idiot he isn't, but see how they did him. If he was an hause will the yorubas betray him?

Who betrayed who or what on earth are you talking about? Have you forgotten that Providence (the death of Yar'dua) was what made Jonathan ascend the Presidency? Or that the whole country voted for him in 2011? Or that he signed a pact of four years with the political powers that be? And even at that if he had done well, Nigerians would have definitely voted for him again? And to add insult to injury, he surrounded himself with criminal elements and corrupt ministers who looted our coffers with impunity. To worsen it all, the south east and south south stood alone, shouting 'No vacancy' and insulting every and any body who wasn't behind Jonathan, until he wasn't soundly defeated. Don't get it twisted oh; if Buhari messes up, we will sweep him out! No time for non sense or sentiments. Our leaders should sit tight. Any one not performing will be shown the way out by the ballot box. Its no longer business as usual. Any leader who refuses to hear the cries of his people will be KICKED OUT by those same people. The people have spoken

Anybody advocating for war, for whatever reason is a fool. These "little kids" think that modern warfare is a joke Or you think it is a war of cutlass and locally made pistol or AK47? grin. There are biological weapons which will be released into the atmosphere people breathe, killing tens of thousands in less than ten minutes.

Not a Single Shot fired. Thousands of people lying dead on the streets. Unless you don't breathe oxygen. Omo leave that thing oo

Don't tell me what is not please. I have a book back at home written by Ojukwu's general and chief of army staff of the 'republic of Biafra' who was responsible for executing Ojukwu's policies s regarding warfare. There was jubilation everywhere, including in 'Biafra', because Ojukwu ruled by fear. After hearing news that the Nigerian military had since broken lines nd they were very close to Aba, he immediately entered an airplane, having his bags packed, and flew out, saying he was going for one "peace conference". He was smarter than the rest of them at the time, having been schooled and trained in England. So he ran, leaving the rest of the losers to surrender on his behalf. He was just a coward and a war criminal was given a state pardon.

And as for the people you saw dancing, like I said, they celebrated the end of a senseless civil war which they didn't start so stop playing the victim here.

I am not playing victim, I am stating the facts, you claim alot of things, most of them propaganda...
I understand you don't want war but don't try to lie to me! Ojukwu didn't die in the war, that is why Biafra cannot have their country, if the want? there have has much right to have their country, if they choose as any other human being on earth! senseless war? then if the war was meaningless why did Nigeria go on the offensive? I have read the books as well, books by British spies and the Red Cross about the war the help from colonial powers that Nigeria got to win the war... the difficulty of getting food to the children/civilians caught in the war! If you don't want war say you don't want war, quit telling me, the were celebrating the end of the war because they were NOT, there were celebrating the crude oil over the dead bodies of staving dead kids! what bullsh*t!

when you look up into the sky what do you see? God? judging you? or beautiful stars; lights of distant galaxies travelling billions of light years to ago to reach your eye at that very instant? the very atoms that make-up the stars are the same ones in you/me, we may exist as conscious being once but we live forever with the universe!

Please, never talk of suicide, that is a mark of weakness... just live your life to it's fullest quit being afraid of the unknown...

It's obvious you are not a Nigerian, for failing to understand what I said.

"abi" at the end of a sentence gives a meaning only Nigerians comprehend.

Well, the truth is bitter. You cannot accept it because it doesn't appeal to your itchy ears. Sorry but history was well documented. And the irony of it all was that the book was written by an igbo man who was not only there, but was DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the slaughter, a former nigerian army Lt Col whom Ojukwu made a Major General, his third in command, a member of his cabinet and his Chief of Army Staff. Isn't that shameful?? And it contained pictures, plenty of pictures, just like the one you posted. And that isn't my only source. You know next to nothing on this issue.

hahaha! bitter? the propaganda is bitter? dude! the classified file of the RED CROSS was recently declassified, please read it and rid yourself of bullsh*t...

BTW, here is a headline below for you... linked to a webpage of BBC news reporting the ban on RED CROSS by Nigeria from going in to help starving children/civilians.

After celebrating the end of the war, Arewa soldiers cornered oil wells. Even the Yoruba that helped them win back Biafra, Arewa soldiers didn't allow them to own crude oil wells.

Threads like this, increase my hatred for Nigeria, her people, land and all she stands for, and increases my allegiance to Biafra and all she stands for.

It reminds me, why Biafra is a cause worth dying for.

God bless Biafra!

My Opinoin After The Match Of IPOB
The news of the match protest was shown on NTA but the protesters were not shown. Why? Vanguard reported of police shooting one IPOB but NTA never said that. Well it might be the ethics of reporting on the side of television stations. The road to true peace can never be through violence. Biafrans cannot feel at peace against their wish so let them enjoy that peace and of course Nigeria will also be a home of peace I pray. On the other side, you cant condemn a people and still force them under unification, to me it's like slavery in modern way. If biafrans agitate for its own state, let them have it provided they can handle it as a separate but united blessed nation. God bless us all.

Don't be scared, man! I don't wish anyone death, I just feel that war would be kinda fun and I don't care which side wins either... wink

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the people in those pictures celebrating the war, are they not celebrating the dead of this children... How are they morally justified to celebrate the dead of more than one million civilian life... Yet I am the bad guy here!

How many of this little guys survived the war? As far as I am concerned, we are all a little crazy!
the death of this children is regreted...another reason why we should avoid anything called war. Children suffers most from war. Its said in Chinua Achibe's 'there was a country' that the Biafra's army was using these medical and food supply means to import arms into Biafra,hence the blockade. Nigeria should focus more on the future now cos we are not the only nation that have witnessed civil war,why not let the past be and channel more energy into a better democracy and rule of law so the children unborn wont curse us for repeating the same mistake. Some pro-Biafrans keep blaming the blockade,ignoring the fact war is never fought with kindness from either side. With the red cross smuggling weapons into Biafra,the Bfa was advancing westwards towards Ore...do you thing they'd just fold arms to let them? I undastand your sentiment but the Igbos/Biafra should rather focus more on a more political influence as already progress is being made as there are Igbo house of rep members in Lagos...till we have a President. You cant be crying marginalization when you could do something about it rather than bringing up a failed past. Nnamdi Kanu is making manipulating people for his pocket,Igbos need to contintinue to be part of naija.

As soon as military intelligence confirms that the suicidal Ibos are ready for another round of mass massacres by a war they can never win, Nigeria will re-activate it's army, airforce and navy reserves within a week and build troop levels back over 500,000 and begin contingency military trainings to rack that up to 1,000,000 active military men and women. Early on in this process, Nigeria will begin massing troops at several states in Iboland and neighbour states with at least 100,000 in Port Harcourt, 100,000 in Delta State, 100,000 in Edo State and at least a 100,000 in Makurdi. It will build up troop levels to alarming levels in Lagos, Abuja, Ore, Uyo and Calabar. All the smart Ibos who are not ready for the ground to open up and swallow them would be allowed 2 weeks of grace to leave to a demilitarized zone in the east and allowed to feed and live their lives while all Ibos outside Iboland must be compelled to go back to Iboland! Their common sense has not allowed them to stop now before war so, no pity for them. All the useful Ibos that can help fight a war kill millions of Ibos and run away like ojukwu will be arrested and kept in high security prison in Yobe / Borno state, e.g any Ibo soldier with battle experience and if he really wants to die, just give them loaded pistols while in prison so they can pull a trigger on themselves. Massive pincer movement and brutal battle formations and forks will pin the rest of Kanus stoopid Ipob soldier down in Iboland, unable to get out, get weapons or food or run away! Their shall be no surrender for Ibos this time and surely Nnamdi Kanu himself will be holed up in the boko haram epicentre or Sokoto where he will be kept in a dingy cell tied down to a table. Ibos will not only lose this war but will probably lose their entire population by 99.5%. Since they can not have sense, let them continue their madness.

All these because of a people's crave for self determination? Why didn't the Brits employ this strategy against the scots? Plus,how many people died before USSR disintegrated into so many sovereign states? Yet those two powerful countries helped wage a war against the Biafrans.why can't Nigeria and Nigerians like yourself learn from them.

The heart of the black man is indeed very dark.

Fyi,there is no country anywhere whose unity is 'fait accompli' or nonnegotiable.wouldn't be better if Nigeria employed this strategy against Bokoharam who have killed so many soldiers and so many innocent citizens?
