gidgiddy: I can also go to my back garden right now and declare Republic of Enugu, just like Adaka Boro
But the difference is that Ojukwu was controlling an area, he had the mandate of the Chiefs of his area to declare it, the Eastern Region, a seperate country
Boro had no area, controlled nothing, had no mandate. All Boro had was his mouth, who doesn't have a mouth you declare anything?
Boro was paid, sponsored, and mobilized by Fulanis to hurt his fellow Ijaw, and he swallowed it.
You can do better anti-Igbo news research. Someone presenting as Ngozi may not even be Igbo, but since you want to earn some quick hate-Igbo currency, go ahead and please your poor soul.
This is what the office Nigerians in Diaspora is cordinatin- attack and hatred against ndIgbo. Most of these tribalistic bloggers probably work for Abike. She used to push these fake news herself, now faceless tribal bigots do it for her--- can you see the connection? Anyway, it wouldn't happen if President Tinubu directly or Indirectly doesn't support it. Remember Remi Tinubu's outburst against Igbos, Onanuga, and others? This is what happens when there's a reward for whosoever will show the worst hatred for Igbos!
This dan Kano politician has refused to acknowledge the east or south east. For him, and fellow shortsighted Dan Kanos, it's north, north, north.....and then occasionally south- meaning Lagos axis. The whole east doesn't exist in his mind.
Obeysco: Nonsense talk... Even, when I knew majority of his then Ministers are empty brains and their ineptitude was drastically drawing Nigeria as a country backwarks. Useless talk!!!!
Everyone knew that Buhari cared less about Nigeria. He was on a single mission: uplift his Fulani people. He was the Fulani messiah! Somehow, his ploy almost worked: blaming Igbos for everything while shifting focus from his Fulani herdsmen. All these people eulogizing Buhari today knew that he was on a single mission. Amaechi considered himself the kingmaker of Buhari- financially, but as a minister of transportation, he Amaechi couldn't convince Buhari to do PH railroad instead of the one in Niger Republic. This summarizes everything: action not words reveal people's intentions.
Ademoyega wrote his book about the civil war, Ben Gbulie wrote his own account, OBJ write write his own, Ojukwu write his own. If you care for Nigeria and the truth, advice Gowon, Ph.D to write his own book when scholars can still evaluate it while he's alive. Is there any reason why Gowon will not put all his tales in a book
christistruth01: Ok Just listen to Azikiwe una Father. Did Azikiwe una father lie about Ojukwu and his henchmen?
Did Azikiwe lie when Azikiwe told you his own flesh and blood that Ojukwu had blindfolded and hoodwinked all of you into fighting a War?
To hoodwink means to deceive!!
Azikiwe is here telling his people that Ojukwu deceived them into fighting a War. Azikiwe was an insider!! Just look at the agony and pain for his people in his face as he was battling to save them!!
Ojukwu refused to listen to Azikiwe's plea and after this speech at least another half a million precious souls who could have been saved and lived perished.
Let Ohaneze admit that what Ojukwu presented at Aburi was almost the same as the Regional Autonomous system the British had brilliantly designed and which Gen Ironsi had destroyed with Ojukwu's full and eager support
helinues: Because you hardly read about attacks on the Fulani's. Not justifying or defending their actions, but the parties involved need to start talking so that the killings can stop
So sad. What type of reconciliation do you want between local farmers who have farmed the land for thousands of years and foreign Fulani herdsmen whose mission is to destroy and take over people's land? "Reconciliation " is our own equivalence of "there are good people on both sides "---- when Trump was comparing KKK to peaceful marchers. Heart breaking.
The only people unwilling to try another hand in Aso Rock are : 1. Tribal warriors 2. Those benefitting from the present insecurity and chaos. 3. Those causing the present insecurity 4. Mentally challenged.
Kc3000: I don't know if you're Igbo or not. I am Igbo and I'll caution you to be careful with your utterances. Even if you believe this is retribution or whatever, you don't need to gloat in the face of this tragedy. This is not how Igbo reason. Show some humanity.
Another Igbo impersonation. You can say whatever you like without "reminding us that you are Igbo" You're not.
God! It's annoying to hear about dead cows when more 200 human beings were slaughtered in Benue. Cow rearing and business is a private business, why should a stuuuuppiddd man herdsmen his cows into a river? And now try to look for excuses?
Very funny to see how quick the hospital boss disclaimed the whole incident. Anyone who has ever worked in a hospital will easily understand that such culture of abandonment and wickedness couldn't have existed without the direct and indirect influence of the boss, and the very top echelon of the system.
Thank God for the good Samaritan who not only saved a life,but has shown light on a very ugly situation.
OfoIgbo: The same Amaechi that didn't construct any rail in the entire SE. His nomination is dead on arrival.
Buhari is not respected by Obidients anyway, so his suggestions are not rated
....performance? Like borrowing foreign money to build railroad to another country while neglecting the one in your city, that's Buhari's definition of performance? Sacrilegious!!!
owobokiri: I beleive that there is a presidential directive to levy the market at Onitsha heavily. Otherwise the NAFDAC boss and her tribal henchmen iñ that organisation won't be so audacious in terms of how they have been dealing ruthlessly with these traders. Blanket purnishment is wrong!
This has been going on for almost 5 months now. Thousands of traders basically stopped from earning their daily bread by an organisation that has decided to use all tricks in the books to swallow their earning. Unfortunately, no one speaks for them, and they don't seem to know how to fight back..
Obviously, that's why the Iyaloja of NAFDAC has given up pharmacy, common sense and decency to descend into revenue collection- taxation.
aribisala0: The problem with our youth is ignorance
Do you know the history of Germany in Nigeria , specifically the part of Cameroon that used to be part of Nigeria and World War 1 that was actually fought there>
Now go and read what the Germans did to the people of Namibia
Today GERMAN descendant control most of the land in Namibia
With all their expertise have they helped us in electricity? No they do not want to see us grow
They are not our friens
It's not surprising that he's full of praze for some of our leaders! They obviously have worked with them to keep Africa down. Remember the Nzeogwu coup? The chap was socialist inspired like many people of his time, so when their plan didn't work out as planned, the west quickly organized a counter coup citting Igbo domination, but it was a frantic western effort to push back the way they removed Nkrumah, Lumumbar and others. Unfortunately, those Nigerian leaders in the good books of the west happened to be the most corrupt. Anyone remember how fast they got rid of Murtala Mohammed for overthrowing their favorite stooge, Gowon?
