WHO BETRAYED WHO AMONG THE ETHNIC GROUPS IN NIGERIA

 

There are three major tribes in Nigeria namely: Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa these three groups have their differences in terms of different Identity, Languages, Culture and of course Region. The Igbo are in the Eastern part of the Country, the Yoruba in the Western Region and Hausa`s in the Northern part hence Nigeria was first administer on Regional basis.

Most of my friends are Igbo’s and I easily make Igbo friends while I was in school. Once in a while jokingly, we somehow run into argument with the caption “The Yoruba`s betrayed the Igbo`s” but my sincere question had always been how? In determining this I think is best to run through the common history.

The three regions became a country as a result of the 1913/1914 amalgamation by the colonialist for their easy administration and up to 1959 when they were going to gain their independence from the British Government up until then there was no single clash between the Igbo’s and the Yoruba’s. Then 4there was need for a parliamentary election to determine who takes over from the British Government.  

The result of the election was regionally biased in that the Easterners voted in favour of the Eastern party NCNC (National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons which also came first with 2, 594, 577. 34 81 seats the Western Party came second with 1,992,364.26 73 seats and the Northern Party came third with 1,922,179.25 134 seats and other independent parties

Consequently, there was need for a coalition of convenience between political parties in which Action Group of the Western Region traveled to Asaba in the East to meet with Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe of NCNC for possible coalition in which the Action Group was willing to concede the position of Prime Minister to Dr Nnamdi Azikwe while Chief Obafemi Awolowo of Action Group was ready to either deputize or be given Ministerial appointment. They were lodge in an Hotel had dinner together waiting for the signing the next day only for them to read in the dailies that the NCNC of Eastern region had gone to the North to form coalition with the Northerners making Sir Ahmadu Bello of NPC the first Nigerian Prime Minister it was an unimaginary phenomenon for the Yoruba`s “can this be called an act of betrayal or not”?

In 1966 there was a coupe de tat majorly by the Igbo young Officers in which they started their plot against the then Prime Minister, Abubakar Balewa from August 1965. It is clear to all and sundry that the January 1966 coup was what gave birth to the July 1966 counter-coup. This was also the cause of the first and only civil war that occurred in 1967 between the eastern Nigeria and the rest of the country’s.

In the course of the first military coup in Nigeria, up to eleven senior politicians were assassinated by Kaduna Nzeogwu and his fellow coup plotters. They also killed two soldiers and kidnapped up to three other soldiers. Sir Samuel Ladoke Akintola, was the premiere of the Western Region; he was also killed during the coup same for the wife of the Northern Nigeria’s Premier’s wife, Mrs. Lateefat but the Igbo leaders were spared “can this be called an act of betrayal or not”?

Young officers from the north carried out a counter coupe de tat that took the lives of many Igbo officers inform of retaliatory fight back to the initial coupe de tat carried out majorly by Igbo officers. As at the period Francis Adekunle Fajuyi was the military governor of the Western Region. the military governor of the Western Region who was a very close friend to the Military head of State stood his ground when the officers of the North came for a retaliatory attack on  Brigadier JTU Aguiyi-Ironsi during his visit to Western Region and decided to die first rather than allowing the Northerner to take the life of his friend “can this be called an act of betrayal or not”?

Consequently, all of these resulted to agitation by the Igbo`s to secede from Nigeria which resulted into first Civil war in Nigeria called Biafrian War. Before we continue on the need to point out who betrayed who, I feel we need to have a general understanding of the word betray or betrayal. Betrayal is the noun form of the verb betray, which means to be disloyal or traitorous. A specific act of disloyalty is a betrayal. the act of betraying someone or something or the fact of being betrayed: violation of a person's trust or confidence, of a moral standard, etc. the betrayal of a friend a betrayal of trust a betrayal of one's principles.

There was a propaganda by the Eastern Region that Chief Obafemi Awolowo had discussed with Ojukwu who was then the Governor of Eastern Region that if the East is forced to secede from Nigeria, that he will pull out the West from Nigeria. Mean while there was no supportive document signed by Obafemi Awolowo to have emphatically make such statement on one hand even if he made such construction was that a commitment to fight along the Igbo`s ? however, what the man said was the same he had been saying and written which is “THE EASTERN REGION MUST BE ENCOURAGED TO REMAIN PART OF THE FEDERATION. IF THE EASTERN REGION IS ALLOWED BY ACTS OF OMISSION OR COMMISSION TO SECEDE FROM OR OPT OUT OF NIGERIA, THEN THE WESTERN REGION AND LAGOS MUST ALSO STAY OUT OF THE FEDERATION”. Which was his general statement written and published.

During the war at a particular point the Igbo fought into the Nigerian region which was Ore. My question is who were they killing while they fought their way in the Hausa`s Fulani or the Yoruba`s “can this be called an act of betrayal or not”? I have a yoruba friend who`s father loss all his family who lived in Ore to Biafran war.

In all of these I wish to ask a question who was betrayed the Igbo`s or the Yoruba`s.

What if there is war?

 

What if there is war? God forbid. No one prays for war, I do not pray for war, in fact I rebuke it in Jesus' name. The situation of things and the way thing are going is drawing my attention and thought to the question “What if there is war?’’. The insecurity in the Country is seriously becoming alarming, from the Chibok school girls kidnapping on the night of 14–15 April 2014 to the banditry-terrorism nexus in northwest Nigeria, The series of Herdsmen attack here and there, the formation of Vigilantes security outfit  in Southwest called Amotekun, the same in the Northern Nigeria and the East are agitating for same all in the name of Security, The Igbo are saying if they do not produce the President in 2023 there would be secession of Biafra, the Western region is also agitating for Odua Peoples Republic, Student are being kidnap day and night even in higher Institutions.

Tensions, rumours of plans of attack by the Fulani to take over the Eastern and the Western region of the Country are flying on daily basis. People are experiencing series of attack and killings by the Fulani herder’s everyday while the government seems to be doing noting or something next to nothing. All of these and more are drawing my thought to the question “What if there is war”?. Fiat currency (Paper Money) becomes worthless.

Imagine one escaping to neighboring Country and all your savings are the War zone banks. You cannot withdraw because the system is short down. Imagine a millionaire escaped to a neighboring Country and begging for money not because he does not have in the savings but cannot access it. But there a type of money you can withdraw easily all you need is a phone or computer.   

Planning is not just needful, it is crucial, it is said that a life without a plan is a plan to fail on its own.

Permit me to reiterate the importance of Cryptocurrency, e.g. Bitcoin , Ethereum, XRP, Bitcoin vault, litecoin,  Electric Cash, Dash etc. What is cryptocurrency? it’s simply money, Digital money, like Naira, Dollar, Yen etc. Crypto currency was introduced in 2009 with Bitcoin being less  than a dollar, few people bought then and kept in their digital wallet in less than 7 years a Bitcoin went up in value to over $7000 USD that was how some people  became millionaires, today a Bitcoin worth $34,000.00 Thirty-Four Thousand, you can Google it.

 Investment is about securing the future; I have seen people who were doing well at work but ended up begging systematically after their retirement, the problem is nothing but inappropriate planning

. Kindly invest in crypto currency, it's a foregone conclusion that it's the future currency, China fought it , they came back to introduced their own currency called digital Yuan, Tunisia fought it they came back to introduce their own digital currency, American Government fought it , it became more popular to the extent that every rich person in America came out to say they are investing, in fact the present richest man in the world (Jeff Bezo and Elon Musk) came out to say he want to be paid in Bitcoin, even though CBN is fighting it today they have come to say they only need to regulate how it's been exchanged in Nigeria, the opportunity is still there. Senegal has launched a blockchain-based national digital currency. Known as eCFA, the digital currency is legal tender with the same value as the current currency

To date, countries that have issued their own cryptocurrencies include Ecuador, China, Senegal, Singapore, Tunisia, and more countries has come out to say they are working on theirs.
