onyeopobo:


Well atleast I've given you a reason to stop using his name, most people writing do not know much about this man, and ofcourse the biggest noise makers get noticed first, him being one ofcourse.

One of the strongest strongholds of IPOB is in Oyigbo in Rivers State, because they never get raided by police compared to the SE states,not sure why maybe Gov. wike is a closet ipobian, who knows, but point is, if you really needed proof to know whether not people of the ND were part believers in the Biafran story you would google it. There are tens of thousands of articles and videos of people from the SS clamouring passionately for it. Kings, elders statesmen, it's all there for you to see. Although I know you guys love mentioning him now that he made a u turn, so I understand the touche effect that you guys are doing and it would be okay if not for the fact that the man is a mass murderer who's being made relevant by this forum.

Again, the SS is a new political Union and we are all working together for the progress of the region politicatically and for the good of the south, for the good of nigeria. But the SS or ND is not a tribe. When issues get tribal the tone is different, if igbo people in the SE are screaming about an issue which is tribal it's best to believe that the igbo, igboid,and their cousin tribes in the SS are also echoing thesame sentiments perhaps not as loud. It would be mistaken to believe or think that igbo people in the SS are clapping for the people who are insulting or trying the shred the SE, when we know you people can't really tell us apart. Don't point to what a politician said or a communal clash as prove of disagreement because they also have this between communities in SE.

The fact remains that if the SE was actually going to leave Nigeria, then the Igbo/igboid and closely related tribes in the SS are leaving with them because whatever remains of Nigeria becomes impractically impossible for our people to live or survive with when our next of kins and those we are closely related with are out the window. This is not a hate speech, it's common sense, common reasoning. It's important some of us in the ND speak up so we don't wake up one day and we are being told that we are now this or that by people from the west because of our silence, with quotes of peoples comments on nairaland as the word of God.

This thread is about the Middle Belt having an awakening, I will not reply any further so that I dont derail the thread. Cheers!

That's igbos for you, only what they are eating in their mouth at the moment counts. Igbos go where the winds blow, if Buhari gives them something now, you will see how they will do 180 immediately, they are people without principles.

sapoyoro:

love reading your posts because its usually devoid of insults.
now my question is what should the igbos or ojukwu have done in 1967 in the face of continuous masacre by the northerners?

Kabir2Mohammad:


whenever they talk about middle belt they are referring to Xtians living there not the entire populace which if u subtract Benue the remaining two states Plateau and Taraba share almost equal population while the remaining are dominantly Muslims

ElsonMorali:


I only reply with facts no matter how unpleasant they may sound. Biafra soldiers never kept any federal prisoner of war. They executed any and all federal soldiers caught. During war terrible things happen. Biafra soldiers dealt mercilessly with their southern neighbours on the mere rumour that they were aiding the federal troops. Besides how can civilians ambush armed soldiers? Does that even make sense to you? You see soldiers carrying weapons during a war, what's your first instinct? To ambush them as an unarmed civilian or to go into hiding? Who is lying now?

As per the 20pounds policy, I have answered this somewhere earlier. Go and ask old people who lived when Nigeria was still spending pounds. 20 pounds was a huge amount and if you had proof that you hadmoney in a npbank account you were given 20 pounds. Most civil servants didn't earn 20 pounds in a year.

Only facts here.

For a better appreciation of the Nigerian civil war, go and read "The Tragedy of Victory" by a direct participant, Colonel Isama. His book documented most of what happened during the war with hundreds of pictures to boot.

""Biafra soldiers never kept any federal prisoner of war.""

Is this is facts? What nonsense are u blabbing about? Did Nigerian soldiers murder n main hundreds of thousands of IGBO soldiers n civilians? Answer that to ur self.



""Biafra soldiers dealt mercilessly with their southern neighbours on the mere rumour that they were aiding the federal troops.""

Biafra vice president was an efik man, efiks who ambushed n killed biafra soldiers were killed.


The biafran soldiers were made up of every tribe in eastern Nigeria, so do the math.





""Most civil servants didn't earn 20 pounds in a year.""



Are u normal @ all?

For starters why should the Awolowo led government give people 20 pounds n confiscated every other money they had in their bank accounts?

Why didn't Nigeria give back IGBOS their monies? If u can't answer that, then stop replying because u are quite empty

Deadlytruth:


And it is that attitude of theirs that made us Southerners political slaves of the North till tomorrow. Imagine how Azikiwe chose to sell the South out in the first republic just because of his greed and lust after a vainglorious pursuit.

Quorax:
TAKE THAT BACK.. who told you igbos are not proud of their land? Among Southerners, who travels home to their respective villages like the Igbos and this has not changed much for several decades, year in year out.

If I ask you the last time you visited your village now, you may not even remember the year. I mean your village, as in where your father or family is from, not just state...

Yoruba are already at home and their "village " you can't be at home and still be going home. Even you are probably in my "village" as we speak It's you igbos who can't ive in your region but.run around. No where in the world do people have more people outside their land than they have back at home, except igbos and fulani.. You can see that you have so much in common.

uckennety:



Please read what you wrote here



The few igbos who had money in the bank withdrew all their money and still looted Nigerian banks before leaving for Igboland and then waited a whole year to declare war,


I wonder how possible they will loot Nigerian banks as they were running for their lives when they were been hunting in killed by every entity in Nigerian

I fully agree, that's why awolowo principle started with rat poison and today sniper is on lead with his people.

Quorax:
Are yorubas not in UK and US? Answer that first...

wowcatty:
Igbos looted Nigerian banks to prosecute the war, fact! This is the only reason Awolowo changed the bank notes to make the money useless for you.

Igbos weren't running for their lives, they were running away from the backlash of their actions against other people. People running for their lives don't then turn around to commit genocide on innocent people who did nothing to them, the way igbos tried to wipe out the former Midwest people.

wowcatty:
Yoruba are as immigrants, obeying the law of the land and don't call America "no man's land" and respect our host.s. You igbos need to take a cue from that.

uckennety:



Honestly your making no point

Is the mid-west region not indigenous to the igbos

ElsonMorali:


I am tired of debating mere rumors gleaned from the propaganda machinery of Biafra. When you have read widely on the Nigerian civil war come back and debate this. I won't continue to debate mama Nkechi pepper soup joint rumours with you.

"Why would Awolowo-led government..." Now I know you don't even know anything. Awolowo was simply the Finance Minister, he did not lead any government during the time of the war.

Asking why the federal government would take any advantage they saw fit to put an end to the war and defeat their enemies is the height of insanity. Maybe you thought it was Aba women's riot.

Tired of trying to school you. You can write a petition to the Federal government and demand for the full payment of the money in your parents' abi na grandparents' account during the war. Good luck with that.

#MiddleBeltIsNotNorth.

Who knows if this is the beginning of the deliverance we've been waiting on for years?!

While the term ‘Middle-belt’ has been in existence and use since ‘1950’s’ pre-independence Nigeria(Remember the defunct United Middle Belt Congress ‘UMBC’ headed by Joseph Tarka?), the term ‘North Central’ (states) as a region came into existence in the 1990’s, under the late Gen. Sani Abacha’s regime.

Hence, you begin to wonder: why wasn’t the region accurately named ‘Middle-belt’ region when the six geopolitical zones were created?

Was it omitted to actualize a “One big Northern” agenda? Notwithstanding that a typical middle-belter (from the North central states) has nothing in common with a typical man from North East/West.

Contemporary, the Middle Belt Forum (MBF) operates as a successor to the UMBC and in many occasions has refused to identify as ‘Northerners’.
