As much as I despise Buhari as a leader, all I see in this fake "story" is that some Nigerian bloggers are utterly unscrupulous, and are so hungry for ad revenue that they are ready to twist the words of public figures in any manner they think will drive traffic their way, even if that means stirring up ethnic animosity with potentially deadly consequences. The other thing I take from this non-story is that many Nairalanders have problems comprehending even basic English, otherwise they would realize the stark difference in meaning between what the title insinuates and what Buhari actually uttered. Then again, it's hardly news that the majority of Nairalanders are at best barely literate ...

It's perfectly OK to hate Buhari, but there are more than enough legitimate reasons to do so without resorting to transparent lies making him out to be a blatant Igbo-hater. Maybe he is one in private - only his close friends and relatives would know - but not even Buhari would be stupid enough to say something so ridiculously callous in public, and at a Red Cross event of all places.

I still dont agree with his ststement. The nigerian Military wasnt lenient, soft, restrained or how ever anyone wishes to phase it. Theirs currently a starvstion blockade in Yemen and nobody in the world will get to say Saudi Arabia is be restrained or lenient with use of force.

You can possibly argue that Ojukwu might have been at fault for not agreeing to cease fire earlier. Ojukwu rejecting food from Nigerian aid channels for fear they were poisoned.

Went soft on them? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 2.1 million dead is soft ? That’s more than the number of lives lost in 5 years of the Syrian conflict, more than the lives lost in the Iraq war. I suppose the army could have marched in and beheaded the men, raped the women, burnt the land and poisoned the water but that would then VIOLATE THE GENEVA CONVENTION. Not to mention it would be genocide not war. Soft, don’t make me laugh. Soft would have been not starving the Biafrans and killing only when absolutely necessary.

OKOOMOGE:
I sometime wonder what the Igbos will do should Buhari win the 2019 election.

Can Buhari swear that he enjoyed his presidency from 2015 till date?

Where in this stupid article did the President say the Nigerian Army was soft on Biafra?

All this nonsense just to get hits for a stupid blog.

When this war that you are stoking starts,we will all be here.

May God help us all.

What about the people that gave birth to a nonentity like you?

Buhari, the God who made the heaven and the earth will judge you. The blood of the slain by your Fulani foot soldiers will fight you

You and your cursed brothers are always cursing him, but he is growing stronger everyday even at his football age of 74. Can you now see that who God has blessed, no idiot can curse.

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 .

“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.

Let's look beyond the sensational headline and address the facts of the president's speech. Above in bold are his exact words as reported by the blog. So tell me, what exactly is wrong or poisonous in what he said?

The writer of this story is stupid and should borrow sense must he put everything this man says including when he cracked joke on front page, especially those things that are capable setting the country on fire.God will punish all this stupid people.

you will die a horrible death... worthless man

Buhari should tell his aides to assist him to write a book on his own story of the civil war.

Buhari have no reason to govern Nigeria.

You are stupid and foolish for saying this

Are you not ashamed of your Yourbas coward tribe? Ass lickers Fools that are slaves to the foolanis for 200 years

the igbos are the only tribe that went to war with the foolanis

If you think your foolish and stupid tribe is better..go to war with your master

Idiot

The incident at Asaba proves you a liar! Devil punish you there foolish buhari

The Federal troops entered Asaba around October 5, and began ransacking houses and killing civilians, claiming they were Biafran sympathisers. Reports suggest that several hundred may have been killed individually and in groups at various locations in the town. Leaders summoned the townspeople to assemble on the morning of October 7, hoping to end the violence through a show of support for "One Nigeria." Hundreds of men, women, and children, many wearing the ceremonial akwa ocha (white) attire paraded along the main street, singing, dancing, and chanting "One Nigeria." At a junction, men and teenage boys were separated from women and young children, and gathered in an open square at Ogbe-Osowa village. Federal troops revealed machine guns, and orders were given, reportedly by Second-in-Command, Maj. Ibrahim Taiwo, to open fire. It is estimated that more than 700 men and boys were killed, some as young as 12 years old, in addition to many more killed in the preceding days.

The bodies of some victims were retrieved by family members and buried at home. But most were buried in mass graves, without appropriate ceremony. Many extended families lost dozens of men and boys. Federal troops occupied Asaba for many months, during which time most of the town was destroyed, many women and girls were raped or forcibly "married," and large numbers of citizens fled, often not returning until the war ended in 1970. The total death toll during early October was in excess of 1,000, although the exact numbers will likely never be known.

history teacher where were that time , how did you survive

God bless you.
99% of people commenting on this thread never read the body of the story.
So shameful.

You can't blame them though. Most of them are educated illiterates.

Put a picture of Tonto Dike beside the write-up, then there's a chance they might read it.

very stupid and useless

Nigeria president Buhari's the most corrupt Fulani terrorist padron.

Why is this good for nothing, hypocrite, corrupt herdsmen padron not talking about all the corruptions going on under his watch in oil industry

President Buhari and APC leaders had last week signed a contract to a company that is still in debts of 500 million dollars, another 20 years contract agreement.

There in electricity supply in Nigeria for Nigerians yet major oil companies are flaring gas, killing host communities and environments on daily basis. Yet president Buhari and his terrorists cabals are busy talking shiits outa mouths.


Sigh***** Nigerians you people mumu never do in voting Fulani's herdsmen terrorists to role you.

President Buhari is exchanging Nigerians generations into debts.

Look at stake illiterate that requires 2 points to get admission, admonishing those that MUST score 312 points to enter the same school...

Wonders!!

PMB is a compound fool.Are you planning to go to war again? Time around Nigeria can't win the war against Biafra. Yorubas will not be part of it. Hausa /Fulani you are on your own.

Roger3D:

Is that what your parents told you?

Evil journalists.

They created a sensational and controversial headline from a harmless statement and people have begun throwing tantrums
