*ON IGBO DOMINATION AGAIN*

This is copied from "G.F.FORUM" posted by Olor'Ogun Sunday Folorunso Kuku, a Medical Doctor.

I know that Igbo Jingoists and my Brother Chief Duro ONABULE, who has been a "Zikist" all his life, hate
to read these political Historical facts.

I will still share it with you.

Tunde Oduwole,I-QS.

13.02.'19.

Copied. Akin This may be useful, but I’m sure you know most of the details already. What still beats me
is that how was it possible for the hierarchy of the whole NIGERIAN army to be dominated by the Igbos?
Are we seeing history repeating itself for the same question to asked again in another forty/fifty years?

*What goes around comes around: Igbo hypocrisy of the past will make attainment of their agitations;
Biafra and Nigerian Headship an Herculean Task!

"IGBO POLITICAL LEADERS AND THEIR PAST MISADVENTURES RESULTING IN CURRENT NATIONAL
POLITICAL PROBLEMS"*

(FORWARDED UNEDITED)

Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;
Chief of Army Staff was from SE

Chief of Naval Staff was from SE

IG of Police was from SE

Chief of Defence staff was fron SE

Internal Affairs Minister SE

External Affairs Minister SE

Education Minister South SE

Many other key ministries to SE

Parliament President SE

Unilag VC from SE

University of Ibadan VC from SE

North resisted same at ABU!

Still there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!

Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them
were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.

Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a
region who snatched it!

We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the
truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter
the streets. There is the tendency to think those are truths and facts.

*"What follows are documented facts that can be cross checked for authenticity!"*
Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions
and handed it to the central govt because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then. Today, he
is shouting restructuring that he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*. Let those who have ears hear.

[21/10 8:45 pm] Anascopeterson: WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF
THEIR WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY:

The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausafulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian
tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In
their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to
the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles
played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that
befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation.

The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the
average Igbo man is fond of narrating.

However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political
events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with
the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an
informed position.

Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear
that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without
the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political
leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced
amalgamation portended.

To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the
amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable
bloodshed and a failed country".

Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere
geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if
the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so
as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.

But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them
ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he
declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.

After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause
should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to
peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in
our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of
misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled
him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession
clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and
Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future
constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future
Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe

Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment
and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked
and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa
Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.

For those in doubt, here is a link of one of the numerous instances in which Nnamdi Azikiwe fought
against the secession clause proposal for the future Nigeria constitution.

https://www.thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2017/06/my-opposition-to-secession-zik/

It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought
against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against
Azikiwe or condemned him.
Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed,
though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university
graduate is the Binis).

As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are
some quotes:

"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Nnamdi
Azikiwe (1945).

"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar
Onyeamma. (1949)

[21/10 8:46 pm] Anascopeterson: As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial
District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the
Southern Protectorate. Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in
Nigeria.

With that situation the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand
in any democratic bargain.

But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these
areas should fall in the future Eastern Region. But against common sense, the colonial masters decided
to gerrymander them into the Northern Region. While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in
Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to
rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and
present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by
landmass.

[21/10 8:48 pm] Anascopeterson: While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan
struggling against Awolowo for his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with
that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist. A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy
chasing rats in a far away land.

[21/10 9:02 pm] Anascopeterson: When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his
government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that
frustrated the attempts. Here is how:

In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and
some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address.

But when the D-day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air
for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard.
Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but
perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government. However, the
British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for
treasonable felony.

Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused
Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance.

On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned
from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.

Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint".

After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC, and moved over to Awolowo's Action
Group.

[22/10 6:22 am] Anascopeterson: The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo
army officers. That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a
succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years.

Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day
of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions
but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day. In addition to the
killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every
region except their Eastern Region.

In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other
military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest
and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heros. This was
actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. On the 23rd of February 1966 (i.e. a month
and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup, an Ijaw born Army
officer called Isaac Adaka Boro who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, declared the
secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people from the monumental
marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region.

But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to
the military high command under him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with
federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped
him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and
within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to
death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared
secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent
blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello
and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal.
Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God
so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed.
Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his
previous rank.

Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria and without
consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up
Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic for which he fought against him and killed his
soldiers.

Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush
Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession
declaration 15 months earlier.

Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal
areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of
Biafra.

But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But from the facts as above, who really
betrayed the other in all honesty? Be the judge.

Why Gowon fought against Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra was as follows:

After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi
immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of
secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging. Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the
decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession,
he was reminded of the Anti-secession Decree made by him and his brother Ironsi.

[21/10 11:23 pm] Deadly Truth: Igbos frequently reference Aburi Accord to create the impression that
the rest Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.

First and foremost Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not
participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle. Secondly,
those civil servants and military men in attendance were not elected by their federal constituencies to
the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy the only universally acceptable way of making laws is
through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi the peoples' representatives
duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process. Where on earth do
soldiers make laws for the people? Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. Aburi
Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have
been allowed to stand.
Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom
they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the Independence
constitutional conference. Those representatives all resolved and agreed on federalism marked by
regional autonomy and resource control in the Independence Constitution which they brought back
home and everyone accepted it.

In that constitution, Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power. It was
also clearly stated in it that ammendments to it could be done by only democratically elected
representatives.

That constitution was the first ever agreement between all Nigerians.

On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his
own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence constitution regardless of the
circumstances that may later arise. But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power
against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its
provisions with his very offensive Decrees, and ended up dismantling the federalism and resource
control therein, and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. That
was the height of Irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement. That was how Igbos
breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for
violation of future agreements.

So Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence constitution
agreement.

[22/10 6:26 am] Anascopeterson: Obasanjo removed history from the school curriculum hence the
reason why many of what we do for a know of the eventualities in Biafra war were altered to suite their
narratives.
