[quote author=shegz24 post=134321206]This one just dey finger Igbos brain.. Maradona for a reason

-Aburi accord was agreed
-Ojukwu went against it by invading the Midwest(present day NigerDelta), trying to force them to join him. instead of just going with his Biafrans.
Several people in Benin were slaughtered by Ojukwu's order.
Why did Ojukwu do this? It's because his aim all along was to have control of the Oil rich region during a time of Oil boom.
He never really wanted Biafra for Biafrans.

-Gowon did the right thing by returning the "favour" to push Biafran soldiers back.
Then came the war.

-Gowon in his kind heartedness, (some can argue 'foolishness') was still sending food from the North to SE, thinking it was getting to the civilians and kids.

-Gowon later released Awolowo and made him the Minister of Finance.
That was the beginning of the end of the war because Awolowo did his investigation and discovered that the food Gowon kept sending was being cornered by the Biafran soldiers who kept getting fat while the civilians kept starving to death.

- With the advise of Awolowo ,Gowon stopped sending food and within months Ojukwu -who had already sent his family to Ivory Coast before the war started, escaped like a coward to join them;
Leaving the remaining Soldiers to keep fighting a lost battle and the civilians to keep starving to death.

- It was worse because these civilians had already gone to deposit all their money in the bank to be replaced by Biafran currency- which wasnt a legal tender anywhere in the world, so they couldnt migrate or buy food from neighbouring countries.
Ojukwu had used some of the money they deposited to secure arms and pocketed the rest.
In simple terms, the real Biafran civilians were defrauded by Ojukwu who fuelled their "hate" to push his own agenda.

- It had to be Phillip Effiong from Calabar-one of those whose community,Ojukwu had invaded in SS, that surrendered, if not the entire Igbo clan would have been erased all because they were foolish enough to follow a selfish millionaire soldier into a battle that he knew he can't win.

- After the war, Awolowo was the one that still willingly gave every Biafran alive, young or old, 20 pounds because they had all foolishly given whatever cash they had to Ojukwu's fake bank for exchange to Biafran currency.
Many of those that had their money saved in banks in Lagos,Kano etc were dead too because they were the first casualties of Gowon's retaliation after Ojukwu had invaded the MidWest.

Today, the grandchildren of these civilian Biafrans that were deceived have been brainwashed to see the same Ojukwu that escaped to Ivory Coast as the hero.
Meanwhile, even their fathers didnt vote for Ojukwu when he contested to be president of Nigeria in 2003 and 2007.
They rather voted OBJ- the same guy that led the battalion that finally defeated Biafra after originally leading the Battalion to repel Ojukwu's boys in the Midwest, a year earlier.

In fact we can say OBJ was the General that actually defeated Biafra.

That shows that for them to still vote OBJ over OJukwu in an election, that means these Biafran parents know something about Ojukwu or were told something about him by their parents(grandparent) ,that they didnt tell their own offsprings.

This same Ojukwu lost in 1983 when he wanted to become a Senator.
His loss in 2007 Presidential election to Yar'adua and 4 others(as he came 6th) was the worst because he could only get about 156k votes.

Even Aba alone had well over 156k adults.. so why didnt these SEners vote for their apparent "Hero" ?
Uzor Kalu that came 4th in that election still had 600k votes -mostly from the same SE.
That is at least 5x that of 'hero' Ojukwu.

Think about it.
There is something bad/toxic about Ojukwu that the SEners above 35yrs old dont want to reveal.
Or maybe they actually see Ojukwu for the selfish fraudster and coward he truly was but won't openly admit it.

Dont even get me started on Wole Soyinka who was among the few Nigerians that openly supported and protested for the Biafran CIVILIANS - even highjacking a radio station in the process.

Today, their grandchildren are hating on him because he did not support Obi- the same Obi that they all saw as a failure when he was Governor.

It's almost as if some Igbos just love deceiving themselves thinking it's to save face.

Impressive piece

Bendeco02:
After tinubu regime, yoruba will be burried finally

If they cry for Oduduwa, North and East will whip their ass

To handle yoruba will be very easy task

you are a learner. the entire sw buried politically?no more.senator,governorship position? No need for them to vote anymore right? u gotta be kidding.

Tranquillity360:
I not disputing the above, what I am disputing is lies by Yorubas, changing the narrative claiming adekule Fajuyi asked the Northern soldiers to kill him too.


They made it look like Fajuyi was a hero that gave up his life for Igbo man, instead of telling the story the way it's,that he was killed together with Ironsi.

It is on record fajuyi deliberately followed them, and later got killed together with ironsi,how they got killed,when ,what transpired no one knows. there are no life witness.

No yoruba person can say Adekunle begged them to kill him too,I dont know
your source of such info but if its from Nairalanders, then you shouldnt believe such as most nairalanders are not well informed of some events,they are just having fun saying whatever come to their mind.I presume.
Moreover,dont judge the entire Yoruba
people from whatever you read from nairalanders and other SM, most Yoruba are not in the same boat like anti Igbo mob on Nairaland.
Peace.

Tranquillity360:
Nothing like Fajuyi refused soldiers to take Ironsi unless they take him too.
If that was the case, there would have been shootout and Fajuyi killed defending his guest as Yoruba portray it.

But the fact is northern soldiers killed Ironsi together with Ironsi after taking them away from government House.


That fajuyi asked Northerners soldiers to kill him too was lie Yorubas told to change the narrative, because they don't want to confront Hausafulanis.

You dont understand how the military work, the govt house was already surrounded by the invading soldiers. the soldiers are lower in ran .Ironsi was the head of state,while fajuyi was a governor both high ranking. Both of them understood what was going on, they knew it was a coup, but since they wanted to arrest ironsi cus they would have shot him on sight.
nobidy ever said Adekunle ask them to kill him too.


A northern soldier killed both of them, a southern soldier killed Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello,Akintola and others too.

why would Yoruba confront Hausa/Fulan?

I

Tranquillity360:
Bayo Onanuga trying to change the narrative.


This was how Yorubas and it Lagos ibadan gutter media lied that Adekunle Fajuyi sacrificed himself for Ironsi.

A lie Yorubas have told for long is he died defending Ironsi.

But the fact is Northerners killed Fajuyi together with Ironsi,instead of Yorubas to confront Hausafulanis for killing their brother, they changed the narrative that fajuyi asked Northerners to kill him too.

Does that even make sense?



But assuming it was Igbo soldiers that killed him, will you people believe he asked the Igbo soldiers to kill him?


Won't Yoruba ask questions like, even if he said you should kill him, must you kill him




Ev!il things that used Lagos ibadan gutter media to write rubbish to portray themselves as good and change every narration to suit them.

The soldiers came for Ironsi who was visiting Adekunle in the Agodi govt house , the soldier demanded to take Ironsi away,while Adekunle being the state govt at the time refused to let the soldier take Ironsi away unless they take him too.
The later killed both of them at Iwo road a distance of about 15km from Agodi.

It was a counter coup ,no one can ask any question.

Obviuosly,the greatest enemy of Nigeria is our colonial master.

Alliswell248:
You said, you would vote for either of them.

Stop supporting the coup plotters to bring your people down

lol...i didnt say so, the werey keep dragging all yoruba in his moronic posts ,so I had to let him know that yoruba people are the only one that voted Tinubu and not all of them voted him nor will still vote him. He shouldnt be dragging all people in his posts.

Alliswell248:
You are one of those selling your people out.
How is atiku or obi better than Tinubu?

Continue

Where did I mention that Atiku and Obi are better than Tinubu?
Read well.

Iwofa lenu....a yoruba proverb, meaning mouth is a slave it obeys the command of its owner. If mouth could change destiny everyone will change their destiny,but no it doesnt change anything
which name they have called Tinubu ?
Prior to election and after election the list is long, In king sunny Ade voice: Let them say.

LagosOrigin:
who wants to be obsessed with a betraying Yoruba ?
Definitely not me because the whole nation now sees you people as betrayers.

yet in the last election,no.yoruba state gave 100% vote to Tinubu. The same yoruba that opposition party will still bring campaign come 2027,

LagosOrigin:
El rufai is attacking the whole Yoruba people and non of them get mind fit talk back at him

South west fears and worship the north

How did he attack the whole yoruba people?

Read well, 27 from Idumota.
mostly drug shops run by igbos

phantom:
😂 😂.. yorubas have been running kita kata like sluts in post war Berlin on this issue for the past 3 days

Make una go rest... e don cast... IT WAS NOT AN IGBO COUP!!

I am still looking for the soft copy of Adewale Ademoyega's "why we struck" so i can post it here for these clueless bigots to read and instantly go mute.

In actual fact, Ademoyega was the mastermind of that coup. NZEOGWU was the face!

Ademoyega did the recruiting of officers into the plan. In addition to the fact he was the most senior in age, he appeared to be the most educated and strategic.

He it was that drafted Major Theophilus Nzegwu, the first igbo air force officer to organise the aircraft that would bring Awo from Calabar prison after the success of the coup.

I will find the soft copy of "why we struck".. I lost my physical copy unfortunately but I'll definitely find it and have it posted here.

PS: Nzeogwu is an igbo man in one breath and his people in delta state are not igbos in another according to these cursed ronu twats 😂... keep spinning your double mouthed selves into a corner.

PSS: Maybe we should also term the obasanjo coup as a yoruba coup and the Buhari/Abacha coups as fulani coups 🤦🏾‍♂️

Coup in inilitary has no ethnic colouring,its simply.as it is coup. what made 1966.coup stood out was the calibre of people assisinated and the non chalant attitude of Ironsi in punishing the coupist,not to to talk of how the Igbos were rubbing it on the face of anyone that cared to listen.Ahmadu bello and Tafawa Balewa shouldnt have been killed.

happney65:
The People they killed were mostly those who resisted arrest. People like Remi Kayode wasnt killed because he didnt resist arrest and others too that were released when the coup failed

Thats not true,uharmed civilian resistng arrest by the soldiers! not possible.
even if they did resist arrest why killing them?
People like Tafawa and Ahmadu were not just ordinary people ,they were not supposef to be killed.

happney65:
A friend who is currently reading the book told me he is on page 64 where Babaginda said things about the coup and that the coup isnt an igbo coup as widely believed.

I was surprised this is coming from Babaginda. But I am not surprised about the facts because I know the facts.

I have read first hand facts about the
coup by one of the major plotters Adewale Ademoyega in "Why we struck". He said "At no time in our meetings.did we.decide to single out any ethnic group,we were honourable and all we did was for love of country"

Nzeogwu
Adewale Ademoyega
Emmanuel Ifeajuna

Those 3 were the ring leaders who later brought in others to join the revolution.

But we are in an era of people not wanting to believe the truth or the facts but only wanting to believe whatever they choose to believe

To them 2 plus 2 is 22 and not 4. So with people like that who live in a world of alternative facts and realities,It is a very unfortunte scenario.

The coup plotters shouldnt have shed so much blood,especially high ranking defenceless civilian politicians.
They should have arrest them instead.

TTPAAR:
And so

One thing I discovered about nairaland is that some of the Mods think every Nigerian gives a F* about this guys. There life there business.

Give us news about the country or stories that helps us relax.

They move topics like this to fp cus of traffic. decent.topics.wont get traffi.Nairaland thrives on traffic,as long as members engage, discuss,insult etc one another,more cashout.for nairaland

Botragelad:
For those who may not be aware, let me explain. The man you see here is a Black man who struggles with mental illness. He accidentally wandered into the Gaza Strip. Do you know what happened next?

Hamas immediately took him hostage, subjected him to torture, and held him for over 10 years, refusing to release him despite his mental health condition. Today, he was finally released as part of a hostage deal. This man was simply someone who was unaware and lost. Yet, Hamas paraded him publicly, and so-called Palestinians hurled vile, racist remarks at him because of his skin color. If this isn’t utterly degrading for those in the Black community who support Hamas, I don’t know what is.

Now, can anyone explain what he did to deserve such inhumane treatment? And why is there so little condemnation of

Hamas for actions like these?.

There are thousand of palestineans in Isreali detention camps,young and.old,male and female. Many of them have have spent more than a decade .When are they going to be released?

Nwaikpe:
Abdulwaheed must cry blood.

Nigeria voted for a muslim muslim president and vice president, and after the elections, the president went cap in hand, tail between legs like a dog, begging Saudi Arabia for a $1 billion investment and was refused.

America, an Israeli-aligned Judeo-Christian nation, voted for a Christian president and vice president, and on the day of inauguration, the same Saudi Arabia came cap in hand, tail between legs, begging America for the opportunity to invest $600 billion into the American economy.

Man! I'd better be Christian. I'd rather support Israel!

Nigeria just learned her lesson and is trying so hard to align with Israel. Maybe Israel will allow her buy 2 plots in Gaza, when the terrorist palestinians have been cleared from the Area.


Allahu Akbar!!

If you understand the politics of the Middle east, Iran(Shia) vs Saudi(sunni)
problem and the issues with saudi Aramco,then you will know why saudi want to invest 600 mil in USA.
do you actually think that money was an investment fot real?

besides, saudi worth trllions of dollars, investing 600mil is nothing to them.

KINGsXchange:
The Fxck is this…
And somebody who is sickhead below me will say “Good development”

That is how it is in US, Europe and some Asia middle eastern countries.

This happened last year,

Nice2023:
U have no sense.
Because u lack comprehension let me school u as someone whose education is a waste.

There is sharia law in the following countries e.g

Lebanon.
Oman
Jordan
Syria...Sharia law since 1973.
Kuwait
United Arab Emirates is governed by sharia law except foreigners who are allowed to use civil law.
Turkey is the only country that banned sharia law by Atarturks

Olodo.

Obviously I was right about you,

Countries practice sharia law to varying extents, Classic ,mixed or for Muslims only. Non of the countries I mentioned practice classic sharia law as its primary legal system, not sole basis for the country laws despite the fact that large number of their population are Muslim.
In addition ,there is constant presence of western Interests ,NGO, etc in those countries which made sharia practice near impossible.


South west is a secular region, comprising people of three different religions, non of the sharia can work.



Get some new brain cells buddy, you need em'

Nice2023:
Muslims wey dey fear sharia na fake Muslim.

You are One brain cell away from being a toad. Turkey, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Jordan ,Kuwait, Syria and some others do not practice Sharia despite the fact that they are predominantly Muslim countries. Even in the northern Nigeria ,most states are not practicing Sharia.

Absuchat:
This is why true Muslims don't take Yoruba Muslims serious.
What is wrong in Sharia law that it can't be practiced in SW for God's sake?

How can you practice sharia law where the population is not predominantly Muslim? South west is a secular region not Islamic republic like Iran or Afghanistan
Sharia is not practice in the most northern states despite the very large population of Muslims in those states ,why SW?

LtChisom:
During those times, were there palestinians or these arabs you guys are fighting for in the name of islam in Jerusalem then?

''you guys are fighting for'

Is that a correct statement? express yourself properly buddy.

Sirmwill:
Why did the Palestinians support Hamas to go and kill innocent Israelis in the first instance??

Those people are humans.

Innocent Israelis died that day.People lost their loved ones
😔






The Palestine people embraced evil also.They wanted to take over Israel.They have that Archaic Animalistic mindset.Now,it has backfired on them. 😑





I don't see Trump giving in to all this rejections from all these countries.
He would only make the Gaza strip non habitable forever. 😕





Tho I feel for the innocent Palestine people and their families.
But if those Muslim countries see them as brothers,they should take them in for crying out loud! 😐

Or,Saudi Arabia and Iran are scared of Hamas that they funded?

How about about what Israel have been doing to Palestinian since 1948?
very unfairl to spin narrative on oct 7 without considering that Palestinians have witness several massacre's in the hand of Isreal so many times one lost counting.

Vlibray:
You can't have a conversation or argument without insults ?..
Back to the matter $3.8 billion goes to Isreal annually .
Isreal then decide on who to buy the weapon from (Germany, US, Italy)
In this case. Isreal bought the weapons from the US.
You wouldn't have been crying If Isreal had purchased the weapons from Germany.
“President Trump why did you lift the hold on the bomb shipment to Israel?”
“Because they paid for them.”

Just listen to yourself bro,
3,8 goes to Israel not in form of cash but weapons, as I said earlier it is called foreign military financing program.
that is how Us Operates, they aint giving cash. They use cash to purchase weapons from American manufacturers and give them to whichever country they wanna give, same way they are giving Ukraine.
Arms is US greatest export. Israel may take the money and buy weapons elsewhere.
Mind you, other countries like Britain, Germany ,Canada also supply weapons to Israel for free. Verify this matter online.
I dnt need to cry cus trump supply bombs to Israel, Since end of WW2, USA has bombed over 30 countries to smitten. What difference does it make if poor gaza people are bombed also.

Vlibray:
Stop arguing ok.
This is a transaction, not aid or whatever

Whos arguing with you?
Seems you have comprehension problem, The US provides $3.8 billion ANNUALLY to Israel under a 10- year agreement through foreign military financing program. That's a fact! Its a new year now, US will still provide 2,8 billion worth of weapons before the year runs out. The US paid for the weapons. That's why Americans keep saying their tax is being used to fight gaza war.

Vlibray:
Congressional approval is required for major foreign arms sales.
Isreal paid for the ammunitions, It is not a package..
Start reading past headlines!

The weapons were purchased by the US from the military industrial complex owned by private corp. the sent weapons were funded by the US military aid programs. The US provides $3.8 billion ANNUALLY to Israel under a 10- year agreement through foreign military financing program. The president needs approval from the congress to spent such amount of money and I'm sure the congress wont hesitate to approve it.
In 2023 alone, Israel got $17.9 billion worth of weapon in military aid to fight in Gaza.
