvious there was no end in sight; particularly, the central government was not going to be able to quell the bloody crisis because it was found to have a hand in it!

The problem is that we do not read! This whole thing happened not very long ago, barely seventy (70) years ago. Many of the central actors (including Igbos and Yorubas) have come out to state that the coupists planned to install Awolowo as the Head of government - even Ojukwu,who was very averse to the coup (and actually fought and quelled it in Kano), revealed that the coupist targeted Awolowo to head the government. Never! You blockheads never learn anything of worth!

The leader of the gang, Kaduna Chukwuma Nzeogwu, was more Hausa than Igbo. He was born and bred in Kaduna. And the guys that knew him testified that he had a nationalistic fervor...

The excuse that the 1966 coup led to the pogrom against Igbo civilian population is very silly at best. The core north had killed Igbos on a large scale as far back as 1953, that was almost a decade before self-rule, and thirteen (13) freaking years before the coup!

The plan truth is that at that time Igbos were dominant in both the military and in the civilian sector. The North felt that natural jealousy and insecurity. 'The Igbos were taking over everywhere'. And also, at that point, there was a preponderance of Igbos in the officers corps of the army such that there was no way the army was going to be involved in any major military operation that there wouldn't be a dominance of Igbos.

How can a country thrive with this much misinformation!

Everything about you flat headed iPods must be twisted to jealousy yen yen yen. When you go about looking for trouble and get dealt with, you quickly play the victim and twist story to you being envied. I nor know wetin una get wey them dey envy. Useless chest beaters.
