The bold part is very correct.

An example on nairaland is omenka aka Iroh88. No matter the carnage and havoc wrecked on his people in the MB by the rampaging fulanis, he remains loyal to them.

bro i just go through ur epistle i neva knew i was arguing with a duncè. Dont let me bring the bad about ur failed region to the general public to judge weather ur region is a failed region or not. And i repeat again ur region is a failed region and parasite. If when someone try as much as posible to avoid ur silly E-war and d1ck measurement contest u wil try as much as posible to tempt sum1 to say the bitter truth about ur failed region. And on ur pipe dream secession agenda, we wil start taking u serious the moment u chose to limit ur phantom countary to ur landlocked 5 eastern states and ur iboid cousins because as it stand now we believe that ur call for secession is as the result of ur greed to steal the most naturaly endowed region in africa away from other nigerians and to also have direct access to the sea and also try to include the igalas and idomas because of cheap food product we knw u guys are too lazy and over ambitious to start tiding the land and u also have limited fertile land. The moment u limit ur pipe dream coutry to ur 5 eastern state and ur iboid cousins, that is the moment we wil start taking u serious.
Just thank god i am not one of u (E-WARRIORS)

Neutrality while the Western and MidWestern regions are used as a theatre of the war with the Igbos and Hausas having a go at each other while their respective regions read about their own war on the pages of the newspapers?
The dead inhabitants of those regions who courted no war would have been the collateral damage of neutrality?
Or the air raids by Biafra on Lagos before the FG even made any incursions into Biafra, did it kill only Hausa occupants and discerningly spared Yorubas and other Nigerian ethnicities?

To fight the war largely on Western territory was the only tactics Ojukwu had, hence the liberation army he dispatched towards the West as one of his first tactics. Once that was nipped in the bud, the greatest army of the black race was exposed as ill-prepared and ill-equipped to prosecute the war it so much courted.

Cos ojuku died dejected, blind, senile, deaf, crippled and sad does not mean others do same. Awolowo died in his sleep as a fulfilled man of 78 years old. You are not even sure of reaching 30 years cos you sound like a primary school boy.

somegirl1:


I'm a lady, the clue is in my user name .
Ojukwu and Gowon were but young men, they turned the war into a battle of egos. Still being neutral and doing nothing doesn't really require as much effort as taking sides and taking up arms, I'd have thought.

Even in recent times, the Hausas are less vocal than Yorubas are about their role in the war.
I'm just stating one of the major reasons there is bad blood between bith groups.

IGBOPRINCE:
my friend we need to shout marginalisation cos of the lacks/absence of equality,fairness and just. We know our right in this cesspit called nigeria and if the government refused to do the right thing,hence our clamouring calls of a new nation.

You don't expects us to fold our hands and watch your people milk this country dry. Mbanu, it must not happen.

We re not saying we re the saint one here but compete with us rather than hating and envying us.

IGBOPRINCE:
hehehehe. I like it when you re in pained ojukwu lives a fulfilled life. He married one the most beautiful woman on earth. Hehehehe(lady bianca).

But pa awolowo, hehehehe, bros e go pain you if I yan you further ,

One nigeria

ChristStriker:


But he has never spoken against the wickedness of the fulani herdsmen who recently killed about 300 of his kinsmen.

He always chooses to remain silent, why

Demslayers:


Sorry about the bros, never knew you are a lady. I think St Ola have answered you well, the war is between Nigeria and secessionist, the likes of Benjamin Adekunle, Obasanjo, Alani Isiama and co are NA and not Yoruba army. If Azikwe can support Nigeria while Banjo fought on the side of the bia. then you should know better. We should even be mad at the Ibos for killing Banjo after leading there only offensive in that war but we aint screaming betrayal nor making noise. Do you think his kids will ever forgive you guys for killing there father after fighting on your side? Funny.

somegirl1:


Like I asked someone in a previous post. Did these happen before or after the SW made their stance clear?

somegirl1:


Secessionists, you say?
Are you saying that your group would never seek to secede?
The sentiments of Banjo's children would be valid and I empathize with them. Unlike some people, I don't regard non members of my group as mere casualties of war.
Ojukwu not Igbos killed him however. He also killed Igbos suspected of treachery, I wonder whom the children of Ifeajuna would direct their anger at...Igbos?
Anyways, I do not blame Yorubas because they looked out for their own interest however I think they should now be neutral.

realjoker:
why u never shout for equality when the SW and kwara were denied there constitution right to have at least one minister from each state in GEJ government?
Why U never shout for equality when Ken nnamani was igbolizing basically half of the heads of MDAs?
Why u neva shout equality when lagos and ogun get peanut from fed allocation while they generated over 50% of non oil revenue and over 75 VAT?
This ur cry of marginalisation is weird to the enlighten nigerians that refused to be victim of ur emotional blackmail.

StOla:


After Awolowo was released from prison, he had stated clearly that if the East was allowed to secede the West would naturally follow to opt out of the union.

This is as clear as water that the West only wanted a diplomatic dissolution of the federation, not warfare to disintegrate the country.

Ojukwu was advised to the last minute by Awolowo that he would have no support from the Western region if he proceeded with his war posturing. Meanwhile Awolowo continued as a civilian to clamour for the relocation of the majority Northern soldiers from Lagos and the West back to their Northern origin.

The Northern led government continued to foot drag on this request, knowing what the implications are - the natural dissolution of Nigeria.

Ojukwu being an impatient fighter and not a thinker, decided he would go ahead with his secession, while the FG too preempted him by restructuring the political grouping of the country.

Ojukwu then sent a liberation army to occupy the MidWest that had already stated clearly that it would remain neutral in the whole matter of police action by the FG and forceful separation by the East.

That Ojukwu's liberation army could so easily overrun the MidWest where there was barely any federal defence, already suggests that one side respected the neutrality of the MidWest while the other side saw it as a good platform to fight it's war.

From the MidWest that the FG still let to be occupied by the Biafran liberation army, that same army set for Lagos and the West to confront Northern soldiers who were still firmly rooted there.

That was when Awolowo had to take a decision. A decision that ensured his region will not be the casualty and victim of a war it had no interest or preparation for.

Demslayers:


We can seek to secede but not through war. There are many ways to do this without going through the war route, same thing some peeps are telling the ipod group but they wont listen. They should now be neutral how? I dont understand that part.

somegirl1:


So the targets were the northern soldiers based in the SW not the Yorubas but the SW was "coerced" into making the decision to take sides....fair enough

SirShymexx:


And you believe it was a smart idea to take the war to a region that's neutral, thus turning it to a battleground, when Biafrans could've easily headed up North to target millions of Northerners, no?

Smart arse, would you let anyone attacked his/her perceived enemy in ya house, when you're neutral to both parties?

cckris:

The battlefield is now at Ketu. Stop picking pockets at Peckham, come & defend the land of your ancestors.

somegirl1:


If IPOB has started or declared a war, I'm not aware.
I was under the impression that they organized relatively peaceful protests.
Even though Nigeria is not splitting in the near future, that people think it's ok to threaten secessionists with war in the 21st century is disturbing.
Neutral...by not openly taking sides.

Lol.

How can they even defend Igboland when gully erosion has swallowed half of the place and Fulanis are about to take the other half? They can't fight nature and they don't have the balls to fight Fulanis. So their holy-grail is move en-masse to Yorubaland to snarl-up the place.

ChristStriker:


But the enemy was planning executing the war from lagos which was the nations' capital then.

You and I know that in war you do all you can to take the capital city of the enemy.

@ Erosion. They are only good at making noise or issuing rubbish ultimatum. Fulani killed 19 in Enugu but they are here on nairaland chest beating, some were protesting in Imo cos of incessant rape and beheading of farmers while those in Ebonyi are crying to the government for help. Smh
