8 coups happen in one country, but only one is ever discussed, and given ethnic tag.

That's when you know there's mischief making somewhere

That particular one was the first. Many top leaders of ethnic groups alongside their wives were killed but some certain leaders of the Eastern extractions were spared. Isn't that historic enough? It was the first and it set the tones for others. It will forever be the most discussed

Tjra:
Zelensky is not a coward but he is a certified fool.

Fighting a senseless war he can never win even in 100 years to come.

You think he is wise to keep wasting the lives of his people?

Maybe when Putin bombs his family, hin head go correct.

You mean Zelensky should sign the agreement giving Ukraine's minerals to the US. That's steal by trick! Trump is a thief.

MrPristine:
But hypocrites like you were celebrating what he wrote against Atiku in the same book even though you all know that it was politically motivated, you then suddenly find something wrong with what he sincerely and factually wrote about that criminal that is currently parading himself as Nigeria's president'.

Ode, where is your evidence on my comments on obj's comments on Atiku? Obasanjo and Atiku combined are no match for Tinubu's level of smartness. If not for military advantage, what credential does Obasanjo have?

YoruBads:
Una go hear the news very early

Omo ibo will still call you names like cowards, betrayers etc.

Stop deceiving yourself believing Obi would have performed better as President. I am talking with facts Anambra people confirmed Obi was a total failure as governor. Your likes and Anambra people who complained bitterly about Obi back then are hypocrites who think we are forgetful people like them The links below were created in 2010 to 2013 during Obi's second tenure as governor. He is no match for Tinubu by any standard.

was a failure as a governor. Enjoy!

From the same Obasanjo who once said 'election was a do or die affair'?

The same Obasanjo who melted evil on the people of Odi town?

The same Baba Iyabo whose daughter Iyabo has nothing good to say about him, her father?

Dey play.

Gotocourt:
Tulumbu on this one

America no longer safe Haven , oya na


Agbado munching miscreants will still say Oando CEO Wale Tinubu not related to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. State capture na understatement, Dangote had to get dirty for successful sales

Your wahala too much. Your line of thoughts too is not balanced. We need importers to keep importing so that dangote is not only source of this product. This ensures competition which will key the price in check.

babdap:
Are schools closed in Islamic Countries during Ramadan?

See, the whole Islam thing doesn't actually make sense a religion. So, so many things won't make sense too.

Saga16:
That old vegetable- Babangida would not die well.

Noo... The Igbos now love him so much. They live the north so much. They love their tormentors and killers so much because he has told the kind of truth that suits their hearing.

Him mama elder sister! God, helep your children o.

Even the government of SA are so petty!

olatade:
The drastic price hike from N145 to over N1,000 should be met with a corresponding drastic reduction, not minor, piecemeal decreases.

You actually lack knowledge of the fuel price story. You sound quite naive.

gidgiddy:
There are many Chinese, Indians and Lebanese in the South West, and indeed Nigeria. But there is China, India and Lebanon.

Even if all Igbos move out of SW, it won't stop Igbos and Yorubas being in the same country. What is hard for you to understand here?

The only time you can tell people to go back home is when they have a seperate country, same as Nigeria can tell Chinese, Indians and Lebanese to go back to to China, India and Lebanon

If Yorubas truly want Igbos to go back home, they should support Igbos to get a separate country

Get it once and get it right. Yorubas are not interested in anything about you, either you leave or stay. You are the ones complaining about Yorubas always. It was when your trouble was getting too much they said you should leave.

If we are in the same country and you always complain about us, calling Yoruba Muslims, while we don't call ourselves such names meaning you are not okay with us, nothing stops you from leaving. E no sweet but you no spit am out. Because Yorubas that are Christians don't propose the idea if calling Yorubas that Muslims 'Yoruba Muslims '

The fact that we are in the same country doesn't mean you can't return to your village by the way. It's funny you saying Yorubas should support you leaving . Awolowo once tried to make it easy for any ethnic group who wished to leave do so easily but Azikiwe opposed it. The question now is "is Igbo man willing to leave'?

gidgiddy:
Pushing for Igbos to leave South West while Igbos and Yorubas remain in one country will change nothing. What changes everything is when Igbos and Yorubas are in two different countries, then there will be nothing to fight over any more

Imagine!

You have your own states and Yoruba have their own states. More of you are in their own states and they tolerate you. They don't kill you nor attack you. In fact, there is nothing they did to you that they haven't done to their own people. But it is you that will still complain because you can't just tolerate others. They were fed up and told you to kunkunma go to your states. Now you are can't go because it's still the same country. If you know you are not okay with them, why don't you just go back to your village. Abi na by force?

zeuss:
Are you not a Muslim?

I'm not a Muslim but from a Muslim background We are originally all 4 Muslim kids. 2 are now Christians including me while 2 are still Muslims. Same thing has happened in the extended family. I also have them all around me. Yoruba Muslims don't oppose you. They live their lives normally. You don't have any proof to claim Yorubas that are Muslims have done to you Igbos. Even though I don't approve of the principles of their religion, they still live their peacefully, an act which is not even the nature of Islam. The real nature of Islam is what Boko haram and Isis are doing. You can't even point to any jihadist group killing people in South west.

Most of your arguments lack substance but you still hold on to it. It is not good to see nothing and begin to make something of the nothing based on your imagination.

gidgiddy:
Igbos and Yorubas have no business being together in one country, they are eternal political enemies

Exactly, that was why Yorubas pushed that Igbos leave south west but what did the Igbos do? They started crying up and down instead of just leaving. You see the igbo hypocrisy?

Yobabad:
. I told is Yoruba Muslims that are causing the problem, why are igbos not having problem with Calabar people, no problem with Idoma people, no problem Ebira people, I think the Yoruba Muslims feels that igbos are blocking them from total islamasition of the SW,

What exactly are the Yoruba Muslims causing for the Igbos?

You should be able to state it in clear terms!!! Islamisation? What evidence or headlines can you sight to show that Yoruba Muslims feel the Igbos are the ones blocking Islamisation? There are more Yoruba Christians than the Muslims and it was not even the Igbo man that brought Christianity to Yoruba man. In fact, Yorubaman brought Christianity to the Igbo man.

See one of the ways in which you lack wisdom and you shoot yourself in the foot. An Igbo man in Haroun Mohammed Eze is the secretary of Muslim council of Nigeria. He was the one that signed Sultan of Sokoto letter to southwest to introduce Sharia. You can see that it's even an Igbo man that is championing Islamisation of south west. What an irony but that's how you people try to claim what is not! Omo ibo, go and calm down cos the more you look, the less you


Have the people you call Yoruba Muslims ever targeted the Igbo man verbally or physically? What are your proofs? See, all these your baseless claim only shows your obsession towards the Yoruba man. You make it so obvious that you have nothing to hold the Yorubas responsible for anything against you but you just choose to make unfounded noise about Yorubas.

MadPolitician:
Thanks for the information on the names and locations of different ethnic groups in Nigeria. Unfortunately, that was the only truthful thing in your write up. That is because igbos are not in any sort of competition with the Yorubas, neither are the igbos fighting the Yorubas. Rather, it has always been the other way round.

The Yorubs since the founding of Egbe Omo Oduduwa by Awolowo, have made the destabilisation and destruction of the igbos a centerpiece of their political strategy. The January 15th coup only provided them with the excuse they desperately wanted to try ethnic cleansing on igbos. All through their support for the fulanis endless wars against the igbos, they have always sited that coup as the reason, because according to them it was an "igbo coup" perpetuated to enforce igbo domination.

That's why they have all been running from pillar to post over the last few days, trying to ridicule Babangidas book that emphatically stated otherwise. They have to find ways to mess up that book, because if the tales in that book are accepted, it means they had no reason to join the fulanis to start a killing spree of igbos since the 60s. So it is the Yorubas that are fighting the igbo. The igbos are only defending themselves against a dangerous enemy that has gleefully unleashed genocide on igboland in the past, without showing any atom of remorse.

Oh Yes. What I see about you Igbos is you lack the wisdom of discernment. Yorubas are not the first group of people to form a social-political group. Igbos did in Ohaneze. Why should Yorubas then be blamed for forming a group? It's all lies.

One of the things that still surprises me is the Igbo cleansing idea. Who tried to cleanse you abeg? Was it not the Hausa man? Before and even after the war, it has always been the HausaFulani who is usually responsible for attacking others. Yorubas at many points in time have been attacked and killed too. So, how is it the Yoruba man that is responsible for what the Hausa man is doing? Besides, your Hero Nnamdi Azikiwe and some top Igbo military officers then were born and bred in the north. They understood and spoke the Hausa and were therefore closer to the Hausas. Is that Yoruba's problem? Hausas killed you in the north in thousands but no Yorubas ever touched you. In fact, during the war, many of your people living in South west then ran to Biafra. Those that have properties and businesses after the way, came back and met their belongings untouched. I once had a story of a Yoruba person that was collecting the rent for the igbo man's property and handed all the money to the Igbo man when the Igbo man came back after the war.

It is still lack of wisdom of discernment when you feel that IBB is your source of the truth. IBB who killed his childhood friend for political gain is the person you now find so trustworthy. The man who call himself the evil genius and maradona has talked and his words now seem to be your standard truth! I really laugh at you. Watch your back bro, the HausaFulani man, your killer that you ignore but attack the Yorubaman might be coming but you don't always know because you are too focused on the Yorubaman.

Yobabad:
I don't think igbos have any problem with the Yorubas, it Yoruba Muslims that are hiding under the umbrella of the Yorubas to fight religious war, Yoruba Muslims are the ones causing the problem

What exactly was it that the Yoruba muslim did to you? What religious war? Did Yoruba man kill you? . You Igbos are the real problems. You make unnecessary noise anywhere you are. Okay, why was it that it was you the Hausa man decided to kill in large number in the north? Why is it that there are more Igbos in prisons of other countries than other Nigerian tribes? Kindly answer the question

Sheuns:


No be you dem talk to, na you dey respond.

Why you dey comment? He talked to every Nigerian when he chose to talk on TV.

zeuss:
Nobody has hatred more than u people..........allow the ignorant and miseducated to have a clear understanding of the real issue.......Igbo will rather stand with Yoruba than with you

Oga, Igbos stand with Hausa jorr! Which kind lie be that na? Igbo follow Yoruba ke?

Wahabfuture:
You are jealous of the great Igbo, stop hiding it

What does the Igbo man have that Yoruba doesn't have o. Na Hausa kill you, no be Yoruba yet na Yoruba jealous of you. Fir what exactly?

zeuss:
They started killing igbos enmass in the North since 1948. Its all about jealousy...... At the slightest chance to blame or kill Igbo the North jumps at it. Igbos were still being killed in mass in the North up to the early 90s. It's all about jealousy.

Just like the Yoruba Muslims like you will always look for a reason, mostly imagined to blame igbos.

I understand you can't afford to talk without dragging Yorubas into it. For example, what did Yoruba Muslims do to you exactly? Was there anytime Yorubas either Muslims or Christians killed Igbos in the south west? See, you people display too much stupidity and attract a lot of hatred towards yourself. It was so bad Hausas started killing you which Yorubas don't approve of. But why drag Yorubas into the killing of Igbo in the north by Hausas? Wetin concern Yoruba gangan? It's only on nairaland that I see Yoruba Muslims. I'm a Christian from Muslim background. Muslims and Christians are so mixed among Yorubas that you can't split us. Go and work on yourselves and leave Yoruba alone.

hmohammed:
In the Bible, the age of marriage for women varied, and some notable women did get married before the age of 18. Here are a few examples:

1. Rebekah: Married Isaac at a young age, possibly around 10-12 years old (Genesis 24:15-67).
2. Rachel: Married Jacob at around 14-15 years old (Genesis 29:1-30).
3. Leah: Married Jacob at around 14-15 years old, possibly even younger than Rachel (Genesis 29:1-30).
4. Mary (Mother of Jesus): Estimated to be around 12-14 years old when she became engaged to Joseph and conceived Jesus (Luke 1:26-38).
5. Esther: Possibly around 14-15 years old when she was taken into the king's harem and eventually became queen (Esther 2:1-18).

I wonder why people condemn early marriages by Muslims in the North.

The dumb people of the blind faith have come again with their open display of stupidity.

1. There is no where in Genesis 24 that suggests Rebekah's age not to talk of being either 10 or 12. The passage only described her as a 'damsel'. Dictionary defines damsel as a 'young unmarried woman, not a little girl Verse 58 further shows that they asked her if she was okay with the marriage proposal and she gave her consent, not like the forced marriage your Prophet engaged a 6 year old in. You saw something somewhere, you picked it and posted it without making attempts to read it yourself. Isn't that heights of stupidity? Anyways, that's how you Muslims do, always trying to manipulate the Bible.

2-3. Therw is also no where in Genesis 29 that suggests Leah and Rachel's age. Your education is beginning to sound like a waste.

4. Same with Mary mother of Jesus. You really guffed.

5 Same with Esther. You are just like your prophet the deceiver and a paedophile that he is.

Righthussle:
OP is either a pulpit bandit or the child of a pulpit bandits

You didn't address what he said. You only chose to insult him. That's how nonentities actually.

hatchy:
And so, Why is this a story now?


Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.

1 Thessalonians 4:11

How is it now a crime to celebrate the man? Because it's not Ashake, right? Just a post on nairaland o?

gohf:
Ok, was the criteria for the marriage because she was an old virgin based in the UK?

Was it God directed or research directed 🤔 because I wonder how many old virgins they found.

Well I pray such miracles occur for our Nigeria single elderly women as well, it's not good to grow old alone.

I know there will be comments from idiots. At least, this is not like the people of the other prophet that was busy lashing every woman around him alongside a 9 year-old girl and his daughter-in-law.

Chibuzoc:
Mention one person that was killed in prison during the yoruba coup.

If awolowo wasn’t imprisoned there would have been no coup

Lols. There were 3 Premiers, the North, the West and the East. There was a coup by the people of the east. They killed prime minister, premier of the west and north and left their own in Michael Iheonukara Okpara. They killed others and left their own and someone who ran Nigeria to the ground has now come to tell you HIS OWN side of the story and you are masturbating in it. The same set of people that denied you Biafra are now your best friends. That's Nigeria for you actually. Osinbajo in his speech said it all.

NoIgboSoundTueh:
Awolowo was sentenced to ten years imprisonment in 1962
So to answer your idiotic questions he was in prison and wasn't the premier then
Igbos killed the premier Ladoke Akintola

They killed people of other regions and never touched their own. Moreso, the coup plotters were Igbo senior military officers. They used unsuspecting young Hausa officers who didn't have an idea of what was going until they observed that they were only killing their own people and Yorubas under the instructions of senior Igbo officers. That was how they targeted and killed igbo civilians in retaliation. Real history attached. The evil genius who killed his own childhood friend has written a story and they have fried egg on it to eat it belleful.

JAWBONE:
Tinubu who his slaves always hail as a NADECO Democrat was the one who led the fund raising and book launch for IBB.

IBB is the man who cancelled the election that NADECO was fighting to restore the mandate.

While Abacha was busy putting true NADECO Democrats in prison, Tinubu had ran abroad.

His clown zombie slaves will disturb you with noise how Tinubu fought for June 12

It is obvious how dubious in character the person called Tinubu is.

Zero integrity, just full of propaganda

Tinubu confronted IBB on the annulment of the election. He further tried to reconvene the senate and was arrested and charged to court. In the process, he ran. What's dubious in that? Do you want to compare that to your Agbari Ojukwu who led your fathers to war and ran away dressetas a woman?

CSTRR:
You are very nuts.

Refinery is functioning, and Nigeria is still importing 25million litres per day?

Your illiteracy is high level. The news says Nigeria consumes 50 million litters, produces 25 million and imports 25 million. How is Nigeria refining 25 million if refineries are not working? Try to use your common sense given to you by God now?

Killerofpigs:
NNPC still importing while..

Warri is working
Port Harcourt is working
Kaduna is working
Dangote is working


But you are still importing..


A shameless regime Governed by same people that shout mandate and Sophisticated stupidly.

The government who made refineries work is more shameless compared to the previous ones who couldn't make the refineries work by your standard? Okay, Nigeria was importing 200 litters. Now it's importing 100 litters because local refineries now cover for 100. For you, that's not good enough to begin with.

Mind you, I saw keke in a part of Lagos yesterday running on CNG. I approached the guy and asked him how much he buys CNG per kg and he said N250. For you, that's not commendable.

Stop making your education look like a waste just because of hatred. If person dey cry, e still dey see but I realise you close your eyes and cry openly just because you hate Tinubu.
