Your diction is quite informative but not that surprising given that you have elected to hide your identity behind a senseless acronym. Nevertheless, your careless use of acquired epithetic slang is suggestive only of an American source. You may have arrived onto this Forum with such indecorum as exhibited in your diction in the hope that none would be any wiser as to whence such rubbish emanates from your thoughts. But your intemperance can only be attributed to your stupidity in thinking that there would be no one on this Forum able to discern and recognize you for what you truly are: a nonentity.

You need to have your head examined. Your unfounded hatred of the Yoruba people will kill you! I feel sorry for the Igbo civilians that lost their lives. Ojukwu should have been prosecuted. But I have no patience with folks like you who are just blatantly uninformed and bitter over a war caused by your own kind. Fuck off!

Crappy nonsense! Not sure why I even bothered to reply to this. Ass-hole blaming a whole race of people for one man's action. You're no better than Adekunle himself by your hatred of a whole race of people who were dragged into a war started by Ojukwu. Why did he start a war he couldn't win? Was it not an Igbo soldier that killed Balewa, Akintola, Sardauna, etc., which precipitated the counter-coup that killed Ironsi and ultimately led to the civil war? You're a fucking piece of shit to not acknowledge the errors of Ndigbo in all of this and see where it has gotten you. Go jump off a cliff!

Re: To Those Who Clamor For “A Continued One Nigeria:” Stop! It’s Too Late, By Ikechukwu Enyiagu

Obum — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 00:13:47 -0000

Let me literally say that I red this piece 'line-by-line'. Honestly, Enyiagu's position in this message is as clear as Cristal; his evidenced-rich elaborations and assertions are very axiomatic as ever. In this connection however, that the entity called Nigeria has failed abysmally cannot be over emphasized, infact, it is no-longer a news. According to a Ghanian author, Rabuska, "viable democracy is a complete impossibility in a plural society" and Nigeria is a perfect example of the said 'plural society'. However, the most frustrating thing about the actualization of Biafra is the selfish attitude of the so-called Igbo leaders. We are pursuing a collective course, whereas prominent people among us are still taken-up appointments in various government positions, doing their businesses and enjoying themselves at the expense of the poor and the less-privileged. It constantly pains me that the people who have all that it takes to fight the Igbo course are very selfish and senseless. Up till this moment, Ohaneze Ndigbo is yet to define its position in the actualization of Biafra. They left the fight for a selected few, who are financially incapacitated; they left these people in diaspora to pay with 'their-own-blood'. What a mere wickedness and callous attitude. The injustice meted on the Ibo people by the Nigerian government of Gowon and his acolytes during the civil war does not mean anything to them. Therefore, I want to say without apology that our Leaders: Ohaneze Ndigbo, past and present Igbo-Senators, past and present Igbo-Governors and other Igbo political big-men are the reason for this continuous delay, suppression, oppressions; they are also the truth-erasers. It is now so bad that they are poised to undermine every foundation on which any community life could be erected. They are keen to put the emergence of Biafran nation on-hold. We know their antics, we know their sinister moves, but God will shame them all. Biafra shall come to be! ,,,Those who does not know history are susceptible to become the victims of history.

Dear Chief Osuamadi:

Please pardon my tardiness in responding to your very kind words, so eloquently expressed on this forum. And please accept my deepest condolences for the loss your dear brother, Felix Osuamadi, in the war that was genuinely meant to liberate a people, the Ibos, of that part of the world. A people, who because of their intelligence, their perseverance and equanimity, have remained a hated people by every other ethnic grounp in that Country called Nigeria. We the Ibos are hated as we are for the simple fact that there are no other group of peoples like us. That is a distinction that I bear with immense pride and that every Ibo, man or woman, should as well.

I know that I am not alone in my understanding of the Yoruba Psyche. Mr. Ade (below), as would most of his fellow Yoruba, is sorely mistaken when he claims that the 1966 Coup d’état was "...the Ibo coup of Nzeugwu". This assertion alone exposes Mr. Ade’s abject ignorance of the reasons for the 1966 Coup and the major players therein. There was a reason why this was called the "Majors" coup. It was a Coup masterminded by officers of the Nigerian Military of ranks not above that of a Major.

The staggering ignorance of Mr. Ade would be comical if it were not of serious import in that the perpetuating of such lack of a fundamental understanding of the major reason for the 1966 Coup and the resulting pogrom and genocides directed toward the Ibos make it possible for someone like Mr. Ade to espouse such inanity as he has just revealed in his post of 3 days ago. But lest he continues to wallow in his ignominy, I will edify him thus.

Please see below for my response to Mr. Ade's comments.

Ade:

The following can be found online and is included here for the sole educational purpose of edifying Mr. Ade. What is revealed here, albeit incomplete, is the Politics extant in Nigeria prior to the Biafra war;

“After independence the attitudes of the major parties toward the formation of new states that could accommodate minority aspirations varied widely. The NCNC espoused self-determination for ethnic minorities but only in accordance with its advocacy of a unitary state. The Action Group also supported such movements, including the restoration of the northern Yoruba area (Ilorin) to the Western Region, but as part of a multistate, federal Nigeria. The NPC steadfastly opposed separatism in the Northern Region and attempted with some success to win over disaffected minorities in the Middle Belt.

Proposals were introduced for the creation of three states as a means of restructuring the regions along ethnic lines. The most extensive revision sought the separation of the middle belt from the Northern Region, a move the United Middle Belt Congress promoted. Serious riots in Tivland in 1960 and 1964 were related to this agitation. Another plan was put forward by the Edo and western Igbo to create the Midwestern Region by separating the whole tract adjacent to the Niger River from the Yoruba-dominated Western Region. At the same time, Ijaw and Efik-Ibibio ethnic groups proposed that the coast between the Niger Delta and Calabar become a new region in order to end Igbo dominance in that area. At this time, however, only the Midwestern Region achieved formal approval, despite opposition of the Action Group. The creation of the region was confirmed by plebiscite in 1963.

The creation of the Midwestern Region reopened the question of the internal restructuring of Nigeria. One motive for a more drastic restructuring was the desire to break up the Northern Region. That region, having more than half the country's population, controlled a majority of the seats in the House of Representatives. There was also the fear that the Igbo-dominated NCNC would gain control of the Midwestern legislature and thereby become even more powerful. A new political coalition, the Midwest Democratic Front (MDF), was formed by leaders of the Action Group and the United People's Party to contest the Midwestern Region election with the NCNC. During the campaign, the conservative United People's Party accepted support from the NPC, a fact that NCNC candidates stressed in their call to keep northern influence out of the region. Many Action Group workers withdrew support from the MDF in protest, and some allied themselves with the NCNC. In the 1964 elections, the NCNC won by a landslide.

New State Movements

After independence the attitudes of the major parties toward the formation of new states that could accommodate minority aspirations varied widely. The NCNC espoused self-determination for ethnic minorities but only in accordance with its advocacy of a unitary state. The Action Group also supported such movements, including the restoration of the northern Yoruba area (Ilorin) to the Western Region, but as part of a multistate, federal Nigeria. The NPC steadfastly opposed separatism in the Northern Region and attempted with some success to win over disaffected minorities in the middle belt.

The Census Controversy

Because seats in the House of Representatives were apportioned on the basis of population, the constitutionally mandated decennial census had important political implications. The Northern Region's political strength, marshaled by the NPC, had arisen in large measure from the results of the 1952-53 census, which had identified 54 percent of the country's population in that area. A national campaign early in 1962 addressed the significance of the forthcoming census. Politicians stressed the connection between the census and parliamentary representation on the one hand, and the amount of financial support for regional development on the other. The 1962 census was taken by head count, but there was evidence that many enumerators obtained their figures from heads of families, and many persons managed to be counted more than once.

Southern hopes for a favorable reapportionment of legislative seats were buoyed by preliminary results, which gave the south a clear majority. A supplementary count was immediately taken in the Northern Region that turned up an additional 9 million persons reportedly missed in the first count. Charges of falsification were voiced on all sides and led to an agreement among federal and regional governments to nullify the count and to conduct a new census.

The second nationwide census reported a population of 60.5 million, which census officials considered impossibly high. A scaled-down figure of 55.6 million, including 29.8 million in the Northern Region, finally was submitted and adopted by the federal government, leaving legislative apportionment virtually unchanged.

Demographers generally rejected the results of the 1963 census as inflated, arguing that the actual figure was as much as 10 million lower. Controversy over the census remained a lively political issue. NCNC leaders publicly charged the Northern Region's government with fraud, a claim that was denied by Balewa and by Bello, the regional prime minister.

Popular Disillusionment and Political Realignment

The conspiracy trials that led to the conviction of two of the country's most dynamic politicians, Awolowo and Enahoro, severely weakened public confidence in the political and judicial systems. Abuses were widespread, including intimidation of opponents by threats of criminal investigation, manipulation of the constitution and the courts, diversion of public funds to party and private use, rigging of elections, and corruption of public officials whose political patrons expected them to put party interests ahead of their legal responsibilities. Popular disillusion also intensified because politicians failed to produce benefits commensurate with constituents' expectations.

The volatile political scene leading up to elections in 1964 was ominous. The Action Group virtually disappeared from the federal parliament as a result of the Awolowo affair, thereby fundamentally altering political alignments at the national level. By early 1964, therefore, the federal parliament no longer had a recognized opposition. Akintola's party, which was renamed the Nigerian National Democratic Party in an effort to attract more support, now dominated the Western Region. The federal government nominally consisted of a consensus of the ruling parties of all four regions, but it was a fragile alliance at best and had emerged as a result of heavy-handed tactics. The NCNC had strengthened its position by gaining firm control of the Midwestern Region, so that it dominated two of the four regions. Akintola managed to undermine the NCNC in the Western Region, even though nationally he was pledged to an alliance with the NCNC. For its part, the NCNC denounced Akintola's party as a "tool of the NPC" and allied itself with remnants of the Action Group.

Political realignment was deceptive, however, because the basic divisions within the country remained unaltered. The NPC was reasonably secure in the Northern Region, despite the presence of minor parties, but it could not govern Nigeria alone, and alliances with any of the southern parties were ideologically incompatible and very tenuous. The NPC continued its dominance because of the inability of the other parties to find common ground among themselves and with northern progressives. Awolowo's pointed remarks in 1963 that democracy could be secured only if the Action Group and the NCNC could reach an accommodation that would remove the deadweight of the NPC from power fueled NPC concerns. The detention of Awolowo prevented that alliance from maturing, but it did not result in greater political stability. Indeed the alliance between the NPC and NCNC, which had dominated federal politics and destroyed the Action Group, now fell apart.

The 1964-65 Elections

The federal parliamentary election campaign in December 1964--the first since independence--was contested by two political alliances incorporating all the major parties. The Nigerian National Alliance (NNA) was composed of the NPC, Akintola's Western-based Nigerian National Democratic Party, and opposition parties representing ethnic minorities in the Midwestern and Eastern regions. It was opposed by the United Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA), which joined the NCNC and the remnants of the Action Group with two minority-based northern allies, the Northern Elements Progressive Union and the United Middle Belt Congress.

Not surprisingly, the NNA adopted a platform that reflected the views of the northern political elite and, hence, was an attempt by the NPC to gain firmer control of federal politics through an alliance with the Western Region. Its appeal to voters outside the north was based essentially on the advantages to be gained from associating with the party in power. The NNA preyed on Yoruba fears of Igbo domination of the federal government. The UPGA was employed in an attempt by the NCNC to use the two regional governments that it controlled as a springboard to domination of the federal government. Strategically it offered a reformist program, combining a planned economy that endorsed increased public spending while also encouraging private enterprise. The UPGA proposed to divide the country into states that reflected ethnicity. Its proposals were intended to undermine the existing regional basis of political power by creating a sufficient number of states in each region so that none of the mayor ethnic groups--Hausa, Yoruba, or Igbo--could dominate region. The UPGA presented itself as an alternative to northern and, more specifically, to Hausa-Fulani domination of the federal government. Convinced that it would win if the election were held in an atmosphere free from interference by ruling parties in the Northern Region and the Western Region, the UPGA spent most of its efforts denouncing what it regarded as NNA intentions to rig the election in those regions.

The election was postponed for several weeks because of discrepancies between the number of names on voting rolls and on census returns. Even then the UPGA was not satisfied and called on its supporters to boycott the election. The boycott was effective in the Eastern Region, where polling places did not open in fifty-one constituencies that had more than one candidate running for office. In other constituencies in the region, UPGA candidates ran unopposed. Nationwide, only 4 million voters cast ballots, out of 15 million who were eligible. The NNA elected 198 candidates, of whom 162 represented the NPC, from the 261 constituencies returning results. After an embarrassing delay, President Azikiwe agreed to ask Balewa to form a government with the NNA majority. The boycott had failed to stop the election, and in March 1965 supplementary elections were held in those areas in the Eastern Region and in Lagos where the boycott had been honored. UPGA candidates were elected in all these constituencies, bringing the NCNC-dominated coalition a total of 108 seats in the House of Representatives. The UPGA became the official opposition.

After this decisive defeat, the UPGA prepared for the November 1965 legislative election in the Western Region in an attempt to gain control of the three southern regions and the Federal Territory of Lagos, the region surrounding the capital. If successful, the NPC-dominated NNA still would have controlled the House of Representatives, but it would have given the predominantly southern UPGA a majority in the Senate, whose members were chosen by the regional legislatures.

Once more NCNC strategy failed. Amid widespread charges of voting irregularities, Akintola's NNDP, supported by its NPC ally, scored an impressive victory in November. There were extensive protests, including considerable grumbling among senior army officials, at the apparent perversion of the democratic process. In the six months after the election, an estimated 2,000 people died in violence that erupted in the Western Region. In the face of the disorders, the beleaguered Balewa delegated extraordinary powers to the regional governments to deal with the situation. By this time, Azikiwe and the prime minister were scarcely on speaking terms, and there were suggestions that Nigeria's armed forces should restore order.

In January 1966, army officers attempted to seize power. In a well-coordinated action, the conspirators, most of whom were Igbo, assassinated Balewa in Lagos, Akintola in Ibadan, and Bello in Kaduna, as well as senior officers of northern origin. In a public proclamation, the coup leaders pledged to establish a strong and efficient government committed to a progressive program and eventually to new elections. They vowed to stamp out corruption and to suppress violence. Despite the bloody and calculated character of the coup, these sentiments appealed directly to younger, educated Nigerians in all parts of the country.

The army's commander in chief, Major General Johnson Aguiyi Ironsi, quickly intervened to restore discipline within the army. In the absence of Azikiwe, who was undergoing treatment in a London hospital, Balewa's shaken cabinet resigned, leaving the reins of authority to the armed forces. Ironsi, also an Igbo, suspended the constitution, dissolved all legislative bodies, banned political parties, and as an interim measure formed a Federal Military Government (FMG) to prepare the country for a return to civilian rule at an unspecified date. He appointed military governors in each region and assigned officers to ministerial positions, instructing them to implement sweeping institutional reforms.

Ironsi and his advisers favored a unitary form of government, which they thought would eliminate the intransigent regionalism that had been the stumbling block to political and economic progress. A decree issued in March abolished the federation and unified the federal and regional civil services. Civilian experts, largely Igbo, set to work on a new constitution that would provide for a centralized unitary government such as the NCNC had favored since the 1950s.

Although the decree contained a number of concessions to regional interests, including protection of northerners from southern competition in the civil service, Ironsi's action showed dangerous disregard for the nuances of regional politics and badly misjudged the intensity of ethnic sensitivities in the aftermath of the bloody coup. The failure of the military government to prosecute Igbo officers responsible for murdering northern leaders stirred animosities further. Igbo civil servants and merchants residing in the north made the situation even worse through their triumphant support for the coup. Furthermore, Ironsi was vulnerable to accusations of favoritism toward the Igbo. The coup was perceived not so much as an effort to impose a unitary government as a plot by the Igbo to dominate Nigeria. Likewise, many Muslims saw the military decrees as Christianinspired attempts to undermine emirate government.

Troops of northern origin, who made up the bulk of the infantry, became increasingly restive. Fighting broke out between them and Igbo soldiers in garrisons in the south. In June mobs in the northern cities, abetted by local officials, carried out a pogrom against resident Igbo, massacring several hundred people and destroying Igbo-owned property. Some northern leaders spoke seriously of secession. Many northerners feared that Ironsi intended to deprive them of power and to consolidate further an Igbo-dominated centralized state.

In July northern officers and army units staged a countercoup, during which Ironsi and a number of other Igbo officers were killed. The Muslim officers named thirty-one-year- old Lieutenant Colonel (later Major General) Yakubu "Jack" Gowon, a Christian from a small ethnic group (the Anga) in the middle belt, as a compromise candidate to head the FMG. A young and relatively obscure officer serving as army chief of staff, Gowon had not been involved in the coup, but he enjoyed wide support among northern troops who subsequently insisted that he be given a position in the ruling body. His first act was to repeal the Ironsi decree and to restore federalism, a step followed by the release of Awolowo and Enahoro from prison.” from Helen Chapin Metz, ed. Nigeria: A Country Study. Washington: GPO for the Library of Congress, 1991.

Unfortunately, the above-quoted write-up failed to describe the reason for the January 16, 1966 Coup d’état led by Major Nzeogwu and the make-up of the Coup leaders. It is a misnomer to claim that the coup was an “Ibo” Coup for nothing could be farther from the truth: the Coup leaders comprised both Yoruba and Ibo Officers. I think it would be safe for one to state that the troubles plaguing Nigeria today emanated directly from the actions of the Yorubas in the Western region of the Nigeria, when following the Parliamentary elections in the western Region in 1965 they went on a rampage, killing and burning to the ground their own kinsmen just because the Opposition Party did not win the election that they did everything they could to steal. And mind you that it not matter what the Opposition Party was, what is salient here is the fact it was the Yorubas who were killing their own kinsmen and women and children. Hence the January 16, 1966 Coup d’état, that resulted due to the incompetence and ineptitude of the then Prime Minister (Balewa) and President (Azikiwe). I seriously doubt that the first Coup would ever have happened had the West (the Yoruba) not destabilized the Country and Balewa not been so inept and derelict at his job.

Think about that.

If you think the Ibos are so bad for Nigeria, look at you now. How well is Nigeria doing since the Ibos have been relegated to the background of all aspects of the essential functions of the development of the Country? Nigeria is the laughing stock of the entire World, having been tagged as one of the most corrupt Countries, if not the most corrupt Country, on this planet. You will be deluding yourself if you think we do not know from whence the bulk of that corruption emanates. It is from you, the Yoruba. You have not had the Ibo to blame for every ill the befalls Nigeria for 47 years, yet Nigeria is far worse off that it ever has been, even during the few years prior to the first 1966 Coup d’état when you claim the Ibos were in charge.

People like Mr. Ade should just stop blaming the Ibos because irrespective of whatever anyone outside of Nigeria might write about the Peoples of Nigeria, they will only be writing half-truths for they have not lived the Nigerian experience. We, the Ibos, have.

We the Ibos, the Yorubas, the Hausa and every other Tribe has lived the Nigeria of our forefathers and we know each other inside out. We know that most, not all, Yoruba cannot be trusted because they cannot keep their word, to wit: Awolowo and the the creation of the State of Oduduwa. Yes, you are afraid of the Ibo because he possesses superior intellect and although he may not have much material wealth, he never begrudges you what you have. Your problem is that you cry foul when things don’t go exactly your way but instead of accepting responsibility for yourselves, you immediately seek out a scapegoat to blame and who else to blame but the Ibo.

You in your blind hatred of the Ibo may not know it but the days are are over and done with: you will continue to stew in the muck that you have racked up for yourselves and no longer shall you be able to look to the Ibo to pull your carcasses out of the fire that you started and now raging uncontrollably all around you.

Amaechi.

please stop this lies.Awolowo was not released from calabar prison by ojukwu.Go and ask your fathers to tell you the truth and stop propagating lies.
Gowon released awolowo.Murtala drove all the way to calabar to bring awolowo to lagos.
War is bad.When you declare independence as a young country like biafra attempted, there will surely be consequences.
Stop blaming people for your failures.Ojuwku was a spoilt brat who took the whole ibos to a war they never prepared for.
To make matters worse the average ibo thinks he is smart.How on earht could Ojukwu had annexed all non-ibo speaking people that have Oil to his biafra,He was indeed a joker.
The stage for the war was set by the Ibo coup of Nzeugwu.
You cannot massacre people of different tribes under the guise of coup while not touching any Ibo politician and you dont expect consequences.
The Ibos should grow up and stop complaining.The annoying thing is that the Ibos all over the world believe people envy them, even those that are better than them.
In as much as all the tribes in nigeria are still primitive, the Ibos are the most primitive, even worse that the hausas.
My wife is Ibo which makes me have ibo in-laws.But the Ibos are the most un-intelligent set of people in Nigeria.
It is only a stupid man who thinks he is smarter than everybody.And he acts based on the assumption that every other person is daft.
Even before an Ibo man acts, we all know his mind-set and people get prepared for him.
When the Ibo fails to out-smart you, he resorts to calling you names.
Awolowo was a true son of Yoruba and God will bless him for what he did and how he showed courage and wisdom.
Though I am a born-again christain, I will rather form a country with a muslim from anywhere than an Ibo christain because an Ibo will always be Ibo.
Majority of those who fought the Ibos to a stand-still on the field where Yorubas who were gallant and brave.
Even many yoruba officers fought on the side of biafra, yet some idiots open their gorrilla mouth to call yorubas cowards.
Its a shame when Ojukwu ran to ivory coast instead of dieing like a man.He left a calabar man to surrender
.Adekunle, though a wicked and mad man was in the thick of the battle, so also akinrinade and many more yoruba officers.I thabk God for making me a yoruba man.
Who is the coward that ran and escaped in the heat of war.
He was even sleeping with an Hausa woman while fighting Nigerians.
Truely these Ibos are jokers.

Adekunle hated the ibos and the Hausas he supported and fought for in thier spirited bid to annihilate the ibos hated him with passion
See how his Hausa friends disgraced and humiliated him out of the army
Many Hausa soldiers committed worst crime than the one they sacked him for and since his dismissal from his very dear Nigerian army they have totally abandon him despite his being used as a mass executioner of the ibos during the war
If he is sincere,I am sure he must be regretting and biting his teeth right now for joining forces with uncivilised savages against those that had long foreseen the evil grand plan of the Hausas

Reason is because the Igbo elite women are in bed with these enemies. All these women have meeting every month on how to control their men. Guys do not follow your sisters to lie to your neighbors.
