If an Igbo Man is Adam therefore a Hausa Man must have been God

An unwarranted analogy concocted by a retarded stream of thought.

Gamine:
@topic

These Igbo people can take things too far, Adam was Igbo now? ok

A typical and rather idiotic response instigated by inherent desire to hate anything with Igbo originality.

The last time I checked, even mere hypothesis are works of men.

@Becomrich

With all due respect, there shall be no inch of Igbo land that will be included in your dreamt and conjectural nonsense termed Republic of Benin. To avoid a war, you had better dreamed a reasonable and acceptable bounded Republic of Benin than you have been posting.

Besides one or two individuals listed as the members of the so-called “CHANGE NIGERIA”, the rest of members are prime time comedians or outright jokers. How could one Alani Akinrinade talk about national conference after 42 years of laying down his life fighting for a dilapidated one-Nigeria?

He stood bye and watched as Ndigbo were massacred in Asaba in 1967 when he served in 2nd Division. He was in Calaber as a sector commander and personally commanded the 15th Brigade of 3MCDO at Bonny. I guess he should have known better.

I would have, at least, listened to what the group has to discuss about dilapidated Nigeria if individuals such as Lt. Col. Ayo Ariyo and Wole Soyinka were members of the group.

Anything short of disintegration of the colonial contraption called Nigeria amounts to silly and misguided jokes.

Kobojunkie:
INEC did not declare Obi the winner in 2003, but his Opponent was declared winner by INEC.

Not necessarily! Not sure why he would need that considering the people’s past and the fact that the majority seem more willing to accept the status quo rather than step up to fight the system. I am not sure why anyone would expect that the ONLY reason why any candidate can decide to go to the courts to contest election results fairly is if that candidate has the people’s go ahead to do so.

The courts did not have to order a recount per say considering the law does not stipulate that be done in all cases where an electoral petition is filed. Example the case of the courts and the validity of Yar adua’s election to office.

And No to your other question there. The courts did demand INEC present evidence to support its decision to declare Ngige the winner of the election. And since INEC was unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Ngige was the rightful winner, it went to Obi.

I disagree! This was one of the few cases where the courts actually did all it could to adhere to rule of law. In this case, INEC overlooked the fact that Ngige did not have the majority votes, but still declared him winner anyway, according to reports and the Justice who precided over the case.


I do not think that at all. I am not sure why you do not see INEC’s inability to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the candidate it chose to announce as the winner, was rightly so.


Justice delayed is justice denied, but in this case, the petitioner was finally granted justice.

Not in all cases. Not all cases end the same way in real nations. Not sure why you would want them all to considering no two cases have been proven to be exactly the same.


Dude, you are allowed to believe in Ogbanje for all I care, I really do not give a hoot. If you do don't want your ideas questioned then do not make them public, especially in a PUBLIC forum. You are for this biafra thing, and I am against such a move, as the @poster is. What I find disgusting is the level to which you and others like you have been willing to stoop all so you can claim victims in all that is Nigeria today. If you go back to my initials on this issue, even to this day, all I have done was question the authenticity and sincerity of this move. I have asked plane and direct questions of you and your kind but instead, I have been threatened, condemned and even LIED against. Some even swore they are the alpha and omega on what is ibo and I can not be one because I do not talk from the same arse that they do or spell the way they learnt to spell words. I am against people claiming I need to be CONDEMNED for having a differing view from your group, and so is the @poster.

Here are some sources (Still online as of today) for your reading pleasure. If you can, please produce evidence that the verdict of the court in 2006 is not justice, that is all I ask in this case.

I could not believe the fact that you claimed to have researched the issue of the 2003 gubernatorial election in Anambra State and still came up with the freaking craps you have spewing on this issue.

I must inform you that your disjointed answers raised more questions than answers.
It is only in your deluded world that the burden of prove rests on the respondent instead of the petitioner. Mr. Peter Obi was the petitioner and burden of prove should rest on the Obi not INEC or Ngige. A court not presided by idiots should have known that Obi has no locus standi to present such evidence.

It is very troubling to know that your researcher’s acumen did not alert you why it took a nation 2 years to recount ballot less than 600K votes.

Also, that the discrepancy in the tallied votes came 2 years after Dr. Ngige had fallen out with Aso Rock, PDP and the so-called Chris Uba. I found it baffling that it does not occur strange to you that the statisticians working for INEC were unable to comprehend the difference in numerical range between 241 and 175 before declaring Dr. Ngige winner of the said election.

What a researcher indeed who failed to understand that the links posted to support owns argument totally begged to differ. After the election, the majority of the people of Anambra State opposed the litigation process initiated by Mr. Obi as clearly indicated on the links you posted.

Mr. Obi's governorship in Anambra State is a byproduct of miscarriage of justice and usurpation of duties by unfortunate courts presided by morons and only found in a cesspit called Nigeria.

You sounded like a peacock when you wrote about questioning the amalgam of anybody’s political philosophy. By the way, Biafrans do not claim victims because they were defeated in a war and victimization is one of the cardinal rules against defeated group.

Some misguided and loudmouthed buffoons in Nairaland had yelled to the so-called EFCC to get Soludo arrested. I am surprised that the dude is still walking around and giving speeches. Nigeria will never see a day of progress.

stillwater:
Thank you!!!

Thank you!!! Take that crazy state Anambra as a case in point.

Classic!!! I don't put the bolded past them. Igbo man is very very arrogant. Use their responses on this thread for example.

I give this post 5 stars!!! Make una hit your head on the wall.

Classic indeed as only found in the world of fools.  Mr Obi could have been a toddler when eastern region of Nigeria was granted regional powers. Who could have thought by then that one Mr. Obi would become the governor of Anambra State not the same men of substances such as Chief Louis Mbanefo?

Kobojunkie:
@Dede1, grow up!!! Instead of continually feeling the only way you can make your point, or put them across is by first stooping low to attack your opponent, why not post actual information to support your side of the debate, and then learn to accept the world does not revolve around you and your views of it?

Again, Obi was duely elected by the people. There is no record of him rigging his way into office. The courts declared him the winner, and so in this case, the people got the man they wanted. Hate him for not following along with your support of Massob, but do not then claim the people never elected him without providing some proof of these claims.

Having researched the Obi case myself, I can tell you for a fact that Anambra is one of the few states where the people can claim they got the man they wanted in office. Lagos is another one of those states. If you do not like his politics, that is fine and understandable but do not play the ABUJA DID IT TO US AGAIN card without some proof of such a claim in this case.

Please may I beg your indulgence to the process of my growing up by requesting that a self-acclaimed researcher in you to provide answers to the following questions.

During the 2003 election, did INEC declared Mr. Obi’s opponent the winner and Mr. Obi the loser?

When Mr. Obi went to court to challenge the outcome of the aforementioned election was his court action instigated by referendum to do so by the people of Anambra State?

Did the courts ordered for recounts of votes or reelections if the previous elections were allegedly rigged?

If the courts ordered for the recount of votes, what percentile margin did Mr. Obi receive to be declared duly elected?

Do you not think that it is only in jungle such as Nigeria that courts can declare a candidate as winner of an election based on circumstantial evidence and hearsays?

Was the institution in Anambra State that impeached Mr. Obi not legally constituted?

Do you not think that it is a bastardization of legal process, only possible in a cesspit such Nigeria, that an apex court usurped the duty of the electorates in Anambra State by electing candidate to an office through an unprecedented ruling in which the candidate was never a part of electioneering process?

Is it not true that a justice delayed is a justice denied?

In real nations, is it not a fact that suspects in criminal cases who voluntarily accepted the commissions of crimes are sentenced to psychiatric examinations while the evidences linking the suspects to such crimes are persuade by the legal system?

Please while I wait for your scholarly erudition on the questions above, I wish to remind you; Madam Researcher that I shall continue to support any person or groups of persons that thought it is wise to secede from the colonial contraption called Nigeria.

Again, do not be offended by my questions because I am trying to grow up.

Kobojunkie:
Governor Obi, no matter how much you want to HATE him now, was Elected by the people of the state. There is no record that he RIGGED his way to victory there.

If this crap you have just posted is tailored to the manner by which you form your opinions as you deliberately post them on this board and go haywire to argue that the junks are cardinal facts, you are indeed a falsification junkie not kobojunkie.

I do not venture into Nairaland to spearhead an agenda but seek the facts and contribute to the best of my knowledge. The last time Mr. Obi contested election for the governorship of Anambra State, he was declared a loser.

Again the primary function of the courts of any sovereign state is to perform redress in the society but elect individuals into office.

I do not give a damn hoot to whoever occupies any political position in the cesspit called Nigeria. I totally support and encourage any group or groups of individual that found it necessary to secede from the colonial contraption called Nigeria.

Anybody who insinuates that one Mr Obi parading as governor of Anambra State is duly elected must get his or her head checked. It is only in the jungle called Nigeria that few individuals that were appointed to a certain position would use such position to truncate the wishes of the electorates regardless how they were formed.

The shenanigans that are found in Rivers and Anambra States due to the courtesy of the so-called apex court in the cesspit called Nigeria were unprecedented display of usurpation of duties and denigration of separation of powers, a factor that is cardinal to democracy.

No court elects a candidate to an office.

eina:
Am tired of talking to people with low common sense to realize that Biafra isn't a solution. The south-east governors have ruled their own people and what big thing did they achieve? They were full-time looters instead. Is this how Biafra will be run? what makes you think that the trend of bad governance will be eliminated when Biafra is actualized? The problem and solution lies with the people and not Biafra. fact!!!

From the series of your idiotic posts to this discuss, it appears that sense is longer common to you. I would have voted for you as a leader in Biafra but your antics lacked good judgments and definitely could not be better than the South-east governors you highlighted in your post.

For umpteenth time, Biafra would have little or nothing in common with cesspit called Nigeria. There is no doubt that the configuration of Biafran government would tremendously differ from the lunatic shenanigans obtained in the jungle known as Nigeria.

Actually what made me think that the trend of bad governance would be eliminated in Biafra is because low-lifers and moronic imbeciles such as you would have no place in Biafra.

eina:
listen oga, regardless of whether the south-east is in Nigeria or in Biafra, the region will remain same as long as the peoples mindset remains unchanged. Of what use will it be when you pull out Biafra from Nigeria and they people still think and behave like Nigerians? If you are dreaming of a heavenly biafra, I think you deserve some sound slaps to wake you up to reality

At least, you said that I needed some slaps to be awoken from my slumber. However, you are so starkly blind there is no amount of slaps that will make you regain your sight. If you were reasonable enough to choose one of the scenaiors above, I do not think you would choose a blind situation.

Since you insisted to have known what tomorrow shall become, one wonders why you are wretchedly poor. What an irony that a person who has figured out what and how the feature would appear is still hitting the pavement for daily meals. That makes you a drooling clown. I guess you have not heard that the only thing constant on earth is change. Biafra is a change as good as it gets.

You were rambling about mindset of the people of Igboland in your previous post. Well, Mr. self-acclaimed know-it-all, could you please detail the mindset of the people in Igboland and how it does not differ from the rest of Nigerians? If you really do make use of your reasoning faculty Mr. psychologist, you would have realized that the difference in mindset of people in Igboland is the sole engine behind the push for a separate country from the cesspit called Nigeria.

It is a daft question to ask about Umaru Yar’adua. It is only a fool who does not discern that Nigeria amounts to nepotism, cronyism, tribalism, colonial contraption, jungle and failure.

The same attributes that led the coup of January 15, 1966 that overthrew the government of Balewa are being displayed by the government of Yar’adua. He learnt from his father who was the minister for Lagos capital territory under Balewa government.

eina:
so you think that anyone who says NO to biafra is surely a non-Igbo, and anyone who says YES will definitely be Igbo. That is why I earlier said there is no perfect unity in every unit. A portion of the unit will agree with the rest, while another portion will disagree. Igbo shouldn't make us loose our senses. Our brains gave birth to Igbo as a common identity which is therefore under the control and management of our senses. Therefore I see no reason why Igbo should be controlling our senses instead and making it a factor to decide human development and progress.

You are simply fooling yourself. What is the need to have sense that is of no use? Igbo is not controlling any person’s sense rather the culture and tradition are the bonding factor among Ndigbo. Probably you are a different creature who would not react to an unknown person in the mall who altered a word of your mother tongue.

It is either you do not have sense at all or your sense has malfunctioned. You were the same person who wrote that you would not border to proffer solutions to the retrogressive nature of Nigeria for 48 years because the Nigerians are stack deaf in their ears and would not care to implement your offered solutions. What made you feel that your stupid opinion would fall into the wide open ears of would-be Biafrans? Are you insinuating that these would-be Biafrans would be more receptive of your foolish solutions than jackass Nigerians?

Some groups of Nigerians who have sensed the same crap about the cesspit called Nigeria and made their intentions known to the public about seceding from the cesspit called Nigeria for another country, you and your fellow nut-heads are calling them names and the same time proffering solutions why the intended and yet to be realized country would amount to a failure. I say shove your idiotic opinions or at best save for the colonial contraption called Nigeria.

It is only an irredeemable fool would be chasing a dirty rat while his or her place of abode is on fire. Whenever Ndigbo sue for an International Airport that is comparable to MMA or NNA to be built in the Igboland or then eastern region, please take a sample of the people who would shout the loudest in opposing such federal venture in Igboland.

Have you asked what danger does Biafra pose to certain parts of Nigeria that mere mentioning of Biafra startles them into a tailspin? If Biafrans would perish in hunger after they might have achieved independent Biafra, let the ominous response be “I told you so” ring in the ears. Please layoff the issue about Ndigbo suing for a different independent country out of the jungle called Nigeria.

Sometimes people like Olusola Saraki give interview to impress the audience. He was totally wrong on the issue of 1964 federal election. Besides the fact that AG (Action Group) was no longer a political force it used to be due to the imprisonment of Awolowo, the alliance it formed with NCNC, NEPU and UMBC had boycotted the election due to the census saga. So during the 1964 federal election, AG was never a threat to NPC as the Alhaji had claimed.

eina:
I am Igbo by origin, but am yet to see a valid and concrete point provided by the advocates of this useless disturbance called Biafra to justify their stance that it is the best way forward. They rather shout ''Biafra'' to the top of their voices without making assessments to forsee possible adverse effects.
    personally I think this Idea of Biafra will be a huge disaster if ever it is realized firstly because the region still harbours the same bunch of uneducated people who make up Nigeria. The word ''uneducated" as I used here doesn't just refer to the ability to read and write, but the ability to understand how exactly human beings should live and relate with one another. The south-east politicans, businessmen and office holders are still part of the corrupt and self- seeking assholes that are bringing the nation down to ruins today. So what difference does it make when these individuals leave their seats in Nigeria to take over a new role in Biafra?
    secondly, I wish to make it clear that there is no perfect unity in every unit. Being together as Biafra will not necessarily rule out internal rancours, therefore there will always be a conflict of interests which can cause a civil war if care is not taken. For intance, a part of Biafra may claim they are being marginalized and may decide to secede and manage their own affairs which is also similar to the secession of Biafra from Nigeria. I also believe that the diversity and population of Nigeria is a untapped strenght and blessing, but unfortunately the country doesn't know how to utilize this gift. If Nigerians in the south-east did nothing to help themselves as a bigger Nigeria how then will they achieve something better in a smaller Biafra? Definitely Biafra will be one of the most poverty stricken and unstable nations on earth. You Biafran bigots should count me out of your shit. Nigerians need to secede from their uneducated attitude rather than seceding one part of the country from the other as a solution. I don talk my own.

In one of my previous posts to this forum, I lamented about the idiotic legacy of Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi and the need to make such reckless behavior a tutorial lesson to all Ndigbo in order to avoid such public display of wanton ignorance and idiotic manner of adolescent covered with naïve and sinister by some fools who may claim to be Igbo stock.

I am completely ashamed of you and the efforts that your good thinking parents labored in order to give you the opportunity to read and understand issues in English language and in your native vernacular. Yet you are one among the few maligned imbeciles who have not realized that the federal government of Nigeria had concocted plans and set them in motion to perpetually subjugate Ndigbo since the end of the Nigeria-Biafra civil war. Even a street suya hawker in Kano State understood the pitiful socio-political trends. 

Some punks of non-Igbo stock always get visibly hyperventilated and seriously dehydrated while vehemently aggravated on the mention of Biafra. Do you think it is simply due to the love or sympathy these jackasses had for Ndigbo that had almost drove them to their early grave on the mention of Biafra?

I am of the view that you and your fellow disgruntled morons knew that Nigeria is a cesspit and any reasonable group seeking for an independent country out of the jungle called Nigeria would leave the morons such as you in a colonial contraption fraught with diabolical predicaments. 

Since you have appeared as an idiotic soothsayer who had all the answers why Biafra would be a colossal failure, would there be any need to ask you why you have not made your silly self available to the dilapidated structure called Nigeria by proffering solutions that will eradicate its retrogressive ways for 48 years?

Biafra was saddled with a fratricidal war for three years yet the country was able to produce things that your so-called wacky Nigeria could not dream for 48 years. I could give scintillating reasons why some people are clamoring for Biafra instead of the failed state known as Nigeria. I guess you have already known about them but chose to play stupid.

Mr. know-it-all, may I ask you what tomorrow would look like since you have already known the type of government and the people that would run things in a country that has not even being conceived talk-less of a reborn.

I suggest you change your handle name from enyinna to enyi ndi iro because it is even regrettable travesty you could be possibly a person of Igbo stock

fayahsoul:
[size=11pt] [color=#990000]And why do the ijaws and other groups in the ND and s/s still assume that the new biafran movement has a replicate structure as that in 1967? Do u not know that the arrangment made with S/S representatives in netherlands has provisions to address your fears of an igbo domination? and even a new name for the republic was negotiated. There was an agreement to allow the ND 'minority' groups to produce the presidency for the first 30yrs and the first igbo speaking president of this new republic will come from delta.

The group I belong would never co-sign to this blackmail. Ndigbo have the means and wherewithal to sustain an independent nation. The one important aspect of disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria every Igbo person should understand is the fratricidal war of expansionism that will follow. Boundaries must be determined by the fiercest battles that shall come along with war of attrition if cool head fails to prevail. Ndigbo should be absolutely ready to go it alone but would have open mind to accommodate the Ibibio, Annag, Ogoni, Atama, Efik and Ijo (eastern) depending the situation on the ground.

@na_so

The history of the so-called Niger Delta could not be completed without the inclusion of Ijo (eastern region of Nigeria). To further give meaning to Niger Delta, the religious sects of Catholic and CMS in cohort with Royal Niger Company created the dioceses of Niger Delta with its headquarters in Onitsha. This dioceses covered Onitsha province, Owerrri province and Calabar province. 

I am simply trying to make you understand that these present day fanfares behind the so-called Niger Delta were born out of greed and misguided political machination resting on crude oil.

It is unfortunate that you are bent on blaming Ojukwu on whatever perceived political subjugation the Ijo or minorities of eastern seemed to found themselves. Besides the numerical strength that tilted towards Igbo, Ndigbo really bent backwards to accommodate the minorities in the day-to-day running of eastern Nigeria.

It must be recalled that minority extraction was the first head of government in eastern Nigeria, first secretary to government, first minister of justice, minister of health, minister of Interior and land matters and the leader in house of Chiefs. Both northern and western regions never rivaled eastern region in giving its minorities a great participation in governance.

It is mind burgling to read about the unending flimsy and unfounded allegations against Ndigbo and the government of eastern region of Nigeria on the issue of political subjugation of minorities simply because Biafra lost the war.



@ SepeleGuy

You seemed to loose the philosophy and chronicle order of events as they happened. For umpteenth time, Biafra was neither Ojukwu nor Igbo thing. Biafra was about eastern region of Nigeria. It might interest you to know that Biafra was suggested by a distinguished son of Ijo.
There was nothing such as Rivers State until Gowon divided Nigeria into 12 states in 1966.

About the crude oil, you need to know that by 1965 Bori and Owasa oil fields were pumping as much barrels of crude as Oliobiri. If Biafra were in the fight for crude oil, the Nigerian vandals would not have met oil wells that were still operational when they arrived.  Remember what Saddam Hussein did to crude oil wells in Kuwait and Iraq.

I could not hold back on laughing myself to stupor when reading the ranting of ants from the Ijo peeps. When these folks talk about ND or Ijo peeps warming up for whatever fantasy that suits them, it is likened to a moment when an overfed and deluded Ant challenges Elephant for a fight.

[quote author=na_so link=topic=302497.msg4332273#msg4332273 date=1249979109]@dede1

I asked :

Please as the "historian" of the house kindly explain the makeup (demograhic and geographic) of the Niger delta as designed by the british and explain how the Ijaws were not major players?

and your response is:

For a starter, the delta created by the Rivers Benue, Niger, Imo, Anambra, Urashi and Utamiri popularly referred as Niger Delta covers the area with rough estimate of 23,000 square miles.

Am I correct?[/quote]I hope my apology was accepted in good faith.

As for you being right or wrong on the issue about the Niger Delta, it depends on what landmark you perceived to represent the acreage actually known as Niger Delta. You are very smart person and could decipher real Niger Delta from the estimation in my post

It will amount to latent degree of idiocy and beer parlor political exercise to insinuate the idea of comparing Ojukwu or Zik with a convicted criminal such as Adaka Boro. What an indelible insult?

The reason why the jungle called Nigeria is a total cesspit tends to point to these groups of people who have unclean and criminal mindset roaming freely in the colonial contraption called Nigeria.

Ibime:
I think your argument is getting desperate. . . .People do not make decisions, institutions do. . . and all Igbo institutions had refused devolution for Ijaws. . . I am not aware of the technical machinations of creating a seperate region apart from representations at the Constitutional Conferences, but I do know that NCNC vehemently opposed it. . . . if you doubt that NCNC opposed the creation of Rivers State, then feel free to data mine the WWW, or better yet ask Dede1, but I will not do your research for you.



I shall quote from the memorandum for the creation of Rivers State, signed in 1966 by eminent individuals in Rivers State:

"The pre-occupation of the Government of Eastern Nigeria appears to be to retain this Region in its present size and in fact ask for more powers at the expense of permanent minorities like the Niger Delta."

Also, read on the Eastern Regions annexation of the autonomy of the NDDB. . . 

"It is understood that the Consultative Body of Eastern Nigeria advised the Military Governor that the Niger Delta Development Board in section 159 of the Constitution of the Federation should be repatriated to respective Regions.  This shade of opinion is strongly opposed by all Rivers People. . . . It should be remembered that sub-section 2(d) of Section 159 of the Constitution of the Federation implies that inhabitants of the Niger Delta have a stake in the fate of the Niger Delta Development Board at any Constitution Conference.  In an exclusive interview of Rivers people with the Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria at Enugu on Saturday September 3rd, 1966, His Excellency indicated that he would brief the Eastern Nigeria team from recommendations of the East Consultative Body.  His Excellency's appointed team cannot rightly play the part of the inhabitants of the Niger Delta on the National Conference because our interests are certainly at cross purposes with those of other integral units of the Region."

http://www.adakaboro.org/resources/articles/37-articles/92-rvldrsofthougt

The quotes above show the strong strain of Igbo opposition to any type of autonomy in Niger-Delta, even refusing the NDDB its constitutional right to make a seperate representation for itself at constitutional conferences. . . . so dont be surprised when we talk about Aburi Accord as being a honest document put forward by hypocritical proponents.



In the meantime, you can read about the history of Ijaws struggle for administrative autonomy here:

http://www.ijawfoundation.org/resolution_001_08.htm


I hope all these would serve to inform you of the reasons why Ijaws were locked in a political battle with Igbos at the time of 1966, and what informed the so-called "betrayal" of some of them, although as Afam said, people do not dive into issues on sentimental blackmail, but have to make a good cost-benefit analysis before making decisions. Same applies to Ijaws who fought for Nigeria, including Adaka Boro.

This is another lame attempt to justify the act of political suicide committed by certain ethnic group in Nigeria. There was no region or political party that supported the creation of additional regions among the existing regions within the sphere of interest of such political party or region. If there should be different strata of governmental system in Nigeria, it did not have to start and end with Rivers State. If the Rivers people wanted Nigeria to be divided into states instead of regions, it should have be of national conference with the support of regional blessing. 

It is obvious that the period this Rivers State creation crap or delegation was hurriedly organized, there was already a political impasse between Gowon and Ojukwu. It would not surprise me that the delegation was instigated by the agents of Federal Republic of Nigerian who were in abundance among the people of Ijo. Even a drooling fool will figure out who was blowing the piper for such delegation for the creation of Rivers State.

Check the date of the memorandum on the case of creation of Rivers State, it will clearly show you that the where about of CIC is not even known and the body of Ironis has not being recovered.

Please Ndigbo need to really wake up because enemies are abound. There are many Igbo peeps who still behave like Ironsi.

@Becomrich

The issue of Ojukwu, Mandela and Adaka Boro was predicted on normal constituted authorities decorated with generally accepted constitutional laws of the land. The laws of the land do not flow from one person. Even during the military regimes, the laws of the land originate from standing constitutional books and decrees promulgated by the military council.

@Ibime

Baring the shameful and disruptive personal shenanigan staged at Kaiama by delusional Adaka Boro, Ijo people in the defunct eastern Nigeria were in cohort on every decision taken in then eastern region of Nigeria. Remember that Ijo son held the position of regional minister of justice and attorney-general. 


@Becomrich
I have no interest in either erecting hero or criminal figures. But I could recognize one when I see it. There are laws of the land and those who contravene such laws are indicted based on felony or misdemeanor charges. Anybody that is convicted under the circumstances of due process of the law and sentenced to certain terms of imprisonment is a criminal regardless of the prevailing conditions. 

I hope the above statements could be of help to you in deciding whether Ojukwu or Mandela was a criminal or hero.
