Shortly afterward, a detachment of soldiers led by Captain Emmanuel Nwobosi arrived at Akintola’s residence. Upon sighting the soldiers, Akintola opened fire – lightly wounding a few of them including Capt Nwobosi. After bravely fighting for his life and engaging the soldiers in a gunfight, Akintola was shot dead by Nwobosi and his men.

DaLover:
there may be no differnce when you look at it from the surface, but when you observe that such behaviour are rampant amongst certain groups of people, it calls for concern

DaLover:
its really easy to understand y the average yourba man would attack Ojukwus bold attempt to secure a better deal for his people, there exist an innate desire to defend cowardic behaviours displayed by their generals, Remember diya and co kneeling down and begging, crying, this is certainly not a one off thing, for all you know it may be genetic,

Killing him was best for the country. the creature is primative at best and regressive at most.

That armed to the teeth nonsense is a stupidd move i tell you.

When they attack your kids in their school or on the way to school, What use is your armed to the teeth?
When they attack your wife in the market, What use is the armed to the teeth?
When they attack you in your sleep what use is the armed to the teeth?
The People that were attacked in their place or worship. You mean they should carry weapons to church?
How does armed to the teeth protect you from bombs or suicide bombers?

Most Ibos killed in the North do you think they gave them warnings before they struck?
Best thing is Go to your towns and cities

Igala can wake up in 2050 and chase you away just like Ikwerres have done but no one would chase you from your Anambra or Orlu or Arochukwu your papa land

My first house would be built in my state

Onlytruth:
I have always told my Igbo brothers that the myth of land scarcity in Igboland is nothing more than a MYTH. We have ABUNDANT land in Igboland, from Abakaliki all the way to Agbor.
If any Igbo wants to be really secure in his land, there are only TWO ways to go about it.

(1) Stay within the boundaries of Igboland where there is abundance of land
or
(2) Go to any part of Nigeria to develop your properties ARMED TO THE TEETH and be prepared to fight and die there.
We must be realistic.

By the time we FULLY embrace these two options, I can assure you that either these types of offers would die a natural death, or we would NEVER AGAIN hear of "abandoned property" in any part of Nigeria.
