bisqit: Was IBB part of the mafia No, but he used their platform to come to power. It was the same Mafia that created part way for Abacha. Obj ended their reign, by ensuring that all military officers that have participated in a coup or benefitted from a coup be retired wether they were due or not this ending the reign of the mafia |

Svoboda: This is too far fetched, sir. And they had to pick the best friend to the head of state?
Ibb was obviously insecure of vatsas intelligence and brilliance. He was too cerebral and was already considered an academic and instructor in the NA. Dimka coup was first resisted by Mamman Vasta, from Calabar, Vasta was the first officer to oppose the coup, which gave others moral to counter the rebels. Vasta then became the enemy of the Mafia. IBB rode on the back of the mafia to come to power. |

Triplerg: Abeg rest with this fairy tale. While gen Bali was the chairman of the military tribunal that tried Vatsa, his(Vasta) death had nothing to do with the Langtang mafia. Vatsa's death had everything to do with Babangida insecurity. He felt Vatsa was smarter than him and could easily overthrow his government Bali was one of the kingpins in the Lantang mafia. Domkat Bali, Jeremiah Useni, Dongoyaro, Temlong, Shagaya and Co were all from Lantang, they wanted Vasta dead |

MetaMatrix: "It was heinously callous for Nzeogwu to have murdered Sir Ahmadu Bello and his wife, Hafsatu, because not only were they eminently adored by many but also because they were said not to have put up a fight. From that moment the putsch was infiltrated by "outsiders" to its supposed original intention and it took on an unmistakable ethnic coloration compounded by the fact that there were no related coup activities in the Eastern Region"- President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, 'A Journey In Service: An Autobiography', February 2025.
I hate to burst your bubble but there is NOWHERE in IBB's book that he said that the coup of January 15th 1966 was NOT an Igbo coup.
In fact he alluded to the contrary when he said the coup had taken on an "unmistakable ethnic coloration".
That is what he wrote and that is the reality. The coup was an ethnic one and that ethnicity were the Igbo!
Those that have misinterpreted his words and have said that he wrote that the coup was not an Igbo coup are either misguided and misinformed or are being mischievous.
They have a poor understanding of the English language and in the main have not even read the book and instead are relying on erroneous social media qoutes and well crafted disinformation.
I suggest that they procure a copy of the book, read it from cover to cover and stop attempting to revise history by misinterpreting the words of the esteemed author.
IBB, in his characteristic manner, was charitable to the Igbos in his book but that does not give anyone licence to misinterpret his words and conclusions or use them in an attempt to revise history.
The facts are clear and they are as follows. 99% of the officers that planned and executed the Jan. 15th 1966 coup and that were involved in the mutiny were Igbo and 99% of those that were murdered by them were non-Igbo military officers and political leaders in some cases including their wives.
We owe it to the memory of those that were so callously slaughtered not to sugar coat the bitter truth, not to revise history and not to tell lies.
The coup was UNMISTAKEABLY an Igbo one and IBB made this very clear when he wrote about its "ethnic coloration".
I urge all those that have a poor understanding of the English language and that cannot read more than three lines of any book or essay to stop using his words to establish their revisionist and patently dishonest narrative and their futile attempt to perpetuate an age-old lie.
The truth is that the Jan. 15th 1966 coup WAS an Igbo one and I am glad to say that IBB has confirmed it.
This is a FACT and as our journalist friends will tell you 'facts are sacred and opinion is cheap".
(FFK) IBB book pain you o  |

Blame Zionist and CIA for the changing demography of Europe not Arab.

The profit margin in selling fake products is insanely high, hence if you like burn all their products, if they can successfully push one batch through, they are back in business.

helinues: From the same culprits
With the way NAFDAC have been bursting those who are into fake drugs, some billionaires might doon become thousandnaires It is a very good job Nafdac is doing and Nafdac should not rest. However, this illegal trade is so profitable that if you have 12 containers and 11 are destroyed, you are still in business if you can successfully push one container into the market. The profit margin is insanely high. This is similar to destroying illegal drugs, you can destroy their houses burn the product but if they can successfully scale one batch through they back in business. Hence those at the ports should be the strongest line of defence. |

Please oooo......are you a lawyer?? Supreme Court has to dismiss the case because the budget can no longer be represented ( it is a void case, it is like getting a ruling to make a contractor build your house, but the contractor went to the court to challenge the ruling, while the case was on the contractor filed bankruptcy), and withdrew his challenge. What do you want the court to rule on? The contractor can no longer fulfill that requirement hence the court will dismiss his challenge. 2024 is gone with the wind |
