See this accursed liar!
Did Gowon seperate southeastern states (known as ss today) from eastern region before Ojukwu attack on the southeastern states? Yes or No?
What a liar!

@Cheruv, is it until we start our own country that we would have built 'good' fences?

That you called these rabid anti Igboists shows how much you've deteriorated.. Anything pls, nobody is preventing you from marrying that Ofei' girl you've in mind

EUROBOMBER:
I just read the thread with link below and I was touched. I just want to say that the Yorubas are a very good set of people and fun to be with. I love them and I always want to share a country with them. let us embrace peace for sustainable growth and development. I have so many Igbo/Yoruba friends that are cross-married. We are one now and let us remain one.

This is to tell the Yorubas that no matter all the hate talk flying around, the Igbos love you and always will.


might be visiting Osun state soon to see her people.

Yoruba kwenu!!!!

All Igbos,forsake this one kos he's a lone dreamer!

barcanista:
@OP your thread is an insult to the constitution. Everyone is entitled to love or "dislike" any politician and/or is policies. The SS, SE, Part of SW and some Northern minorities that are not aligned to GMB and his party were not made from the go to dislike GMB. Remember that kinsmen and relatives of these people were victims of the post election violence (2011) and ovther arsons by Sai Buhari fans. Also recall that instead of Buhari to allow the perpetrators to be prosecuted, he went ahead to bail them. Recall that as a result of these so many of these victims lost their livelihoods.

Let us recall the hostile treatment Jonathan got in some part of the North during election perion. Recall that Jonathan was stoned and some people were prepared to repeat the 2011 havoc should their idol (Buhari) lose. Don't forget that some people up North hated Jonathan because they believe power must return to the North through Buhari irrespective of Jonathan's policies. So people are angry....Very angry!

It is incumbent on Buhari to earn their love and do what is sane. So far he has been acting in ways that are not befitting of his age and office-in terms of appointments and his reckless statement in USA.

Dont mind them..they think we're daft!
Thanks bro barca for this piece

We the great Igbo nation know we've oil & gas..but I want you to leave that and lay emphasis on the human resources.

amaben2020:
A man loved by his people, The first Nigerian to use the word fellow Nigerians, the youngest full fledged 4star general, a detribalized Nigerian, RIP

Yes..
He came into the Nigerian political scene in a hail of bullets and left in a hail of bullets

We Igbos dd a song in his honor... Ogbu mma gāla na mma its such a shame that obasanjo banned it

PassingShot:
From your link I got this:

If it was reported that Major Taiwo was responsible for the massacre, why are you blaming it on Col. Murtala Muhammed? Or is it because he commanded Nigerian 2nd Division?

Same way any 'massacres' carried out by biafrans in the Midwest should be blamed on Viktor Pancho kos he was the commander.

jomoh:
So you can talk about respecting someones position but you conveniently forgot that it was you who started it. Your level of hypocrisy is grand.

The fact I don't speak Igbo does not mean I don't know that "b" is not pronounced replaced with "p" so also "j" is not replaced with "ch". If "ch" is not in Yoruba language does not mean a Yoruba man should go around writing "church" as "surs" or "child" as "sild" same way you won't see an hausa man going around writing "police" as "folice". Only an unintelligent person will write the way he speaks if you get my drift. You're wrong accept you're wrong and your lie has been busted so you accept instead of trying to dancing your way out of it.

Why don't you try and understand the word "strategic" first, maybe that will help you get my point but in the mean time let me help you out. Not being strategic that I claim simply means it was not relevant in the grand scheme of things. I believe if you understand the meaning of the word, then you would know that a battle can never be bloody without being strategic. Your Abagana was so irrelevant that it was ignored by historians. In fact no historian mistakenly mentioned it but it was obviously so important to you because you wanted to blame someone that you had to slid it into "your" history book.

BTW, because I stated a FACT that you got your asses whooped you now concluded I must be a Yoruba. SMH. Just what I was trying to point out. You people just hate everyone even yourselfs included.

...a battle can't be strategic without being bloody.. Gwam asi ahu ozo
Anyway Google Battle of the Salsu river (612AD)
As for the other lies there,I don't ve the time now to debunk them.
Yes..only yolobas tell the kind of silly lies you're vomiting here.that was how some of you were saying that you saved the Niger deltans from the Igbos..

OPCNAIRALAND:
[s]You like to test the decibel of your noise, if not for anything sensible other than to reassure yourself that your rustic horn still has some toot left in it.

On 5th May 67 Gowon created out of Eastern Region a non-Ibo territory carved into two states - Rivers State and South Eastern State. He left East Central State to the Ibos.

Ojukwu marched out in War on 30th May 67....twenty five days after the dissolution of Eastern region. He first planted flag in Port Harcourt, another in Calabar and a third one in Benin[/s]

The states today that make up Niger Delta are exactly these same three territories -
Rivers - Rivers, Bayelsa
South Eastern State - Akwa Ibom, Cross River
Midwest - Edo, Delta.

which part of the claim is confusing to you?
Are you satisfied with the muffled decibel of your horn, or you would like to bleat again?

Yolobas and lies
I don't know why You guys love propaganda.. No wonder anything Igbo and Biafra attracts you guys like flies.even Gowon would laugh at the lies you're telling here.
On may 26,the Eastern consultative assembly asked ojukwu to declare at the earliest practicable date a new republic.this was in view of the massacres of the preceding year and failure of the Gowon govt that replaced Ironsi to take charge!
On may 27,alarmed by the mandate the East gave to ojukwu,Gowon announced that Nigeria had been broken into 12 states..6 in the North and 3 in the East. The rest were left as they were.
On may 30,ojukwü declared a new republic.. Giving it the name Biafra as suggested by Frank Opigo from Okrika.in doing so,he accepted the mandate of the people to be their leader.
Even when Enugwu fell on Oct 4,1967.. He offered his resignation but the assembly refused and told him to carry on.they also promoted him to a full general with the mandate to prosecute the war.
I don't know why your tribesmen insist on sharing lies..no wonder the Niger Delta tribes are tired of you guys.as for we Igbos, we believe that good fences make good neighbors that's why we clamor for secession.

jomoh:
Mr man go and re-read your history. Your Lingo does not have "c" does your lingo also replace "j" with "ch" and "b" with "p".

And no one is talking about speech here we are talking about spelling.

Do you read what you wrote. 138miles from Lagos was where Victor banjo's army met with MM. Tell me is Onitsha 138miles from lagos? I doubt you even know where Ore is.

Why has Abagana or whatever you call it never been mentioned in any history of the war but Ore was mentioned. If it was the bloodiest like you claim do you think historians would've ignored it.

Mr man Oleku Ija Ore was even used to write a book to show how strategic the battle was.

You're yoloba..am Igbo so you should respect my position just as I've respected yours.
You don't speak Igbo..so you'd not understand the intricacies of the language. You don't ve "ch" in your vocabulary..so I understand if you call cheruv,..sheruf
We're talking about bloody battles not strategic ones pls..and every historian knows that the mistake that Ojukwu made in the saboteur Pancho led to the failure of the assault on Lagos.
Go and read real history books..not Yoloba propaganda!

Imokay:
You relish in taking a one sided version of history to buttress whatever weak point you want to make. At no time was there a violent or sustained demonstration by Mid-westerners to create a region of their own. But the Federal Government led by Zik and Balewa of the NPC/NCNC alliance went out of their way to create the region after ignoring the violent demonstration and riot by the Tivs asking for their own region and the COR states agitation for their own region was similarly suppressed. The midwest was created not to balance the federation but to weaken the AG and Zik calculated that a weakened AG will be a direct benefit for NCNC and of course they 'won' the election to control 2 regions. But it was a short lived victory as the NPC they helped to hold power soon pulled the rug from NCNC feet.

Why were the minorities in the East and North not granted similar self government as the Mid West?

I've read the link barcanista posted and its quite shameful that Yolobas oppressed the nonOdua ethnicities of Western Nigeria... no wonder they wanted out at all costs
My only grudge is after the Midwest was created, there'd ve been an exchange of populations...
The Western Igbo divisions of asaba & aboh of the Midwest exchanged for the Eastern ijaw divisions of brass & degema.That way all Igbos would be in the East while all the ijaws would be in the Midwest. This would've prevented the adaka boro fiasco.
The Eastern regional leadership though developmental in outlook wasn't perspicacious and that cost us a lot!

barcanista:
Thank you @OP for the mention.

First and foremost, some (majority) of Niger Deltans had the notion of Igbo dominance when the Biafran State was first declared in 1967 and all through the war period. Some of us(Niger Deltans) that never experienced the war unfortunately held to this sentiment and even defended it. At present, some of us have however realised that position was baseless and a product of propaganda. I have to state with the fear of God that the Igbos will not and cannot "dominate" any tribe within the SS and SE region. I am yet to see such plan.

Let us recall that during the struggle for the MidWest region from the Western region, some people outside the Midwest had proposed that Anioma (in president day Delta state) be ceded to the Eastern region while wthe rest of Midwest be one. The propaganda was that the Igbos will dominate the Binis and others in the New Midwest. Fortunately, the then Oba of Benin and other advocates of the Midwest region insisted that Anioma should be part of MidWest. In fact, when Midwest was created there was relative peace and brotherhood between the Igbos, the Ijaws, the Binis and other ethnic nationalities in the MidWest.

I will suggest that proponents of one Nigeria should be more concerned with solutions that will solve the issue of marginalisation and will entrench equity, instead of making comments that promotes division. We have to recognise the right of people to self-determination while we appeal to everyone to come to negotiating table. The Igbo nation is an ally and cousin to the ND- there are Igbos of ND stock.

Pls can you provide me links to the highlighted portion.. It looked like what I heard except that the AG proposed that
1]Anioma be ceded to eastern Nigeria
2]all the Edoids(Bini, Ishan, Afenma'i, Urhobo & Isoko) form a region
3]all of ijawland(both east & midwest) plus jekri land join the western region.

Moreover why did the Bini oba insist on having Anioma in the Midwest?

Nigeria is in for a ride

jomoh:
The fact that you called Victor Banjo, Viktor Pancho shows the credibility of your source. Go and re read your history well.

Go and tell that to a Frenchman that calls Peter Pierre or the Spaniard that calls it Pedro.
Our lingo has no "c" letter so forgive me for the name changes in translation. The only thing I'd not forgive here is you telling lies and twisting out facts to suit your idiosyncrasies!

jomoh:
Honestly if you look at it critically it is the Igbos' insecurity that seem to be the main reason.

The Igbos seem not to like virtually anybody, not even themselves. FACT

They call the Yorubas betrayer. Probably because it was mainly the Yorubas that lead the civil war and defeated them both on(Alabi Isama, Benjamin Adekunle aka scorpion among others) and off the battle field(Obafemi Awolowo advised the FG to change Nigeria's currency and stop sending foods to the east). [s]Even the Ore battle(the bloodiest battle of the whole war) was lead by a Yoruba guy from the Biafran side. He was later killed by Ojukwu himself. Claiming he betrayed him[/s].

They call the Hausas Slaves because they seem contented doing menial jobs and also for their born to rule mentality.

At a point immediately after the civil war they quarrelled with the SS people for taking over the properties they left behind while on the run. They only made friends with the SS because they thought they can go together with the SS.

The FACT is that the Igbo people don't trust anyone. They are not just wired to function in an organised environment or with a constituted authority and when they don't succeed in such environment, they look for who to blame thinking it because they are IGBO.

Kwusi itu asi biko!
The bloodiest battle of that war was the battle of Abagana,which sealed muritala Muhammad's fate in the war! After the battle, Gowon had no choice but to retire MM from the war.
Another one were the battles of Onitsha..infact Abagana was a direct sequelae of the Onitsha battles.
The worst mistake Ojukwu did was to put Viktor Pancho in charge of the invading force..Pancho paid back that trust by betraying the invading army to the Nigerians who then stopped them at Ore.that was why Ojukwu executed Pancho and his collaborators.If it was the Anioma officer, Nwawo as originally planned, Lagos would've been captured and Gowon forced to flee to Kaduna/Zaria as he was then advised.
Igbos know better than trust yolobas..that's why we agitate for secession kos good fences make good neighbors

splashbaby:
Silly nonsense. Igbos false feeling of superiority over any tribes in Nigeria remains their greatest weakness. It's suicidal to dominate people who are better than you.

Igbos have never won any war they start, instead they possess impeccable records of failures when they seek to dominate others.

Biafra is always dead on arrival, Igbos are well known trouble makers brandishing the secessionist agenda the moment they hold the shortest end of the stick in any arrangement.

The truth is they should not be taken serious because they cannot decide the fate of Nigerians, we will always decide their fate...children of cowards have no say in Nigeria because betraying the Nigerian state is toga that will brand you as traitors.

Keep repeating that line..

We need words like this to harden and burn away any sympathies any Igbo might ve for one Nigeria
When the time comes,we'd raise an army of the hardened that'd sink Nigeria.
Moreover, am happy for what happened to GEJ.meanwhile keep the insults coming.. We Igbos deserve it for believing in the zoo called "one Nigeria"
