LOL you see you are very funny and yet you claim to be educated. Oh well, you are Igbo so I don't expect anything better grin grin grin

Now Okoro man listen, It is not every single book or article Google book would chose to show preview on. It all depends on the copy right law binding it. Although, you can find quotes from such books but not previews



Go check the thread, I replied you and if you watched the video, you would see that biafrans were being brought it by Nigeria soldiers to lagos for rehabilitation from the war. Also go watch videos on youtube concerning that.

You think because it's been months that I am not going to go back several of my post to bring out that thread and the video. I maybe lazy to go back several of my posts in address to others but in terms of you, i can't stand you and I like disgracing you so nigga give me 10 mins. i'll be back with the video and the thread. Don't you dare erase it. You go eat your words today.

Lastly, I'll ask since when did "book" turn to "newspaper interview"? to keep you company. I day wait for the reply. you are afterall Yoruba. You do what your people are known to do best, run to the media and recoin sh1t. Post and claim accuracy. We'll wait for how a supposed "interview" by ojukwu which we can't verify becomes his book that we can verify but cannot verify if that words is actually his from the book. We'll wait.

Give me 10 mins. The video and that thread will be here as well. I repeat again, don't you dare go back and erase it.

Who is this idioit!. Did Awolowo ever went to jail the second time?. I don't blame you, it is those imbecilic opinion molders in your village that are feeding you with lies. You and your tribesmen are just tools in the hands of morons. Awolowo did not take his life, your brother Ojukwu rather was the one who took his own life. Ode o shi
WHAT EXACTLY DID AWOLOWO ACHEIVE SEF? ONE BONE HEAD JUST SAID FREE EDUCATION AND OUTLYING BLAH BLAH BLAH. I UNDERSTAND THE OUTLYING THOUGH.

i found the article. Now I asked you the question in page 11 https://www.nairaland.com/898975/awo-knew-truth-biafra-he/11. Underneath my name, I saw no reply from you from that page 11 to the end of page 12. Where is your reply?

Now the video
http://www.itnsource.com/en/shotlist/ITN/1967/07/22/FS220767102/?s=arrive+baifra+lagos&st=0&pn=1

Everyone and anyone watch this video above coined "Biafran reguee in Lagos or whatever". In the boatride, all the passengers we saw are "white". At the end after the boat docked, the people exiting the boat are yet again "white" and two black girls so Alj_harem I ask again where did you see Biafrans in that video? and when did "Oyinbo" become "Biafrans"? I am waiting for the answer and I have been waiting for months. I know you didn't watch the video, instead of you to just admit it like the damn chameleon lying slowpoke that you are, you hold onto to it hoping noone would check. I can't stand chameleon lying mofos like yourself. After we are done with this one, we'll move on to the rest of the sh1t I've asked you to verify that you avoid like a plague.

See this ugly b1tch. I am not worth replying? My dear did I ask you to reply my first post earlier? Did I drag your ignorant self to click reply, forcing me to give my attention for one second to a m0ron? You carry your stupidity into my post, like a mouse use some stupid insult and when insulted back, the b1tch crawls back. 1diotic buffon. As I said, join your leader in hell if my post is hurting you so much.

Btw: before calling someone "unintelligent" make sure you know how to spell and write. it is "realized" not "realised". It's a "z", not an "s". Also it's "unintelligent", not "unintelligence" but then again you might be the product of free Awolowo education so I am not surprised.

9jaCrusade:


=First profound Educational System in Africa that left a people educationally outlying others even till today in the country...

=Founding the Legacy for a University that at the time of its creation was the 5th most valuable real estate in the third world and still is the best in Nigeria

=The First Television Station in Africa when a large part of Europe didn't have one...and England had just had one less than a decade before

=Minister of Finance of a country, employed from jail, who managed the country without a single debt, leaving a trade surplus during war and peace time, a feat that not even Britain's PMs could not achieve....

=A man awarded to do a doctorate Study in Economics for the prestigious foremost UK university-Oxford without an MSc in Economics..

=One still studied in the East in the area of Political Studies in a subject called Awoism

=First Skyscraper Building in Nigeria


=First and only leader in black Africa to institute a functioning Free Health Sysytem for His region for years....all these without the oil money of the present day

=Produced proteges who have also achieved great feats in the country like Jakande, Bola Ige etc... Still remains the Single Icon/mentor of Achievers like Governor Fashola

=Prime Minister of Britain Ed Heath confessed that Awo was fit and would succeed as President of the US and Prime Minister of England...No other testimony impresses me like this...Up till today, it has never been said of any African or Middle Eastern or Asian Leader...

This is the caliber of person you are asking what he has done to command the respect of Gen Ojukwu(of blessed memory)?
Do you know what you are saying? I bet you don't. Go and read more. Bless you!


I just came back from Ibadan the seat of Awo's government. In case you don't know, Ibadan is the largest squalor in Nigeria . .They say that "charity begins from home". If Awo's anarchist regime in Ibadan is what he intends to replicate throughout the country, then I remain grateful to God for keeping him away from the seat of president of Nigeria. The closest he came to the seat, he masterminded humanitarian and economic genocide.

By the way, do you know about the oil boom during Gowon government? Do you think that Awo is actually an economic genius? Think again. . .

alj harem: ^^^^^^ reading the above speech by Ojukwu, one would understand why Igbos are jealous and angry that they never had such a leader. Very well so, it is just envy that's all grin grin grin grin

It takes a great courage for someone to praise his political opponent. I read a book written by Nnamdi Azikiwe, he had only kind words to say about Awo. But when I read Awo's book, he had nothing positive to say about Zik. Now tell me who behaved like a statesman?

Again, remember that it is in our culture to say something positive aout someone when he dies.

Dude why are so you obsessed with Ibadan sef? Where are you from? tell us if your state is Dubai of Nigeria. If you don't have anything good to say it will do you good to stop repeating the same thing over and over again.

You guys behave like touts, talk ill of other tribes and their leaders but when the table is turned you'll start to whinge and play victim.
Please tell us the achievements of your little god ojukwu and what he achieved for your race.

He always make posts about how dirty Ibadan is almost on every thread yet he won't stop going to Ibadan! if the place is so filthy and unwelcoming I wonder what he and many of his brothers still doing in Ibadan. Why are these guys such a bunch of ingrates? I don't know of many Yorubas living in yiboland, I for one will count it as a curse to live there (for what? I'll rather live in Niger or cotonou instead).

Need I mention them? Top of the list is that Zik was at the forefront of the fight for Nigeria's independence. He was a selfless leader who was willing to make the painful political compromise to favour the whole nation. He made compromises to the detriment of his tribe; to the detriment of his political career. This is why Zik is not celebrated in the east. Cos in his bid to appease other tribes, he forgot to bring back our share of national cake.

Nigeria still remembers Zik up till today. That is why they name many national monuments, streets, airports, etc were named after him.

In our culture, we say something positive about our enemies even when he dies. That's how gentlemen behave.

My people say that "you determine how delicious a soup is from its aroma". Since Awo's seat of government is chaotic, how dare you tell us that we would have gotten a better deal under him?
