Operation: Araba was a military operation carried out by northern junior officers led by Murtala Mohammed and had as its core agenda, the secession of northern Nigeria. The operation also had Vendetta on the menu to be served on those in the military whom they had come to the conclusion were part of and beneficiaries of the Jan 15, Coup.

While the Vendetta stage of the coup was a 100% success, the secessionist aim did not sail through owing to then Lt Col Gowon convincing Murtala to drop the secessionist part.

Now let's imagine that operation Araba had been successfully carried out to a "T" and northern Nigeria left the union.

Do you think Ojukwu will not have capitalized on the power vacuum in Western Nigeria and not invade and occupy it?

If Operation Araba had stuck to its mission, the Nigerian civil war would have been totally different and it will see Western and Midwestern Nigeria and minorities trapped in Biafra fighting a brutal war to drive out Biafran troops and civilians from their lands. Northern Nigeria would have still contributed material and man power resources to the coalition to tame Ojukwu's aggression.

If Operation Araba had sailed through to its initial end, there won't be any ground for victimhood and Biafra would have been a landlocked shithole hated y their neighbours.

Let's all pretend we don't know why Ojukwu was matching to Lagos the then capital... Let's all off our reasoning capacity please

Ok. What of the invasion and occupation of the then neutral Midwest under Ejoor who had began to excersice decree 8 and refused to allow Federal forces invade Biafra through the Midwest .

Ejoor refusing federal troops to invade Biafra via the Midwest is why the war between northern Nigeria and Biafra was contained through Benue axis.

So why did Ojukwu invade the Midwest exactly after Ejoor had made it clear to both Gowon and Ojukwu that the Midwest will not faccilitate the war between the north and Biafra ?

Note that decree 8 was in effect and had seen to regional armies.

Ojukwu's invasion of the Midwest is why Gowon rescinded regional armies and saw Midwest as a staging ground to root out the Biafran aggressors.

Had opration Araba gone ahead, and the North has secede, I think that the most likely thing that would have happened is that Irinsi's deputy, Brigadier Ogundipe, woukd have declared himself head of State, he was the highest ranking officer at the time.

Ogundipe would have called a meeting of the Military Governor of the East, Ojukwu, the Governor of the Midwest, Ejoor, and the west, Fajuyi, assuming Fajuyi he was still alive

They would have discussed the way foward. Personally, I don't think any of them would have been interested in fighting a civil war to bring the North back. Most likely they would have backed the idea of "Republic Of Southern Nigeria" with Ogundipe as Military Head of State.

mrvitalis:

Let's pretend we don't know the route to Lagos grom East...

Let's pretend Ojukwu never gave Midwest
their own independent country

Like I said let's turn our brains off

Oga we are Niger Delta and we have no problem whatsoever with our eastern brethren and seriously if you don't have anything useful to do with your miserable life and existence,why don't you just hang yourself?!

We are tired of this bitterness and hatred you good for nothing old men keep spreading everyday!!!


Come to think of it,you log on to this forum everyday and the next thing,one old f..ol is lamenting his arsse over the Igbos everyday!!!!

GBTYO:


See talk

Did Midwest tell you they wanted independence from Nigeria with a stooge Okonkwo as their dictator?

What of the Adaka Boro secessionist movement your same ojukwu brutally quashed ?

You guys can lie for Africa.


Ojukwu had no regards for the so-called non Igboid minorities in both the old eastern and Midwestern region.

0koro. you too daft abeg...you too foooool smh

You people are always quick to tell others to move on but you keep bringing about the past....which Kain swear be this?!

The question is,who is happy with the way Nigeria is today?

GBTYO:


You didn't read well.

Go back and read what I wrote.

A civil war would have still ensued because ojukwu and his zikist bandits in Enugu will still go ahead to invade and occupy both the Midwest and Western region.

The civil war would have been between Midwest/Western Nigeria/Ethnic minorities trapped in Biafra Vs you guys .

GBTYO:


0koro, when you are ready to stop claiming SS that you are not but instead of the pained IPOB goat that has every of his post castigating ronu people , we can engage..

By the way, the hornets nest was being poked by your IPOB brethren and you expect us to keep quiet?

When bitter truths are dropped you all start crying about bringing back the past while you continue doing your revisionism of same past.


Your stinking hypocrisy does not apply to me

Greenback:

If I am Igbo and lying that I am south south,may heaven and earth and the spirits deal harshly with me. But if I am not igbo and from the south south and you are here accusing me of lying then may heaven and earth and the spirits deal with you and your generation harshly.

gidgiddy:





With the North out of the picture, there would have been no Biafra, no war, or need for war.

GBTYO:




Your post history says otherwise .


You even attacked the entire Yoruba race over Betty and called all Yorubas ronu bigots .

No SS person is that hate filled and mannerless .

GBTYO:


I thought as much and you just proved me with this concluding statement.

Because if the north had left , you believed that there won't have been any opposition to your Ibo agenda..

You already brutally clamped down on Eastern minorities seeking to leave Nigeria for good.

The events of annexing the Midwest and propping a stooge as its military dictatator are there for all to read.

The ruse of using Banjo - a Yoruba man to capture western Nigeria and the conditions outlined by ojukwu if this had succeeded are all there to see.

You believe there won't be a war because you believe ojukwu would have conquered the entire Southern Nigeria

But here is where you got it wrong because the people of southern Nigeria would not have sat down and see you lord over them. That would have been the biggest insult to their sensibilities and ethnic pride.

This is when all shit will be let loose

mrvitalis:

Ojukwu had no regards for minority?
Who gave the name Biafra
Who was the vice to ojukwu?

gidgiddy:


Well, the North is now lording over the rest of Nigeria since the end of the war, so nobody's situation changed either way

gidgiddy:


You arw saying this because you don't know Nigerian history nor have any idea that from the time line of opration Araba to Ojukwu declaring Biafra was a period of 10 months. A lot happened in those 10 months that would not have happened had the North seceded.

With the North no longer being part of Nigeria, the next head of State would have been Brigadier Ogundipe, who unlike Gowon, was well liked and had the most seniority. He would have declared the rest of Nigeria, the Western Region, Midwest Region, and the Eastern Region as "The Republic Of Southern Nigeria", or another name along those lines.

With the North out of the picture, there would have been no Biafra, no war, or need for war.

Greenback:

Thank you very much.
God bless you. It would have been a glorious union.

How beautiful it would be if fooools keep their foolery to themselves.... people are seeking ways to be useful in life but some are just too daft and duuullll....

You ibos?

I laff.

If Araba had succeeded, you won't be in Nigeria today but locked up in your SE.

Greenback:

You know what,to hell with you and your evil fixated mindset...we ain't referring to epe,eboh fellas like you,shattered,who wanna have anything to do with you!!!

This one has nothing to contribute.

We will continue to debunk your lame Biafra propaganda and expose you as the aggressors that you are.

Typical.

Gidgidy has spent his entire time online condemning the Nigerian union but all of a sudden he now believes a Southern Nigeria under Ojukwu's conquest would have been an utopia.
