T9ksy:

Please do but before rushing off to open your thread, can you pause a minute and respond to the FACT here on this thread.

Here's Ojukwu in his usual arrogant poise proudly admitting to charging relief agencies "Landing fees", before they are allowed to feed his

starving people. The same people you lot have been whining for years that, awolowo starved!

I must give credit to Eko-Ile for bringing the video evidence in which the Ojukwu himself admitted to asking for landing fees before his starving people can be fed. Amazingly, no Igbo defenders here could defend or justify what Biafran war-lord himself admitted to. In my personal view and I think any logical mind would agree that this fact speak volume about ojukwu sincerity to his people.

Andre Uweh:
Ijaws conquer the yoruba race, are you serious?. The Ijaws have never been interested in conquering people. Their only concern is fishing.

This how easy it is
http://www.myondostate.com/myondostate/newssend.php?id=869
Some Ijaws claim ownership to lagos. They must have conquered the yoroslaves there, to become the owners of their part of lagos.

Intellectual response and i expected something else not same BS haters of truth are spewing all over the net. Go hug transformer for the singular fact that someone decided to say it exactly the way it happened. Oshisco!

Sometimes i just ask why can't real fight break out between yoruba and igbo? I and my cohort are desperately and hungry to display what we did in the pass. Many of this fools on this forum does not know why my id was 9_I_HAIL. yoruba's trade carefully what you are asking for is a revenge remember that revenge is more disastrous.A word is enough.

Keep up the good work, I'm running off to Ivory coast.:- Ojukwu.

hehehehe

Awolowo did not deny the seizure of the food, he said the federal govt ordered the food to be stopped because the foods were not getting to the masses, the soldiers hijacked the foods to themselves....what else do you want him to say or do? And he did clarified this before he died but for somebody to now come up and accused him again after so many yrs..haba...wt all fairness and sincerity let us all judge it.

Let us stop ds fights, it won't lead anywhere. If Yorubas were bad we won't have millions of Igbos in Lagos and thousands in Ibadan.

The fat man took the food for himself, let his people starve and then ran off to ivory coast.
hahaha comical.

It's ok! There was a war picture of a Biafran child who shed blood as tears. My uncle was executed by the Nigerian troop 3 months after the Biafran surrender. So I consider it an insult to the memory of my kinsmen who suffered and died when lies supplant truth.
We only want to live in a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria where our rights and individual liberties will protected and respected. We have moved on. Hope Yorubas do the same. No need to twist events of that era. Any attempt to do such will trigger a debate like this one.

LOL...you were running your mouth now before you got whipped now, it's story time! Your kinsmen were stupi.d and the proof is your own behaviour here because you are being even MORE stupi.d. Stupidit.should and will NEVER be untreated, hence the action of the Nigerian troops. Hence, the treatment you are getting here. Forget all those platitudes about rights and liberties in Nigeria for they are mere crocodile tears. When will you surpass your fathers by declaring WW 4? Oh I can't wait and you would realize how lucky the previously stupi.d ones who declared secession were! I will personally resign my job to meet you on the field of battle and oh my goodness, you will get an atomic bomb for each character of stupid word you have used in your useless life!

baqina: Na wa ooo, this thing is still trending. Please let us forget this Biafra issue and move on with our lives..biko..enough is enough.

With all modesty and fairness, Achebe ought not to have made that statement, wat is wrong is wrong. He is an elder state man and of international repute for that matter, he (Achebe) can't make that statement and expect the people concerned not to talk despite the fact that Awolowo had cleared himself before he died. Why is Achebe saying all this after d death of Ojukwu and 45 yrs after d war?...haba.

ABEG...LET THE SLEEPING DOG LIES...#my2cents.

Shut up your Yoruba mouth. Were you not the people abusing everyone: Hausa, Yoruba, MB, SS?? When you people eat too much akpu and ewu nama, how can you not mis-jive? There is no sleeping dogs for now even dead ones will be waken back to life!

The clown said don't bring food for my people to eat unless you pay landing fee. It's even sad listening to the fool saying the fee was for currency change and some idiotic nonsense while his people are dying. What a scum bag...

Bloody propagandist!

ACM10:

Hope people will watch the video you posted. That's why I demanded to know whether you are a clown in real life.

You just need to lay low sometimes. Are you watching a different video from the rest of us?

You have been demanding proof with regards to Biafra charging landing fees to charities. You refused to accept the names of the charities arguing ignorantly that you have never heard of charities such as YMCA.

In the video provided by Eko ile, one can hear Ojukwu justifying the collection of landing fees from charities who were bringing in free food for starving Biafrans. One can also hear Sir Hunt saying that the Biafrans wouldn't accept the aid without the landing fees. One can see how insensitive the Biafran high command were towards the people they were claiming to be protecting. Little wonder, Ojukwu took off in the middle of the night, taking the places of little girls that were being rescued, and killing a few girls in the ensuing drama.

At 1.13, he laments that everyone was silent to their dying after declaring his silly war. Are you kidding me? What happened to that whiff of empty boastfulness and sly smile in the first video? What sympathy is the foolis.h man talking about? Did they send you to war, why ask for sympathy since you claimed you were prepared at the beginning? At 2.22, it was exposed that ojuku also told the CHARITY organizations to fly in FUEL and if they did not, they would not be allowed to bring in FOOD! You see why silly people were starved to death by ojuku and yet they blame Chief Awolowo and Gowon for their decisions?

For the impatient, ojuku said he charged "landing fees" to AID organizations bringing in food to feed dying biafrans. At 2.42, the foolis.h ojuku is caught saying that he told the CHARITY organizations to give him money so he can print baifra currency and use the money to buy weapons. This is ridiculous stupidit.y! Since when did a roadside beggar tell you what you should give to him and on his terms? The relief agencies did not want anything done really BUT they were FORCED to do the work because of your big-headed foolishness! Now I actually begin to hate this ojuku foo.l after even looking at his uncouth manner he talks about what he did. BOTTOMLINES, every one who claimed and still wants biafra like this deserves to be starved until his flesh and bones evaporate!

It is obvious the Biafran propaganda machine is still working.

You mean you were expecting charities to fund your war!!!

Yes, more people would have starved to death.

No doubt you were cursed from heaven and hell if in 7.40 mins you did NOT hear your foolis.h ikebe leader say clearly he asked for money in order for the charities feeding you to give food to the little ones who were starved to death. Why should stupid okjuku be caught espousing the foolis.hness of asking for money or was it not him boasting on what was prepared for the Nigerian army before the war? Oh, so after using all your money to buy weapons, he now demands money from charities who wants to feed his brainwashed followers? iboz are the most, most, most stupid cretins on the planet!

^^^Are you a thicko or what ? Where in my post did i say Biafra was 'EXPECTING' charities to fund the war? The realities on ground at the time was that the country needed money for the war effort and also for the food distribution logistics, hence the request for assistance from int'l bodies. I'd like you to refer me to where Ojukwu himself said that the continuation of aid delivery was dependent on payments made to the Biafran gov't....you do know there's a difference between a 'request' and a 'demand' don't you.

You guys that can see no wrong in your god Awo are trully evil people with black hearts, and atimes i wonder the ill-fortune that made Ndigbo share the same country with wicked souls that see nothing wrong in the annihilation of women and children just to keep this farce of a country going.

If that crap you wrote up there is what u have ignorantly described as intellectual (please correct your spelling), am worried why u are not yet a professor, please, until u are able to spell properly and construct sentences, keep the word intellectual very far away from your vocabulary, if you are going to Critize a world acclaimed writer and influence on a personal bias of tribe, then you are not fit to lace the shoes of the great one.

If I have a black heart then you have a fish brain. You stated and I quote, "What i can gather from what he said was that if Biafran gov't got financial assistance (didn't see where he said mandatory payments) it would help with the war effort.....or were you expecting him to just clap his hands together and money would appear like magic?". You were implying that it was normal for Ojukwu to expect payment from aid agencies to fund his war effort.

Sir David Hunt stated that Biafra would refuse the aid without the payments and in the very next clip Ojukwu justified the landing fees by stating that it was going to be used in the war effort. But before that, St. Jorre had stated that the aid agencies used the network of churches and schools to distribute the aid. So what was Biafra charging landing fees for?

In any case, why would anyone charge charities landing fees for bringing in FREE food for starving children? Clearly, the problem isn't Ojukwu evil men such as yourself whom he led. You are the heartless who sees nothing wrong in that despicable act. But I am not surprised; it is inline with your philosophy of everyman or child for himself.

I don't remember telling you that I share the same country with you but to address that point, you should take your question to Zik's grave.

Secondly, Ojukwu's response was that he asked the aid agency to give them the money for logistics in distributing the aid and relief material to the needy. Every government does that. Its on record that some workers of the aid agencies actually works for foreign intelligence. Which reasonable leader grants an unfettered access to choice locations to aid agencies in his country in the time of war? Would you want the location of your military installations to be disclosed to your enemy? He went on to say that the hard currency was converted to Biafran currency which was a legal tender in Biafra. Pls where did he admit charging landing fees on the aid agencies in the said video?

Moreover, the documentary was aimed at discrediting Ojukwu. There are a lot of bias in the account of those who produced it.

You demanded that I should lie low because I've not given you a response on the other thread. I'm following the thread closely. Just that I don't have much time on my hand for a prolonged argument. I will give my rebuttal only when I will be ready for a prolonged argument.

I rushed to read Oyeyemi's Intellectual Response to Achebe--what a joke!
Oyeyemi never refuted anything Achebe said, but wasted 99% of his time belittling Achebe, calling him names, and even diverting to the Buhari-Shagari/Ekwueme saga. What a title misnomer, what a shame, and what an obsfucation! Nobody is fooled by such antics. Maybe an Igbo person needs to come out and challange Achebe if other Nigerians just can't intellectually do the job. I wish the Ikokus are available.

Which of these elaborate quotes have anything to do with Awolowo again?

Those that call themselves Nigerians hide behind the darkness that Nigeria bountifully provides. Nigeria is a den that every intelligent nation would want to disassociate with pronto. Creating a catalyst for once great nations to birth imbeciles. Look around you. The scum you call Nigeria is so corrupted to the fabric that it is hard for you to differentiate its populace from imbeciles. People fight and die for far away nations who hate them. Others lie and try to be what they are not. Act all confused and have no social fabric, no belief system, are neither here or there. Take pride in the most foolish of occurences and peoples. Live like dogs and are satisfied with crumbs. Never challenge the most stupid of behavior, as long as they receive crumbs. A country built on hearsay and opportunism. Where thieves are heralded as heroes and their most lucrative business is fraud. No sane nation ever emerged from this kind of recipe. Nigeria is a fraud on poor children of metu. Look around you, and see humans living like dogs. And tell me you think this was by somebody's mismanagement, but not by design. A structure designed to fail. Defined with peculiar details, and laced with webs to drag all sane minded individuals into insanity. A nation who's heroes are either psychopathic murderers or offshore liers. A country that accepts foreigners before their own, destroys their own heritage and worship foreign gods. A country that is more concerned about some fictional foreign investors, than developing the eager young entrepreneurs. A country that hates and curses their forefathers on a daily basis. Calling them devils and praying that their imported gods destroy them. This is the reasons I would dissociate y'all ido.tas from the heritage of my fathers. Y'all on your own, and the children of metu of now do not represent metu in anyway. CHUKWU BLESS METU. goddamn Nigera.

Zimbabwe, Congo DR, Liberia, Ethiopia, Haiti, North Korea, Pakistan, etc insist on the money for logistics passing through the government.

Watch the whole video to judge for yourself the aim of the documentary. BTW, they claimed that those money were used to purchase arms and ammunitions. How much did aid agency give to the Biafran government which was enough to cover for the purchase of arms used to fight the war? This is propaganda at its best!

A country that its populace would sentence an akara thief to instant horrific death, but let the obasanjos of their world roam their streets freely (now this is my definition of cowardice). All this stupidity started somewhere. It has spread to the east like cancer. I weep and I pray that I get the opportunity to wipe out all you scums of this earth.

9ja_I_hail: Sometimes i just ask why can't real fight break out between yoruba and igbo? I and my cohort are desperately and hungry to display what we did in the pass. Many of this fools on this forum does not know why my id was 9_I_HAIL. yoruba's trade carefully what you are asking for is a revenge remember that revenge is more disastrous.A word is enough.

Havent we been down that road before and we saw how your ancestors fled to Abidjan in the thick of things

demmy:

Typical igbo hustler that will do anything for money. Isn't that what Achebe is currently doing?

LOL. the funniest thing is these igbo boys on this thread are in denial. in their mind, the film was doctored
hahaha truth is indeed very bitter.
even a quick google search will confirm that Ojukwu was demanding landing fees from the charities to buy weapons. most of the food was also being quartered for the army rather than for the starving igbo people. does ojukwu or his men look like they ever missed a meal?

in fact, the "starving children" were being exploited as a propaganda weapon by ojukwu. that is the saddest case of all. exploiting the poor kwanshiokor children in order to garner pity from abroad. he didn't care for those kids. he would have quit the war if he did. what a monster. the exploitation just caused the war to drag on longer than it should have.

Listening and watching the video makes me feel like spitting on that Ojukwus face.

I initially thought he was a freedom fighter, who wanted to liberate his people, but had a failed strategy, ALAS,he is not who i thought he was.

He is a self centred lunatic, allowing those kids STARVE to death was primarily his fault

Of course they will deny with every breath in their bodies because it doesn't fit in with the story of heroes and villains they were fed by the Biafran propaganda machine. They can actually hear Ojukwu justify charging fees to charities bringing food and medicine supplies and are stupidly asking whether Ojukwu used the words landing fees.

For the benefit of those that have not watched the video. It was the pink brit devil that accussed ojukwu of demanding weapons before relief are supplied. Ojukwu never said that in this video. Yoroslaves, you freaking lying slaves; you still feel everybody is mentally reta.rded like you. Aworats free kpomo education was a waste.

Keep denying it. We know it was true.
