Osarieme415:
I do not understand a sentence of whatever you are trying to make... However let me state this succinctly,"all is fair in love and war."
The-David and Goliath- stunner ended in the days of the bible. A country who commits itself to the cause of war should be mighty enough to prosecute it to a logical conclusion. Goodbye

Osarieme415:

Let me purge you of your ignorance,the term; "NO VICTOR,NO VANQUISHED" underscored the absurdity of the avoidable war,"the igbos were Nigerians,and the war was to unite and integrate them with the rest of the country." Would you have been pleased if the Nigerian army, following the axis forces, proceeded to wipe your race off the face of this earth?
Then the cause of the war would have been defeated. There would have been nobody to integrate.
You can go on raving that Nigeria didn't win;the army of kwashiokor kids,starving women,thoroughly subdued army and overflooded refugee camps says otherwise.
You are ranting over a blockade of forty-four years,you should ask yourself why the Nigerian army didn't use the crudest form of chemical weapon;if the FG wanted to eliminate its ibo citizens afterall Salin was used in World War One.... .
You wouldn't understand.... No need trying to educate you
P.S. I hope your first nasty improperly constructed sentence wasn't directed at me... Don't start what you can't finish ooooh. ... That was how Biafra started looking for trouble

blackprowler:

Ibos were perhaps the leading ppl back in the '60s before some Ibo boys ruined it all for them with their active support. Ibos have none but themselves to blame...and they're now even worse as a result of their '60s experience, always doing "meetings" anywhere they are in Nigeria like they were an endangered minority in a foreign country

blackprowler:


My soul hurts for all time for what happened in the East in the '60s but I think the Ibo don't deserve my sympathies. They still worship the worst traitor they've ever produced and still blame others for what they brought upon themselves. Read about wars before Nigeria's. The wise avoids a war even if he might win. For you to champion one you can't win is beyond me. Reminds me of today's Hamas. I cry for myself and for Nigeria

dozzybaba:

Oga quit your rantings....
Lemme remind you of this words...

Britain's neutrality is equal to Biafran victory-Harold wilson to British Members of Parliament.

As for Biafra looking to trouble, Who fired the first salvo at Biafrans in Garkem(Biafraland), and where did they get their order.

I thought you were being unbiased till i saw this crap. I will treat exactly the way i treat bigots here.

dozzybaba:

I am Igbo and i agree with bolded wholeheartedly that's why i get angry when hypocrites come here crying about dead gaza women and children they saw on aljazeera.

Given the chance, i will do to the rest of Nigeria what it did to my people 20times over.

Might is Right.

Thank you all.

Osarieme415:
Garkem is in cross river state... Was Cross River part of the Eastern Region or Mid-Western Region before Gowon's 12-state creation?
Answer that question?
So Harold Wilson said that? Provide the source. Funny enough,you all keep referring to him as a war merchant...,the man from whom Gowon took his orders ,now you borrow a purported quote from him to emphasize a seemingly Biafran victory... Why can't we have a healthy conversation
Now you call me a bigot;I, whom you can never see. What if one of my parents is igbo? D'you think it is every igbo who support this delusional war mongering? Why,my good friend,did you type before you think?
The first salvo of trouble was fired when after the Jan. 1966 coup,Celestine Ukwu; a popular igbo musician,released the song "Goats are crying" to mock the hausas whose revered leaders were killed;after which the Igbos in the north started organising "January Victory" parties to celebrate the fall of the northern oligarchy. I refer you to Max Siollun's Nigeria's Coup Culture,1966-1976 book on the war
For your information,it is quite impossible for one to rant with written words... It has to be oral

Look at yourself and look at your glorified cities and then ask yourself this salient question- Is your quality of life better than that of the worst Igboman today?

Your people(who never experienced any modern war) beg for everything from food to clothing as if they are the dregs and vanquished that lost the war. Ask yourself why it's like that?

A chinese friend (who has transversed the lenght and breadth of Nigeria for 5 years) refused believe the Igbos ever lost a war. Rather he thinks the Yoruba beggars and almajiris on the streets were the after-effect of Biafran war. He's wrong but we all know why it's like that.

Hide your shame!

blackprowler:

Who can blame the hapless victims in the time it actually happened when someone a generation later is still just as dumb. Nobody was born with tribe and religion but of course that's too advanced to understand. This is why given the chance, every error of the past can still be repeated since dumb people are unable to learn honest lessons. Who are my people? Pathetic Africans have NO idea (not all fortunately)

dozzybaba:

Listen to me and carefully too. I've been on this forum for years and anytime we 'catch' an anti-Igbo bigot who pretends to be objective,he shouts 'I'm Half-Igbo!' or 'I'm Ijaw/Efik' bla..bla so as to validate his stance. They are not usually intelligent as they usually give themselves away in the long run. So Shove you half-Igbo bullcrap where the sun doesn't shine and wear your bigot badge with pride. That's the most honourable thing to do now.

Garkem was attacked because of the Igbo and you expect Ojukwu to fold his hands because it's not Igboland?.. My God!...
How do you guys live with yourselves with all these falsehold merchandise you guys peddle?.
I can bet my fortune you and your likes will be first to condemn Ikemba if he had made a statement like 'The Federal forces have only attacked garkem not Igboland..we'll wait till they invade Igboland but replying them and invading Lagos'.
You devils would have used that statement as a key to set the Igbos against their natural neighbours and allies in AkwaCross. You would have told them-'You see Igbos don't love you, they waited till Gowon killed you off and entered Igboland through your towns before responding..

...And the Igbos would have been at loggerheads with the lovable people of Akwacross whom they share a lot of customs with till today.
Garkem was under Ojukwu's command and he had every right to protect it by responding and invading lagos. Even Objective yorubas like Duro onabule holds this strong opinion but a 'half-Igbo' hiding under the opaque veil of 'been objective' is trying to sell us something else. Sir i think you stink of chauvanism, again put on that bigot badge and come clean, that's how we do here.

You guys keep mouthing about imaginary celestine Ukwu's song and all. Give us the link to his song and get a point. Here is a link of Sarduana complaining about the Igboman refusing to be an eternal slave to emirate. Many people watched it before it was taken down from Youtube. Isn't that offensive enough to be a first Salvo?. How about 1945 killings of Igbo christians in the North even before independence. Don't i have the right to call it a Second salvo?

Take your emiratized and almajirized pretentious self outta here until you are man enough to come clean about the aetiology of your prejudiced views.

Lastly..You are not qualified to give me lectures about my choice and use of words. You've left substance and have started shooting passing clouds. From experience here, it's exactly what peeps do when they are getting roughed up and losing in an argument.

You've been on this forum for years!!!
Bravo.
Was Garkem ever at war with the FG?
Did the federal soldiers fight the people of Garkem or the Biafran soldiers?
Now who is the devil?
Be it established that a madman's mind isn't more confused than yours
Why is that you don't understand English? And you call yourself a proud igbo man. I hate to say this,but you suffer from a negative integer intelligent IQ. So because I cite a case of probability,of people having parents of different tribe;it should now be an object of vituperative attack... .Did I say my parents are of different tribes... You don't even understand semantics; and you say you are the product of a literally-powerful tribe. You should be ashamed of yourself. Before,you level such allegation on me,please define Bigotry... I am certain you don't know it...
If Nigeria disintegrates today,you think the South-south will follow you. Dummy!!!

Laughable!...I finally inflammed your raw nerves... Vituperation!...Vituperations and Vituperations..
Exactly what i asked for...exactly the what they do when lose arguments..
This is how we expose people by making them lose their shells.
You are obviously a newbie around here, and got me more than your share of spanking from me. I find it recreational to sit on people like you and teach you valuable lessons and i have achieved my aim. So you are no longer a 'Half-Igbo' and South-South hates Igbo and loves Yoruba or what shambolish town you crept out from. Bovine..
You obviously do not know that Dozzybaba is a proud Anioma son precisely from Asaba and from a family of Biafran war veterans. Oh! it's a pain i'm from your 'geographical South-South' that was borne out of the 'divide and rule' tactics designed to water down Igbo Geo-political powers but have strong pro-Igbo views abi.. Game over.
Mr..now who speaks for the SS, you or me?. Whatever hole you crawled out from, you have every right to join your likeminds and their overlords in servitude whenever this country scatters into pieces. Delta Igbos remain Igbos through and through and i speak with all confidence that the border between East and West will start somewhere west of Ore anytime this union draws it's last breath.
Don't ever come in here vomiting bullcrap on stuffs you can't be objective about ..We are not very pacifist with a.rs.eho.les and revisionists around here...
You have two options
1. Write sensibly and avoid a total beat down!
2. Sod off from here and go lick your rotten wound!
We'll always be here to whip your likes in line whenever you deviate from the truth.

Ha, welcome to the club!!! Discerning Nlders have learnt to resist engaging the poster in any objective discourse as experiences have shown in the post, that though he lacks superior arguments to advance his premise, he is however willing and able to befuddle and wear you down with his manifestation of abject level of idiocy.

I know it's very hard to resist (responding to his ilk) but trust me, with time and patience, you will get there in the end.
