KANU and his co travellers, learn from the past . Hausa soldiers are very good in suya preparation, while their Yoruba counterparts love it so much.

Actually the biafran army led by Ojukwu were stupidly naive , this time around biafrans would leave Nigerian soldiers and target Nigerian civilians 100% so when Nigeria starve 2 million biafrans to death 8 million Nigerians comprising of the relatives of the soldiers would be roasted alive in the world largest barbeque.

Anybody that just want to be in the news will mention Biafra!

Jobless mofos ...I don't know how they always think of war when someone calls for separation or restructuring. Must we fight before we separate?

Mighty U.S.S.R never shot one gun before separation...their brain can't just think of any solution apart from war, it was the same mindset that led to the same civil war.

A veteran journalist and professor of journalism, Idowu Sobowale, has revealed how he and other journalists were served human meat as Suya while covering the events of the civil war.

He said this while calling on people singing war songs to have a rethink, adding that war is not something to joke with.


Sobowale, who also served as a political adviser to a former Lagos State Governor, Lateef Jakande, told Punch how the capital of Anambra State, Awka, was levelled to the ground with no single building standing.

He said, “If you hear people singing war songs, they are most probably people who have never experienced war. Even if you escape, seeing the sufferings of others can be terrifying.

“There was a day when we got to the third marine command and the commander, Benjamin Adekunle, asked if we (journalists) liked Suya, he said we should get into the vehicle and he took us to where Biafra armoured cars had been disabled, with soldiers killed inside them. The place was terribly stinking.

“He said that was the Suya, we should eat. There was also a day we were taken to a small stream that separated the federal troops from the Biafra troops and those people had sharp shooters. The war was so fierce that when we were about to leave, out of the battalion that went, fewer than 20 people came back alive.


“Many had died, many had been so terribly wounded and they were just packed in lorries that brought them to Calabar for treatment. On many occasions, we would be eating and we would just hear gunshot and the soldier or someone else beside you would have been killed.

“That happened several times when we were eating. I had several instances of close shave with death. Let me not say more than that.
One crazy soldier was just coming from behind and he just took a cutlass and split the person ’s head into two just like that.

“It was not a pleasant thing to watch or wish for anybody . Look at Awka , the capital of Anambra State, it was levelled to the ground Not a single house was standing; not one.”

My simple comprehension of this story is: Benjamin Adekunle is a savage. No wonder he failed woefully in life. He only knows how to destroy and waste resources.

Those military generals that killed millions of people went ahead and stole billions upon billions of dollars of nigerian money and brought the country down.

They never believed in one nigeria.

Mr journalist so which people are calling for war?

And who are the ones who caused the war through newspaper articles? Who are the ones promotibg it now through articles such as this? JOURNALISTS! They prpmote and condemn war at the same time depending on where they are, and what they receive in brown envelopes.

Go to Awka now, Oshogbo, Ado Ekiti and Akure that didn't see war can stand it in terms of development, private properties and social activities. This is what we call Resilience.
No wonder Enugu was appointed into world Top 100 most resilient cities.

Mr Afonja, calling for referendum is not calling for war. Product of quota system. I spit on your cone head.

When people say they are tired of sharing the same country and ask for a referendum and the first thing that goes on the head of someone that calls himself educated is war shows how truly primitive and backwards Niggeria are. Even western education didn't even help with some ignorance.

To whoever the guy that gave this bullshit, can't you people stay by yourself? Why are you afraid to divide and stay by your God damn selves?

It makes me laugh the people that repeatedly in the past screeched on how igbos benefit from Nigeria than the other way around are the set constantly doing interviews, articles, to try and discourage the ever growing push for referendum by the people they claim " need us more than we need them." First time I've ever seen someone begging those they claim are eating more to stay. First time in my life. There's so much more than meets the eyes and I really cannot wait till that Niggeria divides and whatever is they hiding and afraid of gets exposed. I can't wait!!

Sorry for the mistake, Afonjas are blood thirsty cannibals who contaminated the Aboki mallam race *fixed*



so after fixing your brain with mere words, what did you gain?


see Yoruba won't just aligned with you people coz of your dominiary nature. only you wnt to be president, VP. if they should assigned all govt ministries & agencies to you people, you will still cry of marginalisation


abeg na by force to have the same political ideology? that's hw one mumu was telling me in the other thread that he warned me nt to vote for buhari. who are you people to think you can decide for southwest. do your own, make I do mine


you people problem with southwest lies on politics that your people had brainwashed you with. you don't believe in sacred politics, which is one of the reason why southwest aligned politically wit north till date

Seems everyone is getting mad this days, is a call for referendum a song of war? Do we lack simple English understanding? Where did Nigerians even study? I don't understand why someone with wisdom will wish to continue in a failed structure called a country that will never adjust or change. Referendum is a civil right of an indigenous people. Pls let Igbos go since everyone hates them and their ways of life.
For me I used to support a restructured Nigeria but it's not forthcoming, so Biafra all the way biko.

War is a poison antidote only to be used upon snake bite. All the revolutions were necessary to win freedom but civil wars are most bloody. Too much Ogun and not enough Oshun, people need more Oshun among those who need each other. We need empires to protect us from empires that will colonialize and enslave you and destroy your trade. I have no issue with war if it is necessary but we war against the wrong ones.
