They made their reasons abundantly clear from the beginning on why they wanted out of Nigeria and it was down to the overbearing arrogance and domineering ibo majority that had cornered everything to themselves both resources wise and job opportunities.
Moving forward to post independence Nigeria , the so-called minorities began a renewed aggitarion to leave the old Eastern Nigeria citing marginalization, oppression and suppression by the IBO majority.
The minority people of eastern Nigeria were inspired by the peaceful seccesion of Midwest out of the old Western region that did not see any opposition from the majority Yoruba.
In Enugu, the situation was the opposite with the IBO super majority doing every dirty trick to stop any motion by representatives of the minorities to call for a referendum.
Frustrated at Enugu, the minorities took their plight to the Federal Parliament and had secured the of Northern, Western and Midwestern Parliamentarians to grant a referendum for tthe minority people of Eastern Nigeria for the creation of the Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers region.
This was in late 1965 and the matter was to be presented oficially in Parliament after the Christmas break.
The IBO coup of Jan 15, 1966 was to prevent the Federal House from returning back from Christmas break to address the issue of COR region which was the first thing on the docket.
Your greed and foolishness is why everyone hated to be lumped with you and as soon as the British left, everyone wanted nothing to do with you.
Your write-up is highly informative and commendable.
I will appreciate if you can present any historical evidence to back up your claim that one of the aims of the 1966 coup was to stop the process of creating a different region from Eastern region, by the House of Representatives.
Thanks.

Enugu was made the capital of Eastern Nigeria in 1959 but prior to that all resources were being channeled to develop Enugu at the expense of all so-called minority provinces.
A lowly clerk position in the local government in western Caneroun and other provinces like Calabar , PH were reserved for ibos. Land grabbing with the full of IBO officials and even Ibo magistrates will side with their fellow ibo to legalise ibo land grab was a norm. Even ibo settlers in western cameroun were notoriously hostile in the face of their hosts as was and still is the case where ever you find ibos in Nigeria with the exception of the north which taught them a bitter lesson how to be civil.
Note that it wasn't only western Cameroun that had grown tired of being yoked to you ibos in the British lumped Eastern Nigeria.
The so-called minorities wanted out before independence and were pushing to have their own special region but Zik was able to ensure the British kept them stuck to you out of pure parasitism.
Going back a bit, and you will recall that on the eve of balkanizig Southern Nigeria into Western and Eastern Nigeria, present day peoples of Benue and Taraba were once part of Southern Nigeria but once they learnt that they will be in the sane region with you ibos they demanded that they will rather northern Nigeria.

Why did Ojukwu declare Biafra ?
It had nothing to do with ibos being slaughtered up north but because Gowon finally freed the minorities from your parasitic grasp through state creation.
Ojukwu went to war to preserve the British drawn colonial borders to continue the parasitic internal colonialism .

aother blatant lie
A western Camerounian delegate complained that before he could go to the capital of Eastern Nigeria that was once Calabar but then changed to the barren landlocked hinterland of Enugu, he had to take a once in a month ship trip to Port Harcourt and then go by the British constructed rail to Enugu
Minority provinces were under severe neglect and to add insults to injury ibos were grabbing lands of minority people and once challenged the Ibo civil servant in the Survey Office will procure a fake document asserting ownership to the ibo land grabber. if the minority being cheated chose to go to court and the case was brought before an ibo magistrate, the ibo will always get a favorable ruling. if the case came before a non ibo judge the ibo land grabber will rush to the Aba division to secure a favorable outcome.
This is one of many reasons that led to the consfiscation of ibo properties by the indigenes in places like PH and Calabar.
blatant lies from imagination without any source

No they had a referendum. In the 1950’s all those English speaking areas were part of the Eastern Region in Nigeria. They had representatives in the Eastern house of Assembly. But the fear of the dominance of the Igbo made them sign up with French Cameroon thinking they would have a leverage in Cameroon than in Nigeria. The French Cameroonians promise them federalism. But by 1971 they abolish Federalism for Unitarianism hence their problems today.
If they could have waited till 1966 when states where created out of the eastern region they would have their states and today they would have be benefiting from the 13% derivatives giving to oil producing states. Unfortunately all money made from oil as they are now a Unitary country goes to the central government who spends most of that funds in the French areas to the detriment of the English Speaking areas.
They have themselves to blame.
U have twisted the narrative again just to make it suit ur fancy.
Firstly, ...they held the referendum in Feb 1st 1961 and not in the 50's as u claimed.
Secondly,they decided to be part of Cameroon because of their strong cultural ties with Cameroun.
Thirdly,the southern Cameroun were part of Nigeria for over 50 yrs and there was the need to try another country for economic stability and not because of the dominance of igbos.
Liar liar liar.

Go and read up on the reasons forwarded by Western Cameroun delegates on why they wanted to leave Nigeria.
They did not blame the British .
They did not point an accusing finger to the Hausa-Fulani who were back then minding their business's.
They did not blame the Western region .
They I'd not blame co-minorities in the then Eastern region
They wanted out because they said back then that they were being marginalised by you ibos

They had strong cultural ties to Cross River and Akwa Ibom than the people of central Cameroon. It was the overbearingness of the Igbo that made them choose to a more lame docile French Cameroonians thinking they could overcome the French unfortunately the tide turned against them.

If 3 out of the 4 most powerful officials in Nigeria were igbos, and the only one that was non-igbo was killed in a coup executed by igbo officers what would you call the coup? If out of 3 main regions the only head of region that survived was that of the Igbo region, what name would you call the coup? No matter what your wishful thinking wants, data don't lie.

The bolded is a lie. Lies fly in Nigeria whenever it is concocted against the Igbo. Fear of domination? Yes. Who isn't scared of Igbo domination? Which African tribe would want a level playing field with the Igbo? Is it the Yoruba who would block Igbo from voting or the Fulani? What people call domination is the fear that given a level playing field with Igbo that they can't meet up. Nigeria is what it is today because the country pushes mediocrity to the top. This is why the Igbo should push for an Igbo-only country and push the best among them to represent them. That's the only way an African country could become world-class.

Even the Sarduana of Sokoto said it as far back as 1960 not to think of what the Southern Cameroons think off. If a Northerner that does not live with could bottle up such fear and sentiment what do you think those living amongst u would think.

Of course. It's an uphill task competing with the Igbo. We are on the same page. Even if you search Google where it listed the five most brilliant African tribes, none of the other four listed with the Igbo is in Nigeria.
Having said that, it's wrong for you guys to project a people as evil because you can't meet up on a level playing field. Has Nigeria made progress since they pushed "Igbo domination" to the periphery? Can you point at one progress made by 200 million people since the white man left you to rule yourselves? It can only happen among blacks.
What you guys call domination is actually brilliance. Conduct a free and fair election, an Igbo wins because he's got more to offer. Conduct exams like waec and JAMB an Igbo wins because that's who he is. In fact, the fear of what you call domination is why you now have "glitch" in election and exams in Nigeria.
