This is accurate as I can corroborate with another article published almost 15 years ago.

I’ve got 3 questions to ask IBB
1. What role/s did Abiola play in coups.
2. Who killed Dele Giwa.
3. Why was Manman Vatsa shot for treason?
RomanceRe: My Wife Doesn’t Kiss Because Of Phobia About Bacteria Exchange, No Mouth Odour by rickleye: 1:29pm On Feb 25, 2025
Odingo1:
My wife doesn’t kiss, she said she fear exchange of bacteria, I don’t have mouth odour, she only said she have fear or phobia about exchange of bacteria since her teenage age, our marriage is 1 month. We dated for 3 months and kiss few times and had sex once but she insisted that marriage is required before sex. In sex she is not interested in changing styles only missionary and no BJ, she said is a taboo. She is 27 and I am 34.

Did she not suppose to tell me all this before marriage or am I scammed.
“ I don’t cook , I don’t clean “
After you threaten to let her go ….
“ yes I do the cleaning , yes I do cooking “

That said - these are signs of a woman who doesn’t see sex or intimacy as more than just procreation and to satisfy your needs.
I bet she doesn’t hold hands in public or allow you to handle her breasts.

Most of these girls are religious and have very low body count. They are just married so they are not alone in life and have a “ spiritual cover “.

You mentioned “ taboo “ and that “ marriage before sex is necessary “ support my points.
You have to look for supporting passages to aid your discussion on the topic .

In addition you have to meet her half way . Your worldly experience vs her rookie inexperience. You have to let go of demanding intimacy and she perhaps restriction on not changing Styles. Try and make her see that within the confides of a relationship she isn’t a slut but a queen and these are acts that people who love each other indulge in .

Jokes apart … I can understand the no kissing but the insistence on not interesting in changing styles is something else.
You have talk with her that you could agree to the no kissing if she agrees to the changing of styles . You’ll meet her half way .

We need to package the event well. Get our players to be more engaged and create rivalries.

PoliticsRe: There Was No Igbo Coup - Rufai Oseni by rickleye: 2:53pm On Feb 22, 2025
Hmm - So how do we move on from this …

I can understand why the 1966 coup was considered Igbo masterminded. Consider the ratio of those who plottered, those that were killed and those that were saved

Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, Nigeria’s first military head of state, was brutally assassinated on July 29, 1966, during the counter-coup led by Northern officers. His killing was part of a larger retaliation for the January 15, 1966 coup, which was perceived as an Igbo-dominated plot.

How Aguiyi-Ironsi Was Killed
1. The Coup Begins
• On the night of July 28–29, 1966, Northern military officers—led by Lt. Col. Murtala Mohammed, Major Theophilus Danjuma, and Capt. Joe Garba—launched a coup against Aguiyi-Ironsi’s government.
• The coup plotters were angry that the Igbo officers behind the January 1966 coup had not been punished, and they believed that Ironsi was protecting them.
• They wanted to avenge the killings of Northern leaders and remove what they saw as Igbo dominance in the government.
2. Kidnapping of Aguiyi-Ironsi and Fajuyi
• On the morning of July 29, 1966, Aguiyi-Ironsi was in Ibadan, staying at the Government House with Lt. Col. Adekunle Fajuyi, the military governor of the Western Region.
• Northern soldiers, led by Major Theophilus Danjuma, stormed the Government House and arrested both Aguiyi-Ironsi and Fajuyi.
• Aguiyi-Ironsi was beaten and interrogated, with the coup plotters demanding to know details about the January coup and why he didn’t punish the Igbo officers involved.
3. Torture and Execution
• Aguiyi-Ironsi and Fajuyi were taken to a secluded area, believed to be near Lalupon, Ibadan.
• They were tortured for hours, possibly with bayonets and gun butts.
• Both men were eventually executed by gunfire, and some reports suggest their bodies were dumped in a forest.
4. Aftermath
• The coup plotters installed Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon as the new Head of State, sidelining Igbo officers from power.
• The mass killings of Igbos escalated across Northern Nigeria, leading to tensions that eventually resulted in the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970).

Significance of His Death
• Ethnic tensions worsened: Many Igbos saw his assassination as an attack on their people, reinforcing their belief that they were no longer safe in Nigeria.
• Led to Biafra’s secession: The killings of Igbos in the North after Ironsi’s death contributed to Eastern Nigeria’s decision to declare the Republic of Biafra in 1967, which led to war.
• Shift in power: The military leadership permanently shifted to the Northern-dominated elite, with Yakubu Gowon ruling for the next nine years (1966–1975).

Aguiyi-Ironsi’s death remains a tragic and pivotal moment in Nigerian history, marking the deepening of the ethnic divide that still influences the country today.

1966 out of 6 main plotters
4 were Igbo and 2 Yoruba
The following were killed:
• Ahmadu Bello (Hausa-Fulani) –
• Tafawa Balewa (Hausa-Fulani) –
• Samuel Akintola (Yoruba) –
• Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari (Hausa-Fulani)
• Colonel Kur Mohammed (Hausa-Fulani)

However, Nnamdi Azikiwe (President, Igbo) and Michael Okpara (Premier of the Eastern Region, Igbo) were not harmed.

Without being biased you can see why it is perceived as such.

However, Since civil war has been fought won and lost . Why can’t we move on ?? How do we heal and move on ?

I agree but ….Like he cares !!!! He has been ruling like a dictator issuing executive orders. If Zelinsky wouldn’t accept the deal then he can kiss the US grants and loans goodbye.
I foresee that The two provinces that Russia has taken will act as a demilitarized zone with Europe troops . A buffer between both countries . So it will not be given back nor will it be in Ukraine hands. Not sure what will happen to Crimea.

I know I've made lots of mistakes. I know I fell off very early in life. I know I've achieved a lot and done so many good things for my family. Money is not the problem for me now, but I still feel something missing in me. My siblings and close friends are all graduates, except me.

Sometimes I get shy when I'm around them, and it makes me feel sad. I've been having this thoughts of going back, but I'll be 26 June this year, I don't know if it's too late, or how it might look to everyone.

Your advice please!!!
Just remember that not everyone who goes to school will make it / big . Ask yourself perhaps a trade school would suffice. Learn mechanic or barber or hair salon , construction and be honest and good . And you’d be able to put food on your table .

Im 27 she’s 22 with a girl for a guy who is not in Nigeria,things are bad with mother inlaw.
That they even spoilt her to the guy abroad
He doesn’t care about her not a dime does she receive from him since she had the child

I met her when I needed someone to help me sell my products,that’s how we met. But right now I stay with my parents planning to relocate and run my business and she wants to move with me with her child

So she plans returning her to the guy family when she clock one year by August

She will get a job when we relocate

Just scared it won’t turn out bad for us if we stay together but she’s smart and lovely. She’s not promiscuous. And we kinda like each other

So why im considering the deal is when the child clock one year she will return her to the guy parents and we will continue our life together.

Is it a good idea to date to marry her?
I don’t see what the issue is ? Do you love her , do you see a future together. Don’t knock her down because she has a child who could turn out to become an amazing successful fellow with the right guidance and support .
The child can be kept with her mum for a while and talk about your future together.
It’s not for everyone if you are not open minded then perhaps you let her know how you feel and move on .
