ROSSIKE:
Can someone remind me once again why this man went to war with no real army or weapons?

Why did he expect to win against the Nigerian military without modern fighting equipment?

The result?

2 million lives destroyed.

Some 'hero'.

Let's still pray for him

I hope ojukwu gets better

ikennahill:
are u surprize  that some people want ojukwu dead, the man have made history and is an icon in the life of every igbo man

If not for that war there will not be ibos  in this part of the world,
do you know what it is to face the nigerian army ,with brithish and other western army for 30month,
do you know what kwashiokor is

do u know what it means to loose everything and be  given 20pounds

do you know what lead to the creation of state universities ,it was marginalization that lead Jim nwobodo to start the first state university in africa, ASUTECH

DO YOU KNOW WHY PRELIM STARTED, JAMB WAS FRUSTRATING IBOS  AND QUOTA SYSTEM WAS USED AGANIST IBOS,

THIS MAN OJUKWU IS A TYPICAL IBO MAN, IBOS ARE NOT COWARDS LIKE THE YORUBAS
IBOS ARE HOLDING NIGERIA ,AND ANYDAY THEY LEAVE ,EVEN IF THEY DONT HAVE ANYTHING ,THEY WILL TURN THEIR COUNTRY TO HEAVEN,GO TO OSHA, NNEWI,ETC

BIAFRA HAD THE BEST NAVY,ASK PEOPLE THAT FOUGHT THE WAR,

YORUBAS DID NOT SEE ANY WAR AND THEY MAKE NOISE,DO U KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN ASABA DURING THE WAR,LET THEM HEAR JUST SHELLING A TYPICAL YORUBA MAN WILL poo FOR HIS PANT

APART FROM WOLE SOYINKA,FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI ,GANI ,THERE ARE NO OTHER YORUBA MAN THAT CAN STAND ,OTHERS ARE NOISE MAKERS,LIKE BABATOPE,ETC .i SERVED AMONG THEM AND I KNOW THAT A YORUBA MAN HIDES HIS COWARDICE IN FUNNY WAYS WHICH ENGLISH CALL CUNNY,THEY WILL START RIOT IN SCHOOL AND RUN AWAY WHEN RIOT START,THEY WILL STILL GO TO THE SCHOOL AUTHORITIES TO REVEAL THOSE BEHIND THE RIOT,THAT IS YORUBA MAN FOR YOU

EVEN IF OJUKWU DIE TODAY,THE MAN DON TRY,AS PER THE GUY WEY DEY HAPPY SAY SOMEBODY IS SICK,REMEMBER YOU LIFE IS STILL IN GOD HAND AND ONE DAY HE WILL TAKE IT.

and how much were people earning at that time

I dont understand what my fellow men are talking about I came from the same region with this man called Ojukwu my own father lost all his brother in so called nasty biafra nonsense fighting as biafra soldier and till today all Iam told is they are fighting to defend Ibo interest and the rubbish Aburi accord please can this man Ojukwu name one of his family that died during this biafra of a thing war? And my fellow men want me to see him as hero after nearly my father entire family nearly gone erased for just selfish reason and unjust fighting? Today he became the father of tribalism and hatred we Ibo has towards other tribes in the country today and he is still a hero? For me no and no he was never my father and he will not be m father because I dont bear Ojukwu I know my father surname so let anyone who want to call him their father go ahead I care not he knows his own kids for sure. I do sincerely wish him well and wish him quick recovery [b]BUT i'm never his fan or follower for any reason I dont care what he stand for please no offence pls it is my own view and I stand by it. No offense plsss because truth offend my people a lot . God bless.

EVERY FAMILY WAS AFFECTED IN DAT WAR

I LOST 3 UNCLES 2 DAT WAR COS DEY THREW BOMB IN THR CAMP
WE AL HAV OUR STORIES. EVERY ONE OF US,
LETS STOP BLAMIN D MAN HE DID WAT HE THOT WAS BEST 4 D IGBO CLAN,

shattp dia

u know nothing about being a leader

when your people are dying you first of all negotiate till there is absolute no, then you fight to defend your people not to invade other lands

because of silly people like you, we igbos are still like this in nigeria

mumu

now, your family members that die are not as cowardice as ojukwu the "general"

a general that ran away so that we can all die

look around you,,,, a lot of igbo are denying there igbo heritage

go to lagos see how igbo speak yoruba and do not know anything about igbo

go to kano and see for yourself

from ika,,,,,,,to ikwerri,,,,,etc are denying igbo because of the blind way we think

""my brother ,,,,my brother,,,first then others last""""

redsun:
Harem or whatever u call urself,Ojukwu is a fearless visionary who stood against d injustices that  lingers on in naija 2day.that still need to be fought against but for gutless sissies like u who will rather take kicks in d behind than fight for justice.

what bloody justice,,,,,,,, justice for what

are our igbo leaders not part of the injustice

or kalu uzo is he not part of the injustice

you do not know what you are talking about
fearless visionary that is a very silly statement you made there

if he was fearless,[size=15pt]he should have die with his people during the war not run away[/size]

fearless indeed,   the people who are fearless are the biafran soldiers, my family members and others that stood there ground and did not run away with biafran pounds to ivory coast,,,, do you all think we are as silly as majority of u people.

ojukwu is part and parcel of the injustice that is happen in nigeria today,,,,,,,,, if ojukwu loved us, he would have put us in the best position in the country not try to secede.

the northerners were killing us what are my igbo brothers talking about,,,

have there not been yorubas killed in the north

have there not been northerners killed in masses in the yorubaland,,,, so if the northerners are killing us, the best thing for us to to secede, and invade edo people who have similar culture with us, until ojukwu broke there trust

ojukwu invaded other peoples land and our soldiers were killed by our former allies

i am really getting emotional here

chelseabmw:

why are you surprise,,,, that is the sad reality on ground  

when i try to talk to my igbo brother they just insult me without knowing how sad people are when they praise a mad man

yes a mad man

his children are in UK,,,,,,after the war he ran to ivory coast,,,,, he is rich etc

and here are we igbos ,, we are stigmatised in the north,,,,,we run to yorubas for shelther,,,,even ijaws now disown us

itsekiri, edo etc say they are part of yoruba people

kanuri, igala etc say they are northerners

who wants to relate with us igbos no one

even ijaws who are some times called inyamrai have there own identity


and yes i do not speak igbo because i left anambra at age 9 so my igbo language was left there  

ibo, is ibo

whether igbo, egbo etc

ibo is ibo

RichyBlacK:
Stop typing like a candy-deprived toddler and learn to spell. Put that education to some use.

i think u are very dumb,,,,, if we spell ibo correctly, it is ibo not igbo

so what are u talking about

is it your teacher that tought u to spell ibo as igbo or what

i think the website is great, this is the way we should promote igbo culture.

thank op

Ochi_Agha:
I agree with much that was wrote in this article. However, I wish the author properly spelled Igbo instead of "Ibo." I still take that as a high level of disrespect, since as an West African, he should be able to pronounce the "gb" sound.

what is the difference in ibo and igbo

awusa and hausa thay are the same thing

why do u like complicating things

do you know that after reading ur post, i started crying

my grand mother lost 2 of her brother(1 her twin brother, which is describe to be very close to her)

she cried almost all the night and rain curses on ojukwu, my grand mother is igbo and her brother were killed by the biafran army just because they did not join the army.


and now someone wants me to make ojukwu an hero,,,,,,tufiakua

when his counterpart Awolowo was doing free health and education for his people, ojukwu was in ivory coast enjoying the wealth of either biafra or his father.

now coming to this forum, someone telling me that ojukwu stood up to the nigerian army when he could have negotiated with awolowo or with nigeria

bleep ojukwu,,,,,i say it again bleep ojukwu,,,,,,,i had to run to the west for western education under the yoruba leader when the east was licking the wounds that ojukwu caused/ the north were not into education then

now i am about 50 years and i have told my children about ojukwu,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yes i have

seanet02:
Are you blind? somebody says he wants to die on Jan 13 and you are still praying for his recovery!!! May be he is the one feeding everyone in the east!!

well said seanet02

in igboland, if someone wishes death for himself, we let him die alone

i look at my brothers the way they pray ojukwu leaves long but even him wants to die


sometimes my igbo brothers act very silly at times

if a man wants to die because of guilt or whatever, let him die.

come chop:
The guy behind her look like Aboki way don open eyes for the club market look am well hes waiting ooo

what is the meaning of that

axglide:
painful as this development seems, i wish the IKEMBA well.

do not worry brother, ikemba will be well,,,,,fear not oh man of little faith

donkarly:
ONYE OHI! WHO SEND YOU,YOU NO NO YOUR PEOPLE AGAIN ABI?COME,ANAMBRA N ENUGU ARE NOT AREWA LAND,AND WHICH GOD ARE YOU REFERRING TO,IS IT ALLAH THE SUN god OR THE ALMIGHTY GOD?

i have family igbo members in anambra, this people are blood related to me and i am just tell u what we want

jason123:
this Alh harem is a joker!!!

and what is funny

Toaskarity:
what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as i said earlier some of us do not want biafra

Ochi_Agha:
alj harem, you do know Ojukwu hails from Anambra?  And the good Igbo people of Anambra and Enugu would definitely take offense to what you have said. Please do not speak on issues that do not concern you. Onlytruth, Udezue and some other Igbo posters who post in the Politics Section are people who hail from Anambra as well. I wonder what they would have to say with the idiotic statement you just posted?

sorry my brother, pls do not be angry at me

i know ojukwu is from anambra,,,,,, i know that the old biafra nation capital was enugu

i think it has to do with different individual have different wants and need

may be i can not speak for the whole of anambra people, but my family there , i can speak for them

and i know they do not want biafra again
pls be polite and do not insult

Ochi_Agha:
That is very true. Nigerians are suffering, but they couldn't allow the Igbo to leave. As the saying goes, "misery loves company." The East is the only region that has tasted freedom. And that sweet taste still lingers in the mind of many. When we had our own nation. The land of the rising sun.

sorry but can you cut my people of anambra and even part of enugu off of this biafra, thank

God bless you and your family if you cut us away from biafra. politely

mukina2:
Jason
your original name was unbanned yesterday, you have stopped the tribal war.

Al harem
stop playing devils advocate maybe just maybe your first username would be unbanned.

ok madam

pls just watch alj harem1 closely

blacksta:
As far as i am aware we already have scavangers like Vocal slender who recycle waste - hence this initiative is not new in Nigeria but it is welcome development because of its scale.

you are right, but then they can be employed by the state to do the job also

MRbrownJAY:
their age makes NO DIFFERENCE, it's their state of mind that is the problem.
Africa may be 25yrs behind but all these guys are shoulder to shoulder with the west when it comes to wealthy individuals.

age make a lot of difference, how would fresh minds come and implement modern thing, better ideals etc

most of this old men are still in the 70's

mukina2:
If anyone goes and posts on any old thread and wakes up trouble they will be banned. haba.

mukina2, now that the political section is back to it's senses and ileke-idi is opened

when will alj harem be unban when i did not post anything tribal

MzGreat:
whats so nice abt his comment

he is expressing his views and not been afraid of what people say  

@ op

this is what they call vanity my brother

what are we all fighting for , vanity

^^^^

blazay,,nice one

EzeUche0:
Work is work.

U should be happy we Igbos are kind to accept all workers.

If you have a body, u can be worked.

If dey have no arm, dey can sell pure wata on dey head.

ezeuche so if YOU have no hands can u still sell pure water

pls delete or move this thread as there is nothing political about it

Labor is labor. You beg u starve in the East.

what work i ask,,,,what work

EzeUche0:
Almajiri do not give Igboland problem.
