You are damaged.

How do you compare individuals to a government that represented their people?

Who was those officers to igbo nation?

A coup carried out mainly by a particular ethnic group that targeted every other ethnicity for elimination that saw to someone from the same ethnic group seizing power after the political elite from same ethnic group arbitrarily handed power to themselves to which the populace of same ethnic group gloated and openly celebrated the coup and its outcome.


How ethnically biased can a coup be?

EDGEof2MORO:

Truth is bitter and I like how it brings out the bile in you.

What you wish for me, you an your entire household will reap a thousand fold before your weak curse near me.

Igbophobia:


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.

Self-deception refers to the process of misleading oneself to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid. It involves cognitive biases, denial, or rationalization to maintain certain beliefs or avoid uncomfortable truths.

While not a formal medical diagnosis, self-deception is studied in psychology and psychiatry as part of defense mechanisms (e.g., denial or repression) that protect the ego from anxiety or distress.

There exists a wide gap between Ibo self-perception (or should we say self-delusion) as a great power and the cold reality of their cultural, historical ,economic and social backwardness being the reason behind the chronic mass delusion.

It’s a sad combination of inferiority complex and unfounded sense of grandeur.

There was a famous character called Ah Q in an early 20th century literature work in China. Ah Q is a loser but cannot accept his lowly station in life. So he goes around telling himself he is better than the other people around him, often saying “I was beaten by my bastard son” after losing a fight. In the end, he was framed for a robbery and sentenced to death. When he was g his death warrant by drawing a circle (since he couldn’t write), he was more upset about the circle not drawn perfectly than the death sentence.

Ndigbo collective mass delusions are a coping mechanism deployed since the failed January ibo coup to massage their bruised egos.

Coping mechanisms like "we fought not only Nigeria but the mighty British , Soviet empire and Egypt". Another quip is to sing their usual dull ballad like our Chinese character Ah Q mentioned above such as " we rose up back after the war and Awo's €20 policy heist our wealth" forgetting that it was Nigeria that nurtured them back to their feet ad not their war torn homeland which they all fled from after the final whistle was blown.


Ndigbo self deciet complex has made celebration of their tragrdies and defea as a sign of strenght which defeat encapsulates Ah Q’s entire existence – a blend of farce and tragedy, where self-deception persist.

No doubts Igbo domination was overwhelming. If states where not created in 1967 Igbo’s would have overrun Akwa Ibom Cross River and Rivers State.

By overrun you mean they’ll be very active and dominant in the production sectors and development of the state, like Lagos and Abuja?

Your write up is riddled with inaccuracies, generalisations, and senselessly offensive stereotypes. You trivialized the complexities of the 1967-1970 civil war which was ed militarily by Britain and soviet union as well as other powers. Your take on the aftermath of the civil war is indicative of your addled mind. Your reference to Ah Q is both laughable and shows a lack of understanding, which you've managed to decieve yourself as smartness. It is no news that the Igbos rebuilt after the war and are celebrated for community resilience.
Also, your claims lack evidence and relies on emotionally charged rhetoric. And all your quack references do not compensate for your lack of substantive argument. You've just managed to show your poorly constructed and biased screed that misrepresent history, and stereotypes an entire ethnic group with provocative rhetoric. Your entire posts on this thread lacks evidence, nuance or intellectual rigor and your derogatory tone undermines any potential for constructive dialogue.

he has nothing important to say

DomPerignon:


See the hate .

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

As per your curse that is now upon your head, you are not God and whatever evil that resides in your bitter soul will consume you and your household

lol. you told him truth is bitter

I agree, the truth is bitter and that is why it can not be found on your mouth or fingertips

Don’t forget guys there was a guy called Isaac Boro who declared Niger delta Republic if the fear of the Igbo’s is not a threat what could be further from the truth. Boro seeing Southern Cameroon exit Nigeria made move to do similar but unfortunately to no avail.

What is your ethnicity?

DomPerignon:


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

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.

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 -Ogojaa-Ribers 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.

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 .

Thats how all 7 coups that's occured in Nigeria went

Nobody knows till today what area Boro was declaring Niger Delta Republic. If he was that scared of Igbos, one wonders why he now fought for the Northern backed Government of Gowon that put his Ijaw tribe in bigger slavery than he ever was in the Eastern Region

johntolu:


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.

It makes sense because from all , the coup was hurriedly arranged and executed.

Nigeria is wild

See the revelation that the Nigerian military government was owing Abiola billions and the reason they didn't allow him take office is the fear that he will take the money when he becomes president...... Wild but may be true, an insider made the allegations

And you have ended up saying nothing. The guy is right,.y'all should shed that victim mentality.

So in a nutshell, only you ibos had the right to secede from Nigeria and to drag the entire already Ibo weary so-called minorities trapped in the British created and lumped Eastern Nigeria.

You see your life.

You see how arrogant you guys are that you saw the British handed down colonial estate to lord over as the newly bestowed internal colonizers.

What you accuse the north of , you are a million times far guilty of.
