babapupa:
Is this not what you guys do for fun every single day on NL?

Do you guys not hate Awolowo and Yoruba people/

Do you not blame Yoruba people for Biafra and everything under the sun?

Do you see us starting threads just diss Igbo people like you guys do at will?

The fact is, we don't have insecurity issues like you guys, this is something you guys need to work on.

Shameless man. Now that I have proven to you that I have never insulted the Yorubas or any tribe for that matter you have turned to "you guys".

My name is Afam not you guys.

You are self destructing already.

@Afam


So because you find yourself in a fix whereby you cannot answer relevant questions put forward, you have now shed your madness and resorted to reason. Your tactic will not work.

You have consistently abused the Igbos and called them names and you expect me to answer your silly question? Not on your life.

You must learn to respect a people first.

You stated a while ago that you had always known me to be truthful so you have to live with that fact that the truth I am stating now is indeed reality.

babapupa:
Maybe you and your people should start by practicing what you're preaching here.

What you need to know is the fact that we are sick and tired of your needless anti Yoruba rants, you can't keep starting threads and posts insults just to trash and ridicule other people, it's just a matter of time before they respond accordingly.

You can recycle and regurgitate your Biafra dreams till eternity, we just don't care, start talking crap about Yoruba people and and we'll care and respond. It's your choice.


We don't look for trouble, but start one and we'll help you finish it. SIMPLE.

Desperation seems to be setting in here.

As a matter of fact I have never insulted the Yorubas or even the Hausas here or any where else because I will be silly to do that based on the fact that all Yorubas or all Hausas cannot be the same.

You see how clueless and silly you are? When I stated that your level of reasoning was low you mistakenly thought I was abusing you abi? See how you are supplying proof.

I can never get to your miserable level where I will be insulting a whole tribe, never, such nonsense is beneath me but certainly at your level. Live with that fact.

babapupa:
Still, your response was way off base.

Labeling everything bigotry don't bother me, you're free to keep repeating it though.

I don't insult, I don't abuse. I dare you to pull any post where I call people names, like slowpoke, slowpoke and all the other adjectives you guys use.

Calling people names doesn't help my argument, my facts does,

Good you are beginning to address issues, this is where you will be exposed for who you really are.

It is 100% better to call someone an idiot, slowpoke, stupid thing (based on a response in kind comment) than for anyone to insult a tribe or an ethnic group based on the actions of a few people. - BIG DIFFERENCE.

My happiness is that you cannot rise above such petty tribal insults because that is probably how you were brought up by your parents.

On the other hand I was made to understand that it is very wrong to abuse a tribe based on the actions of a few people.

Live with the facts above, thanks for asking for facts.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=399044.msg5540495#msg5540495 date=1266520137]@Afam,  Why is it difficult for you to answer a simple question. Stop dodging it. You should know by now that I'm immune to your insults.

Answer the simple question and if you are ashamed to answer, sa so. olodo

Do you feel perhaps Ojukwu might have surrendered earlier
than he did?[/quote]My apologies if you think I am insulting you, I am not I am merely stating the fact.

You are a shameless liar. You asked the question and I gave a direct answer which you addressed.

Why are you denying it now? Is this how you want to bring up a family? Only God knows what your values are in life.

I don't have to answer the same question over and over again because you are a shameless liar, God forbid!

babapupa:
All this because he politely asked you a question.


Saying you have no answer or you're too ashamed to answer would have sufficed instead of your unnecessary perambulation and trash talk.

You may be easily deceived by his type but not me.

I have answered his question before and he knows it. Ashamed of what? Ojukwu's mistake is not Afam's mistake so why should I be ashamed of what someone else may have done?

The problem with people like you is that you see everything through tribal prisms. Keep your tribal bigotry aside for a moment and you will see clearly.

I have gone beyond abusing a tribe as you effortlessly do here because it is stupid to do so.

These are facts that hatred and malice have blinded us to.

1. There are Northerners that hid Igbos during the war and thus prevented them from being killed.

2. There are Yorubas who either resigned from the Army rather than fight against Biafra or those that actually fought on the side of Biafra.

3. A lot of Igbos were being killed in different parts of the country and the FG couldn't do anything to stop this.

4. Eastern Region under Ojukwu remained a single region for close to one year after the July 66 coup by Gowon and co and within that time a peaceful resolution was being sought after. This necessitated the Aburi Accord which though all the participants signed and agreed to (with Ojukwu the only representative on the Eastern region side) but for some strange reasons abandoned by the FG under Gowon.

5. The name Biafra was suggested by an Ijaw man not even an Igbo man and the name was adopted by the government not a proclamation by Ojuwku.

There are indeed a lot of facts on ground and once we have mutual respect we can discuss anything under the sun.

I disagree with people who say we should forget about the past because doing so without addressing the cause or correcting the lies being spread would lead to a more serious problem in future.

All that is required is respect for truth and tolerance.

In all these, the most shameful set of people are those who for one reason or the other insult or abuse a tribe or an ethnic group due to the action of a few.

That an Hausa man killed an Igbo man does not mean that all Hausa people are bad.

That a Yoruba man killed an Igbo man does not mean that all Yoruba people are bad.

That an Igbo man killed a Yoruba or Hausa man does not mean that all Igbo people are bad.

We must rise above the tribal bigotry and address issues as they come without insulting a whole tribe since it is not possible for anyone to be dealt with by a whole tribe.

Insulting a people is both wrong and stupid.

@Afam

how can you boldly claim that people are lying against you when spread lies against others at will? It's just karma. And don't forget my constant question which you keep avoiding. WHY WAS OJUKWU GAINING WEIGHT WHEN OTHER IBOS WERE DYING OF STARVATION DURING THE BLOCKADE?

If you cannot get basic facts right about Ojukwu in spite of his mistakes then answering your equally childish question would amount to a waste of time. You must learn to respect a people first before expecting answers to any questions you may have unless of course your life revolves around insulting a people while claiming not to be doing so.

At least, you have been unmasked, thanks to you.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=399044.msg5540217#msg5540217 date=1266517693]I apologize if I missed youir direct response to the question so I ask you again:

Do you feel perhaps Ojukwu might have surrendered earlier

Thank you for you anticipated direct answer, even a Yes or No would do.[/quote]Your apology belongs to the trash can because you are worse than I had ever thought. If you can deny my response which was a direct response then you won't even have any problem denying your own father in public. You disgust me with your shameless lies.

If you cannot remember or cannot find the direct answer I gave you which you even commented on then taking otapiapia before sleeping this night would put you out of your misery.

Is it not the same misguided hatred that made you to only realize a few days ago that Nzeogwu was not an Easterner? And yet when people discuss about the civil war you bring out your hands to type nonsense.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=399044.msg5540070#msg5540070 date=1266516405]This is a very valid question. I'd be very much interested in the thoughts of well meaning and level headed Igbo posters. There may actually be a valid reason why Ojukwu chose to allow millions of people to die instead of surrendering early. No one has answered that question for me - most responders have chosen to rather tell us why Ojukwu is the leader of Igbos today.

Ojukwu is indeed the Igbo leader. He is infact the most powerful Igbo man alive in Nigeria today, he is loved and revered by the Igbos.

But why did he not surrender as soon as it became obvious that Biafra had been blockaded?  If this was a mistake, why can't any of our Igbo posters just say so? The man is only human, one mistake cannot take away his greatness.[/quote]Can you honestly state that you have not seen an answer to that question before even when it was asked by you or are you simply blinded by hate that you deny or pretend you have not been answered before?

I can imagine how hatred must have eaten deep into the souls of some of us here.

@Afam


I've been off Nairaland for a while and I really don't know what all y'all have been up to, but seriously, one thing I knew you for was truth. How can you just come out in grand propaganda style and accuse me of celebrating the killing of innocent citizens? What have they done to me?

Please if this has become your discussion style, then you mind your business and let me mind mine.


If anybody is still in doubt that Ojukwu is a sly crook, how can a man who never believed in the existence of a nation keep trying his luck at the seat of power? All Ojukwu wants is supreme power in an oil producing state and the only means through which he felt he could get it initially was by secession, wasting the lives of more than a million Nigerians. There's no man in this country that has been so wicked and so unrepentant because since he found out that violence could not work, he has resorted to elections.


Even Hitler did better by taking his own life when he had wasted those of millions of people. He didn't run away, he didn't claim that he was going to find a solution outside. He joined those whose lives he spent.


My simple question to you Afam and the rest of you all Ojukwu loyalists is simple: How come Ojukwu remained so fat when we were seeing pictures of Somali-ish babies and bony soldiers? How? Could it be that he was eating good and well? Licking milk and choice honey when your fathers where eating cyanide cassava in the field.


Ojukwu should be hanged publicly for war crimes he committed against the Ibos and this should be done before he luckily dies a natural death.

The same truth that you claimed you knew me for is the same truth that I am stating now.

Your comments about Ojukwu are in bad taste and are meant to insult not just him but the people he defended while other Nigerians were killing them without any end in sight.

I am surprised at your comments and it seems to me that thus far you had succeeded in masking your hatred for the Igbos.

One more, thing you are not in any position to advise or recommend to the Igbos how Ojukwu should be regarded.

For starters, he never stole anyone's money as he even used his father's money to defend the Igbos. Do not forget the fact that his father was about the richest man in Nigeria.

i would paste a simple snippet.

, CONCLUSION

If the foregoing has been a litany of woes, it is because the main aim of this retrospect is to bring out once more to the fore, the calamities and the ripple effects of the war. Inversely, from these woes, a lot of positive things have also emerged. Biafran technological breakthrough remains one of the most remarkable things the black race has achieved even when the story is distorted or the books containing them are allowed to rot away on the floor in Nigerian libraries. It has gone into the annals of history and, as the story is told from one generation to another, those monumental ideas and the ingenuity of those heroes who produced them may one day resurrect and be harnessed to free the black race from the shackles of economic slavery imposed on it since the white man set foot in the black nation. According Prof. Ikenna Nzimiro (1982), part of the lessons from the war consisted also in the fact that international observers testified to the ingenuity of the Biafran engineers who built Uli Airport. The Biafran Directorate of Propaganda led by Uche Chukwumerije was described by Harold Wilson the then British Prime Minister as "success unparalled in the history of communication in modern societies" (John Stremlau, 1977).



The Research and Production Directorate (RAP) produced 56% of arms used in Biafra. The "Ojukwu Bunker" in Umuahia also demonstrates that it is possible to build underground tunnels to decongest traffics in Nigerian cities. Biafra also refined crude oil using only local materials. Refineries built at Uzuakoli and Amandugba were capable of refining 50,000 gallons of fuel per day. Yet today, Nigeria imports refined fuel because none of her refineries is working at full capacity. Biafran chemists also produced 10 tons of pure salt per month. It was estimated to increase up to 50 tons if production continued. In the area of consumer goods, items which were usually imported such as toilet soaps, face-creams, Vaseline, biscuits, liquor, dyes, protein extracts and engine oil were all produced by Biafran scientists and engineers. Biafran engineers in the United Kingdom were also able to design plastic housing units for refugees. In fact, with regard to the principle of self-reliance which is what Africa so badly needs today, Biafra was a pace-setter. If this breakthrough were integrated and harnessed by Nigeria after the war, her crushing external debt would have been contained at least to a certain extent.



The Igbo have also learned a lot from the war. They now know that no matter how much money they make and keep outside, home is still home and that if the worst case scenario arises again, they have kept some sizable reserve to fall back on. Axel Harneit-Sievers et al point out that "it was common for successful Igbo migrants to invest in property at the places where they had spent most of their lifetime, today more investment is directed to home areas". Another positive lesson from the war is a sense of 'cooperation and self-help' it instilled in the people. The illusion of self-sufficiency and narrow sectionalism was shattered by the war. S. O. O. Ogazi sums it up in this way:

[The war] thought many people exactly how we are. We are not the rich people that we think we were. We discovered that without Hausa nama [cow], we couldn't get meat. We thought that we are self-sufficient in food and in the end we discovered that we depended so much on outsiders. Not that it has altered their way of life as such, but they were now more conscious of the dependence upon others.



The self-help syndrome of the Igbo became more prevalent when it became clear to them that the federal government rehabilitation and reconstruction plan was a political propaganda. With the help of the then East Central State government social clubs and age-grades in virtually every town or community began to reconstruct their damaged amenities and built new ones. The early 1970s and 1980s witnessed a boom in social clubs, which rendered help to needy members such as during funerals, marriages, and setting up of businesses etc. Unfortunately, the level of cooperation among Ndiigbo in the early post-Biafran period is waning very rapidly; this will not augur well for Ndiigbo at all. The survival of Ndiigbo in a contemporary Nigerian society consists in a coalition of forces to rebuild eroded social capital and networking, to re-energise, harness and re-channel Igbo spirit and ingenuity for a total integration into the mainstream of Nigerian affairs and/or a peaceful parting of ways.

The truth of the matter is that a lot of people from different parts of Nigeria are aware of the facts presented above and that is why they will rather die defending the many lies they tell than allow truth to prevail because they cannot stand the truth as the truth would change both the perception and reality of the Igbos in Nigeria and based on their actions and inactions many of them are way too ashamed to accept the import of their positions then.

This means that the media propaganda by the Western nations about the real state of the Zimbabwean economy remains a lie otherwise while would foreigners still be doing business in that country to the extent that a nationalization policy is being used to acquire them.

I don't have a problem with any country who may have been shortchanged in the past trying to take care of its citizens first before others. If Nigeria could do this things will be a lot better for Nigeria and Nigerians.

MY VERY POINT




[

Now, every single idiot comes to NL, lies about things and when exposed begin to claim to have made their points. You are just a pig that is completely insane.

Shoot2Kill:
Personally i think Abuja was just a move by IBB to secure himself after the Orji failed coup. The same paranoia led him to build his Niger mansion on a hill top far away from other people. I think it is important for the capital city of Nigeria to be located by the sea. Seaside capitals become more industrialized at a faster rate than land locked capitals.

The content in bold refers, was Abuja initiated by IBB and who is Orji that planned a coup?

doyin13:
I have no qualms with Igbos holding whomever they so wish in high esteem.

I just find it curious that this so loved man across Igbo land would fare poorly
along with his party in crucial elections within his err sphere of influence.

Well, the results being rigged is a distinct possibility. Both in previous elections
and the last Anambra elections.

Just curious my friend.

I thought you wrote the following?

doyin13:
If he is so revered and evidence of this was the recent Anambra elections,
how come he has failed miserably at the polls even in the East in the presidential
elections?

I expected you to back up the statement.

The rate at which misinformation is thrown about on this forum is really alarming.

May God help us all.

That is why they say you never know the value of integrity until you begin to look for it and can't find it.

Power is transient but do we ever remember this?

doyin13:
If he is so revered and evidence of this was the recent Anambra elections,
how come he has failed miserably at the polls even in the East in the presidential
elections?

Do you have the breakdown of the election results in the presidential elections to backup your claims? Or, is this another fly by night statement?

Even with the well reported rigging of the election by the PDP the breakdown will tell you a story that will continue to make you wonder.

Stick to facts you can defend as I am already tired of correcting misinformation.

And even in the Anambra elections not everyone voted for his preferred candidate and that goes to show you how independent minded the average Igbo man is.

Showing respect and holding him in high esteem does not mean that everyone must do what he wants as we are born free and we are allowed to do what pleases us.

So, if some people in Anambra can vote for other candidates it makes perfect sense to understand why the East will not return 100% vote for him. We do not play tribal politics when the Igbos must votes for the Igbos only. We have gone beyond that stage.

Tax payers money working wonders. How many teams have been sent to Saudi Arabia to look for Yar'adua? This country is sick. Even as at today we don't have a coach to take the Super Eagles to the world cup as we prefer to hire foreign coaches that could not take their own countries to the world cup or have been jobless for a while instead of using our own coaches.

Maybe one day we will look for foreigners to lead us in this country.

where did I ever support the massacre of innocent Ibos? Please, copy and paste.


By the way, can you attempt to give an answer as to why Ojukwu was so chubby during the blockade while everybody else was starving to death? Don't tell me you failed to notice that.

Did you read what you wrote down before posting? How dare you (a non Igbo) state that Ojukwu setup the Igbos for destruction and fled? If the Igbos with what they went through see him as a hero then your remarks are unsolicited and out of place.

What exactly is your problem with Ojukwu for you to use the type of words you used to address him when he neither abused you nor caused you any harm? Some of these remarks seem to be out of envy and jealousy that in spite of everything he is still alive and respected by his people who simply appreciate till today what he did in the face of oppression and wickedness by fellow Nigerians.

Look at the likes of Soludo and Andy Uba accepting the election result in Anambra in spite of their connections and wealth and try to understand why they readily accepted the result without bloodshed and petitions. It is not because Obi is wonderful but because the people of Anambra chose to grant the wish by Ojukwu. What more do you need to know that this man remains a hero who defied all odds and gave the Igbos a reason to be proud. Though defeated in war the Igbo man cannot be taken for granted again let alone being massacred by any Nigerian for any reasons at all. Thanks to Ojukwu for making sure of that.

I beg to disagree. Nuhu Ribadu did some good, lot more good than any law enforcer before him in the country. BUT that doesn't cover the fact that MOST of the people he went after were more or less politically at loggerheads with OBJ. Anybody who as much as listened to NTA network news during OBJ's period can bear witness to this. The guy did some good, yes, but let's not act or speak like we've forgotten that most of his actions were almost "telepathically" attuned to OBJ's master-plan.

Considering the facts about anti corruption fight before, during and after Ribadu I make bold to say that anti corruption fight under Ribadu was the best we have seen and if that is part of OBJ's master plan as you put it then kudos to OBJ too.

As long as no innocent man was harassed, prosecuted or detained by EFCC all the talk about whether the players were OBJ's friends or foes amount to rubbish because Ribadu did not deal with any innocent man.

Again, since Ribadu left why haven't all those friends of OBJ been rounded up and thrown to jail? Abi na Ribadu dey control the current EFCC chair too?

feyisan:
Statement of this nature is inflammatory. kindly desist from it.  Whether you are Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba- We are all Nigerians. Nobody denounced the fact that you were not brutalised. However, Ojukwu was part of the ugly equation. He ought not to have declared a war which unfortunately he could not finish.

Who told you that Ojukwu declared war? If you get a basic fact like this wrong how then do you want people to read the rest of your post?

KnowAll:
Your rather unbalanced and shifty C in C when the tide of his un-planned, un-thoughtful and untimely military jamboree became sour, he turned his anger in disgust at the tribes in the creeks.

It was not uncommon to see men, women and young boys burnt alive with tyres round their necks accused of being saboteurs of the war effort.

A covert ethnic cleansing policy was fully operational then, the evidence abounds today in present day Rivers and Bayelsa State where Igbo villages have sprung up in areas that where once a sea of Ijaws and Ibibio’s villages. The ethnic composition of these areas bears no semblance to what it was in the 17th and 18th century.

Damn! It seems this is the next frontier, now that all the common lies have been exposed and proven to be lies - manufacture lies and reference even the 9th century to back up non existent events!

Little wonder they say "when issues boil down to facts and logic some people begin to see ghosts".

Dede1:
Have you questioned your dilapidated consciousness why there are no coinages such as north-north, west-west and east-east in Nigeria?

This is the question of the decade. Answers are urgently required.

Seems to me that the best way to deal with liars is to insist on discussions based on truth and facts. Nothing works better than this as evidenced by the desperate measures of some of the liars on this thread who when faced with hard facts begin to create unnecessary diversions and some will even boldly introduce new lies while the old ones are still on the table.

Facts are sacred and they never change.

KnowAll:
Ojukwu  is  guilty of dragging the rather docile people of the delta into  an unjust  adventurism,  I am  sure he has had the fun he craves to the detriment of the poor  souls wasted in an igbo show of  unwanted and unwarranted bravado in the  face of clear and definate defeat  and humilation. Having exhausted his fathers funds and that of the  eastern region,  this gentleman if I can be excused  from  using such high accolade on a  butcher who saw the degredation and annihilation of another human being simply because they are  from a lesser tribe as a voyeurism worthy of exploration.

His stance during the 3 years war against Nigeria cannot be too far off from those of Joseph Goebel  of the famed SS who  explored the weakness and meekness of the jews even in  the face of defeat as a cause worthy of pursueing, sodomy, dehumanising treatment of the lesser igbos was rapant and rife so  was summarily excution, the earlier the sons and daughters of  these abuse tribes raise their voices the better it would be for Nigeria, invariably that woud bring a closure to this dark history of our past.

Such divide and rule strategy stopped working a long time ago, try something else.

Allow those you claimed are docile to make such comments as Ojukwu's second in command was Effiong and the last time I checked Effiong is not an Igbo name.

Even the name Biafra was suggested by an Ijaw man so stop displaying your ignorance based on ethnic bigotry and lack of knowledge on the subject matter.

Stick to facts or get off the thread, we are trying to correct the lies you and your type have been spreading for more than 40 years and I am glad that the correction and exposure of such lies are yielding fruits which explains the frustration you display here.

Is it impossible for you to embrace facts and truth?

In the world we live in today, I'm suprised that there should even be children that do not know that Ojukwu is among the top 10 cowards that ever lived.


I believe it is something that should be brought into our primary school curriculum so that children can read the exact manner in which that coward set up his own people for destruction, then fled the country.


Has anybody ever noticed how Ojukwu remained fat while the starvation was going on in Biafra? How would he stop the starvation when he was not feeling its pinch? A man like Mahatma Ghandhi, Nelson Mandela, or even Mallam Aminu Kano would have gone on hunger strike for as long as his people were being starved and it would have reflected on the outlook that they too were starving. However, in the case of that bloody coward Ojukwu, he was even getting fatter and his tummy extending out of fullness.


I have no problem with Ibos, but as long as most are not ready and willing to renounce that cowardly trickster and sadist known as Odimegwu Ojukwu, then they are not ready to take their rightful place among the citizens of the world.

Coming from someone that supported the massacre of innocent Igbos I am not surprised.

I am happy though that your wish that the Igbos renounce Ojukwu would forever be a wish that will never materialize because the Igbos do not need killers to tell them who their enemies are, they already know and even the last election in Anambra should be enough to tell you that Ojukwu is indeed loved by many and adored by well meaning Igbos.
