Awo died with the truth? Get your facts right. He committed suicide!

dayokanu:

What can Andre Uweh do? Andre Uweh aka Tomakint, Abadaba, ngodigha has been outed already, Get busy and create another username. This time claim Ibibio or Edo cos studying in UI is not enough to be Yoruba.

Igbo kwenu? Umi Igbo? Why are you so ashamed of your ancestry that you have decided to claim Yoruba.

Is being Igbo that shameful. Amadioha ko Amalinze the cat ni

Bros Walahi Allah kwa.
So you read THINGS FALL APART and enjoyed it, and you dont want to believe a book written by the same author because he said the truth? Guy grow up pls.

ba7man: I'm back. Been reading up on the Biafran Civil war on Google. True, a blockade was effected but why did Ojukwu reject the aids when they were later allowed in?? He seemed more concerned about securing planes for his bombing campaign and weapons. At that point, he was detached from the realities of the war. He was more adept at leading troops. I also confirmed it that it was the Nigerian Airspace that aids was attempted to be delivered to Biafra. Ojukwu should have worked out an alternate route through Cameroon (An option that's glaring) since France was sympathetic to the Biafran cause. Ojukwu was probably too focused on the war front to realize his people were dying.

ba7man: I'm here to learn too nd I'm seeing another side to this whole thing. But are you sure the whole international community would have agreed to sit back and watch Awo carry out the total blockade? Biafra had allies too and they supplied weapons, why not food too?

la cosa nostra: DAYOKANU,EKO ILE,let me say dis about achebe and d nobel prize,do u guys knw angle of racism in him not winning d nobel prize nd do u guys knw how many people hv rejected d noble prize of literature with d way u guys talk about it.

Mcdondayan:
My brother go and read again. Why do you think Nigeria lost Bakassi to Cameroon? When you find the answer, come back.

ba7man: I'm back again ooo......Funny how planes were bringing in weapons but no food. Looks like a case of misplaced priority. And there was no total blockade, read these excerpts." The Biafrans were swift to understand the importance of air power and to start organizing a rag-tag air force, as well as using transport aircraft for bringing supplies of weapons into the country. Regular flights of Air Trans Africa DC-7s from South Africa were undertaken already since the summer of 1966: other aircraft operated from Portugal, via Portuguese Guinea (today Guinea-Bissau), and Cameroon. In October 1966, for example, a Royal Air Burundi DC-4M Argonaut, flown by a mercenary Henry Wharton alias Heinrich Wartski, crash landed at Garoua, in Cameroun....

abouzaid: Biafra was invaded so stop saying that they started d war.

abouzaid: my friend in all honesty u don't sound like an unbiased scholar, and ur really shallow on d facts of d civil war. Educating u would need reading a lot of books,saying nigeria should fly in food through cameroon is d most ignorant post of d yr so far. Also at d time of session, nigeria have no air force pilots while biafra have both indigenous and friendly pilots, u should read up on how nigeria gained air superiority, red cross planes were actually shot down over biafra territory, read up. Biafra was invaded so stop saying that they started d war. If u know little then stop posting till u know better.

abouzaid: guy ur really sounding ignorant and asking for an ewar, u should read about the genesis of hunger in biafra. The first place kwashiokor occured was at asaba under general murtala muhammed. That place is not biafra but the ppl were igbos, u should also read about d genocide he committed there. Mind u they are nigerians not biafrans. Any more ignorant post from u, and u would recieve d flak ur asking for

sleek29: Yes Nigeria didn't fight fair, but Ojukwu had zero military intellect, he ended up being disgraced and sent 3M people to their graves, how do you go into a war without proper study of how you intend to feed your people if you depend on 1. Nigerian airspace, 2. Nigerian waterways for your supplies, allies are very important, the least he could have done was to be sure he could count on cameroon, america wouldn't be able to do anything in the middle east if they don't have the likes of pakistan and saudi arabia. Fine Nigerian government lead my Gowon caused the genocide but Ojukwu is very much culpable for being all bragging and no planning

klax: The jobless criers has come again with his silly post to heat up the house. Joblessness is a real bad thing and can make some a pure lunatic.

Seun or any moderator in the house kindly block this i d i o t who came here again today to raise this nonsense issue. Civil is dead and that is the end of the story whoever want to die because of civil 1966 can go and hug transformer. I'm so sick and angry waking up everyday to see a better thing to read and talk about on this site than a topic that will ends up as tribal jabs and stupidity.

ba7man: Someones getting angry....nyways, the Nigerian troops had the habit of destroying farmlands so that resulted in the unavailability of food. My gripe is why fly in weapons only when u can also fly in food. At least I'v provided evidence that flights could enter via Cameroon. Provide me with counter points not telling me I'm ignorant, I don't think Igbo people are insultive, haughty and think people are below them but u r starting to play by that book.

Mad Cow: Soyinka is a Nobel Prize winning drug addict and Yoruba cultist...

ba7man: I so agree with you. Truely, Nigeria played dirty but food supply and allies are essential factors of warefare and Ojukwu ignored this and 3 million people paid the price. I have reached a conclusion, thank you.

klax: Please for goodness I beg every Benin, Yoruba and Hausa in the House to just ignore whatever any of my kinsmen is saying as per Biafra let my fellow men go back to my statement few days ago and answer all the question I asked their. Since some of my own people refused to wake up and leave the past and moved on let whoever want to die because of Biafra die is as simple as that.

I'm getting provoked day by day if not the warning my dad warned me in relation to discussion as per Biafra I would have done the unthinkable because the anger and vexation is boiling inside me for so long against the ojukwu's this man called Ojukwu made me not to have a single uncle till today by forcefully came to my grandparent HOME IN THE THEN village and took my supposed uncleS(FIVE YOUNG MEN) away to fight war and never return and Ojukwu kids are there with plenty uncles, Aunties, large family with lot of money and wealth isnit? And someone is here wanting FOR me to Hate Yoruba or Hausa who were the not the one that took my suppose to be uncleS away, who did not send us to war in the first place?

The truth this anger is burning inside me day and night its like a nightmare in my blood. I got no deal with Awolowo or Gowon I dont bloody care who a heel they are all I care about is Ojukwu because his boys were the ones that came to my grandparent home and took my uncles away and none ever return till today so its Ojukwu I have a deal with and I need explanation from him orelse one good day someone will pay for this anger inside me for sure.

Anybody can call me any names I dont give a f u c k and damn it, what pains me is waht am saying is not Yoruba, Hausa, Gowon, Soyinka etc all these are just bloody irrelevant. So if any one want to die because of Biafra I repeat go ahead and die for a man who went to war selfishly without due consultation. Die because of a man that left Billion worth of wealth for his kids and you are here sleeping in poverty and still ranting hell, Die for 1966 long dead issue in 2012 good for you but for me I will not and never HATE Yoruba or Hausa because of Biafra never and never because they did not send us to war or asked to go to war ok.

ba7man: OOOhhhhh.....So[b] Biafra was aware that their supply planes were still at the mercy of Nigerian airspace and expected Nigeria to allow them use it C'mon. Even the United states will bomb all supply lines, road, rail, airports etc during wars. Its warefare, its only logical. Why did it have to be Nigerian airspace they must use?[/b]? The sky is big enough for a billion alternate routes, what of the sea?? See?? I'm reasoning here not arguing blindly.
