These pointlessb of a guy i dont even understand you. Why did you start these thread. I am yet to figure out whom you are and what you represent. In your bid to defend you and your cohorts, you call ndigbo a fish in the can and unwise. In your bid to humiliate us and insult our senses, you dig out unreasonable articles like these. Whom are you and what do you represent? You might think am trying to misunderstand the article, no, but you really have a hidden agenda. Time will tell. PointB: |

Segun has finally realized there are two sides to a coin. Iloh's story has now been put in proper context thus exposing the underpinning guile and artifice. Since the credibility of the story is now in question, I am not surprised he is backing out of the biafran nonsense. |

Since the credibility of the story is now in question, I am not surprised he is backing out of the biafran nonsense. At no point did segun even suggest any guile in Iloh's story. He is calling for a balanced view from both sides. Highlight this assertion if you can because I can see it |

Please can you change the thread topic to 'THE IDEA THAT SOMEONE IS A DETRIBALIZED NIGERIAN IS A BIG FRAUD' please or I will be forced to reopen the thread myself. Thats the only thing most important in the article. Thanks for highlighting those words by the way, I couldn't have bothered to read an article by a yorobaman on biafra and the events unless its from Wole Soyinka or Gani Fawehinme of blessed memory. |

nku5: If you can see it, what is there to highlight again? He was called to listen to and appreciate a supposedly "detribalised" Nigerian personal history of Biafra. A brief article was written on what supposed to be truly authentic and factual but a factual rebuttal demonstrated that Iloh's actually chose to remember selectively and in substantial terms falsely. Iloh demonstrated a convenient volitional case of amnesia. The so called "detribalised" Nigerian ended up being a fraud and the prospect of exploring a memoir from his story is no longer exciting. Simple In any case, there could not have been a "detribalised" Nigerian because the word itself does not exist. 2 Likes |

Since the credibility of the story is now in question, I am not surprised he is backing out of the biafran nonsense. On the contrary Segun and Agbakoba have made a powerful pitch that the issue of Biafra should be revisted. According to segun, phrases like let 'let sleeping dog lie' and "let's move on' etc will never achieve anything meaningful. Unless you read something else, but this article is suggesting that the issue of Biafra need a leader bold enough to discuss it and bring the matter to closure. Don't tell you did not read Agbakoba submission that contrary the distorted Nigeria story, the Jan 1966 coup was never an Igbo coup! Nzeogwu never represented Igbo in idiosyncrasy, his connection to Igbo is merely by name. Biafra connote of very powerful part of Nigeria's history. Resolving the issue conclusively, is the only path the peace and progress in Nigeria. To insist on letting sleeping dogs lie, is a pretentious hogwash which will never bode well for Nigeria. In the next 100 years, literature of Biafra story (several versions) will be available online for our grandchildren to read. The scale of atrocities committed will certainly pitch my grandchildren against yours. Time to prevent such from happening is now, or peace continue to elude us all! 1 Like |

Prof Corruption: Sorry I meant to say "can't" see it. Contrary to most what most of what you posted Segun has not called Rev Iloh dishonest or inferred any of the things you have stated. The only thing disputed so far has been by agbakoba who didn't like the way Rev Iloh described his father's actions. So please highlight the parts where Segun as you said "turns his back" on the biafra issue |

1966 coup wasn't an igbo coup but was done by igbos and literally handed power to the igbos and targeted mainly non igbos, in fact igbos actually boasted to northerners then of how they killed their father, the igbos can continue to play the victim card but they were many non ibgo victims in the war, and pretending that there isn't won't earn you anybody's sympathy! |

My fears are that the ethnic sentiments, before, during and after the coup, the counter and the war are still here with us./ Why cant we separate in peace and have Biafra? |

Prof Corruption:Did u actually read the same article I read?.Where is the rebuttal to Iloh's account?.Highlight the paragraph. n line please cos I can't see it.Agbakoba only situated the part as concern his father in it proper context.Aside that wth are u talking about? 2 Likes |

Prof Corruption: Ill form of education is another great danger to African societies. There was no slight essence of detribalized sentiments or undisputable facts about Rev. Moses Iloh’s personal account of the Nigeria/Biafra war and thereafter. In addition, there is no contradicting schism towards Iloh’s account from Olisa Agbakoba. In Biafra, Iloh was member of Red Cross while Olisa Agbakoba was a soldier. Even if the two were soldiers, they can not give identical accounts of the war since they might have fought in different sectors of the war. I had raised the same pointer when arguing with those who readily quote out of Madiebo’s book. Granted Madiebo was CAOS of Biafran Army, he was never present in every sector of the war. Again, Rev. Moses Iloh’s brief encounter with Olisa’s father after war was peculiar incident which only Iloh or Olisa’s old count can attest. Where is the imaginary rebuttal insinuated by the poster in the above post? |
