that’s a very big stupid statement, no one forgets a massacre even ones that the issue that lead to it was solved talk more about this particular one that has never been solved.

Ignore the unfeeling schmuck! Part of the reason Nigeria is in the mess it’s in today is because of lack of compassion and wickedness such as that fool exhibits!

A obvious wrong and injustice has been visited on a people, with no apology or recompense to the victims from the Nigerian state more than half a century later, and all he has to say is ‘move on….the past is the past’! Yet they still wonder why Ndigbo want out of this contraption!

The only genocide the world still doesn't want to address but we will continue to fight until our voices are heard and all those involved are brought to book. Till date, our people are being murdered by fulani terrorists with having backing from the terrorist Nigerian army. Burning down our homes and markets. We world must address the hate Nigeria has against us.

I didn't say forget but move forward. No one no matter the injustice stays in the same state. Until one moves forward the agressor will never show remorse, infact no one calls for justice until that person recovers though bearing the scares of the wounds that may not have healed. I didn't justify the atrocities of the past the ongoing ones but we have a future ahead of us in 2023 we can't keep drumming up the events of the past louder than our present state. If NIGERIANS preoccupy themselves with settling who is wrong and right before fighting for a common goal then our future would be stolen and we would spend another four years complaining. It's been the same ploy every election season, people who don't wish the victims well to throw up issues of the civil war in every election to divert the people attention.

Moving forward doesn't mean to forget. Glad to see alot of igbos doing great in various endeavors while still speaking out and that's what moving forward. What happened is well documented and the most reliable account is Frederick Forsyth. Not all those creating threads want any solution to the disaster that NIGERIA has become but to deepen it by encouraging unhelpful rhetorics that would be used against the people. Igbos may not have healed totally so also other innocent victims but we are heading there.

Ends this coming months?



Yeah my opinion. Those who broke the barriers of post 1970 didn't forget. They like the Jews kept it in their mind like 'never again' while pushing the frontier of greatness. Same is what I expect of igbos keep moving, apologies and remedies I'll follow.

Igbos should stop twisting history. There is no history of masscre of igbos in 1966 in jos town.

Also there is a tendency of igbos to always falsify data and figure for agendas especially those with the victimhood mentality.

How about my people that the igbos massacre during the civil war.

Anyways, This is what happened in 1945

: In October 1945, the Hausa and the Ibo in the city of Jos fought one another for two days, during which at least two people were killed, many others injured, considerable property was destroyed or damaged, and Nigerian police and army units had to be brought in from Kaduna to restore order. Later, one man was tried for homicide.

True It should not be forgotten neither should the murder of the prime minister, the premier of both western n northern region by the igbos too should not be forgotten.

You come on here with a moniker ‘Okon and whatever’…trying to throw people off the scent that leads to your true Fulani or Yoruba identity! It’s mainly Igbo-hating bigots from these two places who are insanely interested in revising events leading up to and including the uncivil war! Why TF would any Akwa-Cross harbour the kind of bile, bitterness and hatred towards Ndigbo the way you shameless impostors do!? What exposes you is your rabid hatred towards Ndigbo…coupled with una daft posts (like the one i’m quoting) that try to paint Ndigbo as the ‘war criminals’ while TOTALLY IGNORING the actions of known Fulani and Yoruba war criminals who either took active part in committing war crimes in the field, or served in the evil Gowon gov’t and used their pens to do much worse!

Assuming, without conceding, that we go along with your daft assertion that Igbos’ massacred their Akwa-Cross neighbours during the uncivil war, what then are you waiting for before bringing said ‘atrocities’ before constituted authority so the Igbo ‘war criminals’ can be identified, exposed and punished!? Is your argument that since you had war crimes committed against you and kept quiet, that Ndigbo should too!?

They have an unquenchable thirst for innocent Igbo blood! Even as we speak, they have both ‘official’ and ‘unofficial’ murderers all over the south-east, engaged in kidnapping and false-flag operations! They see Igbo life as NOTHING…WORTHLESS, and this is why they feel nothing when killing us for political or religious reasons!
