I don't remember U being my broda,I am a twin and beliv me,my twin bruv is way too intelligent,he won't even giv U any audience,if he percieves your  shallowness and your shitty views.
Like I said b4,U can continue your shit talk as long as U don't call any1's name.
As for hangin out with U, Hahahahaha, Don't push your luck,U re only allowed to wish kid!
As for xchanging ideaz with U,U must ve been in planet pluto not to ve noticed dat am so done with doing dat with U,bsidz U dont ve any idea, screws,nuts,cut & slice aint ideas,even d dumbest kidz ve all dat.Incase U ve'nt noticed U ve bored d thread with your shouting,grouches &whinning.Like my friend use to say:if U love "Glass" without the G,and i to take away d L whateva is left is wat U re,  Get a lyf child! 

"Speaking with reporters on the incident, 'Major' Anayo Chukwunonso, who claimed to be a leader of the MASSOB militia, said the organisation was unhappy with Governor Obi for allegedly stopping the monthly payment made to them by previous governments in the state."



Questions that are begging for answers:

How long was the former governor before Obi, supporting massob and how much did he paid them?

Is there other Igbo governors who supported massob in the past and what is the financial cost?

Are there other Governors presently  supporting massob?

Are there other Governors presently paying massob?

From your expert of opinion as to what choices was available to Ojukwu towards the end of the war, I will take it that you had fought a war before to know? or Your father was a field marshal? Your grand father fought in Burma as a field marshal too?
I am sure you're from a known warrior like family, may be you should share that with the rest of the world, arm chair general, Sir!!!

And who did Abacha and Mustapha used in killing Abiola and his wife?
Who did the unseen force used in killing Bola Ige?
Who did OBJ used in impeaching Fayose and Ladoja?
Who did they use in killing Barrister Daramola in Ekiti State?
Who did they use in killing Funsho williams in Lagos?
Where did you think Kola Balogun (MONEY HATER) comes from? Ebonyi state?
Senator Kila or Killer must have come from Umuahia.
Madam Ette (ANOTHER MONEY HATER) must be representing Onitsha West constituency?

You see!! you are not as clever as you think you are because, I think you conviniently forget this and remeber what you wants to remember.
I get it, Igbos love money and you and your people loveeeeeeee? street party?
Spare part trader, who is your landlord in your own land is worse than sons of the soil sleeping under the bed. I am sure.

Nzeribe was used to annul June 12 and the likes of Shonekan, Arisokola, Diya, Ebenezer Babatope, Jakande, Adedibu, OBJ were used to actualise.

Ojukwu's trumpcard to the Presidency of Nigeria -  a big joke!


 He had led Biafra into war, but became the first to jump ship leaving Philip Essien- his reluctant war weary Deputy from Cross River State, to be the one to surrender to "Osagyefo" Olusegun Obasanjo who as Commander of the third Marine Commando finally ended the war. Ojukwu gave the impression he was leaving Biafra to recoup and regroup and to start a Government in exile. But once he escaped with his life and booty, he quickly abandoned all those promises, leaving Phillip Essien and those left behind to their own devices. That is hardly the stuff that a good leader is made of in my judgment. Who can guarantee that Ojukwu would not repeat the same offence, if for any reason the country has to face a similar cul-de-sac in the foreseeable future which is quite conceivable - if Ojukwu is a more visionary leader who truly love the country, rushing back to partisan politics after his return from exile, should have been the least of his worries.

He had just led an insurrection that had revealed so much about the potential resourcefulness of the Igbos of Nigeria who found a way to refine the Nigerian crude oil in support of their war effort. They also managed to improvise devices like the "Ugbunigwe" that proved so effective in stopping the Federal troops at Abagana, forcing them to consider driving a herd of cattle ahead of the advancing troops in the hope the cattle would trip off the mines, and save the troops from walking into them without notice, like they did in Abagana. If Ojukwu had focussed all his attention in getting the Federal Government to put more money in developing such resources and scientific breakthrough in Biafra, perhaps Nigeria would have gained something, and that achievement would probably have turned out to be one of the silver lining to come from the civil war.

In other civilized countries a man like Ojukwu would have written several books providing future generations with useful lessons from the war. Ojukwu was the exact opposite of a man like Saddam Hussein of Iraq who tried to mobilize the limitless resources and determination of his people to rebuild Baghdad and Iraq after the Gulf War without outside help.

Second, when Ojukwu returned to Nigeria following the unconditional pardon or amnesty granted him by Shaghari with the hope of securing the Igbo vote in his epic battle with Awolowo and Azikiwe,Ojukwu did so in a way and manner that betrayed his flawed character as a leader. Few would have expected him to go into partisan politics soon after coming back. That was precisely what he did, having signed off his discretion and objectivity, by joining the party of his estwhile implacable enemies in the North while deserting the Party floated, in large part, by the people he had led into fighting a war he knew he could not win. Little wonder therefore that he ran for a senatorial seat, and lost badly to a relatively unknown opponent. A man who could not win a senatorial seat at Nnewi - his own base at the height of his political power in the East, now want to run for national office as President of the whole Federation.

And guess what? He now wants to run for the sole purpose of making sure that the Igbos were not maginalised again. He forgot the poor image and reputation of the Igbos as "political prostitutes" who will settle for anything as long as the price is right, actually began with the propensity of individuals like Ojukwu who will abandon a cause just to salvage his own selfish interest. He was ready to take anything from Shaghari once he was promised the abandoned properties of his father, taken over by the Federal, would be returned to him, if he returns to Nigeria to join the party of the great majority of those he had accused of progrom against his own people in the Biafran war. What kind of leader is that?

The only thing good about Ojukwu is his gift of the garb.But it takes more than sheer eloquence to rule a country as complex as Nigeria. How could any national leader worth his salt, begin his campaign for the presidency by tellinig all and sundry, that he wanted that office just to be able to champion the interest of only a unit in what is supposed to be a Federation of equal partners. He seems to have forgotten that the rest of Nigeria and especially the North is ever so suspicious of the Igbos under his leadership , having once tried to break up Nigeria. The general feeling is that the igbos could try it again if they find themselves in a position of power like Ojukwu is foolishly trying to do,

In my judgment, Ojukwu cannot be taken as a serious candidate. Only the likes of Alex Ekwueme and other prominent and rational igbos can be saying that kind of thing with some credibility.Most Nigerians view Ojukwu at best as a naked Emperor who is not aware he is indeed naked. He cannot win, and does not deserve to win any elected office in Nigeria. He was lucky he was not even tried for treason for his role in the Bifran war from 1967 to 1970. Ojukwu loves nobody but himself. His professed candidacy should be taken for what it really is - a joke or at best a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. If selfishness were to be a sport in the Olympics, Ojukwu will, sure, be a gold medalist. I cannot for the life of me, imagine how a person with that kind of profile could believe that he can ever be president of Nigeria. It is a dog's dream that will never come to pass.

Achuzia to Ojukwu: You’re wrong to have collected pension from Nigerian Army



By BUCHY ENYINNAYA, Asaba
Monday, February 4, 2008

Fellow Biafran compatriot and Ohanaeze chieftain, Joe Achuzi’a, has criticized the decision of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, to collect pension from the Nigerian Army.


Achuzia was a key figure in the Biafran army during the seccessionist bid led by Ojukwu between 1967 and 1970. The rebellion was crushed by the federal forces.

Ojukwu, a Lt Colonel in the Nigerian Army before the war, collected his pension three weeks ago, a development Achuzia faulted, saying: “If I were the Biafran head of state, my first duty on being called upon to be compensated would be, no, my friend. You pay the men who made it possible for me to survive, and for you to recognize me as your former colleague. Those that rallied round, and wore uniform in my colour, under my command must be compensated, living or dead.”

Popularly known as ‘Air raid’ during the war, Achuzia stresses further: “For me, he (Ojukwu) was wrong. I have never challenged whatever he does, but he would be the last person I would expect to collect his pension. We fought under his colour. We believed in him. And we still believe in him. But I believe he might have a better excuse why he did so. I can’t answer for him.”

Commenting on the insult Chief Ojukwu was said to have received when he went for the pension, Achuzia queried his former boss for ever going there in the first instance, stressing that the insult was not only to Ojukwu but also to all who wore Ojukwu’s colour in the name of Biafra.

According to him, “ Ojukwu felt offended the way he was addressed and the way his pension payment was orchestrated. We have a saying in Igbo language: ‘Onye kporo wata nwanyi nwunye ya, mereka okpo ya iyi’ In other words, an elderly man who goes after a young girl, calling her his wife, should be prepared for any rubbish he gets from the young lady.

If Ojukwu didn’t go there to answer the call, or to show himself as a former Nigerian military man, I don’t think that a boy who either wasn’t born or wasn’t old enough to participate in the civil war, should be addressing him as Lieutenant Colonel Ojukwu, because the insult is not only to Ojukwu but to all of us who wore Ojukwu’s colour in the name of Biafra. Whether Nigeria likes it or not, the issue of the civil war was inconclusive and remains inconclusive till date.”
