[quote author=Arrewa post=102905781]

In the end, the Igbo genocide was enforced, devastatingly, by Nigeria’s simultaneously pursued land, aerial and naval blockade and bombardment of Igboland, Africa’s highest population density region outside the Nile Delta. Earlier on in 1945 and 1953, under the very watch of British occupation, the Hausa-Fulani political leadership had carried out two premeditated pogroms on Igbo immigrant populations in Jos and Kano in opposition to the Igbo vanguard role in the struggle for the restoration of Nigerian independence from British conquest. Hundreds of Igbo were murdered on each occasion and tens of thousands of pounds sterling worth of their property looted or destroyed. Neither in Kano nor Jos did the occupation regime apprehend or prosecute anyone for these massacres and destruction. Tragically, these pogroms turned out as ‘dress rehearsals’ for the 1966-1970 genocide.

The perpetrators, who subsequently seized and pillaged the rich Nigeria economy, appear to have got off free from any forms of sanctions from Africa (and the world) for what are, unquestionably, crimes against humanity. The consequences for Africa have been catastrophic. Several regimes elsewhere in Africa are ‘convinced’ of the conclusions that they have drawn from this crime by their Nigerian counterpart: ‘We can murder targeted constituent people(s) at will within the state we control … Haul off their prized property and livelihood … Comprehensively destroy their cities, towns, villages, communities – precisely their age long, priceless, inheritance ... There will be no sanctions from Africa – and the world’. As a result, the Igbo genocide becomes the clearing site for the haunting killing fields that would snake across the African geographical landscape in the subsequent 40 years, with the murders of additional 12 million Africans, since January 1970, by regimes in further genocide in Rwanda, Darfur and Zaïre/Democratic Republic of Congo and other killings in Liberia, Ethiopia, Congo Republic, Somalia, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire, Chad, South Sudan and Burundi. [2]

YAKI, IT ISN’T

The records of those who carried out the Igbo genocide make no pretences, offer no excuses, whatsoever, about the goal of their dreadful mission – such was the maniacal insouciance and rabid Igbophobia that propelled the project. The principal language used in the prosecution of the genocide was Hausa. The words of the ghoulish anthem of the genocide, published and broadcast on Kaduna radio and television throughout the duration of the crime, are in Hausa:

‘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).

The Hausa word for war is ‘yaki’. Whilst Hausa speakers would employ this word to refer to the involvement/combat services of their grandfathers, fathers, uncles, sons, brothers, other relatives/friends in ‘Boma’ (reference to World War II Burma [contemporary Myanmar"> military campaigns/others in southeast Asia, fighting for the British against the Japanese) or even in the post-1960s Africa-based ‘peace-keeping’ military engagements in west, east and central Africa, they rarely use ‘yaki’ to describe the May 1966-January 1970 mass murders of Igbo people. In Hausaspeak, the latter is either referred to as ‘lokochi mu kashe nyamiri’ (English: ‘when we murdered the damned Igbo’) or ‘lokochi muna kashe nyamiri’ (English: ‘when we were murdering the damned Igbo’). Pointedly, this ‘lokochi’ (when, time) conflates the timeframes that encapsulate the two phases of the genocide (May 1966-October 1966 and July 1967-January 1970), a reminder, if one is required, for those who bizarrely, if not mischievously, wish to break this organic link.

Elsewhere, genocidist documentation on this crime is equally malevolent and brazenly vulgar. A study of the genocide-time/‘post’-genocide era interviews, comments, broadcasts and writings on the campaign by key genocidist commanders, commandants and ‘theorists’ and propagandists including, particularly, Yakubu Danjuma, Ibrahim Haruna, Yakubu Gowon, Benjamin Adekunle, Olusegun Obasanjo, Oluwole Rotimi, Obafemi Awolowo, Allison Ayida and Anthony Enaharo is at once revealing and profoundly troubling. Adekunle, a notoriously gruesome commander, had no qualms; indeed, in boasting about the goal of this horrendous mission he told an August 1968 press conference, attended by journalists including those from the international media: ‘We shoot at everything that moves, and when our forces march into the centre of I[g">bo territory, we shoot at everything, even at things that do not move’.[3] True to type, Adekunle duly carried through his threat with clinical precision both on his ‘everything that moves’-targeting, especially in south Igboland where his forces slaughtered hundreds of thousands, and on the ‘things that do not move’-assault category. Adekunle’s gratuitous destruction of the famed Igbo economic infrastructure, one of the most advanced in Africa of the era, was indescribably barbaric.

A brief review of Olusegun Obasanjo’s own contribution (published in his memoirs, My Command) that focuses on his May 1969 direct orders to his air force to destroy an international Red Cross aircraft carrying relief supplies to the encircled and blockaded Igbo is crucially appropriate. Obasanjo had ‘challenged’, [4] to quote his words, Captain Gbadomosi King (genocidist air force pilot), who he had known since 1966, to ‘produce results’ in stopping further international relief flight deliveries to the Igbo. [5] Within a week of his infamous challenge, 5 June 1969, Obasanjo recalls nostalgically, Gbadomosi King ‘redeemed his promise’. [6] Gbadomosi King had shot down a clearly marked, incoming relief-bearing International Committee of the Red Cross DC-7 plane near Eket, south Biafra, with the loss of its three-person crew. Obasanjo’s perverse satisfaction over the aftermath of this horrendous crime is fiendish, chillingly revolting. He writes: ‘The effect of [this"> singular achievement of the Air Force especially on 3 Marine Commando Division [the notorious unit Obasanjo, who later became Nigeria’s head of regime for 11 years, commanded"> was profound. It raised morale of all service personnel, especially of the Air Force detachment concerned and the troops they supported in [my"> 3 Marine Commando Division’. [7] Yet despite the huffing and puffing, the raving commanding brute is essentially a coward who lacks the courage to face up to a world totally outraged by his gruesome crime. Instead, Obasanjo, the quintessential Caliban, cringes into a stupor and beacons to his Prospero, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson (as he, Obansanjo, indeed unashamedly acknowledges in his My Command), [8] to ‘sort out’ the raging international outcry generated by the destruction of the ICRC plane...

WHAT ‘INTERNAL AFFAIR’? WHOSE ‘INTERNAL AFFAIR’?

There was an extensive coverage of the Igbo genocide in the international media throughout its duration. The United Nations though never condemned this atrocity unequivocally. U Thant, its secretary-general, consistently maintained that it was a ‘Nigerian internal affair’. The United Nations could have stopped this genocide; the United Nations should have stopped this genocide instead of protecting the interests of the Nigeria state, the very perpetrator of the crime. In the wake of the Jewish genocide of the 1930s-1940s during which 6 million Jews were murdered by Nazi Germany, Africa was, with hindsight, most cruelly unlucky to have been the ‘testing ground’ for the presumed global community’s resolve to fight genocide subsequently, particularly after the 1948 historic United Nations declaration on this crime against humanity. [9] Only a few would have failed to note that U Thant’s reference to ‘internal’ was staggeringly disingenuous as genocide, as was demonstrated devastatingly 20-30 years earlier on in Europe, would of course occur within some territoriality (‘internal’) where the perpetrator exercises a permanent or limited/partial/temporary sociopolitical control (cf. Nazi Germany and its programme to destroy its Jewish population within Germany itself; Nazi Germany and its programme to destroy Jewish populations within those countries in Europe under its occupation from 1939 and 1945). Between 1966 and 2006, the world would witness genocide carried out against the Igbo, the Tutsi/some Hutu, and Darfuri in ‘internal’ spaces that go by the names Nigeria, Rwanda, and the Sudan respectively. The contours of the territory where genocide is executed do not therefore make the perpetrators less culpable nor the crime permissible as the United Nations’s crucial 1948 genocide declaration states unambiguously.

The very central role played by Britain in support of the Igbo genocide no doubt reinforced the scandalous failure of the United Nations to protect Igbo people during this catastrophe. Britain, a fully-fledged member of the United Nations – indeed a founding member of the organisation who enjoys a permanent seat on its security council and participated in drafting the anti-genocide declaration – supported the Igbo genocide militarily, politically and diplomatically. It is extraordinary that in his otherwise informative study, ‘Crimes Against Humanity: The Struggle for Global Justice’ (London: Penguin Books, 2006), Geoffrey Robertson, a British human rights lawyer, a queen’s counsel, does not discuss the Igbo genocide anywhere in his 759-page text nor Britain’s instrumental role in perpetrating this foundational genocide of post-(European)conquest Africa.

Britain was deeply riled by the Igbo lead role in terminating its occupation of Nigeria and had since sought to ‘punish’ them for this. A senior British foreign office official was adamant that his government’s position on international relief supply effort to the encircled and bombarded Igbo was to ‘show conspicuous zeal in relief while in fact letting the little buggers starve out’. [10] Indeed as the slaughtering of the Igbo progressively worsened, Prime Minister Wilson was unashamedly unfazed when he informed Clyde Ferguson (United States State Department special coordinator for relief to Biafra) that he, Harold Wilson, ‘would accept a half million dead Biafrans if that was what it took’ [11] Nigeria to destroy the Igbo resistance to the genocide. Such was the grotesquely expressed diminution of African life made by a supposedly leading politician of the world of the 1960s – barely 20 years after the deplorable perpetration of the Jewish genocide. As the final tally of its murder of the Igbo demonstrates, Nigeria probably had the perverted satisfaction of having performed far in excess of Wilson’s grim target… Predictably, it was to Wilson that the Nigerians turned to, in 1969, to ‘sort out’ the international revulsion generated by the latter’s destruction of the ICRC aircraft as we have already stated.

The igbos started tribalism in Nigeria by killing sardauna of sokoto, Ahmdu Bello, Abubakar Tafawa Belewa and other northern leaders!!

the Igbos had good relations with the North & as such the Igbos had more appointments in government from Southern Nigeria.

The same Igbos launched a coup d’état that not only removed Tafa Balewa but killed him as well. The Igbos never complained of marginalization under Tafa Balewa.

Their son (Nnamdi Azikiwe) refused the right to include the secession clause that Awolowo had proposed. In his words ‘WE ARE ONE NIGERIA’. Ahmadu Bello even proposed to include Awo’s secession but Nnamdi Azikiwe refused.

Nnamdi Azikiwe knew that about Major General Aguyi Ironsi’s coup beforehand and ran away. The same Major General Aguyi Ironsi scraped the Regional system that Nigeria had practiced & replaced it with a Unitary system.

All efforts to make him return it back to the regional system fell on deaf ears.
Before the declaration of Biafra, Major Adaka Boro had declared the Niger Delta Republic (so you see the word Niger Delta is not a Fulani or Obasanjo construct) & fought the federal forces in a 12 day war.

Guess who gave the order to capture Adaka Boro & who was tasked with capturing him? Major General Aguyi Ironsi gave the order for the capture of Major General Aguyi Ironsi & Colonel Ojukwu was sent to capture Adaka Boro. Ojukwu paraded Adaka Boro naked in the streets of Yenagoa but the same useless Okukwu included Niger Delta in his Biafran map without even consulting with Adaka Boro or any of our people. The same Ojukwu invaded Edo & Delta despite both states not being part of the of Biafra!!

Igbos are worse than anything they criticize!!

Why is it only Igbos who must view their success as an exponent of dominance over others?

That is Igbos for you. They want the right to offend others while refusing to accept the consequences of their offensive ways.

This is why they are currently political outcasts with no major Party willing to support their ambition to lead Nigeria.

Just of recent... They're asking other region to protect igbos...

But they enjoy attacking and killing northners on daily basis!!

If you look at it critically....... tribalism isn't necessary a bad thing. Buhari is simply looking out for the interests of his people. A Yoruba man with tribal marks will be in an office forming technocrat and professionalism while a hausa/fulani man will help all his cousins in getting jobs at the office, even abroad you'd hardly see a northerner hustling the way southerners do because one of his kinsmen would have already helped him, same thing with the Jews and most ethic groups running the world. If Yoruba's pull all our resources together and act as a group we'd control west africa in less than 50years and this is for a fact because the last time it happened we built an empire and the Brits know this thus we're heavily sold the stupid one Nigeria nationalism and guilt tripped into believing that tribalism is bad. The greatest fear of every non Yoruba is Yoruba nationalism.

If you really try to study the basis of the philosophy of the Yoruba people which is enshrined in the IFA Corpus as delivered by Orunmila, you will have a better idea of our mis-steps and weaknesses. In fact it goes dowm to our victimization during the slavery period and what we see in the present day where we elevate what is not ours above what belong to us. Orunmila ordered that Yorubas must accept and treat foreigners well, which in a way extended to how we relate with other groups. It has its good side and bad side. Within the same IFA corpus are Do's and Don't that the Yoruba must pursue so as not be enslaved by others. Unfortunately we have failed on these. Hope it wouldn't happen this time.

Do u actually realise that this topic is about an interview granted by a Yoruba man narrating his personal encounter with Gen Buhari, a fulani man.

What has igbo got to do with this now Or is ur comment not on the topic?
And u even wrote like 10pages of offpoint. Na wa o

Looking out for your tribe isn't tribalism. The act of always putting your tribe first is ethnocentrism. This is cool and not necessarily worse, although others may be affected. But malicious discriminations on the basis of tribe, and intended to cause hurts and resentments can be defined as tribalism. It's like hating someone because that person is from a tribe. That is bad, and it's called tribalism. But looking out for your kind isn't tribalism, but ethnocentrism.

Baba Awolowo was NOT a tribalist. Only emptied illiteracy-infested fools call Baba a tribalist. Awolowo in his characteristic Yoruba-centric modes, was only being ethnocentric. I love Baba, and I hope to attain the big stage one day. Then all the one-Nigeria apologists, confused Yoruba liberals, soldouts, and other tribes will know the real meaning of YORÙBÁ FIRST in development and nationalism.

Major General Aguyi Ironsi gave the order for the capture of Major General Aguyi Ironsi & Colonel Ojukwu was sent to capture Adaka Boro. Ojukwu paraded Adaka Boro naked in the streets of Yenagoa but the same useless Okukwu included Niger Delta in his Biafran map without even consulting with Adaka Boro or any of our people. The same Ojukwu invaded Edo & Delta despite both states not being part of the of Biafra!!

Igbos are worse than anything they criticize!!

Why is it only Igbos who must view their success as an exponent of dominance over others?

That is Igbos for you. They want the right to offend others while refusing to accept the consequences of their offensive ways.

This is why they are currently political outcasts with no major Party willing to support their ambition to lead Nigeria.

Just of recent... They're asking other region to protect igbos...

But they enjoy attacking and killing northners on daily basis!!

You people are just going to pay!!!!

Hausa-fulani soldiers from d Nigerian army killed Ahmadu bello.


Please bring any form of evidence that Ojukwu paraded Adaka boro naked in the streets of yenogoa

Summary for those not willing to read through..

This one na correct one chance....

I wouldn't be surprised if Buhari fields Northerners as both the presidential and vice presidential candidates of APC in the coming elections..

Lol. You just nailed it! Next occupant of the seat might just be another northerner supported by Buhari and this will make Tinubu and co very very angry but in all all yoruba had waited for, that's making them especially the upper class silent in the face of tyranny, would be in vain.
South West would be largely divided near 2023. Buhari would buy all the buyable consciences in the west and his protégé would win and become our next president.

Arrewa:
The igbos started tribalism in Nigeria by killing sardauna of sokoto, Ahmdu Bello, Abubakar Tafawa Belewa and other northern leaders!!

the Igbos had good relations with the North & as such the Igbos had more appointments in government from Southern Nigeria.

The same Igbos launched a coup d’état that not only removed Tafa Balewa but killed him as well. The Igbos never complained of marginalization under Tafa Balewa.

Their son (Nnamdi Azikiwe) refused the right to include the secession clause that Awolowo had proposed. In his words ‘WE ARE ONE NIGERIA’. Ahmadu Bello even proposed to include Awo’s secession but Nnamdi Azikiwe refused.

Nnamdi Azikiwe knew that about Major General Aguyi Ironsi’s coup beforehand and ran away. The same Major General Aguyi Ironsi scraped the Regional system that Nigeria had practiced & replaced it with a Unitary system.

All efforts to make him return it back to the regional system fell on deaf ears.

Nothing lasts forever...Change is permanent..
If Igbos could survive during and after the civil war, nothing on earth can stop them..
U have clung to power because without it, u r dead..But the Igbos without it have been better than u...that's y u still hate them..
Igbos can survive any era but u northerners cannot...
U guys will soon start to consume yourselves.. In fact u have started already..
Igbos are a blessed tribe just like the Israelis... They will last the test of time..
God bless the Igbo race and punish her haters...Ise!

can we just allow peace to reign... Let forgive our short coming

Arrewa:
you guys are the most tribalistic people in Nigeria.

People who can't breath without tribalism!!!

You people are now using instigating strategy...

Pitching every tribe against the north....

You guys are succeeding for now...but it's not going to last!!

Soon you'll have no place to run to!!

The Diallos are bigger than you people!!!

Make una enjoy for now... But have it at the back of your mind that that thing you Igbo think you know...

The Fulanis also know it 10x....

We just don't make noise!!

Make una enjoy for now.... the Diallos are coming!!

I respect you for digging deep into the history book to make it known to us how it all happened. Kudos to you!

Lemme tell you one of the greatest problem of Nigeria. We feel people should suffer because of history whereas we should check history to see how far we have gone. People who proposed decentralised system of government because they were minority are kicking against it now that they are majority. It means they all have ulterior motive. Have you asked yourself why those who advocated for it never had the power to do it when in charge? Ofcourse, you wouldn't. Know this and know peace. We are being used as experiment by the white folks. They will do everything to make sure the black folks don't progress because of what they benefit from us. You may wana ask what that is, and it is the fact that we are dumping grounds to some of their technologies.

Shall we as a nation continue like this? Take a peep at Rwanda. The President there is doing exactly what a leader who needs growth ought to do. If the Igbos could lose their stakes in every facet of the nation then, do you think the north won't still lose theirs? My overall objective is we can't go on like this whether you feel our forefathers treated your people with utmost disrespect. We want growth as a nation, and not the divide and conquer tactics by our leaders


Imagine, people are happy because just because people who voted Buhari are suffering as well. It shouldn't be so. Even people who voted him have the mindset he was going to be better than the previous leaders . The only reason Nigeria will never be great is if we continue in this our tribalism route, otherwise let's all secede and build our respective nations.

Coldshisha:
Very Nepostic tribalist

Sharap your ewedu muslim mouth there.
I bet you were ready to go out and start looking for Ibos to kill in Ibadan if bigot buhari whom you muslim yorubas voted had lost 2015 elections.

Now that you are left with the shortest end of stick you are lamenting. You monkeys prolly thought buhari was coming solely to 'show Ibos pepper'. You thought he care about you myopic ewedu muslim mor0ns.

Ndi ara!

Anyone in military from beginning to Abdulsalam, especially from the North is tribalistic. IBBs and Abacha's periods were the peak of it.

It's still there.

WesternOligarch:


In your daft attempt to gaslight me, you made absolutely zero sense.

He actually made a lot of sense, that's why none of your towns outside Lagos is developed. They all look like poverty stricken shitholes. That's why you could vote for buhari twice cos you people are incredibly dumb. If Biafra manages to go and the country eventually divides theyorubas will still not be able to developed shit. It's all empty talk

Arrewa, you talk too much and you only say shit that favours you. Igbos are not your problem, the terrorism, Banditry, and poverty you breed are. So, can you channel to effort to curbing ills. Thank you.

If the igbos started tribalism, I can assure you the hausa-fulani have perfected it.

No need to waste your time spewing rubbish which we know is a lie.

The country is going to split whether you like it or not and your divide and conquer tactics as well as trying so desperately to take over Southern lands by any means necessary are dead on arrival.
