The Killing of Igbos has been happening in Nigeria, even in colonial times. Examples are the 1945 Jos massacre and the 1953 Kano massacre. But the straw that broke the Camels back was the massacre of 1966. There was mass killings of Easterners, mainly Igbos, all over Nigeria, particularly in the North. Millions of Igbos headed back the East in fear of their lives. The Military Governor of the Eastern Region, Lt Col Ojukwu, was furious at head of the Military Government, Lt Col Gowon, for doing nothing as thousands of Igbos were killed. Many Eastern groups approached Ojukwu and asked him to declare the Eastern Region a seperate country in the face of genocide. Ojukwu refuses and opts to meet Gowon

The Military President of Ghana, General Ankrah, hosts Gowon and Ojukwu in his Hilltop mansion in Aburi, Ghana in January 1967 . Ojukwu and Gowon negotiate for two days, reach an agreement, which both men signed in front of General Ankrah. One of the points of the agreement was that Gowon would not change the structural arrangement of Nigeria during the period of Military rule. When they return home, Gowon starts to deny the agreement, and completely breaks the agreement with Decree 14, which abolished all four Regions, and created 12 new states, changing the structural arrangement of Nigeria

In retaliation, Ojukwu declares the Eastern Region as Republic of Biafra. Gowon declares war, which leads to a three year armed conflict.

The rest is history

Nice summary

y did Igbos kill other people's leaders n leave their own?

This is what you get when you listen to Radio Biafra..

Concocted rubbish & jargons..

All this lies from the three major tribes in Nigeria should Stop, when the British left, the Hausa/Fulani, the Yorubas and Igbos where jostling for the control of the country, when the Igbos outsmarted the rest in a coup, the Yorba and Hausa/Fulani will have non of it,The first winners,the Igbos took charge and the taunting of the northern part of Nigeria by Igbos living there added salt to injury, When it was clear that Nigeria was not achievable, The Igbos restrategised to take the eastern region, Gowon played a fast one by creating States, defeating the plans of the Igbos to get a chunk of the pie, this led to the unfortunate ware, that is why Igbos till today Will never agree to a bafra that does not comprise the old dismantled eastern region,

U better learn something that will improve your life not one fallacy...

God bless u


The case now become first no dey pain, na Igbos do am first but now na dem cry

After the British left, it caused a power vacuum.

There became a question over who will take the throne now that the king is dead.

In the end the Northerners were better organized and more strategic, so they ended up winning the power struggle.

Igbos refused to accept their loss and their place in the pecking order and this is what led to the civil war.

Counterigbolies:

Why were people killing Igbos since 1945 and leaving their own?

any evidence?

List the names of all those killed in the Jan 1966 Coup and list the names of their killers next to them
then let us analyse the list together

Rubbish as usual.

The only reason Ojukwu declared Biafra was because Gowon created states out of the old yeast. The minority provinces had been clamouring since 1953 to leave the yeast .They got a break through in the closing months of 1965 and had secured from MPs from the north, western and Midwestern region to have their region created out of the yeast. The Federal House went on break for the New Year and was meant to convene in late January to address the matter for the creation of Calabar -Ogoja-Rivers region. That was when your Ibo officers working with strict instructions and orders from Zik and his minions in Enugu to eliminate all regional heads and the PM who had given their blessings and to the creation of COR region.

To ensure the matter was never revisited , the buffon Ironsi abolished regionalism and supplanted himself with a handful of Zikist loyalists as the new powerful centrist dictatorship of the land.

The Jan 15 coup was meant to prevent the creation of COR region out of the yeast.


When Gowon later became HoS, he then attended to this long held grieviance by the so-called minority people trapped in the British created strative colonial estate known as Eastern Nigeria. 2 states -Old Rivers (comprising of present day Rivers and Bayelsa) and Old Cross River (Akwa Ibom and present day Cross River) were created by a special decree by Gowon.

It's at this very point that Ojukwu declared Biafra and dragged the already Ibo weary minorities into his useless Biafra.

This is the summation of the greed and foolishness that saw to the first bloody and senseless coup and Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra.

It was all down to cornering the newly discovered oil wells in minority lprovinces and their lands.

To prove this is the real cause of the war, we still see you IPOB goats recycling the greedy ambitions of your war generation till this day by dragging the entire SS into your miserable failed Biafra 2.0.

Fool, Ojukwu and his fellow pyschopaths in Enugu did not give a rats ass about Ibo lives . It was the oil they were interested in and nothing else that's why Ojukwu oversaw the man made famine that saw to 3 million of his fellow ibos starved to death in a bid to gain global sympathy and .

Oil and SS lands is what choke your ojukwu and his fellow Ibo land grabbers

The post made me laugh.
The iIIitracy of lgb0s is shown in their lack of knowledge about basics.
1945 is called "Jos Riot" not "massacre".
1953 was targeted at Yoruba in Kano, it was more of North vs South crises.
The south wants independence while the north objected and even wanted secession, today, lgb0s are claiming victims as usual.
If u lots had stayed in your homes, wouId there be kiIIings of lgb0s anywhere?

Ignore the foolish idiot IPOB clown.


See my post above for why ibos carried out the coup of Jan 15 and why they later declared Biafra.


You will now see why they are still hell bent on annexing SS till this very moment.

I haven't seen a crop of people hell bent on changing history to suit them

The soldiers that killed politicians during the first coup were arrested, and most of them killed as of today.

How many people who killed anyone looking like Igbo- children, women, and older people were arrested, prosecuted, and punished by Gowon?

What of the tens of thousands of minority people that were murdered , raped and even eaten by your Biafran soldiers ?

The problem I have with this Ibo victimhood nonesense is that it seeks to absolve ibos of their evil acts and hide their atrocities committed on others.

You were no victims .

The real victims are those murdered in cold blood on Jan 15 and the minorities in the old eastern region and Midwest.

The minorities sufferings have been relegated to the dustbin of history because of the unnecessary lies and noise from Ibo victimhood crooners.

This is how Jews are screaming victims to obfuscate their history of atrocities in Weimar and the Soviet Union prior to the second World war.

The real victims then and till this day are the minority people of the SS who just wanted to have their own region without the ibos

Well at least you accept that the country has been killing each other before and after independence

Did the British bring us together to kill each other? We should have gone our seperate ways long ago

All goes to show what some us have been saying a long time, that the British colonial contraption has been a big mistake, all we have done is kill each other since it's creation, and everyone should seperate and go their different ways

You talk as if your Alaigbo was one peaceful hobbit enclave prior to British colonial intervention.


Your yeast was on the verge of self extinction brought about by intensive slave raiding , cannibalism and ritual murders committed by the Arochukwu fetish barbaric gangsters.


The British came and stopped you from harvesting yourselves into extinction via the slave trade. They then put an end to senseless ritual murders and cannibalism.

The yeast was the worst place on earth prior to Europeans setting foot on it. If there was anywhere in Africa that benefited from colonialism it is your yeast.

European s of first s with African tribes depicted a proud race of well fed natives with sophisticated societies. This wasn't the case when Europeans ventured into Alaigbo. Starvation was rampant and society was one of might is right - an oppressive shithole with slavery and human sacrifice at its core .

And you are basing your dead Biafra on same British created Eastern Nigeria that yoked us in the SS to you cannibals up north.

Let's agree one thing:
Anybody involved in killing, especially of civilians has to answer to that. The government is the one responsible for arresting, investigating, and prosecuting these cases. Where were they during Gowon regime?

If you refuse to answer the question, then all your discussion and points will be childishly hollow.

ChiefJusticeFuc:

Never compare the Biafran agitator and the one Nigerianist/unity beggars. The Biafran agitators wants countries created by democratic referendum. The one Nigerianist wants the continuation of a failed colonial contraption that had cost millions of lives and brought untold suffering on many more.

lgb0s are busy kiIIing each other in SE, seems you lots will still go your separate ways right?

You can channel your point to the Senate for dialogue instead of making false posts.

There are gunmen killing people in the NW, NE, NC and SE. That's 80% of Nigeria

The country is nothing but a killing field, before and after independence

Nigeria should have been dissolved long ago, the union is pointless, and has achieved nothing except death and suffering

The only ones who blocked referendum and made it a crime in this country happened to lgb0s, you are the actual unity beggars, lgb0s were just a collection of hostile hamlets and villages before Nigeria was made meanwhile other parts of Nigeria had successful kingdoms and empires that were lost to form Nigeria, u lots insisted breaking away is a crime and treason but today you want to spin the story.

It should have been dissolved long ago, just that lgb0s made sure dissolving it was tagged as treason.

But you said nzeogwu is an igbo man. Why are you now worried about the faith of the igbos in present day south south ?
Are you a witch ?

Counterigbolies:

Awolowo's oup was used to eliminate all of Awolowo's enemies.

All the coupists were trained by Fajuyi.

We thank Babangida for buttressing the fact that the coup was planned by Awolowo ers

Counterigbolies:
y did Igbos kill other people's leaders n leave their own?

Countless Igbo officers were killed by the coupists, I know that the Igbo leaders you are talking about is Nnamdi Azikiwe who was on vacation in Haiti

Counterigbolies:
y did Igbos kill other people's leaders n leave their own?

Awolowo’s political opponents were among the casualties.

They were warned of an impending coup but did nothing.

Even Balewa refused the offer of protection from the British High Commissioner
