AfonjaScud: Please do me a favor and show me ironsi's cabinet and the tribes of those in strategic positions. The same Ironsi held a promotion exercise in the army and promoted so many Northerners to placate them on the Jan coup, he didn't even promote igbos or southerners. i dare any of you show me Ironsi's cabinet and the tribes of those in strategic positions. Mind you his Chief of Army staff was Lt Col Gowon a Northerner, His Navy staff was Admiral Wey A yoruba man, his air staff was Lt Col George Kurubo a non-igbo easterner. Please do me that favor of showing me Ironsi's cabinet and list the strategic positions the igbos occupied. there's another plot in the gist if you read the latest book on Ironsi, the person who suggested the unitary decree to Ironsi was a senior civil servant from the middle belt Chief Simon Adebo |

DMerciful: Why create the obnoxious policy in the first place? Your line of argument is like saying we cannot blame Tinubu for Subsidy Removal and say why can't the subsequent leaders reverse the subsidy removal decision. Why did he put up the policy in the first place? A young country, just 6 years old. Coming from a bloody coup and you bring out such policies which later back fired and still backfiring. He was a daft leader. His just was to keep the peace and give a date for new elections. Instead he was trying to keep himself in power. What of the Ben Nwabueze drafted Unitary Constitution? To bring all powers to him at the center. And the norther elite saw it and another counter coup was planned to boot him out of office. The Eastern region is just clamouring for Biafra, it's not the plan of Igbo past leader, their plan was to lead Nigeria 🇳🇬 and make others followers but it was rejected and because other tribes only want equal representation, and they refused the subjugation plan by the Igbos, Igbos brought out Biafra card. Whatever obstacle the east is facing the political space in Nigeria was self created, its always shocking to see when they are claiming victims. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Irony1: What are the lies about Thomas Aguyi Ironsi using decrees 13 and 14 to form a unitary system of government and central resource control? It is greediness an average Ibo person is known for... Ibo people are coming out to distort the facts... This is the fact I read about and the elderly in my community confirm it with proof to show...you didn't accept the fact that Kaduna Nzogwu and his Ibo ally in the army staged a coup ....this was the genesis of our problem in Nigeria...

AfonjaScud: I agree with you that he does not have such power in democratic setting. If I may ask why did Gowon or IBB or Abacha or Obj do it during their military regime? |
Re: Throwback Photo Of Gen. Ironsi & IBB At An Occasion In 1966 by drnoel: 1:39pm On May 23 |
DMerciful: Yep you are right. But looking at it from another perspective. IBB was within the sphere of authority for ages, why it was easy for him to take power. Then he retired most of his seniors and mates to make sure no one senior enough to remove him. But he knew what we didn't know. He knew Ironsi well enough, why did they kill him? These questions need answers by those that were there. The atmosphere of the time, the ideology no one has ever portrayed it well in any books so far. They shouldn't let those information die with them. |

So educative and well explained even though I know this story very well. Ironsi becoming the President was the beginning of Nigeria nightmare. He was a good soldier but not a sensible leader. He was manipulated by politician from the Eastern part of the country so that they can enslave every other regions. They started the progrom, the blood shed by killing all the leaders of the northern extraction even the President and the northern premier. Despite the fact that officers from your tribe killed the northern Leaders. You still have the comfort of taking the place of a president and revoking by decree, the usual and regional way of government whereby we all work and hustle for our regions but made it central by fiat or decree cos you believe that you will always be in power. It's a blonder created and manufactured by the South Easterners but funnily, it's bitting them now badly. Anyway, just history. Life goes on but the present generation should learn not to be greedy and domineering. Stop being toxic and selfish. Wish they could change for the better. Creamypie: 5 Likes |

If I may ask for over 50 years now the country has been ruled by "not an average Igbo man" and at the national level those ruling are the ones stealing this country dry out of greed or according to you since they are not Igbos they are probably stealing Nigeria dry out of love or saving the money for us just like Abacha did? ![]() ![]() |

Re: Throwback Photo Of Gen. Ironsi & IBB At An Occasion In 1966 by dettolgel: 1:51pm On May 23 |
wallrichy: Please it was a military decree and Gowon was a military leader why didn't he repeal it? What about Buhari, ObJ, Abacha and IBB? They were all military leaders and never repealed it. Ironsi never lived long to implement it. Take Kano for instance, the new governor just undid a law the previous one passed that they are not comfortable with. Secondly, in your statement you said the SEners are the one feeling the heat the most. If I may ask can you look at all the indices of well-being starting from independence till date and see how each region has evolved over the years ![]() If you are referring to someone from SE not being a president, then that is useless given that Buhari has been president twice and his state Katsina has not experienced any sustainable development, likewise every other presidents. Unless you are saying that the corrupt and thieving politicians from the East are unable to get their hands on the loots like their counterpart from other region, that I can agree with you on? ![]() 1 Like |

You're looking at the East complaining about the system, you're complaining too but prefer to do nothing to spite the East. After the second world war, Germany was divided into East Germany and West Germany by the allied forces. When the USSR collapsed in 1991, the re-united back to how they were in 1945. This shows you they had no intention of changing their structure. When Ironsi was killed after just 45 days of creating a decree, Nigerians did not remove his decree because they love it but complaining 58yrs later. When Ironsi was killed, it was still 4 regions, how he is the one that destroyed the region is the biggest Yoruba lies of the millennium. Ask them to restructure today, they'll say they can't because Ironsi said nobody should restructure Idaytesj29: |

Jagaban2012: Again you said igbo allies so the following Yorubas are now igbos Major Ademoyega, Capt Adeleke and Lt Fola Oyewole. Again you don't know how you guys are setting yourselves up to be arrested for ethnic baiting. This post of yours is ethnic baiting, i recall i was in a security meeting with DSS officials and they stated that they have field offices in every LGA. it is easy for me to screenshot this post of yours and send to them to have you under watch. To get your details is so easy, again back to your statement on the genesis of Nigeria. the coup was not the genesis, the real problem was already brewing, in fact the Western Region crisis was the genesis if not for it there will be no coup. |

Kukutente23: Ironsi and Ojukwu were part of the Coup that was why Azikiwe was warned to escape but the Coup plotters insisted on waiting for Sardauna to return from Saudi Arabia 2 days earlier before Carrying out the Coup https://dailytrust.com/amp/british-intelligence-reports-on-how-ironsi-took-over-3 Ojukwu arrested and took a man off the London bound Aeroplane at Kano because he thought he was Prime Minister Balewa's Brother Azikiwe sent a Telegram to Gen Ironsi from London on the 16th of January addressing Ironsi as the Head of State Ironsi didn't take over Power until the following day That meant Azikiwe already knew of the Plan by Ironsi to take Power before it happened It was the British Commonwealth Office from where Miss Emery who was Azikiwe's Secretary had sent the Telegram that informed Azikiwe that Dipcherma the Northern Minister of Transport was acting in Balewa's Place as Head of the Rump Cabinet and not Gen Ironsi and that it would be a good idea to resend the Telegram to Dipcherma instead Below is the Video of Azikiwe on the day he left for his Medical Vacation in October 1965 he was well enough to inspect a guard of honour and take the Salute So why didn't he attended the Commonwealth leaders Conference which held in Lagos 2 days before the Jan 15th 1966 Coup ? Azikiwe definitely knew what was coming and he knew it was going to be very bloody https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmCb3EtjsDE 3 Likes |
