pazienza:

No one is here to convince you, we are just here to provide rebuttal to your lies, you are free to keep your pre conceived opinions. The era where Ndigbo never cared about your lies that your parents wrote as articles and which you are quoting as gospel and 'sources' here is gone. Every atom of your lies must be stripped naked and exposed as lies, femi kayode learnt this the bitter way recently, the days of 'i don't care attitude' of Igbos are gone.

It is you that your fathers have been lying to, while the whole world and even heavens can see the obvious. Your attempt to refute the obvious fact is lame, sickening and devoid of logic. Even Achebe tried to distort history but he forgot that facts will always best fallacy any day, any time. You can care for crying out loud, no one gives a hoot whether you care or not; but, stop your victim card you are always playing, man up and be courageous enough to own up to your actions and its attendant repercussions. Instead of trying to pull wool over our face in form of abracadabra. Mba!! It has not worked, it won't work and it will never work.

Also stop being your ever greedy, power driven and covetous self.

Build strategic alliances in form of mutually beneficial relationships and respect others.

Thinking you are smarter and wiser than others will always be your bane.

You see, there are a thousand and one ways/direction things could have gone with changes in one of the variable/action or the other/reactions...

I am sure you know what is dubbed "in the heat of the moment"... and how, in judicial law/courts, one's action in this "heat of the moment" is looked at and judged differently from actions otherwise - which are NOT in the heat of the moment... i.e. they had no preconceived plan of action.

Keeping that aside, hindsight, they say, is 20/20, we now know what Ironsi did, and what the result of his actions were... so while "watching" this "video" of what did... it is easy... very very easy to judge him and say "He shouldn't have done this/that"...... even more crafty in my opinion, is what Kats has been doing on this forum and this thread, going from the resultant action and cherry-picking those actions of Ironsi that leads him straight to the result of what befell him and others.... (yet, without hindsight.. Kats himself might have done the same things.... )


quote author=nuclearboy]

Was Ojukwu or the Igbo "neutral"? because based on your judgment above, NOBODY should be believed!

I have learnt a great deal more from this thread though I read the Aburi accord, The 5 majors and Why we struck about 30 years ago!

The question that has come to mind over and over is "what if Ironsi didn't take over? In effect, what if Diphcharima had been sworn in thus allowing the coup plotters to have been sanctioned? Would that NOT have saved the Igbo race who ended up with such tragedy, from the fallout of wrong doing by a few people?

Seems to me the desire to save a few of his "boys" cost Ironsi, not just his life, but also the lives of millions in a senseless war!

NOT leadership or statemanship qualities![/quote]

My dear brother, I have stopped asking them that question, their usual response is (what Kats said to Naijaking on this thread, being) emotional, or more like "emotional BS"...

There was once a thread I believe it was Onlytruth that made a comment along the lines of Igbos having checks and balances that guide their behavior..... and our brothers on the other side of the Niger didn't understand what he meant and were taking it out of context etc...

When you think you've seen the lowest one can go.... you get proved wrong by something worse.... and if you express your shock or disbelief and passionate disapproval... before you know it they've dribbled you (if you try to follow their reasoning) back to your own business/behavior and never respond to the main issue raised...
(again, read Naijakings direct question at Kats and see if you can place a finger on what exactly his response was.... )

so that is why I now just let them be, and as I've said, focus on setting the records straight and pointing out any lies being mixed up with facts that have been coated to lead on gullible minds...

Also, I know that such people in real life... are usually a shadow of what they come on NL to do gra gra ...

Ngwakwe: Why do you and most of your colleagues prefer using language of violence or imagining violence in a bid to get even with the Igbos.

Are Igbos killing or threatening anybody from another tribe living among them? Definitely No, then why don't we use laws to settle our deferences instead of all these call for genocide and deprivation of property.

Why, why, why.

The problem with people like Jerry Useni is that while they will use every available occasion to tell the world how they struck and fought against Biafra and defeated Biafra , they never mention about anything about the burning issues in their homestead , the City of Jos has been invaded and wanton killings going on in Plateau, southern Kaduna, Benue, Nassarawa , Borno , Bauchi and these jokers keep moping aloof like ostriches while waiting for other people to strike back for them .
of All these loafers (Obasanjo, Danjuma, Gowon,Domkat Bali,Useni, Babangida)Useni seems to be the most stupid and useless of them , he was the most senior Military officer when Abacha died yet the Baton of power passed him and went to Abdulsalami and he could not do anything because of that only to come and brag how they killed Ironsi and took power from igbos . can someone call this Hypocrite to order.

Charity begins at home , save your plateau people first then you can come and brag how you defeated Biafran

This development gave unburnished confidence to Sultan Bello who declared on October 12, 1960, in an interview with The Parrot, just days after independence the following words: “This New Nation called Nigeria, should be an estate of our great grand father, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the North as willing tools, and the South, as conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over their future.”

With Alhaji Tafawa Balewa firmly in charge in Lagos, Sir Bello’s confidence became ebullient. To him Chief Obafemi Awolowo has been a thorn in his flesh politically, having mainatained an effective opposition to the feudalisation of Nigeria. Earlier in 1959, he had vowed to make Chief Awolowo pay dearly for forcing him to canvass for the votes of his Northern people. Awolowo had to be caged. Thus in the Daily Times of May 3, 1961, Sir Bello said the following:

“I’m set and fully armed, to conquer the Action Group, AG, in the same ruthless manner as my grandfather conquered Alkalawa, a town in Sokoto province, during the last century.” In May 1962, twelve months after this statement, the NPC Prime Minister of Nigeria, Tafawa Balewa, acting on instructions from Sultan Bello moved a motion to Declare A State of Emergency in Western Region. Below is an excerpt of Chief Awolowo’s contribution opposing the motion of Prime Minister Balewa on May 29, 1962:

“Not long ago after independence, there was rioting of a most severe nature in the Tiv Division of Northern Nigeria. Several lives were lost, several properties were destroyed, there was arson and a host of other crimes were committed. At that time, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was the Prime Minister as he is today. He did not think it fit to call this parliament to declare a state of public emergency in the Northern Region. Also in Okrika – there was widespread rioting in Okrika; again, several lives and properties were lost. I understand that this widespread rioting in Okrika occurred twice in the Eastern Region. The Prime Minister and the cabinet did not think it fit on that occasion to declare a state of public emergency in the Eastern Region.

“But, because the Action Group is pursuing the normal democratic processes as laid down in our constitution to oust someone who happens to be a very close friend of the Prime Minister, and also because the AG is looked upon as a moral foe to the NPC, this very far-reaching provision of our constitution is now being invoked, …..It is doing violence to our constitution and doing violence to the construction of words to suggest that what happened in the Western House of Assembly amounts to a state of public emergency.”

On July 16, 1962, exactly 46 days after Chief Awolowo moved this motion and fourteen months after Sir Bello made the statement of conquest of the AG, Chief Awolowo was arrested on the trumped up charges of Treasonable Felony. On November 2, 1962, Chief Awolowo and 28 other members of his party were put on trial. After a hearing lasting eleven months, he was sentenced (September 11, 1963) to ten years imprisonment. This effectively shut down the opposition to the unmaking of Nigerian Federalism which continued unabated.

Thus, why Awolowo was incarcerated, the Northern Peoples Congress led Federal Government embarked on headcount. This exercise was headed by a Briton as Federal Census Officer, Mr. J. J. Warren. The exercise was later cancelled because it was unacceptable. Daniel Agbowu in his book “NIGERIA: The Truth” quoted from M. Crowder’s book, “Story of Nigeria” published in 1966 noting that “The 1962 figures were first questioned in the first place not by politicians but by the civil servant in charge of the Census.”

The Census was re-conducted in 1963 but not without controversy. The figure released on February 24, 1964 is as follows:

North: 29,809,000

East: 12,394,000

West: 10,931,000

Midwest: 2,536,000

TOTAL: 55,670,000.

This was in contrast to the initial figure of over 60 million. Dr. Michael Okpara, Premier of Eastern Region described it as “worse than useless.” Chief Dennis Osadebey characterised it as the “stupendous joke of our age.” Chief S. L. Akintola, revelling in his supposed invulnerability having allied himself to the NPC, which mastermined the incarceration of Awolowo, gladly “accepted the census figures” and said “the figures were accurate.”

Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe, encumbered by his involvement in the Balewa government, could not effectively artculate the anger of his people as he pleaded that “all should remain calm” because the Census controversy “might plunge the nation into disaster.” Chief Awolowo was meanwhile effectively out of circulation. Sultan Bello had come out smoking as he threatened that “he and his party were ready for a complete showdown” and “warned all Nigerians” that his “Government has accepted the published figures.” Tafawa Balewa ignored all the protestations and went ahead to distribute the seats in the National Assembly as follows:

North 168 53.8%,

East 69 21 %,

West (Lagos included) 61 19.6%,

Midwest 14 4.5%.

The Eastern Region Soilicitor General, Mr. D. O. Ibekwe “took out a writ in the Supreme Court to restrain the Federal Government from using the 1963 Census figures for delineation of the country.” But the Supreme Court said it had no jurisdiction over the case, thus the unmaking of Nigerian Federalism continued.

Crisis followed that action of 1964 by Tafawa Balawa. In the West, the people took their destiny in their hands to confront the government of S. L. Akintola in an episode ingloriously referred to as “wet e.” The Tiv Riots, simmering since 1960 also came to a head in 1964 in what was called “nande nande” (burning burning) and “atem ityough” (head breaking). The whole country went up in flames which unfortunately, consumed the main actors, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sir Tafawa Balewa and Chief S. L. Akintola, as the Military ascended the political pedestal to continue the serial rigging of Nigeria’s Federalism.

As at the time the First Republic went up in flames in 1966, there were different constitutions for each region and Nigeria. Each region has its own High Commissioner in London. What does this mean? It meant that every region was in control of its destiny. Most historical analysts believed that General Aguiyi Ironsi who took over the reign of power from the uncoordinated plotters of the coup was the first leader who actually practicalised Unitarism of the Nigerian political space, at least officially.

Reasons for this should not be difficult to decipher given the chaos that ended the First Republic. But this particular act coupled with the fact that in the January 15, 1966 coup led by Murtala Mohammed that eventually saw the installation of Lt. Colonel Yakubu Gowon as the military Head of State.

You are truly far beneath a compound fool to think that u can allege something and expect me to prove it for you. Typical of your type to believe that if you throw your decrepit mouth wide open long enough a reasonable person will be convinced. No mr white-powder-up-his nose and arse!! Lol!

Your traders were lynched up north to put them out of the beans trade and nothing happen.

I hope your substandard yoruba brain can take this - I meant butt-licking not boot licking. Boot licking is for humans, butt licking is for yorubas like u and the diseased peasant that begs me for money every day when I walk fron the car park to the office on broad street.

Your stinking, crass and utterly filthy, duplicitous stock are scorned every day by other nigerians for their shady character and long grammar can't help u. Lol!!

Igbos have street cred EVERYWHERE in nigeria. North inclusive. Accept it if u can but if your nature gets the better of you look for rope and hang yourself.

Your response just clearly showed your case is beyond redemption. It is either you ran away from Aro or you are a strong candidate for it, just yet to be identified by the management of Aro.

I can't be joining issues with a deranged rabid dog that lack substance and cannot even do the simplest thing on the net. Again, search for the info, it will stare you in the face and get back to me.

Yorubas are being scorned. I laff in mandarin. And Ibos are loved from Kano to Ogoja, Maiduguri to Epe and Bida to Mubi. This ewu never cease to amuse me. The souls of the dead you have sent to the world beyond before their time through your fake drugs, robbery,kidnapping, money rituals, hard drugs and blood thirst for war and power can never make even a maggot to display the slightest affection for you.

He is going to work with his toothpick leg on. Yorubaland and he is not even ashamed. Your office should have been in Aba and let osisikankwu successor, or what his name, use your ransome for his breakfast meal. That is how worthless your head is.

You mentioned shady character and even your kinsmen will tell you, bros, you passed your boundary there. I won't respond on that out of respect for some of you. I would have used the whole day to lecture you, your forefathers and your generations yet unborn on your shady character. Next time check up the meaning of words before usage. Ode Oshi.

Filth -- lol. The simple question is, Onitsha and Aba are in Yorubaland? Answer that 1st before I unleash my scud missiles on that on you.

They were lynched up north and we took control of the business from them in retaliation. That is not giving false and endless ultimatum and beating of chest that does not amount to anything. Now the Hausas travel and bring the beans by themselves, therefore we have eliminated the risk of putting the lives of our kindred in danger. We value lives more than money-- sho gbo omo Y-ibo.
