Yes you heard me loud and clear.

God made this decision because of years of Igbo people's marginalization, persecution and unfair treatment in Nigeria by fellow Nigerians. Some situations make God to take certain decisions.


God is saying, even if some Igbo political leaders made some mistakes in the past which every other tribe or human have made, Igbos have paid more than enough price for whatever mistakes some past Igbo leaders made in the past and that is why God took this decision about Nigeria.


I am not here to argue with you, I am not here to appeal to you. I am not here to make you believe me. I am only telling you what God have decided about Nigeria and if you doubt me today, I pray you and I remain alive in the next 50 years to see what God can do, and will do.

Listen, there is a way God works, He works in ways man underrate and most times don't accept until it becomes reality.


God doesn't choose kings from the richest families, He select Kings from the least expected. If you study the Bible very well you will understand how God works.


Check the Biblical stories and see how God operated and liken it to our daily lives here and you will understand the mind of God in some issues of life here on earth.


Igbo man spearheaded the fight for Nigeria's independence and through him and many others, Nigeria got independence. I am skipping some details to drive my point for you to understand and go to meditate on it.


In 1966, a young Igbo soldier led other soldiers from different tribes with majority being Igbos to carry out a coup detat mainly to stop a political turmoil engulfing the Western Region of Nigeria known as Southwest today. That political turmoil between Awolowo and Akintola was consuming Western Nigeria and causing Nigeria a lot. The young Igbo soldiers believed so much in Awolowo as a better leader to lead Nigeria than Nnamdi Azikiwe, Belewa and co, so they staged the coup to stop the planned invasion of Western Nigeria and to free Awolowo from jail to make him President of Nigeria, unfortunately they allowed their ethnic/tribal sentiments to disrupt their initial good plans and the coup ended up being a one sided coup with mostly Northern, Yoruba and Midwestern political and military leaders being killed while their Igbo counterparts got spared. This made Northern Nigerian soldiers angry and they started to plot a counter coup to remove the Igbo man who ascended to power after the coup that removed Belewa/Zikiwe from power.


The Igbo head of state got brutally murdered, and instead of the Northern soldiers to keep the matter within the military, they saw it as a conquest and an opportunity to wipe out the whole of Igbo race, starting from innocent civilian Igbos living peacefully in the North, this led to 1966 Northern pogrom against Igbos in which thousands of Igbos got killed by Northern soldiers as Gowon the then Head of state looked on doing nothing to stop the massacre


Major Odimegwu Ojukwu being the Governor of Eastern Region then appealed to Gowon to do something to stop the massacre of Igbo civilians by Northern soldiers in the North, Gowon did literary nothing, as Igbos kept running to Ojukwu who was the leader of Eastern region then to do something, Ojukwu was handicapped, he kept appealing to Gowon yet nothing happened. In summary, Ojukwu declared Eastern Nigeria an independent state to stop Igbos from being killed by people they call fellow countrymen. He made this declaration in Nsukka after much consultation with Igbo tradition, academic, student, women, market, etc leaders.


Gowon wanted to allow Eastern Nigeria to go but British government refused because of the newly discovered crude oil in Nigeria at Oloibiri Bayelsa which was under Eastern Nigeria then. British Petroleum was in charge of the crude oil exploration, and Ojukwu told them to pack and go, so this made Britain to inspire Gowon to use military force to return Eastern Nigeria aka Biafra back to Nigeria. After several negotiations both the last at Aburi in Ghana, civil war broke out as Gowon declared a Police action to forcefully return Biafra back to Nigeria and Gowon mobilized Nigerian soldiers to invade Eastern Nigeria now Biafra and Biafra started resisting by using emergency soldiers and conscription of civilians into newly formed Biafra military.


Biafra proved stronger than Nigeria
backed by Britain/Russia/Egypt/etc predicted and the war lasted for 3 years until Awolowo who got released from jail and appointed as Nigeria's Minister of Finance by Gowon suggested use of starvation policy to force Biafra to surrender and the policy led to hunger, starvation and malnutrition in Biafra land which led to loss of over 3million Biafran civilians and mostly children and women, and Ojukwu was forced by Biafran leaders to surrender Biafra to save lives, so Ojukwu fled to Ivory Coast and his Vice, Philip Effiong then surrendered Biafra to Nigeria and the war ended and Gowon declared the war a "No Victor No Vanquish" and promised to reunite all Nigerians back and reintegrate Igbos back to Nigeria. Gowon failed to do this as he watched Awolowo implemented a very harsh policy that made Igbos lose all their monies in Nigerian banks before the war such that they got only 20 pounds no matter the millions.they had in bank before the war.


All Igbo soldiers, Police officers, civil servants working with Nigerian government were sacked, only few were lucky to get their job reinstated after the war. All these caused untold hardship, hunger and crime in Eastern Nigeria then, and Igbos began to migrate massively to all parts of Nigeria and the world looking for survival.


Since the end of the war, Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas who became allies in politics started to marginalize Igbos in every sphere of life. Southeast saw no much federal projects, got sidelined in federal politics and appointments, even when states were created, only Southeast region that had more population than Northcentral and Southsouth got 5 states, that was after Southeast communities were removed and added to Southsouth region in erroneous border adjustments to punish Southeast for ever trying to secede, all these and more led to complete degradation of Southeast regional infrastructures such that Igbos started self helping their communities through community development unions and individual contributions as federal government neglected Igbo land after the end of the civil war in 1970.


Igbos forgave the rest of Nigerians and reintegrated happily and started relocating to all parts of Nigeria, doing businesses, investing and living peacefully with their host communities but little did Igbos know that the rest of Nigerians haven't forgiven them as their hatred for Igbos always raise its head whenever it is time.to make federal appointment or presidential election.


Let me stop here for now


Because of all these, the living God, the God of justice and fairness made a decision that Nigeria will forever struggle with leadership until the rest of Nigerians come together and elect an Igbo person endorsed by majority of ordinary Igbos as President of Nigeria. If not, Nigeria will forever struggle with good governance.


The big men of God may never have seen this revelation but I have and I speak with all audacity that this is the ordinance of God concerning Nigeria and God made this decision to correct Nigerians unjust hatred for Igbos because God is a just God. God is a fair God. God hate injustice. God hate marginalization. God hate ganging up against one person.

Ekwueme was never a president, just vice.
The 1963 constitution gave Zik constitutional powers, he was head of the federation, head of parliament, he could dissolve the parliament and also convey it. He had powers to appoint heads of government agencies, he was also head of council of ministers and relay council's advice to the prime minister. Prior to that, Zik was the first Governor General of the federation appointed directly by the Queen and he was the Commander in chief of the Armed Forces.
For Ironsi, what did he do in 6months?, busying destroying and tearing down the powers and vestiges of regionalism.
For Ekwueme, how useful was he to his principal?, what was his impact?. The three men did nothing but only pursued sectional and parochial interests.

The biggest (and most unintelligent) lie ever crafted by igborillas was this "the coup plotters planned to handover to Awolowo" horsesh*t that they spout about. If Awo had been out of prison he would've been killed along with the leaders of the other regions. You retards ain't fooling no one. The 4 most important Federal officials in Nigeria then were 1 northerner (Balewa) and 3 igbos (Zik, Orizu and Ironsi). Curiously, only 1 died; the only non-igbo. Of the 3 major tribes' premiers, only one was not killed; yup! You guessed correctly. The igbo among them. You guys always have this daft impression that you're fooling anyone. We can see how your govs have turned your 5 plot of land cesspit into El Dorado. The SE is so beautiful and well run you guys are running to the SW by night bus.

You dey mind the jonzing m0fos?.. Awolowo would have been the first to fall in the hands of the coup plotters in the 15 January, 1966 Igbo coup.
Same Awolowo they betrayed to go form alliance with Ahmadu Bello is who the liars claim they wanted to make President.. We get tribal mark na, we no get sense.

Because lgb0s love playing victims alot, they keep claiming to be marginalized.
The average lgb0 can't list 5 substantial things to prove marginalization but they all talk about "marginalization", most of them don't even know what the word means.

Joseph brothers who were older, huge and taller than Joseph mocked Joseph just the same way you just did now when Joseph told them the dream he had and how they bowed down for him. They almost killed Joseph because of that dream, but at the end, many years later, that God's ordinance that Joseph shared with his brothers came to past.


Jews never believed that the Savior Jesus Christ will be born into the family of a poor carpenter and at the Menger. They said Christ is not the Saviour because of his background and birth circumstances but that is how God works.


When God made this decision about Nigeria, He didn't ask for your opinion and input or explanation why it is not right, God's ways is not man's ways. The only thing that convince men is time. Time will convince you about my words today, but remember my words when it happens.

Delusion of grandeur.

You can keep hallucinating, but we here and other normal people see things the way they really are. You and your group can see the world with a colored glass in your hallucinations but we see the world exactly as it is. Your track records speaks loudly. Your Ibo political leaders have never done anything unique or worthy of emulation; They can't even take charge of the security situation of the region.

Your current governors in the SE, are they Hausas or Efik? Why have they not perform the miracle of an Ibo man?

One thing I like about your group is that you use to form ideas in your head and then stand with it as if it is true.

And with the God things, you can only deceive the religious gullibles and your fellow group member.

In your lifetime, and very soonest in days to come, Nigeria will become great and a country to desire, her people will prosper, there will be enough for everybody, businesses will flourish, peace will be established in every corner including the SE and laughter will be on every mouth.

He chose to watch events from overseas. Not even the Commonwealth Prime Ministers’ Conference in Lagos which ended on January 12, could bring him back to Lagos.
