Then let's agree that Boro was an emotional man rather than a visionary leader. Visionary leaders see beyond their emotions, they think strategically, Boro never did.
With the advantage of his hindsight, we can clearly see that he allowed vendetta to guide him to the worn ghost side of history.

In 2011, Igbo leaders could have easily dumped GEJ and take the VP slot the North was throwing in front of us, in accordance to PDP zoning formula, but we didn't. It was a good time to pay the Ijaws in their own coin by teaming up with the same people they teamed up against us, but we resisted that. We saw beyond emotions into the future and today, that Igbo sacrifice is the only reason we are talking of SE/ SS unity.

I believe I had tackled Awo's issue in my last post. He was an insincere person, and after supporting the North to commit a genocide through starvation in the East, he had passed the borders of forgiveness, because there was no guarantee that such a ruthless personality won't do worst in the future.

Awo was never interested in any southern unity, he was a typical Yoruba, sitting on the fence, calculating the likely winner to pitch tent with, it backfired against

Deadlytruth:


Why not just give us that "correct" history rather than keep accusing me of twisting history?

Awo was never interested in any southern unity, he was a typical Yoruba, sitting on the fence, calculating the likely winner to pitch tent with, it backfired against him with Zik,but worked for him against Ojukwu. So stop this trash talk of Awo wanting a southern unity, Awo had always wanted one thing, ie personal power and elevation of his Yoruba group, he would sink the universe to achieve those two aims, when it looked like he couldnt achieve those aims within Nigeria framework, he was anti Nigerian unity, but when it looked like he could, he was pro Nigerian, devising nefarious means to keep Nigeria alive.

On 1979, I don't know what you talking about, because we had Zik on the polls, you don't expect Ndiigbo to leave him and vote for Awo? Ekwueme was never the Igbo candidate, Zik was.
Please which Midwest voted for Awo? Maybe the Edo and the Edoids, I doubt if the Anioma people voted against Zik, who himself is an Anioma son. Perhaps you should stop making generalized statements.

On GEJ, don't know what you are talking about, Akunyili an Igbo woman was at the front of GEJ battle to dislodge Turai's kitchen cabinet, infact I'm beginning to sense that you are a Yoruba man.

You must be ignorant to think that Ndiigbo voted for GEJ simply because he added Azikiwe in his name, infact, you need your head examined for even entertaining that thought for a second. Ndigbo were already the pillar of GEJ government before Ihejirika's appointment.

I am hearing that Ojukwu wanted to kill an imprisoned Adaka Boro before the war for the first time. Please do you have any evidence to prove that? I

Have you heard about how much Canada is making from Oilsand aka Bitumen which is the same thing Ondo state has in abundnce? Go and find out and thank me later.

TBankxx:


[s]All u actually said is totally incorrect. Ur facts totally wrong & embarrassing! First of all oil was first discovered in Bayelsa state & not Ondo.

I should stop here. U relate like one of them misguided youth & i wont join issues. Ur wisdom is too shallow, its clear.. i can measure it. Try and improve & stop rubbing ur ignorance on people faces like what u're doing already on nairaland[/s]

my broda, its not a nice welcome development. What PMB should do is call Jonathan and their leaders to discuss the way forward

Brown Roof, Igbos and Nigeria Deltans are brothers... we want out from Nigeria. Beggars looking for free money, go and sell Cocoa.

emekakelvin:
which person picture them inscribe for the currency? If that man is still alive, I think federal government work is half done. Just locate the man, question him and get every fact you need to know on how to crush this/these militant (s)

cyrilfosy:

Am not of the opinion that there's no money in it don't get me wrong wat am simply trying to say is that it's not crude oil, but one of crude bye product. Bitumen is used for road construction and many other things so definitely there's enough money in there

SleekAboki:

This has gone beyond the level of discussion.Buhari had all the time but was mislead by his advisers about going after tompolo. Jonathan should be wise enough to stay outta this.

Remember how Jonathan drafted buhari to negotiate with boko harem and how he refused?

Have you not read it that Ironsi and Ojukwu were set to execute the death sentence Isaac Boro got? Have you never read it that Ojukwu's squad killed 69 soldiers loyal to Isaac Boro in the 2 weeks Kaiama war? If Ojukwu and Ironsi merely arrested Boro without getting him convicted of treasonable felony, would Boro have gone as far as frustrating Ojukwu's Biafra?

I too have trashed this issue of Awo vs Zik before and given you superior arguements which disproved his alleged sitting on the fence. I took you through a logical analysis to prove that Akintola went entirely on his own to seek a deal with Ahmadu Bello because he was already a friend of the North and a minister in the pre-independence quasi-self government put in place by the whites in 1957 and headed by Balewa hence he obviously preferred to align with the North against his party's all South alliance in order to preserve his ministerial position into the independence government. I also mentioned that Zik's decision to turn around 4 years later to align with the same Awo to form UPGA that sought to displace the North disproved the allegation that Zik believed earlier on that Awo was a fence sitter over the issue of North vs South. If Zik knew Awo was a fence sitter then why turn around to seek a new UPGA coalition with him after earlier rejecting a similar proposal from him?
One might agree that Awo was beyond "forgiveness" after the war. But before the war in 1959 there was practically no reason for Zik to have endangered the entire South just in pursuit of how to get back at him. And mind you that he too could not have come out of prison and joined those who jailed him to fight Gowon who released him. That is practically impossible by any rational individual. Forget the watery arguements that it was Ojukwu who released him from the Eastern prison. The Gowon's order which released Awo also released Enahoro and many others associates of his who were not in Eastern prisons as at that time.

You rather need your head re-examined for claiming that Ndigbo assisted GEJ in his travails under the Turai oppression. Dora Akunyili never initially loved the idea of GEJ's rise to presidency. She was a hard headed Yaradua loyalist. It was reported severally in the papers how she would snob GEJ at executive council meetings while Yaradua still held sway. She only began to feign pro-GEJ protest when it. became all too obvious that Yaradua could not make it again. GEJ of course snobed her too on getting to power, hence she left PDP to join Peter Obi in APGA.
You have however refused to tell me where in Igbo land any pro-GEJ protest was held like the Lagos SNG group did. NONE! And you tell me Igbos identified with GEJ in his trying moments?

The Midwest is 85% Edo and Edoid. So their votes and choices satisfactory represent the entire Midwest. Anioma voted dividedly between Awo and Zik in 1979.
You claim Zik was an Anioma himself? Very ridiculous. So Zik was from the Midwest and no longer the Eastern Region?

If telling you my sincere feelings as to why Zik was guiltier than Awo on the enslavement of the South under the North makes me appear as a Yoruba man in your eyes, then so be it.
I have also argued that Ahmadu Bello and Balewa were was most innocent of the Nigerian tragedy as they made it clear from the beginning that they wanted Nigeria de-amalgamated cos they did not believe in the workability of a country formed by a combination of the Muslim North and Christian South, but that southerners like Zik and Awo persuaded them repeatedly to believe in Nigeria and they finally but reluctantly agreed only for them to be killed in their primes by Southern Soldiers. That somewhat justifies the North's ruthlessness on the South till today. You may therefore also call me a Hausa-Fulani for that, and I still don't care. What I care more about is the objective truth of any issue.

this kind sweet thread they make some people vex

Go and read about Equatorial Guinea.

BTW, Nigeria's total oil reserves (heavy and light oil) is put at about 76 billion barrels; Ondo state alone owns roughly 40 billion barrels of those.

You will argue still, because getting facts across to 'sincerely ignorant' people is like baptizing a cat.

ItsMeAboki:


LOL, with this development e like say some ppl go dey smiling for outside but dey cry from inside.

Who dey fear, abeg let the break up begin, we in the north have been expecting it and preparing for it for a long time (back track to the Lamido of Adamawa during the recent SNC); pickin wey say im mama no go sleep him ma no go sleep.

NDA make una dey blow up more pipelines and pollute una region and begin drink una oyel, we no care again as majority of our ppl no dey benefit from this una oyel, na only about 5% a small fraction within our elites will suffer; meanwhile just imagine how small thing like our ordinary tomato dey cause una impact; the power of our agriculture is yet to be felt - no shaking.

jujunaty:
my dear, that man is long gone.. That is Isaac Boro. Its just like saying they shld go and arrest ojukwu

iHustle:


Swallow your tomatoes. We have alternatives.

Light oil is cheaper to produce and more valuable than heavy oil. You go and read about Venezuela.

compujyde:


Sure!

And I think they are not alone (fifth-column fully involved) judging by the stealthiness of their operations and early warnings by the West (UK) against military engagement.

It seems this nation has already been "shared" by the western nations and it's time to make real their plan since Jonathan's unexpected handover delayed it.

In all, bloodshed should just be avoided in the name of God.
