[b]Muhammed muritala may have his own flaws..but I think if the Igbos haven't venture into coup plotting in 1966 all this hatred in Nigeria wouldn't have existed.. As if that was not enough, they decided to wage WAR against Nigeria by calling themselves Biafra. They thought they can conquer Nigerian..but BIAFRA failed.. Gowon was magnanimous in trying to ensure Nigeria became one again using d 3R's. Muritala may have acted stoopidly but that's human (when he said Odoh is a Biafran). Igbos are too greedy and lack contentment. That's why u see we Igbo girls can't just settle with a poor man. We love money and flashy things pass out lives. Greed made us to be hated. We, igbos, can kill our brothers for money..it's not a big deal to us... But going forward: 1. I will advice all those past rulers (because dey are not leaders) that are still alive to find a way to reveal all the hidden secrets... 2. History shld be taught in various schools in Nigeria. Let them know the level of hatred or love towards each other. 3. The report of National confab under Jonathan govt should be adopted and implemented. 4. All regions/ state should be allow to use their resources to build their region and abolish the issue of federal allocation. because u can't be robbing peter to pay Paul.. all state manage your God given resources. 5. Federal Character Commission is a scam and shld be abolished. 6. If all these can't be done..then allow each tribe or language or region to go their ways as an independent Nation/Republic. Think of it: Since Cyprus is a country then each state in Nigeria can be a Country on its own.[/b] 2 Likes

Penguin2: Yes, there is concern to that. With alot of challenges Nigeria is facing right now, ranging from Inflation, Naira scrambled to high price of petrol, so only history that can fuel ethnic division is what his experience can offer. US have a larger population and more ethnicity than Nigeria but way forward is their focal point never point blame to a tribe. I expect a supposed experience elderly stateman to have pool of solutions to suggest for problems solving in the country. |

pachigo001: No igbรณ CIVILIAN in either the Federal or Eastern regional government were killed. Happy fir you to list the names. Not that I want anyone to die รณ but if you put that fact against a backdrop of those that died, a serious problem caused by a basketmout coup plotter writing a cheque they eventually couldn't cash. Even if they had put the civilian leaders under house arrest and released them later, it would have been palatable, but to kill like they did and spare Igbos, a problem and a big one at that. 2 Likes |

Lanre1st: You are still missing the point, if there is a coup today in Nigeria, by virtue of the tribal composition of the army officer corps, you know the tribe that will have more officers participating. Now cast your mind back to the 60s the officer Corps was 75% igbo, so definitely you will see more igbos as participants, but it doesn't mean that it is an igbo coup. Sometimes we need to be critical and sensible in rationalising things. 3 Likes |

Vinnie2000: So to renovate your house it is foundation you will start digging, which kind of renovation is that? renovation refers to restoring something to a good working condition not destroying. By gone is by gone, most of us are not there when they were deciding, even if we were, were Yoruba involved decide for their Tribes or their own self. How Tinubu be in Aso-rock put food on my table, do Yoruba pump price different from other. The leaders do not care about the followers but theirs self if I may ask, orji Kalu, uzodima, chimaroke and the likes support BAT is for their own interest not igbo while Tinubu is also in Aso-rock to fulfilled his own interest not Yorubas.

โHe advised me not to return home as soldiers were posted to surround my house from the moment the coup happened. He also said that the ADC to Gen. Gowon, Col. Wilbert who was sent by Gen. Gowon to bring a certain briefcase to Kampala was detained in Nigeria and he was shocked and surprised that Col. Joe Garba, a relation of Gen. Gowon and close confidant and Head of the Brigade of Guards was the one who made the announcement that Gowonโs government had been overthrown for corruption, inefficiency and refusal to hand over to civilians. Why he didnt write why Col. Joe Garba supported the coup? |

Muhammed muritala was right. A man who was "responsible for the destruction of the refinery in Port Harcourt" was not good as head of NNPC. He was security risk. โA member of the Council then asked why Odoh was regarded as a security risk to which Murtala Muhammed responded that he was an Igbo man who identified himself as Biafran during the civil war and was responsible for the destruction of the refinery in Port Harcourt. Some of us felt that statement was irresponsible and unpatriotic, considering the fact that Gen. Yakubu Gowon had made an effort to bring the country together after the civil war. It was now five years post civil war. 1 Like |
