So today now there is no place called Niger Delta because Nzogu is from Niger Delta?

I want all those people from Niger Delta to come out and agree with you now.

Hmm. It doesnt change anything for me. You are still that insultive abusive sweetplum to me.

But i hope not

I don't hate any tribe. I'm Nigerian first before my tribal affiliation. Can you say Pa Ayo Adebanjo or chief Bode George is igbo cos they're supporting Obi? No! . But there's nothing bad in what i aid cos not only the igbis participated in the coup. I read widely and I don't judge based on sentiment.

My only uncle from the maternal side died in the civil war. My grandma who was from ekiti was deceived till her death that her son was still alive. My mum and aunt would be contributing money and be sending it to my grandma that her son sent it to her. This alone should have caused me to hate igbos. If you read that book, you'd know the motive behind the civil war wasn't because igbos wanted to break away. It was even to benefit awolowo who was in the prison that time, to release him and kill others and make him lead Nigeria before that disagreement ensued. If the motive was for igbos to break away, someone like Ademola Ademoyega wouldn't have led the war. These guys were intelligent and educated guys who believed a sound and educated fellow should rule Nigeria.

There's a lot we didn't know about the civil war. I have both igbos and Northerer as my staff. I don't discriminate. Those igbos who call yoruba names need to check their brain cos they don't know what they're saying. If we don't shun ethnic and religous sentiments, we won't move forward as a country cos we need one another to succeed.

Oh, really?

Now why is Gideon Okar’s coup not Tiv coup?

Why is Buhari coup not Fulani coup?

Why is Babaginda coup not Hausa coup?

Why is Nzeogwu’s coup the only one with that ethnic tag?

Eriokanmi:
Have you ever read the book entitled Why We Truck by one of the coup plotters called Adewale Ademoyega? Was he also Igbo? He was one of those who led the Nigerian coup. He died in 2007. You guys just want to give them a bad name cos of Obi. Obi will govern Nigeria in the spirit of equity , justice and fairness. Before you hit me, I'm not igbo

Literally, you know that is nonsense up there. Everyone accounts for his or her own actions. You can't judge a whole ethnic group by the actions of few.

GeneralPula:

It was a pure Igbo coup and that’s why they didn’t kill the premier of eastern part..

A counter coup was hoisted as a revenge hence why Ironsi was killed..

tollyboy5:

That's what my good friend alawo uche use to tell me in secondary sch.

I don't judge others because of what happened in the past. But I've seen the disdain an average Igbo man has towards a Yoruba man.

I've worked in an Igbo environment were I was the only Yoruba. My Edo friend will always stop me from replying those bigot in other not to cause chaos.

Many igbos are bigot who look at yorubas in disdain.
Now I'm old enough and I understand they're just migrants who came to Lagos for greener pastures.
I pay every man in same coin.
And I respect igbos alot, I have good relationship with igbos.
Still I understand we're different people and presently have nothing in common.

Maybe later in the future, but not now.

I just read through all the comments Nd all I see is hatred. We are not united in this country that is why we will never move forward. Igbo hate Yoruba and Hausa, Hausa hate everybody, Yoruba are hate igbos and love the Hausa. The funny thing is Nigeria is not all about the the three major ethic group other ethic groups are also very important but the major group keep fighting over power and wealth like it is their birthright. I pray things don't escalate during the election because it won't be funny for anybody northerner, southerner, east, west, where ever you are from even those abroad will suffer

If Yorubas hate Igbos as you say.. believe me, the Igbos would have long gone extinct.

ALL the successful Igbos you see today cut their teeth from Yoruba land, some born and bred in the west, grew up among Yorubas, enjoy Awo's free education like every other Yoruba child and they never lacked in anyway.

Can same be said about Igbos who are so clannish and unwelcoming to other tribes in Nigeria?

Sensible people know that Yorubaland is the land where everyone gets eqial treatment and equal chance to become something in life. In Unilag, UI, OAU and all the schools in South West you have Igbos and other tribes in their hundreds and thousands living life freely, nobody is imposing lockdown or inciting people to go attack them on live radio.

So tell me how Yorubas are the one hating.. Omuti Obiano, Okonjo Iweala and most prominent Igbos today lived and schooled in Yorubaland.

flokii:


Did you read the nonsense you typed before posting?.. Igbos killed other ethnic group leaders to install Awolowo as president.
How does that sound to you? That's got to be the most fo0lish thing I've read since I joined this forum.

Some Yorubas are indeed sl0wpokes.. If atal this one is Yoruba.
Iwa Omoluabi values life but seems you're comfortable with killing others. A big shame!

DenreleDave:


Igbo coup.. They killed other tribes and put their brother as the head..

In return, over 3 millions igbos were used as suya meat

Penguin2:
Because of this year’s election, this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day has taken different dimensions with some elements trying to remind some Nigerians who killed their ancestors.

But what is most interesting is that all of these people are tagging the infamous 1966 coup as an Igbo coup as they have always done; erroneously so.

But it was this same people that would remind the Aniomas of Delta State that they are not Igbos.

So, I want to know what changed… Kaduna Nzeogwu is from Okpanam in Delta State.

Why is Kaduna Nzeogwu from Okpanam an Igbo man but Okpanam is not an Igboland, and everyone else in Okpanam are not Igbos?

Thanksful:


One guy said Edo is not Yoruba that he doesn't know how they answer Yoruba names. But to them Niger Delta is Ibo when they commit crime but none ibo when they do go or it's election time.

joefelin2345:
Thank you my brother. He is so happy that the Igbo killed Akintola (their arch enemy nau), but what about Brig Ademulegun, Ralph Sodeinde? Those people were bad as well?

ArcSEMPECJ:


The 3 million Igbos you just described was a propaganda calculation and this was achieved by Britain, France and other international bodies not Nigeria as of then .....lols....

One tribe that fought with Nigeria, with the aid of Britain , France, Russia on the side of NIGERIA etc but still the war lasted for good 3 years out of the shock of Northern elites....

Pls can you stand up and hail Igbos .......

But I know you will never do so because you are a Yoruba man.....

Lols, ....have you asked yourself why there are many Yoruba Muslims yet there was no jihad war in South West to say that Yoruba race was conquered by Fulanis?

Just the thought of Fulani Jihad war only made your fore fathers and fathers to quene up and sign to be a Muslim just to pretend like they are with the Fulani caliphates even when no one is chasing them...

The same fate of fear has also made TINUBU to run away from Southern brothers to form alliance with the same Fulani Northern Nigeria....

Honestly, if I happen to be a Yoruba man, I will forever Duff my cap for IGBOS.....

I will rather change nationality than try to Insult Igbos ....

According to the creator of this thread, he said:
"But what is most interesting is that all of these people are tagging the infamous 1966 coup as an Igbo coup as they have always done; erroneously so."

A Coup that was masterminded, orchestrated and executed by key heartless people like ; Chukuwama Nzeogwu, Anuforo,Onwuatuegwu, Emmanuel Efeajuna, Humphrey Chukwuma, Don Okafor from one tribe and One ethnic group only is what?


Is it a Fulani coup? Our problem in this country is when the truth is against our interest or affiliations, we always tend to see it as campaign of calumnies against us.

Truth should always be truth, irrespective of whether it favour us or not.
And the plain truth is that what happened that day jan. 15th 1966, was more of an organised Ethnic cleans!ng, a tr!bal war not just a coup.

Because after all this, Umunnakwe Aguyi-Irons! (the head of state then) from same tribe, did nothing in bringing this people to justice.

Story story oo... Yen yen yen djdjdhjdjsskdjdjdjdjdjdjdd

3 millions gone to the dusted.. Wasted like shit

If una do nonsense again. X3 of una go go again... So make una behave well oo.. Boy

Ur family ooo everyone ooo una go chop dust if una do nonsensx again.. So warned ur brothers make dem get sense

tctrills:

Ok, it was an Igbo coup can we move on from 1966? Don't forget that Obafemi Awolowo committed and was jailed for treason yet no one is putting his offences on the heads of all Yorubas.

You are a kid.....I hate discussing with a woman( Yoruba Muslim man) .....let me go to an Hausa man and discuss like how men who mean business discuss pls....

christistruth01:
There is a difference between Igbo Speaking and Igbo

For example Plateau State is Hausa Speaking but not Hausa

Parts of Edo State like Akoko Edo are Yoruba Speaking but not Yoruba

Americans are English Speaking but not English

Nzeogwu is Igbo Speaking but they see themselves as offshoot Of Benin

gidgiddy:


Nobody in Okpanam claims to be from Benin. Okpanam is short for Okpala-Anam and is as Igbo as can be
