Grayoso: Make we hear word. Scottish people live everywhere in Britain, but that did not prevent Scotland from agitating and getting an independence referendum in 2014 Catalns live everywhere in Spain, that has not stopped Catalans from seeking an independent Catalonia from Spain Britain left the EU, but over 1 million British citizens still live in the EU Many Eritreans still live in Ethiopia and use Ethiopian passports despite Eritrea becoming independent from Ethiopia in the 90's Igbos have every right to live anywhere in Nigeria until that point they get Biafra. Only then can anyone raise the issue of going back to Biafra 1 Like |

V7place: Whoever went to school, moreso in a first world country like UK as Nzeogwu did, couldn't have sincerely had a good intention for even contemplating the sack of a democratically elected government let alone actually carry it out. Check the countries which make up the list of modern world economic and military powers and point out which one had its democratic growth punctuated by military rule. 4 Likes |

Grayoso: After giving Azikiwe a very important leadership position in Biafra, Ojukwu was expecting Awolowo and Enahoro to join forces with him and come under the headship of the same Zik who had earlier on sabotaged their own attempt to get a secession clause into the constitution to make for a far easier and bloodless secession. The same Zik would later abandon Biafra for the federal side when it began to appear that Ojukwu was losing the war. 4 Likes |

nku5: If the crackdown on the Middle Belt and West had a jihad objective at the base of it as has been alleged by Ben Gbulie and Ademoyega, would Akintola, a Christian having Samuel as his baptismal name, have agreed to work with Balewa and Ahmadu Bello as said in the bolded? 2 Likes |

The generation and admirers of a coupist will continue to reap the rewards by 1. Bloody violence 2. Betrayal 3. Manifestations in several other forms. Seun it is better to restrict narrow minded opinions like this, it cannot be beneficial for forum discussions. |
Re: January 15th 1966: The Day Nigeria Was Changed Forever By A 29 Year Old! by nku5: 3:16pm On Apr 02 |
Deadlytruth: Akintola's NNDP alliance with the NPC meant that the UPGA crew of Zik, Nwafor Orizu etc were not just frozen out of the inner workings of government but were also prime targets. Akintola didn't care for the outcome, despite the ravages of operation wetie...a truly amoral human being |

nku5: @ bolded part, above.........it was obvious to discerning minds (then) that this was the rationale behind the Jan 15th coup by the ibos - their principal have been pushed out of the corridor of power, consequently , they felt this was the right time to seize power from those "illiterate" abokis. Oh well, the rest is history as they got their silly a.r.se.s well and truly spanked! 1 Like |

Gireiboy: Don't mind them, Sardauna saw them for who they truly are, and decided such menace should not be allowed to thrive, that is why they decided to kill him. That coup is an Igbo coup, no matter how you guys try to sugar coat it. Bloody hypocrite. 3 Likes 1 Share |

babzo: Difficult in Nigeria to carry out a successful coup without multiple G.O.Cs ( Major General) and Commander Brigade of Guards ( Brigadier General). The mid and low ranked officers can be too delusional. |

masterfactor: Wether minority or majority, it was a big mistake the British made bringing us together, Nigeria proved to be a disaster. We should all seperate, go our seperate ways and mane our lands how best we know how The union of Nigeria has been an unmitigated disaster that has done nobody any good |
Re: January 15th 1966: The Day Nigeria Was Changed Forever By A 29 Year Old! by Deadlytruth(m): 8:06am On Apr 11 |
gidgiddy: No honest person doesn't know and acknowledge that the unity of Nigeria was going to be a great disaster but your blaming the British for it is dishonest. Azikiwe and Ironsi who forcefully resisted all attempts made to make Nigerian break-up easy were not British men. Please take note. 2 Likes |

Deadlytruth: And both men woukd later bitterly regret it. The good thing is tgat the present generation have had a long time, since Zik and Ironsi's time, to finally see that "one Nigeria" is a disaster, which will make seperation much easier. The white man should never have brought us together |
Re: January 15th 1966: The Day Nigeria Was Changed Forever By A 29 Year Old! by Deadlytruth(m): 3:07pm On Apr 11 |
gidgiddy:At a point in time the White man gave consideration to the fact that it could possibly be a mistake on his part to keep attempting to join us together. He therefore gave opportunity for debate in order for himself to have a first hand knowledge that we all actually unanimously wanted an end to his experiment, but unfortunately Zik destroyed that unanimity the white man was watching out for as evidence that he was mistaken. In essence Zik and his cheerleaders gave his experiment a lifeline. 2 Likes |

nku5:In an attempt to wear a lie the appearance of truth, logicality is usually the first casualty. You obviously didn't read your Vanguard citation in between the lines else you wouldn't have missed where you have in in that: 1. Ahmadu Bello broke the ten year old NPC-NCNC alliance in 1964. This suggests that the Azikiwe Balewa governing coalition was formed in 1954 whereas all records have it that it came into being at independence (1960) on the necessity of surmounting the impasse occasioned by the fact that no party got simple majority in the first ballot of 1959. 2. That Azikiwe refused to formally call on Balewa to form the government. This means Azikiwe still had the status of President which he still clung tightly thus still an integral part of the allegedly jihad plotting government. And in the end he eventually called upon Balewa to form the government. You fool no one with your revisionist tales. 2 Likes |
