Brek:

Dude the southsouth had alot of oil so why would he need the whole of southwest? Like I said Lagos was a big place for trade and goods and was the capital of Lagos. I thought you said the northerners cared about the southwest?

Brek:

So why did they invade Biafra before it had invaded the mid western region?

OAFMods:
Just listen to this dull headed monkey so you can't not trust a Tinubu that took Lagos from nowhere to the 4 largest economy in West Africa ?

You can't trust Tinubu but the same Tinubu nearly tripled IGR while the bastard you trust can not increased but mere 10%

You can not trust Tinubu who invested state in Econet n reap bountifully tripling the investment while you can trust a Pandora criminal who investment million into brewery but today it is worth nothing.

Reasons like yours is why South Africa companies will always do beta than Nigeria where ever we meet be it in Nigeria SA or neutral countries.

Your head as been completely damaged with propaganda that you can not read n discern.

I see foolish ipob claim Tinubu pocket 10% of Lagos IGR which he nearly tripled. Now business wise remove Tinubu 10% from Lagos IGR n compare it with Pandora Peter Obi was that was not able to grow IGR by 2% which will be favourable to any organization in the short n long term.

Note Tinubu was never caught looting as governor when Peter Obi was caught red handed by Marvel Akpoyibo the then Lagos commissioner of police. Tinubu did not open Pandora account in his second term like Pandora Peter Obi did with his daughter Gabrielle. Tinubu did not build malls in Abuja n PH with state fund like the Pandora criminal.

Thank God the almighty is now burning down all the looted commonwealth of Anambra by Pandora as seen with the Abuja mall which the bastard as been unable to rebuild since it was burn to the ground.

If it is not bigotry hate n outright foolishness someone will compare Tinubu with the Pandora criminal just imagine noble investment such as the Eko Atlantic, Lekki seaport n several estate with Abraham Adesanya Estate being one.

As small as Abraham Adesanya Estate is what housing project did the Pandora criminal Peter Obi embarked upon that can compare to that ? The said thing the fools living in the same estate will troop out to vote the Pandora criminal when they see their benefactor on the ballot out of outright bigotry n hate.

Bros you for just say something else not this thing you typed here. It betrays your hypocrisy. You know you will never support an Igbo man. So take it with full chest or better be quiet about it. This same thing you said about Umahi and Obiano was said about Rochas by many hypocrites, but what happened when he started to contest?
All these "Igbo did that or said that, that's why they are hated" is just attempts to cover up the phobia within because other tribes have done and said worst things, even you. Imagine if Tinubu was an Igbo man with all the baggages, or El rufai or Shettima and many others. Or even Igbos were to be the ones doing what Fulani herders are doing. All these Igbos are grabbing our land have not been pointed out by any one. Igbos acquire properties legitimately, they don't force people to sell their lands.

Some phobia are just with no reason, or to put correctly, some people don't want to admit the reason for their phobia so they keep looking for something else to hold.

BabaRamota1980:


Get lost. Which war history are you reading?

If Biafra was invaded it never would have had the courage to begin occupying SS because Scorpion would long before then had mowed it down into rubbles.

T8ksy:



please, point out where I opined that Northerners gives a damn about the southwest.
Why would the fulanis cares about yorubas when all our previous interactions with the marauders from futa jallon, has been all about wars and destructions.

Fulanis would not fight ojukwu for lagos only to hand it over to yorubas. Hell No.

Brek:

So why did they massacre asabas when they tried to capture Lagos?

T8ksy:



Abeg, don't even go there.
Asaba massacre had nothing to do with Ojukwu's failed attempt to capture Lagos.

Goodlady:

Igbos caused Jan 1966 coup.
I lectured you sometimes ago. But you didn't bother to verify the facts.
In the begining, Igbo was the first president in person of Azikiwe. Nigeria had a tier system of govt where there's pm and premier if the three regions. Zik was central president, Balewa was prime minister, Ahmadu Bello was premier of the north and Akintola was that of western region and Micheal Okpara was premier of eastern region.
The govt was going on jejely from 1960-1966 suddenly, Kaduna Nzeogwu, an Igbo officer and some other boys who were mainly Igbos planned coup. They killed Balewa, Akintola and Ahmadu Bello but spared Azikiwe and Michael Okpara. It looked so premeditated cos those two that were spared were part of the govt. Another Igbo man got into power in person of Aguiyi Ironsi.
Ironsi arrested the coup plotters and kept them in prison till some officers started mutiny against him that he's favoring the convicted. Instead of acting fast to prove his innocence, he delayed till he was killed. This isn't to justify his killings cos those that killed him ll surely receive judgement on earth or in heaven. Aftermath, Igbos were treated badly in the north. Not in the southwest. It was the north and I must v told you before that north is the common enemy.
Ojukwu was infuriated with these and hatched Biafra. Though, Ojukwu was justified to fight for his people. But his fight wasn't properly planned. At the end, the FG found a way to outsmart him by starving his troops and people by blocking their food supply.
Somehow, rumours came out it was Awolowo that sold the idea for FG led by Gowon to secure his freedom cos he had issues with FG at that time. Since then, Awolowo was hated by Igbos for no just reason. They can't hate the north. It's allege that Muritala Mohammed killed Ironsi but Igbos can't hate him.
Gowon too that led the war, them no hate am.
Wetin come concern Yorubas?
Since that time, it's one jealousy or the other towards southwest. Azikiwe had the opportunity to team up with Awolowo in 1979 to retain power in the south. Instead, he supported Shagari. He repeated it in 1983 for Shagari's re-election.
Fast forward to 1993, Actor Izeribe (not real name) frustrated MKO Abiolas victory and was part of those Abacha used to trash the victory.
In all these, wetin southwest do una?
It's good to know the source of a problem whether it's spiritual or whatever!
Have you ever heard Yorubas fighting or killing Igbos like the way Hausa/Fulanis kill Igbos or Yorubas?
So who's your enemy?
A woman is lecturing you. If you knew all these before, why are you pained?
Enjoy the fruit of past deeds na.

XAUBulls:

Indeed.

Sometime last month, Reno Omokri whose father is Urhobo and mother is Itsekiri wrote about how his uncle, the iconic Okotie Eboh (an Itsekiri Chief and Finance Minister of Nigeria) along with other prominent politicians and Senior Military officers, were gunned down by those majorly Ibo "schoolboy" coup plotters in the January 1966 coup.

Reno wrote about how post-January 1966 coup, Ibos living in the North and East of Nigera proceeded to jubilate and openly taunt and insult others through media articles and songs (which is still going on as of today) and he had to report those Obi supporters to Obi, but Obi could not call to order his majorly Ibo supporters who were always insulting and mocking others online and online.

These led to the reprisal attacks on Ibos in the North in 1966. Nnamdi Azikiwe confirmed all these narcissistic tauntings by some Ibos in the pamphlet he wrote on the immediate causes of the Nigerian Civil War.

Chinua Achebe also wrote about the notorious Ibo narcissism in his last published book:

“I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.” ~ Achebe

BabaRamota1980:


Gidgiddy, explain why Biafra occupied MidWest state in 1967, and declared it republic of Biafra, then appointed an Iboman as a ruler in a non-Biafran territory.

Explain why they hate Ibo in Kenya, Uganda, Gabon, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Tanzania, South Africa, Thailand, Malaysia India, Cambodia, Indonesia, Phillipines, and so many others.

These are foreigners, not your countrymen, Yoruba and Fulani that you blame for your hatred.

Obi lost trust in UK and was repatriated from border. Ekweremadu is serving sentence.

There has to be something in Ibo that makes him repulsive everywhere he touches.

Better check yourself...before you wreck yourself.

T8ksy:



Your examples are lame to say the least. Wetin concern aro chukwu with Nigeria who have many linguistic nations within?

So, once ojukwu captured the mid-west and then lagos-home to the yorubas, the Northerners, unaffected by the war so far, will just automatically capitulate, ba? Warp logic, only to be expected from a cloned biafran.

The Northerners don't give a damn about us southerners anyway so why would they surrenders to Ojukwu's demand 'cause ojukwu had just captured the capital of the country? Most of the military installations in the country were located in the north and the fulanis were in fact, prepared to exit the nation even after their revenge coup of July '66.

At any rate, Oju-iku's hold on southern Nigeria, even with the capture of lagos will be anything but definite as there were resistances to his occupation of the mid-west and so will it be in lagos and its environs, as well

It was a bold and audacious strategic move by ojukwu however it was doomed to failure right from the get-go. No group in the south was willing to accept ibo preponderance over their own land hence why the mid-west formed resistance groups to sabotage ibo's occupation of their land. So will it be with the yorubas too, had Ojukwu's BLF taken lagos.

But then, ojukwu didn't need the whole country, all he required is southern Nigeria where all the resources of the country, is located.
