I just love the "Aburi Accord " when Ojukwu speak they have no option but to say ok ok ok!!! Ojukwu also give safe passage to northerners and anyone who wants to join the federal side. What a kind heart. The lies has been busted and prove beyond every reasonable doubt that civilians fed the Biafran troops. One question for those who still want One Nigeria to continue, What is the reason that makes you people to insist on one Nigeria? Igbos says they are being marginalized and like a 3rd citizen in thier Fathers Land. Apart from rebuffing thier claim of being Marginalize , just point out the reason you guys still want One Nigeria. #SayNoToViolence 4 Likes |

The Big question still lingers? Why did Gowon fail to adhere to the ABURI ACCORD? This could have prevented the needless war but the man stubbornly tore the papers and declared war on Biafrans. Posterity will always judge him! 7 Likes |

Rotimi47: Reasoning has to do with processing data through one's mental seive (which could be affected by prejudice, knowledge or even natural aptitude ); Comprehension on the other hand deals largely with intelligence. An illiterate can comprehend, but reason differently. Any person who can't comprehend simple things needs serious intervention. God help you!! 2 Likes |

ideykwum:Your an illiterate! Reasoning having to do with data processing! You simply show that you're an illiterate. Comprehension as used by you means taken in what you read but reasoning means your ability to see things beyond what you read.

ideykwum:Reasoning - The action of thinking about something in a logical sensible way in order to form a conclusion or judgement. You need to get a dictionary if you don't understand a word or the way it is used; You don't have to be a shame to do so because illiterates are still humans. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Rotimi47: Who should I believe his write up an Ademoyega's. Personal. Account or third party account? It is on record that Ademoyega remains the only surving Major of the 5dat led d coup after the war! And his account therefore should serve as a case of an index personality of the 1966 coup! So someone that led the coup said he did so himself in his book, but you want me to believe otherwise because some conspiracy theorists have distorted facts to suit there lies and feed some gullibles! Also note that Major Onwuatuegwu also survived the war but he was quietly eliminated by the Federal troops to prevent him from providing a personal account of the coup! Ademoyega remained in prison until 1986 before he was released by then the lies of the Igbo ochestrated coup had saturated the nigerian info-space! Thank God today the lies are been bursted day after day! 4 Likes |

Oyewole Said " they were called after the plot and briefed ". I believe he being an insider who also fought on the biafran side and survived to this day know alot about the coup but some people are free to believe what they want to believe. 5 Likes |

Jobneeded12:why would an igbo man hate when after the war he has made a success of himself? And about being envious? Of what precisely? What has your tribe achieved that the igbo man hasn't surpassed or reached relatively? It baffles me when people tag igbos as being envious and hateful when they are kneck deep in their areas of endeavours........read the history and stop drawing conclusions from what your relatives have told you!! They might have been relegated by an igbo man probably in their work place,school or homes..........how do you define an igbo man as a tribalist when he doesn't even recognise his fellow igbo as an igbo man when other tribes do so through their language and actions?

yellowsun: n August 1965, three officers, Major Okafor, Major Ifeajuna and Captain Oji who were already dissatisfied with political developments in the Federation and the impact of these developments on the Army, held series of discussions between them about the matter and set about the task of searching for other officers who held views similar to their own and who could, eventually, be trusted to join them in the enterprise of staging a military coup d'Etat. Nzeogwu and ADemoyega were the last two to be recruited in to the coup around November 1965 so how then could they have been the leaders of the coup? The fact of the matter was that the main ringleaders of the coup were ibos who then went on to murder all non-ibo politicians and military personnels from other regions bar one Lt. Col Unegbe. All the other ibo politicians and military guys were coincidentally not killed including Ironsi the topmost military guy who could scuppered the coup and in actual fact did foiled the coup. Nice try, guys. 4 Likes |

T8ksy: From your source it is obvious you are quoting some of the. Ochestrated publications of our conspiracy theorist! I repeat Maj. Ademoyega wrote a book himself and said he led the 1966 coup alongside Nzeogwu but you want me to believe an account written by a third party! LMWKMD Majors Ademoyega and Onwuatuegwu survived the war but the federal troops quickly eliminated the latter at Orlu and Ademoyega incacirated in far away Maiduguri prison until 1986 simply to ensure that no index participant of the 1966 coup countered whatever lie the Millitary ochestrated writers will write about the coup! Thank God Ademoyega wrote his book "why we struck" to debunk the lies though it was already late 'cos the lies such as the one you posted had already saturated the info-space of the country! Go grab a copy, read and get the facts from first hand reporter not from an influenced third party writer!! |

Old boy, abeg leave that matter for Mathias, jo. It was a Police Special branch report following their investigation into the planning of the coup. Nzeogwu it was who recruited Ademoyega around November but Nzeogwu himself was recruited by ANuforo, so how then can Ademoyega be a ringleader in a coup that was already ongoing long before his involvement? 3 Likes |

Rotimi47: The trial and subsequent imprisonment of Awolowo has been cited as one of the reasons for the Nzeogwu coup, because if showed for the first how Tafawa Balewa was able to take control of the western instruments of power through the back door,and of course Awo' reaction that resulted in jail time. Another vital statistic often lost by those bent on building a larger Igbo conspiracy theory was that Igbos provided most of the officer class of the army at that time. Just by numerical numbers, more Igbo officers would be involved in just about anything going on in the army at that time. Prove me wrong if you can. Conversely, we have more northern officers in the army today, and have we always described many of their coups as northern coup? Think about it. 1 Like |
