Nigeria is caught between the devil and deep blue sea...

The only politician that has a slim chance of defeating bat is Atiku, and that is if all other opposition politicians join hands. The election has to be a direct head to head. A straight split between 2 options.


The SE would have to stoop to conquer, sacrifice its presidential ambition to benefit in 4 or 8 years time (no guarantees).

the NC seems undecided.

The NE has nothing much to lose but will tilt towards bat because of the VP, but Atiku can capture a lot of votes there. The question is, would they wait another 4 years for the VP to aspire to president or want to get it immediately through atiku in 2027?

The NW will tilt towards atiku if kwakwanso sides with him and elrufia maintains his present stand against bat. The votes in Kano & Kaduna are massive and significantly influence results.

The SW will not go all the way with bat. For all thier flaws, they are still the most objective and open minded ethnic group in Nigeria. But Bat will have his usual advantage, though a significant number will give him the finger...

The SS seems to be keeping its cards close to its chest. However, if the edo election tribunal decides in favour of pdp, it will have a domino effect in the region, though wike's influence will be massive.

The SE should sacrifice without guarantees?!
You're a clown 🤡
Peter Obi will contest

Only one thing I ask from you, the result should be sent to my address: though I don't stay in Nigeria and I'm gonna post it on Nairaland with your personal details blurred.

“He was a young man consumed by crime, but he is now remorseful. Presently, he is a 200-level student of the National Open University."


Evans na young man? How na?

Releasing him would be an insult to the memories of those he killed. The best he should get is life sentence if the death penalty is to be discarded.




Arinze, Evans should be released on this premise?

I am sure you would also advocate for the release of Rev. King. Are you guys for real?

Yoruba hypocrite
You never advocated death or life imprisonment for the 5000 repentant Boko Haram members that were released yesterday.

Mumu
During the war propaganda
Ojukwu called him a coward too
Bring anyone after the war

omoredia:
Trump should really purge the system. Incompetence stinks

Incompetence as how?

kettykin:
No soldier, dead or alive, could ever attempt what Ojukwu did and walk away unscathed.

Imagine this: daring to confront a Nigerian force backed by the Soviet Union, Britain, East Germany, Egypt, Sudan, the Arab world, Cameroon, Niger Republic, Chad Republic, and the OAU.

Not even Gaddafi, with all his bravado, dared to take on the Western powers head-on. And look at Zelensky today—backed by NATO and the United States—yet he hasn’t managed to turn the tide of battle.

If Biafra had been armed to the teeth, Nigeria would have been relegated to the annals of history.

The audacity of Ojukwu’s defiance remains unmatched, a brutal reminder of what could have been.

Aptly said

Fulani taqqiya
Using an Igbo fool to write letters to his Yoruba slaves inorder to deflect criticism from his tribe

Ojiofor:
Ojukwu leaving earlier than when he left means the war shouldn't have been dragged that long.
If leadership position have fallen into the hands of either Nzeogwu or Ifeajuna they woulld have ended the war through negotiated settlement with FG because they were true federalist they never believed in division of Nigeria that was the main reason why Ifeajuna was tried and executed for treason.Biafra was bound to lose the war nor matter the tactics either conventional or guerilla warfare the odds was heavily against the Biafrans and in favour of FGN.

If Ojukwu had gone into exile when Aburi accord failed we have experienced great statesmen in persons of Zik,,Okpara,Akanu Ibiam,Mbadiwe etc...respected in Nigeria and international community who would have gotten us a better deal through negotiated settlement rather than outright secession that led to unprepared war on both sides. .
My personal opinion.

Zik who ran away abi another Zik?!

Thiefobi1:
Coward leader and people.

Ojukwu that was hiding in his bunker throughout the 30months war.


Same biafra war lead by a Yoruba man.

Stop typing lies
There were instances where Ojukwu was the last soldier to leave the town. I think that was the battle for Umuahia.
Have you heard any of his fellow general calling him a coward?!
OBJ, Danjuma, Akrinnade, Yar'Adua, Shuwa, IBB, Abacha or Gowon?!
Use your brains

They have started again.


The coup was not carried out by only Igbos. There was Yoruba, Middlebelt, and today Niger Delta soldiers among the coupists but you unscrupulous elements always make it look like it was just done by only Igbos soldiers.


You guys also intentionally ignore to tell the world why Michael Opkara the Eastern Premier at Enugu at that time was spared; Archbishop of Canterbury visited him that day and the coupists didn't want to attract British wrath, so they spared him.


Nnamdi Azikiwe the President was marked for killing but unfortunately as it was, his cousin, Ifeajuna who happened to be among the coup leaders leaked the coup information to him and Zik sneaked out to the Carribeans on health vacation grounds.


You guys also forgot to tell the world that Akintola was told about the coup weeks before and he communicated to Sir Ahmadu Bello his best friend whom he aligned with to persecute Obafemi Awolowo which was the main thing that even angered the young soldiers to carry out a coup to stop the political turmoil in Western Nigeria today Yoruba region between Awolowo and Akintola in which they unjustly jailed Awolowo that angered most of the young soldiers that carried out the coup.



Go and read "Why we struck" by a gallant Yoruba soldier that was part of the coup planners and leader.


When Akintola learnt about the coup, he said went and purchased a pistol swearing to kill anybody that near his residence thinking it was a child's play while Ahmadu Bello laughed it off believing his juju would save him.


Tafawa Belewa was not marked for killing because the young soldiers liked him, they only believed that Ahmadu Bello and Akintola were misleading Belewa but when the coupists discovered that the coup was already failing in parts of Nigeria like Enugu, etc, they angrily shot Belewa, a very huge mistake they made cos Belewa was a nice man




The coup was a military affair but they made sure it was turned to an Igbo people affair even when civilian Igbos were never carried along nor consulted.



And why will Igbos who controlled most sectors of Nigeria carry a coup; Igbo man was the President though with less power which he did willingly by allowing Belewa to become Prime Minister after winning the election while he became President which has more foreign influence while PM ran the day to day activities of the nation, Igbo man was the Senate President (Nwafor Orizu), Igbo man was the Chief of Army Staff (Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi), a man loyal to the Igbos, who also came from Eastern Nigeria then was the IG of Police, Igbo man was the documented richest man in Nigeria then (Sir Louis Ojukwu, Ojukwu's father).


Igbos dominated even Northern civil service because they were the most learned and qualified then which made Bello to issue a statement that they will stop hiring Igbos and start hiring foreigners if they can't find Northerners to fill the position, and also made Awolowo to start free education in Western Nigeria to enable them catch up with Igbos occupying virtually all positions including in Western Nigeria.



So there was no need for Igbos to carry out coup, the coup was entirely carried out by young, naive soldiers of which majority were Igbos from today Southeast and South South/Niger Delta in their foolish effort to rescue Nigeria from the hands of corrupt Nigerian politicians the British people handed power to.



But due to the already brewing envy against Igbos for cheerleading in most sectors in Nigeria then by the Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas, the coup was conveniently tagged an Igbo coup just as Yorubas conveniently tagged Peter Obi an Igbo Presidential candidate despite Obi winning massively outside Igbo states including in Lagos, Middlebelt, Northeast and Abuja.


Una go tire sha.



We will keep exposing you guy's lies and hatred for Igbos, all thanks to social media and Internet, so gone are the days of spreading dangerous propaganda against Igbos using Lagos-Ibadan expressway brown envelope newspapers

Ifeajuna never leaked anything to Nnamdi Azikiwe
If he leaked anything to Azikiwe, why were people like Okpara and Osadebay still in Nigeria?! Or you are telling me that Azikiwe won't have informed them?!
With the way things were going that time every discerning mind knew that a coup d'etat was imminent.
There had been few coups in Africa and around the world at that period so a putsch was a real possibility. The military had been forced into politics by the First Republicans. The Tiv Crises and Operation Wetie are notable examples.
The British GOC had even asked the Supreme Court for advice on who to obey between Azikiwe and Tafawa Balewa circa 1964. I think the Court told him to obey Tafawa Balewa despite the fact that Azikiwe was an Executive President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
Late 1965, Azikiwe summoned a meeting of the military brass and asked for their loyalty to the government. He asked them to stay away from any interference. They never gave him a concrete answer that day. Azikiwe simply knew that the jig was up and decided to embark on an indefinite medical holiday. The holiday and the accompanying junketing around the world was so confusing and tiring that his personal physician, a Bini medical doctor, had to leave him in the Caribbeans and came back to Nigeria. It was obvious that the medical trip was an excuse to leave the country.
Mind you, the politicians of the day knew that a coup imminent that third week of January 1966 but the mistake was that they erroneously thought it was to be carried out by the military brass. Brig. Maimalari and some top officers had planned a coup d'etat to be carried out on the 17th of January. People like Akintola knew about this and he went to Kaduna and informed Ahmadu Bello. He advised Bello that the best option would be for them to go to Niger Republic. Bello vehemently refused and Akintola went back to Ibadan. The rest they say is history.
The young Turks struck.
No one leaked the coup plan to Azikiwe. Everyone knew that a coup will be the climax of the shenanigans going on then and the wise ones left the scene early enough.
