Saro wiwa was never a Saint, he was used and destroyed by the same people.

They used him and boro Park against the Igbos

Today they are still worse off

huptin:
This is not true please, this same Port Harcourt people you want to vote for you, you are demonizing them, calling them thieves, desecrating their hero's memory, but if they say they aren't Igbos you will still be angry!

Come on. You guys need to learn maturity. It is saddening, the hate in your blood is horrendous.

JOemmy:



How is stating facts horrendous and hate? Nigeria can never know true peace and prosperity until it learns what is called justice and equity. There's no time igbos have even claimed ogoni people.

DubaiLandLord:
Ibos were no longer Nigerian.

The Western region government should have declare their properties as abandon properties too.

I love what our brothers and sisters in the South South didm

JavaScript9091:

Point of correction, ijaws stole Igbo properties by declaring them abandoned

obaaderemi:
So why weren't the properties returned after the war? Like in Ibadan and Lagos and other parts of western Nigeria?

kingthreat:


In war, the victor claims all. Till now, Japan is still answers to the USA. That is why when you want to fight a war, be ready to win at all costs because the price of losing is enormous.

Europe paid dearly for maltreating Germany after the first world war with the second world war. The biggest hit was France since they took a good chunk of German lands after world war 1.

During the Israeli Arab war, Israel parts of Egyptian lands, specifically the Sinai penisula. But in the interest of future peace, Israel returned the land and Egypt vowed never to stand against Israel again.

The ijaw man is not wise. Nigeria will not hold the large igbo nation forever and ijaw will be the largest casualty when igbos come for their lands in Bonny, opobo and the rest

huptin:


Where is the fact? Where is the proof? Any link to justify this malicious, unproven accusation?

Tranquill:


It you that is mad? Which Igbo man is a hero to the Ogonis? Tell your parents to tell you the truth because whatever action you claim were taken after the war were justified by the various atrocities, brazen thievery and reckless land grabbing by the Igbos using their control of the eastern government before the war.

You guys should continue to wallow in falsehood, selective truth and self delusion that won't change anything.

Today it is Ikwerre people that masterminded Abandoned property, tomorrow it is saro wiwa, next it is Ijaw people, David Mark, Diete Spiff, Elechi Amadi etc.

Abegi go siddon.

Gibberish!!

If Ironsi dealt with the coup plotters immediately and handover power to civilians maybe the counter coup won't have happened.

Killing of Ibos in the North was a terrible thing, but Ojuku knew seccesion is a crime in Nigeria, Nnamdi Azikwe was against the seccesion clause in our constitution, so secceding is a crime

Imagine if the Scottish just decide to secced from the UK without carrying other people alone.

You saw how it ended for the Catalonians in Spain?

No where in the world will Ojuku do what he did and it won't lead to a civil war.

He didn't just leave with Ibo land, he left will Cross River and Rivers State, the states that is not part of Ibo land.

Christistruth00:





Before that ever happened Azikiwe as Premier of the East Commandered much of Port Harcourt Lands for Government Projects and shared much of it among his Kinsmen and Friends by the time Ojukwu took over 93 % of Port Harcourt Lands had been forcefully acquired by non Indigenes through Azikiwe’s scheming

On Freehold O !
Not on leasehold that would have returned the land to the indigenes after 99 years

The Indigenes Of Port Harcourt were practically Squatters on their own Ancestral Lands

There worse part was that selling land was against their Culture so the Easter Region had acquired the Lands by Strong Arm Tactics

Adaka Boro and his boys were like , you have pushed us to the wall and we are not having this

That was what led to the Adaka Boro Niger Delta Revolution Of 1966

revolt:
. He called a meeting of traditional leaders esp from the minorities and overwhemingly they supported secession.. only reason they betrayed biafra ...was the fact gowon carved up the east so they probably thought this would give them more independence... clearly showing how much wisdom they had. Ojukwu did not declare biafra by himself...

DubaiLandLord:
Northern Civilians have been attacking Ibo civilians before 1960, when men like Awolowo suggested that a seccesion clause to be included in our constitution, Azikwe refused.

I'm not jealous of any Ibo man, I do not care if they leave Nigeria or not, but what I won't agree with is an Ibo man saying someone is stopping them from leaving when they are not taking any meaningful step in leaving.

revolt:
Igbos fought a civil war to leave and were ready to forfeit their assets outside the east...Nigeria fought for 3 years to bring them back.... wtf

aribisala0:
Exaggeration and lies

People killed in Kano in 1952 were solely Ibo?? SOURCE
When you lie so shamelessly no one takes you seriously anymore
Was anyone convicted by Ironsi for the slaughter of NON+IBOS in the January 15 1966 Coup

At least it is a fact those killed were
SOLELY NON-IBOS

aribisala0:
It is not public knowledge.
It is another Eboe lie
Ojukwu went to court against Lagos State and won his property back so stop telling all these childish lies
Not only WAEC House what about Unilag is that not part of his property?

Tranquill:


This is what they never tell their children.

revolt:
ojukwu didnt win back all his dads properties ....point of correction.

Putindbutt:

What was the active role of Ademoyega?.. Could you highlight his so called active roles.. Lying scumbag.

Putindbutt:

There was a clamour for the creation of COR states but was denied them. They wanted an independent state from ibo majority.

DubaiLandLord:
Gibberish!!

What year and date is Rivers and Cross River created?

When did Ojukwu declare Biafra?

When did this traditional meeting take place and where?

Minorities in the Eastern region were complaining about been marginalise, and this same people suddenly accepted to be in Biafla with ibos they were claiming was marginalising them? Do you even have sense at all to think this through Mr. Man?

Ojuku can't just decide to secede just because leaders from the minority group gave him ahead to do so

Only through a referendum can such a thing happen.

Ojuku should have learnt to what happened to Adaka Boro.

Adaka Boro also had a valid reason to secede and he didn't even secede with Ibo land.

logicalman:


You people can liar with straight face.That it is why some of your prophets confuse themselves and the gullible with false prophesies .look at the way you are accusing great Zik and the richest man in Nigeria then in the person of land grabbing without a prove.Without any substantial prove.

revolt:
if you don't know a meeting was held and are asking me for details then there is really no need to argue with you. Go and read different accounts of history books.... better still just read ADEMOYEGAS BOOK.... WHY WR STRUCK... Hopefully bigotry will not cloud reasoning.

It even goes back to the 1940s. .. u kids with no knowledge of history keep talking trash.

Ojuku didn't hold any meeting with minorities in Rivers State and Cross River state, he was only the Governor of the East Central State.
