jimyjames:What ahmadu bello said is 100% right, he is the Premier of his Northern region and his first obligation is to his people first simple, he is not the Prime Minister of the whole Nigeria. You Igbos lack human capital that's why you migrates everywhere seeking for opportunities, assuming you have developed your region before mass migrating into others, at least your host community will have a positive feelings that your presence will as well transform their communities, but yours is worst. You are totally in charge of your civil service in your region, then you emigrated to other's region and start competing for the civil service jobs meant for those from that region and your expect Ahmadu bello not to find a way to protect his Northern region where he is the Premier. 1 Like |

marsman: all these you wrote here are totally wrong a nation like Nigeria that was still trying to fully gain independent from their colonel masters was never ripe enough to be divided along ethnic line, zik fought the colonial masters and did everything he could to proof to the colonial masters that Nigeria was matured and United enough to rule themselves, I repeat zik was never a tribal bigot and saw himself as a Nigerian first before tribe, he never placed his tribe before Nigeria which bigots like awolowo and sarduana of sokoto were doing, the northerners never helped him in winning election in the South West rather the ijebus who awolowo looked down on as second Yorubas did, awolowo had the same resentment he had for the ijebus like he did igbos and zik took advantage of that, on the other hand the northerners took advantage of the lack of love and unity amongst the South thankes to awolowo the North became the bigger political party, same thing has continued till date |

jneutron4000:the coup was never an igbo coup and the reason for ironsi unitary system immediately after the coup was simply to promote unity we were not the majority ethnic group in Nigeria in fact the northerners combined and out numbered the South at large so there was no way ironsi unitary decision was an igbo agenda, if it was general Gowon who took over could have cancelled it |

jneutron4000: watch the video again he was not talking of his northern region but Nigeria as a country we were dominating simply on merit grounds of qualification, we were never the favorite of the the colonial rulers we fund ourselves in those positions because at that time we were just more qualified, the northerners were the favorite of the British not us |

jimyjames: I have met many Igbos who have tried to deny Nzeougwus Nationality, but the fact still remains, that Nzeougwu, was an Igbo man from delta state by Origin, and the coup conducted was 90% Igbos and some gullible Yorubas and Hausa's who were fooled to believe in the true course, the coup was never meant to Make Nigeria better, or Install Awolowo has the president as many claim, but to make sure Igbos headed Nigeria, since it doesn't seem like it will happen since the North took over, coup that was meant to get rid of every body, killed Leaders, in the North, and the West, but miraculously spared all there leaders in the east, and Azikwe, who was on vacation in the Caribbeans, got tipped by God to extend his stay a little longer. Hahaha, Logically this can't be denied to not be something conspired by the Igbos to Lord the Igbos over the rest of Nigeria, but you guys still find a way to deny it. Ironsi came after made all the power concentrate at his feet, making all other regional head useless, they protested against it and warned him against his unGodly act, which was welcomed by Igbo brothers who believed they can Lord over every thing like Ojukwu, the then head of the eastern region, but he refused, and he Got what he rightly deserved. You can call Awolowo a bigot all you want, he was in the interest of his people, wanted a constitution that could allow his people to get out of the contraption when it is time, but zik wouldn't let that happen he seriously just had to preside over the affairs of the country, can i blame him for his greediness, Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university graduate is the Binis). As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are some quotes: "From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Nnamdi Azikiwe (1945). "It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma. (1949). Zik having being voted for in the south West is very Understandable, since he had Yoruba Candidates in his Party, Yorubas don't love your zik, don't force it on them. Many thread have been created, here about different tribes rejecting the biafran Identity, the latest ones are the Ikwere people, who have presently rejected the Igbo Identity that they believe was forced on them. But you still believe in your millions, when Niger deltans are even thinking about there own republic, what is with the forced attache. |

jimyjames:Thanks to Awolowo there was coalition between the Northern Party and Ziks party right?. It was also Awolowo, that made zik leave his town in Enugun to come and be fighting for western premier In Yoruba Land, while the whites were busy giving the North all the settlent, that were initially in the south, Ijebu koor I je buuu nii. 1 Like |

jimyjames:Go and see the full video of that 2 mins video posted by Igbos to push their stupid propaganda and you will get the full gist. Ahmadu bello is not the Prime minister of Nigeria so why should he care more about what happened to the Westerners or Easterners? His is the Premier of the Northerns and his primary duty is for his people. If it was Tafawa Balewa now, then we can condemn his act because he is the Prime minister of Nigeria |
Re: National Resentment Of The Igbo, In Achebe's Words by jneutron4000: 4:47pm On Dec 30, 2020 |
[s] jimyjames:[/s]Sell that cheap lie to children. A very coordinated igbo coup, killed all the leaders from the North, killed Akintola who has not business in the Eastern region. Aguiyi Ironsi and Azikwe knew about it. Infact Azikwe was the one you advised his Igbos brothers in the Military to stage that coup because Tafawa Balewa is refusing him to take over the leadership after they have both planned to put Awolowo in prison. In fact if Awolowo was not in Prison already, those Igbos officers might also go to Ikenne to kill him. After they have taken away prominent leaders of other regions, useless Aguiyi Ironsi with his Igbo brothers within the space of six months destroyed regional government we all negotiated for at Lancaster, for you to know that Nnamdi Azikwe is also a devil to advise his military brothers to destroy the regional government constitution, he was pushing for one Nigeria prio to Independence, his greedy eyes was stuck in westerner region but he was kicked out. Igbos introduced the useless system of government Fulanis are enjoying now. |

jneutron4000: You don't get my point, I'm talking about the national resentment of the igbo here, the opinion of the sarduana was a general sentiment not just in the North that's the point |
Re: National Resentment Of The Igbo, In Achebe's Words by jimyjames(m): 5:04pm On Dec 30, 2020 |
marsman: Ziks party NCNC never formed a coalition with NPC northerner people's party, ziks NCNC party had a dominant strong hold all over southern Nigeria, this brought a lot of concern to awolowo who formed the action group purposely to fight ziks dominant party, and he did that by tribal sentiment, which he United the non ijebu Yorubas against zik and used same sentiment to gain some supporters from Midwest and middle Belt, his party still came 3th in the general election behind zik |
Re: National Resentment Of The Igbo, In Achebe's Words by marsman: 5:14pm On Dec 30, 2020 |
jimyjames:Mr man you are saying Nonsense, Zik wanted absolutely control over Nigeria, sided with NPC to achieve that, but we all know how it ended..... Zik to sarduana:lets forgotten our differences and work together, Sarduanna to zik: Let us understand our differences

Re: National Resentment Of The Igbo, In Achebe's Words by jimyjames(m): 5:24pm On Dec 30, 2020 |
marsman: My friend you were not there when these officers were plotting that coup, so you can't tell me what their agenda was, and i believe they the plotters themselves said and they said it was never an igbo dominant agenda and that's final. Awolowo who formed his action group party mainly on what he claimed to put Yoruba first should have been voted overwhelmingly by his Yoruba brothers right? They voted zik cause the loved him, right from the moment zik returned to Africa, he was outspoken and fought the colonial masters through his own personal newspaper that dominanted west and central Africa at that time, he had a lot of prestige among west and center African people Internet propaganda is all it is, Biafra is well supported in the South South and only referendum can settle it, not some faceless social media fakers |

You guys are beyond redemption. Playing victim up and down yet you are the ethnic group most at fault for the biggest tragedies of Nigeria starting from when Azikiwe treacherously colluded with the North to frustrate Awolowo's effort to have a secession clause inserted in our constitution. Had that happened so much bloodshed would have been avoided. Till today you jokers are unrepentant and even deliberately go around like the aggrieved party whereas you are the worst intentional wrongdoers throughout the history of Nigeria.

jneutron4000: I still repeat what the sarduana said was and still is a common sentiment in Nigeria towards the igbo, my friend we igbos are business people but that should not mean we should sell what we don't have or the little we have and remain empty handed, like you all know we have the smallest landmass in Nigeria one state in the North is bigger than the entire South East, we have a very large population, land is like gold in South East, and we sell it to our own people who can pay no matter how expensive it is, no Hausa or Fulani or Yoruba can pay millions of millions on a little piece of land he can easily purchase in his own region for just 70 to 100k and let me remind you the newly commissioned refinery in IMO state is owned by a northerner not igbo, so I don't get it |

jneutron4000: Trust me, their strategy is deliberate. They go round playing victim, shouting 'marginalization' and guilt-tripping other Nigerians 24/7. All that a deliberate ploy to hide the hateful, vindictive and discriminatory wickedness they Harbour in their hearts for other Nigerians. Igbo land is the most intolerant, unwelcoming and unfriendly in the entire Nigeria. Yet same Igbos will go around pretending they are victims of marginalization and discrimination. Thank God some Yorubas don dey soji watching Igbo antics observantly. Perfect example was Stella Oduah who went on a retrenchment drive in her Ministry against Yorubas, once GEJ made her a minister, to replace them shamelessly with Igbos. Yet Igbos shout loudest about the 'nepotism' of PMB. Shameless hypocrites. 2 Likes |
