Irony1:
Let me correct an obvious lie about Zik being in bed with Fulani by removing secession clause. In 1956 in Lancaster the British told all the delegates to that conference that as a prerequisite for independence, the borders of colonial Nigeria must not be touched. Awolowo signed that document, so did everyone else. So there was no way the British would have allowed secession clause so it was not Zik. Also the 1959 elections gave no clear majority seats needed to form a government it created a situation called a hung parliament(please read it up) and in that case a coalition between any two parties can get the majority needed to form a government. Sardauna fearing a coalition of Southern parties indicted to Sir James Robertson that the north will not go through with independence if the Southern parties for a coalition. So the British now indicated that it has be a coalition between NPC and any of the parties in the south. So why blame Zik? That lie has persisted for too long.

More falsehood.

Awo pushed for the secession clause, Sardaunna was OK with it, Owelle kyboshed it so it wasn't written in.

The British were handing the country over, why would they insist on anything pre-independence, something that could be easily torn up and thrown in the bin if the tripod didn't want it.

Also why would they insist on a coalition between parties in a country they were pulling away from, that doesn't make any sense which is par for the course for you. The event was one held with the proviso that independence was coming as we had gone past the stage of the British being able to stem that particular tide.

You need to stop with the falsehood, the uncle telling you these things is doing you wrong.

They are beefing each other and you know Obj, he can bear a grudge.

You know there are no south south person there and you are crying..why are you crying then ... meanwhile, what's your business with south south person, why not focus in your south west.

Thankfully, this forum has decreed that I don't have to be a particular tribe to post in any thread.

When are you going to tell your fellow South East person (and I will paraphrase you) that what's their business with South West or South South, why don't they focus on South East?

Let's end the hypocrisy abeg.

Irony1:
Ojukwu had his flaws and his arrogance no doubt but he wanted to use the element of speed for this knowing fully well the skills gap in the Nigerian infantry at that time. Banjo slowing down gave the Nigerian army enough time to mount a counter offensive. At the time of their advance the fleeing Nigerian troops from the midwest didn't practice a scorched earth policy so the supply line as still there.

There is no speed nothing in moving men and artillery, stop this asinine notion.

Everyone knew where the Biafran army were at all times so there wasn't even an element of surprise, that is why the Nigerian army waited patiently for them at Ọrẹ, a small town with no barracks or any military presence normally, and gently or not so, turned them back after a few days battle.

Also, there was no supply line anything for the Biafran army in Benin, they had behaved badly on their way to Ọrẹ so were hated by the locals. In fact, those without arms were advised to change into mufti on their way back to Biafra and had to move about under the over of darkness stealing to feed etc

The ones with arms did their bullying thing on the locals again on their way back to Biafra including raiding the Central Bank. Thankfully they didn't hang around too long as the Nigerian army were on their tail.

Your lack of knowledge on the civil war interspersed by your need to make multiple posts on it is jaw dropping.

Irony1:
You and I know why you feel hatred for Biafran army officers because they were far more professional than the vietcong but your bias which is fuelled by bigotry made you think otherwise that is why I asked you what makes a professional soldier and a ragtag one and you cannot answer me.

So you think an army that lost battle after battle is not ragtag? Did you know that some of the Biafran army went to the war front without arms. It was only when a soldier was killed that their gun was reassigned.

Or that Achuzia used to hang back from battle spots and any potential deserters that he saw loitering away from there, of which he was ashamed to say most were Ndigbo, he summarily executed there and then.

You need to read up about the Biafran army experience, the fervour for the war on the Biafran side ended less than 3 months after the first shots were fired.

This isn't news abeg, was always going to happen.

EmmyMaestro:
According to her, she applied for a hostess position and arrived at the venue only to discover that many other applicants had also been invited for the interview.

Anti, it is a hostess job. If you can't distract the clients with your rump to make them spend more money, the business will fold.

When the jungle town crier announces for a meeting of animals with horns, the snail is not expected to turn up.

Irony1:
What really is your definition of a professional soldier and a ragtag army? You argue based on your tribal and ethnic bigotry tainted bias rather than being intelligent in writing and organising your thoughts.

What tribal and ethnic bigotry again nwanem, is this what you are going to hide under now?

ObaOfYorubaLand:
Even though the mods and Seun the owner of nairaland knows this is fake news but thy still allow this fake news on nairaland.

@Seun, Mynd44 kindly delete this and ban the @op for spreading false news on nairaland.

No more fake than when Obidients claim Peter Obi won the 2023 Presidential elections.

You people can dish it out but can't take it.

Ride on jàre Kenneth Okonkwo, you are one of the few people that can match Obidients, craze for craze.

anonimi:
Òtítọ́ lóde. Kò jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ!

While you are right, you could have been a bit less blunt now, ah ah.

This is our incoming president ó, according to Obidients, and you just bulala àm like dat, chai.

Irony1:
Even the northern Vietnamese army were far more ragtag than the Biafran army and mind you the best Nigerian infantry officers made up the Biafran army so do some introspection here.

The same Vietcong that showed the mighty US pepper and eventually made them turn tail and leave their country. That's who you are saying are more rag tag than the Biafran army that surrendered to an equally indisciplined Nigerian army, àbi?

Maybe you need to find a better example.

Kobicove:
Most of the gang related violence in London started from Jamaicans who flooded the UK in the 70s and 80s

Wrong, very wrong, white skinhead gangs started way before that.

The last time I went to that London, which was a while ago, I didn't make any eye contact with anyone. I also vowed that no matter what age a child that is harassing me is, I would be answering sir, sir, sir for him.

Especially East London, that side has a toxic mix of people.

Irony1:
Dude you are just clutching at straws and making no sense. I said what I said and it is clear if he was in enemy territory, why would he decide to retain a detachment of troops in that same enemy territory? The German werhmacht moved through Belgium that was hostile to them and through the dardanelles into France in 2 weeks abeg gimme a break.

Once more, stop comparing the German Army with the ragtag Biafran one. You are making yourself look, erm, a bit silly.

This Obidigbo is a real character that wears igbo tinted glasses all the time and treats the truth as optional.

Bottom line is Ikemba in charge of Eastern Region was sitting on a lot of oyel. When states were created, especially those not in Aligbo, that oil suddenly disappeared and he wasn't about to let that happen.

A shame because even after the (unnecessary) war, those states were still standing.

Segzy19:
Just see as he stand like house boy without slippers on while Kwakwanso sits majestically and oga Dickson is dishing out instructions....

What a shame!

Haba, that is too much nau, kí ló dé?!

garykoeman:
Obidient are campaign funds looters.

Na wetin dey pain dem pas bí dat.

As dem fence di LP pipo from di Obidients funds dat time demselve come chop belleful and dis Dickson nor wan gree dem do am for him party.

It's greed, it's Obidient greed in full display and it's shameless and quote frankly, pathetic.

Eyakuare:
So reconstruction of federal roads is now an achievement. Whose responsibility to fix the bad roads? They are simply doing what they are supposed to do. Let’s not bring unnecessary distractions here.

I don't blame you, google the road and look at pictures of what it looked like during Obaseki's regime.

Those that use it are grateful for the changes and thank Akpakomezer and President Tinubu, you are here saying "whose responsibility"?

jaxxy:
There was a meeting and no response after 2months instead it was disrepect and u want her to stay?

I don't blame her sha, who exactly is she to be having meetings with anyone important in the APC hierarchy? What grassroots pull does she have exactly anywhere in the state, not in Òwu, not in Abeokuta or even Ota?

Pure see finish based on her surname.

rabzy:
In Benin, Banjo had the eastern region and a good number of communities who are igbos, igbo-speaking or sympathetic to the cause in midwest at his flank.

Oga mi, you don't know much about Benin or it's environs to say this.

Once Banjo and his troops stepped foot in Benin, in fact once they left the outskirts of Asaba, they had no one sympathetic on their flanks. They were deep into enemy territory and that is about 40 or so miles from Benin

Banjo couldn't move any faster as he would have needed supplies to move as fast. Troops have to sleep, exercise and eat. Even the Nigerian army heading towards Benin never caught up with the backsliding Biafrans because they needed to check flanks and troops had to sleep, exercise and eat too.

Irony1 thinks they will just continue driving on vroom vroom until they get to Lagos, with big lorries and artillery, remember there was no expressway then.

Moving armies towards a target is not like in the movies, it has to be slow and deliberate or else a nice trap awaits that can completely anihilate your division.

lionphil:
Obi is the party, the party is Obi. .

Which of them, APGA, PDP, LP, ADC or NDC?

I must say, I suspected NDC was going to implode but not now

Abi President Tinubu hand dey dis gbas gbos too.

Like others have said, it's time for Obidients to form their own party, do see finish don too much.

ottersberger:
Delusions everywhere. We are waiting for Tinubu to try stealing this election, na dere una go see the one wey senior beaty.

President Tinubu can only lose to a ticket presented by a united opposition.

He wouldn't have to steal anything with the opposition fragmented and in complete chaos as they individually are.

We have regressed politically as a nation.

How many monikers do you have?

Igbophobia:
the proof is in your attack of his person. If he didn't win, why are all the arsenals APC and Tinubu minions directed at him instead of Atiku who Eyeneck claimed came second? The logic is simple: Tinubu, his minions and APC know he won. No wonder EyeNeck suddenly manufactured "glitch"

So you don't have proof, thought so as well!

brainycaleb:
Oh, we now quoting semantics now eh?
To joggle your thinking faculty, these type of kidnappers you should know are politically motivated and can not in any way be compared to the kidnap of terrorists and bandits whose base can be found deep inside forests and jungles! The police had it easy to find the former because they definitely had political motives! They can be safely categorized as “mere”. We are more worried about the kidnapped school children and their teachers by the latter! That isnt “Mere”.

With this piece, I believe i have corrected your obsessions with semantics.

No you haven't, kidnapping, especially of children, is not mere anything.

Igbophobia:
Obi will still win like he did in 2023 and EyeNeck might still do abracadabra.

Have you got any proof at all of this?

moscow007:
Tinubu is a one term President...deal with it!..

Not with this useless fragmented opposition, and I say that not being APC.

AsomughaChuks02:
A new Nigeria must emerge—one where no citizen is condemned because of tribe, religion, or birthplace. We can cherish our cultural roots while standing united by justice, mutual respect, and hope for a better future. We are capable of this.

You might want to direct this at your Obidients first sir, charity, as they say, begins at home.

mascot87:
They saw through her. Just like her father whom is a chameleon. She jumped into APC thinking she can get the governorship ticket but immediately she was dumped, she had to crawl back to her hole. She and her father thinks the leadership of APC in Ogun state are delusional.
The father thinks by putting on Tinubu infinity ♾ cloth to welcome him at the Ogun state airport about 2 months back would make Tinubu support his daughter for Governorship. What an ozourtic thinking

I don't think Anti Iyabọ and Baba are on good terms. I doubt he is supporting her candidacy, that's why she is not in PDP or APC.

Evelynluv20:
Oshodi that’s full of SS + Yorubas. Do they think they have the numbers?

Of course they don't, we are dealing with people whose hubris makes them think LP made inroads in Lagos due solely to Ndigbo numerical strength.

I think they are about to have a serious reality check this time round as their numerical inferiority would shine through. Like you said, Oshodi-Isọlọ is an SS and Yoruba enclave more so than the Igbo one they think it is.

Anti Iyabọ, you get mind o.

You returned from US yesterday and want to be consulted on all matters pertaining to APC governorship in Ogun state.

See crazy entitlement mentality.

At least they said they will hand Oshodi-Isọlọ to Yorùbá's, that's kind of them nau àbi wetin you want again
