Nigeria should write a formal letter to the United Kingdom asking for the restoration of British rule. The nonsense you've been truing since 1960 isn't working.

Some toto de like that.

I beg, Edo de for Biafra 2?

I didn't attend OAU but did NYSC in Ife at Oduduwa College. I used to hang out at OAU. An OAU girl I toasted became a good friend. I proposed to her but she said no.

The mistake Gowon made was trying to fight the Igbo from the south. That's where the Nigerian army encountered forests that gave the Biafrans cover. The fight from Ogoja southward was easier because of the open plains and lasted only from July 1967 to December 1967. After that area had been conquered Gowon should have simply put impregnable forces equipped with armor and heavy artillery around the areas held by Biafra and blockaded those areas until they surrendered. Also, Ojukwu should never have been pardoned and allowed in Nigeria, talk less of running for public office.
The current five Igbo states and the region of Delta State with Igbo should have their governors removed and replaced with military governors of general or admiral rank who answer only to the President. That should continue until the stupid agitation for Biafra has stopped.

What a mess these guys and the kids who joined after them made.

The naivete and simplemindedness of the Igbo led them to the disaster of the Biafran war. Now they're gearing up for another episode of slaughter and starvation in their paranoia. If I were the head of state of Nigeria I would send soldiers to occupy the Igbo states, including the Igbo regions of what is now Delta state. Someone has to save those savages from themselves.

With yet another ASSU strike the African has demonstrated once more that he had no use for higher education or abstract thought. The last time the black man was economically productive was when he was enslaved en masse in the 19th century. Nigeria should tear down its universities so you niggerians can go back to pulling cassava out of the ground. That's what your brains are suited for.

Don't worry. Nigeria will eventually split. But that won't be into the neat little artificial categories you people think in terms of. It will split into an unworkable mess like Somalia, where increasingly splintering groups will fight over smaller and smaller territories and all law and order will collapse. The UN may have to run large areas of it indefnitely At the same time anybody who understands what the former Eastern region, which seceeded as biafra, has become knows that the Eastern minotireis, like Ijaw, Efik, Urhobo, Abonnema, Okrika and so on are not about to trade in rule by the HAusa-fulani oilgarcy for rule by Igbos. Meanwhile I wish you MASSOB dreamers and fanatics the best. If the crude and uncouth young men I see running little stalls in the auto spare parts market near Satellite Town Lagos represent the flower of young Igbo manhood then the new Biafra faces grim prospects.

What is Biafra? The only reason it worked was that ojukwu was able to neatly pull the constitutionally defined former Eastern region of Nigeria out of the federation. What used to be Biafra is now nine states or so, and the people in the non-Igbo states don’t see themselves as Igbo and don’t give a damn about Igbo people. Indeed, if the inept Ironsi had split the four regions into twelve states he’d probably be alive today and there wouldn’t have been a war. If Gowon had split the regions up right after coming to power, he would have stopped Ojukwu’s ambitions in their tracks. Yes, kids, the monomania of spoilt rich-kid chukwuemeka ojukwu, a man who makes a buffoon of himself practically every time he speaks, was the biggest cause in transforming some violent rioting and interethnic clashes into a needless full-scale war. What you kids don’t realize is that Nigeria is so diverse that large-scale ethnic-based wars like Biafra are probably not possible in it anymore. The same goes for every African country. The only one that has split up since the sixties is Ethiopia, and its borders were NOT a product of European imperialism or the Berlin conference. Are you MASSOB lunatics telling me that you’ll somehow convince Ijaw, Urhobo, Efik, Abonemma, Ibibio and so on, to join you in yanking your impoverished region out of Nigeria?
Go get some education.

Of course, European rule was good for Africa. If Europeans never came to Africa and Africa had been left undisturbed Africans would still be living in mud huts, and they wouldn’t know that. Africa was the first continent to be circumnavigated and the first to be shown in full on maps, yet its interior was in the Stone Age and did not see the wheel until the 1870s.

You “Naija” people, your minds are so simplistic. It’s unfortunate. If you split Nigeria into its components parts what exactly are the components? Based on that logic Nigeria should be split up into 250 nations. Biafra had twenty different ethnic groups. You should learn to live in the 21st century, not think of living according to tribes that were obsolete five thousand years ago.

Biafra did not fail because of the Yoruba. Next time you Igbo guys want to fight a war make sure you’ve got plenty of weapons and artillery and food. Come to think of it, if Gowon, or maybe Ironsi, had created the twelve states in 1966 or even early 1967 that war wouldn’t have happened. The records show that Gowon’s creation of twelve states scared ojukwu witless. He had to act quickly before his power would start to ebb, so he declared his unarmed little republic independent three days later. The rest, as they say, was history.

This myth refuses to die and has become one of the great myths the Igbo use to justify their suicidal war. a man of ojukwu’s intelligence and who knew the Nigerian military intimately. Having made a career there, would have know that awolowo was not the person to go to for the securing of a deal to get the west to secede along with the east. For that he would have gone to the military rulers of the west. If you wanted Anambra state to secede during the Babangida regime would you got to Jim Nwobodo or to the current military leader? At any rate when awolow arrived in Enugu in July 1967 for peace talks he and his delegation spent an entire working day talking to ojukwu and his aides. at the end of the day, late at night ojukwu personally went to awolowo’s hotel suite and told him that the east had made up its mind to secede and that there was no going back. Read Soyinka’s You Must Set Forth At Dawn for the documentations of that.

Awolowo could not give what he did not possess. Like the rest of the country Western Nigeria was under military rule by then and Awolowo had been in prison since 1962. Therefore the idea that ojukwu could have gone to him to get the west to secede is a myth.

Even a ghetto dweller in America lives better than 99% of Nigerians. My friend who’s denying they are Aje-butter, face it you can’t imagine how savage the lives of most Nigerians are. Sub-Saharan Africa is returning to the stone age.

@OneNaija
Lol. He means well, but virtually every sentence in his post has at least a grammatical era of a misspelling.

Wow, Henry101,
You live in Los Angeles and you're preaching to me about being Igbo. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and head back to Igboland and live the real Igbo life?

The solution to the Igbo problem in Nigeria is development. If Igbo were as advanced as you believe you are you would own the country. 250,000 whites in Zimbabwe out of a population of 12 million controlled 98% of the land until Mugabe’s seizures ruined not only the whiter farmers but his country. Throughout the Apartheid era whites were a minority in South Africa. I wonder what Ian Smith, who led Zimbabawe during its racist era, had to say about the country after Mugabe's land seizures. The white's in South Africa built nuclear power stations by the 1980s. The people and culture I have observed as I travel through the East here don’t exhibit that kind of capability. You can’t buy a plastic bottle of Coke out here.
On the other hand if you think war will save you, you have the right to do that too. It ain't my problem.

As for your woodpecker quote, maybe I should tell you that I have only contempt for ancient sayings of dead cultures. What the Bleep do I care what the old people said. They are the problem. A culture that exports only desperate people is dead. It has failed to survive as a culture.

It’s like a man sitting in a house with a time bomb under it. He isn’t worried about the bomb because he does not understand the concept of bombs. He’ll be a happy man because of his ignorance. I think that’s the Nigerian problem. Ignorance is freedom.

Personally, I don’t care what Igbos do for or against Biafra. Igbo culture is dead. In forty years it's greatest cultural export has been the crude and brain dead Nollywood home movie. Compare that with America's cultural conquest of the globe, to the extent that the death of a black American, MJ, shut down the Internet. Compare that with the American flag flying on the moon.
I guess everyone has the right to hurl dumb kids against machineguns to address political and ethnic grievances. If they’re fighting I hope to be as far from it as possible. It’s not my war. America became the envy of the world although there is no specific American ethnicity. It’s a lot of people from all over the world, and more are still going there. if the Igbo think pure ethnicity is the future they are wrong. If niggers are too dumb to make Nigeria work, because of tribalism, well, I hope you at least manage to cull your exploding population. Fight a good, bloody war so you can stop invading the Western world out of hunger. Yup, a lot of those Naija people in the West today left because they could literally not eat anymore in their country.
The Biafra cause was shitty in ’67 and still will be shitty. My only problem is bloodshed. Only people with military training truly hate war. Well, maybe 5 million of you will die (according to a RAND Corporation simulation), and since you have that magical Igbo “bouncebackability”, which Anambra didn’t seem to exhibit as I travelled through it, you’ll start the forty five year cycle of getting ready for another one. Maybe that my little cousin will get his chance to kill some Hausa niggers.
LONG LIVE BIAFRA
LONG LIVE THE IGBO PEOPLE
