I choose my words and i try not be carried away by emotions!

I ignored you post because rather being objective, you chose to romance your sentiments!
You feel it is about me and my person and that is why you could the category I belong to.

I will answer you!

The slave traders came, took my rights and my lands.
They forcefully changed my nationality and called me Nigerian.

that is the level 2 of slavery!

Problem is this, many are in the same fate with me, but they are blind to the truth!

I have a choice to make and I have made it.
I am not Nigerian because Nigeria means nothing but slavery!

That does not mean you cant be Nigeria, it is not actually my business.
Oh please come off it. All that talk about slave camp and slavery is emotions talking and not commonsense. Stop talking out of turn bro, it helps none of your course.

Have a nice day.

You are the one trying to sell you emotions here.
I took time to state my reasons and you have not even countered them, let alone stating your own points.
You were only hoping to get me cornered so as to make a mince meat out of me.

One thing I know is this, both of us have equal rights to have different opinions and we also have the same rights to express them!

Warm greetings from my heart!

In the light of soyinka's press statement denying making those unsavory statements, I hereby apologize to Prof Wole Soyinka for the Vituperation on his person. U still have my respect, especially when I remember ur biafra ordeal. Do forgive n move on, the cable news and all paid media agents trying hard to cause disaffection will receive their rewards in due time.

For those yoloba unrepentant tribalistic scums that cheered on, I have no apology. If u insult my tribe I will give u triple doze.

Peace

Thanks bro!
Keep the light burning

So what do we do?

Actually, we cant help ourselves. It is that obvious!
Yet I know that even Benue were to be in a different country, some herdsmen from another country cannot just cross border, raise down communities and get away with it.

As for Igbos and where ever they chose to live, every man has a choice.

Yet, I want to note that citizens of different countries live in other countries.
Whenever we get our Independence and you wish to eject Biafrans from your nation, you wont be the first to do such!
South Africa is currently killing foreigners.
I am concerned about that, sir, but I am actually more concerned that Nigerians are being killed in their homes by fellow Nigerians.

Unfortunately, the problem is bigger than you and I.
Unsolvable!
Problem for the 'gods' to handle ONLY!
Don't bother, or life will pass you by! wink

I understand but save your energy. It's futile and frustrating because pigs can't resist the call of mud and slime.

The only life line of evil is because good men do nothing!

In any single way I can, I will do all I can!

Wole was seeking cheap fame hence his venture into Biafra during the war.
As for your apology,COUNT ME OUT!

^^^The jaundiced musings of an irredeemable bigot?
I will put good money on it.

Back then Nigeria teetered on the brink of civil war.

The people of the east, referring to themselves as Biafrans, felt that they had suffered discrimination and persecution at the hands of the Nigerian Federation and their leader Odumegwu Ojukwu declared his intention to create an independent state.

Violent conflict seemed inevitable, and a group of Nigerian intellectuals then resident in London argued that someone should travel to Biafra to speak to Ojukwu and attempt to head off hostilities.

It fell to Wole Soyinka to undertake that dangerous mission to a jittery and volatile region.


He met with Ojukwu and later returned to Lagos.

Suspicious of his motives, the federal government imprisoned Soyinka on suspicion of his involvement in the sale of military aircraft to the east.
