who fabricated them? The fact is Ojukwu wanted to be head of state at all expense and he doesn't care who dies. TlAnd when he lost the war, you Igbos started shouting you were betrayed. Come to think of it do you really expect a yoruba man to sell his kinsmen out for your advantage?

sheyguy: When will an igbo man rule this country again? They are known traitors and no hopeful region will want assosiate with them. Forget GEJ and the Ebele-chukwu/Azikiwe thing, the Igbos are a well known group of people, proud and greedy to any extent with no remorse.
If the ibos had 73% of top army positions under their belt b4 the '66 coup, why not play non-violent politics for what 'they claimed' they wanted to achieve? But no, they went after anything that poses a threat to their selfish interest . . . and when it turned sour, they choose to depend on their 'brothers'. . . brothers indeed! . . . Lol . . .i laff in harsh reality.

cosmatika: U re d most stupid prsn I'v eva seen. So U knw JEG is not an Igbo man but U dont knw dat Kaduna Nzeogwu is also now an Igbo man? Go and ask ur history teacher if atall u attended any skl, wia Nzeogwu hails frm. Ijiot

centje: and u actually think u undertand what happen then with this ur post.

Starvation came when food supply frm charity agencies like red cross,france and few african countries where cut off by the nigerian govt. There's no way you wuld espect ppl to farm in war time. The war needed to end to save the lives of civilians women and children.

CyberG: Good to get your opinions, but we still need to get to the root of why it OKAY when Lt. Col Banjo led an entire army against his people (no shouts of BETRAYAL from our SE Nigerians) but when ANOTHER man who DID NOT MAKE any agreements with Ojukwu, then it is BETRAYAL?? Pitch in guys, this is the time to show your strength of true character!

pharmow:
Chukwuma Kaduna-Nzeogwu was from present day delta state former bendel state though Igbo speaking delta.

sheyguy:
i intentionally ignore his direct question as it is a known fact that delta igbos are as good their Anambran brothers. The guy probably has no clue as to who i am that's why he choose me to direct such a weak argument at.

sheyguy: More on the full gist? I laugh in beer parlour gist over telephone swag . . . We shld allow sleeping dawgs lie . . . I believe the real mature igbos av long learnt their lessons. All these twisting of facts and name calling is not really necessary.

sleekdot:

Is Biafra not supposed to find a way of getting their own supply? Why should Nigeria be the one shouldered with allowing food into your territory

Like Adekunle said, Would the Russians allow food into German during WW2?

But since Ibos arent known to reason properly, I guess its a genetic daftness among them that would expect your enemy to allow food in your territory

oil suop: YORUBAS ARE BORN SABO,THAT IS WHY BANJO HAS TO PAY WITH HIS MISERABLE LIFE,THEY SAY IF POISONOUS SNAKE AND A YORUBA MAN ENTER YOUR HOUSE KILL THE YORUBA MAN FIRST B4 THE SNAKE BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE DANGEROUS.......

Ukpaianthony: Cyberg or wat ever is ur name,Don't put ur family in trouble,U re treading where an angels fear to tread,No body challenges the igbo's,go n meet ur father n ask him abt the war!!!! Better go sleep,, u slimmie fool

samkoro:

The only yoruba author I trust is Wole Soyinka.All writeups/books written by yoruba authors Iv read is unbelieveably scewed/biased/lopsided and subtly or overtly denigrating anything outside of yorubaland.If I'm lying,just take time and read punch for 5 month and observe unfair daily critism of any GEJ,Patience,Iwuala,Madueke,NNAJI despite their great efforts in their respective ministries.

My several observation of the yorubas convinces me that they are never interested in the progress of others except theirs.They are so self absorbed in themselves.I'm just watching to see where this thing they call sophistication will lead them to,because I know that no man is an island and givers never lack.

So tell me why I should read something written by an Ademoyega.In matters of Biafra I refer people to books written by international authors like Frederick Foresythe ,not even Igbo authors who are not usualy biased.

macjive01:

dont be silly , banjo left the troops at ore while he went to ibadan to negotiate nonsense which was against ojukwu's directive.
ojukwu had directed him to march down to lagos, Biafrans only advantage was the element of surprise. which Banjo dissipated by negotiating at ibadan who subsequently BETRAYED banjo by informing Lagos.

[size=18pt]If the LIBERATING force had gotten to Lagos - FORGET IT! - by now, the Mars rover-curiosity would have been a project of the Biafran space Mission. (BIASM) [/size]

macjive01: [size=18pt]dayakanu, the problem with you is that you under estimate the sheer biblical strength of the Igbos.[/size]


go and ask any solider who fought the war till the end.

pound for pound - in terms of how many soldiers died- the Biafran military defeated Nigerian forces hands down, despite having a more rudiment weapon. ( Biafran are master tacticians )

Biafran Achilles heel was the kwashoiko which was allien to the masses, it was new and had no know treatment- hence killed a lot of people.
it is estimated that 3m biafrans died in the war, of that 2.7 were children and women.

towards the end of the war Biafrans turned the tide with guerrilla warfare of which small units were dispersed to various FG locations to wittle down the f.u.cktards.

towards the end of the war, biafran suddenly began to have better equipment- this was necessitated from the levy ojukwu charged the Aid /humanitarian agencies.which was subsequently used to buy arms, as well as improvement in the potency of the OGWUNIKWE -mass destroyer

toward the end of the war , Biafran began to win back territories, may be more like displace FG forces at Biafran territories. do you know till the last day of war, fight was still on going at calabar, where the first shot was fired ?

macjive01:


[size=18pt]ASK YOURSELF, WHY DID BIAFRAN ARMY RISK THEIR LIVES MARCHING TO LAGOS, WHEN ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS DEFEND THEIR TURF ?

WHY WOULD OJUKWU PERMIT THE ARMY TO BE LED BY AN Yoruba, IN THE PERSON OF BANJO, WHEN MORE EXPERIENCE AND CAPABLE OFFICERS WERE AVAILABLE ?

Northern Muslim Elders Reply Asari Dokubo: Go And Read Your History
Posted: August 13, 2012 - 16:51
Asari Dokubo
By SaharaReporters, New York
Prominent Northern Muslims elders, represented by Alhaji Usman Faruk, a former military governor of North-West State during the General Yakubu Gowon regime, have dismissed the threats of the leader of the Niger Delta Volunteer Force (NDVF), Mujahideen Dokubo Asari, telling him to go and brush up on his History of Nigeria.
The response came yesterday at the Sultan Bello Mosque in Kaduna wher Faruk, a frequent face at the Sheik Ahmad Gumi’s Ramadan sermon, was asked to speak, from the elders’ perspective, on Asari’s threat to Northern Nigeria.
A source at the event related to SaharaReporters that Alhaji Faruk firstcommented that the elders had waited to hear whether President Goodluck Jonathan would say something about Asari’s threats to cutoff the North and his bragging about the armoury under the NDVF, but that no such response had come.
Of the elders, he then noted that they were the ones that fought the civil war. “We conquered them including their Bayelsa and gained victory, the answer I will give him is he is not the first to fly the kite.”
Faruk said that before the start of the civil war in 1967, his government set Chief Obafemi Awolowo free from prison although it was another government that had put him there.
“Eventually when the war was to startwith Biafra, [Awolowo] went to Ibadan and gathered all Yorubas that they should know the war about to commence was between the North and the East, and the Yoruba in the West were not part of it,” he said.
“We received this with shock and the whole Northerners met in Kaduna andwe issued them a warning that we heard they (Yoruba) were not part of it and we agreed but we have one demand,” he said.
That condition, according to him was the establishment of a One Mile Corridor. “From Offa which is in our region, from the rail line to the sea (wharf) we declare One Mile Military Corridor, meaning all of them who built houses within One Mile, we will crush down their houses. And nobody will stop our vehicles and vessels from accessing the sea, this we told our Yorubas in Ilorin to tell them. And fromthat time we never hear them. This is Military Corridor, we of the past hope our children will carry it,” warning that nobody could stop the people of the North, whom he said number 120 million, from accessing the sea.
“If he doesn’t know let Dokubo go and read history,” Faruk said. “Awolowo attempted he failed talk less of one boy.”
He also disputed the Nigeria’s population according to religion, blaming Obasanjo for refusing identification by religious faith in the 2006 census in order to avoid proving that Muslims are populated than the rest. “Today, our population is as Muslims is 120 million and the rest are50 million,” he said. “Because of this, ifcensus will be conducted again they must be column for religion.”
The source said Faruk also blamed politicians, including Northerners he claimed to have been bribed, for the onshore/offshore economic imbalance.
“This comprehension is above our people here it means, crude oil extracting in the sea and that in the non sea region,” he said. “From Lagos to the high sea it about 200 mile and people like Ghali Umar Na’abba in their time were bribed and they conceded to the onshore/offshore deceit. This case was taken to Supreme Court and the court ruled against it, despite that our lawmakersdid not do anything. Today, what Bayelsa State is collecting with just about 3 million people triple what Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa and Katsina States 10 times.”
He said that legislators of Northern extraction in the federal legislature must challenge and change this situation in view of the fact that the Supreme Court has ruled against it. If they cannot do it, he warned, they should all come back home.

Heck: POSTER u bi FOOL SHUTUPID IGNORAMUS
for calling IGBO ibo
IT IS IGBO plz ijiot

George4086: @cyberG: When u lack complete knowledge about a topic, it's better not to raise it. A wise man talks because he has something 2 say but a fool talks because he wants 2 say something. So i urge u my brother, speak wisely.

macjive01: apparently since you can't decode the answer, i will tell you.

the yoruba according to their leader who even before the massacre that led to the civil war was aggitating for secession, awolowo and others confined in ojukwu that they wanted out too, but couldn't because of the northern military power "besieging lagos and yoruba territory. ojukwu then sent an army led my a yoruba son to "LIBERATE " Yoruba land. what more could Ojukwu have done ?

Ojukwu declare Biafra which is ample reason for the yoruba to declare as well, since they have always agitated for it.

Ojukwu sent an army, with the leadership of a yoruba son to fight ur fight. ( which is basically to dislodge a battalion of hausa led force stationed in lagos and environs)

Ojukwu release your imprisoned leader who was at the fore front of the secession agitation.


what did Biafra get in return ? [size=18pt]Betray and Cowardice[/size] of the highest order.


what a tribe! now you see why nobody takes your noise serious anymore ? last fuel crisis was a clear example.

The only leverage Yoruba still has is Lagos. remove the seaport in lagos and yorubas will be as epileptic as northeast zone.

CyberG:

Because they only skirt the question. In school, it is an F grade to skirt the question, providing details that do not address the question. Again, read my last clarification.

tunnytox:

Please why were these 'few' men celebrated for their blood thirsty venture by several igbo people all over Nigeria? why did Igbos taunt other tribes, release taunting music and t-shirts after these murderers kill prominent leaders of other tribes?
These actions of Igbos then makes all other tribes in Nigeria to believe that Igbos cannot be trusted as they are only concerned about themselves alone and their unquenching thirst to dominate other tribes in Nigeria.
Read a bit of history man! and read it without any form of prejudice.

wesley80:
I'm sure there's a provision for "modify" on your first post isn't there? If your intention is honest why don't you correct your initial error(?) into what most will deem acceptable? You more than anyone knows "Ibo" is viewed as a slight in this forum.
