he should have court martial those igbo rebels that lead the coup for mutiny but rather he was playing hanky panky..so the northern soldiers felt he supported the killing of their kinsmen remember no igbo politician lost their life in the coup and to make matters worse igbos where occupying the keys positions in the military and civil service...quote me and I will teach you history

DukeNija:


Yoruba lmaooooo
What have you that the igbos have not bested.
Is it in education? Industrialization? Trade and commerce? Sport? Where can you sincerely say you are equal to the igbos. You have been president once and how did that make your region developed? How did Obasanjo make the SW better than other regions?
You claimed to have education, but the igbos took that away from you. Ask WAEC for the past 4 years.

Igbo people are a rare and blessed race just like the Jewish people of Israel.

In 1966, Hausa/Fulani/Middle Belt beat their chest to wipe Igbos out completely immediately the brutal murder/overthrow of Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi by Danjuma/Gowon led coup.

Hausa/Fulani/Middle Belt started a brutal mass killing of igbo children, mothers, pregnant women (ripping open their pregnancy), youths and men living in all northern states for no justifiable reason.

Gowon refused to stop this brutal act by northern Nigerians as Nigerian armies, police of northern origin joined in the killing of civilian igbos living in northern region of Nigeria.

Ojukwu being the Eastern govern cried to Gowon the head of state but Gowon refused to stop the killing as loads of murdered igbos were brought back to igbo land in lorries...tears and cries became the songs in igbo communities then.

This led to the civil war as Ojukwu was left with no other option but to declare the sovereign state of Biafra to give Igbos freedom from oppression and murder by people they call their countrymen and women.

Britain, US, Egypt and Russia instructed and backed Gowon to return Biafra to Nigeria because they were afraid that if Biafra was allowed to secede peacefully from Nigeria, it will inspire other aggrieved regions in Africa, Russia, etc to also seek for secession.

Biafra with no preparation for war, no formal military, no weapon, no money was able to hold Nigeria (north, southwest and middle belt) in ransom for 2years plus. Which other tribe in Nigeria can dare this? You think northerners and other tribes don't know y they fear Igbos and are afraid to see them become president? They know what Igbo people can do.

Before this war broke out, Igbo people were the richest in Nigeria; Ojukwu's father was the richest man in Africa, owned half of Lagos Island lands...founded Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE).

All the money they had in Nigerian banks before the war were all seized by Awolowo led-Nigeria ministry of finance.

No matter how many thousands or millions an igbo man had in bank before the civil war broke out in 1967, they were given 10pounds only as a way of punishing them and making the Igbos poor and slave to Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba forever, but Igbos have a living God called- Jehovah Jireh!

My own father told me he had close to 10million naira in Nigeria's currency today...an equivalent but was given just 10pounds by Awolowo.

Even after all these wicked laws against the igbos, 20years after the civil war, igbos bounced back even stronger and wealthier than their oppressors.

Igbos began to migrate outside Nigeria, began to trade, study and today, igbo people are the richest tribe in the whole Nigeria (judging by per capita income not just by single individual having wealth of thousands like Dangote).

According to MDGs recent poverty index in Nigeria, southeast and southwest are the regions in Nigeria with the least rate of poverty and disease.

Poverty and disease is so high in the north despite their decades of ruling Nigeria and stealing Niger Delta/Igbo crude oil.

Igbo people haven't produced president since 1966 and yet they are more prosperous than any other tribe in Nigeria.

If you see 100 beautiful mansion in any state in Nigeria today, an Igbo man owns at least 30 of it while the rest tribes share the remaining 70, isn't that awesome after all the joint oppression of Igbo tribe by other Nigerian tribes?

Today, the God of justice who warned us to avoid persecuting the innocent and killing visitors and strangers in our lands is avenging the deaths of innocent Igbo people murdered in cold blood by northern youths from 1966 - 2011.

This natural nemesis can be seen today in the form of Boko Haram attacks in the northern Nigeria...the enemity between Hausa/Fulani herdsmen and Middle Belt people.

So, respect the Igbos...they love peace and don't forment trouble...don't kill strangers in their land no matter what...and reason God and nature keep blessing them despite the hate and marginalisation.

God is able

the igbos were printing shirts of kaduna nzeogwu referring Dem as heroes to make it worse a musician from the east release a track dissing the northerner's that alone caused the bloody coup and riot.. Need more?

amaben2020:

there you go again, Major Kaduna Nzeogu look at the first name again pls, Kaduna Nzeogu doesn't even speak igbo language fluently and didn't carry out the coup on behalf of the igbos, it was a personal feat, if you're sincere, Major Adegboyega was among, General Ironsi was also on the list, why didn't anyone say a word when the Hausa generals partook in numerous coups? Abacha, IBB, Dullardinhoe, Murtala all carried out coups, why the hate on igbos

naijaking1:
I see now how closely the dude resembled GEJ for being too comfortable with 'those people' And the result was almost the same, right

Everything will make sense when u tell me why only easterners were left alive in the first coup.. pls tell me nzeogwu is yoruba

The know nothing about Nigeria.

Go through history and you will realize that there has never been one Nigeria and will never be one MINDED Nigeria.

Aguiyi Ironsi never knew anything about the coup. He was marked for elimination and only rebuffed the coup plotters with his security

Haba... This statement is wholly ignorant and uncalled for. He was dead for over a year when the war started and he tried before hand to stop it. He was on a countrywide tour to calm the nerves of citizens before he died in Ibadan.



FYI, this man is the bravest officer ever on record in the Nigerian Army. He once walked into to enemy territory in the Congo unarmed except for his swagger stick and walked out with their surrender. The British officers called him "General Ironsides"

amaben2020:

How many igbos at that time were at the high echelons of power? The main guy then was Fetus Okotie Eboh Who was from the Eastern region was killed alongside Tafawa Balewa with their dead bodies rotten, I have the picture of that ugly scene

kraftykc:


Key positions? Like which ones please?

tucky200:

He was among those who did the first coup in nigeria,which played a key role in what brought about the bloody civil war

Key positions like even the finance minister..

Mosh1:

We are all students of history but i need to educate you more.You asked what did Yorubas have that Igbos have not bested.Well, i will list some of the things Yoruba have that your ppl don`t.
1.History( we bested everyone in this aspect).We are the first in almost everything (pace setters) and we are still leading (most sophisticated Nigerians).So you can`t take that from us.
2.Nobel Laureate(No one have bested Soyinka up to this moment)
3.Grammy (4 different Yorubas have won it though they don`t reside here).No Igbo have ever won it either home or abroad.
4.Education( we are still the best) How could you deceive yourself with past 4 years WAEC record.Did you 4get tertiary institutions and other aspects of education.
5.Politics.Mind you we did not rule Nigeria once but twice(Obasanjo and Shonekan) and for the records,we have won presidential election twice (Abiola and Obasanjo).Igbo man have never won Presidential election in Nigeria.
I will be back for u......on duty presently.

Those who kill by sword, shall die by sword!

People who kill strangers or visitors in their land shall live to see their children kill each other for no reason!

Those who cause others to weep, shall weep for no reason!

Those who bring tears to innocent people shall continually live in tears!

Northerners have made Igbos to weep so much in the past, and now karma is paying them back with Boko Haram.

So many innocent Igbos who love northerners and decided to live in northern lands were killed by northerners for no reason aside religious fanatism and national politics[b][/b]and you think God is sleeping?

Boko Haram is a spiritual reward and will never stop until there is a spiritual cleansing of the north.

The north must come out and ask for forgiveness and repent of their evil ways to have peace return to their land.

No military action will stop Boko Haram!

splashbaby:
Silly nonsense. Igbos false feeling of superiority over any tribes in Nigeria remains their greatest weakness. It's suicidal to dominate people who are better than you.

Igbos have never won any war they start, instead they possess impeccable records of failures when they seek to dominate others.

Biafra is always dead on arrival, Igbos are well known trouble makers brandishing the secessionist agenda the moment they hold the shortest end of the stick in any arrangement.

The truth is they should not be taken serious because they cannot decide the fate of Nigerians, we will always decide their fate...children of cowards have no say in Nigeria because betraying the Nigerian state is toga that will brand you as traitors.

kraftykc:


No he wasn't. He actually stopped the coup in Lagos, seeing as was also listed to be killed by the coup plotters. Another thing you don't know is that Ojukwu stopped it in the East too. So these are the men who saved Nigeria then; Ojukwu and Ironsi.

That said, I liked to ask what Sardauna and T. Balewa did when Igbos were butchered in the streets of Kano in 1953? You see Northern Nigeria keeps shouting about their leaders who were killed while Igbos keep asking who asking why their brothers were also killed and those leaders did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to stop it. In fact Sardauna actually made remarks which may have fuelled the crisis further. So for all you who clamor for heads to roll remember the 5 thousand that did in Kano and the North went soundly to sleep after.
