Uduaghan is definitely the worst governor to grace the Nigerian political landscape

How is the 50m striker doing right now?

Benjamin Adekunle would have useful in this case

"[size=18pt]I want see no Red Cross, no caritas, no World Council of Churches, no pope, no missionaey and no United Nations delegation. I want to prevent even one Igbo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves and when our troops march into the center of Igbo territory, we shoot at everything even at things that don't move[/size]"

Kaduna ACN sounds like Aboki MEND to me

Beaf:
This is by far the saddest bit of the article. How can a nation so blessed see its riches cornered by a few greedy and corrupt bastar'ds?

Stuff like that makes me lean toward outright removal of the oil subsidy. Firstly, lets understand that "oil subsidy" means many things, but boils down to paying people to import fuel that is refined abroad, while destroying the refineries at home.

It is noteworthy, that in their times, IBB and Abacha built personal refineries in Ivory Coast, Benin Republic and Sierra Leone, so that they could benefit from the "oil subsidy."

Isnt the President Odechukwu Retardeen desribed by Australian Magazines as Blinged up?

Prime Minister Julia Gillard found herself greeting the much [size=18pt]bejewelled[/size] and marvellously named Goodluck Jonathan, President of Nigeria, and his friends.

Just tell her

I am begining to find aloy-emeka sexier than you

How is Murtala comparable to the Sardauna of Sokoto

Direct lineage of Dan Fodio a traditional, Spiritual and Political leader of the North?

ezeagu:
I wouldn't know the difference.

Both men are men of valour who didnt run from the battle ground or from challenges to Abidjan

Maybe we should judge your people based on the actions of

Nzeogwu killed Bello, Ifeajuna killed Balewa, Nwobosi killed Akintola, Anuforo killed Okotie-Eboh, Tim Onwuategwu killed Ademulegun and his wife in bed

Dont mistake Benjamin Adekunle for Adekunle Fajuyi 2 different people

Fajuyi died with Irosi, Black Scorpion is still alive

I know you hardly talk about Biafra or the war

ezeagu:
Uhm, just in case you didn't know, any annexing would have been the decision of Col. Ojukwu backed by his Efik second in command Philip Effiong. Cross River was part of Biafra till the end from what I know as history. How is any of this related to "ethnic cleansing" in Cross River by the Igbo? What's the highest position a Cross River person holds in Nigeria today? Oh, let me guess, "I'd rather be completely marginalised by random strangers hundreds of miles away than be possibly ethnically cleansed by the Igbo, who have been living side-by-side by me for millennia and have never ethnically cleansed my people". See what happens when you listen to randomants?

(I really hate when people act like their communities didn't once support Biafra, like it was just an Igbo thing.)

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=807389.msg9660597#msg9660597

Men are supposed to stand for what they believe in not the I hardly talk about the war or Biafra" lines when you are all over the topic

I guessed thats the reason Ojuku too decided to skip town when things got too tough. Or fight for Biafra today, Contest for Nigerian president tomorrow

Andre Uweh:
Dimka and co coupists came from Benue Plateau region. They even murdered that boy-what's his name again?-Murtala Mohammed, yet there was no genocide carried out in the middle belt.
It so shameful that people now lack ideas in nairaland.

Anyone can choose to do whatever they like.

I slapped Uche and he smiled dosnt mean if I slap Audu he should smile too

If they didnt revenge Murtala death by Dimka doesnt mean someone wouldnt avenge another leaders death

Sardauna Bello is the Premier of the North the Political and Spiritual leader

I guess some people are not really that smart to start with

CyberG:
. I ask you one question: [size=18pt]Did you ever see the raw video of what the Soviets did to Berlin in WW II?[/size] That can only be done when your intention is to completely annihilate everything human beings, buildings, everything - not just kill a few and take prisoners. Did you know that even the Nazis would rather be captured by the Americans than fall into the hands of the Soviets? Death was almost sure either way but have you seen a person killed so hard there is nothing left? Please, for goodness sake, let us leave all this trouble behind.

I asked the same question to some people who taught war was a video game.

Why are the Soviet generals not arraigned for war crimes like the nazi leaders in Nurnberg

Pedophile recognize pedophile

read what Effiong had to say about Ojuku

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.

The b1nch fled the war front and left the populace to die

What a shame to war generals.

God bless Effiong a true general who waited not the biatch who fled

donclemo:
This Thread shows how many of you are ignorant or know little about the Nigerian Biafran war. Asked your self this questions What caused the war? do you know many Easterners were massacred and thrown into the benue river anyway my post is not to debate whether Ojukwu was good or bad in fact if the Us had faced what Northern and the part of Nigerian faced it would have been a different story and besides their secession was kind of based on who had slaves to pick cotton and who didn't

And what led to these killings?

or the Northerners just woke up one day that they want to start killing Ibos?

Revenge is never equal in life.

because You killed someones leader doesnt mean they should kill your own leader too, they can choose anyone in your tribe.

If John raped james sister, Would the law say James should rape Johns sister back?

if you kick me in the groin, I can either punch you in the face, bite you, break bottle on your head or do whatever pleases me

Dont start the first act cos you cant control or dictate the return action

When Al qaeda bombed WTC, Why didnt US too tell them to present some choice buildings in Afghanistan to be bombed in retaliation?

When they killed about 2,000 Americans why didnt America too kill the exact same numbers of Afghans back?

This is not Mathematics where there must be an equality sign

Yebariba swagga swaggaa

The war started the moment some Ibo soldiers decided to kill other leaders and spare theirs

Some would say does the act represent all Ibos? but sorry thats the way the world is

if you have a bad child he would one day put the whole family in trouble

A group of men killed Archduke Ferdinand and that led to the First world war which killed Millions of people. Do those few groups represent everyone NO

A few Al Qaeda men bombed America and that led to the death of thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan. Do those few Al qaeda represent the wish of all Iraqis and Afghans? NO But everyone suffered for it

Ironsi another Ibo had the time and opprtunity to correct it but he ignored and the consequence is war

Nzeogwu killed Bello, Ifeajuna killed Balewa, Nwobosi killed Akintola, Anuforo killed Okotie-Eboh, Tim Onwuategwu killed Ademulegun and his wife in bed

"I want see no Red Cross, no caritas, no World Council of Churches, no pope, no missionaey and no United Nations delegation.

I have a feeling you were born retardeed or was did you acquire it over time?

Quoting Oyb

i swear it sucks to have so few heroes that you have to celebrate a coward who abandoned ship

i wonder what it says about the people who celebrate him

perhaps they too would run and leave their families to the tender mercies of vandals and robbers?

According to oyb

i swear it sucks to have so few heroes that you have to celebrate a coward who abandoned ship

i wonder what it says about the people who celebrate him

perhaps they too would run and leave their families to the tender mercies of vandals and robbers?

And Odechuwu still managed to look extremely reetarded in those pictures again

A runaway biatch

Which soldier runs in the front of war and allows the enemy to ravages his people

Warlord who ran away to Abidjan

What a coward

Does it matter if you declared it or you carried it out?

Ok I get you If I dont declare it but I carry it out I am not guilty?

freepeople:
Thank you my dear. How I wish to get more of people like you from our Yoruba neighbour. Gen. Stanley McChrystal was relieved of his duty when he made a less offensive comment. I'm appalled that an educated and proud tribe as Yorubas did not distance themselves from such comment. Is this an example of Yoruba hypocrisy? It is well documented that many mass graves were unearthed after Biafran forces retook Owerri from Adekunle forces. I think you understands the issue at stake. Adekunle is never a great military tactician. How come the ill-equipped Biafran forces were able to seize the control of Owerri from him? His comment is genocidal in nature. [size=18pt]I would rather die than surrender to a war criminal like adekunle[/size]. It would be the turn of another ethnic group to experience the Igbo style of ordeal. Nigeria has no future if people can condone such comment.

Thank you jare, AT least you would have the decency to die and not run away to Abidjan like one war lord we all know.

Have the Americans distanced themselves from those who bombed Hiroshima and nagasaki?

have the Soviets distanced themselves from the commanders of the troops that invaded Berlin?

@Moderator,

Several thread making mockery of Awolowo and other leaders made it to the front page of NL. I see no reason why Ojukwus own should be left out.

I also have issues with the way Ojukwus commited suicide threads were taken down when the Awolowo suicide threads survived for over 2yrs on this same NL without anyone b1tching about it. But I see that you have addressed them in the previous page

I guess whenever its time for Ibos to wear the shoe on the other foot they now remember how much it pains.

Anyone that is angry should suck it up or at worst open Awolowo threads and no one would complain

This country is badd walahi

Despite all the evidence produced by beaf and pointB they still didnt convict Tinubu

This is injustice . even the numerous account numbers and scanned document Beaf published on the pages of NL

Now Let Ondo, Delta and Kogi fall to ACN
