It will amount to disingenuous act on my part to label you an illiterate. You are not illiterate by mere insinuation. Probably the wanton disregard of recorded events in your usual juvenile rant is predicated on free education Awolowo introduced in western region of Nigeria.

Please take time off to disabuse your silly and bigotry mind and reread this conjectural crap you called post. When you regain human consciousness and give sound perusal to this junk, you will definitely shout Oti o! And probably ask how on earth you posted the incoherent rant.

At one point is all about Igbo and moment later is about Nigeria and country. After spending my precious time on the piece of junk you posted, I thought Igbo is Nigeria and country all in one. 



I really was expecting you to debate or question the content of my post, but as usual, you are too demented and cowardly to do just that, it's always the same irrelevant and mindless rubbish. I guess it's the ibo in you.

Once more Dede, There is absolutely no need holding a debate with you. It is obvious that you cant be reasoned with. You pick what you want to read and in a bid to sound intellectually superior you add insults to every response. Anyways, I wouldnt stoop so low as to indulge you. It was the likes of you that led the Igbos into war without any training whatsoever, with little (inferior) arms and ammunitions, with no real strategy or plan, watched them suffer and die at the mercy of the better equipped Nigerian Army while your uncle Ojukwu and his cronies were hiding in a fortified bunker in Umuahia, enjoying food, electricity and water. When the war came to a head, he fled the country only to be pardoned and he came home to a heroes reception, took the most beautiful girl (his best friends daughter) as a wife and has taken no responsibility or apologised for the lives lost in that useless war. YES!! I wish he suffers terribly before he dies in agony and pain. I pray his soul is rejected in heaven and he burns in the hottest part of hell. Thats how I feel and if you dont like it sir, well feel free to pop an artery.

Kidnappings started with the first batch of Niger Delta militants in the creeks who used it as a means of sending a message to the government. When it started out, they never demended a ransom. Well now all hell has been let loose, Warri, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom are now kidnapping everything that moves. TRUST ndi Igbo not to be left out. ABA joined the fray and brought a whole new twist to the game. Kidnapping an entire bus filled with little kids, how heartless can anyone be. That was my point sir. Aba got so mad that all the banks in the state closed up shop, thanks to ndi igbo. Aba's madness was so bad they had to station an APC at every intersection in Aba. Yes sir, Aba didnt start kidnapping but they sure as hell took it to the next level. Did you know that the first recorded case of a kidnap victim being killed was recorded in Aba? Yes, and that was after they had obtained the ransom!! I was in PH when the kidnapping saga got to its worst point, but Aba made Port-harcourt look like a bad disney world ride.

When I talked about helping my friends secure jobs, I didnt say that out of arrogance sir, It was in response to a question posed by Afam, and I did my best to respond with as much humility as I possibly could. I didnt name names nor call the companies where they work. I dont know why it is eating you up so bad, I wonder what you would have done if I had said I tarred the entire roads in my community. You have alot of pent up anger for which I recommend you see a shrink sir. This I repeat is an open forum, It is the likes of you that shout down others in a meeting and end up making yourself into a nuisance. Please if you cant hold a civilzed discussion devoid of curses and insults, I suggest once more sir that you leave the forum. Once more have a good day.







I suggest you look at both sides of the road before you cross. If you tend to cross roads abound with light volume of traffic as you vomit craps on this forum, you will definitely not last long.

Again spend time on balance political recollections that led to the civil war. In Igbo land, they say nobody demands water be boiled because he or she intend to fall from the tree. Eastern region was not an independent country as May 28, 1967 and could not have stood up an army and prepared for war as your goofy self had insinuated. I would have called you an honor graduate of kindergarten if your insinuation of war preparation or lack thereof was meant for independent Biafra, at least, two years before it was visited with war of attrition by Nigeria-led Gowon. Ojukwu and Biafrans did what they could possibly do to warn Nigerians to think twice. My people say appearance is notoriously deceptive.

Mr. Know-it-all, you can not eat your cake and have it. True to your goofy character, in one instance you stated this is an open forum and moment later in the same paragraph, you suggested that I leave the forum because I has dissenting views.

I would have debated you if your post was coherent and factual to the kindergarten level. There was no iota of record which suggested the Awolowo and western region boycotted all the constitutional conferences stood up by the colonist in a bid to grant independence to Nigeria.

There is no record that remotely suggested Ndigbo had a standing army beside that of Nigeria. The group of Nigerian soldiers that overthrew Tafawa Balewa's governement consisted of Igbo, Yoruba, Tiv, Ibibio and Ijo.

Believe me, when you sound humanly reasonable, I shall debate you on facts not conjectures.

Since this is a public forum, allow me to also say that whatever benefits (even if only in brag rights or swag) you or your family have obtained from the Nigerian system as a result of whatever modicum of respect being accorded Igbo because of Ojukwu's heroic actions, may they turn to curses and disfranchisement! Amen.

Fyi, we yorubas lost a lot too maybe not on the same grand scale as the ibos but yes, we suffered many losses too. However, the war was not our war. we never wanted war whereas the ibos wanted war and did everything possible to make sure that the situation would not be resolved through dialogue.


I will like to know the objective of discussing BIAFRA with the Igbos, who were at the receiving end of the war and may still be living with the pains.

[b]I DISLIKE Igbo akata gang bangers from America that come on here sprouting off at the mouth yet most of them can even speak a sentence in Igbo.

They would prefer their children to speak English or Yoruba. As a Yoruba man I look upon that as shameful. We Yoruba are proud of our traditions. Why aren't Igbo proud of there's?

[b]Can you imagine how many Igbo people hate their own language so much they punish their children for speaking it? [/b]Honestly it disgusts me. I love my country and everything about it but the Igbo are a thorn in the side of many. Igbo have scammed ALOT of people. They are always ready to do something crooked in order to get rich.

Igbo people moan that Yoruba and Hausa people exclude them from politics. When will they stop looking to blame others?

I'm sure I'll be called a "Tribalist" because that's all the Igbo do when people speak the truth. Call people "Tribalists". It's like African Americans that scream racism every two minutes. Igbo people do exactly the same. Their laziness and crookedness knows no bounds. I'm from Nigeria. I live in London at the moment  but I actually visit my country very often like alot of Yoruba do. I'm not saying what I'm saying due to sterotypes. I've actually witnessed alot of this.

I'm tired of this also. Igbo continually try and play victim by bringing this up and I've had enough. IT'S THE IGBO THAT WANTED WAR. They got it and look what happened. I've had just about enough of their "poor me" blame attitude. It' getting to much now. angry

You teach your child your language, good for you, but your neighbors who happens to be igbos doesn't do the same things and you hate them? coupled with the fact that they're the sole scammers in the world, a thorn in the flesh to many as you put it. i real trie for you o, my brother.

Yorubas on this forum should stop discussing the BIAFRA episode, its not in Yorubas best interest. Remember the Igbos lost a lot of things in that war and it hurts more when you get reminded all the time by a particular set of people. I don't see northerners going back and forth on this BIAFRA issue on nairaland. This is a major reason the Igbos tend to fight Yorubas more on every issue even though Yorubas have never killed Igbos in numbers like the northerners have done in the past.

I dont think this is a right way to look at it cos the revisionists amongst them who would always attempt to rewrite history.

How come when everyone talks about Biafra they conveniently omit the preceding events?

There wont be a civil war without a January 15 Ibo coup.

Ok Because Iraqis or Afghans lost vs America doesnt mean they would reverse history and tell us It was Black P0rn0graphy that caused the war

igbos remain the most resourceful people in Nigeria even to a fault. Instead of staying here and tell them what is wrong with them,

WHY NOT POST ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG ABOUT YOUR PEOPLE

REMOVE THE LOG FROM YOUR EYES BEFORE REMOVING THE SPECK FROM OTHERS. HYPOCRITE

The objective is that, just because the ibos were at the receiving end of a war they instigated does not give them the rights to embark on sheer

revisionism. Many others too are still feeling the pain from their loss as a result of the meaningless war, the ibos dragged us all, into. The ibos got what they asked for-

WAR. Unfortunately, they didn't stop to listen to opposition voices about its consequences. But what about those who didn't want war and were dragged into it and in

the process, lost many loved ones? They should not talk because the ibos suffered greater losses?

It was a simple fact Zik was the leader of NCNC hence would-be the leader of government and future premier of western region. I guess you realize carpet-crossing in the geographical expression known as Nigeria was tribal invention of Yoruba bigots. If the majority seat won by NCNC in western region during 1951 regional election was imaginary as you want us to believe, what necessitated the shameful carpet-crossing mainly by Yoruba in the western regional house of assembly?


"Professor" Dede, with regards to the above post by your good self, i have asked you for proof but till now you have not deemed it necessary to

back up your claim with irrefutable facts. Ibos like you have been brandishing this gabbage (among many similar fallaious tales) about Awo and the yorubas for so long

but when asked for proof, none of you can obliged. I suppose you don't have to, since your sole objective has now been realised. That is, give a dog a bad

name . . . . . . . ."

At any rate, why would an ibo man wants to be in charge of yorubas affairs? And 'cause the yorubas refused the offer, you all call them "tribalists"!!

Would any man leaves the affairs of his entire household in care of his best friend when he's quiet capable of running it himeself?  Though, it must be added that, the

To help teach a foolish Yoruba a lesson in history.

"
. In 1951, major elections were held in the Eastern region of Nigeria with Eyo Ita becoming leader of the Eastern government and Azikiwe, leader of opposition in the Western Regional Assembly, a potential obscure position in light of his national repute.[3]
However, a few federal ministers from the N.C.N.C supported a trial run of the Macpherson Constitution of 1951, in contravention of Azikiwe's view of opposition. The ministers had an ally in Eyo Ita. This led to internal wrangling, and a power struggle began, leading to the exit of some of the ministers and Eyo Ita.[4] The new group latter formed the National Independence Party and Eyo Ita later became a member of the movement for the creation of the Calabar, Ogoja and Rivers State (COR State).

Why did he leave NCNC ? Was it not after the disgraced Zik lost out in the central legislation elections which the yoruba-dominated house of assembly didn't support him that made Zik return to iboland in order to make claim to his control over the party ? Ita was expelled from NCNC by Zik and his supporters and he (ita) later formed UNITED NIGERIA INDEPENDENCE PARTY which later formed an aliiance with Action group leading to the birth of UPN.

Stop posting weightless falsehoods on this forum. For umpteenth time, the issue that involved carpet-crossing on the floor of western regional house of assembly had no connection with federal or “central legislative” election. The issue in western region, after 1951 regional election, was centered on the political control and the premiership of the region. The federal representatives were appointed until 1956 federal election which Zik won in Onicha.

Ita and Udoma were politically disgraced at the polls by elementary school teachers. In fact, both were treated to a deceitful Yoruba political cocktail by Awo as all promises made by AG and Awo came up empty.

Stop posting weightless falsehoods on this forum. For umpteenth time, the issue that involved carpet-crossing on the floor of western regional house of assembly had no connection with federal or “central legislative” election.

Prof. Dede, am still waiting o! where's your proof that there was mat-crossing after the 1951 regional election in the western region, which Zik won

outright? Despite the fact that you have not been able to back up your claim with concrete evidence/s, you have the temerity to accuse others of posting "weighless

falsehoods". who's posting unsubstantiated tales here, now? who's passing off uncorroborated lies as fact?

Give us the names of these NCNC members who won a majority in the '51 election in western nigeria or else, just STFU.

You bold-faced LIAR!!!

The objective is that, just because the ibos were at the receiving end of a war they instigated does not give them the rights to embark on sheer

revisionism. Many others too are still feeling the pain from their loss as a result of the meaningless war, the ibos dragged us all, into. The ibos got what they asked for-

WAR. Unfortunately, they didn't stop to listen to opposition voices about its consequences. But what about those who didn't want war and were dragged into it and in

the process, lost many loved ones? They should not talk because the ibos suffered greater losses?

dayokanu:

I dont think this is a right way to look at it cos the revisionists amongst them who would always attempt to rewrite history.

How come when everyone talks about Biafra they conveniently omit the preceding events?

There wont be a civil war without a January 15 Ibo coup.

Ok Because Iraqis or Afghans lost vs America doesnt mean they would reverse history and tell us It was Black P0rn0graphy that caused the war

Well, I understand just that there seem to be no end to the back and forth. I suggest the discussion be kept civil from Yorubas end, no need to respond to insults. Just laying the facts and the history should be enough the way Katsumoto does it.
