A contraption where thousands are killed and displaced from their ancestral lands without the army and police doing anything to dislodge the invaders is INDEED A FAILED COUNTRY.
What is the excuse for failing to dislodge terrorists? Are they stronger than the military or is the military intentionally not doing anything to help the displaced citizens? Whatever is the reason, the conclusion one can come to is the fact that Nigeria is a FAILED COUNTRY.
When tribalism and whatever sentiments beclouds your judgment to the point where you can't 7say things the way they are, then truth is far from you.
If by your definition, the average description of the situation of a territory is subject to individual interpretation, then you're not educated. Kidnapping and abduction with massive ransom payment is at its highest at any point in the history of Nigeria. The attacking, killing of farmers and destruction of farmlands is also at its highest point in Nigeria's history. Any foreigner will ask about the function of the Nigerian police and other security bodies. The answer they will readily get is that the citizens are victims to both terrorists and the Nigerian security bodies including the police and army. How else do you define a failed country or state? It wasn't this bad under Jonathan yet the people claiming all is well now were all baying for his blood in 2014/15. One can see the level of their hypocrisy.

You all should take note of this post by next month, June 2025. The Nigerian army who have not arrested one single fulani terrorist killing and destroying farmlands in Benue state will suddenly begin to be very visible and active in Tivland now. All these while the Tivs suffered, the Nigerian army was and has been silent. However, now the Tivs have arose to do reclaim their land from invaders, you'll see the Nigerian army in full force with fighter aircrafts dropping bombs on Tivs. They'll give excuses for those bombings but the goal will be to kill off more Tivs for fulanis to fully occupy the land. You first heard it here.
Since you love 'One Nigeria' so much be ready to sacrifice your lives for the people who formed 'one Nigeria' just to preserve it. Your homelands will eventually be taken by Fulanis.

Inferiority Complex

It was your people working very hard to discredit Wellington Bassey

We had already mentioned Ironsi many times and we gave you information about Ugboma you didn't mention

We never said Wellington Bassey was the first commissioned Officer.
We said he was Ironsi and Ojukwu's Senior officer by far but he was greatly disrespected by both of them

For example look how you they to label him uneducated yet he finished Secondary school before joining the Army
which ironically Ironsi didn't


Then they tried to label Bassey incompetent which he wasn't

Then they tried to label him as Old when he was only 7 years older than Ironsi

Inferiority Complex is very well applicable to you because you can't stomach the truth that an Igbo man was the first to be commissioned. Unfortunately, history is emotionless. It deals only with facts. Whatever information you provided about Ugbomah was irrelevant to our discussion since it has been established that he was the first.

Ironsi was Bassey's contemporary with both commissioned in the same year, 1949 as Second Lieutenants. Bassey was however ahead of him with just two months. Who's fault was it to commission both men the same year even though Bassey joined long before him? Nnamdi Azikiwe's?
Going further, Ironsi found more favour than Bassey in the 50s as he was selected to be Queen Elizabeth's Equerry(PA) when she visited Nigeria in 1956. He was eventually awarded a British honour of MVO. I've not been able to track exactly what Bassey was doing at this time but I suspect he was used as training instructor in the Nigerian Military School, Zaria which was formed in 1952. Ironsi was to spend most of his time outside Nigeria on different courses while Bassey was in Nigeria.
In the late 1950s, there was an uprising the Cameroon region of Eastern Nigeria. Ironsi alongside other soldiers were sent there. Ironsi was to handle the position of a 2IC. Bassey wasn't sent there. Was it also Nnamdi Azikiwe doing his thing against Bassey?
In 1960, both officers had the same rank of Lt.Col but Ironsi was selected to lead the Nigerian contingent of the UN Peace Keeping Force to Congo. He was already made the Commander of the Brigade stationed in Kaduna. Two officers led the Nigerian troops namely Lt.Col Ironsi and Lt. Col Rolo Price. Ironsi went on to perform well in Congo and even won the award for gallantry from the Austrian government. However, there was a breakdown in order among his troops when one of his Nigerian soldiers died in battle. He and his troops were withdrawn back to Nigeria and Lt.Col Ademulegun and his own troops were sent as replacement. The command was now handed over to a British commander called Lt.Col Morgan.
Again, Bassey wasn't selected to lead any troop to Congo. Ironsi was posted to London as a Military Adviser in second part of1961 were he studied in the Imperial Defence College and was promoted to a Brigadier. Bassey between 1960-62 was appointed to Command the Federal Guards Company and retained the same rank of Lt.Col.
When Ironsi returned, he was sent back to Congo in Jan. 1964 to become the overall Commander of the entire UN Peace Keeping Force with a strength of nearly 20,000 men. To handle that position, was given another promotion to become a Major General. This rank is equivalent to what the British GOC of the Nigerian Army had at the time. He however shed the rank and reverted back to a Brigadier when he returned to Nigeria in mid 1964. He only assumed a full/proper Major General when he was selected as the GOC of the Nigerian Army when the British soldiers left in 1965. Ironsi was however murdered a year later in 1966. So tell me how Azikiwe was the reason for Bassey not being promoted from 1961 to 1966. Tell me also how Ironsi disrespected Bassey?
I told you I'll destroy all your lies.
As for Ojukwu, he was the Commander of the 5th Battalion in Kano when the Jan. 1966 coup happened. He arrested all those in Kano that were part of the coup and locked them up thus helping to defeat the first coup. That was very brave and tactical that Ironsi couldn't ignore. You do know that there were other Igbo officers like Njoku and Madiebo that were senior to Ojukwu in the army. So not appointing Bassey or Kurubo can't be seen in badlight when you know these informations. Was it Ojukwu’s fault that he was selected by his superior ahead of others?
Here are some key points to note when discussing Bassey. No one mentioned him in both the Jan. and July coups. It was as if he never existed. No one attempted to harm him because he was an outlier in the army he instructed and trained many. Could his age, personality and laid back/less adventurous lifestyle be the reason? Ironsi won a medal of gallantry and got two British honours but Bassey had none for the over 30years he served in the army. Was it also Ironsi's fault? Lastly, it was Ironsi who promoted him to an 'acting Brigadier' and sent to Kaduna to command the 1st Birigade after Ademulegun who held that position was killed in the Jan. coup. You still had the temerity to accuse and insult Ironsi. Let others be the judge for themselves.

Wellington Bassey joined the Army in 1935 at 18
Ironsi joined the Army in 1942 also at 18

Wellington Bassey was 7 years older than Ironsi

It is your innate desire to be always destroy the leaders of others that is making you slander and pull
down Bassey

I said you should provide proof but you didn't. Do you just expect us to believe all you wrote?
Here's my proof. I'll crush all your lies with truth.

Christistruth00:
Gen Ironsi failed the Course but was only passed based on indigenous officer quota


Wellington Bassey commanded the First Battalion Kaduna

Only first class officers Command it!!



You are giving out fake news just to slander Bassey

Bassey was 7 years older than Ironsi


Wellington Bassey was not Ironsi’s mate Professionally
He was an officer in the Second World War!!!

Hahahahaha. It's not sufficient to provide conjectures online in this age. Provide proofs for all your allegations. For example, show that
1. Ironsi failed the specific course necessary for him to be promoted to a Lt.Col position but was still promoted under the British commanders in the 60s. As we all know, he got all his promotions under them.
2. Provide proof that the age gap between Bassey and Ironsi was just 7yrs as against my 16years claim.
3. Provide proof that he was an officer(commissioned) during WW2 and state his rank at time (1939 - 1945).
It's time to prove not just conjectures from a debased soul. If you fail to do so, shame on you.

Christistruth00:
Ugbomah was from Uzobulu he retired from the Army and became a Physical Education Teacher around 1949
after Wellington Bassey became number WA1


To be honest with you during the First World War Hausa Soldiers served as field Officers
and one won an Award as a battlefield officer I will try to find his name and Biography again
It was astonishing

Have you finally accepted the Ugbomah was the first CO of the Nigerian army? If yes, that's good.
I understand your plight. Anyone but an Igbo man is accepted in that position by you. I get it but history has no feelings. It is what it is.
Anyone who knows history very will know that people from Nigeria have joined the British Army even before the name Nigeria was formed. Hausa soldiers made up part of the British that was involved in the 1897 Benin punitive expedition. Some of them took part in the WW1 army of the British Empire. Most of such men were disbanded after a mission when it's clear they're not needed.
The name RWAFF was a latter name different from the initial name called the West African Field Force. It was reorganized and renamed in the late 1920s. Some Yoruba soldiers fought in WW2 in East Africa.
The bone of contention here is indigenous commissioned Officers of a standard army. This is when Ugbomah and Bassey became pioneers.
I challenge you to provide names of any INDIGENUOS COMMISSIONED OFFICER from Nigeria before Ugbomah.

gidgiddy:
Nobody is arguing that he was senior, he was the first commissioned officer. What you should try and research is why those he was senior to like Ironsi, Ademulegun, Ogundipe, Shodeinde and Maimalari managed to be senior to him later on

He wasn't the first commissioned Officer in Nigeria. Fred Ugbomah actually was but he left after been commissioned and the number WA1 went to Wellington Umoh Bassey.

Christistruth02:
Don't you find it annoying how Wellington Duke Umoh bassey Of Calabar And his Army Career were almost destroyed to make way for his junior Officer Gen Ironsi to Emerge as the Head of Army

azikiwe was supposed to have been fighting for all of bassey's delayed Promotions since bassey was from Calabar in azikiwe's Eastern Region
To add insult to injury they tried to eliminate bassey during the Jan 1966 Coup

Ironsi Got to Power again only to make Ojukwu who was 11 years Basseys Junior Officer the Governor of the Eastern Region

But to be honest azikiwe complained to Ironsi about that one




Below are excerpts From Azikiwe's publication "Origins of the Cjvil War".

Just look at what azikiwe wrote in his book
" Origins of the Nigerian Civil War " on pages 1 and 2 admitting that Gen Ironsi had played the tribalism Card on Wellington bassey to make Ojukwu who was 11 years his Junior Officer the Governor of the Eastern Region

Even from the excerpts you posted, Colonel Wellington Umoh Bassey was already a two level junior in rank to Major General Aguiyi Ironsi in 1966. The real question to ask is why it was so.
Mind you, just as I squashed all your lies in a previous thread, I'll do even more in this one.

LegendHero:
Nope, not all candidates.

They should reorganize it only for people that score below 200 or better still make it a voluntary process where candidates willingly sign up to retake the exam.

This should apply to every part of Nigeria.

Ok. Sounds like a good option. However, someone has to take the bullet for this to prevent such a thing from repeating again.

Somebody has to pay the price for the glitch and the exam reorganized again for all candidates. That's fairness.

IPob sympathizer spotted.May the blood of the departed caused by this man action be on your head

The cries of all those innocent villagers and farmers murdered by fulani terrorists begin to rent your ears. If they sound so sweet, may you enjoy it. If not, may it torment your soul until you kick the bucket.

A contraption whose institutions are manipulated to give their disjointed decisions and is explained away with a 'glitch affected the process.' This is the evil contraption that some people still think is a country.
Ndigbo, Nigeria is not for you. How else do you want to be treated before you know this?

The most accepted thing to in rectifying this issue is firstly getting someone fired for the error. It is very important if there's sincerity in the search for solutions but I KNOW no one will be fired.
Next, the whole candidates should rewrite the exams. This way it remains a uniform exams. What is the guarantee that a tougher exams won't be presented to these 'affected' candidates from the SE? I DON'T TRUST ANYTHING FROM THE NIGERIAN SYSTEM FOR NDIGBO.

Ndigbo, Nigeria is certainly not for you. Join hands and seek for the freedom of our people from the evil contraption.

Ojiofor:
Story!

ESN don't attack soldiers. They only defend themselves against ANYONE if the need arises. Their work is well defined.

Isn't it this same Nigerian army that went on burning spree in Igboland? Burning markets and residential buildings of innocent villagers? Do they think we've forgotten so quickly? Wonders shall never end.
Tell the terrorist Nigerian army that we don't need them to clean gutters for us. We can do it ourselves. Let them go to Eha Amufu and chase away the terrorist fulani militias occupying farm settlements. We are far smarter than the yeye PR job they're doing.
No one will tell an Igbo man to join any association if that association is good and beneficial to the person and Igbo nation. Our worst enemy is Nigerian army even worse than fulani terrorists.

Stand up comedians were right after all. What an idiotic appearance.

grandsuccess:
What actually amaze me in all these middle-belt killings is the fact that 26% of our armed forces (comprising of police, army(navy, airfoece), civil defence, immigration, prison, customs and fire service) are Benue state indegenes, 20% are from Kaduna state - especially Kaduna South, another 20% are from plateau and taraba states. there is hardly any family in the middle-belt that doesn't have one or more uniformed personnel in their family!

THAT MEANS 66% OF OUR ARMED FORCES ARE FROM THE MIDDLE-BELT!

AND YET WITH ALL THE ARMS AVAILABLE TO THEM BY VIRTUE OF THEIR PROFESSION, THEY STILL ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE CANNON FODDERS AND SITTING DUCK FOR FULANI TERRORIST HEADSMEN!

Something is wrong somewhere.

A cannon fodder is at the beck and call of the cannon itself. A bullet goes mostly in the direction the gun is pointed at. A tool is an impliment for achieving an aim even when it might be damaged in the process. When the tool becomes willing itself to do the bidding of he wielding it, it can't even spare the one that forged it. This is the tale of the middlebelt people.

peterincredible:
that is a lie oo all those things are propaganda jeared to separate us I am also an anioma man born in the west I have met alot of Igbo people from the hinterland and they always see me as there brothers dont believe all those lies we are one Igbo bu ofu

The imbe you quoted is not an Igbo man. He deliberately wrote that thing to stoke division among us.

saphiere:
And there's no single woman in their midst? Sometimes I envision a world without these evil men

Before you persist in your misdirection, here are few facts to consider.
1. A man was here on earth before any woman was ever made. He was living a righteous life and was a friend of God.
2. Sin came in through the disobedience and vulnerability of a woman. The fall of mankind may not have happened if a woman wasn't so naive.

The point is that both genders are important with their specific roles however this world can't function with women alone. However, it can function with men alone but it will be boring overtime. Learn to respect men because you need us to be on this earth. We don't need you to be on this earth. Your need only arises to cushion our lives on earth. This is the truth.

Jonathan did increase the Youth Corps Allowance from N9,775 to N19,800 in 2011. Which other allawee are you talking about?
You can hate him without lying against him. I hope you're enjoying Buhari and now Tinubu.

Tinubu has eroded purchasing power of people. How many households can afford N6k for 1 crate of eggs. Malnutrition is looming, Nlfpmod, but their preoccupation is 2027, only God is sure of. If anybody say Ifeanyi Uba will not be in Anambra yesterday, this time last year. Irony is people that are hungry are defending their oppressors.

What's the average IQ of a Nigerian again? People with low IQ makes terrible decisions and end up crying afterwards. Nigeria is a perfect example. Suffering, dying and still smiling isn't wisdom. It is foolishness.
Finally, Somalia has now become better than Nigeria.

You hope?

Hope isn't a strategy.

Nobody is 'dealing' with anybody. That should be clear to you by now.

Instead of holding the man accountable for failing to secure the lives of Nigerians - you say he can't do much because of elections. That excuse is unacceptable!

They always have a reason to lose to fulanis. If not cowardice, what else do we call it?
One said the army is spread thin that's why they can't fight the fulanis. Just imagine...
The same army is packed full in the SE where they're not needed but other provinces are left exposed for fulani terrorists to easily operate.
