Katsumoto: You got tired of posting as Ngodigha, Mr Uweh?

I wasn't born during the war. In any case, read the excerpt below for more information.

it is not the Igbos or Ojukwus fault but the Yaribas and Housa/fulani. They made us like this

na wa o, this PointB aka Ezeuche is too unrefined

Joanna Sedley: i can only believe that these two groups hate each others when they start killing corp members sent to their region; so you people should continue yarning and spewing poisonious trash until one young disoriented assshole takes matters into his/her ungodly hands OR let start sowing seeds of harmony.

so all the yorubas and other nigerians killed and eaten in abia, Ebonyi and co is not yet an indication ?

achebe is Igbo so dont expect anything better

PStylish: The presidency has made the right decision

Any attempt to reclaim Bakassi will be fiercely and unanimously resisted by the UN Security Council.

I'm sure you all know what that means.

Nigeria unlike the defunct Biafra republic will not start a war it has no chance of winning.

Gbammmmmm

CyberG: Come see ibos celebrating the very THING Chief Awolowo told the whole world and fought for before independence! The backstabber and saboteur ibo man Zik went behind Awolowo to make alliance with Ahmadu Bello calculating that by cheating Chief Awolowo, the iboz will be the beneficiaries after independence. The iboz new the Hausas were less educated and less interested in all these ambitious things they talked about: running railways systems, airport, ports, government parastatals, education, etc and they took advantage until the tides turned and then, they pretentiously went to kill the leaders of the Hausas. They story continues but I will do that on another thread.

The only reason ibos are celebrating here is because Atiku, clearly being disingenuous here, is massaging the empty ibo ego. And see, you folks are quoting him, bolding the statements like it is some new revelation. Meanwhile, you can never smell the position Atiku knows he will use you to obtain for himself and foster the same structure that encourages and preserves corruption in Nigeria. iboz never learn!

Chimanet: cos an average yoruba that is searching for greener pastures cant hussle enuf money for his house rent in the east. anyway our neigbour in a onitsha is a yoruba man

Just as the british search for greener pasture in Nigeria. My guy use your brains

sbeezy8: i DONT KNOW any non igbos living in the Southeast. scratches head even my igbo family dont live in the Southeast maybe like a few, even my efik people stay in calabar. Im just making an observation.

Majority of people dont see igboland as attractive, even igbos born outside igboland dont want to live their- is it my fault? There are more yorubas and hausas in Ghana than there is in igboland.

sorry if that angers you

but its the truth.

Solozzo: Not sure of the details, but there was clear indication of genocide against the Igbo tribe, even before the war broke out and this was the driving force for the declaration of the Biafra nation. Clearly any senior govt minister like awolowo may have given some genocidal advice,. Awo was not a saint. The family of awo should feel disappointed in their patriarch and apologise on his behalf.

Achebe only weaved history into his writings, the truth we all knew.

You see that's the problem. No YORUBA would apologise to the Igbos. Forget it, it is a dream

A yoruba man reality is different from the rubbish you people write here. Even if they apologise for Ojukwu's mistake, would you forgive ?

bashr8: whenever your caught lying you start preaching one nigeria, chameleon smh

Am no longer preaching one Nigeria CUZ YOU ALL DON'T WANT ONE NIGERIA. Imagine an old man like achebe writing things that are ethnocentric and shows hateful tribalism.

But if you want a split at least lets settle the issues at hand now first.

Chimanet: So for how long do u want to continue hiding these atrocities in house? provided one party is not to hapi with atrocities commited in its region, believe me we r not going to forge ahead

I think you are new thus don't my position. First of all Achebe wrote a lie but regardless I could careless. We are working on it my brother.

Chimanet: bros but una say na 1 nigeria. if u dont go to others pple regions hw will we achieve our 1 nigeria goal

gbammmmm that's the spirit

So then you have to agree that Achebe is a bit off for trying to compromise the integrity of this one country

Chimanet: Abi una wan ban us from coming to lagos to turn sum of ur brothers our houseboys? lollll, i love 1 nigeria, is fun

LMAO !!!!!!

bashr8: your a confused little boy , your the only one that dont know that biafran and international organisations where bringing in supplies in the middle of the night ,flying very low to avoid radar and dropping the supplies from the sky from where they are picked up and distributed. ignorance is a disease . biafra and russia supplied heavy arms and tanks to nigeria [/b]while [b]egypt took care of the airfoce which where responsible for bombing farms, redcross, hospitals, churches , its al on the internet slowpoke, it is known that britain supplied more weapons to nigeria than what what used during world war 2 , am fed up with your stupidity its no longer funny.

SMH I mean how can I take this man serious

Chimanet: we build better houses than u guys both in our land and ur landon the average, doesnt that tells y sumtin? we go 2 lagos and Kano with leader bag and come back to anambara and imo with ghana most go of hard end money

Is that all ? Surly you have some more so tell us

The ability for your region to be muliti-ethnic shows the mind set and progress of your people.

There is not advance country, region, place, community and town in the world that is not muliti-ethnic and plans to progress.

Yes you build better houses, have better cars etc but can you call those places your place ? The answer is NO if your are truthful to yourself.

Houses would fade away so would cars but what legacy have you left for your unborn generations ? HATE, DISTRUST OTHERS ETC Just as your fathers have impacted into you all. I mean see the rubbish some of you are typing ?

alj harem: LOL My brother I never lie. I stick with facts

The weapons Nigerian soldiers used to kill Biafrans was sold them them by Nzeribe and Igbo man that killed 2 million Igbos which is worse ?

Ojukwu the unsung general left your forefathers to die in the middle of a war without any word from him. amazing that is an Igbo man hero chai !

Food from the french and british aid was used by this same ojukwu to smuggle weapons and feed his soldiers rather than civilains. Yet he kept lying to ur forefethers that he was winning Igbo man smh

I can keep going if you want o !

Bashr3 I dey wait

haba fight don finish Truly You and your achebes are bunch of funny people

Chimanet: y r u guys diverting the matter, please answer me how yorubas are making it more than ibos in nigeria, from lagos to kano, abuja, ph, onitsha,

you tell us

bashr8: did achebe lie or not ? confused chameleon

What do you think ? Of course you know the answer. I presume you are not one of the Ignorant silly Igbos here on nairaland eg

Go read your history and facts. We have argued this over and over and over. We are tired of telling you block heads the same things again.

Whats are the facts on ground

1. Achebe is a well respected prof but his recent blunder his not only made him look like a lair, he has also lost his credibility but what does he care he would die soon anyway cause of old age ( Not to sound rude)

2. Yes he lied cause Awolowo also cared for Igbo people and not yorubas alone as he pointed out.

3. Awolowo is not a military man but a civilian so their is not way on earth he did a blockade that is propaganda by your elders.

4. The starvation of baifrans was caused by Ojukwu himself because the food meant for women and children, Ojukwu decided to smuggle weapons with it and feed the soldiers rather than the people intended for.

When a lie goes on for too long it because the truth. That is the issue with you all

If you an adult cannot calm down and read and understand using your imagination (cuz it is different to read and another case to picture what you are reading) to picture this demographics of the war, then there is no point.

What I see and I bet everyother Nigerian sees are just bunch bitter youngers trying to fight the war their forefathers started.

In my culture and Indeed all the cultures of the world, from Africa to Europe to Asia, When a warlord leads his people to a war and they do not win, They make sure they die on the battlefield or commit suicide because of the shame.

Igbos and Ojukwu on the other hand ran away and spends government money till the day he passed on. What a hero

I would give you examples.

1. During the Napoleon war in England vs France, the Soldiers/generals stood their to the very last person was killed, They did not run back neither they they give up, the very last person stood his ground. He was not a coward

2. In the Yoruba culture, the Arono kakafo would rather die or commit suicide instead of coming back home. The Oba would rather allow himself to be killed than his people as the case of Sango.

3. In the Benin culture, the Oba was arrested by the british and could have easly ran to Ile ife or Ekiti but He stood his ground.

4. The Japanese Samuria were known to commit suicide once they loss a battle. It is seen as dishonour.

5. Hitler rather commit suicide than go back to Germany.

6. Samson in your Bibles rather commited suicide but killed thousands of others with him instead of facing ridicule.

7. Rahib of the Borno empire rather died than allow his people to fall to the french in 1900.

Chimanet: please can a some1 tell me how yorubas are progressing more than igbos in current nigeria?

You tell us how the Igbo man progress more than the Yorubas or hausas

[quote author=Real-Mccoy]The way Kudirat Abiola's driver betrayed her, the way Yoruba Oba's betrayed Diya after they watched his coup Video knowing truly well it was all a set up, the way they betrayed MKO before he drank the death tea, the way they betrayed Ribadu, the way Gbenga daniel betrayed OBJ, the way they betrayed their new found hero called Awo during the NCNC mayhem....Stick to the topic and stop with the lies[/quote]LOL My brother I never lie. I stick with facts

The weapons Nigerian soldiers used to kill Biafrans was sold them them by Nzeribe and Igbo man that killed 2 million Igbos which is worse ?

Ojukwu the unsung general left your forefathers to die in the middle of a war without any word from him. amazing that is an Igbo man hero chai !

Food from the french and british aid was used by this same ojukwu to smuggle weapons and feed his soldiers rather than civilains. Yet he kept lying to ur forefethers that he was winning Igbo man smh

I can keep going if you want o !

delvinmaya: As always, Nigerians will never cease to amaze me with their egocentric mindset. Most people here did not even witness the war, so why all these hate? You peoples dissing on Awolowo should get a life and stop blaming him for your apparent woes in Life. Lemme address those who are blaming him for the death of over two million lives, i just read in the review of this very book causing wahala that the lives lost were one million, though am not saying its right,but get your facts right,secondly, why bother fighting a war when you know you are not ready for it. The guys who flew the plane over Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not tried for war crimes, were they? And seriously, when will people forgo all this tribalistic tendencies? It pisses me off to even read things like what i have read here, annoying indeed. Achebe wrote, yes he did, and so what? he wrote bout a war that has seen most of the protagonists and antagonists dead, so bleeping what? Why kill yourself? Except of course you see it as a vindication on your part, thats when it shows you are daft. Japan, China, Germany have moved on to become great nations, siddon day look day cry over something dat happened before you were born. Silliness really, and then you play the blame game, keep blaming the yorubas oooo, while we continue progressing, while you keep crying

+ 100000 You understand

thank you mimiko. Let them know

Chimanet: hw i wish i can delete these guy mouth like two 2 ended sword from nairaland. today am igbo, 2mrow hausa, later itshekiri, now yoruba. guy u no dey shame?

lol

Igbos are known betrayers so need I say more, any yoruba arguing with these bunch of people is wasting his time. Just laugh at their stu.pidity and move on cuz they are the most selfish and self centred beings on earth

Igbos are known betrayers so need I say more, any yoruba arguing with these bunch of people is wasting his time. Just laugh at their stu.pidity and move on cuz they are the most selfish and self centred beings on earth.

van bonattel: HA HA HA HA ,
The realities today still show yorubas goofed badly, and are the real losers of this war, when they have their leaders systematically wiped out by same housas you have been serving. Keep losing.

Chai !!!! another bitter person una try wellu wellu

mimifonwon: you are an ode, and i feel sorry for your generation and your mom for uttering such rubbish. Go back and check and make sure u are born of an igbo woman, cuz you dont sound like one. For you were, you will stand on the truth no matter your bias or your paternal identity. If you must know, after the war, the igbos were part of naija again and should have gotten their properties back fair and square, but we know what awolowo did, and then claimed ignorance of the whole confistication later, so lets leave politics alone and face the truth. Awolowo did good for his tribe, but stole and wronged the easterners, as to maintain economic power in the west. It was ethnocentric-ally driven so my dear brother of equal mixture face the truth and swallow it, like utabazi its ever bitter, and unfortunately has no sweet after taste like ewuro( olugbu).

see woman self mo ree e re gbe o( thats Ijebu for you) bitterness

Dahbutter: Cry baby ibos. Your ogas lacked intelligence and war strategies and a more intelligent side whopped their @ss using common sense in a war.
I wonder, if situations were turned around if the ibos would have sent or allowed food reach their own enemies in a war they were desperate to win knowing the concieted, dubious, crafty, dishonest selfish crooks they really are. Now because modern trends have coined out the word "war crimes" 4uking asswipes are screaming injustice!

I wonder if the whimps would have given back properties to their enemies after the war or aid them to prosper in their own land after like d yorobbers did.

The first stoopid fact about the barggers is they don't really know their real enemy and decided to loose their frustration on the ones who were most sympathetic to their plight. Dumb pricks
My mum is ibo, but [size=28pt]I must admit here on NL they come around as a dumb lot with a misplaced focus screaming foul play because they didn't have the advantage in a war[/size] due to their brainless commanders.

Now go back and prepare 4 another war if u want, use your brain this time but remember as the chinese say all is fair in war!

I really thing many people on nairaland dont read before commenting very shocking at the responses you see
