Was he not forced to resign his position because of his support for the creation of Calabar Ogoja- Rivers region?


Keep lying to yourself

He was never forced to resign. He lost election to a headmaster in his constituency which spelt obituary on his political career. Please stop loading up on innuendoes.

Of all the decrees enacted in Nigeria, none is more controversial than Decree No 34 of 1966. It was promulgated on May 24, 1966 by then Head of State, Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi (1924-1966) . It was called Unification Decree while some critics at that time labelled it the De-unification Decree.
It was the decree that started the death of regionalism – an issue which is still generating controversy till now. Although the next head of State General Yakubu Gowon repealed the Decree 34 on August 31, 1966 through Decree 9, a large portion of the Decree is still effective till today.
General Gowon further compounded it by promulgating Decree 14 of 1967 which broke Nigeria into 12 states and provided for military governors for each state. With Decrees 34, 8 and 14 regionalism was finally buried.

Thanks for your advice, I would also wish to point out you that Igboland does not share any common boundary with Yoruba land, as such the Issue of within the Niger Delta will be settled as one between neighbours and you of all people knows that Igbos was forced to pick Biafra and Igbos will be the last people to really wish for an end to Nigeria, why do we keep going back to the North if we don't believe in Nigeria or even buying land in far away Lagos if we dont believe in Nigeria. If tomorrow the unfurnate happens and Nigeria breaks, we are going to declare an Igbo republic without any tribe in the Niger Delta but we will also not recognise a Niger Delta republic as we will support for the break down of Niger Delta into smaller kingdom states, any tribe that wish to willingly join Igboland will be free or be our territory, for the very really smaller ones who would prefer a stronger passport, international recognition and believes in the Igbo, that's what could happen if Nigeria stops existing but we don't ever pray for that
Don't get me wrong. Whether the Nigeria Delta, excluding Itshekiri and Akoko-Edo chooses to join Igbos in Biafra is not my concern. I'm only disgusted by the fact that Igbos are being deceptive about their very strong desire for "One Nigeria". Igbos can annex territories up to Benin if they wish.

That guy is really like oh my God, his father should be ashamed of him seriously, how can he be talking about a country that belongs to Igala, Jukun, Ibinio, Esan, Edo as if it is a chess game between the Igbos and Fulani, some people mentality is quite questionable, Igbos lost centre were we playing a game, see how people sell their destiny, in all these long passage he had not mentioned even his tribe ones, but keep mentioning Igbos, Fulani lol, no even mention of Hausa, Jeezzz, that guy should particular be recognised instead of him making plans for the future he's busy talking how Igbos lost to the Fulani at first round okay, Igbos and Fulani will play returning leg then since Nigeria only Belongs to Igbos and Fulanis

We are not being Deceptive we prefer a peaceful Nigeria where healthy competition and mutual respect reigns, we don't like violence and bloodletting that's why Biafra was Declared, our love for Nigeria reflects in everything we do like Nollywood, Nigeria Super Eagle, Even our business scattered all over the country, again we won't annex any inch of any land that's not ours but if those people chose to stay with us, after due deliberation, if its worth then we are always ready to make friends

They dare not


The problem with all these IPOB and Igbo jewishness is that it has elevated a slave race to think themselves above their betters.

If not for democracy and Igbo population advantage and their deep seethed tribalism would they have been in any position above their betters in the Niger Delta?

When same ND said they are going why did the Igbos force Eyo Ita to resign his position from where Zik assumed his sit in the eastern regional Parliament ?

Because Igbos used their numeric advantage in the house to shut down any talk of the Niger Delta minorities leaving their shithole region.

Ask them why Western Cameron left Nigeria and they will be talking crap as usual.

People have ulterior reason do anything. You too have reasons to post above craps. The above question should go to Nigerian government during era in discuss. The remote reason was British gave them the opportunity to join their so-called brothers in greater Cameroon. The referendum was not organized by Ndigbo. People in the same mold of character as you will never fail to blame Ndigbo for anything in shithole called Nigeria.

The northern military governor opposed it. The man in Ibadan refused to make a:public comment while that of Lt Col Ejoor serving as military givernir of mid western region spoke minds of his people and rejected it.

So what changed Ojukwu's mind on decree 34 and why did he insist on a return to regional govt ?

Boy, are you okay? It is only in Nigeria a soldier in the capacity of Murtala Mohammed would be allowed to command a company. Due to his uncle and nepotistic tendencies of NPC, Murtala Mohammed rose to the rank of T\Major without being a commander of ordinary platoon.

My friend , you dragged the Niger Delta with you in an annexation bid when you lost the center to fulanis .


Why didn't you carry your Igbo parts alone but dragged ND into your madness?


I tell you now that if you had not truncated the regional govt and abolished the autonomous nature of regions, your eastern region which would have shrunk to your five Igbo states would have been the poorest region in Nigeria.

This is why when I tell any of you Igbos to declare your biafra in your 5 contigious states, you begin to insult us in the Niger Delta as a non tribe or inconsequential nation.

Why drag is then into your Judaic Utopia?

You talk like a kid, and a very ignorant one at that. Everybody is already annexed into Nigeria. Lugard already did that 1914. The so called oil of the Niger Delta has long been taken away from them in Nigeria. 80% of the Oil blocs are in the hands of the North as well as the top key positions of NNPC. The so called Niger Delta never stood any chance of controlling their Oil in Nigeria. They only stood a chance of controlling their oil outside Nigeria and thats why they should have fought strongly to leave Nigeria with Igbos. But by staying in Nigeria, they made things far worse for themselves because now they have to battle 3 major tribes for control of the same Oil, rather than one.

There were 4 autonomous Regions, all 4 had resource control, fiscal responsibility and the revenue sharing formular agreed at independence. These are the essential ingredients of true federalism and Ironsi kept it that way throughout his regime. The only thing Ironsi did was to unify the civil service under one standard with decree 34, and this in no way tampered with true federalism

It was Gowon that came in and issued decree 14 of 1967 which abolished all the 4 Regions, replaced them with 12 states, and took away resource control and fiscal responsibility. All of a sudden, the North that used to be one Region, became 6 states while Southern Nigeria that had 3 Regions, had the rest of the 6 states. Gowon then reversed the fiscal policy so that rather than the states paying the government, it was government paying the states. He also scrapped the revenue sharing formular so that the more states a Region had, the greater its share of the national cake. This ensured that the North got the Lion share with its 6 states. All minerals including oil became the property of the federal government and the derivation of 50% that obtained during Ironsi's tenure was slashed to zero. Today it is 13%

Had the so called Niger Delta known what Nigeria, under the control of the North was going to do to them, they would have fought for Biafra even harder than Igbos.

My friend, you must be reminded of your foolishness and greed.

We are here today because of what you did 60 odd years ago.

Without that coup , we won't have been here today.

So why did the Igbos stage a coup ? The answer is simply because they wanted to continue dominating and exploiting the ND and her people.

Admit it once and for all.

Stop telling the world you were innocent and admit your faults.

You say I am dwelling in the past when even your IPOB is basing their aggitation on falsehood and revisionist Igbo propaganda history.

If you Igbos are honest to yourself , we can move forward but since you refuse to admit your fault but blame everyone from the Yoruba to the Ijaws for not supporting your biafra colony, then we can not have any true reconciliation between the ND and Igbo people.

This is where our bitterness lies.

keep fooling yourself....the coup was not an igbo agenda or controlling other people's oil. We had our own crude oil, so stop trying to shove your lies on us
