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.

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.

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.

Nnamdi Kanu gave her a word of wisdom.. she adhered to it. Because she knows that FG has no case against Nnamdi Kanu

Nnamdi Kanu is a hero. I never supported IPOB but I support Nnamdi Kanu. And for any idiot that would quote me otherwise check everything Nnamdi Kanu warned about, if we are going to be honest with ourselves, is it not the reality of what’s happening now?

Nnamdi Kanu predicted that herdsmen would cause chaos, it happened
Nnamdi Kanu predicted that naira would be useless, we can see that gradually happening
Nnamdi Kanu predicted that bread would no longer be affordable for the poor, we can see that
Nnamdi Kanu predicted fuel would reach 1000 as far back in 2015. I don’t need to explain that
Nnamdi Kanu predicted that Tinubu would take over from Buhari, we don see am
Nnamdi Kanu predicted that farmers would no longer be able to farm, we don see am

He warned, he cried, the zoo government almost wiped out his household, his parents died with him still in detention he sacrificed himself just to say the truth about this useless government. But he was called a madman, a pig, a terrorist, a IndecentStar and all other demeaning things. My only fear is the future for my unborn children because Nigeria is really a zoo.

The Real TERRORIST are those that See the Truth, Know the Truth and Pretend to the public that it’s a Lie

Bobloco:
Any presidential candidate the Igbos don't vote overwhelmingly for turns out to be a failure.

That presidential candidate only comes to kill, steal, and destroy.

The evidence is there for all to see.

Brigadier Ogundipe’s 23rd August 1967 Letter (As Nigerian Ambassador to UK ) explains why Nigeria needed the British Government to supply FG with Weapons to fight Biafra after the Midwest was invaded by Ojukwu’s Biafran Army

NwaIdeato:
I'm not a fan of Zik due to his one Nigeria nonsense ideology, but he was absolutely right on this stand about that war. I don't even know why Igbos celebrate Ojukwu as some hero, no thanks to him we didn't only lose millions of lives for a war we were absolutely not prepared for (which he was aware of from the start), but that war pretty much is why we are in the mess we are in today, we absolutely lost everything even though we recovered our pride and economic power- thanks to the Igbo man's natural residence.

Ojukwu should have waited, planned, made diplomatic overtures to major world powers before declaring that war, I understand emotions were high and Igbos wanted out after the pogroms in the North, but we needed time to lock our wounds, heal, and strategically make plans to leave Nigeria with enough military support and logistics...neither of which we accomplished simply because we failed to plan.
