Nothing like fanning the embers of war in relaying history for those who didn't know about it

Are you relying on history to make amends & correct the past & forge ahead in unity & peace or you're digging up old wounds to see more about who is your enemy or foes. Its depends on what you want from History

Why are you lots denying the stubborn history facts?

It depends on what you want from relying the so called "facts". Is it meant to be ed, make amends & forge ahead or to continue licking your wounds & dragging your souls backwards

Foiled? Who got killed in your so called foiled coup?

If the coup was successful, which of the coup plotters took over power?

Who benefited from the coup, who became the head of state?

How do you expect the victims to move on when the villains are still living in denial of the event

Funniest thing is that the middle belt participated in the pogroms with much zeal and the region witnessed the highest volunteers to the federal forces.


Awolowo tried getting the middle belt to leave the north but they much wanted to be under northern Nigeria.

The balkanization of each three regions at independence was the main agenda by each separate region.

The Sarduna teamed up with Zik to ensure the of western Region was duly balkanized. The Yorubas did not oppose this move and the process to create Midwestern region sailed peacefully in the Yoruba dominated Regional House in Ibadan.

Awolowo then ed the agitation for both a separate region for the NE and also MB people but their response was lukewarm.

In the old eastern region agitation for COR region was the loudest by the so-called minorities as far back as 1951 when eastern region was created. The regional house in Enugu that was dominated by the ibos did not borrow a leaf from the Yoruba dominated house in Ibadan and suppressed all moves by minority reps to call for a referendum to leave the old Eastern region.

It's at this time that the Sarduna coined the phrase "one north" which was meant to see northern Nigeria as sacrosanct and indivisble.

The minorities of the eastern region found a loophole in getting a referendum to leave Eastern Nigeria by approaching the federal house. They got the of both the Sarduna and Akintola to their bid alongside MPs from the newly created Midwestern region.

It's at this point that it dawned to Zik that the old eastern region will be reduced to its current SE size and makeup that they then conspired to halt the federal parliament convening from a Christmas break to look into and a motion calling for a referendum for the creation of the Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers region. Their officers in the military were then deployed to thwart the house from convening but to end regionalism all together.


This is the reason for Jan 15 coup and it had nothing to do with the political crisis in the western region or freeing Awo .

Who benefited from the coup, who became the head of state?

You still can’t tell us any of the January 15 coup plotters that successfully seized power? 🤷

Just name their names nau

Did your people fight war?

What's your point?

Thank GOD Almighty for social media. Una think say na those days wey una dey churn out all manners of things against the Igboman.

Oga, good luck as continue to dwell in the past.

The good aspects of the whole thing is that Chukwuma 'Kaduna' Nzeogwu is from Delta State, in Niger Delta Region. This Region has been feeding Nigeria since 1960 till date.
Ideally since you still want to cling to the past, you should have as well stop eating fat from the resources of that region & face front.
But you want to continue to eat fat of their resources but still claiming of some past bitterness & some funny sense of entitlement.. Oga e make sense to you?

You don't know how evil he, his sponsors, and his cohorts are. Their pursuit is to see the north at war with the southeast. They want to see the southsouth at war with the southeast too.

The current Ohanaeze presidency drove a huge spear through their hearts. They are exploring all other options now to ensure that the hatred against the Igboman continues.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅

So which one are you? The victim? The villian?

Tell us.

You guys are expecting the north to go to the streets against the Igboman? Naaaaaa.

You expect another pogrom against the igbos? Naaaaaa.

All una efforts will be in vain

So your people were the victims or the villains?
Which one were they?

Did the victims ask you to speak for them?

Did the villains as you to speak for them?

What's is it you want to achieve?

You will ask questions tired

Elusive001:



You claimed that they killed northerners. Northerners are calm over it, yet you are running mad about it. You guys are bending over backwards and leaving no stones unturned in your bid to see that Igbos have issues with your masters. You guys do the same with the S/S. S/S you hate deeply. You even fought against the only opportunity they have ever had to rule the country. You ed your masters/gods against an S/S man.

Despicable.

Helinues respond to this nahhh

KEVIND:

Nah wah.

Radio Biafra and several Ibo authors have been pushing a revisionist history since the end of the war that has made the average Ibo hate his fellow Nigerian.


You can not now say we should forget history when you have been twisting it to instil hatred amongst your people on other Nigerians.


The whole Biafran agitation won't be happening today of the truth was not set straight .

But since Gowon wanted to sacrifice justice and truth for your reintegration, he ensured that those who were in the know never documented or spoke of what truly transpired.

I will let you know that if the atrocities committed by your Biafran soldiers and civilians alike on the Midwest and minorities trapped in Biafra, no one would have accommodated you in their midst after the war ended.


Today, the greatest tragedy of that war was the sufferings and genocide committed on the minority people by mostly the Biafran occupiers
.

KEVIND:

It depends on what you want from relying the so called "facts". Is it meant to be ed, make amends & forge ahead or to continue licking your wounds & dragging your

Biafran agitation today is the epitome of not abiding by the cardinal rule of not reflecting on history.

You ignore it and are doomed to repeat it.

mrvitalis:
My favorite thing about this talk of the 1960s is how the media tries to hide the fact that the problem that lead to the coup started in South West... Fight between Akintola and Awolowo

Lmao

And to settle that problem between Akintola and Awo, Igbo soldiers decided to kill all the military and political and military leaders of all other regions and spare theirs? You guys are dense beyond belief.

Typing:



Yoruba man claiming to be a middle belter. This Tinubu Government and propaganda are like Police and #20

Talking about living rent free in your head.

AntiZikist:

As you can see, they are trying to justify the murder of the Sarduna.


They will tell you Akintola was killed because he was responsible for the crisis in the then western Region and defend kllling Okotiebo for being corrupt .


But what of the PM? Why did they kill him?

Or what of the non Ibo officers in the army ? Where they also corrupt, tyrannical and pushing an ethnic religious agenda ?

They like fooling themselves. The 4 most senior government officials were Balewa (North), Zik (igbo), Ironsi (igbo), and Orizu (igbo). The only one that was killed? The only non Igbo.

KEVIND:


One good thing about war is that whether you're winning or losing, everyone is bound to suffer one way or the other. So fanning the embers of war through divisive comments will not do any one any good if it starts.

I've never read anywhere Germans started talking about fanning embers of war whenever people revisited the Nazi atrocities. Buy you guys always feel gittery anytime that selective annihilation of leaders of other regions is being talked about.

helinues:


You will ask questions tired

Which one be una?

Victims?

Villains?

Did the victims ask your people to speak on their behalf or against the Villains?

Did the Villains ask your people to speak for them or against the victims?

What's your own?

Why are you miserable?

Why are you worked up?

Lagos-Ibadan express media keeps talking about only the Jan 1966 coup and its plotters.

There were many more coups. I’ll try to name them.

1. Jan 1966
2. July 1966 (counter coup)
3. July 1975
4. February 1976 (failed coup)
5. December 1983
6. August 1985
7. April 1990 (failed coup)
8. August 1993

Of all these coups, only the Jan 1966 coup was carried out by Ibo officers, (not only ibo officers were involved). This same coup was foiled by another Ibo officer. All other coups and attempts were carried out by majorly non- Ibo people. No other Ibo man had ruled as military or civilian leader since the first military coup in Nigeria.

Let’s assume the leader (Aguiyi Ironsi) in 1966 Jan coup made some government decisions that were not good, why was it difficult for successive governments (military and civilian) to return to what it was before the Jan 1966 coup. That government barely lasted 6 months before it was taken down by another coup.

All Nigerian leaders past and present failed. If the leaders were doing so good for the people, the first coup wouldn’t have happened. There’s always been injustice in Nigeria and that’s the major problem we’ve always had.

Fact

Ochomastel:
Observe how it's JUST one particular region that are so hell bent on gaslighting and goading the North into the Igbophobic rhetorics, go on X and see them chirping away stale propagandas to fuel emotions...thankfully the Middle belt have seen through their deceit.

one section indeed

mrvitalis:

None of the planners the most senior military officers took over

so u Igbos killed all senior officers before an Igbo man cos u know d most senior officer will always b made d head

U will forever be punished

KEVIND:

Are you relying on history to make amends & correct the past & forge ahead in unity & peace or you're digging up old wounds to see more about who is your enemy or foes. Its depends on what you want from History

if u Igbos don't own up to your mistake then nobody can forge ahead

U hurt someone n u have never apologize n realize your mistake n u are telling him to move on n play with u normal

Na madness b dat
