Jakumo:


 Now then, since we have discovered that you are prone to hysterical bellowing and hyperventilation at the mere mention of Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu's name, I would like to go ahead and confess now that I do in fact regard that man as a national hero because he surgically removed a few particularly horrid scumbags before their grand scheme to destroy Nigeria could reach critical mass so soon after that nation's independence from British rule.

one of the reasons why Awo devise the starvation stuff against the ibos during the war is simply because he does not want them to win hence break away and its not because he loves one Nigeria but simply because he want to rule a big Nigeria perhaps with oil which he desire so much.you may recollect that he would have actually been the first prime minister but for the british insinuation of northerners against him because they too believe the northerners will be more easy to control(indirect rule success)

High_Chief:

^^^FG never fed Biafrans and Biafrans never asked to be fed by Nigeria, but Awo in his evil deeds advised Gowon on the blockade. Red cross and other charity organizations were stopped from supplying food to the region and Awo championed that idea so get into your head. The blood of the children Awo killed enhanced his suicide. Anyways, I hope you guys are enjoying the country now.

i can now see how ignorant and ill informed you're instead of you to take an opportunity of grabbing what you don't know you're abusing and spitting rubbish out of your mouth. please only people with sound knowledge of the history of Nigeria should participate in the politics section here. or i guess you're only being tribalistic in defending awo,sorry i'm not party to tribalism even though i'm a yoruba man

dayokanu:

cdoffx,

So you dont see anything wrong in those Ibo soldiers killing other regional leaders and sparing theirs?

I guess that sums up your whole post

Jakumo:


Correct me if I am wrong, good sir, but I deduce all that wasted energy was simply on account of the fact that terrorist gang leader Ayatollah Buhari Bin Laden [/b]recently lost his 15th straight presidential election, and that your dream of bullwhipping Nigerian women, and forcing them into batman costumes was summarily flushed down the toilet of history yet again by the Nigerian electorate who roundly rejected that murderous [b]orangutan to whom you affixed all your hopes for Nigeria's regression back to the stone age.

well it depends on how you see it like i've posted before Micheal Opkara was marked to be killed but unfortunately he has an international visitor with him,we also know Aguiyi escaped also so it not that some are spared. however not all marked to be killed were corrupt but some has to be sacrificed for peace as Nzeogwu said and we see that its this failure that truly took peace away.

i don't have time for ignoramus like you

Jakumo:

This is getting really exciting now, Northsharp. 

Before you finally publish the White Paper findings from this research that is under way, I must insist that you track down some of my thoughts regarding Pastor Eunuch Adejale Adebole, of the "My-church-owns-the-Lagos-Expressway" fame. 

Regarding Obasanjo, it took me longer than most to catch on and denounce the fact that he was in fact one of Nigeria's most successful embezzlers, who helped himself to a widely-reported $19 billion budgetary allocation intended for the restoration of electrical power to Nigeria, at the tail end of his tenure as president.     

Hopefully my opinion about that pair of weasels will assure you that bad men or women of[i] all [/i] tribal affiliations, and indeed of all nationalities, will always be fair game for the poison pen of internet attack-hounds like yours truly, just as those who do good will always merit an honorable mention from me, as insignificant as that may be in the grand scheme of things.

Michael Okpara was marked to be killed yet his house was the first place Ifeajuna ran to after murdering Balewa?

Aguiyi escaped, Azikwe escaped.

Why was it that it was only the Igbo politicians that managed to escape

+ Major Okafor. Barely 10hrs after the coup commenced both majors were having tea with Dr. Michael okpara who in actual fact aided their escape to Ghana. I wonder wtf they were discussing with okpara? Possibly the price of tea in china !

Maj. Chude-Sokei was the officer designated to lead the effort in the East and Midwest. Before d-day, he was sent abroad for training and so only a lowly Lieutenant Oguchi was dispatched to arrest Dr Okpara. Somehow, he did not!. The story was that he was delayed leaving Lagos and then when he left 24 hrs later, his vehicle broke down. He arrived Enugu on the 15th. When he arrived and tried to carry out his orders he found that some Archbishop, the Cypriot leader was visiting and needed to be officially seen off at the airport.


The Premier of the Midwest, Dennis Osadebay, also an Igbo man was not touched

@Jakumo, pardon me, but I believe NorthSharp is about to expose ya yansh o. If care is not taken, NorthSharp's wind go blow and Jakumo fowl yansh go open.

Jakumo:

Not to worry, Onyisi Ndu Chuks.   A delegation of nervous peace-makers, wearing ill-fitting three-piece suits from the Thrift Store, have just arrived from the NorthSharp encampment, and they have now been permitted to proceed cautiously through the no-mans-land mine-field, towards my bunker, with their message requesting a tentative cease-fire for the duration of this discussion, after which normal artillery exchanges will resume per schedule.

A the old Mongolian saying goes, "It takes a patient man to cook a stone to tenderness", which is why we are here - to cook stones.

when d news dat d sardauna had been murdered spread in d north like wildfire, ppl waited anxiously 2 hear by whom! then d names of those northerners killed in lagos began 2 emerge. d news was still a rumour then. sudddenly one little known name came on air through radio nigeria, kaduna. and ppl suddenly new soldiers had striked.
Trust d igbo. unce the soldier's name was chukwuma, they came out d streest of kd with posters of d sardauna & tafawa balewa & placards dat reads "Allah hausa ya mutu". people suddenly became very, very agitated but were begged to exercise patience. Now when your leaders are fulani & when they asked u 2 exercise patience over perceived injustice without talking 2 your oppressor, dat oppressor better prepared 2 run! wat d igbo came out to wail about is d result now

alj harem:

Now with that said

I like to reaffirm somethings on this thread

1. Not all Igbos are baifrans and indeed majority of them are one of the nicest people I ever meet

2. That was 1960, this is 2012 so why do we keep going back to the hateful and bitter history

3. I understand why the younger generations of igbos are bitter and angry but I urge them to leave the past with the past and focus of the future.

4. Igbos are one of the most industrious people on earth and I am happy and proud to have them in the same country as myself. Indeed every Nigerian should be happy to have Igbos in Nigeria and be thanking God for that.

5. God Bless Nigeria.
