where did I ever support the massacre of innocent Ibos? Please, copy and paste.


By the way, can you attempt to give an answer as to why Ojukwu was so chubby during the blockade while everybody else was starving to death? Don't tell me you failed to notice that.

Did you read what you wrote down before posting? How dare you (a non Igbo) state that Ojukwu setup the Igbos for destruction and fled? If the Igbos with what they went through see him as a hero then your remarks are unsolicited and out of place.

What exactly is your problem with Ojukwu for you to use the type of words you used to address him when he neither abused you nor caused you any harm? Some of these remarks seem to be out of envy and jealousy that in spite of everything he is still alive and respected by his people who simply appreciate till today what he did in the face of oppression and wickedness by fellow Nigerians.

Look at the likes of Soludo and Andy Uba accepting the election result in Anambra in spite of their connections and wealth and try to understand why they readily accepted the result without bloodshed and petitions. It is not because Obi is wonderful but because the people of Anambra chose to grant the wish by Ojukwu. What more do you need to know that this man remains a hero who defied all odds and gave the Igbos a reason to be proud. Though defeated in war the Igbo man cannot be taken for granted again let alone being massacred by any Nigerian for any reasons at all. Thanks to Ojukwu for making sure of that.

this is the sad thing about this yoruba vs igbo clashes on NL. We keep on arguing about events in the ist republic rather than finding ways to make sure things don't repeat themselves again.

It's funny how folks are calling for "revenge" from the comfort of their computer screen. countries like congo and rwanda are proof of how "revenge" can spiral out of control.

If he is so revered and evidence of this was the recent Anambra elections,
how come he has failed miserably at the polls even in the East in the presidential
elections?

Do you have the breakdown of the election results in the presidential elections to backup your claims? Or, is this another fly by night statement?

Even with the well reported rigging of the election by the PDP the breakdown will tell you a story that will continue to make you wonder.

Stick to facts you can defend as I am already tired of correcting misinformation.

And even in the Anambra elections not everyone voted for his preferred candidate and that goes to show you how independent minded the average Igbo man is.

Showing respect and holding him in high esteem does not mean that everyone must do what he wants as we are born free and we are allowed to do what pleases us.

So, if some people in Anambra can vote for other candidates it makes perfect sense to understand why the East will not return 100% vote for him. We do not play tribal politics when the Igbos must votes for the Igbos only. We have gone beyond that stage.
Re: Ojukwu Used Starvation As A Deliberate Strategy During Civil War. by doyin13(m): 9:46pm On Feb 17, 2010
I have no qualms with Igbos holding whomever they so wish in high esteem.

I just find it curious that this so loved man across Igbo land would fare poorly
along with his party in crucial elections within his err sphere of influence.

Well, the results being rigged is a distinct possibility. Both in previous elections
and the last Anambra elections.

Just curious my friend.

I expected you to back up the statement.

The rate at which misinformation is thrown about on this forum is really alarming.

May God help us all.

For real, Biafrans still waiting for REVENGE? Even if you pray to God to win against Almighty Yoruba, he will ask you to sh.ut the f up; because you will definitely lose.
Our can Ibo group win Yoruba when numbers and manpower not on your side?
You all know, we have more than 150 million yorubas in both North and South Americas.
I will ask those yorubas in Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia not to fight you.
We have more than 30 million yorubas just in Mid-east.

Let just my Yoruba people in common Iraq fight you. They are known as black Iraqis, they numbered more than 3 millions. Check this link for your information: http://www.youtube.com/watch#playnext=1&playnext_from=TL&videos=9mzr_b0fLOU&v=5Y42AyGpno4

So you think winning wars depends on population?
So china will win Russia or America in any form of military engagement?

For your info if it was based on population, there will be no Israel.

Every single technology in china (except the umbrella) is borrowed so  thats impossible.
They will just become another giant consumer market.chikena

Income per capita is still under $1 per day.
If all the jobs in europe and US are plunged into China ,the average  income per capita will just
rise to about $2 per day.

Once your population explodes exponentially while you are still emerging, forget 1st world status
(look at India).

The truth is naija is not a nation and may never be untill something drastic occurs.Ojukwu saw what many of us deny today,the Northern oligarchy that  has ruined us.I must say here that we all seem to have our ethnic problems and stereotypes but the yurobas are just not it all at.cowardice and betrayal are known xteristics of the them.Hausas are a lazy set of pple,ignorant in all raminification.The Igbos,well,dont really pose any threat to the country but their love for money that divides them.These three major ethnic groups have proven to be failures.we must look beyond ethnicity if we want to move forward but really,can that happen?naija is doomed.
