You are just saying it as if he woke up one day without consulting Chiefs in the Eastern region B4 declaring Biafra

Oga plus him, plus his chiefs, plus all his advisers they were only concerned with the now, and as a general he messed up because he was not concerned with the future. Instead of declaring biafra if he had put all of his resources towards pushing for a democracy shey that wouldn't have made more sense. His actions lingered far beyond the civil war years which till date nigeria still suffers. But no he is your hero isn't he?

Really none of that made sense to you?
Please share some of your sense with me. What would you have done? I'm asking in all honesty and humility.

So, where did Chris Anuforo,
Don Okafor and other conspirators imprisoned and later got killed??

But you people are accusing Benue governor, Enugu governor of weakness for not empowering vigilante group to fight off Fulani Herdsmen. Hypocrisy defined

Oga that is a seperate issue don't deviate. I do not support any of the nonsense going on with nigerias security, I do not see the benue or enugu governor as weak if anything they have tried beyond their capabilities. I pray Nigeria will eventually have sense to start practicing true federalism. Let each state defend its borders and provide security and development for its people. If ojukwu had sense he would put his weight towards democracy and then the practice of true federalism. But no oga boss had to remain oga boss...

And you forget their prison was broken into before they were executed. What they did was treasonous and punishable by death. Yet they were in prison for 8 months under heavy guard with no head way to their judgement coming forth.

Oga federal power was against the igbos and yorubas was he the only one? Stop thinking like a child. Why didn't the yorubas secede and declare the states of Ife. ojukwu was an impatient man with no foresight.

Yorubas were not the victims of the Pogrom. And unlike other tribes that can condone such injustice, Southerners are known to always stand up against invasion or injustice. Go and read about us B4 invasion of Brits.I Think you are no longer making points. I must take my leave.

Why Exactly do People blame Ojukwu?? Should we blame it on their failure to read history or should we blame it on the government that failed to teach history?

Do you you expect him to be clapping or crying while his people is being massacred for what they don't know about
The massacre of d igbos had been there before 1966 coup. Since the igbos resisted the massacre in 1966, the minority tribes in the north are the ones been massacre and their lands confiscated.

Yorubas not declaring ife or whatever country was their own selfish reason. Just few days ago ,Tinubu and Afenifere paid PMB a visit.The only thing Tinubu could say is that the yorubas will remain in Nigeria and that they believe in one Nigeria.And I wonder if anyone had asked him or his ppl to leave Nigeria. Or maybe the presidency asked him and his ppl if they wanted to leave Nigeria.

Really, that's the only thing they went to say or that's the only thing you heard they went to say? If you had bothered to pick up any newspaper that reported on the event you would have read where they also asked for state policing and true federalism to start in nigeria, do you really hate Tinubu and the Yorubas that much or you just like playing ignorance?

Sorry what? What happened at pogrom that had not happened before in history? I feel sad and horrified about those events hapoening in Nigeria but you had a chance for a better reaction as a people, instead someone said to you let's throw three years and three million human lives down the drain just to end up back in square one and you all applauded him.

Please where did your standing up lead you? When you were eventually forced to your knees. All I'm saying is the entire situation could have been handled better with less consequences, surely even you must know that.

It's not about abusing ppl that u get fact or learning but probing into issues to get facts. Tinubu was tracked up on NTA NEWS AT 9PM. THIS IS NOT NEWSPAPER REPORTAGE BUT FACTS WHICH IS BASED ON PERSONAL OR GUEST SPEAKING. I hope this will correct u.

You people are NOT serious, what has Yoruba stand on Nigeria got to do with Igbo stand?.
All that Ojukwu needed to do was NUKE the two bridges joining the rest of Nigeria to SE, but no, he will rather come to Yorubaland to save the Yorubas as if Yorubas asked him to save them, bloody expansionist.
Yoruba agenda can NEVER be the same with Igbo agenda, we are not even related, what nonsense.
Your fore fathers rejected the Ideas of a break up when it matter most, because they taught they could end up sitting high up there to suppress the rest of Nigeria, unfortunately the agenda failed.
How can you people insist on taking others down the road to perdition, who ever wants to go down should do so alone.

Every news agency carried the story and it was online. What are you talking about. They went there not only to let Buhari know that the yorubas are committed to the Nigerian agenda but to also ask for true federalism

Follow the link to the story and stop been ignorant.
