[size=14pt] Igbo, Igbo, Ibo, Yanmirin. Okoro are all the same. who cares? Okujwu brought calamity to you all.[/size]

OMI EKO, EKO NI!!!

thoth: I wonder where the Nigerians would have been if Britain, USA, Russia, China and Egypt did not come to their aid. Their air force was totally made up of Egyptian pilots and their strategists were all British.
It beats me they are not ashamed of that.

khalids: Once again what is the profit of all this argument.........How those all this improve our lives.....
We should have progressive discussions......not this

LAFOCUZY: I read in a lot of posts made here and somewhere by young Nigerian who knew nothing or little told by people of the civil war- that the war was predetermined by Ojukwu out of ambition. Let me make a few points clear; Ojukwu asked Gowon to hand over power to the most senior officer- who incidentaly was the west and not himself- that did not happen.

I will like many of us to call-up posts made in this blog and think of your reaction at every incident of Boko Haram. The way you felt when you heard about the killings of innocent people by Boko Haram is the way Ojukwu and many ibos felt. The difference is that while xtian are mainly the victims of BK, Ibo were the victims of the attack at the time. And the scale was higher. Remember 30,000 people of Ibo extarction and from southern nigeria were killed. If you were the military head of the eastern part of the country....what will you do. Clips of the Biafran war are all over the internet. You will see in video how people were running back to the east. What Ojukwu did then perharps was the only option that made sense to him. he has to take action. please be aware it was not his sole decision. The name Biafra is not an Ibo word but was suggested by an Ijaw man- from the blight of biafra,

Osiris.211:
The old senile crippled fool called achebe murdered sleep. He thought he had monopoly of writing rubbish to the extent of trying to drag the legendary Awowolo to the gutter. we have for long overlooked their propaganda, but the gentility of the tiger does not in a way implies simplicity.

The called us names, bragged openly and defamed our people; even when 70% of their people feed from our region. They tried on several occasions to bully us into accepting their ethnocentric agenda and failed.

Secondly, Ojukwu was just a power drunk, chest beating, egocentric maniac that chooses to sacrificed his people to achieve his ambition. How could any sane person prosecute a war with zero chances of winning? The old senile bigoted goat called achebe didn't see anything to write about Ojukwu and the coup his fellow brothers ensured killing every other regional leaders leaving thiers to escaped.

They murdered Akintola, Sardauna, Tafawa Balewa, Sir Kashim and other fine gentlemen from mid west but allowed Nnamdi Azikwe, Michael Okpara to escape. What were they thinking when they murdered Akintola? nights of thousand laugh?

what were they expecting from northerners after killing Sardauna in cold blood and even went ahead to print T-shirts and released a musical album celebrating the murder of the finest gentlemen the northern region could ever produce?

I guess this is just the beginning and the sleeping lion has just been awoken . The next level for us is to take a proactive measure to purge our region from these ungrateful beg bugs.



Next time, the brainless ediots will surely have a rethink before writing trash.

LAFOCUZY: Why it appears that Awolowo is more hated is that most Ibos believe that he betrayed Ojukwu and perhaps without his strategy maybe Nigeria may not have won the war despite receiving MEN and arms at 15% its cost fro UK, Russians, Egyptian, UAE, Iran support.

Please I will advise young folks to deal carefully with this. Most people who make these posts didn't experience the civil war but the wound has been passed on to new genrations and who is passing it on to the next. Nearly every Ibo man I know do not really feel he is Nigerian. It appears something tells him he is not. And the rest of Nigerians are not helping either. So much suspicion about the ibo man even when they have not held any political office. Their brothers in delta are marginalized. Comments like.."you want to show me ibo sense"..."this ibo man"..."ibo man and money" etc. This is dangerous. This humiliation was what lead Germans to the second world war and though they lost- the world is yet to recover from the mayhem they caused- 9 million people killed. And now they are treated with more respect.
Gentlemen, lets help the ibos integrate into Nigeria. Another war will be far more disastrous. Nobody knows who will be a victim

Degis:

"Yawns". So much for incompetence!. If wining the Civil War is incompetence and your Leaders scampering to exile wearing Feminine attire, then dear Father in Heaven may I never be competent

CyberG: History can never be changed! Like truth, NO matter how hard you try to hide it, it ALWAYS catches up to you. Nigerians ought to know Ojukwu and his band of secessionist Ibos who lead Nigeria to a war that consumed 3 M+ lives, mostly the Iboz he claimed to lead. You be the judge as he speaks in his own words. Let us have an intellectual debate on this issue Nigerians and not sentimental arguments from which there is no benefit. I will be back!

I know you are intellectually bankrupted but did not know you were starkly blind and confused too. Even in the video you stupidly posted and disingenuously written on, you could not discern that Ojukwu was wearing Biafran military uniform. Most Nigerians are indeed moronic. Anything Ojukwu said in video, he did so as besieged Biafrans.

toksesho: [b]thoth: I wonder where the Nigerians would have been if Britain, USA, Russia, China and Egypt did not come to their aid. Their air force was totally made up of Egyptian pilots and their strategists were all British. It beats me they are not a[/b]shamed of that.

I promised myself I would not take sides but the statement above has to be corrected.

1. The USA kept out of supporting either side..world powers that did were the USSR, the UK and France.

2. NAF was not totally made up of Egyptian pilots...my father is a retired (and "evil 'Yorrobber'" NAF officer that risked his life in Kano in 1966 protecting officers, NCOs and civilians of Eastern Region extraction..he also got himself arrested for not following the Black Scorpion's order to bomb defenceless people (he must have caught then Col Adekunle in a benevolent mood to live and become 'friends' with the diminutive Brigadier)...other NAF officers who served include late AVM Yisa Doko, Air Cdre Falope ,Air Cdre Suleiman,late Air Mshl Ibrahim Alfa, A D Bello, the late Gp Capt Gbadamosi (callsign King),late Maj Dan Ato Air Cdre Uwayzor (callsign Larry) the late AVM Aleyideino(callsign Bob), AVM Osho, AVM Okpere ,AVM Lawal, late Air Mshl Yussuff, late AVM Ugah among others.Please note these are the ones I know....., late King, late Bob, late Ato and my father (callsign Roddy) were coursemates with 'Wg Cdr' Ezeilo, Ukeje (not sure what his last rank was) and late Onyeji training in Canada with the RCAF..

What all the men that served in NAF and BAF b.have in common is that they never bragged about their service in the tragedy called the Nigerian Civil War , did not get medals for the war and unlike 5 well known 'natural born killers' that ended up being Chiefs of the Army Staff in the 70s 80s and 90s see taking human life as regrettable.

CyberG:

The debate is not about his uniform, don't change the topic. This is just to show the empty and arrogant posturing of ojuku before the civil war and how he planned to do the worst to Nigeria. He said Nigerians will be surprised at what they would get. That is a threat, which could mean anything including using nuclear weapons, if he had it then. The point is ojuku and the ibo secessionists were ready and it makes no sense for a ready combatant to cry out when his enemy pummels him to oblivion. If it was another people, ibos will cry coward, all mouthed, no action. I guess ojuku showed iboz as exactly that: all-mouthed, no action cowards.

It is really funny most Nigerians are lost on the chronicle order of events leading to and during the civil war. Eastern region, like any other region in Nigeria, did not import or have power to import its weapon. The Nigeria government, like present, controls importation of weapon. Only a fool does not discern the rhetoric involved before the civil war started. Eastern region declared independent on May 29, 1967 and seven (7) days later, Nigeria led by idiotic Gowon attacked eastern region from both northern and southern flanks.

Of course, Ojukwu was spot on the subject of Nigeria would be surprised because eastern region which was numerically and militarily inferior to Nigeria and its allies were able to bloody the noises of the aggressors for three years. I guess a nutcase such as should remember that Britain, the major ally of Nigeria, had predicted Biarfra’s capitulation in two weeks. Was Ojukwu entertaining the journalists from Nigeria in the video clip you posted, olodo? Did you expect Ojukwu to tell Britain that Ndigbo were cowards and weaklings like Yoruba?

CyberG:

I think you should let the Yoruba people talk for themselves here and NOT rope me into your insecurity, your fear of THEM.

Now back to the issue, the tantrum of 1967 was avoidable for ojuku and ibo false and inflated ego of suffer-headedness. I am not insulting you but calling a spade a spade, okay? Do you not know that ojuku pretentiously goaded Nigerian leadership and governors (SMC) during negotiation that further arm importation be stopped and information about the location and quantity of arms be circulated? Well, guess what? He believed he would be outsmarting the more capable tacticians and military strategists on the Nigerian side for while doing that, he had intensified efforts to ship arms into biafra through Port Harcourt. Shortly after all this posturing, 2 ship loads of arms was secretly berthed in PH and ojuku, personally went to supervise the shipment of the arms to biafra. Do you know this story or you were not there? Some of us have been quiet for long but now, we will put iboz to the screws so badly they will cry till eternity.

The Nigerian army allowed the war to last for 2 year 6 months and 9 days so STOP all this ibo BS of 3 years. In fact, there were several spells in which the Nigerian army decided to let you get rested and see if ojuku would realize he was a loser before he killed more people but no way; the devil had charmed his big flat head. Waiting spells in a war is not new because even during WW 2, there were spells in which nothing was really happening and that is why you hear phraseologies like the "Phoney War", "Bore War", etc. So out of the actual period of the war, biafra didn't have anything to do but wait until the Nigerian gallant military commanders were ready to engage again with flanking manoeuvres, pincers, double pincers, forks, pin downs, punch throughs or the Nigerian blitzkrieg for which the biafrans were caught like deers in the headlights. The waiting periods also allowed the innocent kids and stupi.d warmongering secessionists to eat something for if not, starvation would be killing iboz as they just drop dead on the road. This is harsh truth and I know iboz cannot stand naked truth. iboz are so ungracious because there's nothing that makes it impossible for biafra to capitulate in 1 week. All that is required is 1,000 sorties of heavy bombers, dive bombers, rockets, etc carper bombing the whole land for 1 week, day and night! But even when the Nigerian leadership took it easy by not following that route, here are iboz still making mouth! Delusional dede and ibo losers.
