Ngozi123:Sorry. I also lost relatives. But we igbos need to build bridges, one way of doing this is in a world where people are hell bent on hating you, is to appreciate people for the little things they do for you. 1 Like 1 Share |

I have commended Awolowo, it’s time for me to commend Yakubu Gowon. Yakubu Gowon is a good man, it is by Gods timing that what happened in 1966 happened and it’s by Gods timing that someone like yakubu gowon happened to be in the position he is at the time he was in it. Yakubu gowon, at a time when things were going south, when there was killings everywhere he tried his best to stop the bloodshed, he called out many times to his northern brethren to stop the killings. There was some firm resistance against him, especially with him being a Christian and a northern minority, him being the head of state as at then could have saved us. I just imagine if it was Murtala Muhammad that was the head of state at the time the Biafra war happened. Maybe I won’t be here typing this, maybe the igbo tribe would have gone extinct, maybe we would be a tribe people of now would hear only in stories. 1 Like 2 Shares |

historic:Aburi accord was done. Do u know what it means to find a northerner living in the east who was a third generation northerner whose ancestors lived in the east, to testify. They could find someone like that out of millions, but picture of this bread label or any testimony about this bread label wasn’t mentioned in Oputa panel, but all of a sudden it exists and u can just find it if u want to and the bread happens to be a fresh bread despite the fact that the matter happened in 1966. |

Many people don’t know this, but the major trigger of the erosion in the east was the civil war. The bombing of many areas. After the war was over proper geological assessments and recovery wasn’t done, they just let nature heal itself. As time went on the reverse happened. 2 Likes |

historic: My question to you,is when was Adewale Ademoyega brought into this coup plot by Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna and Onwuatuegwu? Was Ademoyega among the original planners of the January 66 coup? I hope you know that this coup plans actually were started in 1962 and at that time Ademoyega was not among the platters. The only consistent and ever present plotters were Ifeajuna who was the master mind and Nzeogwu. Between 1962 and 1966 many officers were added and discarded for various reasons until they settled on the final 5 majors on the 15th of January 1966. 2 Likes |

Slytiger: If you say the west and north believe in regionalism why didn't they reverse it when they know it is a better option. Regionalism was abolished went Gowon took over. Remember before the civil war there was aburi accord in Ghana so all the region were still in control of there resources. Gowon abolished regionalism when he broke the agreement the had in Accra. Gowon enacted a decree which made ojukwu to get angry. This was why he called stakeholders in eastern Nigeria to decide on way forward before declaring biafra independence. In a nutshell Gowon abolished regionalism when he created the twelve states. Get your facts right 1 Like 1 Share |

Coldie: @Bolded, Oga, see where you twisted this matter to? In my opinion you are one of the most dangerous Ibo posters on this forum. At least with posters like Gidgiddy and LOVEALAIGBO you understand that they are Ibo supremacists and they don't hide it. You come across as a closet Ibo supremacist with tendency to twist history to suit your narrative and agenda..... 1 Like |

gidgiddy: The reasons are staring you in the face but you prefer to be a coward. 1. Aside from the January and July 1999 coups no other coup in Nigeria has been bloody. And the bloody nature of the july coup was a reprisal for the january one. 2. The july coup is tagged the northern counter coup so you are lying when you say is not identified with its tribal nature. 2 Likes |

confusedlady: Ademoyega had always had the mind of setting things right before he joined the army, he wasn't happy the way the country was being run by those corrupt and selfish politicians. He even said it himself that he stylishly chipped in the idea to Ironsi when he met him during his training (military) abroad but he (Ironsi) was buying the idea. So he was glad to meet other learned officers who were ready and willing to carry out the coup for the betterment of the country. Their plan was to send a junior officer on a plane to effect the prompt release of Awolowo immediately the coup had been carried out successfully. Ironsi was also their major target cos he was the GOC then and had to been captured with the others but was lucky ( or intentionally spared by one of the plotters ) to evade being captured leading to the collapse of the coup. If Ironsi had been successfully captured, the story would have taken a different turn and the events that followed the coup afterwards wouldn't have occured cos the plotters had it all planned out in how to govern the country fairly. 1 Like |
