Can you counter his statement about the the bombing of the casino cinema in Lagos and stop trying to derail.
He can't, because they have been programmed to just cry victim all the time.

You are shameless and trying hard to defend your tribe atrocities. The same way you guys have been hiding how you bombed casino cinema in Lagos. You think people are fool. You think God is foolish. And you never wonder why God refused to answer una prayers since all these years.


Is this a fiction or nightmare? Where you and ilk the only people who resided in Lagos during the bombing raid? This is one of the reasons Nigeria should be disintegrated. It takes the duty of honesty to create a compatriot.

Lol, poor academic standard. In the history of the country, only students from my region have made a total of 5.0 cgpa mark. We aren't talking of miracle centres here.

You can't say anything about it because you be kid.
The world knows, the SS people know about your atrocities against them. Your victim cry not working since the war ended. If truly you people are free from this atrocities, God would have vindicated you. But because he's not foolish, he refuse to listing to your victim cry cos he himself knows you guys are just common victim criers.

The casino bombing in in our memories and we will forever hate you for that. You guys deserved the death and pains that ojukwu brought to you.

God is not foolish.

UN report no dey lie...We are talking about the Niger Delta here. Stop crawling into my mentions looking for attention. Just open a thread to discuss it.

3 people died and several injured in the Casino Cinema bombing and i am not sure if it was proved who was even behind it.

But the whole world knows that a man named Col Taiwo personally supervised the genocide in Asaba (his men killed and raped thousands of people, wiping out an entire generation of men). In the course of the war you people bombed and levelled almost every hospital, school or market all over Igboland and justified it as part of war but you also want to cry here? Please GTFOH and find some shame tongue

My take on this Calabar killing;

In my own concern, the only people who killed Calabars or minorities were Nigerian forces in minimal amounts.
You claimed Biafrans killed you. Researches have being made and documented that 30% of Biafran soldiers were of Ibiobio origin, the remaining 70% were Igbos, Ijaws, Annangs, western Igbos etc. If you can blame the Igbos for killing you, blame the Ijaws, Annangs ,Ibiobios because they too were in the army.

Y'all will make Biafran an Igbo thing when it suits you. For instance, when a non Igbo say Biafrans were killed in millions, Efiks will say not only Igbos are Biafrans. But when a tread says Biafrans killed Calabars, y'all will say the Biafrans are only Igbos. What about the other minorities in the army?

Your fathers won't tell you how Biafrans rescued 250000 Efiks in Ikot Ekpene from Nigerian forces but you are quick to spread propaganda.

I saw a document which stated " Biafrans killed people at Okene". Many will think it was Igbos that killed them but the leader of that division of the Biafran army was a mid western called Ivenso. Ojukwu never gave him such order.

They will tell you Biafrans killed them but were they really BIAFRANS? How did you know they were Biafrans? Through the emblem at the shoulder not the language.
They won't tell you how some Nigerian troops dressed and disguised like Biafrans army. Click the link below to hear it from an Irish man.

Even Asari Dokobu debunked that claim of Biafrans killing Ibiobios/Efiks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1xb_rD2Hd4



That was how Adekunle Benjamin said only Efiks were starved but Awolowo said in his biography that Enugu and Port Harcourt suffered the worst starvations. So Enugu and Port Harcourt are efiks land?

Gen. Efiong was the chief of general staff of the Biafran military. Basically all the Biafran service chiefs obey his orders.
He was also the acting head of state whenever Ojukwu was out of the country, and was the substantive head of state for a short while.

So these propagandist want me to believe that Gen. Efiong sanctioned and possibly ordered the mass killings of his own people.

You could have fooled me

Don't forget that from Benue down to the Atlantic Ocean everybody is igbo or Iyamiri in the eyes of the Hausa man till date.
Blatant lie! The Hausa man then and now knows who is inyamiri. Maybe you can go read about the story of 'Mun Ci' as relate to the Fulani and Benue people, especially the Tiv.
So, the Hausa man quiet knows who the rebels are. He knows that they are people who occupies a small land- locked enclave around south eastern part of Nigeria.

Biafra was trying to wipe out minorities and sit on top of their resources. If it wasnt for prompt intervention of Nigeria, from Cross River to Rivers to Edo and everything in between would be speaking Ibo by now. And when you speak Ibo they automatically claim your root is Ibo.

The Eastern minorities especially Ijaws and Calabars must do the following;

1. Apologize to the Igbos for seizing their properties and killing the Igbos in rivers, Calabar. Also return WAEC building owned by Ojukwu to Ojukwu's family. Ken Saro Wiwa seized that WAEC building from Ojukwu. Ojukwu built it from his sweat.


2. Make slavery reparations for the Igbos. Ijaws were constantly kidnapping Isuama Igbos in 19th century to Slavery. The Ijaws were serving as middlemen in the slavery. One manilla= 8 Igbo slaves according to them.
Eastern minorities we the Igbos are still waiting for our slavery reparations.

Lol. 'Seized properties' is just a minute dent when Biafran atrocities are placed in comparison. The fact that you keep denying that the Igbos carried out large scale expulsion of natives in Kalabari communities (and other communities as well), forced conscription of young men of the different minority tribes, unprovoked killing of natives, and so on, will always put you in a negative light whenever Biafra is mentioned. There's no need for me to speak ill of Ojukwu since he's already late. Fvck Ojukwu's properties.

2. Make slavery reparations for the Igbos. Ijaws were constantly kidnapping Isuama Igbos in 19th century to Slavery. The Ijaws were serving as middlemen in the slavery. One manilla= 8 Igbo slaves according to them.

It's a good thing you recognised Arochukwu because most of what you wrote up there are just emotional outbursts. Ijaws didn't invade anywhere or kidnap anybody to capture slaves. Igbos merchants and slavers from prominent clans repeatedly captured people for rival/weaker Igbo clans and sold to the Ijaws and others on the coast. Even your kinsmen admit this much.

Reply to your number 1 comment;

1. Not only did these minorities seized our Properties, most of them killed the Igbos before seizing their properties. Ask An ijaw man in PH about this. Again, BIAFRA army constituted about 30% Ibiobios and the rest of other tribes were 70%(Igbos, Ijaws, Annangs, etc). If it's a truism that Biafrans killed them, why blaming only Igbos? Why can't you also blame the other minorities in the Biafran army?
Y'all take BIAFRA matter has a solely IGBO affair when the arguments suit you. For instance, look at these conversations;

#1st conversation
Igbo: Nigerians killed 3.5 million Biafrans

Efiks: not only Igbos were killed. Efiks too were killed

Me: Notice that the efik man didn't make BIAFRA an Igbo affair here.


#2nd conversation

New trend: Biafrans killed Calabars

Efiks: Yes! Those Igbos killed us

Me: Notice these efik man made BIAFRA an IGBO affair when it suits him. In the 1st conversation, the efik man made BIAFRA an Igbo and non IGBO affair but in the 2nd conversation, he made it only an Igbo affair just to suit his arguments. Why can't he blame Ijaws, Ibiobios, Annangs in the Biafran army also?



2. The Ijaws have their history. They are proud to tell you that they captured Igbo slaves from hinterland BIAFRA then bringing them to the coast. The Ijaws made a currency called MANILLA. One MANILLA= 8 Igbo slaves.
Even the Calabars were also selling Igbo slaves, that was why they started having Dukes.

Oloibiri wasn't the first to discover. It was Imo state. Everyone knows this. So how come Ojukwu saw the Biafran struggle as an advantage to steal oil whereas Imo discovered oil first?

Mali and Niger are landlocked yet they are better than Nigeria.

If we Igbos and our Igbo elites come together and develop Igboland. No one will raise eyebrows against us. I like what Dr. Maduka did. He built a 16 storey hospital building in his LGA at Anambra state.

What we Igbos need is to induce a policy that each kindred must improve their community. I'm from Umu Aneke Owo kindred. We are solely developing ourselves.

The eastern minorities are also people with identity, a tribe with history before lord luggard lumped then together with the eastern region.

You Igbos have determined their fate for too long, dominated them so much such that you have been their voice and identity. They also deserve the honor of maintains their name, status, and dignity.

If they say they don’t want your Biafra, you should respect their decision and not necessarily see them as your enemy. You don’t dictate to people what they should believe or how they should live. You ain’t God.

The Igbos have a culture of terming everyone betrayal, bitter, cowards, etc when their interest don’t align with theirs. C’mon restrict your Biafra to your 5 states jejely and stop trying to blame a people for trying to chart an independent future!

By the way who termed them eastern minorities? Why didn't these Eastern minorities identify themselves as minorities when they were kidnapping Igbo slaves?

One thing for sure is that all these Minorities have this fear of Igbo DOMINATION. Why having Igbophobia? Is it because Igbos are DOMINATING everything peacefully? I don't know your problem. We Igbos are proud of our 5 South Eastern states. So why bringing these Issues up again? I am beginning to hate all these minorities. If you want to be Biafran, good!
