If u were not so blinded by small-minded tribalism, what's the big difference between Yoruba and Igbo? If u meet a Yoruba man in a foreign country you'd be happy u have a brother around. Many Igbos are happily married to Yorubas, etc

The only difference between Igbos and yorubas is bravery and cowardice.

How will there be progrom in the first place with Ironsi as Head of State? How is that even remotely possible? When he is in control of the armed forces? Except he has losses control of his men and office. Are you even aware that the army joined in the killings of unarmed innocent civilians for no just cause? If you are the president, will you allow your kinsmen to be killed senselessly for whatever reasons? You see why your analogy isn't rational and is best discarded

You sound foolish. Why is there Boko Haram while Buhari is predident? I wasn't making an anology. It was a hypothetical question. Ironsi' tribe was not important to the question. If anybody was there that Ojukwu respected and was willing to take command from, there would have been no war. You don't have to be a genius to see that.

It's you dat is sounding foolish, how does Boko haram a terrorist group relate to the issue on ground? So because someone you respected is the Head of state/ president so then you will be willing to trade the lives of your kinsmen? Shows how ignorantly daft you are. Not everybody would be as idiotic as you.

There are, what, 400 tribes in Nigeria. You have no way of knowing mine. Secondly I don't think Yorubas are any more "sophiaticated and intelligent" than Igbos. You have genuses and dummies on both sides. I have to admit Igbos SEEM to have a better instinct for business but I think it is mainly due t their apprenticeship system

I find your name-calling funny. That's what happens when one has no argument. Just as Buhari can't prevent BH, Ironsi can't sit in Lagos and prevent an Hausa man killing his Igbo neighbor in North. The point is that Ojukwu would have worked with him to stem it, just as he could have chosen to work with Gowon, a devout christian

So you concede the point: If Igbos were to start being killed in the north today, there won't be any secession and war because there won't be an Ojukwu to goad Igbos into it. It would be resolved within the system.

The pogroms did no cause the war. The immediate cause of the war was that Ojukwu would not accept Gowon as his commander. The pogroms could have been contained just like today or Igbos could have left without there being a war


Gowon's refusal to honour Aburi agreement was the reason Ojukwu declared Biafra and Gowon declared war on Biafra.

And making his senior the head of state would have just made us all forget the over 30, 000 men, women and children murdered in cold blood in Kano, Katsina and Lagos states?

You can twist history as much as you want, but the Igbo man is not power hungry like the rest of the country. The war was fought for only one reason, the pogroms and Nigerians refusal to keep to the Aburi accord agreement which they signed.
Lies, igbos are hungry for power, just that others are smarter than them. Igbos are greedy and want to dominate others, more reason they hate Yorubas because they do not allow them their wish. Igbo are not hungry for power but killed all other region leaders in order to dominate. Are you OK?

The Ugboani of Okpanam, His Royal Highness, Michael Mbanefo Ogbolu, yesterday warned the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu and his supporters to spare his kingdom of the ongoing campaign for a sovereign state of Biafra.


The monarch, who recalled that the former leader of the agitation, late Chief Emeka Odimegwu- Ojukwu, failed the kingdom when one of the Biafran warlords, late Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu died, wondering why Kanu wanted to visit his kingdom.


Kanu had allegedly sent emissaries to the monarch to notify him of his proposed visit to his kingdom to hold a rally to campaign for Biafra’s actualisation.


But the monarch, who expressed displeasure at the manner the original agitators for Biafra dumped Nzeogwu before and after his death in Okpanam, Oshimili North Local Government Area of the state, urged Kanu and his teeming supporters to steer-clear of his kingdom.


He said: “It was only the former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo that participated actively in the burial ceremony of Nzeogwu. Odimegwu- Ojukwu neither visited him nor did anything to help his family until his death.

So, is it now that magic will be done?” The monarch threw his weight behind the clamour for restructuring the polity, but disassociated himself from any form of violent means in achieving it.

Nzeogwu coup was branded Igbo coup and i ve never seen igbos denying it despite the fact that he is from Delta. I ve also not seen Nzeogwu`s kinsmen coming out to tell Nigerians that the coup was not an Igbo coup rather a Delta coup.
Such display of hypocrisy by the monarch is quite a shame.
When it is for bad they won't tell the world that they are Delta or Ikwerre and not Igbo but when it is for good they quickly deny being Igbo. Shame.
Meanwhile i am not an ipob member and i dont care about Biafra or Nnamdi Kanu. I prefer a United southern Nigeria.

The monarch didn't deny his Igbo heritage, from what I've read.

This is why there needs to be Biafra because too much "Nigger Area" has messed up people's minds, that they reason like Niggers.

Imagine the "monarch", who by the way has no modern hospital in his "kingdom", nor highway system, has not apologized for the ill-fated coup of 1966 that set the East and even Midwest backwards.

See how u just defeated your argument. U just admitted the war could have been avoided despite the pogroms. U just said yourself Ojukwu declared the war because of Aburi. And why was there a need to have Aburi? Why couldn't Gowon, as a military dictator, have ordered his underling, Ojukwu, as to what to do (which is military law). BECAUSE OJUKWU WOULD NOT ACCEPT HIS COMMAND AND LEADERSHIP. And that, my friend, is what's at the root cause of the war.

And name their Igbo counterparts if Igbos are so brave. Who is the Igbo counterpart of Fela who was insulting military to their face WHILE THEY WERE IN POWER. Despite their guns, he sang a popular song calling them zombie. He sang another one insulting people in uniform and another one insulting the military dictator personally and directly.

The old man is paid Salary and receive other benefits from Nigerian government, ie Delta state as a traditional ruler, and you expect him to accept Kanu and kiss good bye to those privileges and pecks he enjoys from Nigeria n government?

How many traditional rulers in the SE had openly declared support for Kanu?
Why do we all pretend like we don't know why it's so.


No sensible Igbo man should use because of an old monarch seeking to protect his source of income to start castigating the good people of Okpanam and Enu ani in general.

Let's try to analyze these issues better in the future.

If Kanu wants to visit Okpanam, let him laise with the commoners there, the last time i was in Okpanam part of Asaba metro, I saw Biafra flags in some of their streets.
He would receive a warm welcome. He should not take away the source of income of the old king by puting him in a tight corner with his pay masters .

Just my own opinion.
