pazienza: Isn't it a public knowledge that the british supported nigerian military attack on biafra by supplying arms and other military logistics to nigeria army,including hiring egyptians for air strikes.

In view of these facts,why would anyone care about what british propanganda machine have to say about biafra,isn't this like seeking for the dead among the living. What would you expect a british newspaper like the guardian to say about biafra? Some people are just plain stupid. SMH.

pazienza: The story of a fair yoruba lady escaping being lynched by the blood thirsty yoruba mob,because they thought she was igbo was really interesting. I just posted the story in my facebook page,and you can't believe the reaction that i am getting from our brothers and sisters in the south west.

I think we need to create a biafra story site,where we can get our elders who escaped lagos to biafra to tell us about their ordeal. Those young igbos running around lagos claiming omo yoruba,need to see the bigger picture.

coogar:

you are a disgrace.....
what about the fact that the international community were able to broker a deal between biafra and federal government? this deal was an offer to ojukwu to open a road corridor for food to be transported to the suffering igbo civilians - but ojukwu turned down the deal! he insisted food should be flown into biafra instead under the cover of darkness so he could smuggle more arms and what-not......ojukwu's pride and his cravings for the propaganda the pictures of those malnourished kids created was responsible for the genocide!

Shut up. Stop spreading british and nigerian press propaganda here.

The nigeran army despite all the british support and egyptian air raids couldn't break biafra down,so they resorted to using the guise of food supply to penetrate biafra,which the wise ojukwu recognized and rightly refused. It was nigerian govt that decided to stop charitable organizations from bringing food into biafra. Try harder next time, nonsense!

Aigbofa:


Absolute bunkum. As if there are no light skinned Yorubas! There's more to this story.

You frustrated folks may continue with the ad hominem attacks and I am just going to keep hitting you with facts.

Hehe! It is very hard to see a light skined yoruba,even in this modern era when the whole nigeria is taping into the igbo DNA by rushing to marry our fair skined beautiful ladies. I once went to ogbomosho,i thought i was in ghana,apart from the few bleached ones,they were all very dark skin, and this was in 2006, i can only imagine how they would have looked like in 1960's when the igbo gene theft haven't been that evident.

The meds have worn off what a shame

shymexx: Achebe:

- Awolowo tricked Igbos into oing to war with Nigeria...
- Awolowo never did nothing to avert the war[b](bear in mind that the man in prison during the couple and counter coup)[/b].
- Awolowo and his Yoruba people were trying to displace the "superior" Igbos who dominated everything...
- Nnamdi Azikwe was the only pan-Africanist among his peers[b](that's laughable because Azikwe was the most tribalistic and corrupt)[/b].

Chimanda:
- The Igbo adults "say" and "said" Awolowo was "this" and "that."
- Igbos are marginalised[b](despite being the highest number of number citizens in Nigeria since independence)[/b].
- Awolowo betrayed Igbos(however, Igbos love Awolowo so much that they colluded with NPC to lock him up in prison).
- Yorubas never showed Igbos empathy about their loss(es) during the civil war(no abandoned property saga in the SW and welcomed you back to their midst, what else do you want?)

Personally, I think Igbos are "in love" with Yoruba people, however, Yoruba people don't really give two fvcks about them and their plight..Perhaps, that's why they can't get over the victim mentality and the blame game... However, you can't blame the Yorubas because they don't really like the mentality and temparent of Igbos - they probably think Igbos are too brash, aggressive, and arrogant - to form any kind of bond with, but they can tolerate Igbos just as they tolerate everyone else... Yoruba people are deep thinkers and peace loving people - and you need similar characteristics to form a special bond with them..

For christ sake! How many times do i have to drum this into mgbati people's ear?

Awolowo was an ambitious,lazy,treacherous and power hungry yoruba man,who tried to usurp balewa's govt,he was busted and rounded up like a criminal he was,the civil war saved his sorry ass,as he was released from the prison,and his sins pardoned.

But the mgbati spirit in him never left him,he still craved for power,he was promised power the british,but when he felt he had been shortchanged,he repeated his act of treason again,by trying to usurp IBB,but this time around,he couldn't face the shame of admitting to the world that he committed treason like he did in the past.

So,he drank otapiapia,and died without honour,like all men before him who trodded the path of treachery,dishonesty and wickedness.

THE END.

Cheers - that's why he'll forever be celebrated....

Making the cover of the Time Magazine isn't a joke...

Lie - Anything written that does not fit with Biafran propaganda. For instance, Ntieyong Akpan (secretary to Biafran Government) wrote lots of 'lies' in his book (struggle for secession) because he stated that Biafra received payments from relief agencies and that Biafra dealt with those who didn't want Biafra

Truth - Anything said by Ojukwu and Achebe

Starvation - The result of my enemy not allowing me to smuggle in arms with aid so that starving children could eat even though I have no food to give them

War and Battles - Wrestling contest between the 5 strongest warriors from the North and the East; the west must stay neutral or join me even when I throw stomes at them

Secession - The bid to leave the union which must involve the western region whether they like it or not

Nationalism - Killing non-Igbos while Igbos were cruising in the Caribbean and forgeting your GPS so that you don't know the way to Ironsi, Nwafor Orizu, Osadebey, Okpara's houses

Heroism - Killing soldiers with their pregnant wives as they slept in the middle of the night

Well, that is a fair compensation for his service to the western powers,but i am sure that the power hungry 'sage' would have prefered the power he craved for and that they promised him.

Oh dear! Atall atall na im be winsh. Hehe!

shymexx: ^^^^^He parted the Nigerian red sea with his brain....

coogar:

you speak absent wisdom!
ojukwu wanted to use the propaganda of the kwashiorkor kids to draw sympathy from the international community but it backfired! he allowed the starvation to happen and when he was offered a way out, he turned it down and was demanding for food to be ferried by air under the cover of darkness! why in the night and not in the broad day light?

pazienza:

Yea,just like he parted his spirit from his body with the aid of otapiapia aka rat poison. This 'sage' must have been a reincarnation of the hebrew moses. Hehe!

shymexx:

So, it's about light skinned vs dark skinned now, no??

I bet if you knew why there are many light-skinned Igbos, you'll cry for their ancestors...

The Egbas just like Igbos have a high population of light-skinned folks(I know this because my grandma is an Egba woman and she looks mixed race) - and go read about why they're light-skinned smh..
