IBB did Nigeria the Greatest Favor of his Lifetime with his Disclosure About the 1966 D'état

IBB, with his "Maradona" tendency, is playing Nigerians again with some of the content in his book. I have not read it myself, but excerpts from those who have read it show that he absolved the Ndigbos of directly orchestrating the 1966 coup de'tat... even though an Ibo man of Northern extraction (Kaduna Nzeogwu) led the coup, the then Head of State, Ironsi, an Ibo man, was not killed while several officers from the North were killed including the revered Premier of the Northern Region, Alhaji Ahmadu Bello. There were Yoruba officers among the coup plotters, while several Ibos were killed defending Nigeria.
 
Maybe and maybe IBB has done Nigeria the greatest favor in his evil and horrific life, with all the bad that he did. This assertion may help Nigeria heal finally, move on from the darkest moment in our history, and re-write the wrongs of the last 6 decades that the Ibos have faced. They have been shut out of the seat of power in Nigeria... If an Ibo man quashed the coup in Colonel Obienu, is that not enough reason to just remove all the other sentiments, pre-civil war? We are stronger together. Many accolades we have won together as a nation outside of politics have proved this. Without our brothers of Ibo extraction, many of our sporting victories, especially football, might not have been possible. They have brought several local and international honors to the fatherland. They are captains of industries around the world. It is clear in 2025 that division will not serve us... We need to leverage our diversity to strengthen our nation. We should bring our best and brightest minds from every ethnic group together to lead from within.
 
Nigeria needs to heal fully. Our brothers of Ibo extraction have done well despite the marginalization. They need to be more united among themselves to take their rightful seat in Nigeria... The country belongs to all of us, not the birthright of anyone as an ethnic group has alluded to in the past. If I am permitted to say this, Nigeria is overdue for a president of Igbo extraction.

This is Cacophony at Best...

MAGA destroyed DEI but they want to implement DEI at Harvard... They claim the school is not diverse enough. They have too many liberals, so they need to hire more conservative, whether they meet the hiring requirement or survive the rigor of delivering excellence at Harvard or not. This is what they claim DEI is all about - hiring people based on race, they claim, but they have no issue telling Harvard to hire based on political ideology.... You read the same thing about BLM and Antisemitism. They say BLM reflects poorly on the history of America... Critical race theory is false history... slaves loved being in captivity, they loved their masters and served willingly... there is no more discrimination based on the color of your skin in America - but all the metrics point in the opposite direction... Jewish Lives Matter; Black Lives Matter, and Palestinian Lives Matter... All Lives Matter. A terrorist life should not be equal to 20 innocent Palestinian life... It is okay to forget abou...

When you discover the wisdom of the universe, it is as if...

When you locate the wisdom of the universe, it would be as if you have a magic wand... Your prosperity rolls over, you climb to the top faster and leave many behind... Funke Akindele's movie, "A tribe called Judah" remains the highest-grossing movie in Nollywood (Nigeria's movie industry). I saw the movie last week and could not make head or tail of it.. But something was unique about it. It was the first Nigerian movie that cast MANY actors from all the major ethnic groups in the nation.. These are top actors... For so long, Nollywood has been divided along ethnic lines... You have the Yorubas doing their thing, the Igbos doing their own and our brothers in the North, the Hausas doing their own. But this movie cast actors from everywhere, so, it became a must-see for almost all Nigerians ... Funke Akindele is a talented writer, actor, and producer. But she is also a shrewd businesswoman. She located the wisdom in tapping the talent of diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria...
