Buhari the terrorist amnesty giver is your role model....
Shame on you
HISTORY OF MASSACRE Kano 1945 - Over 200 killed Jos 1953 - over 150 killed 1966 - over 50, 000 killed 1967-70 - over 2,000,0000 killed Jos in 1945, Kano genocide 1953 1966 Massacres (40,000 Igbo Christians) 1967-1970 over 7million Igbos lost their lives fighting for liberation. Kano 1980 - over over 1000 Igbos were killed Maiduguiri 1982 - 1983 over 500 Igbos were killed In 1984-1991 more than 1500 Igbos where killed. THE ENMITY AGAINST NDIGBO IS DEEPLY SEATED IN THE HEART OF HAUSA/FULANIS OF NIGERIA It is imperative to correct false propaganda making rounds in an attempt by every successive government in Nigeria to cover uo this genocid. In 1953, when Independence loomed, Ahmadu Bello, the founder of Gamji said: "We cannot fight to dispense of white masters only to be ruled by new black masters called Ibo. Even here in the North, they run the post offices, railways, civil service and they have taken up all the shops we create. Call them Ibo, but you can also call them Zionists, but we shall not relinquish the estate of our fathers to such wretched people who have never had an administration before." Source: 1968: the year that shook the world, by Walter Schultz. In 1964, Major Gibson Jalo, after downing a bottle or two at the Kachia Barracks mess, moaned: "we are captives to this Ibos. We can never enjoy our new nation until we chase every single Ibo man out the North." Source: The five majors. Same Jalo, Martin Adam murdered Col Tim Onwuatuegwu, many days after the war at Abakaliki. In 1967, Inuwa Wada, addressing Northern leaders in Luggard Hall, Kaduna, cried: "For long, we had cried that these vermins, Ibo, must be removed from our soil. Now we have seen the result of our negligence. A new opportunity of reducing the population is here (the war)." Source: Last days of Biafra, by A. Madiebo. There are more. As a mere local Major, but substantive Captain, your boss, Sani Abacha strode into the Air Force Base Mess in 1966 and shouted at Col Jubrin, Air Force Commander: "It is our duty to teach the Ibos a final lesson and they will never leave their regions any more." Source: Last Flight, by A Okpe. Same Abacha implemented a PTF roguery repair of roads that gave the South East a mere 4 per cent when North West had 89 per cent, North East 92 per cent, North Central 72 per cent, South West 39 per cent and South South 35 per cent. For all the love of that darling boss of our dear Elder, the South East got only 4 per cent. Through the regimes, virtually every airport in the North, including the one-week a flight Sokoto Air Port, are all international airports. When it was proposed to developed the Oguta Gulf as the best possible sea sanctuary for Europe bound vessels, Abacha flatly rejected it and drifted in his insane style to plans to dredge the Niger up to Bussa, which he never did. Do you remember the 'nya nya iska ni' episode in Kano. After the Kano killings and burning of Igbo business outfits, 1991, your Kano princes tried to indoctrinate the almajiris on a pre-stated plea of ignorance of what they were doing. Those words meant, 'they did not know what they were doing'. It was Justice Ugwudike who queried it: 'who are 'they' for the almajiri who was speaking for himself. When pressed by an aggressive lawyer, the fool admitted that it was what he was told to say by the benign princes in the Emir's palace. We can go on and on. Is it not idiotic to hold the opinion that Ndi Igbo would be better in Nigeria as a country? The only experience comparable to Igbo experience in Nigeria is the Jews holocaust. It would be foolish to ask Jews to stay and live in Germany because their lives would be better since Germany has been exorcised of Nazist. We have had our holocaust, we have experienced genocide of immense proportion executed with wicked intent, we have experienced starvation comparable only to the gas chamber

Ojukwu, The Coward Secessionist-

Dimka Odumegwu Ojukwu of Biafra-Biafaa or Bia-Kpara, Ogoni version! With due respect to reasonable Igbos and the public. It isn't proper to rejoice over anyone's death. I'm also not doing so, rather pointing to the man Ojukwu. I hope readers would understand my truth that can be found through history and can't be disproved otherwise.

Ojukwu, who was good in his own right couldn't stand Ken Saro-Wiwa and his truth about Ogoni-saving our people from Biafra and Ojukwu's madness and greed (popularly known as Nigerian-Biafran Civil War, 1967-1970), was the number one coward.



Ojukwu sold Biafra due to his greed for oil and disrespect for Ogonis and other minorities of today's Niger delta. Biafra was mostly harshed due to the presence of Ogoni/Niger delta oil. If it succeeded Ogonis, who were already enslaved by Igbos in Ogoni land will be registered slaves today. Saro-Wiwa saw this and fought against it. Thus his crime at the hands of Ojukwu and other Biafran praise-singers who then sought Saro-Wiwa's head.

Meanwhile, Ojukwu ran away from his people at a critical moment into exile. Millions of innocent Igbos (Ogonis and other minorities also died in numbers at home and Igbo camps) killed while he ran away.

No wonder seasoned Igbos, including late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe refused to support Ojukwu and his Biafran insanity!

Though Ojukwu returned from Ivory Coast under Shehu Shagari or so. He couldn't have the opportunity to fight to revive Biafra again. This was contrary to the saying: he who fight and run away lives to fight another day.

Saro-Wiwa stood by his people to the end. He's a global hero while Ojukwu is the Igbo coward!

As mentioned inter alia, death is an inevitable end, so not proper to rejoice over the death of others. I'm not rejoicing over Ojukwu's death. Ojukwu's death, however, can't come without the truth about him, unlike the lies he told abroad about Saro-Wiwa and Ogonis. I hope readers may understand.



Because Ojukwu was cheap, greedy, yet with one of the best education but knew nothing to do with it, he's bribed by the Federal government of Nigeria (under Sanni Abacha), sponsored abroad to justify the world's environmental and human rights hero's (Saro-Wiwa) unjust hanging.

The coward in Ojukwu couldn't get away with that trash! He's bathed in rotten eggs; a high profile disgrace given in the West, when he went to London justifying Saro-Wiwa's unjust death of Nov. 10, 1995.

Today, Ojukwu is left to the Igbos of his kind and some Nigerians such as Goodluck Jonathan, who love violence and has already said, according to Sahara Reporters' Nov. 26 report, "Ojukwu's place in Nigerian history is assured."

Anyone still unsure that Jonathan and his Nigerian cabal hate Saro-Wiwa and Ogoni? How shameful to see a country love and honor violence and trash nonviolence and intellectual discussions, arguments for rights (as with Saro-Wiwa and Ogonis) and freedoms to the cutters!

That is the Nigeria run by the so-called majority ethnic groups for you. We can see Boko Haram like Ojukwu's Biafra, in action, supported also by Jonathan and his Hausa counterparts. We can see Jonathan sit and look confused, not sure of what to do with Boko (like he paid off Niger delta militants whose agitation was just, if not their greed and unintellectual approach) begging for help from America.

Finally, is Jonathan, one of the Ojukwu-Biafran violent praise-singer confused about the peaceful Ogonis, their just agitation for political, social and economic justice, ruined environment? No! He and the Federal government is hardened, waiting for a period when news may come that all Ogonis are extinct due to environmental degradation and government, $hell's inaction and stupidity. Shame on Nigeria, because Ogoni, which is older than Nigeria will live to shame the Ojukwus and its Nigerian oppressors!

This Zik must have been a God.

One man decided what should enter or not enter the constitution

One man convinced another Region not to seek independence

One man decided we must all be 'one Nigeria'

And he did all this when Nigeria was still under the colonial rule of the British

You will have to explain to me how one man called Zik did all these things when I never knew that Zik was the owner of Nigeria

You will have to go read up on Nigeria's history. I'm not your high school history teacher bro.

On hearing that his son had been posted to Calabar, Ojukwus influential father prevailed on the authorities to cancel the posting. When Ojukwu learnt of what his father had done, he angrily resigned his job and drove all the way to Kaduna where he enlisted into the Nigerian Army as a lowly recruit.

Ojukwu was a Marxist and a card carrying member of the British Communist Party while he was at Oxford.

Ojukwu joined the army as a recruit towards instigating the NCOs for his Marxist revolution take-over.

Ojukwu admired both Fidel Castro and Che Guevara and wanted a communist revolution take-over. He even kept a beard like Fidel.

He will later get sense and see that this was futile and from there turn to a Nationalist.

What I admired about him is that he wasn't dogmatic and the fact that he relinquished his Marxist ideology unlike Nzeagwu and Ifeanjuwa who were staunch useful idiot One Nijeriya communist tools.

I don't think you have really read the history of Nigeria. I'll suggest you do that and learn how Azikiwe sold out his people and the agitators for secession.

It is a statement of fact that the Northerners too were agitating for their own Republic. Go search for the speech Azikiwe made to convince them to stay in Nigeria. These aren't fables.
They are facts. I won't do your research for you.

The constitution was suspended during the military era.

Before the military era, Nigeria could have disintegrated. But for Azikiwe's intervention.

The inclusion of the secession clause was so that every ethnic group then could review its inclusion in the Nigerian project.

By now, each unit that broke away would have celebrated over 30 years independence of their own.

Azikiwe is to blame for that.

When Adaka Boro wanted to secede with his Niger Delta people, guess who crushed his bid?

Ojukwu, another Igbo.

Can you see the pattern?

Yorubas have formed a regional security outfit now.

A prelude to being able to stand on their own.

Guess who the saboteurs are.

Guess who just sold out the South.

Guess who has agreed to community policing instead of forming their own regional security outfit.

Do you see the pattern there?




'When Adaka Boro wanted to secede with his Niger Delta people, guess who crushed his bid?

Why do u people enjoy self deceit. Was Ojukwu ever the president of Nigeria?








'Yorubas have formed a regional security outfit now.'

After they brought in the dullard.

But Zik had no powers to decide if Nigeria stayed as one or if secession clause entered or did not enter the constitution

From where did you get this trash? Pls show us a copy of the Agreement that was signed between Baba Awolowo n Ojukwu. Would such important decision would have been verbal? If you don't have an ideal as how to move this country forward or promote good inter-tribal relationship pls hang up.

Wen Awolowo came out from prison, He discussed the way forward with Ojukwu and they both decided that since the north has renegade on the Aburi accord, The next step should be for yoruba and Igbos to launch oduduwa and biafra.

But Awolowo told Ojukwu that this isn't a decision he can finalize on his own, that he would have to consult the yoruba Congress to take a final decision...Awo did that and the yoruba leadership approved of it. Awolowo den announced to the world that **Once the east goes, The west will go**....This made headlines across the world.

Ojukwu declared biafra and Awo the coward collected minister for finance from his gambari masters and refused to declare oduduwa.

I swear after the coup they started attacking and disgracing igbo people for no reason. Some people don't read bros just fashi.

Attacks, Harassment, rioting and murder of the igbos in the north didnt start in 1966.

Ojukwu was a Marxist and a card carrying member of the British Communist Party while he was at Oxford.

I dont see anything wrong in one being a maxist or communist, he is entitled to his political beliefs

Ojukwu joined the army as a recruit towards instigating the NCOs for his Marxist revolution take-over.


Ojukwu admired both Fidel Castro and Che Guevara and wanted a communist revolution take-over. He even kept a beard like Fidel.

He will later get sense and see that this was futile and from there turn to a Nationalist.


Thats laughable that someone would be joining the Nigerian Army in the 50's because they hope to one day engineer a maxist take over

What I admired about him is that he wasn't dogmatic and the fact that he relinquished his Marxist ideology unlike Nzeagwu and Ifeanjuwa who were staunch useful idiot One Nijeriya communist tools.

Ojuku was a coward.
He mainly hid himself in the bunker and later fled when he thought he heard footsteps outside.. grin

Yorubas and the South south were the only warriors on the Biafran side.
Igbos are renowned cowards.

I'd say Karma came for him.

Adaka Boro declared a country, Ojukwu declared a massacre upon them.

Adaka boro was later killed subtlely by the zoo army.

Keep doing a good job,keep sweating profusely trying to cause rift between the SE and SS,mental

This Zik must have been a God.

One man decided what should enter or not enter the constitution

One man convinced another Region not to seek independence

One man decided we must all be 'one Nigeria'

And he did all this when Nigeria was still under the colonial rule of the British

You will have to explain to me how one man called Zik did all these things when I never knew that Zik was the owner of Nigeria

The same thing applies to what's happening now, you people accused the North for holding Nigeria at random how can a single region hold a whole country at ransom?


The other region have lawmakers if they truly want to secede they should talk to their lawmakers or Boycott elections as simple as that.

Gowon should be tied to a stake and burnt alive, he contributed largely to what Nigeria is today.

What a progressive nation Nigeria was before the devil abolished true federalism Nigeria practised

Thank God he is still alive to witness what Nigeria finally turned out to be even the North he selfishly tried to place higher above others are the worse hit


Since that 1960 something Nigeria has never made any headway, worst of it all enthroned a jihadist, a religious extremist and a blood sucker in the person of buhari

Gowon shall never know peace even in death


Stop distorting history! It was Ironsi.
