obynzo: Can you now see your pitiable miserable life ? It was not an exaggeration after all,when I said earlier that you were sounding like a broken gramophone. Clearly,I must have even underated your stupidity and insanity. Stop fooling yourself like you guys have always done,you're a no match for "Deadlytruth". He has demonstrated that he knows his onions,,clearly. He has been able to put forward superior arguments that are backed up with verifiable facts. You on the other hand, appeared confused and helpless on several occasions having been boxed into a tight corner by that man with his excellent logics. Now talking about Igbo girl and being heartbroken, how old are you kiddo ? To start with,if at all I intend to have a "taste" of any Igbo woman,such has to be within the age bracket of your mother ! Yes,I'm in that class. But then,what do I do with the smelly VG of an old hag of your mother or that of any of your so called Igbo girl ? Do you need to be schooled again that there are lots of beautiful, well mannered and highly cultured girls in all tribes ? Go and checkout the Shuwa-Arab ladies of Borno or the fulani girls of Yola with their breathtaking figures and beauty. There are millions of classy,intelligent and very beautiful Edo,Efik,Ijaw, Hausa,Yoruba,Kanuri,Ibibio, Itshekiri etc all over the country. So tell me,what is special about any Igbo girl that can't be found elsewhere ? You see,I find it laughable each time you Igbos come up with your usual irritating and stupid idiosyncratic belief or impression of being "the best" which in actual sense,is a delusion. This is because your claim is not supported by any reality on ground or rational argument. Believe it or not ,no Igbo woman - dead or alive has what it takes to break my heart kiddo. You're not only frustrated boy,you're obviously sick and unstable. I can only appeal to your Tormentor In Chief,Deadlytruth to take it easy on you. 1 Like |

kingzizzy: There were pogroms even while he was head of state. Not to mention the '53 pogroms were triggered by an Actuon Group member's statements. The North is living in deceit. There have been multiple pogroms thru the decades as well. Till the 2010s. Not to talk about the change of direction towards fellow northerners of non H-Fulani stock. Banditry, village sacking etc. |

obynzo: At the most Critical Point of the War Ojukwu abandoned the very long-suffering People he claimed to be leading. Remember Azikiwe and Col Hilary Njoku had already told Ojukwu he would be humiliated if he fought a War. Col Hilary Njoku was Ojukwu's most experienced field Officer and was jailed for telling Ojukwu the East didn't have the means to win the Civil War so Ojukwu should Negotiate and keep on Negotiating. When Ojukwu saw death and devastating defeat staring him in the Face Ojukwu fled. Col Njoku Ojukwu's most experienced field Officer was released from Jail by the Victorious Federal Troops. 2 Likes |

obynzo: These revisionists know exactly what they’re doing! All this is an attempt to heap all the woes Nigeria is facing today at the door mouth of Ndigbo....never mind the fact we last held power at the centre in 1966! Their revisionist actions are also aimed at trying to checkmate the agitation for secession and to get as many other ethnicities (esp’ in the east/Niger-Delta) to see Igbos as ‘evil’ and out to ‘dominate/conquer’ them! I keep on telling gullible ‘one Nigeria’ Igbos that there’s no way we can continue to share the same country with these sick bastards and expect to be safe and prosper as a people or region! If we don’t experience another gang-up like the kind we experienced in 1966-70, then our children will experience it....it’s a question of when not if! The kind of hate that galvanises them to do what they’re doing is driven by the same spirit that drove their fathers to do what they did in the late 60s! 1 Like |

obynzo: Ojukwu was in full support of Decree 34 because it took power away from the Regions and gave all Power to Ironsi who had Ojukwu's ear.

obynzo: Mr OSU from Aro ! It can only be your inherent delusion of grandeur that's blinded you to the fact that people can see through your concocted lies aimed at defending some lunatic Igbo men whose actions and inactions laid the faulty foundation for Nigeria's woes of today. In a time of universal deceit,telling the truth is a revolutionary act - George Orwell. @Deadlytruth, your courage,tenacity and your resolve to tell it the way it is,is quite commendable. The Germans lost the war and moved on to be better people who learned to shun extremism and madmen. They knew and accepted that they started a needless war that caused misery and devastation to themselves and others because they blindly followed the mad man Adolf Hitler. Germans, because they learned the right lessons from their war loss, turned defeat into victory and great success. Not so for the petty and hateful Igbos. After harming yourselves following crazy Ojukwu, you remain wicked, without remorse, hateful and always committed to following one lunatic or the other be it Kanu, Abacha, FFK, Kemi Olunloyo etal because of your vengeful heart and dedication to getting even with Yorubas ,your imaginary enemies and other Nigerians. Note and very well so,even if all of you in that evil enclave of yours decide to start defending the unpatriotic and wicked actions of your kinsmen here,guilty verdict has already been passed on them. They are the root cause of everything that's wrong with Nigeria today. You will continue to pay the price for this treacherous act of your dead compatriots. Power will shift to the south come 2023 and you can be rest assured that an Igbo man won't be elected our President. You guys can't be trusted. You're just a typical Igbo man who suffers an acute form of inferiority complex disguised by an appearance of superiority hence,the need to always aggrandize and inflate himself in a futile efforts at intimidating others OSU,olori pelebe,bring it on !

Has it changed the third class citizenship status of your people ? Has it earned you the trust and respect of other Nigerians ? Do we now see Igbo people from an entirely different perspective ? Definitely,you've shouted in futility and all your noise here amounts to nothing because we,other Nigerians still regard Igbo people as treacherous and we still hold them for all the woes of the country as being witnessed today. Common sense is far from you if you don't realise that you've only succeeded in creating more enmities for your people with your toxic arguments.

nku5: So a coup which killed the cream de la cream of Northern leaders and left their Igbo counterparts untouched for running a corruption ridden government needed the British propaganda to make Northerners feel disgusted with such a coup? I guess it was also the British propaganda it took for Ojukwu to get disgruntled with the killings of Igbos in the North hence he declared Biafra? And how really developed today are your Greece and Argentina where military thrived till the eighties compared with the US, Germany, UK, Japan etc which remain top on world power ranking? Are you comparing apples and oranges? Your claim that it was after the counter coup that the West and Midwest began to act as they never supported your Igbo coup is the biggest joke of the year. You mean the Midwest people were all happy about the Igbo coupists torture to death of their son Okotie-Eboh, and the West was happy with the brutal and cold blooded murder of their illustrious sons like Shodeinde, Ademulegun, Akintola, etc all before the Counter coup? You must have assumed that Westerners and Midwesterners are like you Igbos who really don't get pained by the gruesome murder of your own people hence you always chose the North for political alliance almost immediately after they finish slaughtering your brothers in large numbers. Only you Igbos are actually that stupid. No other tribe shares that anomalous sadomasochistic DNA with Igbos. If the background circumstances of the First Republic justified the senseless Nzeogwu coup as you laboured in vain to convince the public here, then stop crying over your loss of over 3 million souls which resulted from the chain of events the coup sparked off. And if we are to follow your analogy in your last paragraph above, don't you think those who planned and executed the equally bloody revenge coup did so because they saw the planners and executors of the first coup get away with selective and lopsided killings? 4 Likes |

gidgiddy:It is you that don't know what you are talking about. I don't know how many times one has to repeat this for you to get it into your skull. The resentment about Ironsi has nothing to do with how many subnational units he met and how many he left. It is rather about how autonomous he met them and how autonomous they were when he left. Look if he had created 1 billion provinces and 300,000 groups of provinces and never stripped them of their civil services cum autonomy like the former regions had, no one would be complaining about him today. After all, the minorities in the regions back then were all already agitating for further split of the regions so that they too might enjoy the autonomy in place thus have the opportunity to govern themselves and be free from the domination of the big three. But Ironsi came in and further centralized everything by his Unification Decree and centralization of the public service which effectively killed resource control. By so doing he did the exact opposite of what the general public had been agitating for. That is the issue. Stop being evasive. Contrary to your claim, no government which came after Ironsi did worse than him. In actual fact the worst thing that can happen to a young thriving democracy is the introduction of military rule and the subversion of a constitution drafted by the people themselves. Now tell me which other military ruler was guilty of introducing military rule into a democracy and also subverting a we-the-people constitution. 3 Likes |
