I see you like him, joe

RussellRutherfo:


War would have still happened even without the coup. The Islamic jihadist, Sarduana of Sokoto was already pushing the country towards that lane with his open hatred of the Igbos before that coup.

I am of the opinion that the coup kept this nation together because Sarduana of Sokoto probably had in mind to divide the North away from Nigeria.

He every inch was a Hitler in the making.
The only thing is the coup plotters who handled the Lagos part didn't do their side of the job effectively.

Idiko1:


I could be older than your father who is stupid. There are migrants in Agbor, and I do not have issue if they claim not be Igbo.

Kewtt:


That town should be razed to ashes. It truncated the Nigeria of our dreams. The statue makes everyone there an accomplice. An evidence of why we must not vote anything from that region ever

wirinet:


You are just behaving like a pre-recorded audio that's meant to play a certain sound bite no matter the fact. You mind is already made up on your narrative without even bothering to present any evidence.

I asked for a signed copy of the agreement you don't even bother discussing it.

I told you that the Aburi meeting was a power sharing agreement purely military officers to prevent the impending war, you pretend you did not see it.

I presented the fact that civilians from the other Regions rejected the accord, you become oblivious.

Not only did civilians reject the aburi accord, some senior military officers who were bypassed in the power sharing appointments like T.Y. Danjuma and Murtala Muhammed rejected the accord.

See more of what really transpired below. I hope your mind can grasp new information.

ShaqFu:
I should dislike him?

rainluv:


why did the rest of Nigeria tag Nzeogwu Igbo?

Tofax:

When the narrative is good, its Niger delta not Igbo speaking area, but if its a negative news the narrative will read as 'Igbo town in delta state.'
If oil is found in Igbo speaking area its becomes Niger Delta area, if its a coup its becomes Igbo speaking area of Delta state

gidgiddy:


Ok lets forget if the Aburi accord was signed or not, we can agree that all 4 military Governors of the time, with Gowon, reached an agreement at Aburi. Ghana

Who are civilians in military rule? Civilians have little or no say in military Government, it is not democracy. So it doesn't matter which civilian was not happy with what was agreed at Aburi.


Lets call a spade a spade. Gowon could not implement what was agreed in Aburi because it prevented him and his fellow Northern cohorts from getting that which they wanted the most, political control of Nigeria

So Gowon quickly abolished the 4 Regions, created 12 states, half of which was given to the North, then dismantled resource control to make the federal government all powerful

Of course, Ojukwu and the East were not going to have that blatant attempt at domination, and seceded, which led to war

DriveByKiller:
no, not at all.

But some people feel that he's the first coup plotter and set a dangerous precedent

omoadeleye:
At least no one is denying the fact that one particular people started the first coup.

Fejoku:

In conclusion, Yakubu Gowon and Prince Akenzua had their way by bye passing previously signed agreement at Aburi. Today's Nigeria is the legacy of their own decision.

Two questions for you. Do you still agree to the structure suggested by Prince Akenzua as at the time even without the benefit of foresight?
Do you think that there's a need for restructure or outright dissolution of Nigeria? Give your reasons.

Pakute:

May your lies eat up your mouth dia. Where is the copy of the agreement with the signatories?. Why are you spreading unprovable narratives that was only cooked up in your igbotic head. At least, you should know that it was Philip Asiodu, an ibo man that played a key role in dissuading Gowon from signing the Accord.

MyFlair:

Fatherless wretch get lost

igbosarejews:

Hey you bástárd, Delta State was never part of south east or the defunct Eastern region. It was mid west region ànd later Bendel state.
When it suits your idîotic submission, they turn to south east, but when oil is involved, same you will your shît tóngue will call them south south

codemaniacs:


Today's Nigeria is the legacy of Nzeogwu and Aguiyi Ironsi..

Akenzua didn't want the resources in his ethnic nation to be used by another ethnic nation that had majority power over his own nation....

gidgiddy:


It does not matter if Delta State used to be part of China, what matters is if there are indigenous ethnic Igbos there

The Premier of the old Midwest Region, Dennis Nwanzu Osadebay, was once secretary general of the Igbo State Union, the group that later became known Ohanaeze. Osadebay was an Asaba man and Asaba people have never denied being Igbo just like the 95 year old King of Asaba, Obi Chike Edozien, professed to be a proud Igbo man below

Injera:

And what evidence do you have for a man that don't know about your existence

Curious345:
Quite important to note that ,uptil today , Igbos in Delta State claim they're not Igbo ..

Isn't that funny?

Same way ikwerre claim they're not Igbo

Curious345:
Coup d'etat is a very delicate venture ,that if not managed professionally can lead to great disorder.

It was the first coup , bcuz prior to it ,coups weren't popular in africa .
They had no book to gain experience from.
They acted on a mix of impulse + patriotism.

Shedding of blood can never be justified.

BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESTRICTED TO THE LEADERS ,Military,TRADITIONAL RULERS AND THEIR ASSOCIATES. Killing of civilians by the jihadist and their sympathisers is unforgivable

Idiko1:


You are totally wrong. It is safe to say today's Nigeria is the legacy of Gowon and his clique of goons. Akenzua supported Action Group when products from Edo were used support Yoruba land under western region.

OkutaNla:


Yes, a revolution that culminated in the mass slaughter of millions of Igbos in a needless war.



Akuko. Why do you Igbos love self-deceit for goodness sake If Nzeogwu coup had not happened, there would have been no counter coup which was in response to the Nzeogwu coup and targeted majorly at Igbo officers, Aguiyi Ironsi, and Igbo civilians all across Nigeria by officers of Northern extraction. Only a disingenuous person would say what you just said coz it's obvious to the blind that the counter coup was the major precursor to the Civil war due to its macabre slaughter of Igbos in Northern Nigeria as a direct reprisal against the sectional killing of Northern leaders by Nzeogwu and his boys. There would've been nothing like Aburi accord without those preceding events. Endeavor to tell yourself the truth once in a while.

gidgiddy:


But the same Akenzua shit his mouth when Gowon was abolishing the 4 Regions Nigeria had, created 12 new states and stripped them of resource control

You're the one that's wrong.. Legacy of I[b]ronsi and Nzeogwu.[/b]
