They both share the same ambitions but the Fulani is strategic about his and also very diplomatic in his planning except the ewu Buhari.


Ibos hate fulanis because fulanis beat them at their game and Fulani is not keen to share power with them knowing how power lusting and greedy an 0koro is.

Irony1:


In what way did igbos authorize Ifeajuna to carry out the coup? This is how how guys just go about manufacturing lies. But let me warn you ethnic baiting is a criminal offence. The guy who threatened to kills igbos that was picked up in Oshogbo will be child's play compared to what will happen to you if you continue in this your unfortunate mission.

tishbite42:

Balewa, Bello and Akintola imprisoned him
Not Igbos
Go and fight your slave masters

leokid866:
lol so Ironsi that sent him to Calabar prison did what?

tishbite42:

He was already in Calabar before the coup.
Bloody liar

leokid866:
and the person they wanted to make PM was left there till Ironsi was killed a full 8 months after the coup acted out in a bid to make PM took place.....tell me what changed? Was Ironsi just there to test the Mic before passing it to Awo?

tishbite42:

You're too ignorant for my liking
Ironsi stopped the coup in Lagos

dey play, my babe is even more Yoruba than you, I won't tell you how

LaRosa01:
keep quite aside propaganda what do you know about Nigerian History,the plan for Igbo to dominate Nigetia started in 1954 or was known in 1954 only God knows when it started,by 1957 Nnamdi had declared serval times that Igbo was a special race and they must rule over Nigeria infact the fulanis learned of this agenda from the Igbo.you think Igbo greed started today or there hate started today.Nnamdi became the first president in a deal with the north where he proclaimed northerners as foolish people hence while he did a deal with the north and not the south west.he didn't know that the Fulani may look foolish but they are always 10 steps ahead in planning hence Nnamdi become pRESIDENT AND THE NORTH produced the prime minister but Nnamdi quickly learnt that all power of the state is in the hands of the prime minister while the president had no real power.and the Igbo began again,this is where 1963 coup came ,it is an Igbo coup designed by Igbos for power grabbing.infact the idea for that coup came from ojukwu senior who was a chief strategist to Nnamdi.
You must be a clown you want to pick me up,hahahahah
Can you stand what comes after.pikin when think say him papa dick na toy

see him bragging as if he knows what will happen to him in few minutes

Judgementa1:


Bro always argue with fact not emotion.

Chinua Achebe the erudite novelist tried to change the narrative of the January 15, 1966 Coup in his book There Was A Country to portray his ethnic group as the victim, but this has been debunked: “Igbo in the North were widely taunting their hosts on the loss of their leaders.

Celestine Ukwu, a popular Igbo musician, released songs titled Ewu Ne Ba Akwa (Goats Are Crying) and others celebrating “Igbo power”, the “January Victory.” Posters, stickers, postcards, cartoons displaying the murdered Sardauna begging Major Nzeogwu at the gates of heaven or Balewa burning outright in pits of hell or Nzeogwu standing St. George-like on Sardauna, the defeated dragon, began to show up across Northern towns and cities.

These provocations were so pervasive that they warranted the promulgation of Decree 44 of 1966 banning them”. Even Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe noted these atrocities in his The Origins of the Civil War: “Some Ibo elements, who were domiciled in Northern Nigeria taunted northerners by defaming their leaders through means of records or songs or pictures.


They also published pamphlets and postcards, which displayed a peculiar representation of certain northerners, living or dead, in a manner likely to provoke disaffection.”

These images and songs eventually led to the so-called pogroms/ethnic-cleansing/genocide, not the coup.

Irony1:


Do you know the funny thing. The person who killed regionalism was Gowon with decree 8 that abolished regions and created states. Ironsi with his unitary decree only centralised the civil service, he kept the regions and provinces intact.

Lol. See this onuku. Them tell you say Igboland na only the 5 SE states? You be thief?

Isese has been banned forever and the title of Oba replaced with Emir by force. Soon Yoruba names will be phased out from Kwara state entirely. You first heard it from me.

As you bend over to maliciously concentrate all your dark energy towards my course, you're leaving your stinky ass vulnerable to being burnt and surely, it shall be set on fire.

Dude if you see any igbo doing ethnic baiting please report of you have evidence. For me I will report you for ethnic baiting

Irony1:


How can Celestine's song that was waxed in 1950 be the song that was composed for the Jan 66 coup? Una lies no be here.

RevDesm0ndJuju:


Which Ironsi ?

When Gowon mobilised northern soldiers in Lagos and Ejoor returned to Enugu to mobilise same, Ironsi grew cold feet and began feigning ignorance of the coup.

It was Gowon and Ejoor that sabotaged the coup.

Ironsi started playing innocent thinking he is fooling others not knowing every of his moves was being closely watched.

A few days later, Ironsi secured an abdication letter from a faction of Ibo cabinet members serving the Tafawa Belewa government and from there declared himself head of state

Decree 34 was drafted on the 16th of January but Ironsi seeing that the coup had failed to exterminate the likes of Gowon, Ejoor and a host of other non Ibo officers , delayed the announcement for four months later .


Ironsi, Azikiwe, Ojukwu Snr and Ojukwu Jnr alongside every Ibo politician back then were neck deep in the plot.

If not for both Ejoor and Gowon's intervention , the ethnic cleansing and purging of our political and military sphere would have continued for days with Ironsi citing corruption and treason why they needed to kill other Nigerians.


The Jan 15 coup was an Ibo coup to advance Ibo interests above all others.

Irony1:


You see why I said you have no sense. Never was there anytime Zik made a deal with the North for presidency. Note that after the parliamentary elections there was no clear Majority between the parties. NPC was first NCNC was second and AG was third. But the law stated that a coalition would ensure majority and appoint prime minister. Sardauna told the British that any coalition between the parties in the south would make the North not be interested in power. Mind you in the Lancaster agreement that all the so called founding fathers Awo inclusive signed with the British it stated that as a precondition for independence, all the borders of colonial Nigeria must not be drawn in anyway that was why the anti secession clause was written.
Back to the elections, the British fearing that the north will not join and being weary of losing the north to the French colonies, stated that a majority government can only be formed by a coalition between NPC and any of the parties in the south. The irony is that AG through Akintola at the behest of Awo wanted to secretly push for a coalition with NPC.
It was Sardauna himself that called Zik while Zik was in Asaba meeting with Awo, that AG were with him discussing coalition(tell me who was the greedy one here). Zik sensing the game now agreed to the coalition with NPC and infact the British never wanted AG in that coalition.
Go and read the book the "End of an empire" you will see declassified colonial documents on the Nigeria's elections and independence.
You see these propaganda games from you no dey work. Try and have sense or you will be arrested for ethnic baiting.

RevDesm0ndJuju:



But I am Yoruba .


Fool

Deadlytruth:

Per the first bolded, it is an incomplete statement hence doesn't convey any explanation. It therefore seems more like a way to use sophistry to cleverly dodge the question.
Per the second bolded, Akintola never had the blessing of Awolowo for that trip to Ahmadu Bello in Kaduna. The truth is that even three years before Independence, the about-to- depart colonial overlords had already set up a shadow indigenous government over which they made the same Balewa the head and gave Akintola a ministerial portfolio under Balewa. In essence therefore, Akintola before Independence already been used to being in alliance with the North and had had the taste of the filthy lucre of power and for fear that subjecting himself to the Awolowo-invented egalitarian idealogy of the larger AG would cost him the filthy lucre, he had to play smart by quickly taking his own faction out of AG to go and negotiate that deal with Ahmadu Bello. All the events which later happened and culminated in Operation Wetie proved clearly that the rivalry between Akintola and Awolowo was founded on their disagreement about alliance with the North with Akintola in favour of it and Awolowo against it.

Timothy89:



when will you arrest the guy and track him down as you're threatening kid



you need common sense to be on this forum

Timothy89:



stop bragging, do it already. I dont have any reason to report any igbo



how many igbo did I want to report? is it the one Nairaland or on Facebook? Instagram or twitter



you must think I'm jobless like you to be reporting people and threatening them as you're doing. kid

RevDesm0ndJuju:


Liar.

Decree 8 abrogated Ironsi's unity decree 34.

It was decree 34 that destroyed regions and created a powerful federal government in its place.

Decree 8 was meant to return Nigeria back to her original template but with more autonomy for regions that provisions were made for regional armies.

Only Ojukwu rejected this because decree 8 created states out of the old eastern region.


Decree 8 was a return to true republican government on the lines of the American system with executive powers for each state governor and the president at the centre.

Ojukwu kicked against this because it saw to the removal of the Ibo weary Niger Delta parts of the old yeast who had been clamouring since 1953 to leave the old east for you Ibos.

The coup of Jan 15 was carried out to prevent the creation of COR region by act of Federal parliament .

This is why you Ibos staged that coup and abolished all regions and placed yourselves as rulers of your betters.

Irony1:


I didn't use any sophistry and stop trying to be clever by half, these are facts let us stop all these games. The same Zik you people claimed hated Awolowo was the one who settled the rift Awolowo had with the Deji of Akure then.

Irony1:


guy can you stop being a liar and have conscience. Please were the regions not intact when decree 34 was promulgated? and again the decree 8 from Gowon was a civil war strategy it was never meant for unity. That is whY Gowon in recent years said the creation of states created more division than unity.

Please for once in this your miserable life stop lying. another lie again from you is that the coup was to prevent the COR region, na wahh oooooo the way you people lie in this forum is really shocking, when there was never any referendum from Balewa administration like the one that led to midwest creation. haaa make una fear God and stop this ethnic baiting it is a crime and you will be arrested for this.

Deadlytruth:


Decree 34 of Ironsi abrogated the regions and changed them to groups of provinces which were now reporting to Ironsi who had made himself the maximum ruler like Adolf Hitler unlike during the actual regional system when the regional premiers were not reporting to Balewa at the center but enjoyed autonomy and did their things their own way by making their own laws and policies. Show me a policy or law which any of those groups of provinces made entirely on its own during Ironsi's time as head of state. I am waiting.

Deadlytruth:


I can hate you and settle a rift between you and someone else if that will afford me the opportunity to destroy you. One of the laws of power says, bring your friends close and your enemies closer.

If Zik was so good and reasonable, then why did Ojukwu hate him that he didn't attend Zik's funeral which was being held in Onitsha which was just few kilometers away from him in Nnewi but he didn't mind travelling thousands of kilometers to Ikenne to attend the burial of the same Awolowo you term a demon and even eulogized him as the best president Nigeria never had?

Irony1:


That is a big lie. Zik and Ojukwu is not the issue here and again did Ojukwu speak ill about Zik when he died? Stop dancing everywhere and dodging. If truly Awo loathed Zik and vice versa, why would Awo invite Zik to settle the rift between him and Deji of Akure. Look if i have a valid case against someone i cannot invite my enemy to be the arbiter of the case knowing fully well that any issues i have will please my enemy. Stop this games you are not smart as you think.
