Ewu hausa, you and your illiterate almajiri brothers are the least of our problems now. Go and address the issue of Boko Haram in your desert encroached north before spewing trash here. Nama like you.
1. When did I ever call myself an Hausa man ? I have called myself Yoruba, Nupe, Igbo, bini, ijaw and kanuri Never HAUSA so please don't refer to me as hausa.

2. The problem in Nigeria has nothing to do with ethnicity rather individuals. Instead of insulting and blaming the yorubas today and hausa tomorrow I rather you give a solution to corruption in Nigeria

Never heard of the story you recount in your post above, but if true trust me i'll be the first to call for their heads. That's the difference between you and i: where there's any criminal behaviour going on, i'd call for the prosecution of the scum involved, not minding if they're from my ethnic group or not; whereas a complete dolt like you would rather bury your head in the sand and pretend nothing happened if the suspects happen to be from your ethnic stock. You disgust me to no end, and you can start any "thread within this thread" if that's what gives you a hard-on.

IT WAS THIS TYPE OF STATEMENTS THAT PROVOKED THE NGER DELTA PEOPLE BY SO DOING WE HAVE MEND WHICH ALMOST LEAD TO ANOTHER CIVIL WAR IF THE SOUTH EAST HAVE JOINED THE MEND GROUP TO CLAMOR FOR RESOURCE CONTROL IT WOULD HAVE GONE BEYOND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTROL BY SO DOING WAR MIGHT BROKE OUT .

I NEVER ADDED SS to it because they don't post bull crap like you and others in this forum

In fact the miniterial represnetative of Lagos is a SS man, and we have peri of Ajegunle, that shows the accommodiating nature of Lagos and Abuja

Now my question is

yorubas are cowards, How does that affect Nigeria or Igbos ?

Yorubas are betrayers, then don't make deals with them

Yorubas are tribalsitic then, don't go to Lagos or any Western state for commercial purposes or schooling since you know they are tribalsitic

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO link=topic=816557.msg9687924#msg9687924 date=1322951719]^^^Honestly, if God could grant me one request now it would be for the South East (including Igbo parts of Delta and Rivers States) together with Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom, break away from this cursed nation and form a loose confederation where each constituting part gets to keep 80% of its rescources/revenue, with just 20% going to a weak centre for Defence, Int'l Affairs, etc. A confederation where fairness, merit and the fear of God are the principle values/ethos on which the nation is built and every ethnic group has an equal 'vote' irrespective of population/size. When this nation is set up and running, then we can welcome new members on equal terms.

I've had it with this country Nigeria: a place where some bastards see public office at the centre solely as a means to violation and plunder the commonwealth. They've been in and around the corridors of power since the late 60's and what do they have to show for being in control of the all powerful Federal Government since then?: Absolutley fuc*k-all angry, unless of course you're counting their ever burgeoning foreign bank accounts, and opulent palaces they've built for themselves and their families while the wretched poor all around them fester in their disease-ridden slums.

You can see how they're now bitter and disgruntled that a 'bloody fisherman' apparently didn't read the script and now wants to put sand in their garri.

This Aluko guy has gone senile. He just waited for Ojukwu to die before he said all these crap. He betrayed a man that trusted him with all his life. A man that consulted him before he made any arrangement. This has shown Nigerians who the Yorubas are. I swear, they are the problem we are facing as a country. Forget the Igbos, the Hausas, the Ijaws, the Ogonis, the Idomas,the Fulanis etc, the day the Yorubas cease being Nigerians, the day this country would live in peace. So they were not comfortable with the way things were going pre 1966, but they lacked the balls to make the bold move. Hear them, 'the day the Igbos leave the confederation, the day we would leave'.

I want to ask you a question, which other tribe in Nigeria has lost between 30,000 -100,000 in a period of 6 months in the history of Nigeria?
You want us to move on, but you keep blaming the man who stood between your knives/guns and the rest of us.
You must really think we are foools frankly.
To be frank Never in my life have I thought of Igbos as fooools. In fact we have a saying for smart people called "Igboman sense" I am sure you know of it, right

I view them as one of the most intelligent Nigerians until I hit Nairaland with like of Nchara. Needless to say It has not changed my views of the wonderful Igbo people.

Yes not other ethnic group has lost 30,000 in 6 months, It was indeed a sad and worrisome event that took place in Nigeria that time. In fact I admire the igbos for getting up after all that, that is the true

Now my point here is that, you cannot keep blaming the north and west for every woe that happens in the country. It is not easy to forget I am not disputing that but blaming them only makes matter worse.

Ojukwu was more or less an opportunist that saw all that and thought to himself to grab power. I mean why declear baifra immediatly

You could as well have formed a militant group and protect your people insisted of declearly Baifra and taking the SS with him. Does that make sense.

No

History cannot vindicate Ojukwu at all for the lost of 3 million lifes from both Nigeria and Biafra. NO WAY nwanne

The circumstances back then was that Ojukwu was YOUNG, about 36 or so and wanted to be the president after the death of Ironsi.

I guess we can agree to disagree, Ojukwu is loved today not because of the civil war but desperation for an Icon.

If a neutral ask you, that what was Ojukwu achievement for Igbos, what would be your answer ?

that he protected Igbos from the pogroms in the north and ended up lossing 3 million ?

let me remind you that before the war, the political class and economic class was situated in such a way that the yorubas and SS (apart from ibibios) were marginalised in all things

from civil worker, oil, politics , military you name it. They were margianlsised that did not mean they should declear secession.

So i don't still get this Ojukwu a hero thing. Maybe I would never get,because I have tried to put myself in your shoes and and don't still see the point.

Maybe you can explain to me more.

If there are persons wasting lives in Nigeria it is your likes and the likes of your people that hide behind religious hatred, ignorant street boy groups, political groups to kill and maim millions of Nigerians monthly if not weekly. Such are the shameful ones that dwell in our country and are daily making us laughing stock before the world and you have the foolish audacity to point fingers at Ojukwu. How dare freaking silly you?? How long should we remain acting decent decent that fools like all of you will be taking us for a ride, I can't remember ever talking to any person here in NL like this but right now I am fed up with what you guys are doing and with people like you that knows the wrong your people are doing and laughing and making fun of it all when it is humans being killed and decimated slowly. What other type of genocide are we still waiting for from you guys? Silly!
I guess you don't know my position.

Ok I would make it clear,

The killing of any Nigerian be it igbo or yoruba is very bad and I DO NOT SUPPORT it in any form or way.

Why do you think I would support any killing ?

Ojukwu just took advantage of the situation in my own opinion by saying genocide which never occured. Ok do your maths, killing in the north

30,000 = war 3 million only for the cause to be lost again

It is wrong.

Trying to be sensitive here

I hope the Igbo nation can forgive Nigerians and let us move on with Nigeria. I know majority of Igbos have moved on but some like Ezeuche (Bigot) still hold resentment for other Nigerian. Hope he can see reason.

In fact here is a man named Emeka discussing it to people like you

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-816676.0.html

No one was perfect, from Bello, Zik , Awo etc you name it, NO ONE WAS AND IS perfect. People make mistakes due to Naivety, Lack of understanding of the suituation, Immaturity, etc

but Ojukwu on the other hand took it to the next level. I am not here to change your mind on YOUR hero but I would like you to at least know the YOUR hero's mind set, his way of thinking and how he other non-probaifran viewed him

Then put yourself in there shoes and look at it from their individual point of views. When you do that, then you MIGHT have a different prospective.

Kay1kay1:
And it repeated itself in coming years under varying guises. Are we truly one nation? Surely our foundation needs restructuring.
The violence in the North was caused in sabon gari by Igbo traders back then. They were gloating on how they rule the country etc. This sparked up sentiment against them used by extremist they were easy targets.

I am not justifing any killing but I just though I should let you know. The coup DID NOT CAUSE THE KILLING

after the coup, the whole country was quite as it was seen as a military affire regardless of the ethnicity.

Take a look at globacom, dangote, danjuma groups, coscharis, etc All these are indigenous companies nd have employed thousands of young graduates, I bet the same could be done to other indigenous companies.

Okay, I  didn't think I was gonna come back to this, but I might as well  do so! Okay, at the time of the civil war, the Nigerian army really wasn't anything to write home about. The 2 major reasons tĦey seemed to have gotten the upper hand was because tĦey were receiving sophisticated weapons from abroad to help them fight the easterners, and more importantly, the FOOD SUPPLY TO THE EAST WAS CUT OFF. Even at that, the igbos manufactured their own weapons and ammunitions at that time. Moreover, u don't expect hungry men to  do wonders!

So, point of correction, the Nigerian army had lots of advantages, which if given to the easterners would have resulted in a different story. Nothing to do with the joke of the Nigerian army.
finally I have waited for you to display ur lack of knowledge

1. Food sent to baifra from Lagos was used by Ojukwu to feed his army insisted of the people of which Ojukwu.

2. Yes Nigeria army had a lot of advantage but Ojukwu could still have won if he was not arrogant.

@ Alj_ If you go through my LAST post, I told you that I do not see Ojukwu as a HERO & I repeat, any SELFLESS & VISIONARY leader would have seen the HANDWRITING on the wall, PERIOD. You're on track. However, it will be UNFAIR, after all that you've read & you can only see Ojukwu, as someone that wanted POWER. A lot of his actions were QUESTIONABLE. He made MISTAKES. Then, look @ this, When Ironsi was killed, going by the military HIERARCHY, Brigadier A. O. Ogundipe, was supposed to take-over, he was sidelined & Ojukwu asked WHY? In my opinion, if all the ACTORS were selfless, both THE FED & BIAFRA folks, the WAR could have been avoided.

Personally, all I can say about Nigeria's FAILURE is that the Pre- independent politicians were in HURRY to ENRICH THEMSELVES. As the EDUCATED few, they wanted to take ADVANTAGE OF THE LESS EDUCATED MAJORITY, but used PATRIOTISM as a tool to force the Brits out. The Brits, being who they are, set the LANDMINES, unfortunately, SELFISHNESS did not allow the so-called FOUNDING FATHERS to SEE or better still, CLEAR THE LANDMINES before HUSTLING for INDEPENDENCE.

If they were not SELFISH. Or exercise patience, they would have seen their OBVIOUS DIFFERENCES, consequently, each region will go its separate ways PEACEFULLY. Yes, you never can tell. What we have today was in existence pre & post INDEPENDENCE. And someone wanted to TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING, UNFORTUNATELY HE WAS BETRAYED, NZEOGWU WAS BETRAYED. RIP, THE BRAVEST OF THEM ALL. FYI, CHUKWUMA KADUNA NZEOGWU, WILL FOREVER BE MY HERO. UNLESS ANOTHER SELFLESS, BRAVE MAN will come & FINISH WHAT HE STARTED. WHAT THE ARAB YOUTHS ARE DOING LATELY, WAS ALL THAT HE WANTED. AS HE FAILED, NIGERIA FAILED WITH HIM.
You see, Ojukwu was a funny character. It all depends on how you look at him

Looking at him from your lens, You might argue that Ojukwu was a Brave soilder that wanted to correct some wrongs according to common sense right !

Again looking at it from another point of view, you would perceive a totally different charcater.

Maybe he fought for a genuine cause, maybe not. We can never tell, but the did is done

What I am trying to say is that all in all, we can move forward, it remains like of OBJ, ciroma, to go.

@ Alj, I have read so many books about Nigeria, PRE & POST INDEPENDENCE. I HAVE NEVER CONSIDERED Ojukwu to be a HERO, long before he died & I have engaged like minds on the same subject. A selfless & visionary man would have seen the handwriting on the wall. That is all I have to say. He made MISTAKES,SURE. However, we should not lose sight of his BACKGROUND, ANTECEDENTS & the PREVAILING CIRCUMSTANCE then. I knew how people in SOUTHERN Nigeria felt when NYSC members are been massacred in the NORTHERN part of Nigeria few months ago cos of elections. We can use that to gauge how the IBOS felt. Thereafter, BOKO-HARAM, have been bombing everywhere, WHAT IS THE ANTHEM ON NL, & out there in the public before the death of Ojukwu? DIVIDE THIS COUNTRY, THIS NORTHERNERS HAVE TO GO THEIR OWN, blah, blah, blah. why the clamor for DISINTEGRATION ON EVERY SOUTHERNERhuh JUXTAPOSE & ANALYSE them all.

It is BAD & UNFAIR to be playing the ethnic card. And the foundation was perfectly laid. Consequently, whoever wants to ruin Nigeria, don't need to lose sleep, just invoke the DOCTRINE of RELIGION & TRIBALISM.

Thank you for discussing the issue intelligently. I can't stand those STREET GANGS that have nothing to say other than to call names. Or YORUBA this, IBO that. They failed to realize that the same TRIBALISM played a role in them nor having the BASIC THINGS OF LIFE. They better go get a life!
thank you. Not to lie to you, I am someone that studies people and there sort of ideology based on there views.


I am an awoist and I strongly believe in his idealogy and policies this you may not subscribe to.

If awoism is employed in Nigeria TODAY as we speak, the problem plaguing this country would be reduced by more than 90%.

Awolowo never believe in this igbo yoruba crap but wanted people in there respective region to do their thing. It is a shame that people don't see this.

Ojukwu on the other hand saw nothing to be honest. Ok I don't want to make you angry or disappoint you but Ojukwu was more or less a naive solider that wanted power.

Yes he protected his people against the so called pogram but at what cost 2 million lives while he remained alive. Come on. that was not go enough only for him to want to contest as the president few years down the line. Haba who does that.

I read on Okpara a bit and he seems to be more befitted than Ojukwu in all ramifications. Even Orji Kalu. Ojukwu even created more enemies than friends based on his views.

I have read loads of books, watch Interviews on Ojukwu, Awolowo, Nnamdi, Effiong. you name it. I have seen it all.

I know this people's views based on those interviews and I can see where they were coming from. What I could get was that Ojukwu just wanted power and he wanted it at all cost. He over estimated his ablity and the ability of his people who look on to him. He ignored his generals advice and became more or less a dicator in his approach which actual SHOWS us what he was fighting for.

I am sorry again but if you do not mind, I would like to compare him to Saro wiwa.

Saro wiwa did not fight a war but his movement is still well recognised and lastly HE DIED FOR WHAT HE BELIEVED IN.

Awo was no tribalist, he was a true believer in federalism.

Most Niger Delta leaders went to Awo whenever they had a problem.

The statement that Nigeria is[b] a Geographical expression is not an anti-Nigerian statement, it is just a recognition that the centre needs to be loose and all peoples should have some degree of autonomy.[/b]
Thank you my Ijaw brother.

That is what I saw in awolowo as well. Only someone with low IQ would think he was a bigot.

A man that even the so call igbo haters benefited from his policies. I weep for ingrates

Even me that is a south south Igbo feels concerned for Adekunle, yet D.K or whatever idiotic name you call here does not show concerns for him. A military supremo like Adekunle has developed pressure ulcers in a nursing home, no one cares. His body  and room in nursing home stinks yet no concern. For the past 3 years, his wardrobe remains the same, yet no comment. Even his toenails has grown taller than D.K yet no one cares. Why are Yorubas from Adekunle's region so heartless. Yet the only thing that interests them is the death of Ojukwu-an Oxford graduate born with silver spoon.
LOL cheesy o boy

I told you why Ojukwu would be insulted on Nairaland, You insulted Awolowo since last year and people keep shut only for Ojukwu to go as well and you expect those that have been swallowing the insult not to post back ?

As I said, all that is happening now is the talk back time, it would fade away like everyother. Leave DK to me.
