₦airaland Forum

gboss4sure: My Joy is that one day I will come back to this forum to laugh at all the yoruobas and their one Nigeria and by that time they will be wanting to break away also but their master from the north won't let them.

I never hated any yoruba till I came to this forum and I have seen how they show their cowardice and back bite. I rather trust a northerner than trust a youroba man

You know what?

Tell us how betrayal started in this country or try and tell us how Igbos planned a coup to kill all regional leaders and spare theirs

Maybe you can provide an explanation for it

Daily Trust a Northern newspaper wrote a piece and some dolts still found a way to Blame the ACN for this?

solomon111: I am sure you know biafra is much bigger than that.

Biafra is a Igbo thing and the Igbos should only pull out their own area only and leave other parts alone including the SS.

The SS would form their own independent country whenever they want to.

Whats the Igbo obsession with SS? Cant thy go on their own?

Blame it on Konji

Biafra can go as long as they dont take anything that doesnt belong to them

Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi and Abia shikena.

Also all Biafrans should withdrwa from other people territory back into their landlocked country.

You cant eat your cake and have it

Best thing have a joint account where you both contribute into and also have separate accounts

Let your wife go and get a job and the money for daycare should be contributed by both.

When both of you contribute to the upkeep of the family after the family is done whatever she has left from her own salary she can send to her mom

Simple.

Thats a lesson for those who believe in importing wives from Village. who would turn to financial burden later on

Retardeen Jonathan has obviously not learnt from the misadventure in Edo state

Iveanyi: ^ ^ ^
I did not set out to establish the real cause of the war. I tried to correct the impression that Ojukwu declared war on Nigeria. These are two different things entirely.

Now can you enlighten us on what you describe as the real cause of the war and provide any justification for killing other regional leaders and sparing theirs that most Igbo commentators have been doing since 1966

Rossikk: You're a complete ignoramus and cretin to make this statement.

Instead of you to go and pick up some books and read and learn, you're here typing rubbish.

Dont be hard on him, Dende is a mor0n. Abi which woman go born normal pikin name am Dende. He was deformed from birth

The stupidity of Igbos is legendary.

Azikwe was lucky to escape, Okpara in Enugu was lucky to escape, Osadebey in Benin was lucky to escape, All the Igbo Federal ministers in Lagos were lucky to escape, Ironsi was lucky to escape, All the Igbo military leaders who dominated the army were all lucky to escape

But none of the targetted non Igbos was lucky enough to escape.

Tell that porkies to the marines.

How come Tinubu is being held responsible for what grown up governors do? If Aregbesola doesnt sleep its Tinubu, If Fashola beats his wife, Its Tinubu, If Ajimobi doesnt keep his campaign promises Its Tinubu.

LUTH doesnt work its Tinubu, NEPA doesnt work its Tinubu, Flood in Nigeria its Tinubu, Boko Haram strikes Maiduguri its Tinubu

When some people cant get errection its Tinubu

Dollarman101: Ithe OP has a point in what he is saying, nobody will pay him attention because they are blinded by what they see. If you visitVisit Luth you will understand what this dude is saying. You will see dead bodies been rolled away every hour like chickens from a poultry due to lack of medical attention and facilities, you will hear screams and cries of patients that are not attended to for days. I pray that God opens the eyes of people to see clearly.

And How is LUTH a Lagos State Fashola or Tinubu problem?

^^ You see that I didnt even respond to him in kind cos if I did he would start crying that the response was more than the initial action Typical of Ibo

toba: u're right. Just as we dont have facts that the over spending by Jonathan in 2011 was public fund. 'tinubu was a good governor and Jonathan is doing well too'

Tinubu hasnt held any public post for 5yrs but in his time when he was Givernor denied funds by OBJ he did the best anyone in that shoes would have done. He laid the foundation for the Lagos Fashola is building now

Every development in Lagos now, we owe to Tinubus foresight.

On Jonathan. How much did he meet in National coffers including the excess crude account at 2010, How much in the account by end of 2011? What happened to the money? How much was National debt before he became President how much is it now?

tomakint: you are still smoking that 'thing', clearly you failed the reality check on this debate. you are debating from the angle of a rightist with a special hatred for the main subject (the igbos)! incase you dont know, the igbos have been vindicated now.

Of course Igbos have been vindicated that they can kill other peoples leaders and get away with it. Isn't it?

Special hatred? Oh So you expect others to hand over bouquets to those who killed their leaders? OK Next time your neighbors come and waste every leader in your family, send out bouquet to them and a Thank you letter to go with it.

This so called Tinubu birthday. Does anyone have facts that he collected money from Governors?

If he collected money from Governors did he collect it under duress?

How come Tinubu is being held responsible for what grown up governors do? If Aregbesola doesnt sleep its Tinubu, If Fashola beats his wife, Its Tinubu, If Ajimobi doesnt keep his campaign promises Its Tinubu

Ranting of jobless people.

Are you insinuating that Fashola a grown ass man cant handle Lagos on his own?

How come its this devil Tinubu that brought this angel Fashola into power?

joeyfire: Nowa omogui's article is 30 percent truth and 70 percent lies. He is the only source on earth of information on so called biafran atrocities. His articles will be gobbled up by lazy bigots but people who really want the truth will look deeper. There's no honour in lying against your "enemy"

We know typical Igbo everyone else lied you are the ones who tell the truth Just like Okpara, Azikwe, Osadebey were very upright and angelic men while Bello, Balewa, AKintola, Maimalari were the devil and the corrupt ones.

Or Maybe you care to tell us about what happened why other leaders were killed and yours was spared? or what happened in the Invasion of the Midwest. The Biafran soldiers were probably walking in a straight line and spraying roses and coffetti on the Midwesterners

The rebel occupation force instituted a government headed by Major Albert Okonkwo who was appointed administrator on August 17, 1967 by the secessionist leader colonel Odumegwe Ojukwu, Okonkwo administration lasted six weeks from August 9 to September 20, 1967 during which period the policies and activities of the rebel army deeply antagonized the non-Igbo speaking people of the state

Like I said the problem with you Igbos is that you think you are smart and everyone else is foolish. I hope you have learnt from the Biafra misadventure, If not the lesson can be re-taught till you get the message

^^ Mistakes of the past especially killing other peoples leaders and sparing yours shouldnt be repeated

tomakint: @ Dayokanu, I am sure you know the meaning of nemesis, my Bible calls it the ‘Law of Retribution’ the Buddhist call it ‘Law of Karma’, if you look at your Nigeria of today you will see the Igbos have been vindicated and from all indications of what is happening in Nigeria of today, “It is clearly written in the sky now that Ojukwu is the clear HERO while Gowon (Mr Go On With One Nigeria) and his ‘gangs are the clear VILLAINS in the Nigerian Civil War”! I have read many books and articles on the war and I have come to realise that there are many hearsays yet to be documented on the war that I have heard from many people who actually took part in the war that makes my heart melt. I have heard from some unscrupulous elements on this forum that no Igbo were killed in Yorubaland which are all lies, the truth is, many Igbos who were trapped in many Yoruba land shortly after the war started were massively killed or betrayed into the hands of Nigerian troops, it was that diabolical. I doubt if you have ‘human blood’ flowing in your veins when you pick up any book on the war and see the gory details of the war towards innocent lives. I can see you grinning cheek to cheek as your trigger-happy Brigadier Benjamin Adekunle (a man you so much love to be like) with his AK-47 spraying anything called ‘Biafrans’ (be they toddlers, pregnant and nursing women, babies, helpless youths) with his bullets. My question to you is; “Where are your ‘warriors’ today and look at the same breed (The Igbos) you love to hate today?

I am sure every Igbo after 1970 knows what the Law of Karma is and you are simply preaching to the choir here.

Law of Karma is when you kill other peoples leaders and they come back and wipe out your whole generation.

I also didnt know "innocent lives" is a phrase reserved for Igbos alone, I didnt know that Balewa, Okotie-Eboh, Akintola, Maimalari and Bello were "guilty lives" that deserve to be wasted. Well we got the memo on January 15 1966 and responded appropriately.

And the message is clear now, Kill our people and we would wipe out your whole city. We dont joke around. Especially when all your leaders were "lucky" to escape and ours didnt escape

Whatever you said was done to Igbos in the SouthWest. was first done to others by Igbos in the Midwest read Nowa Omoguis account "Outright molestation, harassment and killing of non-Ibo civilians occurred on a daily basis. At night "suspected saboteurs" were fished out of their homes and arrested.". That was where Karma came into it and gave Adekunle the rifle and the knowledge to perform the collateral damage.

Where are the Igbos today? Well they are still scattered all over the country when their own caves have been inhabitable with as high as 73% poverty in places like Ebonyi

Like Yorubas say. Eni ti o ba gbin ebu ika, Omo omo re a ja nibe. Whoever sows the seed of wickedness(killing other peoples leaders) his great grand children would eat thereof

tomakint: is this part of the dop3 you are selling off your cell phone? dayokanu get well soon you are definitely sick!

I wish you good health also. and in case you want some dop3 too let me knw

Retaliation was in response to an earlier action which other leaders were killed in their bedrooms we have advised others to get over.

Let Igbos too get over the civil war and quit whining about it.

We have gotten over the killing of Bello, Balewa, Akintola, Okotie-Eboh, maimalari etc Let them get over the killing of 3m people too

And what public post was Tinubu holding when he had his birthday celebration

^^ You wrote all that and left the real cause of the war.

The january 15 1966 coup. Which is typical with most Igbo commentators. No one would explain what happened why other regional leaders were killed and Igbo leaders were spared

joeyfire: Bros, some of the people of ore may have fled but at least we know that the traditional leadership received Banjo and there were (as far as I know) NO killings or atrocities of any kind. If biafra intended to occupy they would have committed evil while they were on ground.

As for biafran troops probably having to kill yoruba soldiers en route to lagos my answer is they would have had to kill NIGERIAN soldiers of yoruba ethnicity. No shaking for that one. The bone of contention for me is that biafran troops indeed entered NIGERIAN soil en route to the seat of power and conducted themselves in a manner that showed they were not after yoruba lives. The army of bigots on NL know its true. I challenge anyone to prove this

How did the Biafra troops conduct themselves in the Midwest when they invaded? Lets hear from a son of the Midwest Nowa Omoiguis account

With the announcement of Major Okonkwo's appointment as Military Administrator, Midwest, came the imposition of a dusk to dawn curfew and other measures consistent with martial law. Only individuals with passes could move freely at night. The administrative machinery of the civil service was manipulated to empower those who supported the invasion (or were trusted) rather than the traditional seniority based hierarchy. Mr. Agbajor (an Itsekiri police officer who had escaped from a northern hit squad at Makurdi in September 1966) became Chief of Police. Mr. Esedebe (Midwest Ibo) functioned as Head of Service.

Some military officers then persuaded a number of traditional rulers in the Ibo-speaking areas of the state to sign petitions calling for a merger with their "kith and kin" in the east. Local Governments across the board were mandated to donate materials for transportation to Enugu to assist in the War effort. Salt was rationed because of its presumably more important use as a raw material for explosives. Because of the cutoff of northern sources of cattle, meat became scarce. Shortages of other essential commodities also developed. As might be expected, not everyone was equally affected by the shortages, creating yet another sore point (among many) for ethnic resentment.

Outright molestation, harassment and killing of non-Ibo civilians occurred on a daily basis. At night "suspected saboteurs" were fished out of their homes and arrested. The Hausa community in the Lagos street area of Benin and other parts of the state were targeted for particularly savage treatment, in part a reprisal for the pogroms of 1966, but also out of security concerns that they would naturally harbor sympathies for the regime in Lagos. But non-Hausas were just as badly treated. And as the hostility of the local population became more intense, so did the degree of indiscrete brutality for "internal security". Non-Ibo alumni of St. Patrick's College, Asaba and Government College, Ughelli, found to their chagrin that old school ties meant nothing in the new dispensation (17).

Radio broadcasts "educated" the public about the role of 'gallant' Biafran troops who had only come to liberate them from the "bondage of the feudal Hausa-Fulani oligarchy". An economic cooperation agreement was announced between the 'independent' states of Biafra and the Midwest. The truth, though, was that Ojukwu retained authority to approve all expenditures made by the Okonkwo regime and it was not until September 13th that normal postal, telephone and telegraphic services between Biafra and the Midwest were resumed (15). Counter-propaganda was indeed launched by federal radio, which appealed to the citizens of the state for loyalty and cooperation.

In this atmosphere, civil resistance and disobedience germinated, predominantly among non-Ibos. But a few Midwest Ibo-speaking soldiers and civilians did become leery about the invasion and felt the 'interference' from "across the Niger" was getting out of hand. On the other side of this opinion divide was the powerful, so-called "Enugu clique", eager to share in the destiny of the corporate Ibo nation (14). Such ambiguous sensitivities and antipathies within and between "western" and "eastern" Ibos have always existed. Long after the civil war, for example, it even affected negotiations about the creation of a proposed Anioma state (18)
