kingingkinging: So poor in reasoning, so poor in analysis. Pls try to read any book on logic or philosophy. You have never read anything about theory of cause and effect in your life. Why should Nigeria feed Biafra? That is the only question that is begging for answer now. Why? If Biafra had known it could not feed herself then she should have surrendered. Or you expect Israel to feed Iran or vice versa? Very poor tribe in reasoning. Pls blame your forefathers-Ojukwu, Azikwe, Achebe for your 2m people that died, how many of their children died? Today Achebe has for PHD holder children, same for Ojukwu but wasted your sensless Igbo follwers who could not reason.

Another wasted ofenmanu generation claiming false "shophistication" with philosophy here.
Who told you Biafra wanted Nigeria to feed her? Biafra was blockaded by a warship provided by Britain which sank any merchant ship bringing in food supply purchased or donated to Biafra. Like in every blockade, such as the Israeli blockade of Gaza,they inspect the ships to ensure they had no weapons or chemicals that could be of military use.Have you heard the Isrealis saying they would sink any ship destined for Gaza? But in Nigeria's situation, Britain handed Nigeria an instrument to starve the civilian population ! In which murders like Awolowo simply murdered millions of children by threatening to bomb any shipment to Biafra, even those that were certified to have food. No country including the present day Nigeria can survive if a bigger power prevented everything from coming into Nigeria merely because it had a navy to do it.
So get your facts straight into your hard skull, Biafra was only asking for international laws to be respected nothing more,nothing less.Not for a single grain to come from Nigeria. In any case,Nigeria would have poisoned any food destined for Biafra as it did in a few occasions. So why would you cry for such a monster to feed you?

Biafra was defeated by Britain and the former USSR. The extent of these powers involvement was unprecedented and definitely unanticipated. Biafra was militarily superior until Britain literally opened its armory of heavy weapons to Nigeria after Biafran liberation of the midwest.Plane loads of weapons left Gatwick airport,London every night and flew directly into Lagos and Kano from that date until the war ended."Nigeria wasted more small arms fire in less than 15 months than all the Allied expeditionary forces in world war II". Go Figure!

Another jaundiced useless yorober thread designed to create unnecessary tension and rivalry. Seun and his likes would not ban such chauvinistic tribal and irrelevant threads such as this one. But say one word about yorober, and you are banned for a month.As if you can't use another name.msshhhhhhhheeeeeeewwwwwwww!

demmie1: if any justice is done Achebe should be hanged by international criminal court for participating in a government that allowed its people starved and ojukwu corpse should exhumed and hanged for leading his people to a war he could not win.

....and what should happen to Mobolaji Johnson, Joseph Akinwale Wey, Oluṣẹgun Mathew Okikiọla Arẹmu Ọbasanjọ,Benjamin Adekunle,Adebayo Adedeji and so on who actually promoted the Awolowo starvation policy? The renowned Prof. Tam David West did not mince words in naming all Awolowo's accomplices in this heinous crime against humanity.

emmatok: Foolish Igbo MAN,

Didn't GOWON threaten your senile elders to sue him?
GOWON THE HEAD OF STATES, was ready to take responsibilities for the war.
But you Igbos kept shouting AWO,AWO,AWO
I am of the opinion you are all under remote control.

The problem with Yoruba people is that they love to live in lies and denial. Every Igbo man blame Gowon for allowing Awolowo to use the instrument of the Federal Government to pursue his wicked genocidal agenda. Gowon himself was more concerned how he could militarily win the war. He never showed he was bent on a situation to kill as many babies as possible through starvation in order to allow Yoruba take over Onitsha and Aba after the war.Gowon might be culpable for the extra judicial execution of captured Biafran soldiers by his troops where he did nothing to give Geneva convention rights to Biafran soldiers in captivity,that is for the International war crimes court to determine.But he did not really carry out genocide on the civilian population as Awolowo did and encouraged. Which is the most wicked aspect and worst war crime of that war. Killing innocent babies for the fun of it.

Awolowo was the one that went far beyond the the dictates of civilized men by not only ordering starvation of babies,but even after the war had ended, he expropriated all the Igbo money in Lagos banks. He advised the newly created Rivers State to confiscate Igbo properties so that Igbos can never recover their war loses.He tried the same thing in Lagos,but for Sir Adeniran Ogunsaya and Fani Kayode who resisted his wicked plot to confiscate Igbo properties in Lagos. He schemed out a strange way of paying Nigerian soldiers stationed in former Biafra areas to ensure they could not spend their money in Igboland.
He started this sytem of marginalization of the south east, where by any project approved for the south east was starved of funding.Promoted indigenization decree to rob other regions any stake in the Nigerian economy.

After all his wickedness, he still died like a dog and whether you guys like it or not, his evil ways must be examined to find out what led to such rabid hatred of Igbos. In that way, Nigeria shall prevent having another wicked criminal like Awolowo ever being in a position to ruin this country with his personal ethnic agenda.

emmatok: Senile fool.
Was AWO the head of States.
GOWON is still alive but you are busy chasing the dead.
If you fear dead AWO so much, how Will you deal with the living AWO.

Another Yoruba ediot.Who cares if Awolowo is alive or in hell with fellow demons?
The issue is that Yorobbers have suddenly equated speaking about the crimes of this war criminal Awolowo to mean insulting or hating yorobbers.But when he was living his miserable life,it was the same yorobbers that frustrated his immoral presidential ambition on the grounds that he had committed grievous crimes against humanity and on other Nigerians he now wants to rule.

Suddenly,after his death, he is now a saint and you guys don't care anymore if he murdered millions in cold blood even when the entire international community begged him to have mercy on even innocent babies and he callously refused.All you want to hear is that he established University of Ife, so those he murdered their children and mothers should just deal with it and shut up? Yeye ediots!

Gowon is a man of conscience. I hate that he let Awolowo get away with his murderous spree just to keep Awolowo and by extension the yorobbers in his fragile coalition government.But his stance as Head of State was clearly that he wanted to crush the rebellion and he never lost the opportunity to appeal to the Igbos that he had no quarrel with them.
Indeed, Gowon could be said to have ended the war quickly because many Biafran commanders started considering peaceful resolution of the conflict after Gowon made several assurances of amnesty to the foot soldiers. Which the blood thirsty demon Awolowo in his wickedness opposed.

warrior01: seems the truth is gradually staring you in the face and you're getting uncomfortable.

Yorobbers are children of Satan(Olumila). They just hate the truth.

thrugemaster: i do not know how good, but nigeria will be far better than that what it is a the moment

Nigeria would have been better if it were a confederation of states. Similar to the United Kingdom.

acidtalk: Today is Mallam Nuhu Ribadu's Birthday. For those who that name rings a bell but can't remember, he is the pioneer chairman of the Economic and Finance Crime Commission under president Olusegun Obasanjo.

He was accused of so many allegations and attrocities under the Late President yaradua's government. We was demoted and dismissed from the police force under that government. A Situation which saw the Mallam going on self exile.

After Yaradua's death, the Goodluck Jonathan government pardoned him and all allegations against him were dropped, his rank reinstalled and a retirement status instead of the earlier 'dismissal' from the police force by the previous government.

The same man contested in the Presidential election against Goodluck Jonathan under the ACN party being run bu the very same man (Bola Tinubu) Ribadu refered as the world's biggest thief. That election saw Nuhu Ribadu under the ACN party coming 3rd behind Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammed Buhari.

Way into the goodluck jonathan's stay in office he appointed Ribadu as the chairman of Petroleum Tax force committee, a committee which have been embrioled in controversy of late because of its report on the fuels subsidy related issues. A Committee which is currently not having the full backing of the Federal Executive Council members.


Say a word to Nuhu Ribad on this special day of his.

Mallam, Go back to Jamaica where you have been living. Nigeria does not need the truth now.

The man of God, Prophet TB Joshua is the only man of God that gives foreign church members in serious financial dire straits huge sums of money and those people give tithe to their local churches from that money. He even recently gave N7 million naira to some repentant Boko Haram boys who came to seek financial help to start legitimate business instead of being political thugs.

Zimbabwe or Cameroon government cannot use the horrible image of Nigeria to diminish the real work of salvation that this Prophet has been doing without discrimination by race,religion or ethnicity.

If TB Joshua were a German or American, Presidents and world leaders would easily recognize his divine gifts and praise his mind blowing acts of kindness and philanthropy.But i guess God deliberately chose a Nigerian and a Yoruba for that matter. To prove that some good can come out of Nazareth.

PointB: I hope this state creation move is not a fluke. I can wait for SE to have equally number of states like other zones.

Anioma is welcome to join the SE.

My brother,
I am from the Anioma part of Delta and i can tell you the area deserves to be made a state. But those that specialize in politicizing everything concerning Igbos are at it again. They know the South east deserves a state in order to balance the country. They also know Anioma is the only qualified area based on land mass and population that can become a true viable state. But instead of simply creating Anioma as the people already know it and as they requested, they will create confusion by saying they will add parts of Anambra to it. Soon they will say parts of Kogi, parts of Ikwerre land should be added and also parts of Imo and Edo state too . So when they create enough confusion,then they suddenly say the "people" don't want Anioma state. It is just the same vicious men fighting tooth and nail to deny the South east a deserved state by deliberately creating confusion.

Nigerian abracadabra madness has started again. S now it is Anioma they want to destabilize by adding the massive Onitsha to it? Then the Onitsha zone will naturally dominate the new state based on population. That idea is dead on arrival. If they want to create a state for the SE to iron out the imbalance,they should do so. Putting Anioma creation into that category is completely unacceptable.

I finally believe Buhari might not be a member of Boko Haram.

Bia umuigbo, kwusi nu anyaoku na ekworo na ime alaigbo.

Yeye people can't find better thing to yearn about. Na to always tok useless tok.

The only thing this Onwuka Benjamin did that has already defeated his cause is declaring himself "president" of Biafra. O'l boy you will be more qualified as President of Nigeria where anything goes and any ediot can become "President". Calling your self President of a state as progressive as Biafra is an insult and caricature of everything Biafra stands for.It is a shame to deliver such an ill thought out speech on your first day.

INNO18: Enugu is realy Alaigbo's Abuja. I wish our brothers who invest their money in foreign lands like Lagos and Abj, would have a rethink and know that there's no safer investment than that @ home or somewhere close to home. Enugu is realy our pride in the East. From an Anambrarian.

Gbam! Abum nwafor Ibuzo na Delta State. Mana ebiri m n'enugu.

The English proverb says ; "Fool me once, shame on you,fool me again shame on me"
The Igbo proverb says ; "The same stick should not blind your eyes twice"


Let those who have ears listen and hear. Those people who wish to go back and get butchered like goats and pigs in northern nigeria can very well do so. Just bear full responsibility for your foolish decision.

GenBuhari: ^ Why do you keep trying to slander Buhari with blatant lies?

The only evidence that has emerged of people sponsoring Boko Haram , shows that there arel all from PDP and some have been linked to vice-president Sambo.
If you have contrary evidence please present them or stop spreading blatant lies and misinformation

Bros,we feel the same way about Buhari and PDP. But, i must emphatically tell you that the suggestion that Boko haram is a mere PDP thing rather than a reaction to the perceived loss of power by the north is mischievous. Time shall reveal the extent of Buhari's involvement or not with Boko haram violence in Nigeria.

afam4eva: No be small influence oo

Abubakar Shekau, the Boko haram chief murderer just wants a safe flight to Saudi Arabia where he could ask for asylum. He will be in for a rude shock,as the Saudis donot tolerate any terror related asylum status for foreigners.may be from there,he would go to Afghanistan to join the Taliban. Lets watch and see how this unfolds.

Negotiating with terrorists is a waste of time. They simply want to buy time and regroup to continue blowing things up.

So is Boko Haram disciplined?
After the bla bla bla on indisciplne,he still join a bunch of undisciplined BH boys for political relevance.
Naija politicians sef !

The Governor of Abia should be impeached, publicly tried and stripped of all he stole from that state.

Wetin concern us with Ghana here?
If i see Nigerians going to get education in America,Europe or even South Africa, at least i know they are getting something better than Nigeria's system. But Ghana? what makes Ghana or Sierra Leone education(The new Nigerians' destination) better than Nigeria's education? Nigerian kids always beat Ghana in WAEC and other west african exams, so what sense does it make to go to Ghana? Nigerian trained doctors always score higher than Ghanians in USMLE (US medical licensing exam) and PLAB. So why Ghana?
Na una wey dey take una children to Ghana for fake education. You can continue to waste your money on Ghana education.

Now that Shekau's base in Mali is about to be invaded, he wants peace after killing thousands of innocent Nigerians. Even if amnesty is given to Boko Haram fighters, Shekau and his henchmen commanders must be tried for heinous crimes against the people of Nigeria and the churches he bombed.

acidtalk: You all should get a life.
Is Awolowo also the cause for the tribal and religious bashing that keeps happening on this forum everyday?

You na no get work to do.
Person wey don die na im una still dey blame for your disunity.

Bros, Awolowo don die enter hell fire since, but his ideology never die. Awolowo stands for tribalism,cheating and wickedness. His seeds still rule some people in Nigeria. They invoke his evil spirit to do evil and destroy progress in naija. But, it's all fine.
