Nzeogwu Coup Meant to Install Awolowo Prime Minister of Nigeria –Dr Ezeife



—as Igbo Israeli Summit Ends in  fanfares
The failed Major Nzeogwu led coup was meant to install Chief Obafemi Awolowo as Prime Minister of Nigeria.  This was stated by a core progressive and former governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife at the second day of the Igbo-Israeli Economic Summit titled South East Youth Economic Summit 2016 (SEYES 2016) which ended in Enugu yesterday. Dr Ezeife while clarifying further stated that the Nzeogwu coup of 1966 was never an Igbo coup.
According to Ezeife “it is not true that Igbos plotted the 1966 coup. The coup was planned by some elements within the military disenchanted with the drift of Nigeria who felt that Awolowo was in the best position to move Nigeria forward. The problem was that the execution of the coup got awry at some axis and everybody now claimed it was Igbo coup”

 He stated further that “the coup failed and General Ironsi carved  provinces in Nigeria to help each group govern themselves better. They said that he was running a unitary system and killed him, yet Nigeria s practicing the same system for which Ironsi died”

 Igbo Mandate Congress (IMC) has commended the historic first ever organized business partnership between the Israeli and the Igbo people of South East Nigeria. This partnership being kick started with this South East Youth Economic Summit (SEYES) organized by Ambassador Paul Ekpere led Diamond Youth initiative with the invaluable input of Prof Chinedu Nebo and former Governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife among other Igbo leaders has the potential of turning the South East into the Japan of Africa.

Igbos has complained enough. It’s time to move forward. The realities on the ground, the swelling unemployment, dilapidated infrastructure, abandoned Enugu-Onitsha-Port Harcourt roads, abandoned 2nd Niger Bridge project, abandoned Onitsha-Oguta Sea Ports among others are all potential platform for economic development deliberately denied the South East of Nigeria through internal and external political naivety.

However, this summit is another way of leveraging on the advantages of the South East by harnessing the resourceful youthful population of Ndigbo and channeling their energy towards productive economic ventures.

Igbo Mandate Congress (IMC) after full discreet investigations into the events of May 29th and 30th Biafran Heroes Day Celebrations do hereby condemn the murder of innocent persons by officers and men of the Nigerian Army, Navy and Police.

Igbo Mandate Congress though has divergent views over the Biafran agitations from IPOB and MASSOB, do hereby condemn the massive use of force on unarmed civilians commemorating the annual Biafra Day Celebrations at St Francis Catholic Church, Nkpor and Onitsha environs in the early hours of May 30th.

Other persons, numbering over hundred sustained various degrees of injuries while hundreds are still being held at at SARS Awkuzu, State CID Onitsha and Army Barracks. IMC views it improper that even some wounded were abducted from hospitals and abandoned to die.

Emerging Fascist State: Who is Misleading Buhari?


by Obinna Akukwe

It is obvious with the events in Nigeria that the nation state is gradually turning fascist, especially the manner some elements within the ruling party is pursuing the fight against corruption, leading one to ask who is misleading President Buhari.?

I want to speak out on this emerging fascist state so that when the nation (minus me) is engulfed in another self inflicted problem, my conscience will be very clear. That was how, with over thirty write-ups and expositions on the subject of Boko Haram, since 2011, all I predicted came to pass including massive embezzlement of trillions of naira under the guise of security, wastage of lives of over two thousand gallant rank and file of the armed forces, murder of over 20,000 harmless civilians and displacement of millions of people. The Jonathanian regime for political expediency, allowed Boko Haram to overrun the country. The Buhari regime should not allow fascist mentality to overrun his leadership.

I was an avowed supporter of the ‘Change Regime’ of Buhari, both in Prayers, Public and Private Campaigns and Mobilizations, and it is obvious that somebody somewhere, is misleading President Buhari, and using his goodwill as excuse to silent political opponents.

Tompolo Boys Defy Buhari, vow to Set Nigeria Ablaze - Part 2

 Finally, Tompolo Boys have set Niger Delta ablaze as I warned the Nigerian Government four months ago. Informed sources within Tompolo camp have informed me that any attempt to humiliate the ex-warlord by EFCC will lead to a battle royale between Buhari and the militants.  I warned the nation in three separate write ups of the consequences of the politically motivated manhunt for Tompolo  cloaked as financial matters. In subsequent write ups,I aadvsied Tompolo to return his loot to the Nigerian Government and seek the path of peace. I also advised Niger delta elders to placate the Federal Government and ensure a safe landing for Tompolo.


These are not because I support the theft of billions at Maritime Agency. Rather it is because,from the available intelligence, it is obvious that Tompolo boys are still active and ready to procure arms and do harm that will be more than what their principal did before with dire consequences for the nation.



At that time, four months ago, there was nothing like Niger Delta Avengers.At that time,the disgruntled boys only have an intention to stoke hard but no detailed plan. At that time,other militant leaders were at the fence, not knowing which side to take between Tompolo and the Federal Government,.At that time, disgruntled politicians are yet to have a grip on the boys.

The General Assembly of all Igbo Christian Organizations and Ministers (GAAICOM), foremost Igbo umbrella of religious leaders with track records, have once more called upon all Igbo Hebrews home for a ‘3 Day Walk into the Presence of God’. This 3 Day Prayer Walk is as revealed to the General Coordinator Apostle Dr PCJ Macjossy way back in 2002, and confirmed by other religious leaders cutting across all denominations since then, is finally coming to fruition as the political and occult leaders who opposed the divinely mandated prayers all these while are the ones now begging for its convocation.

This Prayer Conference tagged ‘3 Day Walk in the Presence of God” which will involve the entire Igbo Nation, has since gotten the support of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide and all prominent Igbo Groups as solution to the myriads of misfortune, political and otherwise following the race.

The aim of the 3 Day Prayer is for all Igbos to get back to their Igbo Hebrew root and call upon the God of the Hebrews to stand on their behalf in these trying times of national transformation. The 3 Day Programme holds the key to unraveling the destiny of Ndigbo Worldwide.

In a briefing with church leaders after the state delegates conference in Enugu on Monday, GAAICOM advised all Igbo Hebrews to begin to prepare for the ‘3 Day Walk’ scheduled for October.

Why all these Fire Prayers have not stopped the evil Activities of Boko Haram, Bandits and Secessionists Kidnappers.
