[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=732518.msg8896968#msg8896968 date=1313010102]Why are people praising this guy. What is so heroic about him? He allowed 2 million people to die in a war that was obviously doomed for defeat and then flew out of the country when d worst came.
That's not heroism that's selfishness and disregard for human life.  I think if Biafra had been fruitful, he would have been a worse dictator than idi amin.[/quote]Please, explain it to these dumb Ibo men on this forum

^^^ I never left. Its just shocking how dumb Ibos are as a whole. You guys are sick!

Someone brought my attention to the link below : WITH THE ARROGANCE AND IDIOCY IBOS EXHIBIT EVERYWHERE, THERES NO WAY YOU GUYS CAN EVER BE LIKED!!!!

http://saharareporters.com/news-page/“ojukwu-not-dead”-says-governor-obi

I honestly do not know. Well, hes old and has been sickly as of late so news of his demise wouldnt really come to me as a surprise. Im just shocked that a whole lotta Nigerians do not even know who he is.

Horrible. Not Don Jazzy, just the whole song is straight up trash!

Just chilling, been real busy. Travelling etc How've u been urself and howre enjoying the summer?

I shall not, and will not, mock a man that is in Ojuwkwu's condition whether dead or alive but the fact is I am astonished at the amount of Nigerians in cyber world that have no inkling who this man is or what he stood/fought for. If you doubt me go on twitter and see for yourself how many Nigerians keep asking the same question "Who is he?", "I thought he died Years ago" etc. Either Nigerians are not well-versed in their own history or the Ibos on NL have just been blowing hot hair all along (the latter wouldnt be surprising).

Please, visit twitter to ascertain.

P.S: follow @EngrMuza on twitter. help him reach 10,000 followers within 1 week. Pretty intelligent dude.

Ibos. Roflmao always fighting for one material thing or the other. Selfish beasts.

Btw, how come Ojukwu has properties in the same country he was willing to set afire?

And if his (Ojukwu's) father was as rich as Ibos regularly proclaim how come his family is beefing over such little property?!

Mobinga:
Lets compare, Nairaland and Ghanaweb. Just for an instance.

How many times do you see them insulting themselves because of tribes? How many bkbabes/ileke idis do you see there?  (The same bastardss [/b]that would come here and feign support for Nigeria) 

You cannot live in peace even on the internet and you compare yourself to the Almighty Ghanaians? Ridiculous!

I rarely post on this site anymore (cause Ive finally deduced that most of you are sick in the head) so the bolded flew past my head . . . .

Suffice to say: [b]YOUR MOMS IS THE BASTARD, YOU SON OF A HO. . . .

Thank You. Peace.

Muza:
this is an ACT OF WAR,we need to respond appropriately

@EngrMuza?!?!

Nigerians should be happy that Ghanians just bought themselves an enemy in the form of Liberians 

shesi:
Hahahahaha,

I am happy to be Ghanaian today. Everything Ghana is gold in nigeria today.

See how these people are all worked up because some ghana musicians parodied them. Throwing silly useless threats about. It's time most of ya'll wake up and smell the coffee.

"we don't care about small ghana" and yet, every little topic with ghana in the title makes the homepage here. why do you think that is? because the admin knows a topic with ghana in it gets the most views on nairaland these days? go through the homepage now and see if there is a more active thread than this one. "we don't have time for ghanaians" yet they find time to dig through the internet to find so-called proof for their disjointed arguements. "we don't have time for ghanaians. they are insignificant to us" Yet you spend hours and hours patrolling ghana chatsites.
you are very well informed for something you claim not to have any time in the world for.

Nigerians are so bitter now every time Ghana is mentioned. I'm curious, when did this happen? It's like they feel threatened. Ghana threatens to wake them up from their delusions of grandeur. and they don't like it. they'd rather keep dreaming.

hahahahahaha.

tell yourselves whatever you want to help you sleep better at night. If i'm walking down the street and someone shouts "short man", i won't even blink. Because i know there is no part of the world where i'm considered short. If the cap fits, it gets your attention.

Some is busy posting so-called "facts" about Ghana. Rick Ross or watever, me run away? do you know what the difference is between "opinion pieces" and "facts" it's a pain trying to argue with people whose IQ is so far below one's. But the smarter nigerians are not interested in this shhyte. so i'm left to deal with the likes of you. you can't defeat one ghanaman on a nigeria website and you want to take the fight to a ghana site? hilarious!



every so called 'bad' about Ghana you post, i can find you 4 more examples in Nigerian society. Go on, start now.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. . . . lets see a pic of u, and if U dont look like the African Cousin of Shrek I promise to never log on to NL ever again.

Theres no other group that has an inferiority complex bigger than that of a Ghanian. . . . well, maybe the Ibo, but thats another story.

I remember in college these two Ghaninas would always come tell me crap about other Nigerian students until I let them know that my sisters were Nigerian, then they started talking crap about me and I became the "wannabe African". I never understand Ghanians when they speak, and just like this "song" (if we can call it that) they mangle the english language and their pronunciations are horrible. Ask a Ghanian to pronounce "Burger" or "Just" and watch him bite his tongue off. I really cant stand them and their inferiority complex towards their own African brothers.

Thank God I'm not A [/b]Nigerian[b]S. . . . Jesus, this is the best those ashy, burnt as coal, butt scratchers could do?

Im with the Nigerians on this one. Ask any chic who she'll rather fuxck with: A Nigerian or A Ghanian? Her answer will tell u the cause of their anger. Inferiority complex is worse than H.I.V. I'd rather be Magic Johnson than a guy that pronounces "Pencil" as "Pansel". Just saying. Nigerians should just laugh this off and let Ghanians keep wallowing in their ignorance.

Funny how Dede1 is not talking about how Ojukwu fled to Onithsar during the July '66 coup while encouraging a Yoruba colleague of equal ranking in the Military to "Put the good fight". Funny how Dede1 is not talking about how Ojukwu fled Biafra in the middle of the Night, abandoning the very people he had led on his misadventure to their fate.

Funny how Ibos always try to revise history.

This is why it is so important for us to learn about our history properly, to read as widely as possible and to do our own research before we just accept and believe whatever anyone may tell us about our past. Chief Matthew Mbu is a man that I have tremendous respect and affection for and he is undoubtedly one of our most eminent elder statesmen and nationalists. He is also a father to me so I do find it difficult to say what I am about to say. Yet the truth must be told no matter what and no matter whose ox is gored. And the truth is that the elder statesman's assertion that Sir Tafawa Balewa, the former Prime Minister of Nigeria, was not murdered by soldiers and that he in fact died of asthma is a sordid and shameful attempt at distorting history. It is nothing but historical revisionism.

It is simply not true to say that Ifejuana did not kill Tafawa Balewa and that the man just died of an asthma attack after being abducted. The man was shot and his body was left to decompose. It is not true to say that there was no autopsy report. There was. After the body was found it was taken to LUTH and an autopsy was conducted by the head of the pathology department in that hospital. The findings were that he had been shot to death. Dr. Moses Majekodunmi, who was the Minister of Health at the time, can confirm this. After murdering Balewa in cold blood on the Abeokuta road Ifejuana fled to Enugu because by that time it was clear that the coup had failed. When he got to Enugu he met with Christopher Okigbo who he was very friendly with and Okigbo smuggled him out of the country from where he fled to Ghana. He later came back to Biafra and both he and Okigbo fought on the Biafran side during the war. Okigbo was killed at the war front and Ifejuana was executed by Ojukwu for plotting a coup against him too. Mbu is basing his assertion on reports that he was given by Christopher Okigbo. One wonders what he expected Okigbo to say other than that because not only was Ifejuana his best friend but he was also in the know and part of the conspiracy during that first coup. Of course he would not want to admit to anyone that Balewa was murdered by his best friend and co-conspirator.

These men were cold blooded murderers and cowards and we must not let Mbu or anyone else attempt to revise history before our very eyes. Ifejuana not only shot Balewa after allowing him to pray but he also mutilated his body and left it to rot in the bush by the roadside. We owe it to Balewa, his family, all the others that were killed, abducted and brutalized on the night of Jan. 15th 1966 by Major Nzeogwu and his fellow mutineers and murderers that night, the Nigerian people, our children and posterity to let the truth be known. I also question the motives of Chief Mbu for telling this strange and ridiculous story which is nothing but a lie 44 years after the event. The next thing that people like that will tell us is that Sir Ahmadu Bello, Chief S.L. Akintola, Brigadier Maimalari, Brigadier Ademulegun and his 8 month pregnant wife, Col. Largema, Col. Sodeinde, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, Col. Yakubu Pam and all the others that were cut short that night died of the flu. This is so unfair and so disrespectful to the dead and their families.

My own father was almost killed that night too and he was forced to witness the brutal murder of his friend S.L. Akintola, the former Premier of the west, by this same gang of wicked and heartless thugs. I remember the events of that time very well and I personally witnessed the events of what happened in our house when the soldiers came for my father too and took him away. If no one else will tell the truth and set the record straight about these events, I certainly will. It was what those boys did that night that led to the northern officers counter/revenge coup of July 1966 in which General Ironsi, Colonel Fajuyi and 300 Igbo army officers were killed and it also led to the terrible pogroms of Igbo civilians in the north which in turn led to the civil war.

These are terrible events from a terrible time and none of like to talk about it because it is painful and inflammatory. But the fact that we don't talk about it does not mean that we should sit back and allow someone to revise history. We must set the record straight, we must never allow our people to forget what happened and we must always be courageous enough to come out and tell the truth. This is the only way that we can ensure that this sort of thing never happens again.

If anyone has any doubts about what I have said here I urge them to please go and ask some of our most eminent elder statesmen who were very active at the time, who were deeply involved in governance then and who are still alive today like President Shehu Shagari, Dr. Moses Majekodunmi (the former Minister of Health in the first republic who was a personal friend of Balewa's and who was very close to him), Chief Richard Akinjide (the former Minister of Education in the first republic), General T.Y. Danjuma, General Yakubu Gowon, President Olusegun Obasanjo, Alhaji Inua Wada (the former Minister of Defence in the first republic, Alhaji Maitama Sule and so many others. They can also read an excellent book which is Balewa’s biography titled "A Right Honorable Gentleman" and which was written by a British historian and colonial officer at the time by the name of Trevor West.

For further confirmation they can also reach three of the most respected, objective, authoritative Nigerian historians and authors of this generation who are all, in my view, of the highest standard and who are all extremely knowledgeable about the events of those days and our history generally. They are Mr. Max Siollun, Mr. Ayo Akinfe (both of whom are based in and write from London) and Mr. Akin Ajose-Adeogun who is based in Lagos.

There was also a formal investigation into the matter which was conducted by the Special Branch Department of the British police and they produced a report which confirmed the fact that Balewa had been shot by Ifejuana. Quite apart from that Alhaji Babankowa, a former Commissioner of Police, who was a Deputy Inspector at that time, in his reaction to Mbu's assertion, told the Daily Trust Newspaper on Monday, September 6th, 2010, that he discovered the corpse of the Prime Minister and that of Festus Okotie-Eboh (the former Minister of Finance), Col. Kur Mohammed and Col. Abogu in a bush on the Abeokuta road. He said that he and his men "found the dead body of the Prime Minister and the other three decomposing and with gunshot wounds". He said that he then left his men there to guard the bodies and rushed to Ikeja provincial police station to report. He then briefed the Inspector General of Police, the late Alhaji Kam Salem, about his findings.

His interview in that newspaper makes interesting reading as he went on to confirm the fact that he led a delegation back to the bush where the bodies were which comprised of many top government officials and dignitaries including Alhaji Maitama Sule who is still alive today. He confirmed the fact that all those dignitaries also saw the bullet wounds in Balewa's body and in the body of all the others. For further corroboration of Babankowa's account those that are interested can reach Alhaji M.D. Yusuf (the former Inspector General of Police) and Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi (the former head of the defunct Nigerian Security Organization) who were both officers in the Special Branch of the Nigerian police at the time and who are fully aware of and are conversant with the details of the British Special Branch report.

I should also add that Mbu was the Foreign Minister for Biafra. So really what we are witnessing here is the questionable testimony of two Biafran sympathisers, Christopher Okigbo and Chief Mbu, who are trying to clean up the image of a cold blooded and ruthless murderer by the name of Major Emmanuel Ifejuana who was one of the most prominent officers of the Biafran army. The truth is that Ifejuana's hands were dripping with Nigerian blood before he died and for anyone to now try to absolve him of the murder of Tafawa Balewa or anyone else that he killed is sad and unfortunate. Interestingly enough just as he betrayed his leaders in Nigeria and killed some of them, the same man betrayed the leader of Biafra, Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu, too by planning a coup against him. He was caught and he was executed by firing squad. Treachery and homicidal tendencies were both in his blood.

Chief Femi Fani-Kayode was the spokesperson to President Olusegun Obasanjo; he subsequently became Minister of Tourism & Culture & later served as Aviation Minister for Federal Republic of Nigeria. He is currently vying for the position of Governor in Osun State (South-West, Nigeria).

Really,

I doubt living in Lagos could be any worse than living in Kingston. And Ive stayed in Kingston for 3 months. Then again, didnt run into no Ibos the period wen mi deh inna Yard.

You wanna rise fast in Nigerian Military Ranks, no? Ok, heres what to do. Always remember to Stand "Attention". Say "Yes,Sir" a lot. Then gather 450 of your closest Army buddies (Plus one Yoruba) kill all the political leaders of ethnic groups other than urs, then call it a "Joint effort" (i.e claim "other tribal groups were involved" in your dummy act . . . . remember that ONE Yoruba officer, right?). If you bungle the mission just cause a civil war, then you. . . . .

Oh wait, that didnt work for the dudes I'm thinking about. . . .

I'll get back to you on this one. Be patient. Brb
