Well, which tribe wouldn't assimilate, transform and dissolve into other culture if they are renown for desperation, unbridled affinity for filthy lucre, penchant to outdo one another in the craze for sudden wealth and lack of respect for peaceful coexistence.

4chi: .....and the okoro born throweys are all over the space once more. Doing nponkiti and atilogwu and all other akpu inspired dances because of the legend AWO. I wonder why Igbos are so besotted with the genius of Awo . For pete's sake this man died ages ago! Anyway, as someone said, at the name of AWO, all Igbos must bow. I have said it severally to you thick skull Igbos,AWO DOES NOT OWE YOU JACK! YOU MAY HATE HIM FOR TEACHING YOUR FADAS SOME BASIC LESSONS IN HOW NOT TO FIGHT A WAR, BUT WE YORUBAS LOVE AND APPRECIATE HIM FOR HIS SHEER GENIUS, THE NOBLE ROLE HE PLAYED IN OUR HISTORY AND THE ADVANCEMENT HE BROUGHT TO BEAR ON OUR LAND. Heck, this guy gave us TV before the irish and south Africans!Your Zik was a complete disaster in the eastern region and NONE of your leaders can match his achievements Zik with all his so called nationalism is a little man who achieved very little forhis country and people. Today, he lies in an unkempt grave begging for government attention. Tribune,Awo's newspaper still flourishes while the over 40 Zik propaganda machines (newspapers) are all in extinction.Yorubas does not need your useless,silly nationalism.buried in our hearts is the hope that one day we will get rid of all you leeches and build a proper country.

Wo a da fun e!. Gba sibe!. Wo wajere awon omo e!. Ko ni buru fun e!. Olori re ni o ma je!. This despicable braggarts, who keep churning threads upon threads insulting their superiors have lost every modicum of respect worthy of any reasonable person. Small wonder Awolowo called them Homos Mortus- the Living Dead. Shior!

I am a Born Again Christian but I disapprove of your trolling on threads to embrass people of different religious persuasion from yours. I have seen how you guys write so many unpardonable things on Islamic threads and I begin to wonder whether you are really Christians. It is barbaric and devoid of any sense.

The Igbos on this thread happen to be the vilest of the tribe. This statement is a true reflection of the various imbecilic post and comments made by people of Igbo extraction. If MKO was going to renounce his mandate then of what use was his murder?

cjrane:
Good tok broda.Yorrobers have perfected the art of setting the country on fire,then screaming for help.The naive Igboman usually steps into the traps by trying to put out the flame for the yorrober guy.Then,the same Yorrober that set the fire in the first instance will raise alarm that the Igboman has set his house on fire and get people to murder the naive innocent guy.Igbos must learn when to stay out of the fry and just let Yorrobbers deal with the fire they set intentionally. Igbos must master the yorrober man's nature of thriving in chaos and deceit.The first lesson is don't trust anything they tell you.

Isn't it obvious these Igbos need another round of bashing to recognize that they are Third Class citizens in this Country. After the failed misadventure of the Civil War, the same Yorubas these idiiiiotts collectively abused led their reintegration back into Nigeria.

Mr. Globe2:

^
The ramblings of a mad man. What are the facts other than what these intellectuals have been dishing out? whay have you disproved from their assertions other than attacking the people that have chosen the part of dignity. Awolowo must face justice dead or alive

Imbeciles like you don't know the difference between fools and traditional naysayers!. It is apparent that the foolishness of the Igbos will continue to cause them to keep going in circles in the political realm some much so that they had started making noise of wanting to be President in 2015 after with open and clear eyes bungled it in 2003, 2007 and 2011. So much for crying babies!

Mr. Globe2:
.Former North regional premier Ahmadu Bello, for example, could afford the luxury of his reservation about allowing an Igbo an inch of opportunity because, according to him (Ahmadu Bello) he, (Igbo) would from there occupy a yard.

This is the zinger!. The ever domineering attitude of the Igbos led to their decimation. All these Genocidal rants amounts to nothing because Awolowo reportedly said that Ojukwu was offered to open food corridor where food will be delivered to Women and Children but He declined, only to offer to have Aircraft deliver food in the dead of the night whilst FG will be paying him Landing rights for the Aircraft. What impudence!.

Duro Onabule and Chinua Achebe can choose their Opinion but have no rights to choose the Facts!. Facts are really scared!.

Isn't it obvious to any discerning bystander that the Igbos have stirred the hornet's nest and will find it difficult to achieve closure to the issues of the Civil War?. They open threads upon threads to denigrate their benefactors without recourse to any sense of natural justice. These Yorubas, they keep fronting as supporting their genocidal rants have forgotten that the Igbos in the mould of Nzeokwu and Ifejuna where the ones started the killings of Northern and Yoruba Leaders in the January 1966 coup.

Well, I suspect that the Victim Mentality of the average Igbo will continue to look for pliable and gullible outsiders to carry on their crusade but will more often than not meet their Waterloo at the doorpost of sound intellectual reasoning

Asiwaju9ja:

Thank u for ur mature comment. However, I must say that I have been cheated in dis country badly that I find it very hard to believe in d country anymore. Firstly, I proposed a system of verifying NAFDAC numbers and submitted to NAFDAC.The whole project was hijacked. Secondly, my former house where lived was to be sold (block of 4 Flats) we d tenants decided to buy d house by flat basis. We approached a bank collectively to buy d house and we will pay back on mortgage basis over a 12 yrs period. The idea was hijacked by a staff of d bank assigned to evaluate d house. Today he is d owner of d house. While d tenants pay rents to him, he pays d bank d premium as a mortgage.
Now I have a company in South Africa and I was registered as a supplier to SA Prisons. We have been called out of d blue several times to come and tender quotations for d supply of stationery and toiletries. I have done supplies like 4 times. I do not know anyone there I only registered wit dem as a supplier. This can never happen in Nigeria. We have lost our souls.

It is now self evident that you are a clear and present danger to the continuing existence of this country. You are advised to move over to SA at least you will enjoy your xenophobic attacks there

Poster,

You are simply a fool for insinuating that this Country is finished. It is you that has lost lost bearing

Those who lack Heros amongst their Tribesmen, make mockery of Leading lights amongst the tribes of the Noble. Can anybody tell me about anyone in Igboland as accomplished like this great son of Africa?.

[quote author=Onlytruth]

Okay, let me ask Mr Fani Kayode one question: WHAT ABOUT THE 20 POUND POLICY? How did he forget that one?

What even baffles me is that Achebe never attacked Yoruba people; HE "ATTACKED" AWOLOWO, and unless Awolowo has become Oduduwa himself, it should be an insult to the Yoruba tribe for anyone to pretend that Awo even rises to touch the shoes of such noble Yoruba sons, as Prof Wole Soyinka, Fela Anikulapo Kutui (and his entire Ransome Kuti family), and even my spiritual mentor Dr D. K Olukoya.
So, I get personally indignant on behalf of Yoruba folks, when people raise Awo above the entire tribe. [\quote]


It is clearly self evident that you are delusional and obviously impervious to the Truth. Pray tell, it will be foolhardy for anybody to ever think that Wole Soyinka or any the Ransome Kuti can ever play in the league with Chief Obafemi Oyeniyi Awolowo forever in Yoruba history

20 pounds Policy

When your brothers looted the CBN offices in Benin and Port Harcourt as well as Commercial banks in a bid to buy arms and ammunitions to prosecute the War, they forgot that the centre of financial intelligence resides in the South West or do you presuppose that they should have been left alone without encumbering them with this policy so as to dictate the pace of the War with Nigerian money?. Unfortunately for those thieving bandits, they forgot to keep records of the Bank depositors, which later became the yardstick of returning money back to depositors. Those that couldn't provide any documentary evidence of deposits were the ones given the 20 pounds.

Please tell me, do you imply that the Biafran Pounds become Legal Tender in Nigerian Territory or that the FG should have recognize an illegal Country or should have done a 1-1 exchange of the Biafran money to the Nigerian money?. It is perfidious and totally insane to even pursue this line of thinking.

Ikengawo: Biafra had ground and air superiority over the Nigerian Army and had used this to reach Lagos. I was then that Britian, Egypt, the US, and Russia began fighting for the Nigerian Army.
The Biafran war showed the incompetence of Nigeria as a nation. It's written in history.

"Yawns". So much for incompetence!. If wining the Civil War is incompetence and your Leaders scampering to exile wearing Feminine attire, then dear Father in Heaven may I never be competent

gree-die:


well, u should go and read the UN guidelines.... Before a. Group can be supplied wit arms, it has to be a sovreign, with it's own currency, anthem and do I say democrats? Nigeria was waging war against d igbos, ojukwu had to formally secede inother to get arms...

U see, totally against war, because I know that there are other diplomatic ways to break free. All the igbos need is to apply wit and this is why none of the
powerful igbos are supporting biafran war strategy. This freedom will come, it's just a matter of time

The haziness of this your post shows that you are part of the problem because if Palenstinians who have fulfilled all your UN resolutions have not yet been granted their heart desires why will anybody for that matter take the Igbo serious

gree-die:


yes they did!!! Britain initiated the war. This is a fact u cannot get from google or any text book but a fact nonetheless... The notion that war ensued because of the seccession is a wrong one and even if it wasn't, it's not the whole truth. It had been, is and will always be about the oil. This clash of interest dates back to pre-independence.. The igbos and yorubas were well travelled and educated, the Hausas were..... Cattle rearers. We wanted our independence, the British didn't want to go and d hausas well aware dat they amounted to nothinginsisted dat a treaty be signed allowing dem to control a higher percentage of the house( dat was d beginning of this majority/ minority crap). The cabal agreed, they just needed the British gone... Fastforward to post I dependence, the same cabal plotted a coup to kill top military men but the real deal was to kill d few powerful hausas and dis is why awolowo( puttin him in prison was a ploy to save his life) and a host of others escaped. Aguiyi Ironsi became d head of state and because this had already planned by the powers that be ( this cabal was made up of yorubas and igbos)he merely imprisoned instead of killing kaduna nzogwu, the puppet dat was used to carry out d coup.

The British, fully aware that an Igbo man in power will cancel some of the treaties signed be dem nd lo foil there plan, gathered the hausas and told them that an Igbo man in power is their undoing. U see, the British fear and are in awe of the igbos especially the elite among them for the same reasons other ethnic groups hate us: our brillance, smartness, doggedness, diplomacy, name it! They had to kill ironsi,they used the well known mallam tasini of Kano, who until his death in 1980,fed on human skull and blood. It was tasini dat removed ironsi's charm while he was bathin and replaced it wit a fake one, it was only den dat they succeeded in killing ironsi and enthroned Gowon who they used as a pawn.

Following the mass killing of the igbos in d north, ojukwu was saddened and threatened to pull out. At first, Gowon was of the opinion that Nigeria didn't need d igboman and den the British called him and said " bia man, are u this foolish? U want to give in to this seccession, don't u know u have everytin to loose? If d igbos pull out, u ll be left wit nothing except cattle! U cannot allow this people to leave. Then came the Aburi accord but it wasn't good enuf for the British and so they asked Gowon to keep us or kill us.

Ojukwu had good intentions, he just didn't act at the ryt time perhaps cz he was too young and enthusiastic. The great zik, a member of the cabal dat formed this great country tried to warn him dat war at that time wasn't the best strategy, his father begged him too dat his biz is scattered all over the country but ojukwu would hear none of it, his reply to the dad was that he ll be richer than he was if Biafra won. As we all know, the dad died of heart attack shortly after.

During d war, the US didn't help us cz we were under d common wealth and they didn't want tohave anything to do with their colonial masters, France was an ally to Britain. Gabon supported us because they too as a colony of Britain didn't want to remain together. U see, they were hopin dat our success ll pave way for their own devision. The british made a terrible mistake wen they amalgamated differnt ethnic groups into one country. Most of their colonies has this problem; Gabon, Ghana etc. Of all these countries, Nigeria was the giant and if the seccession had been successful, other countries would have followed suit. Do u see why Britain couldn't allow Biafra to be? They achieved their purpose by playing on the ignorance of the hausas, they manipulated gowon

Backtrack to wen awolowo was freed from prison- he knew the original plan of the cabal to dethrone the intellectually backward hausas, he was even in support. He promissed to leave wit the igbos, he promised to give us men and land. The original plan was that all tribes ll seccede, leaving the hausas alone to their Ill fate. Yoruba land should have been a haven for the Igbo soldiers but awo sold out. He betrayed the cabal and wen the war arrived ore, Yoruba armymen already knew abt thleir heads betrayal and so they turned around to fight the igbos. That is why they are seen as coward

someone asked why ojukwu seceded wen he knew Biafra was poorly equiped-- well dat was the only way they could get arms, they had to declare a sovereign state in accordance with the guidelines of the UN.

As we all know, the war was a tough one and Biafra persevered. Biafra lost out not cause Nigeria was stronger but cause of the strong allies backing them up, allies that cannot allow Igbo people wit their oil and smartness to rule

and dis is why no igboman has been able torule since then. Okadigbo rose to a high position and then he saw sometin he wasn't supposed to see and he was killed

the problems of the igbos isn't awo or Nigeria, dat is why I do not advocate for any war. Igbos should not make the same mistake ojukwu made. Violence is not the answer, they should apply the traits in them the british fears so much and look for a way to stop d influence of our colonial masters ON us. Britain is the problem, anyother tribe in Nigeria cannot stand the heat- break the stronghold and the house falls.

It's all about the oil, Britain will do anytin to get hold of it! I always laugh wen I hear people say" Nigeria is a mess, we need our colonial masters to come and govern us again" if only they knew....

Musings of a Ganja-inspired rambler!. A tribe of people, who have no compunction mouthing inanities is called IGBO

aryzgreat:

F00l! u were quick to buy awolowo's lies, please tell me why ojukwu went to court over Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu's properties scattered in Lagos dat were hijacked by Lagos? Ojukwu went to court over his father's properties ur lazy a55hole fathers wanted to take over and he won!

Now, I know the reason for the victim mentality of the Igbo people. How many Igbo people went to Court over their property in the SouthWest?. Was it Awolowo that denied Ojukwu access to his Father's property?. Was it a Yoruba man?. Where was Achebe to advise Ojukwu before embarking on this misadventure? Or I guess Ojukwu or his now supporter in chief Achebe never thought of the unitended consequences of War, which is in this case Abandoned properties especially from a tribe that will never stay in their part of the country because of the small mass of land but will never let their host enjoy peace and quiet due to their domineering attitude.

Sincere 9gerian: . Again Igbos did not declare war on Nig rather it was Nigeria that attacked Igbo homeland after the east seceded due to massacre of Igbos in the north

My boy, I hope you have read and understood what you have type correctly?. I wonder where In the World, would a part of a Sovereign Country be allowed to dismember itself without the agreement of others through a referendum or a mutual say so. However, who started the killings first?. It was the Igbos, who started killing the Northerners and desecreated their corpse by publicly putting their legs on the corpse publicly.

Does ANYTHING justify cannibalism?
If I killed your mother,you'd be pretty pissed off.
If I killed, Barbecued and ATE your mom with cold beer, you'd probably run mad.

Don't get me wrong,I understand that violence begets violence, and that the Fulani themselves are guilty of so horrible atrocities BUT...

CANNIBALISM? HABA!

My problem with you is that you are looking at the prism from one angle. Why wasn't the original attackers punished?. Why wasn't the Berom people pacified instead of allowing the matter to degenerate to this level?. What of the various white papers on this issue?. Have they been implemented?. People resort to self help like this cannibalism, when Government refuses to do the needful and as well as the rightful.

I am un-killable!. I know my departure date from this planet, which is in the next 60 years. You are a demented soul. What did the man and his family do to you?. Your end is today. Be prepared to meet your creator!.

Killings, Killings and more Killings!. These are pointers to the fact that Nigeria is on tenterhooks and needs to purge itself from the imminent danger to internal destruction as it stares us in the face. Let all men and women of goodwill arise and lash out against this injustice and acts of brigandage.

To the Berom, the time is now to adequately defend yourself for the fire burns within thy courts. Setup vigilantes, arm yourselves, investigate the sources of your sorrows and look for evidences to prosecute the sponsors of this agression. Internationalise your struggles and take it to UNHCR and ICC for your case to be heard. Take heart my brethren, this struggle is not a dash but a marathon.

Organize financially, use your intellectuals, use your people in authority and finally, prepare for full scale war and prosecute intellectual warfare.

You shall succeed!.

NovusHomo: Dele Momodu's piece above demonstrates the naivety of both Moshood Abiola and all those who claimed they were fighting for the latter's mandate. In my humble opinion, Abiola renounced his own mandate when, after the election was annulled, he pompously got into a private jet and flew out of the country (perhaps, in search of foreign support). You don't see a thief steal from you and you just casually walk away! I guess he wanted to fight for his stolen mandate far away from the discomfort of Nigeria, while leaving his less fortunate supporters to take to the streets and face the army. It was even surprising that some people did actually believe that Abiola might walk out a free man. That would have had to happen as a result of a military coup d'Etat that would have ousted Abacha. Abiola knew a thing or two about those "arrangements". But this time, it was almost impossible. Yet, Nigeria was moving gradually to what might have been a repeat of 1967-1970 (though under different circumstances); a scary scenario, given the depth of mutual suspicion or is it hate among the diverse ethnicities, the size of the country's population, and the assured effect on the West African subregion. Something had to give. Who knows what transpired between the various European capitals. Who knows what they knew about Abiola in the light of his friendships, business dealings, and his incessant demand for reparations. One thing is sure, to avert a total breakdown of the Nigerian geopolitical space, the two protagonists had to go. There lies Abiola's sacrifice, not that he was a willing lamb. Eternal peace to his soul.

This your shabby attempt at revisionism calls for serious concern because if you were matured enough to decipher issues and happenings at that time, you will realize that no single individual regardless of how wealthy and powerful he is, can fight a military government successfully without support of the international community. If you were alive then, you will remember that people like Mandela, Thambo Mbeki, Walter Sisulu went on exile to solicit and bring to bear on the Apartheid government the need to retract their steps from perfidy and from the path of opprobrium .

If American interest at that time were threaten directly by the presence of Abacha and his fellow bandits, the American government would have garnered support from the rest of the international community and would have generated a UN Resolution to flush them out without any dissenting opinion and restored MKO's mandate regardless of MKO's friendships, business dealings, and his incessant demand for reparations

dekung: Bishop Oyedepo fear so te he no show for court or is it arrogance that makes him think he shouldnt be in court? Why did he go ahead to engage a more expensive lawyer since he knows and believes he is doing Gods work? The bald headed con man knows if he is arraigned in court he would be asked questions in the dock and so that he wont be accused of lying (which he would do if arraigned) he asked his SAN lawyer to tell the court he had to be at the supreme court, bloody rogue. Rather than answer to the case he is busy contending court jurisdiction. Useless theif. He can run but he cannot hide. Those people claiming that people are being slapped everyday should know something: the fact that crimes are commited all the time does not make it right. When Naval rating beat up a lady in public glare we all rose up against the injustice. Now their MOG slaps a lady in public glare and their position sudenly changes. In this 21st century even convicted criminals have rights, animals have and so are confirmed witches. Stagger claimed his fathers housemaid tried to poison him and his bro but isnt this a different scenario? Did the lady Oyedepo slapped try to kill anyone? And dont give me the crap about spiritual killings because that line does not exist in our constitution. One question I would like to ask Oyedepo's supporters is would this bald headed vulture do that in civilised worlds like UK or US in if he allowed his emotions to get the best of him and he slaps what do you think would have been his fate? He would probably be rotting in jail now.
