^^ Point of correction

Yorubas dont care if Ibos like them or Not

lagcity:

yorubas don't hate igbos. i wouldn't say there is love affair between the two but yorubas definitely do not hate the igbos. i don't know how igbos feel but it makes sense that if some igbos hate/distrust yorubas, they'll think the yorubas hate/distrust them in return, which isn't the case.
in business, they do work together. but in politics, that's another story. i think both will work together if one or two respected leaders from each group genuinely put aside pettiness and work together.

ak47mann:


Yorubas can never work together with the ibos. Past experiences has taught us never to trust the ibos. They always end up aligning with the northerners.

We offered international thief thief surpport during his presidency he told us he can win without igbos obviously the[b] NTI ELEKE[/b] HAVE MADE DEAL WITH ABOKIS and still they luck him up same goes to bode, obj,awolowo,and even abokis dont trust yorubas let be honest to ourselves bro it wont kill you if you accept it.Looking at the way they always cut you people off when it comes to politics and they never stop now former speaker again they disgrace the poor man he still weeping like a baby in prison now dey make sure b/4 he leave office they must brand him as usual aboki people are very wicked look now he don join his Yoruba ex con crew this one don enter history books again they say that federal govt is going to establish a new course in secondary schools about corruption in Nigeria.Imagine the coursework mostly Yoruba ex convicts names dey go dey sing for class

What a load of hogwash!

In 1957, the North threatened to secede if independence was granted to Nigeria because they were not ready. Zik, was supposed to have reached an understanding with Awo to let the North go. But to Awo’s consternation, Zik formed an alliance with the North which succeeded in delaying independence and allowed the North to get ready.

ChinenyeN:

This particular detail is the one thing that replays in my head, anytime Nigeria's independence and Biafra are mentioned.

kasiem:

But, during the civil war epoch, enahoro was at the forefront of subverting relief material that were sublimated to combat hunger and privation in the biafran part.

kasiem:

Even, zik sabotaged the efforts of the igbos by embarking on diplomatic ways of halting the war to keep the as one.

man, u think that the best way to incommode and enfeeble your foes in a conflict is by blocking relief materials meant for their innocuos refugees? Nay, for a man that claims to be a nationalist its quite inexpedient, vicious and vacuous. There are better approach that he must've adopted to justify his clame to fame. And i've never heard that ojukwu rebuffed the relief materials, so its coming from u as a furfy. Again, can u substantiate your assertion that zik espoused the war? Dont u know that zik was one of the people that effectuated the capitulation of the biafrans? So, man there are many things that makes somebody a true nationalist, not just by moving a mere motion.

The blockade was initiated by Gowon C-i-C right from the onset of the war yet Ojukwu persist with his ambitious war without any alternatives to feeding his people. It was obvious that the biafrans will be faced with mass starvation but ojukwu didn't care. in fact, he used the plight of his starvation people to garner more arms and ammunitions from friendly nations, such as France. Enahoro might have agreed with Gowon's move but he had no say in how Gowon chosed to clip Ojukwu's wings. The decision to blockade biafra was Gowon's and his alone irrespective of whose idea it was. Don't forget too that the ilk of Murtala, katsina, IBB et al were breathing down Gowon's neck, urging him to deal decisively with Ojukwu.

Am sure you never heard of Ojukwu's boasts of how he continued the war with "Landing fees" from relief agencies. I suggest if you are really interested in finding out the truth, to go on youtube and search for " Biafran war".


In the meanwhile, below are links to wet your appetite. Happy reading

 The moral of this whole saga is to mind your own business and never go/come to the aid of those who aren't your tribe's men . Ndigbo should stop acting like they are more nigerian than others. I've always pondered as to why those efulefu majors refused to see tribalism in the 1960s. What is their concern if the western region was burning and Awo was imprisoned? Why couldn't they let it burn or let Ahmadu Bello deal with Awo the way he deemed fit?

 Even the Ikemba knows this,,,,,that was why he didn't border trying to save Saro Wiwa's neck from Abacha's noose, inspite of the latter's attempt at reconciliation with Ikemba and Ndigbo in general.
