as expected , the usual suspects who were nowhere to be found when better people were condemning their gang rapist kinsmen are running their mouths on events before their birth.

LOSER, ask your Ojukwu that moronic question. You are of the same stock.

















WINNER, do not feign stupidity to a simple poser which you encouraged by uttering idiotic statement. I did not read Ojukwu’s post on this forum which foolishly insinuated Biafra did not embrace options.

Murtala was a failure. Truth is that only in nigeria can a lousy soldier, talentless buffoon become a celebrated statesman. This deranged bloodsucker wasted so many men trying to take onitsha from rag-tag soldiers that he became an s.I unit for military ineptitude. I guess he was better at killing civilians and playing ethnic arewa politics even though the beast was from present day edo state

Treacherous acts of Yoruba people are known traits in Nigeria. From introduction of carpet-crossing into Nigerian polity to saber-rattling in 1966 for moments and cowardly succumbed to drunken soldiers from northern region of Nigeria.

It did not come as a surprise to me when I read about a comment credited to hot-air-blowing leader of OPC begging Boko Haram and MEND not to blow up Abuja.

I despise both stupidity and treachery.

Next time you will not try to Invade another man's land. Buncha Kidnappers and Human eaters

It is unfortunate you construe the need to uncover the truth as hatred. When did Nigeria become Yoruba land? Yet I kept hearing this nonsensical invasion of “another man's land” from bunch of nitwits on this forum. The civil war was between Nigeria and Biafra.

Nigeria attacked Biafra and the later returned the favor. If Yoruba are dreaming of war with Ndigbo, I urge them to wake up from the deep slumber and make it a reality rather than being delusional.

At least, the kidnappers and human eaters mean what they say and say what they mean, no flippancy.

[size=30pt]No wonder you are accusing Awolowo of Ethnic Cleansing or whatever rubbish you accuse him of.
That is the problem with you Ibosians, always contesting with your Senior Brothers in the West who Trash you to sht when you try Invading their Land under the Pretext of attacking Nigeria and Liberating People who are not under bondage when you do not have the capacity or ability to liberate yourself. No wonder Awolowo used his brain to tore you Human eaters to pieces.[/size]

I guess you are confused about what you read from me and other contributors. Awolowo did not know how to handle a den gun talk less of engaging in ethnic cleansing. Without Ndigbo, you could not have seen Awolowo in person. Stop this nonsensical and delusional invasion of land. Militarily, Yoruba is in the class of Boko Haram. Ndigbo have been in war of attrition which was against an enemy with numerical superiority. It will be a piece of cake going against Yoruba even with the support from Republic of Benin.  grin grin grin

Ndigbo will always bit.ch slap their Yoruba junior brothers in any circumstances, anytime and anywhere.

When did Yoruba muster intestinal fortitude to start dreaming about war with Ndigbo? Are these not the same Yoruba who told every willing ear that no son of Yoruba was in military uniform and were under military occupation by Gowon in 1966?

You loudmouths must realize that war does not resemble “owambe” by any stretch of imagination.

The last time I checked though, Ore was/is a town in Nigeria. It was a site of epic battle between Nigeria and Biafra. During the fracas, Yoruba did not have an army. Yoruba army was mercilessly trounced at Ilorin under Afonja by the Aboki from Sokoto. I know they ran their mouths then as they do today. grin grin grin

The great Murtala Mohammed was one of the greatest commanders in the Nigerian Army during the civil war. Unlike the Biafran generals and their supreme commander, he never, at anytime, saw it fit to abandon his people and flee.

Revisionists, including their head honcho, Dede1, always try to deceive their readers with extreme lies and half truths. They are accusing Murtala Mohammed of the mastermind behind civilian killings in some parts of the Midwest, in a dishonest attempt to ruin the great soldier’s reputation. I am actually tired of opening the yansh of these revisists to expose them, but I will make an exception and set the record straight, once and for all.

To the credit of some brave biafran soldiers, many of whom died before the cowards left behind fled like chickens, substantial parts of the old Midwest were captured by biafran soldiers. The great Murtala, who was then a Colonel was charged with the duty of evicting the biafran traitors from the Midwest. Murtala literally built 2 Division from scratch.

Now, the biafran soldiers were as stubborn as a hungry goat that is determined to taste garri from a local garri trader setting. They pushed hard towards Lagos and when they were getting too close for comfort, the great Murtala used some ingenious and superior military tactics to drive the biafrans out of the Midwest in a blistering counter offensive which was so efficient that it earned Murtala the nick name “Monty of the Midwest” after Britain’s leading world war two commander: Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. Murtala’s bravery and wins during the war were major factors which led to the defeat of biafran secessionists. Murtala is rightfully honoured on the N20 bill and in several other ways.

It is true that once the biafran forces in the Midwest had been overrun, some wayward members of 2 Division carried out a terrible killings of civilians as punishment for their sympathy for the biafrans. There is no evidence whatsoever that Murtala Mohammed had anything to do with these killings. Infact Murtala saw to the court marshalling of several perpetrators of the crime and those found guilty were summarily executed. Murtala himself was not even present in the area as he had gone to Lagos for consultation when these atrocities took place. Upon his return, Murtala personally saw to it that the mother of Major Nzeogwu was protected and not harmed.

Revisionists like Dede1 are on notice that their lies will be exposed promptly and they are well advised to stick to the truth.

Chuck, how body? What is the reason behind this unfunny joke about Murtala Mohammed? Before you contaminate young minds, I must remind you Murtala Mohammed was not Nigerian Army Headquarter and never had such authority to build a platoon talk less a company.

Murtala Mohammed was the highest ranked straggler in the annals of military history. He was a mere signal officer in Nigerian Armed offices. If Nigeria is a nation, Murtala Mohammed should not ascend beyond the rank of a major.

If he was a mere signal officer, why are you all accusing him of the killings on Asaba.  I must say that I understand your anger, if not hatred for the man. Without Murtala Mohammed, I must admit,  secessionists may have achieved their objectives.

It is an absolute falsehood Mutala Mohammed saw to the court-marshal of the perpetrators. Both the brigade and battalion commanders whose elements were involved in the atrocity were not even queried.

During Murtala Mohammed’s cowardly retreat from Abagana debacle, he and follow stragglers murdered 300 church worshippers in Ogidi as they attempted to swim across the Niger as Biafran forces were on a hot pursuit.

This is another tale by the moonlight which you all believe if you tell enough times, people will  start to believe. Where did you get this information from? You of all people should know that it is unacceptable to makeup your own account of historical events. 

You claim that 300 chucrch worshippers were killed as they attempted to swim across the Niger, well another one of your colleagues statted: "At
Onitsha - the 300 strong congregation of the Apostolic Church decided to stay on while others fled and to pray for deliverance. Col. [Murtala] Mohammed's Second Division found them in the church, dragged them out, tied their hands behind their backs and executed them."

You mis-read my post. It was during Murtala Mohammed’s cowardly retreat from Abagana debacle, he and follow stragglers murdered 300 church worshippers in Ogidi or Onicha as they( Murtala Muhammed and group of stragglers with him) hurriedly attempted to swim across the Niger as Biafran forces were on a hot pursuit.
