PointB:

Dude, is Yoruba not part of the south? Or is what Sanusi wrote not concerning the way Yoruba relates with other groups in Nigeria, including but not limited to other southern group?

What is not ethnic relations in what Sanusi wrote? Or is a case of some so called 'truth' being more bitter that others?

I am not configured for defensive duties dude, I play high balls!

It shows you're not a good student, and I doubt you're educated..

A good student will do a critical review of the article, and argue against the points raised by the guy who wrote the article...

Posting an irrelevant article from a stupid Mallam, whose point of view is more political than factual - with no correlation with title is just stupid.

740megawatts: Why do some people like derailing threads on NL? It is evident that this write-up has been conclusively summarised in the last two paragraphs.

TRUE OR FALSE?

TRUE OR FALSE?

If your answer is true, then it follows the heart of this write-up. However, if you think it is false, please back it up with facts and figures of the period mentioned, not with an over-flogged write-up of Mallam Sanusi which is not representative of the 1957 and 1966 era as presented above. Shikena!!!

If you deemed the 1957 crap included in the skewed essay as remotely truth, then you are truly a Nigerian. In 1957 constitutional conference for Nigeria’s independence, the northern region never threatened secession but indicated it was not ready for full regional autonomy talk less of signing off on independence for entire Nigeria. Even though Lennox Boyed seemed more to agree with northern region, both western and eastern delegates threatened to walk out of the conference. When the next conference was scheduled towards the end of 1957, Zik indicated his absence to the meeting and it was postponed to 1958.

Of course, the planning of January 15, 1966 was not exclusively executed by young Igbo amry officers as the hack writer would want us to believe. I guess Major Ademoyega was Igbo too.

You are not only an "agbaya" but also an olodo to boot. Despite all your turenchi, you still failed to answer a simple True or False question.Bottomline is, Zik and his NCNC party formed a union with the sardunna's party (NPC) as a junior partner inspite of the open hatred the latter display towards southerners especially ibos. That is a fact which even you with all your proclivity for revisionism can't rewrite.

As for Ademoyega, yes he was not ibo but can you tell us when he was recruited and what operational task was he given? Afterall, he was a Major

too, like the rest of the main coupists.

@ PointB, can you post here what SLS has to say about your people?.

^^^Thanks bruh. This Ijaw man that thinks Igbos are (or ever were) the problem with Nigeria may want to get a second opinion from Adaka Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa.

Our problem has been mainly the greedy, lazy, morally bankrupt, visionless and thieving core northern elite championed by a few lost and gullible souls from the middle belt and south.

About Igbo 'relationship' with Yorubas, of this i ask: what relationship ?

I remember when Saro-Wiwa and other Ogoni leaders were killed by Abacha, most elderly people in the SE were like ,"What goes around comes around". I never understood until I found out Saro-Wiwa's involvement in the Abandoned Property poo after the civil war.

Until Southern tribes negotiate their co-existence, they will keep selling each other out and whining about their evident foolishness and lack of political sagacity.

If you are not agbaya kobo kobo, you are definitely an olodo from Ota. I guess you and the moronic hack writer thought 1957 was 1959 after the federal election that decided the strength of each political party in what shall become Nigeria.

As for Ademoyega, he was even dangled as one of the “Five Majors”, a title to one of the books that gave explicit account of the events that took place in 1966.

T9ksy, in my opinion, is basically consumed by hatred for the Igbos:

1) As long as the confused entity called Nigeria keeps treating Igbos unfairly, he is in silent support of the confusion.

2) As long as the prospect of a divided Nigeria holds the potential of liberating an industrialized country called Biafra, T9ksy will rather die than see Nigeria divided.

How can such a mindset produce any productive and progressive thought?

Haba dendirin, why do you find it so difficult to answer a simple question?

I repeat, did Zik not formed a union with the NPC, as a junior partner? YES or NO?

WHEN was Ademoyega recruited into the coup plan and WHAT task was he given?

Didn't ask you about any book or the title thereof.

There is nothing to negotiate among southern Nigeria’s ethnic groups. It must be to your tents all ethnic groups. Ndigbo must be ready to fight for Igbo land and must engage in more aggressive measures in the face of Nigeria disintegration.

Olodo ni Dendirin, NCNC and NPC formed a coalition government as equal partners. Other than the post of Prime Minister, NCNC had more ministers with portfolio than NPC. There was nothing such as junior or senior partnership in the coalition government erected by NCNC and NPC.
You have made me believed you have issues with factual facts. By the way, I urge you to read more about the tangibles during coalition government between NCNC and NPC than lazing around and loud mouthing.

Dede, if this is true, then it would mean that the level of corruption which formed the basis for the Igbo coup plot and assassinations was present in the formations which constituted the power coalition/partnership in close ratio numbers; and hence the grievance and unleash of guns and bullets should equally have claimed those it did, in addition to Igbos. So why were there no Igbo casualty if indeed Igbo enjoyed equitable partnership in government and corruption?

Equal partner ke? Like i said last time i crossed path with you, you are a shameless pathological liar![/b]You just can't help yourself!!

Which one is equal partner? NPC had the most vote from the 3 major parties and could therefore form a govt with either AG or the NCNC so where do you get

this "equal partner" BS from? And we all know that Awo will never have formed a union with the sardunna as they both were poles apart, ideologically.Never mind

as a junior partner.

I noticed that you conveniently avoided answering the question about Ademoyega. Is it because you don't know or because you can smell the hole you are digging

for yourself is getting deeper? I know very soon you will scurry back into your sad delusional and misplaced hate-filled dungeon you have unconsciously dug for

yourself as a consequence of the battering you lot got in the last civil war.

[b]Once again, i ask you when was Ademoyega recruited and what part did he play in the coup?

One of the redundant problems you seemed to embrace is to paint the issue of January 15, 1966 episode in tribal colors. I shall not attempt to hold brief for the January 15, 1966 army boys but will try to proffer educated reasons. Unlike your wild assumption on the ratio of ministers in NCNC and ethnicity, more Yoruba would have been killed than Igbo because of the number of Yoruba ministers under NCNC and NPC/NNDP agreement. 1966 NCNC was not all about Igbo.

However, I honestly think the coup plotters targeted ministries and individuals they thought precipitated much nepotism, financial improprieties and fanned ember of tribalism in Nigeria.

Typical Igbo person, never accept responsibility for their leaders inaction, triators of the south and double mouthed. Always blaming others

@ PointB thanks for the article of Sanusi. This has not done justice to this thread.

I for one would speak as a yoruba man in this case and I can categorically tell you that Yorubas don't even dislike or have anything against Igbos. All that have befallen Igbo nation today even to discrimination in places like Cameroon, Balysea, Jos, Benin republic, Rivers etc is all due to your tribalistic and hateful nature towards the Yorubas which has backfired. Sorry to say but that is the truth.

Until likes of you calm down and tell yourselves the undiluted truth then you would receive this peace with others.

Anyway continue with your idiocy, anytime you are being hated be rest assured that Lagos, Ibandan, Benin city, warri and Akure are there for you to migrate to. Thanks

It's just when you people stick your noses into our business or do some coward stff to us then thats when we jump at you. It is not the same for yoruba. Even here in the diaspora, you people can not live without letting Igbo come out of your mouths. It's pathetic really because you all do it,lol. The average Igbo family don't every worry about you all that's why it amazes me how yoruba families ALWAYS got something to say about Ndi Igbo.
