Uchek:
Why would Ojukwu declare Biafra? Was Biafra in the mind of Ojukwu and Ndi-Igbo at that material time? Do you actually understand the circumstances that led to North of Biafra?

Why would ojukwu release Awo just four days after Gowon became head of state? Something he didn’t do for six months earlier? And why did he do that?

Was the comptroller general of prisons also not recognize Gowon? What concerns ojukwu with a federal prisoner in a federal prison?

If ojukwu didn’t recognize Gowon as head of state, why did he sit with him to have aburi accord?

We started unitary system under aguiyi, how was the east governing itself outside of Nigeria even when he had not declared Biafra until one year later?

Akiara:
You see why you afonjizi mupets are brainless? Gowan as HOS wasn't recognised by Ojukwu. With the deaths in the North the SE broke away from Nigeria and was recognised as a sovereign nation by other countries. With their Own currency,Anthem and mannerisms.

How can Gowan release a man held in another country? Gowan should have freed Banjo who Ojukwu executed. You people are pathetic...spits

Yoruba GET SENSE!

He didn’t recognize Gowon but had aburi accord with him?

So eastern Nigeria operated as a sovereign nation for a year before declaring Biafra in 1967?

Remember aguiyi had proclaimed a unitary decree meaning east was no longer a semi autonomous region.

mrvitalis:
To break his people away

Tell tambuwal to release daduki you dumb fool.

chiedozie198100:
and he was wearing prison clothes to go see gowon,
he wore the prison clothes all the way from enugu, and went straight to dodan barracks to go shake hands with the head of state?

What power does a state governor have to release a federal prisoner? Can tsmbuwal release dasuki?

You igbos are very dumb for even believing this stupid lie.

LabDNA:
I don't really have anything to prove to you. There is no burden for something that is as clear as daylight. The questions are simply but you are only interested in muddling up issues to sustain your revisionism which is already at a dead end.

Was Awo in prison in the Eastern region? Yes!

Was Eastern region under the direct command of Ojukwu! Yes!

Was Gowon legitimate in eyes of the Ojukwu and the East? No!

Did Ojukwu and the East take orders from Gowon? No!

Was it possible for Gowon to influence what happened in the East who saw him as illegitimate after killing Eastern officers! No!

Did Gowon command and control the police, prisons, and military in the East? No!

Who did? Ojukwu!

If Ojukwu controlled the Eastern military, paramilitary and prisons, then who unlocked the prison doors for Awo? Could it have been 'illegitimate Gowon' No!

Who did then? The man who controlled the Eastern military and administrative apparatuses, Ojukwu!

Anyone who can't get this simple issue very clear after breaking it down like biscuit-bones, is a lost cause. Revisionism can't work in this issue.

BTW, this is the one of Awo's book in my office right now in one of branches the others are at home.

The award for the dumbest Igbo man should go to you even igbos are known to be very dumb?

Gowon had no control over the eastern region?

Aguiyi even operated a unitary system of government.

chiedozie198100:
yorubas and their penchant for lies.

awolowo even thanked ojukwu publicly for his release. he was hosted in Enugu, where he declared that if Biafra broke away, the west had no choice than to follow.

only for the master liar to cross over to the west and turned coat.

attempting to rewrite history is borderline INSANITY.

Can you give us any evidence for this?

izombie:
They are nigeria's problem. Supported by yorubas, well, afonjas.

The way igbos supported atiku, well, pigs according to kanu.

contigiency:
It's not a must for you to talk, but if you must, you talk intelligently. Is it the duty of Magu to send the those people to prison or the court? You are not a kid to know that judgments are given at the desecration of the courts and not that of Magu, EFCC or anybody for that matter.

How has magu performed well? Police still collect bribe openly, immigration officers collect bribe openly, civil servants loot with reckless abandon. Was efcc created for yahoo boys alone?

The day efcc will start arresting policemen on the highway for collecting bribe then I’ll know they are working. I know Nigerian law can not jail any politician both in apc and in opposition.

PaChukwudi44:
I still cant fathom how exactly the victory of APC's candidate David Lyon in the hust concluded Bayelsa Governorship election translate into a political alliance between the SS/SW.
I have seen supposed SW monikers jubilating and mocking the igbos claiming that the SS has moved on and has now decided to go into a political alliance with them on account of this just concluded election.Maybe someone should educate me if I am missing something.Was a political meeting convened between the two regions that I am unaware of? How exactly did this monikers arrive by this conclusion.

When did se and ss form any alliance?

nlPoster:
Can you point to anywhere that says Yorubas have a problem with being considered betrayers?

Do igbos have any problem with being called pigs? Your supreme leader even called you that.

Charleys:
the same way the Pharisees were asking Christi to give them a sign.

Dumb analogy.

Charleys:
He has been replaced, aka fired, aka sacked from him job

The question is, why was he replaced?

Give me a link to his sacking.

Odingo1:
The problem with you is that you fail to understand scenarios, Dickson is not in good book in PDP, he run the election for his cousin he imposed against the wishes of GEJ and PDP elders that endorse Alaibe

What of wada?

Osaze007:
Sultan of sokoto via tafawa balewa

What concerns sultan with balewa?

Osaze007:
They did
They designed the power to favour them
Middle belt belongs to east & west but British snatched the entire middle belt to north
Benue and kwara created their own party Umbc and even aligned with AG remember?

Tell me when they handed power to them or shut up. Until shagari in 1979 no Fulani ruled Nigeria.

You idiots see everybody from the north as Fulani because of your inferiority complex.

ElRazur:
There is really nothing to "read more" in the link.

I'm sceptical of this so called proof. Where is the media news release, erm, like her giving a statement in person? Where are the other things that can support this proof, apart from a piece of paper that anyone with a scanner, printer and internet access can put together in the comfort of their living room.

Why are you so dumb? Were you not in Nigeria when this whole charade happened? If you were not, why trying so hard to be stupid?

LabDNA:
Of course every good person will feel for Osibanjo but politics is not about emotions and niceties. I actually do but I know SW are not emotional and will not delude themselves that 'emotional feelings' will get Osibanjo or Tinubu into power.

Everything about Osinbajo is only from the papers. I don’t see anything happening to him.

Yorubas are not emotional beings. They can keep writing anything they like about him and he’s not moved. Whatever happened in 2023, Yoruba will never lose in the Nigeria political chess game. President or not.

LabDNA:
Of course the North will embrace an alliance with the SESS region if need be. The SW is not indispenable. Mathematically, there will be more votes from the SESS than from the SW who don't even vote as one, they say they don't 'put their eggs in one basket', and that is not what a political ally who needs votes, wants to hear. Even Osibanjo lost his polling unit.

Yorubas are the most enlightened people in Nigeria. We vote based on our personal convictions. I support apc while majority of my family members support pdp. Oyo just voted out apc when they believed Ajimobi failed. If not for rigging, pdp won osun both in the governorship and presidential elections. Ondo May vote pdp in the coming election. Nigeria would be a better place if all the regions vote like the sw. So nobody should expect Yorubas to vote in one direction.

The British never handed over to the Fulani. An election was conducted in 1959 and the zik and balewa joined forces to win majority vote.

Balewa was not Fulani. Stop advertising your ignorance on a public forum.

He now needs igbos.

scribble:
Stop derailing my thread silly person

Osu dunce. You think you can bring your hatred to south west.

Rochas2023:
You guys should leave Hausas alone, they didn't choose a life of poverty it is circumstances. Lagos is for all. Yorubas chill you have other states.

The op is Igbo.

scribble:
Stfu

Knower of tribes

Stfu osu alusi. Tell us how to get rid of you criminals.

scribble:
Im not preaching hatred

We are talking keeping Lagos streets clean and safe and decongested....youre talking xenophobia.. just say ur comprehension is lacking and leave the thread

Igbo man what do you suggest we do to reduce igbos and their criminality from Lagos and south west in general?

Osagyefo98:
I read every piece there but at the end no meaning to the word Yoruba as stated by FFk in his own submission.

Guess FFk is more sound and point blessed in his research.

Oyor(oyo) oba

Oba of oyo was so powerful and influential in those days that his people refer to themselves as people of the oba of oyo. Oyo(r)oba corrupted over time as Yoruba. Hope I’ve cleared your ignorance.

GMbuharii:
by asking the south west ACN caucus in the HoR to support and elect Tambowal,a northerner,in 2011and reject Mulikat from the west cos she's pdp?,abi?

Tanbuwal himself said he would have won even without the acn.

Btw, Jonathan marginalized the sw and when they complained, igbos told them to shut up. The thread is still on nairaland. Jonathan also called Yoruba elders motor park touts. The internet never forgets. He betrayed the sw.

Greenback:
Only time this one yaff spoken the truth...

@nyamuri lying Mohammed,the bloody north never made gej president,the Sw did.

And he later betrayed the sw on the advice of igbos.

Nyamuri:
Yes! They definitely did, Obasanjo had to specifically rally around the whole northern region to appease the north and show them the wisdom in having a minority from Niger Delta(oil producing region) to be the president

That's when the one term packed was signed, or are u trying to say Jonathan would have won if the north didn't support him?

Jonathan lost all 12 northern states in 2011.

Op you lack education and enlightenment. Dele is a journalist and he’s doing his job. Don’t take it too personal.

Ikinternational:
Correct. But he will no longer be the face. Nor will the same influence. I'm sure you know this

So igbos would be in the same party with buhari the Islamic bigot?

Lilswaghanxum:
Nobody hates igbos you say? Really?
Why does anything that has to with the igbos on nairaland generate traffic?


Secondly, over the years igbos have kept faith with the PDP and so it right if they demand for a chance to rule Nigeria. Or does the goal post always have to shift when it involves the igbo.
You are talking about numbers, I guess it right when an igbo man sire children he can't train?

Yes they are right to demand presidency from pdp but not from apc. That is the bone of contention. Read the thread again.
