Whatever you say or quote, it doesn't justify one side and vilify the other. Both sides committed atrocities, killed themselves and did unimaginable things.

I understand the hurt of losing almost 3 million souls. But it shouldn't make you persistently foolish to make empty boasts or cry for war.



You need proper education...Where do you see people crying for war...?

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.


In my opinion, they read anything Buhari in default mode. What a pity.

Bastard Cow!

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.
buhari fear God, asaba massacre is something that people who knows about it won't forget in a hurry

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.

Blasted coward!
U should ve said ur contributions during d war.
Few Biafrans who had notting took u guys all these yrs to conqure after getting more than enough 4rm the Brits' porks, who envy Biafrans fast working brains yet, u re here to speak notting.
The truth is that, u 2 envy biafrans brains and their will 2see success cos, u noticed that u nd ur northen fam is physically and mentally handicaped.
All u do is wait on south-south and south-east's resources where all the northeners had pegged there claims and feed there stomarchs.
Prove the above statements wrong by telling us how u get ur weapons to fight Biafrans, or why u placed northeners as head of management of Biafran resources? Or fact that u planned with dangote to get ibeto's license revoked the cement that is found in Biafran land and u think we re blind.
The only reason why dangote is flourishing is cos, u gave him rights to import everything hence, sucking our blood.
We know all this.
If Biafra comes, dangote will be crushed but i'll be their handing him his only job ' milking my goats
