https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfHzgND_7Js Lt. Colonel Chukwuemeka Ojukwu: "The East Is At The Crossroads" | Prelude to Biafra | May 1967. Friday, May 26th 1967. Footage of Lt. Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu, the Military Governor of the Eastern Region of Nigeria, giving a speech before the Eastern Region's Consultative Assembly and its Advisory Committee of Chiefs and Elders. Themed "The East is at the Crossroads", Ojukwu asserted that the Muslim-dominated Northern Region was bent on imposing a feudal order on Nigeria and that the preponderantly Igbo Eastern Region had two choices: The first was to submit to domination by the North. and the second was to ensure "the survival of our people by asserting our autonomy." Transcript of Ojukwu's remarks in the footage: "Our meeting today is very crucial. The east is at the crossroads. Since our last meeting everything possible has been done by the enemies of east to escalate the crisis in an attempt to bring about the collapse of this region. They have failed, and will continue to fail. In 1953 (sic - 1947) the late Sir Abubakar Tafewa Balewa, in a speech in the Legislative Council, said: 'Since the amalgamation of the southern and northern provinces in 1914, Nigeria has existed as one country only on paper. It is still far from being united. The country is inhabited by peoples and tribes who speak different languages; who have different religions; different customs and traditions; and entirely different historical backgrounds, and their way of life, and who have also gained different stages of development. We do not want our southern neighbours to interfere in our development. But I should like to make it clear to you that if the British quitted Nigeria now at this stage the Northern people would continue their interrupted conquest to the sea.' (*) Interrupted conquest. That has always been the Northern intention. Thank God that the East has now awakened to its responsibilities, and with that awakening that ambitious dream will never be fulfilled in this country." (*) Tafawa Balewa's words are recorded in several sources including "Legislative Council Debates", First Session, March 24, 1947, p. 212. After the meeting, Ojukwu was given a unanimous mandate by the Consultative Assembly to pull out of the Federation of Nigeria "at an early practicable date" by declaring the Eastern Region, "a free, sovereign and independent state by the name and title of the Republic of Biafra." Source: Personal Collection. Note: The following day, Lt. Colonel Yakubu Gowon, the Military Head of State who had succeeded Major General J.T.U. Aguiyi-Ironsi after the "counter-coup" of July 1966, made a broadcast by announcing a State of Emergency and promulgating the division of Nigeria into 12 states. On May 30th, Lt. Colonel Ojukwu formally declared the secession of the Eastern Region from Nigeria. The date was chosen to mark the anniversary of the first of a series of anti-Igbo & Eastern Pogroms in the Northern Region. The first shots of what would become a civil war would occur on July 6th 1967. Starting as what Gowon, now promoted to Major General, would describe as a "Police Action", the conflict would be upgraded to one of "Total War" after the invasion of the Mid Western State by Biafran Military Forces on August 9th. |

Lies Belewa never said that! I have no problem with any ipob spreading propaganda on Nairaland. But pls you don't have to lie. Allow our heroes to rest in peace... Stop trying to paint them black just because you want to energize your fellowers. Igbos murderd this man and yet you don't want him to rest. Concocting fake history won't give you Biafra. Trying to paint Tafawa belewa black won't give you Biafra. I will always be here to expose your lies and fallacy 4 Likes 1 Share |

Arrewa:Your lying Taqqiya way will not work on this one. Despite your illiteracy, you still have it in your head that you are dealing with cow rearers like you. Biafraland is your last line of idiocy. We are more intelligent that you cow brains. You can never penetrate our land. Impossible!! Biafraland is not yorubaland nor hausaland that you conquered. You will meet your waterloo in Biafra. Tafawa Balewa's words are recorded in several sources including "Legislative Council Debates", First Session, March 24, 1947, p. 212. |

Arrewa: Scroll this book to page 98, and see where your hero balewa made the statement of conquering the south to the sea. A continuation of the pipe dream of your other hero called Othman Danfodio. The name of the book is "Nigerian Political Parties: Power in an Emergent African Nation" https://books.google.fr/books?id=xD7WCgAAQBAJ&lpg=PA98&ots=OIvlqEQden&dq=nigeria%20Legislative%20Council%20Debates%22%2C%20First%20Session%2C%20March%2024%2C%201947%2C%20p.%20212.&pg=PA98#v=onepage&q=nigeria%20Legislative%20Council%20Debates%22,%20First%20Session,%20March%2024,%201947,%20p.%20212.&f=false |

This video evidence is already going viral since morning today so that the Biafran efulefus will listen to it and learn. Your people's terrorism pipe dream have come to an end, scuttled by Biafrans. Soon, the hausa people will rise up and chase all of you away from their land. Did you hear what the middle belt did today? Get ready to continue with your migration to another foreign land. |

AburiBiafra: As I read the above post, one the things that stood tall is the comment in red. Many jackasses have floated the silly idea that LtCol Ojukwu did not consult with the elders of eastern region, hence, Eastern Region's Consultative Assembly and its Advisory Committee of Chiefs and Elders. 1 Like |

“The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the South as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have control over their future”~ Sir Ahmadu Bello, Parrot Newspaper, 12th October, 1960 |
