Those saying were no atrocities committed in the Mid-West are simply dishonest and funny. How many times do I need to post STORIES of it on NL? http://www.dawodu.net/midwest.htm What about the BOMBING of Lagos (the state we all call home now)?? http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=qQZdAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FloNAAAAIBAJ&dq=lagos%20bombed&pg=795%2C2201295 http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=g2tWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=B-kDAAAAIBAJ&dq=biafra%20lagos&pg=5339%2C2590839 You pro-biafrans are on a long thing cause everyone of us (non-Biafrans) see the lies passed down to you by your fathers and the Achebes of your society, and we simply laugh at your ignorance and gullibility.

Anyway we know that u guys re waiting for the north to take over again so u continue taking Nigeria backwards shameless people People like you "dont get it at all"! Look at it this way: 1.) No one tribe can "win the Presidency" all by its own people's vote. You need the votes from another region. 2.) Events in the recent past has shown that the "North" is sworn NEVER to allow an Igbo to lead this country! 3.) The North would rather collaborate with the Yorubas (in a situation where they cant occupy Aso Rock) to make a Yoruba President, than do same with an Igbo man. Thus, the ONLY CHANCE an "Igbo" has of becoming Nigeria's President, is to court the Yorubas for their votes! Not even "Guns" can cut it 'cos, we all canbear "arms" if need be! It may just be another rehash of 1967, God forbid sha I know simple things ain't that obvious ...... and "obvious things ain't that simple" but the earlier the better my Igbo friends see this, the quicker we can work together! A wise person does not "cut-off his own Nose,just to spite his Face", for Gawd's sake! (shakes head in disbelief!) Lastpage! 4 Likes |

Moreover, wasn't Achebe the Biafran Minister of Communication?? He knows the power of Propaganda and he used it effectively during the war (tell my fellow country men of the SEastern orgin that they were winning, when in fact, they were losing and starving) and after the war (with his books). Its a shame that such a man can descend so low.... |

Smooyis: I think he is objective in his comment. He wrote like a more refined and civilized igbo man. A humble and intelligent thinker. Igbos should emulate him and give room for reasoning. We need one another. Why are many so stupid not to recognise dis. The north smiles and rejoices each time we confront ourselves. The ibos are the enemies of themselves. They say things that cause others to continually hate them. Or is it a curse? They should stop thinking they are better, or can do it all alone. Enough of all dis tribal acrimonies! may Sango thunder blaster your family. Ewu Yoruba. Who needs your love? |

It does not in anyway disprove the fact that Awolowo took a decision that cost 3million innocent lives of mainly children.Sometihing he lay claim to by Saying "All is Just in war as a weapon".He rejoiced by claiming that the war ended so quick and that Igbos should thank him. And some people are here defending the indefencible.The reactions of Yorubas ,the Igbos know and feel that,they have the tendency to do the worse if the same opportunity arises. |

felifeli: Ewu. See Yoruba man reasoning. So I should live my life based on the decisions of the children of Achebe and Ojukwu? This is the reason you are backwards and can never understand the igbo man. You think we are yourselves that worship your kings and kabiyesis. We are individualistic republicans. We fought the war not because of Ojukwu nor Achebe but because it was the right thing to do at that time. At least the children of igbo leaders are doing well. Where are the children of Yoruba jailbird leaders? |

Tafugo: Wow, standing ovation for the Dr.Yorubas have a proverb 'Kokoro ton je efo into efo longbe'. ie the ant that is eating the vegetable lives inside the vegitable.Ndigbo should look inwards and stop the blame game, do not alinieate everyone and on the same breadth be thinking of an Igbo presidency ,use your head and be wise. I remember Ojukwu's quote and tribute when Awo died " the best President Nigeria never had" it's time to sheath the sword and move on guys. So you never knew that that quote was a mockery that came out of Ojukwus lips when it became clear that Awolowo could no longer be president,part of the reasons he fought against Biafra. For those that defende Awolowo,let me ask. 1)Why did Awolowo interprete and persuade Gowon to reject Aburi accord. 2)Why did Awolowo starve civilians in the cities captured by the federal troops durring the war starved alongside those that they intend to capture. 3)Why did he say that all was just in war. 4)Why did he not advice Gowon to withdraw Adekunle scorpion for his love for killking women and children. Look I have observed one thing over the years as a rule of the thumb for yorubas.Yorubas do not respect ,value or appreciate things that are not theirs.They don't give a damn about the 3million lives in question.They do not bulge cos its not theirs.It is even evident in nairaland.Reason I was not surprised at the reaction. How can u reject an airlift of foods and drugs from a neutral country.Many questions have not be answered by those who consider Awolowo a saint or suicide matrya. |

The yoruba tribe will try to avoid a conflict as much as possible but if it comes to it...Talk of calculative decimation..One man, one idea, 3 million dead. Trust me, you don't want it with the Yoruba tribe. This goes to prove my point that Yorubas love the 3million death tragedy.The true reason they celebrate Awolowo as a hero.They love it because those lives are not their children. Ha! Ha!

samkoro:Majority Yoruba? Can you mention 5 Yoruba men in this majority Yoruba led force? You see, unlike you tribal monkeys, Yorubas are not driven by tribal sentiments. It is easy to see through the tribal move made by Ojukwu here (which sometimes makes it difficult to believe this was a Cambridge graduate). He thought simply putting a so called Yoruba man (Victor Banjo was actually a Mid-Westerner) as the head of the force would make the force he led receptive by the Yorubas. Yet at the same time he had undermined the command of the same Victor Banjo by sending Igbo soldiers led by a Mid-Western Igbo officer - Lt Col Ochei - with specific tasks which Banjo was unaware of (one of which was to capture the Governor of the Mid-Western region - Lt Col David Ejoor - dead or alive but who managed to escape). Is that the majority Yoruba force you speak of? So it was the Yoruba men in the force that committed the atrocities in the Mid-West? Try again. 1 Like |

Are u dumb?What we wanted was for him to stay out if he is not fighting,but he did not.He rather chose to take sides and ended up murdering 3million innocent lives which the Yoruba nation cherished and still celebrates till today.The great Awo.

logica: Majority Yoruba? Can you mention 5 Yoruba men in this majority Yoruba led force? What prompted the western invasion in the first place?where was Gowon commanding from? The West was never considered an enemy as at the time,the reason why Banjo was given charge. You already knew that it was the presence of northern troops in the west that prompted the move. Ok ,let's assume there was no northern troop in the West.Would Biafran soldiers be spending time,energy,live and other resources going to the west? for what? Under such circumstances,the West would probably side with Biafra or completely abstain ,according to the reason they gave about the presence of northern troops. Biafran soldiers would have headed north cos that's where the northern command would have come from. Its the simple truth.Let's stop denying this over and over again.The Yorubas can't wash off the stain ,even with an acid.So just live it,to be part of you. |

samkoro:Banjo was given which charge? He was simply a figure head. He could only blame himself for the mess he found himself. I noticed you could not provide JUST 5 Yoruba officers in this majority Yoruba led force. From the lies you throw around, I really shouldn't take you serious. And once again, what part of "negotiations were going on to move the Northern troops in the West to the North" don't you understand? Western leaders were already handling this. Nobody asked Ojukwu for "liberation". Even worse, he started his "liberation" move without informing the Western leaders who till this point he gave the impression were allies. Who in his right mind, especially in a military sense does this? Even far worse, we are aware of what his unruly bunch did in the Mid-West. In war, you make sudden and rash moves and you lose.
