When Ojukwu rose to declare the freedom of his people from the British concocted country called Nigeria, some said he was stupid When Ojukwu told them that these people would seek to kill and dominate his people, they didn't understand When Ojukwu was fighting to liberate his people from the clutches of darkness, they called him unprintable names Today, all Ojukwu warned about has come to pass What Ojukwu saw 50 years ago, some needed Ruga to start seeing today. 2 Likes |

kingzizzy: Typical BS from flatinoes. I wonder what he saw when his homie was in power and intent on making the country, one? He didn't declare freedom for his people then and in fact, when adaka boro seeks to balkanize the country, this same pseudo-soothsayer make certain to bring the rebellion down. |

T9ksy: Stop talking nonsense. When Ironsi was in power there was no wholesale killing of people. The circumstances that informed Ojukwu's decision to declare the independence of his people were not manifest in 6 months Ironsi was in power Your statement about Isaac Boro is hypocritical. There are many people who think that the federal government was right to fight Ojukwu for declaring secession. The same people now find issue with the federal Government fighting Adaka Boro for declaring the same thing! Why the hypocrisy? So it is Ojukwu that is good to fight but not Adaka Boro? Get sense man nobody is a fool here 6 Likes 1 Share |

kingzizzy: Of course, there was no killings when your homie was in power......yeye dey smell. When your homeboy unilaterally promulgate the obnoxious and gratuitous unification decree, there was riots in the north whereby many of kinsmen were slaughtered in protest. Ojukwu didn't conceive biafra then o rather he was still a great believer in One nigeria however few months later oncw ironsi has been depatched to the great beyond, viola Ojukwu start seeing visions of biafra. Abeg STFU! If it was okay for the federal govt of (eastern) nigeria to fight adaka boro for declaring secession THEN it ought to equally okay for the same federal govt of (Northern) Nigeria to squash Ojukwu's intransigence. 1 Like |

T9ksy: All of this is the nonsense the Lagos/Ibadan 'kpako' media have been spewing for years and has long been done away with. Every military regime in the world rules by decree, that's how they roll, Ironsi no exception. No matter how obnoxious anyone thinks decree 34 was, it was always a temporary thing that would have been jettisoned when democracy returned. It is however amazing that people were angry and rioting because of decree 34 but when subsequent military governments, such as that of Gowon, enacted far worse decrees that balkanized Nigeria into 12 states, took away resource control and fiscal federation, the same people were very welcoming. It then shows that decree 34 was not the problem, the problem was that it was an Igbo man who enacted it. Had Ironsi been a Northerner, they would not have found decree 34 so obnoxious. Ojukwu was a long time firm believer in 'one Nigeria'. Despite the wholesale senseless killings of his people, Ojukwu still went to Aburi to discuss keeping Nigeria one. It was when the federal government of Gowon reneged on that agreement that Ojukwu realised that there was a blatant attempt by the Northerners to dominate everyone and declared Biafra to protect his people from 'Islamisation and Fulanization' Point of correction, it was the federal government that fought Isaac Boro, not the government of Eastern Nigeria. The Nigerian military is under the control of the federal government. 5 Likes |

kingzizzy: Were we ever One? Hell no! Both Sardunna and Awo were vehemently against one Nigeria except you covetous folks. Zik and his people were the only ones singing the discordant song of "One Nigeria, One Africa. See ibo logic,,,,you went in there and murdered other regional leaders in the middle of the night, not sparing their wives as well then turned round and say we MUST be united ‘cause you guys have finally taken over the govt with guns we purchased for you to protect us from external forces. After killing our fathers, uncles and brothers you want to be in charge of our future. Of course, northerners (most especially) rioted as they have made it known unequivocally that they do not want one Nigeria with you greedy folks but Ironsi went ahead regardless. The north would not promulgate decree 34 as they were against the notion of one united nigeria. The federal govt that fought Ojukwu was headed and controlled by northerners whilst the federal govt that fought Adaka boro was headed and also controlled by the ibos. |

T9ksy: Let's just for the sake of argument assume that Zik and the Igbos wanted one united Nigeria and Awo and the Sarduana did not want this. Why then did they join Igbos in one united Nigeria? Why was it that Awo and Sarduana were against one Nigeria yet Awo led the Western Region delegates while Sarduana led the Northern delegation to London for the 1958 constitutional conference that ushered in independence in 1960? Or did Zik put a gun to their head and force them to be part of Nigeria? See ibo logic,,,,you went in there and murdered other regional leaders in the middle of the night, not sparing their wives as well then turned round and say we MUST be united ‘cause you guys have finally taken over the govt with guns we purchased for you to protect us from external forces. After killing our fathers, uncles and brothers you want to be in charge of our future. That's the nature of military coups, there are usually casualties and the leaders are usually from the same section of the country. It's been like that all over Africa and severally in Nigeria Of course, northerners (most especially) rioted as they have made it known unequivocally that they do not want one Nigeria with you greedy folks but Ironsi went ahead regardless. Go and google Gowons decree 14 of 1967. If you think Ironsi's decree 34 of 1966 was bad, Gowons decree 14 was a hundred times worse. Gowons decree shredded the 4 Regions, replaced them with 12 weak states, stripped the regions of resource control. Yet it well accepted by Nigerians. The hypocrisy in Nigeria is too much. When an Igbo man does something he is criminalised, but when a Northerner does the same or even worse, he is well accepted They said Igbos conducted a coup and killed the leaders of other Regions, but when the Northerners did the same thing on a far worse scale 6 months later, nobody complained They said that Ironsi introduced decree 34 that destroyed Nigeria, but a year later when Gowon introduced decree 14 , which was a hundred times worse, nobody complained They said that Ironsi and Ojukwu stopped Adaka Boro from seceding, but when Gowon was trying to stop Ojukwu from seceding, nobody complained When it is an Igbo man they will complain to the high heavens, when a Northerner does the same or worse, they will accept and never complain I laugh in Fufulde 4 Likes |

kingzizzy: Na who born zik to force the Sardunna into One Nigeria ? In fact, the deal was as long as the Sardunna gets the jltimate power rlse he was not prepated to be one with southern infidels. This was the reason why Dr. Zik willingly went into coalition euith the north only to be seconded to mete Grade II tea cher- the sardunna couldn't give a rat"s a.r.$e about nigeria hence why he sent his monion to lagos whilst he stayed behind to see to the interest of his people. Everyone agreed that if there must be a Nigeria then it will have to regional but no sooner had the ibo seized power through the back door and he assumed he can only rule the rest of us as one single entity. This was after their boys in khaki had snuffed the lives out of those we chose to speak up for us. Now the ibo man wants to look out for my interest. 1 Like |

kingzizzy: Before Ojukwu, who was hindered by a mental illness syndrome, West and North had raised points to put secession and referendun in constitution. Ibos shut it down and said those people were unpatriotic. Ojukwu's vision was late. 2 Likes 1 Share |
