FrLukas: Mr man looks like you were there in Biafra during the civil war, ? So Ojukwu starved women and children to use as propaganda to gain worldwide support? You are a cheap liar, creating fake stories, do you know all through the 3 yrs of the Civil war, BBC journalist were there reporting news to favour Nigeria? How come the BBC journalist never reported this fake news you are reporting in 21th century? Nigerian soldiers were destroying farms blocked food supply from reaching Biafra, the British government even called on the citizens of those countries who's citizens were missionaries in Biafra land to leave the country, only few Catholic Rev fathers and Rev sisters refused to leave Whatever you claim to read about Biafra, fake Do you think all the people that were there during the Biafra war are all dead?

discusant: I don't get your point though. Are you saying the cabal will force Nigeria into another civil war? It is quite likely. Note, one of the reasons chief Awolowo of blessed memory refused to drag his people into a war was because the federal seat was in Lagos, part of Yorubaland. Now, it no longer is. Anything can happen. I remembered when Abiola died, the whole west was in an uproar. All non Yorubas fled back to their respective regions for fear of what could happen. I can still see it in my mind. I was a firsthand witness. The only reason there wasn't a war was because Abacha died some months BEFORE Abiola. Whoever planned the sequence of events planned it well. 4 Likes |

I know only a thing about the Igbo n it is their chronic penchant to hate those they perceive to be beta humans than them. If there is a thing to learn from the Igbos, one thing stands out ahead of every other quality and that is their love to hate. Sit n watch n reason then you will figure the only thing unifying every Igbo is their penchant to hate n nothing more.

inyenejo: Wrong. Its not hatred. Don't imbibe the narrative of IPOB, please. The Yorubas are not your enemies, people of Akwa Ibom. Put more pressure on your federal lawmakers. They are the ones with the political clout to get projects to your side. If they don't have the clout, then you should vote in other people who have the clout to get things done. That's how other regions do it bro. Everything is a game of politics and aligning interests. You guys deserve the deep sea port, but have your lawmakers ever presented such concerns on the floor of the house before? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Officialgarri: National progress is impossible until the average Nigerian like you stops seeing politics as a means to enrich himself. That's the crux of the entire interview, because see all the clannish & greedy moves of the current governor Dickson according to the narrative.

FrLukas: Mr man shut your mouth, you read books you read books, written by who? Written by the women and children you claim Ojukwu starved right, ehi nzuzu Show me a picture just one picture of a warehouse where Ojukwu stored food in Biafra and refused to give to women and children? This is what the Nigerian government said about blockage of food and destruction of Biafra farms when they were questioned about it The said "starvation is a legitimate weapon of war and we have every right of using it against the rebels". The federal Nigerian army committed a lot of atrocities including deliberate bombing of civilians, mass slaughter with machine guns, and rape. In asaba the Nigerian Army recaptured asaba and asked their leaders to summon all the people of asaba that they want to speak to them, concerning the need 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. Nigerian Federal troops brought out machine guns, and orders were given,by Maj. Ibrahim Taiwo, to open fire. more than 700 men and boys were killed, some as young as 12 years old. All these atrocities by the Nigerian Army, you never read about it, but you are here making noise with fake stories yen yen yen Ojukwu yen yen yen claiming you read book you read books 5 Likes 1 Share |

Cc: FrLukas 29TH DAY OF MAY 29 May 1966 is undoubtedly the most tragic day in the annals of Igbo history. It was a day that the Igbo were subjected to an overwhelming violence and unremitting brutality by supposedly fellow countrymen and women. Ironically, the atrocity was clinically organised, supervised and implemented by the very state that the Igbo had played such a crucial role to liberate from foreign conquest and occupation. This state, now violently taken over by murderous anti-African sociopolitical forces, had pointedly violated its most sacred tenet of responsibility to its Igbo citizens – provision of security. Instead of providing security to these citizens, the Nigeria state murdered 3.1 million of them. The anthem for the genocide, broadcast uninterruptedly in Hausa on Kaduna radio and television throughout its duration, was unambiguously clear on the principal objective of this crime against humanity: ‘Mu je mu kashe nyamiri Mu kashe maza su da yan maza su Mu chi mata su da yan mata su Mu kwashe kaya su.’ (English translation: ‘Let’s go kill the damned Igbo/Kill off their men and boys/Rape their wives and daughters/Cart off their property’) Yet 29 May 1966 is also the Igbo Day of Affirmation. The Igbo people resolved on this day, the day that marked the beginning of the genocide, to survive the catastrophe. This was the day the Igbo ceased to be Nigerians forever – right there on the grounds of those death camps in the sabon gari residential districts and offices and rail stations and coach stations and airports and churches and schools and markets and hospitals across north Nigeria. They created the state of Biafra in its place and tasked it to provide security to the Igbo and prevent Nigeria, a genocide state, from accomplishing its dreadful mission. The heuristic symbolism defined hitherto by 1 October shattered in the wake of this historic Igbo declaration. For the Igbo, the renouncement of Nigerian citizenship was the permanent Igbo indictment of a state that had risen thunderously to murder its people. The Igbo could not have survived the genocide if they still remained Nigerian. They rightly chose the former course of their fate and not the latter, which they cast adrift. Consequently, Nigeria collapsed as a state with any serious prospects for the future. Despite the four murderous years of siege, the Igbo demonstrated a far greater creative drive towards constructing an advanced civilisation in Biafra than what Nigeria has all but wished it could achieve in the past 40 years. ‘Nigeria gburu ochu; Nigeria mere alu’. Surely, Nigeria couldn’t recover from committing this heinous crime – this crime against humanity, this ‘Malebolge’. 29 May is therefore a beacon of the resilient spirit of human overcoming of the most desperate, unimaginably brutish forces. It is the new Igbo National Holiday. It is a day of meditation and remembrance in every Igbo household anywhere in the world for the 3.1 million murdered, gratitude and thanksgiving for those who survived, and the collective Igbo rededication to achieve the urgent goal of the restoration of Igbo sovereignty. 3 Likes |
