How Oba Of Benin Messed Up ! by ariesbull: 5:16am On Jun 02, 2018
Gowon and Northerners were not so much against the Aburi accord.They didnt even understand what it was all about.

It was Southerners that opposed the decisions reached at Aburi.Men like S.I.A. Akenzua(former Oba of Benin) who was Permanent Under-Secretary, Federal Cabinet Office at the time raised objections to the Aburi agreements in a January 8 1967 memo he sent to Gowon after they returned to Lagos from Aburi.
It was Akenzua's memo (which concluded that the Aburi provisions and a weak center will lead to disintegration of the country) that prompted Gowon to summon a meeting of the regions in Benin chaired by H. A. Ejueyitchie(Secreatray to the federal government) between February 16-18 1967.

After the Benin meeting where they doctored the agreements reached at Aburi,Gowon issued Decree 8 on 10 March 1967 which gave the federal government more powers over the region than it has ever had in the history of Nigeria.

Mostly Southerners also pushed Gowon to divide the regions and create the 12 states of 27 May 1967 not Northerners.

The next war in Nigeria would surprise many people, especially the very emotionally unintelligent surrounding us.

Learn from the past and prepare yourself for the wars of the future.

IPOB released raw tape of the Aburi accord. If Nigerians listened to these tapes, they will apologize to Ojukwu. How these demons turned everything agreed in the Aburi accord upside down thinking there was no tape is baffling

well, the youngman at that time was doing his job, thinking northerners were rational human beings..

Thanks for this Report.
Whatever was done in the past, was good for our experience.
It is just time now for Restructuring so that the States can progress individually and competitively in a forward match for Nigeria's development.
It is now time to prune down The Centre and give F.G relevant Responsibilities such as:-
1, being wholly responsible for Foreign Affairs;
2, Control of The Military;
3, Responsibility for NYSC and giving them good Military Training in their one year service.
4, Signing Treaties for The Federation and
5, Receiving Uniform Contrbutions from the States to run these Duties and other allied duties that will keep The Federation united.

Wake up already! Ojukwu was an international stooge employed by France to distabilize fragile British Nigeria. If u think u had any choicevin Nigerian civil war, you are just living in a mirage. Aburi accord means absolutely nothing!

Leave The States to fend for themselves, they will fend sufficient to pay more than salary.

The last war that occurred you lost shamefully. You lost woefully. And you lost over 1million Igbos.


It won't be different this time. If it's going to be different, it will be as an increase in the number of people you will lose.


Omode o mo oogun on pe lefo.


See his mouth like war. Go and ask your grandparents what they suffered during the war.


Anyway I understand that the only war you've ever fought as a people prior to the civil war was the Aba Women RIOT. LOL.


Take a cue from the Yorubas who have been fighting wars since time immemorial.


When they tell you to let peace reign, they are speaking from experience and not cowardice.


But it's your choice though. There are better and non violent ways to achieve your Biafra. Stop your foolishness.


A word is enough for the wise.
yorubas are slave

Now everyone is paying for that costly mistake. If only they were wise enough to understand back then we won't have been in this sorry state we are now. There is no country that makes mediocrity a state policy that ever develops. You can't keep your best brains down just because you want them to be at the same level with the laggards. US and China are what they are today because they celebrate excellence and they give everyone the opportunity to excel but what do we have here aside hate, tribalism, nepotism etc. We have a car maker like Innoson that has the potential to be a global brand but the northerners and the westerners have refused to patronise the brand. Look at how India turned Tata into a global brand by first making it a national brand. Nigeria will never develop as one entity because there is no unity of purpose, we are all pulling in different directions. The best is to break it up or at least allow for semi autonomy of the disparate nationalities that make it up so that everyone can develop on their own comparative advantage and pace. I don't want to believe that we all are so dum.b to see that we have remained stagnant for donkey years and stvpidity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different result.

Glad to note that northerners are after all not be blamed for Nigeria's woes; southerners who caused and instead blaming northers are in fact the architects of their current political misfortunes.

You should know them by now. Na their way be dat. sad When somebody pays them back in their own coin now, by insulting one of their Obis, Ezes or Igwe, they will start alleging that everyone hates them.

Those 'doctored' tapes, ba? shocked These days, anything can be mixed and matched, to sound like something. In 1967, the kind of tapes used were very different from the ones used now. And such top govt tapes were kept under great security. So that tape propaganda will not fly, abeg.
