Truefederalism:



The issue here was not cowardice per say, it was trust. The issue was not numbers, it was a problem of who to enter into alliance with, the gun or the truth?

Hassan Katsina saw the gun and stood his ground, even as he allowed the officer to proceed.
Ogundipe and Johnson saw the gun and decided to align with it against due process...


...I am of the opinion that the East does not know how to be tribalistic (maybe this is the result of practicing democracy throughout the prehistoric periods and precolonial era, and up until now)...

Deadlytruth:
@63Xtr63r,
The mere fact your moniker is just a jumble of unpronounceable digits and alphabets is enough testimonial to your sorry state. You have consistently refused to tell us the wretched and erosion ravaged village and inconsequential subdivision of the Igbo tribe you come from for us to compare with Unemeh. Are you not proud of your juju-infested and Otokoto shrines populated and miserable harmlet unrecognized even by the most detailed map of google? You have written a million lines of trash and incoherence here but have not been able to spare a line to tell us the name of your harmlet which is most likely to have more Otokoto shrines than humans. Daft hypocrite like you! It is very obvious you reside in Lagos, Kano or Äbuja where you make your daily living but keep deriding the tribes who have provided you an abode away from you miserable and erosion ravaged and uninhabitable Igbo village. You want Biafra but you are living and intermarrying with the very peoples you call ass lickers when actually you are their ass liking slave and guest. In your unquenchable thirst after the SS' oil you Igbos have made yourselves willing slaves of the SS. The wish of the SS is now your command. When SS says "stop" you stop. When SS says "walk" you even run. It is a pity that a people who are a major ethnic group in Nigeria have so lost it all that they have become subservient and obsequious to a group of previously insignificant minorities. Uneme-Nekhua is an integral part of the SS to whom you Igbos have willingly submitted themselves as slaves. So Uneme people are your superiors now. When we hold meetings with other SS ethnic nationalities and come out with any position our Igbo slaves must obey and act out our scripts. We put GEJ forward and Ironically you all voted for him slavishly even more than the votes he got from us. Your slavery to us SS now is such that you carpet your own fellow Igbos who contest against us. The SS (including unemes) is glad to have you as slaves after Hausas and Yorubas used and dumped you.
The Igbo nation is clearly a defeated one. Igbos have become the arse lickers of the SS just because they (Igbos) want an undeserved freedom from their Hausa-Fulani masters. In your blind quest for an unrealistic one Nigeria you first licked the arses and anuses of Arewanistan. Led by your Zik you first witch hunted Yorubas to please your Arewanistan masters. You caused crisis in the Western Region, killed Yorubas and jailed Awolowo just to please your Hausa-Fulani masters of Bello and Balewa. But after you failed to impress the Arewanistan with all your collusion with them against Yorubas and SS or get the one-Nigeria you so much dreamt of against reality, the very hausa Fulani whose anuses you licked began to slaughter you as a gift for your moronic licking of their anuses. Then you ran over to Yorubas and started licking Yorubas' arses and anuses all in the name of seeking a wartime alliance against your former Hausa-Fulani masters. All that while you were witch hunting the SS by jailiing Isaac Boro, jailing Enahoro, Killing Okotie Eboh, But Yorubas had not forgiven you but knew that you ran to seek refuge in them from the same Arewanistan in whose interest you had pummelled them. So they ditched you and left you in the cold during the war the same way you left them too in the cold in 1959 and married the Arewanistan through NPC-NCNC alliance. The Arewanistan crushed you in the War. In 1979 you went again to marry Arewanistan (NPN-NPP) hoping that such would afford you the power to take vengeance on Yorubas, but it failed as Arewa soldiers sacked that Arewa-Biafra government again. Then in 1999 you again coaleased with Arewa in PDP. While all the above lasted you Igbos did not see the SS as significant. But it was after both Arewa and Yorubas repeatedly fooled you and tossed you to and fro between themselves that you ran over to the same SS you had always despised. Now you worship SS and lick our arses. But we will allow you lick our anuses much longer than you did that of Arewa and Oodua put together before we kick you out when we are satisfied that our arses have been thoroughly licked clean enough by your sycophantic and boastful tongues. Just watch and see what happens after we finish using you to get back our federalism and resource control which Ironsi dismantled. We will use you Ironsi's brothers to get back what Ironsi took from us.
The strange feature of Igbo brand of enslavement is that they are not coerced into it but it is willingly done by them. They willingly submitted themselves to Hausa-Fulani in 1959, willingly submitted themselves to Yoruba man OBJ at the expense of their own Ekweme in PDP in 1998, and now they have out of their own free will submitted wholeheartedly to slavery under SS. And such people claim they want a separate republic? How can willing slaves be asking for freedom? It does not make sense.
Igbos can't do without the SS their newest slave masters. At the mere mention of a republic exclusively SS, Igbos start fuming, crying and gnashing their dirty teeth for fear of being left behind with Arewanistan. It is really great that Southern minorities now control, command and determine the fate and future of a major ethnic group in Nigeria.

You are the one already crying blood and sputum that the SS will abandon you with your old ally- Arewanistan. Igbos are the real parasites in Nigeria. They have invaded every nook and cranny of the country the way parasitic germs invade and spread over the host. Yet Igbo land contributes practically nothing to national treasury. That is why they find it difficult to stay back and develop their land. Only cursed hypocrites would claim they developed everywhere else while their own home is in squalor and reeking of underdevelopment. They are like swarms of flies buzzing all over every other region except theirs. The only tribe in the whole world whose population in diaspora is more than that at home. it is an indication that they are more comfortable outside home thus their homeland is barren and unfriendly to even they themselves. They prefer to be slaves outside home than to remain kings in their own home. A major tribe whose members hawk gala, soft drinks, plantain chips, roasted cashew nuts, etc under sun and rain in the streets of Lagos, Abuja, Kano, PH, Benin, Warri, Oshogbo, Ibadan, Yenagoa, Calabar, Illorin, etc. Which other tribe comes to hawk these things in the streets of Aba, Onitsha, Enugu and Owerri? Scums of the earth!
The man you quoted as claiming that Edo is not Niger Delta save for the constitution is himself not Niger Delta because we know the Niger Estuary does not cover the Igboid parts of the SS.
Ben Gbulie's account of the coup makes it clear that at the planning stage none of the targeted politicians in the hit list was assigned to any Yoruba or Northern accomplice but all to Igbos. Yet this fool is busy pursuing the futility of using all his weak links to establish that it was a nationalistic coup. Your revisionism can't wash it away. Nzeogwu made it clear that the mainland Igbos among them had a tribal agenda up their sleeves. I guess you'll call Nzeogwu a Yoruba or Bini man for indicting Igbos.
You claim that the coup was staged against the Behemoths in power who were using their might to make loopsided appointments and allocations of resources. Very watery arguement! Were Zik, and Okpara not among those Behemoths? Then why were they spared by the core Igbos? Crooks!
After telling you that the coup was an Igbo coup not by the composition of members but by the manner of execution, you keep re-posting your endless list of hundreds of Yorubas and Northerner participants as if that changes the fact that only none Igbos ended up being killed while no Igbo lost his life. Why not furnish me with an equally long list of Igbos who were killed by the Jan 15 1966 coupists if you are sincere and honest? Nzeogwu himself declared that they were just five in number. All the rest names in that fraudulent list of yours were inferior officers who were commanded to the scenes by Nzeogwu and were merely taking orders from Nzeogwu their superior. The could not disobey Nzeogwu even if they wished to. The Sgt. Oyeleke who tried it was gunned down immediately by Nzeogwu. Who else would not value his life to dare Nzeogwu again?
The other foolish response you Igbos give to this demand of a list of slain Igbos in the Jan 15 coup is to quickly claim that the coup was meant to release Awo and make him prime minister. How does that answer the question? If the core Igbos in the plot really so loved Awolowo and were angered by his imprisonment then why did they not kill the Zik who colluded with the North to imprison him? Fraudsters!
A report in the national archives has it that after successfully breaking into Balewa's residence Ifeajuna and Okafor stopped communicating in English with each other but switched over to Igbo. That was obviously aimed at preventing the other junior non-Igbo officers whom they forced to go along with them from knowing their ulterior motive which was the Igbo agenda. The same Ifeajuna tipped Zik off before the day of action and when he arrived Enugu he only paid Okpara (another one of the Behemoths) a courtesy visit before fleeing to Ghana. Yet this nonentity keeps claiming it was a nationalistic coup!
You are now shedding crocodile tears over the massacre of Igbo civilians in the revenge coup of July 1966? I thought you said Igbos are brave? Why could they not stop their own massacre by their bravery but had to later go and seek support for secession from the "cowardly" Yorubas?

You foolishly ask why the counter coupists transferred their annoyance on Igbo civilians in the streets rather than just eliminate the top Igbo political class. Very poor question! Most of the top Igbo politicians had escaped from sight after being spared by Ifeajuna and co.
Now, why did the Igbo coupists of Jan 15 transfer their anger with the politicians on innocent military officers like Maimalari, shodehinde, Ademulegun, etc? You think an innocent civilian's life is more sacred than an innocent military officer's life before God or men?
And to worsen the issue those Igbo guys spared some of the guilty civilians like Zik and Okpara while killing innocent military officers like Maimalari and the rest.
Why middle-beltern civilians were not massacred as a result of the Dimka coup were that;
1. Dimka was immediately caught and executed by Obasanjo thus all frayed nerves calmed unlike Ironsi who protected the Igbo boys and even started transferring them to eastern prisons and after six months counting he refused to punish the plotters.
2. Unlike Igbos who celebrated the Jan 15 1966 coup in the streets and markets of Kaduna just like how you have severally praised Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna and Okafor for bravery in your comments here, the Middle-belters did not jump into the streets to celebrate Dimka's action. They were sober and mournful. But Igbos and spirit of vicious triumphalism!
I know fools like you claim six months were not enough for Ironsi to apprehend and execute the Jan 15 coupists. However the same Ironsi took less than 3 months to apprehend, arrest and have Adaka Boro's case pursued from the high court to the Supreme court which convicted him of treason and sentenced him to death. Yes Adaka Boro was not Igbo so he was quickly tried and sentenced by the ironsi Jaunta. Igbos are smart indeed! They are really good business men!
You also wonder why ironsi did not deserve death and you credit him with peace making. Very puerile of you. A peacemaker who got Boro sentenced to death for declaring s separate republic but was treating with kid gloves his own brothers who killed innocent men, pregnant women and unborn babies in cold blood. A man of peace who dismantled federalism against the public interest. A man of peace who began to tamper with the constitution when the public did not demand constitution review. A man of peace who kept Enahoro, Awolowo, etc in jail while releasing Northern prisoners and negotiating with them. So much for a man of peace!
You also wonder why Yorubas were not wiped out as a result of Diya Coup? Then I ask you how many Yorubas flew into the streets to celebrate Diya's coup in the North the way Igbos celebrated Nzeogwu's coup right inside Kaduna streets and markets? No other tribe celebrates or identify with the unwholesome things done by their own members. You. People's arrogant, overbearing and domineering greed is too disgusting and that's what inspires the hatred every other tribe has for you. Even the Igboid groups in the SS have a completely different attitude, and that's why other tribes find it cool to relate with Aniomas and Ikwerres very freely. Aniomas living in Benin are very warm, homely, calm, diplomatic, rational and down to earth. There are some really very humble, diplomatic and rational SE Igbos anyway, but are however too few in comparison with the whole.

You mentioned so many Yorubas who fought on the side of Biafra but you people keep claiming Yorubas betrayed you. Then how? Did Ojukwu not later kill some of those Yorubas?
If you were not a slowpoke you would have long realized that as long as Igbos make it look as if the Southern minorities have no God-given right to seek their own country separate from Biafra, then Biafra too has no God-given right to seek a separate country from Nigeria.
You call other tribes treasury looters? An Igbo man, Azikiwe, was the first treasury looter in Nigeria's history. He was indicted of fraudulent managing of the Africa Development Bank by the colonial authorities. Also an Igbo man, Ironsi, was the one who centralized the treasury thus making it easier to loot larger sums more easily from it. Himself obviously wanted to loot from it but was killed by Arewa before he could dip his hands.
You Igbos remain the perpetual slaves of Arewa and Yorubas. You started taking courses in Hausa and Fulfude languages since 1959 when you entered into the NPC-NCNC alliance. Remember Zik could speak all of Yoruba, Hausa and Fulfude. So with Okpara.
Ekweremadu has just zoned PDP ticket to Arewanistan to feature him (an Igbo) as the junior slave partner and running mate to Saraki. Remember Ojukwu returned from exile and joined NPN the Arewanistan party.
When an Arewanistani (IBB) took PDP ticket away from Ekweme and gave it to an Oduduwa descendant (OBJ), rather than protest you Biafrans all bowed and shouted "Ranka Dede" Mallam. And you call others slaves and arse lickers of Arewa when you yourself have so licked their arses to colourless and are now licking that of the SS.
You will continue to worship the SS till federalism and resource control return. You will continue to tremble and cry over the prospect of a southern minorities country without Biafra. Parasitic gold diggers that have stuck to the SS like ticks just because of oil.

Deadlytruth:


Who are Igbos' mates? Were they known before the arrival of whites? The Edo Kingdom and its peoples were already known in Europe as far back as the 13th century while Igbos were yet to even identify themselves as a tribe.

So suddenly Igbos are no longer interested in sharing a country with "ass lickers and Arewanistan" after they (Igbos) held us together with ass lickers and Arewanistan by their fraudulent "One Nigeria" sloganeering against our wish? You people's hypocrisy is mind-boggling. So you knew people were ass lickers and Arewanistan yet you sought oneness with them and even held them back when they tried to separate from Nigeria?

You knew Nigeria was a cesspit of Arewanistan and ass lickers yet you held Isaac Adaka Boro back from exiting the cesspit? What an interesting Irony!
When will you guys just be honest enough to accept that you were the cause of all what you now regret? You keep hailing Zik as a nationalist yet you term as a cesspit the very "one" Nigeria he built with his so-called nationalism. What an interesting irony! That's tantamount to speaking from both sides of the mouth.

Until you answer me clearly and prove me wrong that Igbos were responsible for preventing the de-amalgamation of Nigeria your diatribes will always appear escapist and evasive in my eyes. Why can't you for once be honest and acknowledge that your Zik and Ironsi caused your seemingly irreversible bondage with those you call ass lickers and Arewanistan?

Well, the Enahoro who represented me saw it ahead that Nigeria was going to be a cesspit and he therefore proposed the secession clause in the constitution to make it easy for us his people, the yorubas, the Hausas and even Igbos, etc to exit the union later on if they felt cheated, but your Zik who was having wet dreams about one Nigeria resisted him and termed him a tribalist for that. So whose fault is it that you are now not able to exit the cesspit today?

Any educated and enlightened person knows that the only feature that distinguishes confederal constitutions from federal and unitary ones is the provision of a level of looseness which guarantees the right to secession. The constitution of Nigeria would therefore have been confederal if Enahoro's suggestion of the secession clause was accepted by Zik and his fellow Igbos. But Zik argued that the unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable and that secession clause was inimical to national unity and "One-Nigeria". Now, is there national unity today even with the non-inclusion of the secession clause? That means Zik was wrong, misguided and was fooling you people all along, yet you keep hailing him as a nationalist.

Even the truly federal constitution bequeathed onto us at independence was working fine. It was still one Mr. I- know-it-all from Igbo land that first tampered with it at a time the public did not demand constitution review. What was his motive if not fraud? It was his action that morally emboldened all others that came after him to fully bastardize the constitution from its wholly federal character to the unitary form which Braithwaite complained of. So whose fault again other than Igbos'?

My Uneme-Nekhua people can't be seeking ways to salvage Nigeria as you charged us to. We won't do so because Nigeria has always been beyond salvage and we knew and acknowledged that right from Adam. Only Igbos refused to accept that reality and gospel truth initially.
Our blood has never been shed by Northerners at anytime as we, unlike Igbos, rarely go up North to seek greener pastures but go to Lagos or overseas for which we might be called prostitutes but however not killed in the process the way Igbos get killed in the North and have still remained there seeking one Nigeria. It is rather you Igbos that have had their blood repeatedly shed by Northerners to keep Nigeria one as directed by Zik. In furtherance of that Igbos kept forming alliances with the North each time after Northerners shed their blood all in a bid to "salvage" one Nigeria. Is that the way you want us Unemes and indeed all Edos too to contribute to the "salvaging" of one Nigeria? Igbos' laughable ways of reasoning! Ha ha ha ha....... Please cut that crap of a suggestion cos we are not that silly.
Our blood is too precious to sacrifice trying to correct the blunders Igbos made against all wise counsels and are still paying dearly for.
Your claim that Igbos are not ready to form a country with Arewanistan, ass lickers, treasury looters, blah, blah, blah...is pure rubbish as Igbos and Hausas are one and the same in Nigeria's politics. The BIA syllable of WAZOBIA is an Igbo word which, on the surface, means "come" but actually is the short form of BIAFRA in deeper meaning. So Biafra is part and parcel of WaZoBia. In fact Bia is directly tied to Zo in Wa-zobia spelling meaning that the Hausa and Igbos are closer together than everyone else. Just check it out Wa (ZoBia) meaning Yoruba (HausaIgbo). There is no Edo word in the Wazobia appellation. It is all a Yoruba -HausaIgbo affair. Live with that reality. Hausas love you and you love them even when they are slaughtering you. It happened in 1945 and 1953 yet in 1959 you went into a political marriage with them called NPC-NCNC (Arewanistan-Biafra) coalition. Twenty years later, in 1979, you again went into the NPN-NPP (still Arewanistan-Biafra) coalition. Twenty years again, 1999, still you went into the PDP (Arewanistan-Biafra) Coalition once more. Do you think the twenty year interval is just being coincidental? If you think so consider the fact that a Biafran called Ekweremadu zoned the PDP (Arewanistan-Biafra) ticket to Arewanistan North against 2019........another 20 years from 1999. Open your eyes and see that Hausa and Igbo oneness is non-negotiable as Zik put it. It even follows a rhyming pattern.

Many NLanders who dont support NLC strike keep saying NLC should talk of minimum wage rather than fuel hike. I think that's a weak point of argument and so i won ask: "How Many People Minimum Wage don Epp?"

My point is simple: If anyone wants to argue for deregulation as being the best option, then its best to do so without bringing the minimum wage into it cos that is a story for another day.

I therefore believe that NLC was right for refusing to negotiate minimum wage at a meeting meant to address fuel hike. Also, there is no how FG would claim min wage is a "palliative" because that is a baseless argument...
