mumu times 2. [b]are these Fulanis not Nigerians. [/b]do we have different laws for different ethnic groups? mumu again, if them tell you and ya father to pack from lagos go village or if the tell all igbo people to pack out of Lagos Island and move to makoko just because as you quoted "right of nativity". you go quote the rubbish? soon you guys will be shouting that Lagos is a no man's land. look get sense small, dense

Misterone:
mumu, Aso rock is a restricted area. are the forest reserve restricted areas? abi other people no dey stay there? why only Fulanis

Misterone:
see them! it is now a North and South thing. no longer security. did El rufai not demolish house belonging to northerners? first of all there is a master plan for the FCT. if you like build skyscraper for government land. wen government ready dem go take am back. secondly, you never said El rufai drove southerners from Abuja. so there is a difference between removing your property from government land designated for development and leaving a forest reserve that is not even in any plan in the nearest future.

MASTAkiLLAh:
i knew you must say nonsense, not surprised at all

Yoruba1stson:
Nothing concern those fools parading themselves as leaders about killing that is happening in yoruba land by the idiot fulani herdsmen, but all they know is money. Ok, come be president now

Deadlytruth:
The coup was and still is tagged Igbo coup not because of the ethnic composition of the participants but because of the ethnic pattern of the casualties. What on earth explains why no single Igbo politician was killed despite there were more Igbo politicians in top positions than any other tribe in that allegedly corruption ridden government which the coupists cited as reason for their action? Were the Igbos like Azikiwe, Orizu, Okpara, etc saints within that allegedly corruption ridden government?

Okafor like other officers joined the Revolution because he wanted to free Nigeria from the corruption and indiscipline of politicians. But four weeks earlier, the Army Legal Officer, Chief Arthur Worrey found Okafor guilty of stealing his subordinates’ funds. The Federal Guards held a monthly raffle draw and social nights (Wassa). The proceeds from ticket sales and lucky dips were recorded in Army Book 64 and saved in the PRI (President of Regimental Institute) account. For months, false figures were recorded as Okafor was stealing this money and giving a fraction as hush money to the treasurer Corporal Magaji Birnin Kebbi, a NCO in his fifties. Unknown to Okafor, Magaji was recording actual figures in his private file. Later Magaji interceded on behalf of a friend and colleague Private Mamman Sokoto at the Motor Transport Section of the Federal Guards who had been overlooked for promotion for four years. Okafor did not honour his pledge to promote the man when the list of the promoted was published. When Magaji went back to Okafor in his office in November 1965, Okafor ordered him to be locked up as he a Major and the OC of the elite Federal Guards did not feel he was answerable to a mere corporal in matters of promotion. Magaji then spilled the secrets. Eventually Okafor was found guilty of stealing his soldiers’ funds. Lieutenant Tarfa who was one of Okafor’s junior officers at the Federal Guards served as Magaji’s interpreter before the panel of inquiry. For Magaji was an old illiterate soldier. Tarfa later wrote in his account that, Okafor was afraid of being severely punished that he appealed to Brigadier Maimalari to help. But then they never knew then that the main reason he was scared of punishment was that he would have been suspended and relieved of his command of the Federal Guards. That would have deprived him of both participating and making the resources of the Federal Guards available to their Revolution.

Maimalari, a Northerner intervened and cut tapes that let Okafor, an Easterner, off the hook. But Okafor had lost the total respect of most soldiers in the barracks for his action towards the elderly illiterate Northern corporal and for stealing their money. Had Maimalari allowed army procedures to properly take its due course, had he not allowed “kindness” to get in the way, that night of nights, he would not had been in a position where he had to be scaling his own high fence, hiding in shrubs, fleeing from the man whom he thought he had saved from punishment. Well, 90 minutes later, it was his own world famous brigade chief of staff, Ifeajuna, who had organised a befitting cocktail at his residence that eventually pulled the trigger, took his heartbeat and finally put him to rest.

The aim of the Revolutionary Council is to establish a strong united and prosperous nation, free from corruption and internal strife. Our method of achieving this is strictly military but we have no doubt that every Nigerian will give us maximum cooperation by assisting the regime and not disturbing the peace during the slight changes that are taking place.

johntolu:
Azikwe acted in the best interest of the Igbo Nation. He perfectly understood the risks and challenges inherent in his plans.
He was born in the North and grew up and worked in the West. He did everything he did for the economic emancipation and development of his people because of the opportunities they are likely to benefit from having a large field to operate in comparison to the high density enclave of Igbo land with limited opportunities.

Bkayyy:
Chai. When it comes to action, nobody takes this people serious.
Just see the way their call for secession is branded as MERE but if it is the other people that comes from warriors clan, Pythons, Lions and Tigers would have been dancing in their region by now..


In truth it is only in Nairaland and social media that they have power.


The whole world knows them for the weaklings they are and below is their worst Nightmare

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Let me also add here that Yoruba elders where mocking Abiola when Abacha jailed him saying he betrayed Awolowo by supporting Shagari's campaign .
They did same for Obasanjo , Diya and one ilorun General that was sentenced to death by Abacha. They said they did not support Abiola and were feeding off Abacha and so can not call for their release.

When Obasanjo came out of prison and became the candidate for the PDP, same Yoruba elders said they won't support him and threw their weight on Olu False. Why should Obasanjo give them any attention when his release from prison and ascension to the presidency was not by their doing but purely by the north?

melodyogonna:
Tbh I don't understand most of what you wrote but I agree Zik messed up, I can't really remember how much I've blamed him. But I also try to at why people make the decisions they make instead of only the outcome. You can't categorically say the outcome would have been better if everyone went their separate ways, might have been in a decades long war.

sokeril:
well you can also flip it and say politics itself is a game of personal i interest....

melodyogonna:
Again, you don't know what you're saying. You don't understand how things worked then, there is no documentation. Zik did what he thought would be best for the future, with North, East and West together the country would be an economic powerhouse, rivalling the best countries in the world in almost anything. He sacrificed the prime minister position he would have had for that, it's sad it didn't turn out the way imagined, but it might have. With a little more visionary leader at those early days the country would have been a force to reckon with. I regret that it didn't work, now I would want nothing more than for Igbos to stay on their own, I'm genuinely tired of us being everyone's problem.

“There are Yorubas of the mentality that if they cannot permanently rule Nigeria, then Nigeria should be broken up in the euphemism of confederacy. They would rather be rulers in hell, if they cannot be rulers in heaven. They are mainly those who see themselves as heirs apparent to (Chief Obafemi) Awolowo. I neither share their philosophy nor their mindset. Some of them contributed to putting Bola Tinubu in power and in spite of largesse of houses in Victoria Island built for them by Bola; they turned against him when the flow of largesses started to dry up.

CharleyBright:
Mister Man, If Ojukwu was part of the Nzeogwu coup, why was he never arrested or named as one of the plotters long after the coup plotters were arrested? Why was Ojukwu still allowed to command the Kano Battalion after the Coup?
Why is it that till today, no one has ever linked Ojukwu to the Nzeogwu coup, except you?
It is you, that is coming with such erroneous narrative.
Sources and writers has it that Ojukwu who was commander of the Kano Battalion then, fought and repelled Nzegwu (who was said to be relieving Lt Col. Kurubo and temporarily overseeing the Kaduna Battallion the day the coup happened), as Nzeogwu tried to takeover Kano Battalion from Kaduna.


Point of information, Ojukwu left Kano to Onitsha after he protested the ending killings of many Ibo officers following the Nzeogwu coup.

Guestlander:


Perhaps you have a beef with the truth. If Ojukwu foiled the coup in the north why then would Ironsi enter into an agreement with Nzeogwu to stand down.

obynzo:
In which sector of the coup was there a failure of the coup?[b] In the Lagos sector and this was logistic failures that gave it an ethnic colouration [/b]and I don't blame anyone honestly if they have that notion, but my own anger is that these guys clearly acted on their own their mistakes their actions and inactions were clearly their own doing so why would a whole tribe be blamed for their actions? But most of us conveniently didn't blame the middle belt when Dimka plotted his coup, you see the hypocrisy here.

obynzo:
In which sector of the coup was there a failure of the coup? In the Lagos sector and this was logistic failures

Deadlytruth:
Igbos are blamed about the coup not because of the ethnic composition of the planners but the heavily lopsided ethnic pattern of the execution and killings which spared all Igbo politicians but consumed their colleagues from other regions and tribes despite they all participated in the allegedly fantastically corruption ridden government of the day.
Why was no single Igbo politician killed despite there were up to three of them in the coupists hit list?

(Innocent) coincidences, they would have us believe

Tumbulum:
are you part of the Nigeria army ?

Neddstark:
Oga go buy AK47.

Neddstark:
You are inciting war. There will be no war in Nigeria. However, the war and bloodshed you yearn for shall be upon you and only you.

Neoteny:
You assume the government or military gives a shiit

jamjo:
The main purpose people elect their representatives are so for them to represent the people's interests, So why keep them when the interests of the people are not aligned with their representatives 80/90% of the time, the constitution gave the people the power to recall any elected representative, so I ask my Southeastern's what are we waiting for our governors have failed us in all indices of governance.

They have played politics with our lives and enough is enough so any governor who is against the Eastern Security Network should be recalled with immediate effect.

I think you need to calm down, this VP is actually one of the sane top official in this administration. If given position to handle affairs of this country, he will perform more than he did when he was acting
