I'm a yoruba guy but i definitely detest what Nigeria did to the Ibos. . . Pathetic. The same Nigeria isn't progressing 41 years after the genocide. |

Quote 4m true2God Not allowing the Biafrans to set pace for a truly and ambitious African nation might forever be Africa’s greatest undoing. Just my opinion 100% correct, ur thinking. |

@Onlytruth-----Thanks a lot for that video, I have been played it over 20times now. Hash86: Fool, your location gave you away. You mallams have scattered that country and still won't let go. You guys originally should have joined Chad, Somalia or Sudan @OP-----Ojukwu saw all these coming and I challange anyone to tell me one of the things Ojukwu said in that speech that is not abound today in our country. Nigerians love living in denial. |

High_Chief: can you imagine, is he not inciting hate against the hausa and the fulani people ? Why are you talking like this ? |
Re: Ojukwu's Speech On Biafra's Second Year Anniversary (omg! Very Inspiring) by Dede1(m): 8:58pm On Oct 22, 2011 |
alj_harem: How could Ojukwu be inciting hatred against Hausa and Fulani people? When Ojukwu made the speech, every moronic Hausa or Fulani person who can carry AK47 was marching towards eastern region of Nigeria and singing “kill nyemiri double pay”. |
Re: Ojukwu's Speech On Biafra's Second Year Anniversary (omg! Very Inspiring) by aljharem3: 9:09pm On Oct 22, 2011 |
Dede1: Hausas are not like that, from this I know you do not know them. In every society, there are miscreants and touts. The present day OPC members are the touts the present day Ijaw Youths are touts The present people that doing the bad acts are the touts. It is not the people per-say here is ojukwu's comment But the Nigerians, under the leadership of the Hausa Fulani feudal aristocracy, preferred anarchy and injustice----------- |
Re: Ojukwu's Speech On Biafra's Second Year Anniversary (omg! Very Inspiring) by Dede1(m): 9:21pm On Oct 22, 2011 |
alj_harem: I do not know which Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri, Nupe, Bachama, Tiv, Birom, Idoma or Igala you referred in your post. However, the all the members of the listed group that marched toward the eastern region of Nigeria in 1967 shouting and singing “Kill nyemiri double pay” are worse than miscreants. Again the speech where you cull the excerpt you posted was the part of Ahiara Declaration made in 1969. |

The speech said it all. Just take a rating of Nigeria before & after that period to answer for urslf if the entity called Nigeria is worth staying in as a citizen. Believe it or leave the earlier everybody realises that the PARTICLE termed Nigeria doesn't exist to favour ppl presenlty living in it the BETTER 4 all. Luxembourg is currently the world richest nation & 100% literate, what's her population? Probably one Biafran state. If what's gonna make ppl happy & comfortable is to disintegrate Nigeria, damn it, disintegrate the particle termed Nigeria. You think the Biafran state wouldn't have been like Luxembourg by now? |
Re: Ojukwu's Speech On Biafra's Second Year Anniversary (omg! Very Inspiring) by aljharem3: 9:30pm On Oct 22, 2011 |
Dede1: Dede1, I know you are a well learned person and I am such you are aware that in every story are 2 sides to it. From you post, I can deduce that you have resentment for northerners. On the positive side, you do not hate SWerners again. That is a step on the right path Dede1, I can not recall people shouting kill nyamaria in the war (according to history books) also if it happened, I am sure it was made by the soldiers not by the citizens. Baifran armies must have done the same but of course not recording aka kill abokis. The war was done based on misunderstanding and it should be forgotten by now. Philip Effiong before his death said[i] the war was a fight between brothers[/i]. So really I do not know why you would bring the chants of the soldiers as the chants of the whole northern people. People are individuals you know. |

i am not worried by his speech, ojukwu is a failure, just like biafra, a big fat failure, a born failure |
Re: Ojukwu's Speech On Biafra's Second Year Anniversary (omg! Very Inspiring) by HighChief4(m): 10:14pm On Oct 22, 2011 |
^^^And your fathers and ancestors that insisted for ONE NIGERIA are what? Has the present condition of Nigeria not vindicated Ojukwu? I wonder if you actually know the meaning of "failure" |

alj_harem rubbish, so that young minds like you and others can keep harbouring hate in your hearts abi @^^ I am surprised at you that you see our collective "national history" in terms of ethnic bias etc. True national history for better understanding of our collective national malaise is not about finger pointing or scoring ethnic biased points etc. Why would you advocate deliberate historical amnesia and ignorance for Nigeria whereas we gladly learn the history of other nations warts and all. Please think about it deeply and understand that national history in its true sense is not about being selective of what we want to learn or not but what it is because as we all know, there are still living witnesses and active 'actors' in our living history. It's not yet fossilised like ancient history beloved by some of us. This aspect of our national history is very much in our collective memory and psyche hence we are having this conversation. Please try to banish/eschew your instinctive bias when trying to deal with modern living Nigerian history no matter how unpalatable we may find some of the "stories". It is part of our collective national heritage ugly or not . We must deal with it |

alj_harem:I don't know why Dede1 is even dignifying you with civil responses. Who here on NL does not recognize your redundant antics? You are begining to feel learned because DedE1 prolly forget the F'UcTARD that you are and is unwittingly indulging you. Don't get too comfortable in your low I.Q and begin to feel you ve been giving intelligent posts hence the responses from the likes of Dede1( whom I would ve expected to just curse you out and expose you), you are no good to anybody whether Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa, you raving lunatic disguising as an intellectual. What a piece of useless a$$!! |

Any eeediot can easily recognize that you do not know what you are yapping about here, keep jumping from one pillar to another in pretense.

i thot dis article was meant 2 b educative?, cos it looks 2 me like all its done is stir bad blood, but i got a few questions, Lets say ojukwu succeeded nd d republic of biafra was declared, wat wuld happen if d whole republic thing didnt work out as planned, cos 4rm d speech above, looks 2 me like ojukwu was neva gona solicit 4 xternal help wen d republic is setup, We believe in ojukwu, but do d other igbo leaders hav d same passion as he did, or were they juss supportin him cos they knew their stakes wuld go higher if d republic pulled thru, nd judgin by d breed of igbo politicians out nw, it obvious biafra wuld prolly b in thesame mess as nigeria nw, 4 me gettin d republic up wasnt d issue, its stickin 2 d original plan ojukwu had which happend 2 b noble, u cant read an article n cry foul against d hausa, if u read d history of d hausas u'll understand dat they've only suffered 4rm their hospitality, they welcomd d arabs they brought slavery, they welcomd d fulanis, they in turn brought oppression, war n religion which 4rm d onset was nt portrayed 2 b a religion of peace, so i dnt support ojukwu seein d other tribes as evil or inferior, dis same feelin pushed hitler 2 massacre d jews, i dnt believe in bloodshed, so i ask again, judgin by d crop of igbo leader we hav nw, do u tink they culd hav being able 2 sustain d independence of biafra nd nurture her 2 maturity witout help 4 d west? cos ojukwu was nt gonna rule 4eva even tho we knw he had a plan on hw 2 make biafra great, nd d other african nations had their problems too, they wnt hav left their problems 2 solve ours, or shuld we let go of all d hate n bad blood nd juss pray 2 God 2 intervene nd give us leaders who are selfless?, cos i believe as nigeria, we culd b great 2geda |

mathskill How did the Arab-muslim expansion take place?was there ever an islamic that came to africa?is it comparable to the pillage,plunder,violation,theft of natural resources of africa the division of the continent itself between the colonial powers and the massacre and slavery that africans had to endure in the hands of european christians.Ojukwu should tell me which Arab or muslim leader did that to Africa. ^^Whaooo I can't believe that in this day and age there are so called "educated" Nigerians lacking in basic historical knowledge of pre-colonial Africa(before the arrival of the marauding Europeans). Arab does not necessarily equate to muslim just as European is not necessarily of Christian values/beliefs. Bro You need to review your history lessons and sources too. Ordinary common sense should be enough to disabuse your ignorance of African history especially that of North Africa and the Arab incursion/conquest of our lands including northern Nigeria. |

What else can someone say? BTW, those of u saying that ojukwu's running away amounts to cowardice, do remember that Elijah ran away, at the instruction of God, from jezebel after the mount camel bedlam? |

When furfy was raised claiming that ojukwu is dead, this mods did waste time in taking it to front page. When someone derogated ojukwu by comparing him with ghaddaffi, it was the same. Now , ,, ,., |

delpee:Who cares about your look warm respect? Whenever I hear pathetic Nigerians drowning themselves with this phrase that Ojukwu ran away and abadoned his people, you have question their real motive and sanity. The same people you claimed that he abadoned is the same people your starved to dead, seized their money and properties, made common food they eat a contraband. So what exactly is this sentiment of abandonment? So you cared for this peoples now more than Ojukwu? Ojukwu was there from start till the end, he was a war front leader through out the campaign and not the type that sit at home giving orders. But on the eve of the surrender, our people asked him to leave because his humiliation in the hand of our enemies would have finished our people mentally. The fact that Ikemba was safe gave us the strength to recover to the surprise of those that planned otherwise. It was the frustration of losing a war trophy (Ikemba) that is behind the usual nonesense that Ojukwu abandoned his people because they wanted him humiliated but his self exile denied them the sadistic hunger and its funny those abandoned are not the one whining but those that planned to celebrate as the parade him as a war trophy on the streets of Lagos. At the heat of the June 12, MKO Abiola ran to London, but we don't hear the same cry of abandonment, even when there is no war going on. Walter Sisulu, Mbeki Sr and all ANC leaders ran away to Angola and other places to fight the evil aparthied from there, when Mandela was isolated in prison. They are still heroes to the struggle and no one had accused them of abadoning their people. I am sure that the Hebrew history is full of Moses running away and abandoning his people or Jesus when his parents ran away to Egypt to protect him in the hand of King Herod? 1 Like |
