Isaac Boros case is different, he only made a declaration. To this day, nobody knows what part of Nigeria he was declaring Niger Delta Republic, nobody has seen his map

I could go to my backyard right now and declare 'Pankshin Republic', it does not mean anything

2mch:
You, majorly caused the rot in Nigeria and disappointed yourself and all your family members. This baba need to die in peace and leave Nigeria alone. He’s too old to be this manipulative. It does not work anymore.

DaddyCoool:
Example, see my video above. A whole grown man saying he abandoned a lengthy detailed agreement that he willingly signed because of who made announcement first!😅
What has announcement to do with following an agreement you signed??!

MightySparrow:
If you were in his shoes you would understand better. Igbos and the north were political friends while West played opposition. He was facing a threat from his political friend and another from Awolowo who wanted a secession without shedding the blood of his people.
If you were such a leader, would you want the nation to disintegrate like that?
Tinubu, our current president once said he didn't believe in Nigeria. Now, as the president, would he wish the nation to scatter?
I don't think so.

Aburi truce was between the two warring sides and it didn't solve the problem in its totality. He had to choose the easiest way out, which was war

Mind you,he is a soldier. He thinks like a. military man not a civilian. So, when you people criticize, think about the man also


Tinubu is punishing us now for his economic life policy as an accountant, who believe in saving money and having value for money. Whatever his reasons I need food on my table. Yet he sticks to his policy.
Na sọ my brother.
The igbos should allow the dead dog to lie and do reasonable politicking. The last election showed that something great is in the about to happen. Rather than igbos abusing everybody, especially yorubas, it is easier to get the presidency through the three southern, geopolitical zones and Christian middle belt than aligning with the north. For now, the north doesn't want a Igbo president.

Fujiyama:
A poster above says Buhari had a 'poor intellectual background'. And the current man has what?

This administration made 2 major moves: the removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the Naira.

Today the administration has reinstated the subsidy but it has not made the exact figures public...and there's a reason for that. One of the industry players (Pinnacle oil MD/CEO) said the subsidy now runs at N1 trillion per month currently. If the man is correct, that raises the question: What was the point of subsidy removal then?

Today the administration has taken at least one facility (Project Gazelle) that by the government's own admission will be used to prop up the currency. For how long will this 'intervention' be sustained...and more important, what was the point of the float in the first place then?

I am no seer but I wager that before the end of this year, this administration will again go before lawmakers to ask for approval for a supplementary budget to cover these costs. When that supplementary budget is passed, the real extent of the subsidy reinstatement will be known. The forex management outcomes is a little bit trickier to predict...but I ask the experts - what happens when you run out of money for currency defence?

EmperorCaesar:



It means "Sheath your sword and return to your farmland"

Igboho and his likeminded clowns from that side should get the F away from FG's presence

We twice had the chance to do this in the past but both Azik and Ironsi ensured we will remain stuck here.


If u vex, hit your head on the wall but just know say nothing go later sup

God Bless Nigeria

nedu666:
Nigeria elected a man who during his first media chat did not know the meaning of inflation, Buhari in 2015 did not know that west Germany and the deutsch mark was no longer in existence, he was asked how he would tackle unemployment and he started talking of fighting corruption in the lake Chad basin. Imagine at that age and status how ignorant Buhari was of happenings in the world. Yet Nigeria elected him and expected him to transform the country

UltraSolid:
Emefiele was not the problem. He was merely a pawn. The real problem was the Fulani cabal Buhari turned into the rulership council of Nigeria even as some of them had no official position. They took advantage of Buhari's automatic allegiance to Fulanis to sell him outrageous policies that destroyed Nigeria yet they packaged as a means to secure Fulani economic resurgence.

I was a Buhari fan too when he came to power but I don't follow any leader blindly because the delivery of economic progress for Nigeria is why I vote. Not constant hero worship of any leader when I know man is patently flawed. Continuous support for leaders should only be based on them continuing to do well.

It is dishonest and revisionist to try and paint Buhari a saint deceived by Emefiele and co when they merely just used our former CBN governor. Buhari had a Fulani supremacist agenda. He did a lot wrong because of that outlook.

LOVEALAIGBO:
Reading this just makes me sad and melancholic! How we became TRAPPED sharing a country with highly evil and envious people whose only purpose in life appears to be to use their control of the centre to exploit all the human and natural resources of the rest of the country primarily for their own and their regions benefit….and to sabotage Igbo interests while at it!

Sadly, what you advised in your last paragraph would be near impossible today with the kind of self-centred and state-centric Igbo i see posing as our political elite! I don’t see a Dr M I Okpara capable of having a Igbo-centric zeal and approach to development in any of them….probably with the exception of Governors Mbah and Otti!

IGBOSON1:
^^^The bolded is one of the reasons i get exasperated with this country!

From the 60s to date, the rest of the country has been bending over backwards to accommodate the Hausa/Fulani......even to our own detriment! And the annoying thing is that even with all the affirmative action they've had (a case in point being Buhari being allowed into the military without having the minimum requirements, and raising to the rank of general and head of state), they still have a sense of entitlement to this day, and still can't compete on a level playing field: they want quota-system and federal character retained; and they don't want true fiscal federalism, so everyone can develop at their own pace and not be held back by those not interested in western education and competition!

I don't know about others, but i want out!!

MadPolitician:
This man has been desperately trying to burnish his dilapidated image recently. This man has been part and parcel of every evil that happened in this country. Was part of Murtalas coup, was part of a stupid war, supported the military come back in the 80s that truncated the democratic government then, supported the cancellation of June 12, before fighting Abacha over personal reasons.

Became the president in 1999 and started the whole proces of relegating the legislature to the background, while enthroning corruption. Obasanjo started this dubious practice of combining the office of the Petroleum ministry with that of the presidency. It is no surprise that Buhari and Tinubu, another two corrupt presidents have followed suit. Obasanjo should leave Nigerians alone. He is part and parcel of the mess this country has found herself in. Ruled Nigeria for over ten years and he is still pointing fingers?

Sheuns:
These so called democrats are worse than the military. But they’re quick to talk down military regime as bad. I was born in military regime and those periods were better economically than this present democracy we find ourselves in. At least the military only go after those that say things about them. Abacha that was called all sorts of bad names had a much more friendlier economy and living conditions than what we are experiencing from this so called democracy fighter.

They call military rulers dictators, when they themselves are tyrants masquerading as democrats. It’s a shame when you begin to engage in something you condemn. We have valueless people as leaders in this country and it’s sad. Men of no honor and value, they’re all after money and power.

Anything wey him like, make him do

twosquare:
Ironsi already abrogated the resources of all the regions to the centre, thereby ending the regional autonomy. It is called unification decree for a reason. Gowon acted on what was on ground already.

"It was the decree that started the death of regionalism....General Gowon further compounded it by promulgating the Decree 14 of 1967 which broke Nigeria into 12 states and provided military governors for each state. With decrees 34, 8 and 14 regionalism was finally buried"

https://guardian.ng/opinion/history-and-the-future-of-decree-34-of-1966/

So, trying to pander to the feelings of your host or so is dishonest. When you have taken all the resources to the centre, what remains?

Aguiyi Ironsi abolished regionalism and resource control...Gowon, out of necessity due to Ojukwu's rebellion, further buried it by breaking it up into 12 states.

And now your people have removed their clothes and moved into nudity and brownery in 2024

Nice role reversal.

JagabanB:
Civil war was fought in Nigeria.
Places like Benue, Rivers, Kogi took a hit from that war, lgb0s claiming to be the vîctîms of the wàr they started as always.

Smartcitizen:
And no president has ever picked anybody from his region before as INEC chairman.

I just pray that the Yorubas should do what they will be able to accept in future because Nigeria will not end with Tinubu's fumbling government.

Melancho:
100k for a stunning website. Offer is still open!

omoredia:
Nigeria has more than enough. But when leaders don't take the people as priority they will only give excuses instead of giving results. Na educated illiterate Nigerians like Soyinka I blame. Educated mor0ns

Fibonacci88:
Police just exposed themselves by not participating in the election. It shows that 90% of rigging a f violence in Nigeria elections are instigated by the Nigerian police

chigator2:
Yoruba would have said that Nigerians are facing the consequences of not voting in the most educated and sophisticated tribe in Nigeria.

MadPolitician:
What is your ethnic NATIONALITY?
I think the time for the talk about state creation has passed. We are now in a different planet. Rge north never wanted to hear that. They should now go and join Niger or Chad. The injustices of the last 6 decades are so enormous and painful that only a permanent break or a rigid regionalism will do.

gidgiddy:
Now you know why the North will never allow Nigeria to be restructured

FarahAideed:
The truth is that the NIGERIAN civil war is not what we think it was ...We have been mislead into thinking it was a War to stop secession while in essence it was a northern led military offensive to bury regionalism and pave the was for Northern dominance of Nigerian polity and administration .

Today the north is on another offensive which is to weaken destroy the second tier of Govt ( states ) creating a road of northern dominance of state structures...People open your eyes ooo

VinnyBaba:
The title of this thread should have been Tinubu/APC m0rons
now see that HUNGER does not do tribal affiliation, to deal with anyone in Nigeria. 😕

They are the ones that refer to any Critics of Tinibu USELESS policies,
as being an Omo-Igbo or from Anambra.

Very Mumu Pple.

Christistruth00:
If the God fearing truth be told Wellington Bassey was a Calabar man and after the NCNC Zik and Eyo-Ita Eastern Region Saga ,Wellington Bassey's career was deliberately sabotaged by Zik and his allies in power to make sure Ironsi eventually emerged as head of the Army. He retired from Gowons Govt as a Brigadier in 1975.

According to Robin Luckham, Wellington Duke U Bassey was Commissioned in 1946 so it is likely his seniority was backdated from 1949. to 1946. which made him Ironsi's senior In the Officers Corps by about 3 years .

On the the day that Ironsi became the head of the Army , Bassey was serving in a posting meant for a Captain .




Robin Luckham in his book. " The Nigerian Military " also mentioned that W.U Bassey was supposed to have been assassinated in the Jan 1966 Coup but he had managed to escape.

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.

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.
