Treason according to what constitution, given the fact that Ojukwu’s Biafra occurred during a military dictatorship where the constitution is not operational but governance is by fiat & imposition of might over reason?

JAMO84:
So as at the time Ojukwu was trying to remove Biafra from Nigeria, he was commiting treason and actually deserved to be shot dead at bar Beach.


Azikwe made sure Nigeria is indivisible, but his children are crying all over social media today, telling ordinary citizens like me to let them go, as if I used rope to tie them.

You eloquently explained Awo’s duplicity & deceit with regards to the issue of secession.

Armaggedon:
Zik stood for regionalism and federalism with financial and legislative autonomy where the regions developed in their own pace. No contradictions.

One of the most confusing figures in Nigeria's history was Awolowo. He claimed he wanted secession and zik rejected. But when the opportunity presented itself during Biafra, the same Awolowo made a complete U-turn and and started fighting for a unitary one Nigeria as championed by gowon. His attitude justified Zik's opinions about him.

For those who claim his demand was in good faith, his demand was rediculous and he knew it. He was neither here no there. There is no sovereign state in the world that has secession in it's constitution. If he truly wanted his region to be alone he should have demanded a pre-independence referendum like southern Cameroon or pre-independence partitioning as in British India. Opting for a secession clause instead of pre-independence referendum clearly indicated lack of commitment to specific ideology from Awolowo. You can't officially keep one leg in the country and keeping one outside. A snake he was.

OLODO RABATA!

I want you to read this with an open mind, impartiality and of course don't hesitate to fault/pick the points/facts you think are not right from my write up. This is d story of Nigeria; Let's see who is at fault here cos we always pick on Hausa/Fulanis............

Historically, Hausas/Fulanis and Igbos formed alliance politically in the first republic while Yoruba party led by Obafemi Awolowo remained active in the west. (Igbos didn't see themselves as slaves to Hausas/Fulanis then cos they are not d Yorubas). Read on pls...

Igbos(Easterners) have always been an active members of every military/civilian government/administrations since the first republic and all the subsequent military administrations. Nnamdi Azikwe was a Governor-General/president and Tafawa Balewa was a prime minister while Yoruba politicians were only active at the regional level. Nnamdi Azikwe party formed alliance with Hausa/Fulanis party when the latter was unable to win majority votes. And till date, nobody from any part of this country screamed blue murder................(Igbos were friends to Hausas/fulanis then, not slaves until Yorubas formed alliance with Hausas/fulanis)

In 1963, the coup that killed a whole lot of Northern and western top military officers and politicians was led by Easterners(Igbos) and no single soul from the East either in military or politics lost his life despite the fact that there was an existing alliance between Igbo party and Hausa/Fulani party; both parties formed that tagged corrupt government(according to Nzeogwu but only Hausa/Fulanis were corrupt in that government with their ally(Akintola) in the west). I presume you can feel the pains of the Northerners and some Westerners.......

Who subsquently became an acting Prime minister when Tafawa Balewa went missing? Nwafo Orizu(Igbo) became an acting Prime minister and subsquently handed over power to Major-General JTU Aguiyi-Ironsi (Igbo), the GOC of the Nigerian Army.

Aguiyi Ironsi(Igbo) became a president and single-handedly destroyed our flourishing regional governments in his quest to have control over all the regional governments. Read this Bro, Aguiyi Ironsi refused to killed or failed to put the coup plotters (Igbos) on a trial as was advised by Northerners' politicians and ended up transfering all these coup plotters to the Eastern prison. Can you imagine Igbos being subjected to this kind of treatment ina ny government? Igbos would definitely screamed blue murder.

Against all advice, Ironsi promulgated Decree Number 34 of 1966, which abrogated the federal system of government and substituted a unitary system. He didn't stopped there, Aguiyi Ironsi went ahead and appointed Igbos to every sensitive governmental positions. The same thing is repeating itself in 2014 again and i am wondering what Igbos would say/do in this century if an Hausa man become a president either in 2015/2019 when everybody has now witnessed their behaviour under Jonathan administration...............

Northerners started their own madness in 1966 i presumed (The Killing of innocent Igbos on the street of Northern Nigeria) which was barbaric but the subsequent coup which equally led to the death of loads of military officers from Eastern part of the country was good and justified to me though cos what goes around, comes around; And to every actions, there must/would be a reaction.

However, Northerners military took over power from where Aguiyi Ironsi left it-Unitary system of government led by Igbo and life has never been the same ever since again.

Second republic came in to place in 1979 and westerners weren't active in this administration because south west party(AG) which was led by chief Obafemi Awolowo narrowly lost the election to Shagari led party. And again, second alliance came between Igbo party and Hausa/Fulanis party...............Westerners remained active in the west throughout this administration. (Igbo never see themselves as slaves to Hausa/Fulanis during this period)

Military took over power again and straight back to where we were after d first republic until Obasanjo(Yoruba) was forced on us by Northern military cabals in 1999. Howerver, Yorubas waited for Obasanjo at the polls and did what was necessary at that point it time; Obansanjo was completely rejected by south westerners through their votes but managed to get Easterners and Northerners votes.

And before i go, Igbos-from Soludo, ezekweseli, Ngozi Iwela, Okadigbos, Adolp Wabara, Nnamani, Ekwerem, Thomas Aguiyi Ironsi, joy ogwu, Iyorcia Iyu, chukwuemeka chikelu, Frank Nweke, Lesley obiora, Okereke-Stock Xchange, DG Nafdac-Dora Akunyili dominated Obasanjo administration. And in Easterners' quest to tag that government a failed government just cos Obasanjo is Yoruba man, they failed to realise that it was their brothers and sisters in this goverment that failed cos Obasanjo wouldn't have able to single-handedly taken decisions while people like Nnamani, Okadigbo and Wabara are in Senate...........If you are still in doubt about the fact in this very paragraph, my next point ll definitely convince you how much damage Igbos have caused this great nation called Nigeria. But With all these failures, Baba administration is far better than what is obtainable in the present administration today.

And finally, can you now tell me who dominated this existing failed Jonathan government if not Igbos? And pls, look at where we are today; all their failures are now staring at the entire world in the face. It is quite clear to the world that this is the most inept, unproductive, inactive and corrupt administration ever in the history of Nigeria. The only active members of this administration is Akinwumi who is from Western part of the country and Stellah Oduah(Having seen what she did compare to no attempt in the past, I ll say she tried in my own opinion though and d corruption issue is a topic for another day)

South westerns will never support their own son who has been found guilty(not politically motivated though) on corruption charges- Bankole, Bode George could only get things done politically in PDP but let them come to main Yoruba political sphere and see how they would be treated..................

Pls, can u tell me who has been causing problems from what you read up there in all fairness?

So true!

You must be an imbecilic animal, the same people you helped to fight Biafra, collaborated and bribed your Yoruba animalistic leaders to have[b] abiaola, kudirate, bola ige slaughtered by the ordinary almajiris.[/b] You should be ashamed of yourself because yoroobas remains the only dirty occultic tribe that have continued to be the bane of Nigeria till this day. Why are you so myopic and cloaked with your silly ethnic bigotry that you have refused to see the destruction done to the Yorubas even in this present dispensation, by the same people you connived with to fight the Igbos. I keep saying it until yoorobas are clearly wiped out from Nigeria this country will not know peace.

The usual tribalists are here but the bolded is another misinformation just to support a point of view. Abiola, Kudirat, Bola Ige, and others from different parts of Nigeria were killed by someone / forces trying to preserve themselves. IBB was reported to have killed / orchestrated the killings of these people because of his drug connection and more! Read here: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-802181.0.html

Now, most of the e-fighters here are sitting pretty away from Nigeria where they just run their mouths. None of you were witnesses to the actual events so you need to learn to accommodate contrary opinions while providing references that support your opinions.

Didn’t u comprehend what was written? Ironsi’s SMC had already released Awo & he was going to announce it before he was killed by Notthetn coup plotters.

If ojukwu set Awo free against the federal wishes, he would have simply being locked up on arrival in Lagos. My assumption will be both parties needed him onthier side and Awo made the decision to side with the Nigerians, if that is a good thing or a bad thing, o don't know but surely a lot of lives were saved by that decision.

We don suffer!

Yes!

impressive. i guess fashola aint the only one doing big thangs

And u think people are paid minimum wage in America?

Sapeleboy911:
Haba bro over 400k minimum wage? The minimum wage is around $7.5 per hour. If that guy is on a minimum wage, he can complain; there are poor people in America, too.

OLODO RABATA!

Alakoriomo:
Don’t know. But I’m sure it’ll be over 400,000 dollars per hour

Interesting!

Pojomojo:
The first one I am interested in knowing the rate.

OLODO RABATA! Zik verbally opposed secession clause. Awo who advocated for secession clauses physically fought a war to crush secession when it practically happened. If u advocated for secession clause in past which was rejected & less than 15 years after your suggestion came to physical manifestation., the natural thing to do is to say “ l told you. I have been vindicated” & support the secession, not fight for to war against it.

Vado:
Nnamdi Azikiwe was the architect of Southern Nigeria’s misfortunes. So greedy for leadership of a delusional united Nigeria he allowed shortsightedness prevail over logic. Northerners love him more than people in the South. That should tell you something. May he continue to chill in Hades.

Ask them again!

Were you and your god not against $1 - N216? Was fuel not N87 when you guys went mad on the streets?

I Plead For Forgiveness From The Yoruba Nation
__________________________________________
Once again, I wish to humbly appeal to all Yoruba people to please forgive and forget my indiscretion on my Facebook comment on Friday, 9th June 2018 which, understandably sparked off widespread outrage. I never imagined in my wildest dream that an offhand remark could provoke an anger of volcanic dimension which has threatened my career and Vanguard Newspapers as an institution.
The offensive comment did not come out the way I intended it - as familial joke - but as an adult I am solely responsible for the outcome. One moment of madness has threatened my 29 years of living and working in Lagos during which I have made friends from all ethnic groups, and not among the least the Yorubas. I sincerely regret this unfortunate incident.
I must say that the indiscretion was not done at the behest, or on behalf of, Vanguard Newspapers. That is why I have serially issued my heartfelt apologies to my Yoruba compatriots both as a group and personally to those whose contacts I possess. Happily, almost all of them have shown uncommon understanding because they know me very well and have followed my work as a journalist closely.
Nothing could be further from the wrong notion of "ethnic hatred" some have ascribed to me. I have enjoyed mutually beneficial relationships with people of Yoruba ethnic stock as with a cross-section of other Nigerians, both high and low. This is probably not the forum to go into details on this because of space constraints. Therefore my apology is total and without reservations.
I take the blame for my failure to realise the damage such careless and irresponsible comment could cause. It is a big eye-opener and lesson to me. I regret the trauma this unfortunate episode has caused everybody.
I am willing to play any role required of me to end this matter peacefully and promote understanding. I have learned my lessons and I am eager to prove that I have no hatred for any group whatsoever, not least the Yoruba ethnic group. Their generosity of heart has promoted the corporate existence of Nigeria and provided all Nigerians and even foreigners a condusive environment for self-actualisat
ion.
On this note, I completely retract that offensive post because it neither represents what the illustrious Yoruba nation stands for nor my perception of them. I call on all my friends, kith and kin to please join in all efforts to restore confidence, mutual respect and love which were badly shaken since this nightmare started.
Thank you, and may God bless you all. And may God bless Nigeria.
Your compatriot,
OCHEREOME NNANNA

They can’t!

MasterJayJay:
50 kg rice went from 45,000 naira to 100,000 naira within a year of Tinubu's tenure.

Prove to me that same scenario happened in Canada or keep quiet.

" Igbos are eyeing the oil in south south but will want to be the superior tribe which the south south will never allow"

How are Igbos eying the oil of South South? Is oil the most important resource for economic progress?

manikspears:
Epp me tell them o, a true hero wins or die fighting. The so called hero did non of the above in war he is a deserter and disgraceful death is the penalty . In idiagbon's case who wasn't in the country when the coup happened, he returned without knowing his fate because he believed in his own Nigeria. If Nigeria allows biafra to go today there will still be war between them. Igbos are eyeing the oil in south south but will want to be the superior tribe which the south south will never allow. Instead of fighting for biafra let's think of how we youths can have a voice in Nigeria because we don't. We are slaves, for some of us working with international companies and home based what they pay us is criminal. There is increase in goods and services but no increase in salary. No wonder why almost every girl in Lagos will open thier legs for money.

You hit the nail on the head?

gidgiddy:
The Ore debacle exposed Yorubas as two-tongued people. It is absolutely ridiculous that some Yorubas castigate Ojukwu for invading Ore, yet, Yorubaland was already under occupation. The Northerners, led by Gowon were sitting comfortably calling the shots in Lagos and Ibadan, yet Yorubas were more concerned about Ojukwu. The Northerners literally held the Yorubas hostage in their own land. Ogundipe who was the most senior officer of the time was kicked out of Nigeria while Adeyinka Adebayor who was far senior to Gowon was made an 'ordinary Governor'. Two highly decorated senior Yoruba officers reduced to 'Houseboys' by the Northerners right in Yorubaland.


When it is something that concerns the Northerners, the Yorubas will cow-tow and feign ignorance. When it is something that concerns Igbo's, the Yorubas will suddenly remember they have a tongue.

It is time for Yorubas to drop this "the Northerners are my master" mentality.

Notwithstanding, majority of Yorubas, both leadership & followership, are (MORAL) COWARDS!

Sp1ritHusband:
They are the real fearless freedom fighters. You forgot Tai Solarin.

I laugh hard whenever anyone from my tribe refer to Yorubas as cowards.

So true!

Racoon:
The solemn truth! And the earlier this contraption is dissolved and all regions goes it separate ways the better. One Nigeria is not and will never be attained. We are ideologically and geographically wide apart.

Totally agree with you!

SyrusdeHansome:
Nigerian politicians only know how to loot. They're empty mentally e.g is the Edo state governor. Muslims in Saudi Arabia have turned a country that's not as blessed as Nigeria into heaven on Earth but the Christians and Muslim leaders in Nigeria only know how to embezzle, kill and destroy with fake promises of a better future. A future they promised our grand parents, parents and now us.

So true!

2elliot:
As an Ijaw man I will continue to laugh at Adaka Boro and Ken Saro-wiwa, as they continue to turn and gnarsh their teeth in the grave. Madafakas! Those men singlehandedly gave Nigeria the civil war victory with their treachery. They are the founding fathers of "our oyel" mantra. Oil exploration that started in 1958, but just 8yrs into it, his greed for oil money pushed him into shouting our oyel, now over 50yrs after we are yet to enjoy the resources.

Naija!

kutchs:
The biggest crime committed against the Ogoni people was the killing of Ken Saro Wiwa and his eight colleagues. Their crime was that they mobilized their people against the exploitation of their land. The tribunal was headed by Justice Ibrahim Auta. Other members of the tribunal were Justice Etowa Eyo Arikpo, Lt Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (the incumbent Comptroller General of Customs), while the government prosecutor was Mr Joseph Bodurin Daudu SAN.
The Provisional Ruling Council (PRC), the highest decision-making body of the Abacha regime that took the decision to kill Saro Wiwa comprised General Abacha, Maj. General Patrick Aziza (Minister of Communications under Abacha); Major Gen. Tajudeen Olarenwaju (GOC); General Abdulsalami Abubakar (Chief of Defence Staff); Lt. General Oladipo Diya (Chief of General Staff); Maj. Gen. Victor Malu (GOC); Ibrahim Coomasie (Inspector General of Police); Mike Akhigbe (Chief of Naval Staff); Maj. General Ishaya Bamaiyi (Chief of Army Staff); Nsikak Eduok (Chief of Air Staff), and Lt. Gen. Jeremiah Useni (Minister of the Federal Capital Territory). There was no Igbo man.
It was Chief Emeka Anyaoku, an Igbo man, who as the secretary-general of the commonwealth of nations, that led a protest that made the Commonwealth of Nations to rise to the occasion, and warned Abacha not to carry out his wicked act. Although he later did, the Commonwealth under Anyaoku sanctioned Nigeria.
Today, ask an Ogoni man to show you his enemy, he will point at an Igbo man.
May the spirit of Saro Wiwa, and his eight colleagues hunt you for your foolishness.. An eye opener..
Paul Achalla
And we said;
Kenule Saro Wiwa was the champion of that foolishness. A man educated at the famous Government College Umuahia ( Fishers) and University of Nigeria,vNsukka. He led the federal forces against the Biafrans and for his betrayal was made Administrator of South east state. He asked that Igbo properties be declared abandoned properties and be forfeited to them. He personally took over Ojukwu father's property in Port Harcourt which he occupied at a time with a certain Lt. Sani Abacha his friend and killer. To rub in the humiliation of Igbos whom he hated so much, he wrote " Toad for Supper" which was a mockery of how they made Igbos suffer so much during the war that they fed on toads and lizards. He encouraged the Ikkwerres to deny their Igboness and assisted Elechi Amadi to invent the corruption of Igbo names by adding "r" and "y" to form jargons like Rumuokoro and Oyibo instead of Umuokoro and Obigbo. This they said is Ikkwerre a distinct language and tribe.
It is important to note that Ken Sarowiwa was not killed by his co travelers for agitating for environmental rights. Environmental rights was one of his pastimes which he used to extort money and exert influence on government and oil companies. He was killed for the murder of five Ogoni chiefs( Chief Fugbara, Kogbara Kobani et al) . These were men who were opposed to his immoral and outlandish lifestyle and actually wanted a more responsible engagement with government and oil companies. He labeled them vultures. Masterminded and led a mob attack on these men and killed the five of them in a single day. It was a murder trial and environmental issues was not on the charge sheet. He was found guilty, convicted and hanged. His friend and collaborator in arms, now Gen Sani Abacha was the Head of state. It was not in vain that Ojukwu, (may his soul find peace), made effort to see him at Port Harcourt prison before his execution. Of course all effort to save him by the emasculated Igbos had failed. Emeka Anyaoku did his best. God bless him. Ojukwu visited him and greeted him " Good morning" in broad day light.#copied#

U seems to be the only that had a smidgen knowledge of international politics. The rest are as hollow as Trump himself.

God1000:
This is a viable alternative man

If Donald trump actually read a book, he’d learn that neither protectionism nor isolationism work in this 21st century, these countries can do the same tarrif on US as well

You don't know that U.S. arrogance and bullish behavior is the very reason BRICS was formed

He's going to destroy US economy and push allies away, he knows nothing

" Forget about who fire the first shot. Declaring Biafra then was an act of treason because there's no provision for a secession clause in the constitution. So, Gowon only did his constitutive duty by protecting the territorial integrity of Nigeria then"

WHICH CONSTITUTION MADE SECESSION A TREASON? WHICH CONSTITUTION WAS NIGERIA PRACTISING UNDER MILITARY DICTATORSHIP WHIC WAS ILLEGAL & UNCONSTITUTIONNAL?

Alokendra:
You expect us to be neutral when you had brought the war to our doorstep. We would not watch and allow you bring the war to the Yoruba land. The same thing is playing out today. You guys are happy that the SS is bombing pipelines and destroying their lands while you preserve yours. You encourage them to blow more pipelines because of your hatred for the Yoruba and Hausa. Why don't y'all blow up pipelines in your own regions? IMO state and Abia state have oil fields. No, you wouldn't, but would rather advise the SS to destroy their own lands.

Forget about who fire the first shot. Declaring Biafra then was an act of treason because there's no provision for a secession clause in the constitution. So, Gowon only did his constitutive duty by protecting the territorial integrity of Nigeria then.

Ojukwu and the FG had their eyes on the SS oil. This was why Gowon separated the minority regions from the core ibotic states. This was a brilliant chess move by Gowon. Ojukwu, seeing that he'd lose control of the oil regions declared Biafra immediately to retain control. There are videos of Ojukwu on youtube where he was boasting when he was asked if he was prepared for war. Don't blame the Yoruba for Ojukwu's over bloated ego

Breakaway
On 27 May 1967, Gowon proclaimed the division of Nigeria into twelve
states. This decree carved the Eastern Region in three parts: South
Eastern State , Rivers State, and East Central State. Now the Igbos,
concentrated in the East Central State, would lose control over most of
the petroleum, located in the other two areas. [55][56]
On 30 May 1967, Ojukwu declared independence of the Republic of
Biafra - Wikipedia

The civil war was all about the oil, and if are to go by the constitution, Gowon did the right thing.

OLODO!

Olabestonic001:
Awo definitely saw the minds of the North and East during that rumble and he subtly supported Regionalism while not over-committing to any of the Gladiators then. Some misinformed youths always lampooned a man who from the word "go" made it clear that his region has no "military" might to get its hands soiled in a war and would rather follow events than commit blindly to either parties. He also affirmed his support for diplomacy and self-determination, the yearnings of IPOB and its sympathizers. The question is "why is he still despised by these folks?".

DO YOU LIVE IN USA to reach the conclusion that 99% of what the world uses today are made in the USA? I live in the USA. What you vomited is arrant NONSENSE!

Alakoriomo:
Still, I don’t think Americans need to travel anywhere sef. They don’t need Europe. They don’t need the 47 European countries. 99% of what the whole world use today are made in the US — foods, electronics, drugs, etc. Farming activities from the US feed 98% of the whole world. If the US stop sending money, goods, foods and other things to other 197 countries in the world, we will all die. In essence, if they want us dead, we will be dead.

There’s plenty of threads on Yoruba people caught in same act . From Lagos to Abuja

But the op is out on a quest .. he failed before he begin

But who cares ..

They Yoruba government is pushing all to survival and the Igbos don’t have the time to keep being petty

The heat is getting on Tinubu and his boys … they need something to cool off and divert attention

But we must keep the pressure

Wetin concern him village pple?

heniford2:
Lol China self 🤣🤣 just build something and Chinese comes to see it he will snap it and photocopy it not more is original again China and fake stuff

Define a coward?

PulaPower:
Ojukwu the coward..

So Ojukwu is now the fall guy for Yoruba treachery & cowardice that led to Abiola’s demise?

ALTERNATEID:
Going by what Ojukwu said, Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa and a lot of Obidients and Ipob apologists should be charged for treason and hanged. I can't count the number of Igbos that have called for sanctions against Nigeria simply because Peter Obi lost an election he obviously cannot win no matter the circumstances. Nnamdi Kanu without any election has severally declared himself the President and leader of Biafra Republic. Simon Ekpa named himself Prime Minister of Biafra. They even went ahead to form military force and security service outfit.

The problem with folks from the SE, whether young or old is that they don't think before talking and acting. They are too consumed with whatever they think they are and as a result, are too myopic to see the bigger picture. Ojukwu was foolish as a young man and was still very foolish as an adult. Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa both had the opportunity of learning from Ojukwu's foolishness but they still opted to follow the same foolish path. The so called Obidients are not the same. Like someone said on twitter, "Omode go, agba go lafi da ile Ibo". He may not be wrong after all.
