I always shy away from thread that talks about unity between Yoruba's and Igbo's because of lots of things I have observed about then. When you see people who are too emotional rather than pragmatic, it is always very difficult to reason with then. Even if Yoruba's form a political party and put an Igbo person forward as the party's candidate for president, they will still turn around and ridicule our effort. Nothing satisfy them. So, we really need to stop patronizing these people.

Can you see...
The Yorubas welcomed the IBO's with open hand after the war even when they were rejected by the Rivers and Bendel people.
And yet they still hate us like mad.

You people are welcoming people who were fighting to go their way?

You Yorubas dont get it. What the Igbos wanted was not your welcoming hand. What they wanted was to go their way. Igbos fought a war in other not to see anyones welcoming hands.

Interesting. So PH was an Ibo city according to the CIA. What I picked from this release is the part the report said the non-Ibo minorities "suffered domination" under the Igbo majority Eastern Region. Nice choice of words there. They didn't suffer marginalization or neglect but they deeply loathed the domination of the Ibo in every sector. Interesting. The people in charge in Lagos were quite liberal minded,they actually made a move to reintegrate the returning Igbo population. Nice one. It's a unfortunate those kind of people are absent now,the only thing the current Yoruba elite and populace feel towards the Igbo is unbridled hate.

Que sera sera.

Declared war on their fellow Africans in order to maintain a whiteman’s slave camp worth a paltry £865,000. Gowon the Lowlife, your death shall be celebrated.

Per this report: The 30-month war ended abruptly without guerrilla fights subsequently. The Gowon-led FMG at Lagos was conciliatory to the Igbo at war's end - albeit with fierce opposition. Maximum respect to General Effiong who bore the ultimate role - that neither Gowon nor Ojukwu wanted to bear - in ending the war and preventing further deaths. Imagine for a second, a soldier surrendering to his juniors at the end of a bitter war - to save lives and end the bloodshed and anarchy. IMO, General Effiong is the man that stands tall in that dark moment of our national history 1966 - 1970.

It appears the NRC's role ended 30 June 1970 - six months after the war's end.

The report written in 1970 was indeed prescient as Awolowo lost the 1979 elections.

History. That the Igbo and former eastern region pulled out of the ruins of 1970 to their current economic standing is astonishing. We are still having headache with revenue sharing formula as written in that same 1970 declassified report. Imagining what they'd have in their classified reports from 1971 to 2017.

CIA ... these Americans carry our history for fingertips and sabi us inside out.

Thanks, OP.

The Rivers and Bendel People did not Goad igbos into war by saying if by Ommission or Commission the igbos are allowed to seced that they would secede only to rejoin the Federal forces to fight igbos and recommend starvation to be used on innocent women and children.

The Rivers and Bendel people did not rub it in the face of igbos that hunger is an instrument of war.

I dont think Igbos have started hating yorubas , the Generations of Igbos who are coming after Nnamdi Kanu will be the Generation that will give it back to the people who visted real hatred on the igbo nation, The Nnamdi Kanu Generation were not versatile and ruthless in some of their activities, not that i support them.

The CIA was trying to be politically correct at that time. The non-Igbo minorities in the SE suffered molestation, attacks and hostility from the Igbo, during the war.

Many were tagged 'saboteurs' for no just cause and persecuted by the authorities.

Right after your own is celebrated....!!

tonytony208:


So, your backward mind tells you the yorubas will be waiting for you to show them hatred? While the generations of igbos coming would be immersing themselves in hatred, the Yoruba's would have gone far economically beyond the myopic foolishness of your tribe.

Young man i have noticed that you only have a voice whenever igbo threads are raised it's very clear how much you hate the igbos. Not that it matters though.

I have made more than 10,000 posts on NL. Did you do a content analysis of each one, to find out if it was related to an Igbo issue, or not? Why do people like you enjoy playing the victim card? What makes you think that everyone hates your tribe? I don't hate Igbos. I only hate the IPOB crew and their ilk, who spew hate-filled speeches and bile against other ethnic groups. Hope that clarifies the issue. Now run along, and go to sleep little toddler. It is way past your bedtime.

mabea:
Same as others, always playing the IPOB cards still their words sell them out. To you every Igbo is IPOB. Not joining issues with you still.

SmallmebigGod:
So the igbos need Yoruba to secede so that their secession can work, that moment they realized that, they would have halted the plan, the main goal of secession is to show the world you can stand alone as a country

Interesting.

When will Nigerians ever get to see declassified reports (however brief) by our own intel agencies on the goings on in other countries?

Or will the argument be made that such reports should not be seen by the general public for so-called "security reasons"?

This country keeps embassies (with defence/military attaches) and trade missions in several countries (friends and foes alike) and it maintains them at great cost. I presume there are also personnel who for years have been entrusted with the task of gathering intel on the goings on in these countries. Where are the results and reports from the intel gathered and how have they been used to advance this country's interests?

Where is the work done by the defunct NSO, the NIA, etc.? Or they exist just to increase our stock of 3 letter acronyms?
