The cracks in the foundation of Nigeria started to appear almost as soon the British granted Nigeria independence in 1960. Operation Wetie(1962), marshal declared in the Western Region (1963), the census crises of 1963, the disastrous elections of 1964 and the all round violence of 1965. 1966 was worse, there was a coup, counter-coup, hundreds of officers were killed and a pogrom led to thousands of people being murdered, mainly Igbos

But far much worse was to come the following year in 1967 as Nigeria would descend into a civil war that would clam millions of lives.

Six events would occured in 1967 that led to war

1. January 4th 1967: - The Military Head Of State Of Ghana, General Joe Ankrah, hosts Gowon and Ojukwu at his Hill top Mansion in Aburi, Ghana, to find peace. Gowon and Ojukwu reach a 12 point agreement that effectively turns Nigeria into a confederation of 4 Regions. The agreement came to be known as the "Aburi Accord" . Item Seven of the accord said - "The four Regional structure of Nigeria is not to be changed during the period of military rule without the concurrence of all four military Governors of the four Regions"

2. May 26th 1967: - Gowon breaks the Aburi Accord by promulgating Decree 14 which abolished all 4 Regions, replaced them with 12 brand new states and ended resource control, without concurrence of any military Governor

3. May 27th 1967:- Finding this unacceptable,
Ojukwu summons the Eastern Nigeria Consultative Forum, a body comprising all the heads of provinces and Chiefs of the Eastern Region. Ojukwu asks them to advice him on the way foward following Gowon's Decree 14

4. May 29th 1967 :- After debating for two days and voting on the issue, the forum advices Ojukwu, via a public communique, that since Gowon chose to violate the Aburi Accord, Ojukwu should declare the Eastern Region a separate country at the "earliest practical date". The head of the Yenagoa province, an Ijaw man called Frank Opigo, suggests the name "Biafra" as the name of the new country

5. 30th May 1967 : - Ojukwu declares the Eastern Region a new country to be known as the "Republic Of Biafra". Wild joy envelops the Eastern Region, Ojukwu is sworn in as the new  country's President


6. 6th June 1967 :- Gowon declares "Police Action" against the breakaway Eastern Region, now known as Biafra.

On 5th July 1967, the Nigerian Army fires shells at Gakem, a Biafran border town in present day cross River State. Biafran troops there dig in and return fire. The war begins

When Igbo people make up posts
about what led to the civil war, they
always, avoid the details of the January 1966
Igbo coup.


They fail to mention that the real cause
of the war happened on that January
morning, when Igbo soldiers of Eastern and
Midwestern extraction went about a
well planned action of killing all the
political and military leaders of northern
extraction in one single night. Yoruba
political and military officers were also not spared.


They did this without touching a single
Igbo politician or military leader.


⏩Ahmadu Bello North Premier (N200 note)
⏩Tafawa Balewa Prime Minister(N5 note)
⏩Akintola Western Region Premier
⏩Brig Maimalari (Top ranking North military man)

And dozens of other Northerners were
killed by Igbo soldiers and Igbo expect
that the north will just keep quiet.



If the 1966 coup didn't happen, no
Civil war would have occurred.


Without provocation,You go to a
neighboring village and kill all their
Chiefs and they later come on a revenge
mission and kill all your men and children
and you you are now complaining to
the whole world that your children and
men were killed without mentioning that it
was your own people who started the conflict.

Before you type ,,THINK AND READ before making a compound foool of ya sef.

I ask you this question:

If the Coup caused the BIAFRAN WAR....why did Subsequent Coups NOT result to WARS??
3 coups took place after the BIAFRAN war ended, why wasnt there a WAR?? Because it was mostly regional.

I repeat...before you Type...READ and dont expose YA foolishness.

Thinkfree:
[img][/img]because it was mostly regional and was not as brutal as the one sponsored and executed by the BIAFRANs against north

Pipefitter:
Gowon didn't keep to his part of agreement

Only an IPOBIAN, specifically from
Anambra state can reason the way you
reason.

Trying to make a person of low education
or intellectual capacity understand
something is an attempt in futility. It's
just like sitting your two year old child
down and trying to explain to him that
Peter Obi is a congenital, liar whose
disease is warehoused in his medulla
oblongata ..☹️☹️☹️

Ijaw is not biafra

I will not forgive you, as you are uselessly foolish...spits

adecz:
I appreciate that i am very foolish and extremely senile. I also appreciate that BIAFRA will expose how, useless me and my , useless grandfathers have made Nigeria a shyt-hole. I know that if BIAFRA comes , i will die a miserable death, because heartaches and hunger will kee me. I wish , this will make you forgive me. @esnbrutality, please forgive me, as most of my thought are based on my foolish upbringing.

Superwave16320:
Did the cursed igbos the slaughtered the prime minister, premier of west n north region keep to the agreement n allegiance to swore an oath to ? If they did not why should other keep to agreement with you as well or you fools think your cursed miserable wretched souls can pick date that suit your foolishness to demand equity n justice.

Who will pay for the killing of Tafawa Balewa the prime minister of Nigeria, the premier of Northern n Western region before we start chasing shadows or the Aburi according is more important to the constitution all Nigeria sworn to adhere.
