It shall not be well with the blogger that formed this headline. That's not exactly what he said. You could say that's what he meant, in other words, but you shouldn't have used it as your headline. This isn't how stories are reported. I'm beginning to despise Nigerian bloggers. Just for traffic, you're making things worse. You're ruining the country further by replacing the words of our bad leaders with provoking words, thereby instigating a vitriolic ruckus in the nation.

Please, if you are a blogger, don't dare come near me.

actually the title is very very misleading that wasnt what he said but what can we do about it . apc started and taught nigerians the art of evil political propaganda , so they are just been paid back in their own coin
CSTR1003:
This man just keep inflaming the passions of a section of these country.

His utterances are poisonous in nature.
He has not yet recovered from the 5% theory and he has dropped another one.
One that is at the core of every igbo man.

And some people will claim igbos hate him without a cause.

He attracts extreme reactions due to his highly controversial nature.

Those that hate him hate him bitterly, and his fans like him irrationally.
A very terrible character .

He is indirectly telling the quarters that care to listen that they wont be lenient if such arise again.

The C-in-C is vibrating and am certain he knows quarters he is sending that message to

In as much as I detest Buhari, a careful reading of his statement above would show that he didn't say those words.

Bloggers will just twist stories to get traffic. Heating up the already heated up polity.

Nigerian bloggers won't make heaven!

Speaking at his investiture as Grand Patron of the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS) at the presidential villa in Abuja, President Buhari insinuated that the Nigerian army showed lots of restraints on Biafrans during the civil war. 

According to President Buhari, Yakubu Gowon, who was the then head of state issued strict instructions to the army that Biafrans were not enemies, but “brothers and sisters of the rest of Nigerians”.

“Earlier in my profession, during the civil war, I know how much sacrifice members of the Nigerian Red Cross and their international counterparts did both in the real front of operations and at the rear, on both sides. I think it is a lot of sacrifices because anything can happen to you in the operational areas.

“The risks they faced were real and I admire their courage and commitment to helping people who were in distress and were virtually in millions. Those photographs of people from the Biafra enclave spoke a lot.

“I remember with nostalgia the performance of the commander-in-chief, General Yakubu Gowon. Every commander was given a copy of the commander-in-chief’s instructions that we were not fighting enemies but that we were fighting our brothers. And thus, people were constrained to show a lot of restraint.

“The international observer teams were allowed to go as far as possible within and outside the front and I think this was generous and very considerate of General Gowon. He is a highly committed Nigerian" he said.

The civil war broke out in 1967 — after eastern Nigeria declared “Republic of Biafra” — and ended in 1970 with claims that millions were killed, mostly from starvation as a result of a blockade by the Nigerian government.

THIS DULLARD IS POSSIBLY UNAWARE OF THE FACT THAT PLANES CARRYING RELIEF SUPPLIES TO BIAFRANS WERE BOMBED BY THIS SAME NIGERIAN ARMY THAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT HERE, LEADING TO THE DEATHS OF SO MANY FOREIGN AID WORKERS , AN INTERNATIONAL CRIME UNDER THE GENEVA CONVENTION.
NIGERIAN ARMY BLOCKADED BIAFRAN TERRITORY SO THAT FOOD AND AID AND VITAL MEDICATION WAS NOT ALLOWED INTO THE ENCLAVE.


STARVATION WAS USED AS A WEAPON OF WAR TO ENSURE COLLOSAL CASUALTIES, MILLIONS PERISHED, MOSTLY WEAK AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN, AS WELL AS THE AGED. WHAT CRIME DID THESE POOR PEOPLE COMMIT TO DESERVE THIS KIND OF HORRIFIC DEATH?

WHAT THEN, IS THE DEFINITION OF GENOCIDE??


THIS CLOWN SHOULD SEARCH HARDER FOR HIS CERTIFICATE.
