The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation.
However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914.
Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.
To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.
But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.
After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe
Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.
It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.
Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe.
As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; there is Igbo quote which say:
"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"

Mazi Mbonu Ojike never supported him on One Nigeria. In 1964, when M.I. Okpara threatened to leave, Bello spoke against it. Awolowo fought for Nigeria, so what are you saying? Zik made an unpardonable error but don't try to absolve the others.

lol. this one weak me.

maasoap:
This is the same thing that got innocent residents into problem right now. You guys haven't learnt anything but don't worry, it just started.

just shut up. Igbo blood have been used to oil the One Nigeria machinery since 1945. Enough is enough. Thank God everyone is on board. Once again, Igbos in uniforms are own their own.

Oba Benin Republic!

SuperBold:
That word describes you and your alaigbo economic migrants

SuperBold:

yep, the same way we showed hatred towards Abiola when his Fulani gees were showing him love! Slave.

Simplyleo:
If anyone is in doubt of lamidi cownu's literacy, the emboldened should remove such doubt.

Ipob miscreants are illiterates.

MNK never typed that, Afonja domiciled in Benin Republic.

God bless MNK. The Igbos don't know the asset they have in Kanu. Other tribes are envious of Igbos so they call him names but inwardly they crave for a man like him. No wonder they jumped at a stark illiterate and coronated him an 'activist'.

Stuff is getting real. ESN the mafia.

Oga update us na. ESN the mafia.

Isoko and work wor sha

They killed okada riders!

The Fulani Caliphate!

The bottom line is that the Fulani militia killed innocent passersby and tagged them 'ESN'!

descarado:
Igbo love yourselves only.
The hatred is very real. On and off line.

Mind your biz. Let your right hand Not know what your left is doing.

as in eh

Divine202:

vibre:
I for wipe them three better slap. Is that how they look at elders in their village? That one even put his dirty leg on top of the man's Agbada
And who is that other Yoruba guy peeping sheepishly from behind? Why is he embarrassing his generation like that?

lol. I no see am sef. Na when I read your post I go check am.

Fulani ti takeover. God bless those that voted Buhari. I wish them what he wishes Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB and ESN.

Na innocent people them kill. How can ESN set up camp in Aba. See the bodies, na soft boys them kill. It will be surely avenged. For the Igbos in uniforms, you are on your own.

ablejesus26:


Anybody will just create nonsense and infuse it into nairaland

My own is that any group of killers be it known or unknown killing our people in Ala Igbo with the ones supporting them will meet their doom and destruction.

in Jesus name.

you will meet your doom at the hands of the Foolanis.

It was obvious that the people killed were innocent passersby, not ESN. But no problems, ESN would launch a guerilla warfare to avenge this carnage.

Fake news. The N. A. just killed innocent passersby.

I have never looked at Oduduwa map before but after seeing it today. I just feel happy and satisfied.

sokera:
I am 100 percent sure you are Yoruba ... Must you famz Biafra?

as in eh. The hypocrisy of these people is sickening. They are co-signing Biafra because of their yeye Oodua Republic.

History555:
I have the following advice for police and other law enforcement agencies.

1. Dont wear uniform to and from work. Go on mufti.

2. Don't go in groups. Go alone.

3. Set up sand bags at your station and mount guns ready for any showdown

4. Ensure no parking around your vicinity.

On a serious note i think this is the hand work of well trained men and not esn. Unfortunately kanu is addicted to publicity, show off, loud talk. Rather than absolve his men, kanu will claim responsibility for action he knows nothing about. That why i always view him as a man who does not think b4 talking. He has no plans for actualization of biafra. Give him 3 more years, he will fade off like massob

na so una talk

hollah123:
d same way nobody will know who d unknown soldiers will b.

I have noticed u lately that u are clever by half n u always avoid questions u don't have answers to.

last week I asked u about Nnamdi Kanu educational records with certificate but u ran.

same way oyigboupdate asked u why Nnamdi Kanu told u people all conditions have been met in 2019.
which conditions?
what conditions?
who made those conditions?

still u haven't gotten any reasonable answer to the question.

the blind knows it's ipob n d governor of imo said it live n direct on tv,go to twitter n see your fellow Igbos jubilating.selempepe has own up to it on this thread that it's ipob n it's now fire for fire,then y are u denying d obvious?

Nnamdi Kanu.
Government College, Umuahia.
London Metropolitan University, London.
B. Sc. Political Economics.
You can verify it.

peacekante:
So we have to wait until IPOB take responsibility before we know that south east is close to burning? Are you guys alright like these?

Someone who have asked his members to report any police check point and ask his members to pray for unknown/known Gunmen?

Someone who openly armed young people illegally with firearms?

Really?

you are mad.

Foolanis decimating Igbo police men.

How you seat at home, jumping from one thread to another at an old age, really baffles me. You must really be huge burden to your husband.
