Did Ironsi kill 3,000,000 ppl like Gowon did?
Ojukwu was losing the war, there was no hope especially after the 2nd and 3rd marine Division started attacking from the south, he should have surrender earlier than he did. If he surrender early, millions of Igbos won't have died.

I remember which Yoruba leader said, Federalism means different thing to different region.
The South South See's resource Control has ture federalism
The South West See's resource control, state police, and reducing the federal government power has ture federalism
The South East want the return the Eastern (adding SS) has ture federalism
So different meaning

True. However, what we know is that all southerners agree that the federation is faulty. Its up to our brothers up North to see the light

What about the wounds of Niger Delta What about those killed by Biafran troop in Niger Delta undecided
the so called Niger delta have over clouded themselves with hatred for igbos, is making it difficult for them to understand that, they are suffering the same thing igboman is calling about, marginalisation from the federal is visible in Niger delta region but their hatred for igboman will not allow them to agitate.

There're some history that don't need to be told.
How can you tell the story of the Asaba massacre, the land and sea blocked propelled by Obafemi Awolowo which lead to the starvation of millions of children to death without waking up old injuries. Abeg,lets bury the history.

May the Lord heal all grieving hearts. The civil war was an unfortunate episode in our history and development.

We should do all within our means to prevent such in the future.

The only reason the North is afraid is because of monthly allocation. Believe me if there was no monthly allocation, Nigeria would've been practicing True federalism since.

Re: Kukah: Wounds Of The Civil War Have Not Been Healed by Awoleesu(m): 5:42pm On Jan 14, 2021
My take on the Nigeria/Biafra issue is that since the war, the country has been technically divided. Unfortunately, dishonesty was enthroned and only the dishonest ones continued to run the affairs of the nation while honest men either folded their arms or simply walked away!

Now, talking about 'dishonesty', it started from that slogan by Gowon - No Victor, no Vanquished! Events unfolded in clarity and records bore accounts of a defeat, nay a surrendering... does Gowon in his juvenile wisdom then think he was massaging anyone's ego by that singular pronouncement?

Talking about the 'National Reconciliation' move by the FG under same Gowon, another act of dishonesty was exhibited! How can you proclaim reconciliation (following a surrender) and still refuse to allow full fledged collaboration and integration? If you had truly reconciled the rebelling party, why do you find it 'abominable' to have them rise to any national prominence on the platform of governance? If you tell the offender "your sins are forgiven" his natural expectation would be that he has been restored to the 'sinless' status...

To claim the wounds of the civil war has healed is the height of national dishonesty! Even here on Nairaland, the forum is replete with invectives bearing all strains of the vengeful and the arrogant! Let me be clear, if we want the wounds of the civil war to ever heal ( which would be the best thing for us all), the Hausa and Yoruba egoists should drop their arrogance (an attitude stemming from the backlash of that dishonest claim ; no victor, no vanquished - else why do these two parties get the fuel for their superiority complex from?). It is more honorable for the Hausa and Yoruba groups to first be magnanimous ( having being the aggressors) than to expect the 'defeated' Igbos to continue to lavish in a superficial yet punitive "national reconciliation" that has perpetually deprived her equal opportunities on the national table!

When the Hausa and Yoruba groups drop their political arrogance, then they can expect the Igbos to be assuaged of their vengefulness!

For as long as this national dishonesty continues, arrogance will always beget arrogance and the wound cannot heal.

Who bring federal presence to a state ? Are they not representatives from your state ?

If you hold any key position in Nigeria I'm sure your community or house hold will benefit from it . That's what your representatives are failing to do and blame the federal government like they're not part of the FEC council
The final approval for anything lies with the president which the igbos have not produced.
No country develops this way.

Re: Kukah: Wounds Of The Civil War Have Not Been Healed by Emyogalanya: 5:43pm On Jan 14, 2021
In as much as what he said is true this speech is simply political. Nobody should play igbos as his pawns. I'm a catholic but my dear bishop face the north and muslims. Your christmas message was in perfect order, you are only calling in the civil war and biafra into your fight to defend you now that the muslim north have given you quit notice. You only want to draw us in by using the civil war sentiments. Cos you know many of us are mostly catholic christians. Do not worry we are behind you as catholic, and as christians but pls leave us with our wounds. When its time to heal its going to be a political healing not a religious healing. The war was physical not spiritual

Awesome. So why whip up sentiments for igbos. It was a war. Biafrans see federal troops as enemy and vice versa. Your soldiers killed civilians and soldiers, thesame happened from the other side. So what the f*** are you saying? If Biafrans didnt stand in their way they wouldn't have been killed.....no apologies. You lost. Face the consequences of your actions.

who is whopping up sentiments for the Igbos? your soldiers invaded our land, they killed, raped and massacred innocent civilians, and I don't think it's on record that Biafran troops killed any civilian...
so shut the fuckup!

we didn't loose the war, the feds succeeded in bringing us back to this God forsaken country coz of the useless tactics they used on us but the Gallant Biafran soldiers won the War... so get that into your skull boy!!

Scars don’t disappear. The scars will be there to remind them that you don’t slap your father’s mates. Anyone that is still aggrieved should pick up arms again.

However, if you see any blood sucking herdsman anywhere in the South, use him for money rituals, don’t let his head waste away. Even if it is Niger Republic or Mali or Togo or Chad’s currency it will produce depending on where the herdsman is from.

Can they mention one federal investment in the entire east?

Those who will mention uncompleted Enugu airport and tolled 2nd Niger bridge should be ashamed in advance.

I blame all these on the slavish leaders from the region, who don't know how to fight their rights.

I think the North should be the one claimimg old wound, you killed their revered leaders... Sardauna, Tafawa Balewa etc.

Any other thing that befell una, na your afowofa..

I blame all these on the slavish leaders from the region, who don't know how to fight their rights.

So it is also Northerners and Yorubas that stopped your adopted son Goatluck Jonaddaft from investing in the South East.

Alex Ekwueme that was shamelessly VP to a primary school semi literate teacher called Sheu Shagari nko? Was it also Yorubas that stopped Ekwueme from influencing his Almajari boss to invest in South East or can’t you see Professor Osinbajo’s influence in infrastructure in Yoruba land?

What about all the Igbos that served in Obasanjo’s Ibo made government? What was/is their impact on South East apart from looting for their children’s children.

Only fools blame others for their misfortunes.

Meanwhile, if you pick up arms against the Federal Republic, we will repeat the 1967 to 1970 treatment.

That is what I am trying to point out to you people. That our division is their strength to manipulate and treat us anyhow.

The igbos and the Ijaws are suffering the same fate in Nigeria but you people refuse to cooperate for emancipation of our people instead you you find pleasure in mocking igbos who are in the same shoes with you

I get your point . But Northern leaders fight for their people to be carried along . You see how their organization always fight if they sense any fowl play from other Regions to their people.

I'll blame the IGBOs Reps who don't speak with one voice .
Nigeria has not developed to that stage where you just sit and things will fall in place for you .
