Marcelini:What was dealt with were propaganda.If not,like Awo said,why don't we see pics of starved Biafran soldiers and administrators?Why are all the pics of malnourished civilians and kids? Is it Awo's fault that the people were made to believe their food were poisoned?That the Biafran soldiers hoarded the relief material?That Ojukwu preferred arms to food? He only prevented the soldiers from having access to food supply since they were not sharing it with civilians. -Since you believe the lies,post an excerpt in which Awo or Akintola defamed the Igbos with a credible source. -How could Chinua Achebe have stated the "facts" when he was a Biafran while it lasted? Post the opinion of a neutral person. 1 Like |

Diademk07: Funny. You can keep deceiving yourselves. Everyone knows that the Yoruba Obas in Kwara are subservient to the Emir of Ilorin who is the paramount ruler in Kwara state. Afonja and Yorubas were conquered and decimated by Fulanis in Ilorin who relegated them all to slaves and second class citizens. The Emir of Ilorin is a Fulani, and the Sarakis are Fulanis too. Yes all Emirs in the North are stooges of the Fulani Caliphate in Sokoto. The shame is on you. 2 Likes |

Igboid: LOL! I asked again is it only Fulani that's known to have Emir rulership? Answer the question and stop foaming like an epileptic eediot! The Emir itself came from the Arab Muslim nation! Are the Arabs Fulanis? What a clown! That said, no one pays any subservience to the Emir of Ilorin! The Emir rulership itself was established in Ilorin because there was no form of any rulership prior to their liberation. Afonja was just an appointed general under the province of Oyo! After their Liberation, the Emir rulership was established, being the Muslims they were! This is quite different from how you greedy clowns were promptly dealt with, just like the slaves you were/are in the first place! Note the difference! 1 Like |

SaffronSpice: 5. Even a regional government would require an over all head. The North would want to impose her own handpicked rulers on Yorubas, after all this was what happened between the Northern backed Akintola faction and Awolowo. An Arewa-Odua country would have meant that the North would rule the New country permanently on the basis of population,and any resistance on the part of Oduans to this would have led a brutal military action against Odualand. There was no Niger Delta in the Eastern region. What we had was provinces. 6 Igbo only provinces and 6 Non Igbo provinces with Igbo admixtures. The East refused to be balkanized, because the centripetal forces in the region was greater than the centrifugal forces. The opposite of this was true for the Western region. The minorities political and their traditional rulers were unequivocal in their demand to leave the Western region,the political will was there, this wasn't same in the East. |

"The unprecedented mingling of all groups and settling of many minority people in the Ibo heartland during the course of the war was simply taken for granted. Nonetheless, the Biafran regime was unreservedly committed to plebiscites in any disputed areas within Biafra, or on borders, so that people involved could determine their allegiance. It was proposed that these plebiscites be conducted under international( UN or O.A.U)supervision, and with adequate safeguard against punitive retaliation The federal government rejected the plebiscite proposal, obviously because it implied the recognition of Biafra and the substitution of a democratic vote for force of arms. Had the plebiscite been held, a ceasefire would have had to be declared, neutral observers would have been on scene, and the secession would have been revealed as a people's movement". The New York Review of Books, Volume 14, Number 8. April 23,1970. Yes. Ojukwu was open to UN supervised plebiscite in all Eastern region non Igbo speaking parts, a request Gowon rejected. |

"In an authoritative and detailed memorandum on the background, cause and consequences of the Nigerian civil war issued in November 1968 by more than sixty British subjects, including Sir Robert Stapleton, the last British governor of the Eastern region( 1959-60), it was concluded that of the 37 percent of the population which they estimated that minority group represented in Biafra, only 10% would favour continued association with the federal government". The. New York review of Books, Volume 14,Number 8. April 23, 1970 This was why Gowon and Nigeria rejected the option of plebiscite offered to them by Ojukwu when they accused Ojukwu and Ndiigbo of forcefully annexing the Eastern minorities areas. This is same reason Nigeria is still afraid of referendum today. They know what the result of such referendum will yield. |

Diademk07: Keep living in self delusions. Ilorin is a conquered territory. The Fulani owners of the territory have not held anything back in declaring this very fact. Saraki say it to your face. The Junaids of this world declare it for the whole world. Ilorin is a conquered territory, where Yoruba slaves serve their Fulani masters eternally, a taste of what is to come in the loading future. |

Igboid: LOL! When an dumb eediot has nothing else to say, it resorts to gibberish! Establishing an emir rulership (which is actually a form of Islam rulership) in a recently liberated town that previously had no form of rulership prior to their liberation is quite different from how the greedy ibos were plumelled and destroyed for being the slaves they are, of which they are still crying for their liberty! What a pity! 3 Likes |

T9ksy: Are you saying that only Midwesterners subservient to Yoruba Arewa masters are true representatives of Midwest. Those in alliance with Ndiigbo are false Midwesterners? Zik is responsible and answerable for his actions. No law of the land prohibited him from contesting for elections in the Western region. He simply exercised his franchise. How exactly were Ndiigbo the only ones all out for one Nigeria? Did we force any Nigerian group at gun point and battle front to be part of Nigeria. For whatever reason, Zik believed in one Nigeria, and pushed for it. He didn't force any Nigerian group into Nigerian project, he convinced them all and made them see reason to subscribe to his Nigerian agenda, he even conceded power to the North to woo them into the agenda. If Nigerian groups accepted Zik's one Nigeria agenda, it was Of their own volition and not by force. Bamenda opted for independence, the colonial powers refused and gave them the option of Nigeria or Cameroon, they chose Cameroun. Maybe if Yorubas were not sold on the Nigerian project, they could have tolled Bamenda path and joined their kin and kiths in Benin republic. Nothing would have been the fate of Yorubas. Banjo would have probably rebelled and become Yoruba leader. The East interest in Lagos was never that of conquest, it was that of taking out an enemy( Nigerian FG) military base and cripple their weapon supply from Lagos ports. No where in Igbo history has there been story of us annexing other people's land,there is simply no historical antecedent to the propaganda of the Ndiigbo wanting to annex other people's land, we were never empire builders. We claim Lagos today because we are Nigerians and we know it pains you to have to share Lagos with us. It's our own way of paying you back for your role during the civil war. You can't eat your cake and have it. If you don't want Igbos laying claim to Lagos, you know what to do. You don't see Igbos laying claim to Doula or Yauonde. |

Diademk07: You are the dumb one here. The Emir of Ilorin can only be a Gambari, he can't be a Yoruba. The Fulanis control the Emir system in Northern Nigeria. It's the gift of their ancestor Dan fodio to them. A price you infidels have to pay, for them( Fulani) bringing the light of Islam to you. You are making a fool of yourself here. |

Let me remind you of the pronouncement of one of your Fulani masters, Alhaji Aliyu Gwarzo: "...We also captured Ilorin, killed their local King and installed our Fulani Emir. We took that ancient town away from the barbarian Yoruba and their filthy pagan gods. We liberated all these places and all these people by imposing Islam on them by force. It was either the Koran or the sword, and most of them chose the Koran..." |

A"nd we will retain Abuja as the capital of that truncated Nigeria much to our displeasure. We also have two other cities which could serve as capital of Nigeria. Kano is as good as a capital anywhere in Africa. Kaduna will be good a capital too. Don’t forget, Kaduna was the capital of Northern Nigeria. So going back to Kaduna will be the natural thing for us to do. So what is all the farce? What have we gained from being a part of Nigeria? Tell me! I don’t know what I gained for instance. Look at the revenue allocation formula and tell me how this revenue allocation formula can ever allow peace and stability in any country, not just in Nigeria, which already they say is an artificial creation. And let me tell you that in the event of the breakup of this country, Ilorin and Offa will remain 100 % Northern Nigeria and not one each of land will be ceded to them".~ Junaid Muhammad |

Igboid: LOL! Whatever you chose to believe or masturbates upon, of which most of it were actually from the same elements that opined that Yoruba wants to steal their phantom resources or the same elements that mocked the death of ibos, the most important thing, which is visible to all eyes is Ilorin belongs to Yoruba and the majority speak Yoruba! Do I have to refer you to the clips that showed how Saraki was stoned while everyone chorused "oju ole"? Besides, all this doesn't still compare to the hardship you greedy slaves suffered from your Lord and Masters! |

Diademk07: It's not about what I chose to or not believe. It's about the reality on ground. Ilorin is a Fulani conquered territory. The Fulanis have no problem rubbing this fact in. It's as clear as Crystals and like a bangle on the wrist, needs no mirror to be seen. Deal with your Fulani masters, and bear in mind that as it is in Ilorin, so shall it be in your future where you will live forever with your Fulani lords, that you so much cherish. Now, listen to your Fulani lords one one more time. Let me remind you of the pronouncement of one of your Fulani masters, Alhaji Aliyu Gwarzo: "...We also captured Ilorin, killed their local King and installed our Fulani Emir.

SaffronSpice: starvation gets to children faster than adults. This is no rocket science. They. were unable to fend for themselves, and hence depended on adults who were already starving themselves , the crumbs they were getting were simply not enough. Children are more prone to PEM than adults. The food were actually poisoned by Nigerians: "A report by a team of experts (chemist, microbiologist, pharmacist, micro-chemical analyst, and expert in forensic medicine) led by a United State Senator, Charles Goodell who visited Biafra and examined samples of food, confirmed that food items, especially salt, powdered and evaporated milk smuggled into Biafra by Nigeria, were poisoned with arsenic and cyanide (US congressional Record, 1969, P.4374". http://www.thecrimson.com/article/1969/2/25/who-cares-about-biafra-anyway-pithis/ Biafrans were well capable of providing their own food by buying from Outside and from relief agencies. But with Nigeria's extermination intent unhidden, it would have been plain stupid for Biafrans to accept food touched by Nigerians. We wanted our food coming direct from relief agencies not having contact with people with genocidal demonic intent as championed by Enahoro and Awolowo. |

As a matter of FACT they are, like Major Albert Okonkwo who was later foisted on the people by the ikemba himself against the wishes of Banjo and the locals. Not also forgetting the so called Midwestern ibos like Lt. Cols. Nwawo, Nwanjei, Igboba, Okwechime ati bebelo who colluded with their ibo brethrens to effect the invasion and occupation of the region, a neutral region. Ojukwu's secessionist army suddenly transformed into pseudo Liberation(sic) force, invading and occupying neighboring region/s. This is but your personal opinion which you are entitled to. So I will leave you to it, while acknowledging that they are far from facts. The midwest region was part of Nigeria, war was Nigeria vs Biafra, they were not neutral, elements within the region chose sides. Nigeria which Midwest was part of was the first to invade Biafra, this is a historical fact! |
