janellemonae: America can't seem to make up their mind as to how they want to relate to Nigeria. One day, they refuse selling weapons to us and discourage any other nation that wants to, the next day they say they are now open to selling to us, that we are their friends. We ask them for ebola drug since they claimed they had it, they refuse, giving flimsy reasons. When we overcame ebola, they came smiling and saying that it was with their support that we achieved to feat. Then this oil stuff? America is giving a new meaning to the word "friendship". |

nduchucks: Per the bolded, I could not believe that any Nigerian with limited education can even quote the crap in the above post. Anyway, we are talking about Nigeria, are we not? One wonders who was Mr. Ukpabia Asika the then administrator of east central state. There is doubt Biafra has driven most Nigerians to the state of nincompoop. Again, Gowon introduced the unitary government in Nigeria by abrogating the regional system of government with quasi-independence and replaced it with state format without quasi-independence. Gowon had no such power to mess with eastern region which did not recognize his usurpation of power hence the civil war. 1 Like |

TonyeBarcanista: Isn't it ironic, or even hypocritical, that the people who are fighting for the right to self determination should at the same time be so violently opposed to another fighting for the same right as they are? They want their Biafra, great! But why insist on taking SS with you? Doesn't SS have the right to choose different? I have often observed on this forum, quite surprisingly, that the passion with which pro-Biafrans insist on including SS in their Biafra is even more than that they put into fighting for Biafra itself.

Maser:You're wrong. Before the Civil War started on July 6 1967, Gowon created 12 on May 27 1967. The defunct Eastern Region which Ojukwu was Governor of was split into East Central, South Eastern and Rivers states. By implication, Ojukwu was Governor of just the East Central State till he was dismissed and the state came under Ukpabi Asika as the Administrator. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The so-called Ijaw are "Boat People" and this term has ominous connotation. The tern, Ijaw, was derived from Portuguese name for those living by the River Banks. 2 Likes 1 Share |

nduchucks: You really dropped the ball with such ignorant rant. The bolded is another fallacy seemed to be making dubious rounds. There was a botched coup in July 29, 1966 and participants did not have total control of country except northern region. One of the regional powers insisted that legally established hierarchy must be followed since the whereabouts of head of the state is not known hence Ojukwu vehemently recommended that 2ic should be supreme head of state of Nigeria. Besides, Gowon was an inferior or junior officers to more than fours officers. It was abomination to have an inferior officer dictate to his superiors. Since most Nigerians accepted such idiocy, Nigeria has never seen a bright light and will never see one in future. 4 Likes |

Awoofawo: Per the bolded, most Nigerians have tendency to regurgitate craps without embarking on simple rudimentary research. I urge you to expose the meaning of the term -unitary as it applies to governance. During the Ironsi's era, there were regional system of government where regions still enjoy certain level of autonomous powers as under Tafawa Balewa. Such autonomous entity to the regions was destroyed by the idiotic state creation by Gowon when states did no longer enjoy the autonomous entity under the premier or even regional military administrators. Ojukwu's refusal to accept Gowon as head of state is such autonomous privilege enjoyed by the regions. 2 Likes |

OrlandoOwoh: Per the bolded, this is another ill-informed statement. Again, Gowon had no such powers to abrogate eastern region. It takes constitutional amendment to do such thing. In addition, eastern region did not recognize Gowon as anything other than leader of coup plotters of July 29, 1966. When Gowon foolishly divided Nigeria into 12 states, he also appointed military, police and civilian administrators which Asika was for east central state. Gowon ordered the administrators to report their posts immediately to state governance duties. It must be recall that those jokers appointed to take charge of the so-called states in eastern region the did not show up to their post until after civil war. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Dedetwo: You are still wrong in your assumption/assertion! If Ironsi didn't introduce Unitary System into the country political equation, Gowon wouldn't have the base to justify retaining it. In fact the counter-coup night not had happened. Ironsi killed the regional system with that sectional promoting policy and given Gowon the ammunition to dismantle it eventually! Further more, creating more state by Gowon was mostly concerned with weakening Ojuwku hold on important strategical sites of military significance, in addition to solidifing his hold on the government at the center and promote the realization of northern agenda which was revenge for murdered of northern elites in the first coup! Please don't twisted history! If the first coup didn't happened, if Ironsi didn't introduced Unitary and handed the issues surrounding the calls for the convict and persecution of Nzeowu and co with kid-gloves, maybe and maybe Nigeria wouldn't be the sh!thole it's now?! And lastly, you folks should equally stop playing blame game and marginalization, we are tire of hearing that boring music, play us something more entertaining and engaging biko ![]() Please ![]() 5 Likes |

OrlandoOwoh: Per the bolded, it concluded you are clueless. Even the military rules with decrees, it does not loose sight of constitutional provisions. For the sake of posterity, Ojukwu did not order for the arrest of anybody in eastern region. It would be act of daftness to arrest people of the region at that particular time. The facts remains that Gowon, Yari.ba, Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri and rest of them from northern region hoodwinked the some gullible southerners to such idiotic fallacy of "One-Nigeria". The essence of the civil war simply indicated that Gowon was fishing in troubled waters when he foolishly abrogated regionalism in Nigeria replaced with unitary system in creation of states. 2 Likes |

Awoofawo: Pease do additional research or read more books you will certainly know who was the military administrator of your region during Ironsi era. If you have such a person as a military governor of your region, then you can make the call. Ironsi had no intention in staying in power more the time it required to stabilize the country and call for elections. He just simple appointed military administrators to the regions while leaving the roles of civilian governors, premiers and regional houses of assembly as advisory. Though there was supreme military council, the mechanics of federal government were still as usual at the center with the central legislature as mere advisory board. Human beings have instinct destructive tendencies in them especially when things are not going their way. The loud noises about alleged Irons’s introduction of unitary government came from those who had ulterior motives or have shameful skeleton in their cupboards. |
