Yeah, I modified after you posted other things!
I was using your own analogy. Pardon me for using Brazil instead of Nigeria, it's just an example.
However, the relative ration of one Yoruba man to five Igbos is larger than that of one outlaying player among 12 others playing from the same tribe.
Especially, when I have already said that the coup's original benefactor would have been Awo who was jailed by the corrupt Tafawa Balewa administration.
Whether we had one one Yoruba, two or even three could have made no difference, because those first coupists were not looking at themselves as Igbos or Yorubas, because they saw a need to clean up the whole nation, not their own tribes.

menabadoo:
I think you should do that yourself before I degrade myself by engaging you in a tribalistic discourse.

vanbonattel:
what these people failed to notice, was that the Igbos started to fight another civil war in this country immediately after the first one ended. They spread out into every state and secretly started buying up assets. Since Awolowo cornered all companies and sol d shares to Yorubas, igbos moved the other way and bought all available lands. Including yoruba land and lagos, which is a no mans land anyway.

the housas and yoruba won the civil war. But lost the ensuring peace

StBlack1:


You dont need degrading yourself. Your points have done well to do that. ....and to now try excusing yourself from a tribalistic discourse of which you invoked is nothing but a show of a Kingkong who was later shown his alternate way home to Abidjan in 1960.

Please tell me something if you are ready to talk. !!!

StBlack1:
Oh boy, see massive katayanings from TANoids.

"Yorubas caused the First coup...
Yorubas are great BUT have developmental setbacks......."

TANoids sure WILL NEVER dissapoint you with their ultra-obtuse way of reasoning.

menabadoo:
well, I prefer to keep mute then since you have decided to understand every of my comment from the tribal point of view.

ProfCorruption:


1.Do you know how many people planned the coup or you're just throwing figures around, carelessly?

2.I have no business with whosoever was conceived as original benefactor but who eventually benefited from the coup. I don't judge people by intention but by their actions.

3.Keep in mind we will also analyse the goals scored by the team and then do post match analysis. Lol

So one more time, what should we call the team? (a) Brazilian (b) Nigerian (c) Nigerian-Brazilian (d) I don't know

StBlack1:


There is no point deceiving oneself and playing the Azikwe style of I-am-nationalist when you'v been caught red handed in situations like this. The correct thing to do is admit your errors & thats all, everyone moves on.

It only takes a FOOL to think there are nationalists in this mere geographical 'deception' called Nigeria.

Ngozi123:


Sorry if you mind my asking but what is a TANoid?

mekadinho:
Meeen... See hatred, and this man man is an elder statesman? Its time we vote on weda we wanna remain in one NG. Everybody is just tired of this country, yorubas want Oduduwa, Niger Deltans want Republic of Niger Delta, Igbos want Biafra, Hausas want Arewa, everybody is just tired.

PhockPhockMan:
Omenka is never an Igbo man, don't mind the deceptive name. I believe he's a core fulani. His only contribution to this topic is to defend APC and Junaid Mohammed.
I thank God there are Igbo soldiers in Nairaland that can defend Igbo interest.

idumuose:

Omenka is not an igbo man

Omenka will never be an igbo man

Omenka does not have the ability to be an igbo man

Col Frank omenka,the dreaded and wicked former director of DMI under Abacha regime was not an igbo man.

Omenka is either from Benue(katsina Ala) or Taraba state(bantagee or Giden dorowa)

StBlack1:


OH ...you wanna know who a TANoid is? Ill help you out then.

A TANoid is a humanoid who thinks like this:
"I Before Others" .

Ngozi123:

No need for insults sir, I'm just asking you a question.

naijaking1:


Your persistence on who benefited from the coup shows that like many previous people, you're bent on justifying the massacre of Igbos, because 'they had benefited' from a coup millions of them knew nothing about. The textbooks, articles, and first hand records are filled with names and number of the first coup plotters, you should have access to those.

mikeansy:
When Alhaji Aliko Dangote is Nigeria's undisputed monopoly and the richest black man walking the earth?

The only man in real control of Nigeria economy is Dangote.

Sir Louis Ojukwu used to be an elite industrialist but right now and after the civil war we have nobody in that class.

So yes Igbos have not hijacked nothing

Dangote is the one who has hijacked the economy!

StBlack1:


Ngozi everDull, Write well now, HABA.

warrior01:
Shebi, them want one Nigeria, then, they should be prepared for it. Igbos believe so much in merit and competition and anyone that feels otherwise should go and hug a wet transformer. Nigeria was raped and brutalized by these same elements of destruction especially from the northern part of the country. They believe so much in welfarist policies with little or no results. I don't pray we go back that route again if this country must develop.

ProfCorruption:


Why did you have to say all of them were not Igbo? If there is one Nigerian in a Brazilian team, how do we address them?
(a) Brazilian team (b) Nigerian Team (c) Brazilian-Nigerian team (d) I don't know

StBlack1:


Please can you explain to me why despite the ubiquitous looks of Yoruba cities, oblong-headed goons from the east leave their caves (called home to them) to these same cities?

Sunnybobo3:


Same way the Brits left UK to come civilize your forefathers.

ProfCorruption:


The point is what Junaid said was reprehensible and totally uncalled for. Junaid is one man that the press should seek to avoid.

1. Instead of condemning him and move on or even possibly call for his arrest, some sought to link him with APC. Not because they didn't know Junaid is not a fan of APC but to extract maximum political benefit in a way of poisoning the minds of APC leaning Igbos.

2.Some wanted to use his caustic views to score cheap historical points.

3.Some used it to issue a blanket generalizations of Igbo this or Igbo that.

We all need to move on and move forward.

idumuose:

Your question has no bearing.major Wole Ademoyega was among the coup plotters.He
was among the five majors who planned the coup.Don't bring up a football team in analyzing
a pure political matter.

Malawian:
99% of all those involved in the first coup was from the western region, and they wanted to instal a westerner as PM.

SamIkenna:



Everything is politics. We're in an intense political season so its plausible that what Junaid said was aimed at inciting and galvanizing the average northerner for the battle ahead. Think about it - why attack SW? It makes no sense at all whether he's an APC card carrying member or not. The last time he attacked SW on the pages of Punch News (why Punch regularly interviews Junaid is beyond me) was when Northern hope for returning to Aso Rock was hinged on PDP (I suggest you read that piece to see what kind of men you share nationality with). Now that APC is glaringly hausa-Fulani's vehicle for, once again, assuming the leadership of their great grand father's estate and, rightly or wrongly, Igbos are seen as the great obstacle to the dream....obviously he has to attack. So, its political - which is why APC is getting jabs.

But you're right, it's time to move on and hopefully you'll move on too.

lacasa:
From the Interviewee to those that commented on the thread especially the narrow minded lot that generalize a random interview of one old cargo with no regional representation of the Northern people and their public opinion, are all a classic example of why Nigeria and its unending travails continue to liger on with us.


so, if one slowpoke named junaid Mohammed spills gibberish as he just did, then it is sanctioned as public opinion for the whole north??.

and as is, the forum has gone into a frenzy, drooling with hate speech and stupid talk.


a bunch of jobless Neophytes.
