Politics / Re: If Obi Had Won, We Would Be Fighting A Religious War By Now by danvon(m): 4:52pm On Feb 02 |
Atleast 50% of the soldiers in Nigeria are Muslims so where would Peter Obi get the soldiers from? It's more possible for a Muslim Muslim leader to start a religious war than a leader with little power. Peter Obi would have been another Aguiyi Ironsi, pandering desperately to the North and East until they finally kill him. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Their madness should just remain abroad, thank God for Muslim Muslim ticket, if our president or vice president was a Christian I know the bombings that these mad terrorists would have unleashed by now... but it's a Muslim in power so they keep quiet, they can't play the "we are oppressed for our religion card". 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Politics / Opinion: Tinubu The Revolutionary? by danvon(m): 10:33am On Jan 26 |
Everybody in Nigeria wants change for the better, but the problem has always been rooted in the system. Everybody wants to change the system but the question is "who will bell the cat?" Changing the system is a risky business, everybody wants change but nobody likes change, a man who tries to change his society would always risk being hated and demonized, only when the fruits of his change have become clear would he be respected (and even then he could still be hated)... The military leaders in Nigeria understood this very well and the wise ones usually tried not to upset the balance too much, the few that did usually ended up dead... In China, Mao Zedong really messed up the country with his Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward, his predecessor Deng Xiaoping began undoing Mao terrible policies but very delicately made it look like he wasn't changing anything and like he was even promoting Mao's policies. That brings us to the present, Tinubu is the first democratic leader to make rapid changes in the country in such a short time, from ending subsidy to reforming the police, now shifting CBN... These are policies that most democratic leaders would never think of, they would talk about it but would never do it, especially in such a rapid pace... The problem is when people think of a revolutionary, they imagine an unkempt bushy faced man, screaming from the fringes, but when you check leaders who had more impact on their societies they are usually far from this picture... Tinubu might just be the change Nigeria always wanted but only time would tell. |

aswani: Lol cherry picking, please respond to the other points... They should be responded together Again if the Midwest saw Biafrans as enemies, what is wrong with the actions of Biafran soldiers? Muritala and his partner Taiwo would order Asaba Massacre... Adekunle would order 'shoot anything that moves' By comparison it seems the Biafrans were very lenient to their 'enemies'. |

This is actually very bad for the people... This kind of factories usually have very very terrible managers, if you work there you would be treated like a piece of shit... Why? Because they know they can replace you in less than 24 hours, if you get tired and quit there are thousands lining up to take your place. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

aswani: You seem to be contradicting yourself If the Midwest wasn't neutral as you claim, then explain what was wrong with the invasion, if Nigeria could attack Biafra why is it wrong to attack Nigeria in turn? If they saw Biafrans as enemies why should Biafra not equally see them and treat them as enemies... The only reason why the invasion of Midwest could be wrong was if they were neutral, in that case Biafra would be invading a neutral people without provocation... Saying it wasn't a surprise attack would imply that Nigerian officers completely gambled the Midwest...for what exactly? Because they feared Ojukwu? Explain what you meant by Banjo cleared up? Could you mean backstabbing Biafrans? You keep going back and forth in your quotes it's not linear. |
Politics / Stop Comparing Ibadan With Gaza by danvon(m): 3:07pm On Jan 17 |
This is just sick, sick and irritating A tragedy just happened and the first thing people do is use it score to some cheap ethno-religious agenda... Nobody talked about Ukraine, nobody talked about South sudan here in Africa... It is Gaza they are comparing it to Did Ibadan people blow up and invade anybody? Are they in full support of some violent genocidal militia? Most of them were living a peaceful and quiet life until happened, only a sick mind would even bring such comparison... Some people are truly disgusting in Nigeria 1 Like |

maivd: Muritala Mohammed was the chief of signals based in Lagos, Ty Danjuma was Aguiyi Ironsi scribe and a member of Aguiyi Ironsi personal guard, it is not a sign of genius to kill someone who actually trusted you and placed you in a very key position, it doesn't require bravery or skill to kill disarmed officers knowing fully well you surround them 100 to 1... wickedness doesn't equal tactics or strategy... When actual war came, Officers like Obasanjo and Colonel Shuwa who tried to prevent bloodshed actual performed far better as war leaders than the likes of Muritala Mohammed. If he was the leader there would have been far less support for Nigeria |
Politics / Re: Reno Omokri Tutors A Fan On Biafria War by danvon(m): 11:37am On Jan 17 |
maivd: Muritala Mohammed was actually mercilessly defeated at Onitsha invasion, if he was the president Biafra would have won, (Britain would not even support Nigeria) Gowon would rule Nigeria for 9 years whereas Muritala would rule for 6 months that tells you a lot. A mercenary can never ever be compared with an actual professional soldier, mercenaries fight purely for money therefore when they fight they don't fight to die, they only fight against weaker does. |
Politics / Re: Reno Omokri Tutors A Fan On Biafria War by danvon(m): 11:30am On Jan 17 |
aswani: Saying Gowon demilitarized the Midwest would imply they had weapons in the first place, most of the weapons were fully concentrated in Lagos and by extent in the hands of Northerners... Gowon main expectation was a swift surrender of Biafra he didn't expect an attack on Lagos because it was a bad move politically and he expected Ojukwu to do everything to regain his lost capital Enugu, the attack on Lagos was a surprise attack... The Midwest was a neutral region therefore they weren't really enemies and they wouldn't have given Banjo much trouble if he chose to attack Lagos, only he halted too long, squandering all the elements of surprise. |

yommen: Nigeria struck first, Nigeria struck the capital of Biafra which was Enugu (which was a good decision) Ojukwu had only one chance to reverse the tide and that was if he could capture Lagos the capital of Nigeria in a surprise attack, from a political point of view it was a bad idea from a pressured military point of view it was genius, the only issue was who would lead the campaign, most of the officers in the east were inexperienced the experienced ones were killed in the pogroms, the only experienced officers he had were those who participated in the January coup (the coup he helped to stop) so obviously they weren't on good terms, plus coup plotters can't be trusted they are inherently disloyal .... so he picked Banjo because he was Yoruba which was good for politics, next he had experience, thirdly he wasn't directly implicated in the coup, picking Banjo showed how detribalized Ojukwu was... but Banjo had moves of his own, he intentionally delayed the Lagos attack, losing all the element of surprise, also arrested several Biafran soldiers while giving Nigeria just enough time to plan a ruthless counter attack... Eventually Banjo, Ifeajuna and Ojukwu's brother in law would be sentenced to death. Despite the impartiality of the verdict you guys still try to bring tribalism involved, if Ojukwu could sentence his own brother in law who was working with Banjo, what makes you think Banjo was so innocent. 1 Like |

The same Obasanjo supported Peter Obi and his people condemned him for that. So it's safe to say Obasanjo doesn't represent Yoruba tribe, FFK even called him an Igbo man. He forgot to mention the series of event that made Obasanjo placed there to begin with A Yoruba man "Adekunle" despite his ruthless tactics superior manpower and superior weapons could never capture owerri and he even ended up losing owerri, so Gowon reasonably replaced him with a more cool headed Yoruba man. |

Politics / Re: Lagos Demolition And Igbo Community: Matters Arising by danvon(m): 8:10pm On Dec 17, 2023 |
You need to understand that Yorubas are one of the most sophisticated and educated tribe in Nigeria (atleast at the higher level) and this is more true in Lagos. The way educated people oppress is very very different from how light minded people oppress, light minded people will make it super obvious they are oppressing you but sophisticated people act differently they can oppress you and you won't even know your being oppressed, you might even think they are kind to you. Lagos state government will obviously not say they are demolishing Igbo properties (they are too smart for that) instead will claim they are demolishing illegal properties... But 'illegal' fully depends on who is in power, alcohol can be illegal or legal depending on the decision by those in power. In conclusion they are demolishing illegal properties but those properties have been in Lagos for atleast a decade why did they suddenly become illegal and why the swift urgency without much time to demolish it? |
