ALWAYS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY...
NDIGBO! carefully listen to the words from my pen and diligently hearken to my voice. You may not like my unpatronizing tone and seemingly arrogant confrontation, ignore the messenger but embrace the message. For I speak of uncontrovertible
History, your elders have failed to tell; I offer invaluable lessons your leaders have failed to teach; and I bring with me essential Wisdom, your forebears have failed to impact...Never you always present ass for ramming, Never you always be on the wrong side of history, Never
-you always be the Judas in every company of 12.
Shall I Begin?
1966, the country was barely 6 years into independence, our system of Government appeared to be working with the Regional system practiced for it meant powers were concentrated in the Regions and Each tribe and
-Sub-Nation can grow to the innovative capacity of their leaders. The Giant of Africa was on track to maximizing its true potentials of standing shoulder to shoulder with the 1st World Greats till Ndigbo struck.
1. Maj Emmanuel Ifeajuna
2. Maj Chukwuma Nzeogwu
3. Maj Christian
Anuforo
4. Maj Humphrey Chukwuka
5. Cap Ogbonna Orji
6. Nwobosi
7. Ogochi..
And ofcos the only 'I am Yoruba but...' Maj Adewale Ademoyega...These Igbo men struck in what was recorded as the 1st bloody coup in Africa, and climaxed with the merciless slaughter of leaders and heroes
-of all tribes but their own. Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, Aare Samuel Ladoke Akintola etc all slept in their own rivers of blood...NDIGBO on the wrong side of history.
1979: The Nation after series of Coups (Successful of Abortive) and counter Coups, Nigeria was finally on
-the Match again, Democracy once again beckoned and Patriots presented themselves to be counted. Shehu Shagari, Aminu Kano, Obafemi Awolowo, Ibrahim Waziri. At this time, the North and West were fierce political rivals, Northerners bore animosity for Obafemi Awolowo and the
-feeling was mutual even down West. But Shehu wasn't stoned in West, Awolowo wasn't lyched in the North, whatever disagreement we had, we acted with our votes as every civil human should. But when our own Great Awo arrived Aba, Ndigbo welcomed him with venom demonstrated by the
-pelting of Rocks, even the devil do not face as much vengeful attack in Mecca. They would have Awolowo dead or rather killed for daring to run in d same race as Zik and for other imaginary crimes for which they found Awo guilty, Ndigbo is Complainant, defendant, counsel, judge
-and Jury in its own case. The seed of extreme Hate their elders planted in them since the war, had germinated to firmly rooted trees with overreaching branches. Awo returned to the West bloodied, head dripping hot blood, just because our former Premier offered himself for
-service, NDIGBO on the wrong side of History. Awo told his people, you must work with the Igbos regardless, AWO was many things, perfect isn't one, and this may be one of those imperfect moments, for those he counseled us to work with have made themselves perpetual enemies, on a
-committed journey of injuring anything Yoruba, our Heroes, our Land included, Akintola knew this and warned us accordingly. NDIGBO on the wrong side of History.
1993:
Shall I proceed???
