OkoYibo:


I am very much pained by the death of this man simply for one reason: he inspired courage, hope, resillience and bravery in his men. Looking at the Armed Forces, this is an extremely rare trait that a lot of even the senior Generals, Marshals and Admirals lack.

I just hope his officers and men can pick themselves and turn their sorrow into anger and use it to pour hellfire on the terrorists.

One more thing, I don't believe this hero was killed by the terrorists. There are fifth-columnists in the Army who betrayed him.

BenBruce4Presdt:



Forget this old rants..

Why don't you also say, because Igbos own the world they should continue to enjoy the rotten egg being fed to them by this dead nation..

I don't have anything personal with the dead soldier , the same way I don't give a hutt that he died...

Nigeria Army is also guilty of atrocious acts against me and he is a member of NA..
Anything that made them die is of no concern to me..
You all cheered them when the killed innocent protesters just because they were Igbos and expect me to understand one Nigeria simply because you all over the years think Igbos are fools..

He died, he died.. I don't bloody care!

Note; Pls suck-up ur sermon of what Igbos stand to loose if the contraption contracts completely..
Igbos have lost much more being here..

NOTHING CAN BE COMPARED.. NOTHING!!!

His last words:
Be alert and stay alive for I don't want any of my soldiers to get injured or lose his life, if some1 should go down let that person be me.

that bokoharam attack was carried out purposely to kill col Ali.

he was the target! and from the look of things, i can guess that those released bokoharam leaders are the perpetrators of the act bc they where arrested by col. ali.

Government should stop further negotiations with bokoharam but rather declare an all out war with the terrorists and those involved in the negotiations on their behalf!

col ali's murder is a big plus to the terrorist and a heavy loss to the Nigerian army no matter how many of the terrorists that was killed during the attack!

the army should deploy all means to avenge the death of this gallant young officer!


this col's death really pained me so much!

This isn't a issue of pdp or apc matter . Apc is the one turning it into a political propaganda game.
The issue is Nigeria is at war, secondly is the issue of salaries and allowances not been paid on time,many soldiers have been complaining about this for years,thirdly is the issue of obsolete weapons and equipments which needs to be addressed and lastly is the issue of morale. Now the government in power now complained and campaigned against the last government that it failed in all these areas and that they can do better ,now they are there and the same problems still persists. Whose fault? Wailers ? NO
This officer has been at the battle front for 4 years and had requested to be rotated but was refused by the army,there are even reports that he was beginning to have hearing problems and requested to leave for medical attention but was denied . Whose fault?wailers ?

nwaanambra1:


ordinarily i don't reply quotes- but i just have this deep urge to give u a reply.

first, col Ali and the other soldier you saw on this topic are 'deep' professional soldiers called "special forces" they don't have time for civilians, in fact they are always at the war front - i mean always! sometimes they are given only two weeks leave once in six months to go see their families and after that two weeks they are back at the war front.

they are deployed only where the heat is really hot! in fact these guys are sooo trained that when they leave war front they dress fully in civilian attire and even if you tell him 'waka' he wouldn't even reply you cause he value every free time he has - so no time for a civilian like u.

the truth is, NO SOLDIER WHO HAS BEEN TO THE WAR FRONT HAS TIME TO FROG JUMP ANY CIVILIAN. the soldiers you see doing gra-gra in the streets are those who has not witnessed any real fire in the front line.

as for col ali, he has never been to the east even on visit talk less of being deployed to the east. in fact, if 40% of Nigerian soldiers are as brave and gentle and humane as col ali, then the Nigerian army would av been among the top 10 best army in the world.

As for the misled ipob youths that where mascaraed, it is really sad - but the fact is, no one gave nnamdi kanu the right to speak nor represent the igbo nation - therefore he deserves to pay heavily for the death of those poor misguided youths.


meanwhile, while u r fighting for biafra, you should remember that ndi igbo owns 48% of properties and investments in Abuja and Lagos, 30% of properties and investments in Kano and Kaduna, 25% of properties and investments in the middle belt, 23% of properties and investment in the south and 17% of properties and investments in the far north. by estimate, we own 56% of properties and investments in the entire Nigeria - in other words, we are supposed to be the major agitators of one Nigeria or we will end up great losers in life!

and for the misguided ones like you, i will advice you to go do something useful with your life - the day we will desire to leave the contraption called Nigeria, i dont think we will contract the likes of kanu to speak on our behalf.

meanwhile, visit this topic and after going thru it, come back here and tender a public apology to the departed real hero of our time!

so sad. Rest in Peace Sir. May God comfort the wife and family. It is not easy. Ive not gotten over mine that happened few months ago. I still feel the hurt every moment. He sacrificed his life for the peace of the Land. May the Lord let his peace reign in our land.

Thanks for the sacrifice Sir. And to all fallen HEROs Including my Husband, YOU ALL SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. So many young widows and fatherless children courtesy of Boko Haram

If you expect sympathy from people who hurt you by dancing on the grave of their dead comrade then you will only get more hatred.
This is not what Igbo is or stand for.
It is miscreants and mildly learned Igbo folks like you that pass half truths, mere conjectures and lies about other tribes to illiterate ones back home and the hate keep growing. The soldiers that killed Ipob guys can also kill their mothers if they are instructed to do sowere lpso the blame goes to whoever gives the orders and certainly that is not this dead lt. Colonel.
In our villages in Igboland no one will allow you to intimidate an Hausa or Yoruba man because he is not Igbo. Likewise while serving in Nasarawa State, a village leader almost ostracized a thug for ganging up with his friends for during to come to my residence at night to threaten me. Things are not just black or white as you guys paint it in Nigeria.
Sure there is hatred from across tribes but only few unlettered and less traveled guys practice it.
It is only here in nairaland that jobless bigots from across Nigeria sees enough privacy to air their bigotry.
The OP (if that is him in military attires) himself looks like an Igbo folk and that will tell you alot of things and assuming the Lt. Col is still alive and you say all this your nonsense in his face, he wont mind shooting you because friendship comes first before tribe or race.

Is there a systemic marginalization of Igbos in Nigerian Government? I believe so.
Is biafra the solution? I dont believe so. Why?

Biafra experience wont be different from the current Nigeria experience because nepotism, tribalism (yea!) and corruption will not just vanish because of re-demarcation of borders and someone will start feeding someone else with the same rotten egg you just complained about.

Is Nnamdi kanu an Igbo leader? Hell No!!!!

BenBruce4Presdt:


Are you serious!

Stop your this nonsense ..
You think people just make decisions without reasons..

I don't care about your sentiments and I certainly don't care about any other individual or tribes' position about Igbos..

Please, Igbos aren't expecting sympathy from anyone or group in Nigeria..

This tribal cards has long been played on Igbos and until recently we started turning and toying with the same card which they have used in colonizing all govt institutions to their favor and to our detriment..

I refuse to play this cowardly game you are proposing and must at all times tell those who secretly sees me as their enemy of their intentions to avoid surprises..

The only problem here is me playing the same tribal card they have always flashed at me..

From your write up, it's obvious you are very young or you are yet to truly deepen your association with all these wicked people or best, you are one of them pretending as usual to score cheaply..

I don't need to stress myself telling you things about myself, reason I wear this tribal card close to my chest..

Please, it's not my intention to interfere with your beliefs and I advise you quit trying to be reasonable with me on issues of bigotry and tribalism as it relates to Nigeria scene..

People like you could mull over your pains and shake hands with your oppressors.. But the oppressor should never think everyone was gonna end his tyranny with the shake of hands which (cowardice) is the difference between you and I..
I respect your views but, I promise you that this country has been cooking dangerously and it will sooner or later boil out..

On Nnamdi Kanu, I'm surprised at the unwarranted mention.. What's his business here?

if you are not the miscreant, I don't see reason why you should on a faceless forum tag someone who could feed your entire village a miscreant..

Before you take this dance of shame too far digest the information below..

TruthisGOD:
May I ask you whom do think is your Igbo leader that has your interest? That is willing to sacrifice his life for a cause? Is it these your political job hustlers? My friend swerve!

Hungry rant!

1sq inch of land you don't even have as rent in 'your' Lagos..

Boy, mix corn and some grass for lunch this afternoon...I promise this recession will only be but a story to ur ear..

vankaid:

If there is any Igbo person willing to sacrifice his life for igbo cause, that person definitely not Nnnamdi Kanu. If you have any proof to support your claim, tender it.
See, I started listening to RB long before most of you guys and if you were listening to him earlier and you are objective enough you will understand that he is a man that is nothing close to most people believe he is today.
I wont start going into details because it will appear as if I also support that he is being detained illegally or some empty brained non Igbo bigots will start dancing here that Igbo people are on self destruct and it wont lend any help to the message I am trying to pass. It is simply the cluelessness of FG that shot him to the fame he is enjoying today.
But lemme remind you that there is a reason it is said that "Igbo anaghi enwe eze".
Ikemba did not take his position by himself and from nowhere make himself a "Director".
Eastern paliament actually sat and gave him that position to lead the Igbos to fight the killings across the country and after the war even with all respect his name command in Igbo land no one still regarded him as a leader. This is a man Kanu cannot untie his sandals.

Whenever people take positions on their own and start asking for "facilities" to enable them to their job, ol boy, if you are trully a full bred nwafo you should know better.
Abeg make we end that talk for here.
