It is human nature to always look for someone to blame for self-inflicted woes. No amount of logic can change that.

It seems a lot of Igbo people do not understand the issues. Here are the facts.

- Awolowo was part of the people that implemented the blockade. (No doubt about this)
- However, blockades were a legitimate instruments of war in 1966. There was nothing illegal about blockades in 1966.
- The blame of starving civillians lie squarely on Ojukwu feet for the following reasons:
1) No one should go to war knowing that his war enemy controls his source of food, without making alternate arrangements
2) Ojukwu saw civillians dying yet he kept rejecting the use of the mercy corridors by international charities to bring in food
3) Ojukwu say civillians dying yet he did stop the war if he had no way of providing food to civilians
4) Most of the food being brought in were snatched by Biafran soldier and it never got to the civilians
5) The real reason Ojukwu did not do anything about starving civilians is becasue the imagery of starving civilians is the only propaganda that worked and gained Biafra sympathy from the outside world. This sympathy in Ojukwu's mind gave him hope that the outside world will support Biafra's war effort. And this was the only path to victory in Ojukwu's mind. Unfortunately, he miscalculated and ended up sacrificing hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Can we now move on...

He is sad that he has to wait for meagre pensions after lecturing stupidity in nigerian university that he has resorted to asz-licking oil subsidy beggars for some crumbs.
Shame on his family. Shame on his ummunna if they don't excommunicate him.

That's a good comment. Faultless.



Interesting!



Interesting!



This is an undiluted reality. No Igbo, I repeat, no Igbo has come up with any alternative to the twenty pounds policy. If you have bank papers, go to your bank and cash your money. If you don't have papers, well too bad. How are we going to verify your claims? So spoils of war, take 20pounds each in addition to whatever you have in bank. (if there are papers to substantiate your claims)

I am still waiting for them to counter this statement. Ojukwu, the rebel leader, even got all his belongings.



Flawless.

I want to believe that it is your personal opinion that 90% of Igbo youths share similar view with Achebe. In my view the present generation of Igbo Youths have gone passed the atrocities of the war committed against their fathers and have carved a niche for themselves politically,educationally and business wise.So revisiting the issue of Genocide against the Igbo people by a Yoruba in our current situation is not only useless but senseless.

Self deceit is a sign of insanity. Every right thinking Yoruba man know just how much we detest them.

Pls, this genocide accusation is getting on my nerves.
You plan on starting a war and your supply lines pass through enemy territory. I mean, how silly can you get Of course he'll block it sooner or later, what did you expect Ojukwu simply fail to carry out effective planning b4 starting the war and 3 million Igbos paid for it.

Wonder why they fought against Using UNILAG to immortalise Abiola.just because Abiola refused to be an 'eediot'. If its Dr.Nwaezeigwe,the yorubas will easily accept it. They have no respect for Soyinka because he refused to take the oath of idiocy.they are the tribe of e'idiot and cowards.
