It actually happened. My mother told me and she would not lie just to discredit anyone. she is not tribal. She barely escaped. Even, ojukwu cannot refute the claim.

Am not arguing here that your mother lied to you. My case is that if an Igbo whose parents were at the warfields had narrated his account of what was passed on to him, it would have been easily dismissed as''story my mama told me''.
If someone can believe your account here, what stops the same person from believing what was passed unto them by their parents who actually fought in those battles.

Alhaji, I like your sense of humour

You de best!

Spot on.
Yet your hero has not been able to aswer my questions.  May be he is online with Nowa for answers. I will continue to wait.

Katsumoto:
Are you like 5? Keep trying to be naive. Where did you read that Nowa said his parents told him?

As a seven year old, my family and I were awakened in the early hours of January 15, 1966, by our neighbor on Milverton Road (a British police officer) to tell us about the first coup. During the civil war I was the victim of a number of Biafran air-raids (which I never forgot)."

Insulting me will not help your case. You believe Nova's account is accurate yet you find it difficult to believe the account of a forumite who has see real battles. So what makes you feel that his account is factual?.

Hurray, Brani signs a contract extension.

dayokanu:
So you want us to believe Biafra didnt drop any bomb on lagos when every story abut the Biafra war confirmed it.

Didnt Akhanetan post a picture of a building bombed in Lagos during the war?

OUCCCCHHHHHH Bad Boy Bad boy

Do not come to his aid. Katsumoto strongly believes that Biafran Military bombed Lagos, yet he can not come up with photographs of buildings bombed or the casualties affected. Because you guys see him as your hero has turned blind eyes to his fallacies. He is a human being, just admit that he has erred.
The same Katsumoto believes the account Nowa's parents handed to Nowa yet finds it difficult to believe the account of forumites whose parents were involved in the actual war even the account of a former Biafran soldier who is a forumite.
What is the difference between what my father recorded during his days at the warfield and handed to me compared to what Nowa's parents handed to Nowa?.
Anyway, am still expecting his photographs of bombed areas in Lagos as well as human casualties or forever quit spreading falsehood in this site.

Katsumoto:
So what you are saying is that civilians in the East are more credible witnesses than witnesses in the West who were victims to the bombs dropped in the West? How will Eziachi,who is running from Adekunle, (I am sorry, I couldn't resist that) know whether Okujwu and his swedish pilots are dropping bombs in Lagos? Besides, Nowa's account is on the net, it isn't third person information.

So you believe in his cock and bull story. How do you know he has not lied?. You also believed what his parents told him yet you do not believe what another forumite's parents told him.
The same way Nowa's parents narrated their own story to him is the same way Igbo parents have narrated the story to their children.
On top of that, am still expecting you and Nowa to publish photographs of casualties of Biafran bombing as well as damages caused by Biafran bombs in Lagos.

Katsumoto:
I have often told you that being older does not necessarily mean you are more knowledgeable than others. I presented information from a website to prove that Biafra dropped bombs on Lagos. Several other posters (T9ksy, Jason123) also attested to bombs being dropped; yet in your typical 'I was a soldier in the war' attitude you dismissed it because the federal side was not singing about it to the international community. Read below for another account. Whether you refuse to accept it or not, both sides killed civilians but the number was higher with the Biafrans because the Federal side was the bigger and stronger one. If Biafra was the stronger, there would have been more casualties on the Nigerian side.

"My amateur interest in History, Political Science and Strategic studies dates back to the sixties. My father was a federal civil servant. As a three year old, I lived in the same neighborhood (MacDonald Avenue) as Chief Anthony Enahoro and the late Senator Dalton Asemota (my mother's uncle) in Ikoyi, Lagos. Events relating to the Treasonable Felony Trial [of Obafemi Awolowo and Anthony Enahoro, among others], creation of the Midwest Region and the funeral of Senator Asemota were closely followed by my parents and many discussions were held in my presence, major elements of which, strangely, I still recall! As a seven year old, my family and I were awakened in the early hours of January 15, 1966, by our neighbor on Milverton Road (a British police officer) to tell us about the first coup. During the civil war I was the victim of a number of Biafran air-raids (which I never forgot)."

It is very easy for you to believe the above story yet when someone who has been to the war front gives his own account you dismiss it with ease. If you can believe the above quote then what stops you from believing in what forumites whose parents fought in the war said. It is easy for you to term their account as ''what my papa told me'' yet you believe here what your hero wrote.
Where are the photographs of the places the Biafran bombs landed in Lagos, how about the casualties?. Could the Nigerian and foreign media cover the bombings in the east and not cover the ones in Lagos?.

In Isinweke, Obowu, Nsu and Ehime; it is anwunoo.

Abagworo:
Yes.He grew up in PH with a lot of Igbo friends.

Most people who grew up in Port Harcourt do speak Igbo just like most people who grew up in Lagos speak Yoruba and Kaduna speak Hausa.

jason123:
No, I am not saying he is you. I just wanted you to read what he said since we were talking about comparing on the other thread.

O.K.
I will comment 2morrow, am feeling sleepy now.

jason123:
@ Andre

Read the above post.

Jason123, what is going on here. Why do you enjoy referring every Igbo poster as Andre?.

jason123:
Haba Andre, you and I know that if Oshimole* was the flag bearer of ACN, yorubas would vote for him. Infact, I still think GEJ would win ALL yoruba state and ND if he stops miss yarning. He is quite popular on the street.

Even if Oshinmole emerges as ACN candidate, GEJ will beat him hands down.
GEJ has a lot of enemies here in Nairaland and they have been playing character assassination of GEJ.
But soon, the wheat will be separated from the chaff. Watch out.

Here we go again

First it was Katsumoto, now it is Bkbabe, who is next? God?

It must really suck to be you!

C'mon shut up that smelly mouth of yours, Shameless maggot.

ladi02:
Yeah

And ACN will take over The Presidency

Are you joking. Since when has a tribal party won a presidential election in Nigeria. Is it AG, UPN, AD and now ACN?.
Stop the joke.

[quote author=bk.babe97y link=topic=599800.msg7701105#msg7701105 date=1297289581]Sure! Sure You do!

Just like you and Udezue claimed to "know" Omemani and Ochi Agha OUTSIDE OF NL when everyone was accusing him of being EzeUche. . . .

Well, he's confessed his crime so I guess its all good![/quote]Brooklyn, Do you have memory issues?. The other day you accused me of supporting IBB over GEJ, when in actual fact I have openly campained for GEJ presidency.
Now, you claim that I once said I knew Omenani or Ochi Agha personally. Dou mind exhuming where I said so?.
Do not let me start hitting on you as I did last year. Respect your self.

He proved me wrong with Wikipedia?

The same Wikipedia where Becomrichn claimed to have relaunched a Nigerian Social-political group?

PS: Seriously, dont tell me you believe that crap

I know the Ironsi's family, I have been to their Umuahia residence once. The Ironsis reside very close to Umuahia township stadium.

Wow so cap28 you are igbo?


No wonder you love to complain about victimization by white people, white media, asian people, asian media, green people, green media against black people

complain, complain, complain, whine, whine, whine!!!!



I wish I had so much time to do that

It is not a matter of being Igbo or not,  he has proved someone wrong with his post about Ironsi.

afam4eva:
So, every one that has posted on this thread is from Ibusa. You're a pathetic looser.

WORD.

phreakabit:
This Utaka guy is not good enough. He is obviously older than John Utaka. the other players in exception of Osaze, Taiye, Ahmed,Joel and maybe Emenike, the rest where garbage.

He is obviously not older than John.
John is obviously older.

malone5923:
I need someone to translate some Calabar words for me. The person who said it to me is from Calabar, Irruan tribe. They are:
Mo nwei.
Mo jemo.
I'm not sure if I spelt it well but I need a translator asap!

There is no language in Nigeria called Calabar.

afam4eva:
He's my best candidate. I don't know why he's not contesting.

He is contesting and very much in the race.

Denmark 1:2 England.
A. Young 68th minute goal puts England ahead.

jason123:
They too like to dey compare themselves to yorubas too much, HABA!

C'mon stop spreading falsehood, which Igbo is interested here in such comparisms. You are always the one bringing comparisms and similarities between Itsekiri and Yoruba. Where has your senses gone to?.

fstranger3:
And that was from your Ibo brother, MAX SIOLLUN

Guy, you have insulted Max a lot in this forum, it's high time you stop it. By the way, did Max tell you he is Igbo?.

England have equalised. D.Bent 10 mins.

@Physics or whatever you call yourself. Did Richy tell you that he is a moderator?. In this thread opinions have been divided, yet you have not questioned opinions of those on the other side of the argument. Do not make me wonder how neutral you are.
Even when Richy was a moderator, there was no favouritism from him. But what do you have today?. A situation an Igbo is banned permanently while others are banned and unbanned within 24 hours. Please do not shift from your neutrality.

chizzy09:
it's high time you igbo or ibo mud eaters to care for your own pwople and stop worrying who is part of the igbos. the ikwerre people are a rich tribe of their own, proud in their own rights. start worrying about how not to have caste systems and recognise your own people equally. talking about insulting the ibos in entirety, i think you deserve it even if its not the right thing to do. 98% of you think you are right but you are the most ignorant nigerians that ever lived, suck my manliness, bitches

Monkey, how many times do I have to warn you to stick to the topic. As a school drop-out, you should concentrate on how to complete your education than come here for an argument your miserable life can not win. Jobless Arrow, I hope you understand. Clown.
