igbo boy: ehn let me hear word..since when are Yorubas known as honest people?
u think we will wait for ofe manus to come and say that awo died of rat poison? shame go gree una?

is it not 40 something years after the wall that the truth is now coming out that awo included Yoruba in the civil war cos he was promised presido...like this revelation do you think Yorubas will voluntary offered it?

no wonder he is called ara-wolowo

Eziachi: We are the bereaved, just that we are bystanding to the conversation of who done it among the two shooters.

Eziachi: I honestly cannot explain, because I wasn't in the army, neither any member of my family to know what Nzeogwu and his fellow junior officers did.
Why did they kill Akintola and left Awolowo? I don't know too.
The same way I have no idea why murtala was killed alone in 1976 and Obasanjo was left standing. I don't know why Bako lost his life when they came in 1984.
I have no idea why Gideon Orka and others pencilled down a certain people. You know why I don't know? Military coup has always been a military affair and always would be.
Don't always pretend that you know because it satisfies what you would love to believe.

bashr8: no but we cant boast of fighting local champions like yorubas but we can boast of fighting combine nations in the civil war plus 30 years war with british invaders. nothing the yorubas know of or have experienced.

Like Adolf Hitler, he has made Yorubas the scapegoat and told Igbos to attack Yorubas as Hitler told Germans to attack Jews. He has managed to tell Igbos that they are superior to Yorubas.

The next item on the psychopath's agenda is to get Igbos to go to war with Nigerians whom they feel superior to.

Germans felt superior to Russians and believed that they would win any war with those they called sub-human beings and take over their lands (see Hitler's foreign policy of lebensraum, taking Russian lands; the policy was articulated in his book, Mein Kampf).

The Russians whipped German asses real good.

If Igbos go to war with Yorubas or Hausas under the paranoid delusion of their superiority to those two groups, those two would whip Igbo asses real good, as Germans asses were whipped by so-called inferior Russians.

If a people behave as fools folks will see them as a fool; Igbos increasingly behave like fools. Therefore, those people who call them fools are merely being descriptive, not pejorative.

And when you point out their obvious stupidity suddenly they become mental health professionals and label you with psychiatry terms that they have no clue what they mean!

Igbos are a trip, I tell you; they are a nightmare one has to wake up from!

bashr8: what do all these people have in common? yes they are politicians or are using stolen nigerian funds , besides igbos alone make up 40 percent of top richest nigerians and igboland have the least poverty and least illiteracy out of all the regions in nigeria. yorubas have nothing to boast of except free oil money coming from the nigeria delta and being lucky of having the former capital of nigeria lagos, every other part of yorubaland is worst than chad and somali.

ak47mann: the reason why we are in UN to make sure every biafran properties in Lagos will be protected,or else you sell your property and move on,they cant torch it because lagos is cosmopolitanism state Hausa have their investment same as SS too so nigeria will be no more by then and one tribe cant fight Hausa, berom, ijaw, uhrobo, etc that will be dead wrong if they dear,we are not fighting war we are going to negotiate our boundaries and investment because they should no oil wells in biafraland will still be shared if they comply,but if they act silly properties is nothing compare to resources we have underneath, we can buy it back times 10 that is not a big deal even we can turn our towns and villages to Dubai in no time we have the money

y me: Gbam at the bolded
The rate at which that mentality is spreading is quite depressing
and to think I made myself believe because alot of women are getting educated and fending for themselves it will reduce the high dependence on a man but boi was I wrong

2mch: People in PH are more vicious against Igbo's than the SW. The SW is the only place they have peace.

phreakabit: If you teach me how to scam like you, maybe I will answer your questions.

phreakabit: This coming from a fugitive fraudster? Impressive!

phreakabit: An entire nation + allies against an ethnic group, and yet it took you lot 3 years to squash?! LOL! If I were you guys, I wouldn't be bragging right now. Better to go down a brave man. . . Than to play second fiddle and subordinates to a fellow man.

2mch: A war general afraid to die. What an irony. The self appointed king of Biafra became a deserter. I doubt if the guy even fought. Only threw propaganda and hid behind the shorts of young Igbo boys, while enjoying underaged Igbo girls.

When Biafra's military resistance collapsed, [size=28pt]Ojukwu fled to Côte d'Ivoire[/size].

Efiong assumed leadership in this situation of turmoil, starvation, and collapse. He became Head of State of Biafra on 8 January 1970 and on 12 January announced surrender.[1]

At the time of the surrender, Efiong believed that the situation was hopeless and that prolonging the conflict would have led only to the further destruction and starvation of the people of Biafra. At that time Effiong said, "I am convinced now that a stop must be put to the bloodshed which is going on as a result of the war. I am also convinced that the suffering of our people must be brought to an immediate end."[1]

Nnaemeka L. Aneke wrote, "General Efiong’s handling of Biafra’s surrender is one of the most tactical and devoted maneuvers ever seen on the Nigerian scene. Those who do not appreciate the depth of it may not have appreciated what was at stake as Biafra capitulated."[2] Many observers had expected wholesale retribution at war's end.
[edit]

Later life


In a 1996 interview, Efiong reflected on those events:

I have no regrets whatsoever of my involvement in Biafra or the role I played. The war deprived me of my property, dignity, my name. Yet, I saved so many souls on both sides and by this, I mean Biafra and Nigeria. . . .

I felt that I played a role which has kept this country united till today. . . .

At the end of it all when I saw they (Biafran soldiers) could no longer continue and [size=28pt]Ojukwu had fled[/size], I did what was ideal after wide consultation . . . [2]

Efiong died 6 November 2003, at the age of 78 less than two weeks before his 79th birthday.

ronkebp: It will always be the men's cross when they leave responsible women to go with leeches, they will not have a choice but to pay for their hair, and other commodities with high price tags....do you have a choice than to deep your hands in your pockets and pay or get dumped by these leeches? so no need to complain, it is a world you have created, deal with it and stop whining.

ronkebp: And it is not the men, that says ""oh, i don't want my wife to work, i can take care of all her needs" and when the needs become overwhelming, they start to cry.... just like the one that just found out his wife never went to the higher institution and still got married to her, because he has paid 800k for c-section, he is crying now.....abegiii, until when men learn how to control their "kongi and pockets" things will auger well.

ronkebp: Where else if not from the men? the men started this nonsense "paying and bribing their way up...and even down too'...so the women have seen easy ticket to everlasting feeding and showoff.

Tgirl4real: What you mentioned is now the order of the day. In the real sense of it, they are not our daughters. They are our colleagues, neighbors, and sometimes friends.

We mothers should endeavour to train our daughters up in a manner that will not bring disgrace to us in the future.
