At least Babangida Aliyu will leave the South's oil and now use his oil to fund sharia and terror on fellow Nigerians

geeez: Okay now I understand why they've calling you a slowpoke. Blame it on 9ja's falling standard of education

Fine, i haven't said i am not a slowpoke. I am just telling Naija people like you that dwell on fantasy to concentrate first on things to make Lagos better than cape town,New York or Tokyo, then i will be the man to trumpet and argue anyone that says Naija isn't better. Instead of making noise that Naija has surpassed those places when you know the reality,it makes you not even a slowpoke but a lunatic. While you are in Lagos, running a generator to be on NL and the front of your house is one massive pond called pot hole to mention the least in comparison. How many people in Capetown, New York and all these places Nigeria likes to compare themselves to, do you think live under such condition? .......NONE!

Why are they blocking them from hoisting their flag? Perhaps the Boko Haram boys just want to form their own country and practice sharia there.Why should the army block their exercise of right to protest?

some yorrobbers are really silly.Wetin concern agbero with overload? whether yorrobber is christian hindu,buddist,moslem or pagan he is still the same treacherous deceptive fellow. The greatest yorrobber killer awolowo was supposedly christian!

abeg shoot all the baggers !

geeez: Na wa O! This your reasoning get as e be. There's a difference between INNOVATIVE and BEST. Use a dictionary man and stop being silly instead of having the numerous members and visitors of this community reading this thread, laugh at you

Laugh ke? you think say i dey fear laugh? ediots wey no fit spell their names don call me slowpoke before here. the matter be say, no naija city reach cape town my brother. make we no insult ourselves dey use yeye words as innovative,indicative, progressive, educative etc. all these yeye grammar abi na adjective you wan call am, no fit help hide our failure as a country

geeez: Innovative they said. Innovative! Innovative!! Innovative!!! Not the best. You may want to check out the meaning of the word

Whether innovative ko, inventive ni, Lagos cannot compete with Capetown PERIOD. xcept for violent crimes and unruly behavior,Lagos cannot surpass Cape town on anything. Shikena! We always wan surpass anything good in other decent countries, but we sabi mess up our country.Who will build nigeria?

Hmmmmmm, anyone that ranks Cape Town SA behind our Lagos needs to have his head examined

I don't go to his church, but Pastor TB Joshua is a truly anointed man of God.

I will not question God for making such a great man come from Nigeria and a yoruba man for that matter, which is one huge dent on his credibility, since Nigerians and their leaders are renowned liars and crooks. Suffice to say that if Pastor TB Joshua was a German,American or even South African, most of the cynicism directed at him will be non-existent. But, only God knows why he would choose a Nigerian of all places for such great gift and to carry on such massive evangelical and philanthropic work.

The worst fall out of the speedy collapse of IBB regime was the scrapping to the two party system. Just like USA that knows if they allowed more than two parties, there will be a black party,white people party, Latino party, Asian party etc, Nigeria cannot and should not practice anything more than a two party system.

ACN is a tribal party and sometimes, people just get tired of sacrificing competence and performance for tribal sentiments. That is what happened in the Ondo election

Step2002: There was no need to post this twice, It's not the number of times its posted that makes the argument strong. The kidnappers in the state have got the message. Presently the kidnapping business in that state is on the low,a desperate situation arose and the governor had to act. You are concerned about destruction of property, well, sorry, I rather that land lies fallow than kidnappers have a field day in the state. 3rd world country you say, tell me the difference between the action of the governor and the action of the presidents of USA in killing Osama, invading Iraq, Afghanistan etc. That's a 1st world country remember. I hate to compare Nigeria with USA in anything at all, but you started it by not realizing that our Institutions especially Judiciary are not like theirs yet a governor has the responsibility of protecting his people. He has to do something, especially when he is beyond doubt, save the people and talk later about the process. Many of us are already like people in exile because of these evil men, now i see someone doing something about it with the legal security apparatus and i sit and condemn him or tie his hands with legality talks about a judiciary stinking of corruption... meanwhile the former appeal court president has he been re-instated? The houses were destroyed in overriding public Interest and that is constitutional.

My brother, don't mind them. Chief Zebrudaya calls this situation "You don't know who and who is around". Some of these folks protesting here might actually be the kidnappers themselves or the relatives of kidnappers.
Anambra people passed an anti Kidnapping law, which clearly state that the property of anyone caught in Kidnapping should be confiscated and the house demolished.To prevent such anti-social characters from benefiting from that crime whatsoever. What that governor has done is just applaud able.Any Kidnapper found to have property in the state know it is going down as simple as that. Let their faceless brothers and accomplices keep protesting hiding behind pages of newspapers. It won't change anything. The law has already been passed and signed into state law by the governor.

Have they been deported?

Anyone can convert to any religion.The only problem is when people try to use religion to corner government funds under any guise. Personally , i am a Buddhist. But i don't worry the Oyo State government where i used to live to build me a temple.

50calibre: It's quite funny you think you are no longer naive now you are older whereas the reverse is the case.

It should be a great source of concern to you that when you were young you had a greater sense of identity which seems to have disappeared as you get older? Normally people tend to develop greater self confidence and self esteem as the grow older but your is the other way, don't you feel it's a kind of retardation?

Well anyone who is stupid enough to view you negatively just for the mere fact you are Nigerian, is stupid and you shouldn't even have anything to do with such a stupid person whatsoever.

Some people relinquish their American citizenships just to pick up citizenships like Singaporean, Cuban, Gambian etc

Seek therapeutic help, what you are going through is a recognized psychological issue

Bros, you can speak all your grammar and make all the pretenses in the world about the issue. Good for you. I am not talking about African Americans in their hood or some other ill informed population.Perhaps you have never held a very sensitive position before in a global bank such as RBS. If you did, you will understand completely that merely speaking the word " Nigerian" makes many of your customers very uneasy about dealing with you. I would not worry if you "air brush" this concern because you have never dealt with people in the population i am dealing with,but someday, by God's grace you shall get there. I hope you will remember that this was perhaps what Cjrane was expressing to you years back.You will see how uncomfortable people will feel giving you their sensitive information after you've answered the question "Where are you originally from? "

batiatus: everyone does that, meet an iraqi and the only that first came to my mind was how was roadside bomb in his country. for no reason i believe all mexicans are drug addict. one just have to put up a strong face, not easy though. i cant forget one lady i told i was a nigerian, reaction changed sharply

Bros,except for our musicians and Nollywood actors, there is absolutely nothing to be proud of being a Nigerian. Believe me, you can put up a strong face for a country you believe is unfairly labelled and try to defend it. But, 99.9% of what many people think of Nigerians is correct or they actually experienced it! Even as you are there, many will start telling you they heard Nigerians can't even tolerate themselves or other religions. Before you open your mouth to deny it or "air-brush" the stereotype, you hear the other Nigerians right there in the group,Edo,Igbo,Yoruba etc begin to tell the bewildered foreigners it is the "other" groups who are responsible for all Nigeria's woes and how they wish those people will be cut off and joined to Chad,Cameroon or Benin. Nigeria is indeed a shameful place to belong to these days.

When i was younger and more naive, i was so quick and proud to say "I'm a Nigerian!"
These days, i only admit i'm a Nigerian when i am talking to a fellow Nigerian. Sometimes,the mere mention of the word "Nigeria" makes people view you very very negatively.

If Nigeria is serious about unity,it is the best thing to do and it should be enshrined in the constitution. But Nigeria is a sham, so i expect nothing positive aimed at truly uniting Nigerians from it.

big deal 007: The news which everyone heard loud and clear
from the Joint Task Force (JTF) was that a top Boko Haram commander, Bama, was arrested in the home of a senator representing Borno Central Senatorial District, Ahmad Zanna. Even Zanna admitted that the Boko Haram man was a nephew of his. What he has so far refused to admit is whether Bama was caught in his house or not. His own argument is that Bama wasn’t caught in his house, but in that of Ali Modu Sheriff, a former governor of the state who Zanna defeated in the 2011 polls to become senator. Zanna took on the offensive, accusing the JTF of distorting the facts of the arrest. He was grilled for about nine hours in Abuja by the State Security Service (SSS) over his alleged links with the Islamic sect. In a chat with reporters before he left for the SSS headquarters, Zanna declared that Bama was arrested in Sheriff’s house and not his. Trying to play the statesman, the troubled senator said that he was willing to lead a Federal Government delegation to open talks with the sectarian group, if only it would help to end the insecurity in the country. Ali Modu Sheriff, the ex governor, was fingered by Zanna as the source of his travails. Reason: Politics. Hear him: “My historic defeat of the former governor of Borno State in the person of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff has never gone down well with many persons and individuals in this country.
“Therefore, this latest campaign by the JTF in Borno State to deploy falsehood against me, even though they arrested Shuaibu Bama in Sheriff’s house."
“That they choose to tell the world that they arrested him in my house, is part of the campaign to rope me in by declaring me a Boko Haram member, financier, sympathiser, harbourer or even an activist so as to declare my seat vacant.
“This is being perpetrated to pave the way for Ali Modu Sheriff to by hook or crook come to the Senate, no matter what.”
According to a Thisday report: He also called for the immediate withdrawal of the JTF, adding: “What I’m trying to say about the JTF is that they are not doing things according to the rules of engagement and they are unnecessarily killing people more than Boko Haram, so what is the use of them being there?” According to him, the constitution does not allow the JTF to kill people at will. He said the JTF had never consulted with the
leaders or elders of Borno to resolve the insecurity
challenges posed by the insurgency of the Boko
Haram sect.
“The JTF did not consult the leaders in Borno at
any given time; they went there and started
harassing the people instead of them to sit down
from the outset to discuss with the people of
Borno,” he added.
He blamed the Boko Haram insurgency on the
inability of leaders to separate politics from
security.
Sheriff, in a rebuttal Monday, refuted Zanna’s
claim that Bama was arrested in his (ex-
governor’s) house.
The former governor, in a statement by his Special
Assistant, Umar Duhu, described Zanna’s attempt
to link him with his problem as laughable and
mischievous.
He urged security agencies to fully investigate
Zanna’s links with Boko Haram and allegations of
gun-running.
“On this note, we want to call on the relevant
security authorities to fully investigate the
incident and Senator Zanna’s possible links with
Boko Haram, and also his hajj-by-road activities
for which he was suspected to have used as a
façade for the importation of arms and window for
the training of terrorists,” he said. He said it was common knowledge in the state
that Zanna deceived youths by saying that he
would take them on pilgrimage by road only to
send some of them for terrorist training.
“Some of the so-called pilgrims by road have been
traced to terrorists’ camps in Afghanistan and
Syria, and not Saudi Arabia, their preferred
destination.
“It is very much on record that 27 of such pilgrims
are still missing up till date,” he said.
Sheriff wondered what Zanna’s nephew would be
doing in the house of a man he said was his
political rival.
He further said that contrary to Zanna’s claims in
the media that he had parted ways with the
suspect, “we can authoritatively confirm that his
nephew, Bama, was still his associate up to the
time of his arrest.”
At the SSS headquarters in Abuja, Zanna revealed
how he gave his aides N1.5 million to buy Sallah
rams for the insurgents and their threat to attack
him unless he gave them N10 million.
THISDAY gathered Monday night that Zanna
arrived at the SSS headquarters in Abuja at about
1 pm where he was processed for interrogation.
He gave further insight into his relationship with
the dreaded Islamist sect and reiterated his denial
that Bama was arrested in his Maiduguri home.
He told his interrogators that he gave N1.5 million
for Sallah rams to the sect members following
their threat to attack him.
He, however, added that when the insurgents
accosted one of his aides at gunpoint to know how
much he gave him, he lied to them that he
(senator) gave out N1 million.
He explained that when they took his aide to his
house for a search, they retrieved N250, 000 and
left a message with the aide for him that he
should provide them N10 million or they would
come for him.
The senator, who was released at about 10 pm, is
expected to report back at the SSS headquarters
by 11am Tuesday.

These are the people killing nigeria.

code.africa:
i stumbled upon this topic from another link and having been following this topic for a while, one thing i've learnt for sure is that nigerians are in total denial!
the truth is - your country is pathetic! you're here thinking everyone is jealous of nigeria, yet everyone who has been to lagos never wishes to return to the place. someone who went there told me it stinks like a garbage pit. everyone inhales bad air in lagos, yet you people think that people are "jealous" of you. who is jealous of such a backward country? i've never heard any good news come from nigeria. just kidnappings, bombs, explosions from the oil mines,juju. you're here thinking everybody hates you while the truth is you people have so much hate in your hearts that you imagine other people are as evil as you guys. when people don't notice you, you yell. you could be in town minding your own business and alas, you hear someone talking like he's commentating a football match. when you look to see you find that it's a nigerian conversing on his cell phone. he wants everyone to notice he's around. you believe that you must be noticed. your women too. very ugly girls. for every 1 beautiful one, there are 77 very ugly ones. they try so hard to be noticed by men, painting their faces like their lives depended on it, but still no game from the guys. all the guys will be tripping for ethiopian, zimbabwean, kenyan, south africa en tanzanian girls.
malawians have the right to express their displeasure at nigerians being allowed visa-free into their country. life is a good teacher. their reaction is just a reaction of how the whole world reacts to you people. is the whole world also "jealous"? do you see anyone queuing in their respective nigerian embassies to look for opportunities or to settle in nigeria, the country everyone is "jealous" of? you people are running away from your own country and you still think the rest are "jealous"? anytime you meet other africans, your immediate reaction is to compare dic-k sizes even when there's no need to. you meet a cameroonian and the only thing you say is that you're better than them. you meet a south african and the only thing you tell them is that nigeria is the giant of africa. quantity? yes. quality? no. nothing of quality ever comes out of nigeria. you guys need a serious reality check. you're living in dreamland and in your twisted dreams you imagine everybody hates you and everyone is "jealous" of you. most people i know do not hate nigerians. they may not trust you fellows, but hate? jealous? you guys are really paranoid. and please please. don't ever use those crappy things you call movies as your yardstick for measuring success. your "movies" are laughable. "jealous" indeed. paranoid people.

Even though i want to tongue lash this ediot, i am restrained by the fact that he told some hard truths. My people have a proverb that when a prince misbehaves in the village square,even beggars will insult him. This is very classical in Nigeria's self inflicted insult from even countries that have benefited from Nigeria's technical aid.

hmmmmmmmmm !

bashr8: The recent cold war among some Yoruba leaders has generated a public discourse. SINA FADARE in this report examines the contending issues. The political battle in Ondo State as regards who gets what by October 20, has knocked the head of leaders of Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, against each other. It was the former governor of Osun State, Chief Bisi Akande who fired the first salvo by calling the likes of Chiefs Reuben Fasoranti, Ayo Adebanjo and Olu Falae as political jobbers who are always pitching their tents where their bread is going to be buttered. Akande spoke on the premise of the recent endorsement of Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State, by the Afenifere leaders for a second term, when they attended Mimiko’s declaration in Akure. T[size=15pt]he former governor of Osun State said that the Yoruba leaders were mere political liabilities in any party they find themselves. According to him, their actions never came to him as a surprise because “the three of them are glorious political beggars who have lost relevance in the nation’s politics.” Not done yet, Akande who is the National Chairman of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), noted that Fasoranti, Adebanjo and Falae are always in Government Houses to beg for crumbs. “The so-called leaders are only looking for what they will eat[/size]. Of what relevance are they? They cannot point to any individual as their followers even in their home state,” he asserted. Akande pointed out that their bad luck and poor political antecedent crumbled Afenifere, the socio-cultural organisation of the Yoruba. He further referred to them as fake Awoists.



Since Akande has thrown pebbles into the camp of his political adversaries, it was not a surprise that missiles were equarly hurdled back at him for his “caustic tongue”. Reacting to Akande’s allegation, Adebanjo said that the former governor was an ingrate because he was the chairman of the party that made him governor in 1999.

Adebanjo lashed out at Akande for describing him (Adebanjo) as a fake Awoist, saying Akande was ignorant and ill-informed about Awoism.

Adebanjo noted that if Akande had confined his criticism on him as being an electoral liability, he would have ignored him, because he was too junior to him, but will not accept the label of a fake Awoist.

“I would have ignored him and would not have bothered to dignify his ignorant and ill informed statement which has become his singsong criticism of me without any response. The reason for this is simple. He is too junior to me politically for me to enter into political disputation with him. But when he opened his mouth so wide...

I believe Bisi Akande is indeed what the Yoruba will call, “Omo Atiro to lo da bata fun baba e oro lofe gbo” (literally means, the son of a lame father who thoughtlessly bought a pair of shoes for his father he needs to be reminded the physical position of his father),” Adebanjo said.

He pointed out that there were strong and notable Awoists who never contested elections, but lived their entire lives within the dictates and tenets of the philosophy of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, adding that he had no regret to have shared something in common with such people. While he likened Akande’s outbursts against their support for Mimiko to cheap blackmail and gratuitous insult, Adebanjo challenged the former governor to say what “crumbs” he collected from his table when he was governor.

“It is cheap blackmail and gratuitous insult for Akande to allege that our support for Mimiko was to collect crumbs from his table. Chief Akande should tell the whole world what crumbs I collected from his table when he was governor of Osun State and I was the chairman of the party. Such unguarded and irresponsible statement is least expected from somebody who is a chairman of a national party however figurative he may be holding the post,” he said.

If Adebanjo was full of anger on the pronouncement of Akande, Falae was embarrassed and could not hide his feeling when he noted that the former governor has penchant for rudeness and unguided statement.

The former joint presidential candidate of AD/ANPP in the 1999 election pointed out that Akande was a dreamer who probably did not know what he was talking about. He said: “What bad luck did he mean I brought to Alliance for Democracy (AD)? In Osun State where he contested the governorship in 1999, I scored more votes than he did. So, who brought better luck? “It is my prerogative and right to belong to a party of my choice and Akande is also free to belong to a party of his choice. He is in the ACN; have you ever heard me criticise him for doing so?

Why is he criticising me now for belonging to a party of my choice and the party collaborating to support a particular candidate, just as the AD did with the All Peoples Party (APP) in 1999?” The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) further pointed out that “there is no sense in what Akande was saying at all.

It is just out of bitterness; he has a penchant for rudeness and I don’t want to take him on. I am an elder statesman and all he has said are empty and meaningless.” However, Akande’s outburst raised some fundamental questions, is it true that the people he attacked are really beggars and political liabilities?

How can one refer to a former Minister of Finance and SGF as a beggar? Is Adebanjo who had made his name in property law over 40 years still a beggar? How about Fasoranti who was commissioner in the old Ondo State in the Second Republic? Political pundits believe that it is out of place for Akande to describe these elder statesmen who had traversed the political turf of the country in the last five decades as beggars.

Could Akande still remember that the same Adebanjo he referred to as a non-issue in the political turf was the chairman of AD and one of those who screened him before he was considered as the gubernatorial candidate of AD and eventually the governor of Osun-State in 2003? Perhaps the big question which political observers are asking Akande is: When has it become a crime that somebody joins the party of his choice and where he goes or who he supports at any point in time? Also, is it mandatory for everybody to belong to the same political party or share the same political ideology?

[size=15pt]It will not be out of place to say that the Afenifere bond that joined all of them together suddenly cut due to avarice, greed, deceit, ambition and personal ego. [/size]Some pundits, however, noted that if it is true that Adebanjo and his co-travellers are not political beggars as Akande called them, how are they going to justify their tour of the South-West governors in 2008, when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was in control? This action, according to political observer, was a dignified way of saying ‘please don’t forget us’.

The Yoruba leaders will not forget in a hurry how they were humiliated in Osogbo, the Osun State capital when pebbles and sachets of water were pelted on them, though they were compensated in Ogun State where Otunba Gbenga Daniel warmly welcomed them as governor. Therefore, looking at the issue from this premise, Akande may be right; after all he was on a familiar terrain, but may be lacked the right language to use.

Akande raised a fundamental question of fake Awoist. But is it by putting a round pair of glasses and donning a round cap to match that qualifies somebody as an Awoist? Or the constant visit to Ikenne, the home of the late sage, to register once presence during one social occasion or the other, makes somebody an Awoist? Or by leaving each day as if it was the last in the service to humanity, no matter how little it may be qualifies one as Awoist?

These are the numerous questions which political pundits are asking. Prof. Adebayo Williams succinctly answered these questions in his lecture delivered at the 17th annual Obafemi Awolowo lecture on march 5, 2004 in Lagos, where he lamented that majority of the so-called Awoist have abandoned the tenets, principles and ideologies left behind by the late sage.

“I am sure if Chief Awolowo were to come back today, to see the trail of deserters, the thick pall of perfidy, the surging number of apostates who shout his name in vain, the estrangement among his true followers and the stark diminution in power and status of Afenifere, he would probably observe with great sadness and characteristic forthrightness.” The scenario painted by the renowned essayist is still relevant and germane till today.

The elders should go back to the drawing board and sort things out with all sincerity and sense of purpose, as time is not on their sides.

The cold war between the leaders of Yoruba started since 2003 when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) swept the South- West excluding Lagos. The governors produced by the PDP were not seen as being part of Afenifere. With the development, Afenifere could not speak in one voice again. But soon, some leaders of the group started romancing with the new PDP governors. Then crises set in Afenifere, especially about the leadership.

The group was factionalised. The crisis led to the formation of Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG).

While Akande, former governor of Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu and others led one group, Fasoranti, Adebanjo, Falae and others lead the old Afenifere. Since then, the trio have not been in the camp of the ACN.

This explains the altercation with Akande over their political affinity.

Hehehehe, treachery and backstabbing is the typical Yoruba man's nature.

Eko Ile: ODE 5419 son of failed and disgruntled ashebe, look at the post above yours. Also, shebi the man did not deny that he prevented food aid planes from landing with food for his people unless they pay him?

By the way i will be honored to have Achebe as a father> Ask your self who your own father is? A village nobody and an impoverished illiterate area boy.
Your distraction from the issue won't work.Aid agencies paid their workers to distribute food. Ojukwu never personally collected any money.The purported blackmail letter of a paid mercenary Robert Goldstein is laughable. These are people that become your friend as long as they are milking you and try to blackmail you as soon as you grow a brain. Several other mercenaries have published books to document to that effect. Go and read a recent book "Far Away in the Sky: A Memoir of the Biafran Airlift" and see if your Golstein is a credible character.
Anyhow, the issue right now is about the genocidal child molester called awolowo. You animals want to change history that he is a beast and war criminal in spite of his heinous crimes against the children of Biafra.

Eko Ile: ODE 5419 son of failed and disgruntled ashebe, the report said nothing relating to your false title. I guessed you missed where the same report stated how ojuku denied food aid and starving you clowns....

losers

For the arrogant Yorobbers basterds trying to invent well documented history, Ojukwu was NEVER quoted as using starvation to advance his position. Instead, it is Awolowo who had proudly proclaimed the use of starvation of babies and women as his key weapon of war to pressurize Biafra into surrender. By the way, Awolowo and Gowon knew very well there was NO WAY Biafra could commit suicide and accept to open up a "demilitarized land corridor" from Enugu into the hinterland nor would Biafra accept the military escort of relief planes by Nigerian airforce into Uli airport. Nothing stops the so called "escort" from bombing the airport and it would take only a nervous Biafran anti-aircraft gunner shooting at the escort plane in error for Nigeria to justify its plan to attack the airport.Nigeria was granted the right to inspect the relief planes before they are cleared to take off, but since that didn't give them any military advantage which they sought,they rejected it claiming it didn't have enough personnel to inspect planes!!!

The genocidal war against Biafrans are also documented by eye witnesses


"[b]Nobody asked the genocidaire awo for food. All that was asked of him was to RELEASE the food sent in by many international humanitarian organizations that he had seized. Hope you are getting it now. He seized the foods sent by the International community meant for the Biafran refugees who were in more than 90% of the cases women, children and babies. This is in itself is a CRIME. A moral fault.

As if that was not enough, he stopped international NGOs from flying directly into Biafra even from the golf of guinea. This is a called a HUMANITARIAN BLOCKADE. In all modern wars, this is NOT acceptable. This is not done. Civilized human beings do not descend this low. 2M women and children and babies suffered and DIED because of this ONE awolowo admitted policy. This is a GENOCIDAL policy. That makes awolowo, Nigeria's first and only GENOCIDAIRE."

Eko Ile: Another fake news from biafra elomba website. nice try with the 419 news.

Another Yorrobber bastared, trying in vain to deny well documented facts !
The document is from a declassified US state department cable report sent from US embassy in Lagos on the Nigerian civil war situation

http://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/frus/nixon/e5/c15646.htm

berem: of course I have hated him right from the time my grandmum told me about the civil war.he keeps on saying one nigeria when he knows quite well that its a fool that believes that we are actually one! He will surely suffer for the wickedness he caused to Biafrans.

Gowon is a character that i donot know how to judge. He was generally seen during the war as an undecisive leader. It was his Vice, Awolowo that pretty much took most of the decisions.Again, Awolowo was a much older person that Gowon, so he uswed his grey hair to influence and cajole Gowon into many criminal decisions
