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.

Bros you people have allotted the whole of Ikwerre land then to yourselves. The loss of Port Harcourt and the liberation of the Ikwerres is the greatest regret of that war.

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
