gwafaeziokwu:Pardon the dunce, he's Yoruba afterall so his knowledge of history or lack thereof is quite honestly jaundiced. Adekunle the midget narcissistic was only noted and infamous for his military " genius"and" exploits" mostly in the coastal areas of the COR namely Calabar, Ogoja, and Rivers areas... and that was mostly due to the massive help he got from those minority areas than any brilliant leadership on his part. Yet when the ungrateful little cunt got into those minority areas, his way of saying thank you for helping us was to indiscriminately shoot at innocent unarmed civilians mostly women and children... it's a known fact that he got envious of Major Isaac Boro and his 16th Brigade unit of mostly Ijaw soldiers who were actually doing the real dirty work of fighting Biafran soldiers in the creeks while the useless Yoruba and Hausa soldiers stayed back in the rear to do "mop up" operations after Boro's men had done all the hard work... that's how Boro lost so many men and when he protested and complained about the unfair treatment of his unit... he later got killed mysteriously at Okrika front (even though it was confirmed that Adekunle had him killed) as he saw Boro as a stubborn pest and threat to his chauvistic greed for glory and empire. Now when Adekunle was done with operations in the minority areas where he had it relatively easy thanks to tacit supports from these minority leaders and of course Boro...the idiot thought he would have it easy in the Ibo heartland itself...forgetting that we were definitely not going to let him have a stroll in the park without fighting for every inch of Igboland. Adekunle been the delusional clown that he was devised his grand OAU plan to simply capture Owerri, Aba and Umuahia in quick succession. He even devised his evil plans to "shoot anything that moves" in Iboland, can you imagine how evil someone could be? He then advanced into Igboland, didn't get as far as Umuahia, got his behind handed to him at Aba and lost nearly 1/3 of his fighting force, got bogged down in Umuahia, managed to capture Owerri before losing it in less than 5 months...Adekunle lost about 60,000 men just in some insane yet ambitions plan to capture three small towns in quick succession, and of course he was relieved of his command of the 3 marine commandos and sent to work as a traffic control officer in Lagos. He was completely demystified in that failed operation in the core Igbo heartlands, and his air of invincibility was nothing more than a charade told in hushed tones and tales of whispers... lived the best part of his life a miserable lonely man and it was said at some point an Igbo was even feeding him. He died with no military honors or glory, even Ojukwu, a rebel received a far better military send off than the hero of Nigerias bloody war. 1 Like |

efficiencie: The formation of the outfits in the above bolded statements are unconstitutional endeavors. If Ndigbo had initiated such illegal formation of militia, Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri, Yoruba and federal government of Nigeria would have been up-in-arms shouting Ndigbo have come again with their trouble. You would have been the first to shout that Ndigbo are preparing to secede again. Even the outfit orchestrated by Nnamdi Kanu has turned heads in awkward position already in Nigeria. I am not surprise you have the effrontery to call Nnamdi Kanu a fugitive. What crime did he commit other than agitating for self rule without hurting a housefly. 1 Like |

marsman: The above post is a load of rubbish. Even some names are incorrect and the logic very lunatic. Since after January 15, 1966, there have been more than one coup in Nigeria precipitated by elements of Nigerian army. How many of these successive coups have been colored with a particular ethnicity in Nigeria? If the answer to the above question is none, anybody who harbors the idea January 15, 1966 coup was an Igbo coup is basement fool. |
Re: National Resentment Of The Igbo, In Achebe's Words by marsman: 12:22am On Dec 31, 2020 |
Dedetwo:Any body who think it isn't must be a big fool, and must i remind you that we are talking about the same coup that placed Nigeria in the retrogressive Position that it is to day, that coup was Igbo against the whole Country, where Igbo Leaders were spared but others were not so lucky. |

marsman: For the posterity sake, how many coups have been precipitated by the elements of Nigerians army after January 15, 1966? And how many of these coups have been baptized with one particular ethnicity in Nigeria? Only the moronic dingbats who tagged the coup with a particular ethnicity subjected Nigeria to retrogressive position, if any. I had to remind you if any subsequent coup was colored with a particular ethnicity and followed with the orgy of killing from another major ethnicity, the result would have been the same. |

Dedetwo:I don't know what brought the other coups in Nigeria into this. The structure of Nigeria, was different compared to the structure of Nigeria when other coups where coming into place, the system of Government Nigeria was practicing then, and the partiality in Execution of the various Government officials in a particular region of the Country, gave every body to right to term to be what it is. How it placed Nigeria in a retrogressive society; Ahmed bello, never really supported the One Nigeria claim, in fact many people didn't, if we had left things like that, Nigeria would have separated successfully with No blood shed, Can it be argued, that it was not because of this very coup, that the event that was vividly against the igbos ,that happened after wards in the 60s happened? |

They usually make noise on the subject matter that fans their tribal hatred for another. In addition, anything about Nigeria is half baked.

marsman: The bolded is complete nonsense. The same disciples of Ahmadu Bello fought a war of attrition to keep Nigeria as a union. Why would Igbo collectively decide to stage a coup when things in Nigeria during the era in discussion were within their reach? |
Re: National Resentment Of The Igbo, In Achebe's Words by jneutron4000: 1:17am On Dec 31, 2020 |
Dedetwo:You are daft for asking me that stupid question. If I may ask you, what was the system of Government we were practising during the time that interview with Ahmadu bello was made? We were practising parliamentary system based on regional government that is each region has it own constitution, I can post the Westerner Nigeria constitution for you to see if you doubt it. Awolowo was a Nationalist, Ahmadu bello was a Nationalist it was only Azikwe who was more of a Unionist. Nigeria is not a Nation but a country, Yoruba is a Nation, Edo is a Nation, Igbo is a Nation etc. So as at then, what Ahmadu bello said is not bad as is first primary assignment os his people first. I just saw a video online where SNP in Scotland and the First Minister of Scotland Nicola sturgeon is firmly talking about her people first in the UK, and she is threatening Westminster Boris and his Toris party of Scotland independence because of bad Brexit deal for them. But you Africa are hypocrites and full of evil, what is bad if someone wants the interest of his or her own people first? In his full interview, he said his people should get the jobs first, if not they will prefer expatriates and not Igbos who they have studied and see they love to dominate their host. And by the way, who told you the Fulanis was initially comfortable being part of Nigeria? It was immediately they took control after the counter coup and they saw the system the greedines of the Igbos has introduced by destroying Regional government and gave more power to the Federal government to control almost everything, that is exactly what the Fulanis are holding onto. |

jneutron4000: You must be a ninny for spewing the bolded crap. I have wasted my time crossing words with a dumbass dingbat. Only fool would insinuate that people who wore tribal sectionalism were nationalists. Do you even know the connotation of Unionist? If you are not a dunce of considerable magnitude, you would have realized Fulani should not have joined the war to keep the union called Nigeria. Any jackass who fought the war against Ndigbo and Biafrans wanted the shithole called One-Nigeria. 2 Likes |

jimyjames: If you don't know where you are coming from, you won't know where you are going. Your people tried to dominate and exploit other tribes in their various regions. Did Zik not tried to become the premier of SW?. Go and listen to Late Samuel Ladoke Akintola, the former premier of SW, on the nepotism of Igbos at the University of Ibadan. Where as educated as Yorubas are at that period, Yorubas are only good enough to be employed as messengers, cleaners and gardners. Was it not the same thing happening in the north? Why do you think Akintola, Ahmadu Bello, Balewa and Okotiebo needs to die?. Anyone standing on Igbo domination agenda must go, period. Must Igbos force themselves on others?, and have Igbos stopped?, just look at the so called Biafran map, people that are not even related to Igbos have been carved into the map without seeking their consent and you said your people don't seek to dominate others?. Until your people stopped looking at others as idiots whom Igbos needs to manage or baby sit, sorry will continue to be una case in this country. |

marsman: Omo wa gba iyi. This people are obsessed with dominating others, as if na curse. And they won't see anything wrong in that, instead they will say they are hated. All they needed in 1967 was to bomb the Niger bridge but no, they want to liberate the Yorubas, but Yorubas know that it was an annexation, subjugation and domination agenda all over again. Search and read the useless public address made by Zik in Lagos, that wake Awolowo and the rest of Yoruba elders up and made them formed AG, Action group, which won SW at the expense of Zik's party NCNC, which also belongs to Herbert Macaulay a Yoruba man. |

marsman:Your claims on this platform are riddle with lies. I still cant tell why some of you lie decieving yourself. Zik was a nationalist and so he was and wanted to be. wHe was also an Africanist especially when you look at his influence on Kwame Nkruma which you did not mention. This influence was responsible in the Ghanain fight for independence. Now coming to Zik's influence in the South West, that region was part of nigeria and lagos was the capital and center of activities for the white man and everyone,so you cant blame Zik for his role in that region rather you blame Awo who brought in tribalism to fight a national course. On the issue of seccession, take time to listen to Zik's interview when he was alive. He told the white journalist that interviewed that he didnt support secession after Awo and Sarduana gave in to it becasue he knew what the white man wanted. He was the target and they knew he would accept it but he surprised them by saying no. Also come to think of it, is it the acceptance that is the grux or the direct action? Yorubas specifically will say seccession but when you bring them out for it their position will change. We have seen how Yorubas will say true federalism , fiscal federalism etc but at the conference they will change. Is it not Senator Adefuye and other yorubas that refused to grant South south resource control after all their noise on how Awo used resources in the region to develop the place. So keep to yourself that issue. Presently, Yorubas are begining to ask for succession after all the abuse and name calling on the Igbos for calling for seccession. Igbo land is developed more than other regions. Go round the country and see yourself. Apart from Lagos and Abuja whereelse. Even with no federal presence the people are living fine. How proficient and efficient is the socalled federal presence in your place?You still dont have water and electricity but individuals have been able to provide these things for themselves besides the humanitarian ones from people. Lots of you guys should concentrate on how to develop your place and make it nice, for the Igbos, they v gone beyond the Nigerian mentality. Remember w have more Igbos who understand Yorubas, hausa and speak the langauge than you do about the Igbos, and that put them in a better position to assess others, however they dont do that because they are capitalist in nature. 1 Like |

Very funny, and tomorow they will be attacking the Igbos, what a childish behavior. |

7lives:Igbos are Igbos, no matter what you say or do in your capacity you cant stop them instead they will keep soaring higher in every field of endeavor in nigeria and outside the shores of nigeria. Though Igbos particpated in the oup but the fact remains tha it was a Yorubas coup. We still see yorubas trying to replicate same agenda with Amotekun and Endsars protest but it is not working. Suddenly one of your professors have started yoruba seccession from nigeria. When you look at his ways of operation you will see that it is an agenda that has been there with them. Igbo are part of nigeria and will remain because they are everywhere. |

7lives: On the bolded, Zik never even dreamt of becoming the premier of western region of Nigeria. Azikiwe contested election into regional house of assembly from Lagos. The person who would have become the head of business in what later became western region was Adegoke Adelabu. According to AMA Akinloye, "Anybody from western region of Nigeria who did not run under the umbrella of Action Group and later became a member of AG, defected" including his very self. Zik left western region not because of carpet crossing but issue with Olorunimbe as representative at the national level. The British ran the University College, Ibadan and appointed whom they considered the best hand as the VC. 1 Like |
