I don't expect you to have sense.

Igbos killed Akintola, Victor Banjo and many other top Yoruba soldiers. Apologize to us.
Apologize to the North for killing Ahmadu Bello and the first prime minister Tafawa Balewa.
Apologize for invading Benin, Bayelsa and the present Rivers communities.
God bless the Nigerian nation. An Igbo man will never rule over us.

Igboslayer:
Your foolish ancestors and fathers chose to make war to divide Nigeria when they feel they can no longer be at peace with other ethnic tribes in Nigeria. Surely they will be consequences.

They deserve what they got…Igbos and the victim mentality, they will always blame others for their stupidity. Na Queen advice Ojukwu to start a civil war or made Igbo military officers planned and execute Nigeria’s first coup that killed mostly Hausas leaders like Tafawa Belawa, Ahmadu Bello and preserved Igbo leaders.

You can not start animosity and demand love at the same time, this has been the narration Igbos are too famous for. You started a war you can’t win and blame people for taking sides in other to protect over 150 million potential refugees from Nigeria eclipsing the whole of West Africa if Ojukwu had succeeded in his ethnic motivated dominance.

This would have created the worst catastrophic population implosion all over West Africa with sudden surge of displaced people from Nigeria finding Safty all over the region, if Ojukwu had succeeded in capturing Lagos like he was planning to do.

Igbos paid the supreme price for the profound foolishness of their leaders and possibly still paying the price for not learning any lessons from their indiscretion.

Did you said Igbos started a war they could not win,hope you read the part it was because of the Britain timely intervention that save you coward Nigerians from annihilation from brave Biafra Soldiers(Igbos).So next time you and your coward people call brave Igbos chest beaters kindly look yourself in the mirror to know who is coward............I am that Igbojew the table shaker

Apologize to you for a war you started? Ojukwu should be the one to apologize for foolishly leading your blind fathers into a war they were never going to win.
What were they thinking when they killed one of the brightest minds the northern Nigeria had ever produced, sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello, Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola and 19 others while sparing their own people in power at the time?
They even installed an Igbo man to be the head of government yet these set of vile people keep playing the victim cards on us.
The Igbo race owes the Southwesterners, the South-south people as well the Northerners an apology for killing their sons and revered leaders in the event that marked the first ever bloodshed disguised to be a political struggle. You can’t keep claiming to be victims when indeed, you started the madness but got yourselves whipped and tamed and reduced to dots in a circle ever since. Pls swallow your L in peace and move on. Nigerians too deserve a profound apology from you pigs.

Rather they should demand apology from azikiwe and his collogues that misled their tribe.

When other regions wanted to stay alone as independent country, its azikiwe that insisted on one nigeria.

When awolowo went to azikiwe to form government so that azikiwe would lead the government, azikiwe rejected and ran to north to form government with them.

Igbos were highly represented in Tafawa Balewa government, but igbos were not satisfy, they wanted ways to dominate other tribes totally, they planned coup and killed leaders of other regions and did not kill any of of their leaders.

When the coup failed, they switched to their other plan which was biafra.
That led to biafra war.

What led to the Biafran War was not the Coup, There were as well other Coups after that why was there no War?
What led to the Declaration of Biafra was the unprovoked killings of Igbos Up North which was cheered on for whatever reasons by the govt of the day.
War was fought,No Victor no Vanquish declared,the Question now should be,is the Country better NOW after all the Blood spilled?

ComeToJesus:
There is a place for hard discussions like this. People should stfu and stop trying to tell a person how to express pain and emotions.

She must have contemplated on the the likely outcomes of her outbursts before writing about her pain. You don't tell a person how to express his/her angst or misgivings over a situation.

Uju is well on her right to express her self. Though entrance to the museum is free, Britain still rakes in millions of pounds as proceeds from the Galleries and exhibitions of stolen Bini artworks and artefacts still displayed in their museums. Those are illegal earnings. Would anyone try that with the British and go scot-free?

You destroyed the great Bini Kingdom and sent King Ovonramwen Nogbaisi on exile to Calabar. You rob a people,plunder their resources, coercively merge independent nations together, ship their able bodied men and women to your plantations in the carribeans, decimate their cultures and give name new names and expect their offsprings to be happy with you? You are deluded.

If Uju were in the UK, there is a possibility that a nationalist would have assassinated her. You encourage people to keep talking anyhow. At least you cannot do the same to Islam in public.
On the Benin invasion, the Bini kingdom was already weak in the late 19th century. Ovonramwen killed tens on British soldiers. On expecting war with the British, many innocent indigenes were sacrificed to appease the gods to favour him in the war. Then the British came with a force and showed him the Art of War and looted. To the victor, all the spoils. That was the story. There was a provocation.
You should be lucky that it is the British empire in power. If Hitler had succeeded, a rebellious tribe would have been exterminated. If you have a problem with colonization, then your people instead of fighting stupid battles, looting resources and being corrupt should create a formidable military. From Day 1, Earth has been about conquest. We speak English because our ancestors were weak.

I really love the great Igbo tribe even though I am not Igbo. Even in the face of oppression the fear no one, they speak their mind and fear no idiot. Infact it's this inherent behavioral disposition of fearlessness constantly and consistently displayed by them that I believe the saying that goes thus: "Igbo man bows for no one except his chi"

This fearless trait is not only found in their men but also their women. Aba women riot of 1929 came to mind were Ikonnia,Nwannedia and Nwugo, beautiful Igbo women lead the protest successfully, and recently the case of Uju and the queen is a clear study of what their women is made of. God bless them.

Don't think that Igbo men will run away from their ancestral land to Benin republic or Cote D'Ivoire, they fight bravely and die as warriors..while others run and still die as cowards.

So you expect to kill a northern Prime Minister and Sardauna and no backlash. If Buhari was physically attacked on his visit to Imo, you think Igbos in all other parts of Nigeria will be safe? Not to even talk of him being assassinated. Stop supporting evil.

Heffalump:


You people should stop exposing your true colors and natural identity to the entire world. There's a whole lots of folly and insane display of character by the so called professor Uju. This is going to dent her image internationally when inquisitive minds go back to read about the Biafra war, mark my words. We all read the history and know the true position of things.

Igbos invited the war upon themselves and it's indeed, regrettable. You want people to feign ignorance and be subsumed in your greed for power and dominance, while you think you're the only learned folks in your stupid mentality. I'm still baffled that this character of the Igbos have not changed since 1966. Uju is embarrassing her entire generation unknowingly, or perhaps in her stupid wisdom it's right to do so.

The Queen of England, like many heads of governments all over the world knew the truth very well, that was the reason why she boldly supported the country she had worked hard to build. Nobody needed to advise her otherwise. She equally knew your true character as colonial master then, that was one cogent reason the British gave power to the North. I feel cheated already, courtesy of your natural disposition and penchant for greed. Invariably, this has robbed me of what Nigeria should have been today if power came to the South.

You people (modern Igbos) should learn to be good students of history and correct the ugly and wicked mistakes committed yesteryears by your ancestors.

I don't have any hatred for an Igboman, I still support Peter Obi for presidency as I'm fully "Obidient" with my entire clan and village. But the truth must be told always for posterity to judge. Peace!


If you like try by using your last line where you said that you don't have any hatred for Igbos and that you still support Peter Obi to water down the enormous hatred you have against Igbos the fact is Igbos have seen you people's hatred against them finish and they don't give a f*ck...............I am that Igbojew the table shaker

Why blaming a Queen for the damage Nigerian government caused.

After all biafra had it's own allies

The Queen's Britain will make Tinubu became president of Nigeria, that's all in your brain to be harping on the Queen here.
FYI,
The War against Biafra was fought like a Jihad by Nigeria army under the command of Arewa Muslims. That explains the high death toll on the part of Biafra.
Muritalla Mohammed even assembled and murdered about 1000 civilians overnight in Asaba, Delta state.
The likes of Obasanjo and Adekunle Scorpion were used as shield by Jihadists Arewa that coordinated the war.

The Northern Prime Minister was Killed by Kaduna Nzeogwu a Daltian and a Northerner by Birth and Mind.
It was a Military coup a Military affair,it really shouldn't have any business with the unarmed Civilians.
Btw the killings never started in 1960 we remember the Kano genocide in 1953,We remember 1945 and many previous organized unprovoked killings.
The North always feared the Social-Economic Progress of Ndigbo.
The Igbos feared the strong Numbers of Political will of the North,if this two factors was utilized for better purpose perhaps we would have been enjoying a better Society today.
