That mode of thinking is a recipe for disaster. Civilized societies welcome and entertain variety of opinion. Pre-colonial Igboland was one such society, as Achebe's books clearly illustrated.



Two points:

1) Assuming there was a ''heat of the moment'', in which everyone was losing their heads (there wasn't), the Igbos deserved a clear, level-headed, thoughtful leadership at the helm to guide the peoples' actions. Instead, it seems, we got a mob enforcer.

2)There was no ''heat of the moment'' relating to the secession declaration. The declaration of secession occurred 8 months after the Sept 1966 massacre in the north, for which it was alleged to be a response.



Be honest. The coup was led by predominantly Igbo officers with Nzeogwu at the helm. Even pro-Biafran scholars do not dispute this fact. The outcry in the north was that these officers had killed leading northern and western politicians in a supposedly national coup while sparing all the Igbo leaders, many of whom those northerners also regarded as corrupt and decadent. The Igbo-led Ironsi military regime which had taken office failed to bring the perpetrators to justice for 7 months into its administration, despite repeated demands from around the country. (It was afterall a criminal offence to slaughter the prime minister, northern and western premiers in cold blood). Obviously some northern elite took advantage of this popular outrage at the Sardauna and Balewa's death and govt inaction, and used same to unleash mayhem against the Igbos living in the region.



My brother, let's call a spade a spade. The Igbo leadership screwed up. You would not be yarning all this stuff had Igbos won that war. Who would remember what Awo said or didn't say if Igbos had won the war? You see, your musings are the musings of a defeated man. A defeated person. You need to step out of that cage, and reclaim your power back from Awo and the FG. You've given them the power over Igbo lives and destiny which they do not deserve. We gain more dignity by questioning our internal mechanisms and how they might have served us better.





In one of your idiotic posts, you foolishly requested intelligent response to your posts. Do you think any reasonable fellow will respond intelligently to your series of moronic posts?

If you remotely think that Nigerian armed forces with, at least, 60% of Igbo in its officer’s cadre will stage an Igbo-led coup and Igbo officers will not dominate number of participants, then you are bigger fool than I thought.

Again, let me remind you that Ironsi might have been the Head of State however the policies and decisions of the Nigeria government flowed from the Military Executive Council. It is unfortunate you have flaunted your acute state of ignorance on a subject matter you knew little or nothing.

Ironsi inaugurated a tribunal to investigate the January 15, 1966 coup in Nigeria. The tribunal was to report its findings to the Military Executive Council for further recommendations. I hope it will add to your little knowledge to understand that three-man-tribunal that consisted Yakubu Gowon , Bala Usaman and MD Yusuf sat on the investigation. The only thing the tribunal accomplished was the to delete the names of Atom Kpera and Gibson Jallo as well as diminish names of Yoruba and Ijo officers as participants to further paint the coup as Igbo.

Please remember that Ironsi did not run a one-man show when he was the Head of State of Nigeria.

Every group has a right to self determination. You can begin writing your book, but in the process
it will dawn on you that Biafra was no mistake,
That Gowon committed unspeakable war crimes (where is Brig Adekunle?)
That you should not force people you hate to co-habit with you,
That this anti-Igbo crap is debilitating, and will keep nigeria down till 2015,
That the niger delta ppl (where is saro-wiwa?) Are regretting their role in that war,
That many of the questions raised at the Aburi accord are still haunting us today,
That God helps those who help themselves

Stop spreading lies. You initially claimed that Ndigbo constituted 87% of Officer Corps in 1966. Now it is 60%. When are you going to provide a comprehensive of all officers so that we can verify that 'bogus lie'?

I remembered obliging you by posting the names of Igbo officers from the rank of Maj General to Captain in Nigerian armed forces as of January 15, 1966. I have waited patiently for more than a year expecting you do append names to this conjectural crap.

I guess you remembered I purposely omitted the name of your favorite Igbo army officer, Lt J O Osuma, from the list.

lol

Let me explain percentages to you, just in case you missed it in class.

If you claimed that Ndigbo contributed 87% of officers, then you should provide a list that shows all officers and then we can identify 87%. Providing a list of Igbo officers does not prove 87% or 60% or even 20%. To get a percentage, you need a numerator (Igbo officers) and a denominator (total number of officers).

I provided a total number of officers which indicated that Igbo did not constitute 87% or 60% but 33%. And I cited two British authors Miners and Luckham while you cited your brain.

Gowon jettisoned this. Awo said that. WHEN WILL FOLKS LIKE YOU TAKE THE IGBO LEADERSHIP TO TASK ON THEIR FAILED CAMPAIGN? DON'T YOU HAVE A BRAIN? 2 million of the people you claim to love were slaughtered in what was essentially a battle of wills among rival ethnicities. YOUR GROUP LOST. Instead of you to return to YOUR drawing board to see what YOU could have done differently to achieve a better outcome, you sit around, like some lazy, stup.id bum looking for which outsider to ''blame'' for your calamity.

Why haven't you blamed and insulted the British? They afterall built and supplied the weapons used to kill Igbos. Whatever you say Awo or Gowon did, the British did a million times more of. THEY even created this very Nigeria itself without your consent, locking you into the union. Prior to that, THEY'D attacked and looted your towns and villages, and enslaved your people, during slavery and colonial invasions. The blood of untold millions of your kinsmen from the 1600s till date lie at the doorstep of 10 Downing St, London. They, the British should be your primary target. The number one object of your hatred and opprobrium.

But I'm sure you're all smiles when you meet them. You will even wash their pants for free if they let you. You're only expert at attacking and hating your own for the most minor infraction. Dumb, ignorant, stup.id slaves to western manipulation - you and all who think like you.
