Wasn't Achebe in Ibadan during the civil war?

Why are yorobs villifyn lucifer(awo)! Answer these questions!
Was the aburi aCcord which wud hve averted the war diabolically truncated by awo(directly or indirectly?

To demonstrate his disdain for injustice could he decide to stay neutral?

What biafra fought for (a true federal structure)is still haunting us! True\false?

Did awo introduce Tribalism in national politics ie the action group saga?

Who was the first civil servant to open accounts abroad?

Did delta edo gain a single thing from awo under his jurisdiction? Ie free edu!

Who is the father of tribalism?

Who defended and was the progenitor of starvation to reduce populace? I know Gowon never made mention or defend it

I repeat who vehemently defended the killing of women and children as collateral damage?

Who was the bloody civilian that brought division amongst ourselves in the south via bigotry and nepotism?

Who visiited the east during the war and claimed there was no starvation and very minimal civilian casualties?

LUCIFER (fill It in )

Yoroslaves, behold the handiwork of your massa awolo, who later went on to die of rat poison.

I don't blame you Igbos....maybe Awo should have allowed the food passage but the whole food lace with leather poisons that would have kill off all your fathers gradually.
If that has been done...we will not be having this discussion afterall.

Who told you he didn't do that too. We are still here,bubbling; with some of our young people making headlines in the world arena. Maybe he mistakenly lased his own food with your suggested. On a more serious note, we are not as stupid as you think. Yoroslaves always mistake us for their kind. Biafra had as citizens, world class scientist that are worth their salt, till today. We would detect it and then go ahead and wipe out the slave race. Anyways, how many times did you bow to the emir of ilorin today? vile slaves.

Yorubas are the Problem with Nigeria – By Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
Via Elombah.com. Wed, 05/27/2009 – 11:01

By Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the Prospective Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

i. The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics;
ii. Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and
iii. The Yoruba Factor and “Area-boy” Politics.

See also The Adulteress’ Diary by Lamido Sanusi

My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was ” Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors” published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled ” The Igbo, the Yoruba and History” (Aug. 21, 1998).
In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.
The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention.
When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.

When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians.
Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud.

Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation.

When an AD governor, Bola Tinubu, swears to a false affidavit that he attended an Ivy League University which he did not attend, we hear excuses.

For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals.

Yet in spite of being so dominant, the Yoruba complained and complained of marginalization. Of recent, in recognition of the trauma which hit the South-West after June 12, the rest of the country forced everyone out of the race to ensure that a South-Westerner emerged, often against the best advice of political activists.

Instead of leading a path of reconciliation and strong appreciation, the Yoruba have embarked on short-sighted triumphalism, threatening other “nationalities” that they ( who after all lost the election) will protect Obasanjo ( who was forced on them). No less a person than Bola Ige has made such utterances.

To further show that they were in charge, they led a cult into the Hausa area of Sagamu, murdered a Hausa woman and nothing happened. In the violence that followed, they killed several Hausa residents, with Yoruba leaders like Segun Osoba, reminding Nigerians of the need to respect the culture of their host communities. This would have continued were it not for the people of Kano who showed that they could also create their own Oro who would only be appeased through the shedding of innocent Yoruba blood.

I say all this, to support Balarabe Musa´s statement, that the greatest problem to nation-building in Nigeria are the Yoruba Bourgeoisie. I say this also to underscore my point that until they change this attitude, no conference can solve the problems of Nigeria. We cannot move forward if the leadership of one of the largest ethnic groups continues to operate, not like statesmen, but like common area boys.

iii.The Igbo Factor and the Reasonable Limits of Retribution.

The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation. They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi. Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country.

Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman´s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate. Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalistion of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly because, they reason, they brought it upon themselves. But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb.

After the First World War, the victors treated Germany with the same contempt Nigeria is treating Igbos. Two decades later, there was a Second World War, far costlier than the first. Germany was again defeated, but this time, they won a more honourable peace. Our present political leaders have no sense of History. There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Sardauna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie-Eboh, hundreds of thousands have died and suffered.

If this issue is not addressed immediately, no conference will solve Nigeria´s problems.

"All is fair in war, and starvation is one of the weapons of war. I don't see why we should feed our enemies fat in order for them to fight harder." (Chief Obafemi Awolowo (Nigerian Minister of Finance, July 28th 1969)"Until now efforts to relieve the Biafran people have been thwarted by the desire of the central government of Nigeria to pursue total and unconditional victory and by the fear of the Ibo people that surrender means wholesale atrocities and genocide. But genocide is what is taking place right now - and starvation is the grim reaper.

This is not the time to stand on ceremony, or to go through channels or to observe the diplomatic niceties, The destruction of an entire people is an immoral objective even in the most moral of wars. It can never be justified; it can never be condoned."
(Mr. Richard Nixon, September 9, 1968- During the Presidential Campaign)."Federal troops, killed, or stood by while mobs killed, more than 5000 Ibos in Warri, Sapele, Agbor"(New York Times, 10th January, 1968)."It’s (mass starvation) is a legitimate aspect of war" (Anthony Enahoro, Nigerian Commissioner for Information at a press conference in (New York, July 1968)

"Starvation is a legitimate weapon of war, and we have every intention of using it against the rebels"(Mr Alison Ayida, Head of Nigerian Delegation, Niamey Peace Talks, Republic of Niger, July 1968)"The Igbos must be considerably reduced in number"
(Lagos Policeman quoted in New York Review, 21 December, 1967)"One word now describes the policy of the Nigerian military government towards secessionist Biafra: genocide. It is ugly and extreme but it is the only word which fits Nigeria's decision to stop the International Committee of the red Cross, and other relief agencies, from flying food to Biafra"(Washington Post (editorial) July 2, 1969).

"In some areas outside the East, Igbos were killed by local people with at least the acquiescence of the federal forces, 1000 Igbo civilians perished in Benin in this way"(Max Edward- Reporter on the ground-New York Review, 21 December 1967)."After federal forces take over of Benin, troops killed about 500 Igbo civilians after a house-to-house search with the aid of willing locals (Washington Morning Post, 27 September, 1967)."The greatest single massacre occurred in the Igbo town of Asaba where 700 Igbo male were lined up and shot as terrified women/children were forced to watch" (London Observer, 21 January, 1968)

"Federal troops, killed, or stood by while mobs killed, more than 5000 Ibos in Wari, Sapele, Agbor" (New York Times, 10th January, 1968)."There has been genocide on the occasion of the 1966 massacres, the region between the towns of Benin and Asaba where only widows and orphans remain, federal troops having,for unknown reasons, massacred all the men" (Paris Le Monde, 5th April, 1968)."In Calabar, federal forces shot at least 1000 and perhaps 2000 Igbos, most of them civilians"(New York Times, 18th January, 1968).

"Bestialities and indignities of all kinds were visited on Biafrans in 1966. In Ikeja Barracks (Western Nigeria) Biafrans were forcibly fed on a mixture of human urine and faeces. In Northern Nigeria numerous Biafran house-wives and nursing mothers were violated before their husbands and children. Young girls were abducted from their homes, working places and schools and forced into intimate intercourse with sick, demented and leprous men''
(Mr. Eric Spiff (German War correspondence Eyewitness, 1967).

"There has been genocide, for example on the occasion of the 1966 massacres , Two areas have suffered badly [from the fighting]. Firstly the region between the towns of Benin and Asaba where only widows and orphans remain, Federal troops having for unknown reasons massacred all the men. According to eyewitnesses of that massacre the Nigerian commander ordered the execution of every Ibo male over the age of ten years"
(Monsignor Georges, sent down on a fact-finding mission by His holiness the Pope reporting his finding in Vatican Rome, Le Monde, French Evening newspaper, April 5, 1968).

"650 refugee camps, contained about 700,000 haggard bundles of human flotsam waiting hopelessly for a meal, outside the camps, was the reminder of an estimated four anda half to five million displaced persons, the Kwashiokor scourge, a million and half children, suffer(ed) from it during January; that put the forecast death toll at another 300,000 children, More than the pogroms of 1966, more than the war casualties, more than the terror bombings, it was the experience of watching helplessly their children waste away and die that gave birth to, a deep and unrelenting loathing, It is a feeling that will one day reap a bitter harvest unless, "(Frederick Forsyth, British writer January 21st 1969)

"I saw several hundred of Zombie-like creatures -men, women and children, lying, sitting or squatting in the midst of others who were dead. The living ones were completely reduced to skeletons and could not talk. I was seeing for the first time, kwashiorkor, Frankly, I took fright, I believe that any foreign troops from anywhere in the world occupying Ikot Ekpene or any other town in Biafra would have shown much more sympathy" (Gen. Alex Madiebo, Ikot Ekpene, July 1968)"One word now describes the policy of the Nigerian military government towards Biafra:- genocide. It is ugly and extreme but it is the only word which fits Nigeria's decision to stop the International Committee of the red Cross, and other relief agencies, from flying food to Biafra. "The Nazis had ressurrected just here as Nigerian forces" (Washington Post (editorial) July 2, 1969)

"The loss of life from starvation continues at more than 10,000 persons per day - over 1,000,000 lives in recent months. Without emergency measures now, the number will climb to 25,000 per day within a month - and some 2,000,000 deaths by the end of the year. The new year will only bring greater disaster to a people caught in the passion of fratricidal war, we can't allow this to continue or those responsible to go free" (Senator Kennedy appeals to Americans - Sunday, November 17, 1968)

"I want to see no Red Cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no Pope, no missionary and no UN delegation. I wantto prevent even one Ibo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves and when our troops march into the centre of Ibo territory, we shoot at everything even at things that do not move" (Benjamin Adekunle, Commander, 3rd Marine Commando Division, Nigerian Army to French radio reporter)."The war aim and (final) solution properly speaking of the entire problem, is to discriminate against the Igbos and in their own interest. Such discrimination would include above all the detachment of those oil-rich territories in the Eastern Region, in addition, the Igbos' freedom of movement would be restricted, to prevent their renewed penetration into other parts, leaving any access to the sea to the Igbos, is quite out of the question" (Federal Nigerian Minister speaking to E. C. Schwarzenback, Swiss Review of Africa, February 1968).

"Let us go and crush them. We will pillage their property, violation their womenfolk, kill off their menfolk and leave them uselessly weeping. We will complete the pogrom of 1966"(The theme song of Radio Kaduna, government-controlled, 1967-1970).
"Unfortunately this [Gowon's] enlightenment at the top level does not penetrate very deep: a Lagos police officer was quoted last month as saying that the Igbos must be considerably reduced in number"(Dr Conor cruise O'Bien , 21 December 1967 New York Review)

"Myself and The same UNICEF representatives went on to convey something of what lay behind this intransigence: "Among the large majority hailing from that tribe who are most vocal in inciting the complete extermination of the Igbos, I often heard remarks that all Nigeria's ills will be cured once the Igbos has been extaminated from the human map"(Dr Conor Cruise O'Bien (21 December, 1967, New York Review)

Yoruba are just evil cowards
nothing more
they are the most evil group in nigeria
but one day nigerians will remember their crimes and visit them with their brand of evil
devils

isn't it ironic that even northerners are more human than the demons of odua land
nigerians are taking note
evil people

Have the Igbos bothered to explain the rationale behind killing other regional leaders and sparing theirs?

Which was the event that led to the civil war

i wonder if Yoruba people have souls at all
that is why i think that the most foolish igbo man or women are those who marry Yoruba
they will share all these curses

in fact ndigbo should replace osu with all these igbo who marry Yoruba
because they will bring curses to igboland

marry Yoruba -become ostracized!

Explain

they are cursed
they were killing themselves and burning down their cities and towns
our brothers felt their pain and offered help by killing aboki and their puppets in Yoruba land
Yoruba stopped fighting and join aboki to kill the same people who helped them
Yoruba then devised a murder plan against innocent children oof the same people that tried to help them
Yoruba today boast more than even the aboki

how i wish our brothers allowed them to finish themselves and return to the
stone age where they eat the hearts of their dead kings and
practice inbreeding!

Yoruba, a satanic group

have you taken your medication or you are still waiting for Awolowo to feed you with your drugs?

More controversies from the long awaited book THERE WAS A COUNTRY by Chinua Achebe,
Mr Danjuma Azemobo Musa has now added more fuel to the already heated debate.

I had wanted to stay away from discussing the "Awolowo" part of the raging controversy generated by Prof. Achebe's book THERE WAS A COUNTRY... but since most people would rather defend Awolowo than dwell on other crictical issues raised in the book, let us consider that in Awolowo's understanding, the over 2 Miliion Igbo men, women and children whom he starved to death were just collateral damage. In order words, to purnish a few "Biafran" dissidents into surrender, he helped murder 2 Million "Nigerians".

Hear the truth from Awolowo's own lips:
"...so I decided to stop sending the food there. In the process the civilians would suffer, but the soldiers will suffer most."- Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

What more can one conclude? - Mr Danjuma Azemobo Musa.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
@all
Danjuma Azemobo Musa [Lets assume that is his REAL NAME], is being disingenious
with the truth here!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PLEASE NOTE HERE:
"Bonny, Okrika and Port Harcourt on July 26, 1968 and the port of Calabar on October 18, 1968 were LIBERATED after Amphibious landings by the gallant Nigerian Marines led by the Nigerian Ijaw icon, Major Isaac Adaka Boro of the 3rd Marine Commado division of the Nigerian army under the leadership of the the Col. Benjamin Adekunle."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Now, when Chief Obafemi Awolowo [SAN] visited the 'LIBERATED AREAS' in 1968, he first SAW KWASHIORKOR VICTIMS who
had crossed over to the liberated areas of Calabar, Enugu and Port Harcourt. It was based on what he saw in 1968
as stated in his Abeokuta Town Hall Meeting of 1983 that made him to say, "Then I enquired what happened to the
food we are sending to the civilians. We were sending food THROUGH the Red Cross, and CARITAS to them, but what
happened was that the VEHICLES carrying the FOOD were always AMBUSHED by the soldiers [i.e., biafra rebels].

"You won't hear of a single lawyer, a single doctor, a single architect, WHO SUFFERED from KWASHIORKOR. NONE of
their CHILDREN either, so they waylaid the foods, they AMBUSH the vehicles and took the foods to their friends and to
their collaborators and to their children and the MASSES WERE SUFFERING. So I decided to stop sending the food there.
In the process the civilians would suffer, but the soldiers will suffer most."

It is satanic and an act of MISCHIEF for ANYBODY to say Awolowo [who was then a respected ECONOMIST AND LAWYER] starved OR CAUSED Igbos to SUFFER from KWASHIORKOR because those people already had MALNUTRITION when he got to the liberated areas in 1968. It is satanic to continue to put words into Awolowo's mouth [cherry-picking and criminal twisting of Awolowo's words] by MANIPULATING the last statement he made in English which is very clear enough, "So I decided to stop sending the food there.
