Cultist are usually violent!,they support anything war

You see yourself. Soyinka established the cult to fight against opression during his days in the university. It was not a violent group. Unfortunately cults have been turned upside down


I think you should always know history before saying (or in this case writing) things.

NCAN correspodent reporting live from Delta....analysis has shown that no Egbeyinka can be found in biafra...because Egbeyinka is like Soyinka,The notorious cultist,and since Soyinka is from the land of EWEDU,ndi ofe mmanu.....
that means,the couple must be Afonjas!! because,any crime,like gay,fraud or skull mining, they are kings in it ! thats their area of concentration....

Wait, with the way you guys (Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa) insult each other on Nairaland is pathetic. Everything turns to insult, death wish among other things. And I think the mods key into this by bringing religious and ethnic matters to FP so that people (tribes) can freely insult each other. Very soon Biafrans will start and Yorubas will follow suit. That kind of hate is toxic. Scotland wanted to secede from the U.K but I never heard of insults and deathwish. Every story pushed to FP is either on ethnic and religious issues. I hardly come here again because of the hatred that come out from people

In secondary school. Was so beautiful with perfect hips. But fear no gree me talk to am sha. I wondered how someone could be so beautiful

justman911:
I earlier said I would have nothing to do with this topic but your comment drew my attention. I am igbo, but I am not a dummy. Hear me clearly brother, we are biting more than we can chew. We complain repeatedly of marginalization under the current Nigerian arrangement but we are so selfish to the point that no one wants to bury his ambition for the other. Atiku, Kwankwaso and their likes shelved their ambitions and gladly threw their weight behind PMB to win the seat over to the north. Something the ibos would not do on a good day. Let's be factual here, nothing stops an ibo man from campaigning, winning the presidential election and approving the construction of 10 seaports and 50 niger bridges. How many times have your senators, representatives and ministers pleaded on your behalf until recently? When GEJ your half brother was there appointing Easterners up and down what did the Ibos achieve? Why did we not build all our roads and bridges then? and why didn't we push for our referendum then? if we remain blind to these things, we may just have another case of South Sudan on our hands.
Besides we don't have a leader. Nnamdi Kanu is far from leadership or what it entails. Having people bow to him, forming Ibo jew to get Israel's attention, and calling other human beings derogatory names to drive home a point is far from leadership. Call him a ruler and I will lend you my left ear but that dude is far from a leader.

Sentiments aside, think about it nwanne.

God you made a very good point. Our great Ojukwu contested for election how many of us voted for him? I school in Anambra and I know what I see. An Abakaliki man does not like an Anambra man. An Anambra man sees a man from Abakiliki as inferior. He won't even allow him to lead him. Let us take a practical example of the crisis rocking Ahiara diocese today. Just because the Bishop is not from Imo state but from Anambra state he won't be their Bishop. Catholic Church o. My Church. A church that is considered holy now imagine politics that is a do or die affair. I have nothing against Biafra but I know that we are very selfish. South Sudan will be considered heaven because I know our character

I always tend to laugh when we Igbos cry about Biafra. Its so wrong on many levels. Some even attribute some form of heroism to war as if its some heroic duty. One guy even said that let us go for a 'rematch' that if anything, history has taught him is that: those who have failed keep on trying. I laughed because history has also taught us that 'history repeats itself because man fails to learn from it'.
"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."
Waiting for insults in 5...4...3...2...

I remember when I went to submit my Direct Entry documents at Ikoyi. When the driver stopped me I said no this can't be the place. A whole JAMB office at Ikoyi looked like a deserted post office. I come dey wonder wey all the money dem dey get from the sales of JAMB form dey enter. The office still had this old carpet. It just did not suit the 'almighty' JAMB

YOU KEEP EMPHASIZING ON WAR.....WE DIDN'T SAY WAR OR U MEAN WHEN EVER FREEDOM IS SEEKED WAR SHOULD BE THE RESPONSE.....ALL AM TELLING YOU IS THAT UR GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T USE WAR TO THREATEN US BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT THE LAST ONE WHERE ELDERLY THIS TIME THE YOUTHS ARE READY IF IT RESULT TO YOUR government RESPONDING WITH WAR JUST LIKE THE LAST TIME.....SEEKING FREEDOM DOESN'T MEAN WAR BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULDN'T BE READY IF IT RESULTS TO THAT......THOUSANDS OF SOUTH EASTERN YOUTHS ARE WISHING IT GOES WITH WAR COX THEY WANT TO AVENGE THE DEATH OF THEIR FATHERS......BUT I HAVE A QUESTION.....WHY DO YOUR GOVERNMENT AND BRITISHS FREAKS OUT WHEN EVER BIAFRA IS MENTIONED.....BUT NOT SAME REACTIONS WHEN YOU MENTION AREWA OR ODUDUWA.....if there's nothing or history they want to bury they won't be this freaking cautious NIGERIA HALF BACKED THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA WAR MAYBE THATS THE REASON WE AIN'T LEARNING FROM THE HISTORY......AND WHEN AN IGBO MAN EMBARKS ON A JOURNEY HE AIN'T TURNING BACK UNTIL HE MEET HIS AIM

Dude, War is not the answer I don't have the strength to argue but one thing I will point put is the way ypu guys are going about it. Where someone rights end that's where someone own starts. This sit at home at home tomorrow is going the be a perfect example

[quote author=ezenwajosh post=56986551][/quote]I hope you know that Revolution does not necessarily mean war Social Revolution in Marxim is the total or complete transformation of socio-economic and cultural structures of the society to a new and more advanced one. It does not mean killing someone. Wait your perception of war is very different from mine

ezenwajosh:
WE NEED A REMATCH....THAT HISTORY THOUGHT US IF WE FAIL, WE TRY AGAIN. BUHARI LOST ELECTION TO JONATHAN AND HE TRIED AGAIN

What of kind of rematch? Do you even know what war is? Do you think war is some form of heroism? In war there are no winners only losers. History also thought us that we should always learn from experience. “ If history repeats itself , and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.”. George Bernard Shaw

winterfell007:
Atimes as an igbo man. I'm forced to believe that the igbos are driven by sentiments not reason. How can u name an animal 'Buhari' just to spite the him. To me that sounds unreasonable, I must condemn it because it's not right. How can the entire igbo race place their trust on man who appears to be full of hate and bitterness to lead a secessionist struggle.

U don't get what u want by throwing shades at other people, u'll end frustrating yourself the more. I implore my igbo brothers to let reason prevail before sentiments. Thanks

I support you. I don't support Biafra neither do I hate it. Its just the hatred these guys spew out everytime and I say to myself why hate people that much? The hatred is too much. Nothing founded on hate ever works

Collins0609:
Whats dis zombie saying

He is saying that you can fight Biafra but don't instigate violence in the process. If you realky know history you'll know he is making a lot of sense

IhateAfonjas:

Another heart attack for our Amala and Ewedu swallowing brothers

I saw a thread on Nairaland today where one Afonja was complaining about how he works in Port Harcourt and that the Ipob movement has taken over Port Harcourt, he went ahead to say that he wants Nnamdi Kanu to be locked up because of how influential Ipob is,
he fears he may lose his job in Port Harcourt because of the Biafra movement

I just saw the post he is right to a certain extent 30th of May should be seen as a public holiday. I don't think he said anything bad but I doubt if Biafra supporters will leave Kanu

SalamRushdie:
Nigeria always celebrates its disgusting reprobates and Soyinka is one of such reprobates whose primary legacy is the introduction of blood oaths a day cultist into our tertiary institutions yet today he is being celebrated just like reprobate Dino and friends

See yourself? Soyinka formed the cult as an avenue for challenging policies that did not favour the students in the university. It was formed to fight for the rights of students and not the murderous and viloent group it is today. You can say that it has been hijacked. I think you should always be correct before saying something to avoid situations like this

Can't you guys argue without the insults? Its not good na... When there was a referendum in Scotland to leave or remain in the United Kingdom, I don't ever recall both sides insulting each other the way you guys do. This is a global forum and people from other countries visit everyday. They see how you guys insult one another. It does not look good at all

Which side in Ilasa? Ilasa that is too tight no place to build house again. How can someone build a house in Ilasa that the houses look like they were sewn together. You can't even differentiate a building from the next building because of the way they were built.

donsiqua:
They said a mere mention of his name send shivers down the spine of Nigeria soldiers back then. Especially with what happened at Abagana where the troops he commanded burnt down 96 Nigerian military vehicles and munitions. This guy is truly a legend.

Yeah, Achebe wrote about it in his book: 'There was a country'. The Federal forces were caught unaware. The few that were alive did not know what hit them

The raid instilled a kind of belief in the Biafran forces that the war should go on

Nwakaumu:
iF you want to appreciate how humane IPOB ve been,go to a central mosque in Kano and shout that Muhammed is a bastard and that Allah is the devil.I bet you,you will not live to tell the tale.Efulefu you are!

See yourself. Did I ever say I will insult Biafrans? Never! I won't do such. Everyone has the right to believe in what he or she likes, belong to what ever association he or she likes. It becomes an issue when you try to force it down my throat. We are all different our religion, culture, beliefs and that's what makes us human. Instead of you to say you disagree you just showed us how you think. You can't argue without insults. SMH

People who are saying that no one was forced to stay at home are very funny. Go out on that day and you'll see how people will intimidate you. There was one that was organised and people who opened shops were intimidated and their wares were ransacked. The 3 million Igbos killed in the war should and must be remembered but it should not be done like an order, it should be solemn. You can't say you don't support the Biafra in the East in a midst of die-hard Biafra supporters and expect your body to be complete. I did, and people came for my head (Bridget95 comes to mind.) She branded me a child that could neither write nor spell. Aunty, I greet you o.

ZaraGift:
You Igbos are evil,

In as much as I don't believe in Biafra that does not mean I support what you just said..... Stop generalizing.....Not all Igbos support Biafra

Bridget95:
this rant sounds like that of a crying toddler in pre-nursery class.

Dude you really need tutoring on essay writing and narrative essay.

I was just Lmao because you were talking like a typical Nigerian who was forced narrate in English language.

The fact that you are a lady and you support violence is surprising

azimibraun:
The most un organised struggle ever. Can some one just break the biafran structure down? I know there is a kanu who is the poster child and face of the struggle and there is a Radio Biafra. What else? If Kanu falls down and die, what is next for Biafra? Besides, the Biafran struggle is yet to pass the leadership test that solidifies a group. No major splinter group as emerged, no major internal crisis in allocation of roles, responsibilities and authority. Biafra for now is just blanket. When it gets to who gets what, when and how; we will then know if it's a genuine struggle or just a set of opportunists making noise. The crisis of specifics will soon come. Conquer them and get your Biafra. Biafra so far has passed test with an E and is failing already in the others.

See, I want to say something: I am an Igbo man and I don't support Biafra not because of any specific reason but for the selfish and greedy nature of some of us...... I once told a friend that I don't support Biafra and he told me that if it were in Aba or some parts of Delta that I would've been set ablaze by now......So I thought to myself: Is this the kind of Biafra we the Igbos want? How can you beat someone black and blue because he said he does not believe in Biafra.... and Radio Biafra is celebrating this? Not just the Radio, people too!... You call Nigeria a zoo because you say people here behave like animals. Are you any better? You post pictures of someone the armed forces tear gassed and you says this behaviour can only be found in the zoo.... You are guilty of the same thing!..... So because the young man does not agree with you.... you beat him to a pulp and you still have the guts to say that IPOB would not be held responsible? What kind of message does this pass across.... Half of Biafra supporters ask them to educate you in Biafra they'll just be staring..... I once asked one to tell me the date the Biafra war started, dude instead told me the day Nigeria got her independence....... If you like quote me..... I don't care

Marxism / Revolution na die .. political thought made me speechless

Western Political Thought?

Agozie48:
I found Political theory quite interesting because the lecturer made it simple for us , theory and practice of Marxism na die be that , don't even talk about Public administration courses that one eh I no fit shout

Yeah Po Theory is easy I haven't done Theory and Practice of Marxism.... I go do am this semester

Queenlas:
Have always visited here as guest jus decided to register atleast to be able to write this
I see ways by which tribalism comes to play in this forum and I wonder if mods are doing anything to curb these
At slightest opportunity what u hear is, it's them the IPOB, Afonja or the Fulani's, all sorts of things and ave always SMH cus only if they know what pictures u are painting to the outsiders Abt ur country(cus am sure foreigners also visit here)
I'm a Yoruba and my partner is from the East n I must tell u I ave never regretted this, same with many other people whose relationship wt d neighboring tribe had brought them good luck.
Mind you ave experienced betrayal from relating with friends from d other side but I believe it not about wia they come from, its just a thing of being human
I understand poverty can be detrimental cus most people that engage in this are those who might be economically unstable or unemployed, cus as a matter of fact if you are the industrious type you will realize that progress is all about collectivity irrespective of differences. Treat everyone with love and u will be surprised by growth that will come ur way
#weallneedEachother
N mind you sensible Nigerians love themselves

God bless you a million times..... That's what I have been saying since...... its pathetic....... Wait they (the people you criticized) will come for your head....

bnanzip:
I went to buy a tricycle day before yesterday and they said it is 670k and I asked if it is a car I wanted buying. They said it is dollar that has gone up and I told the person dollar is no more going up and naira has appreciated so why the increase? They just laughed and I walked out.
Nigerians, the CBN is making efforts to reduce the rates but things will still remain high because we prefer to cheat than to actually do business.

That'sthe reality... we Nigerians are very selfish... When Dollar was high people were blaming the high cost of goods on Dollar but now people are still doing the same thing. Why? Greed..... True maybe Luxury goods like Cars should still be expensive but commodities like Tomatoe, Vegetables should not be.. but sellers will still blame it on old stock

Ask if the house has water.. its the most important thing even if the house is built on Gold and has no water na wash

E concern me.... ?

Personally, I don't think you should use this lady's picture as a meme... she had a rare disease and passed away recently

Verify their stories before posting it.... some posts are just lies... either to appeal to a certain ethnic group or a particular religion... most stories here are lies or were just fabricated.....and this can be very costly especially religious, political and tribal issues....because some people just believe some things without verifying... like I said earlier this can be very costly.
...I have learnt to take stories I see here with a pinch of salt

How one feels when he/she falls in love is not the issue.....its the feeling you have when you know that someone you love also loves you.. now that's a feeling...

PresidentRich:
both of( you and edudguy) are Childish. You don't take time to read to comprehend before you bulge out your ignorance.

Ojukwu never had the intention to war against Nigeria. Even after the pogrom of 1966, he was interested in unifying the two regions by ordering the Igbos to go back and start up life in Nigeria.

He(Ojukwu of blessed memory) knew he has no military power to fight Nigeria had to negotiate with Gowon at Aburi (Aburi Accord).

Gowon rejected the agreement( after he has signed and agreed with Ojukwu based on the agreement) days after.

Ojukwu declared plainly "on Aburi I stand"
Aburi-Accord is not about Biafra, is about running Nigeria through Confederacy.

Ojukwu never shot the first bullet, he never moved his army to fight Nigeria.
The war came to him and he had to defend himself.

Next time pls if you are a child don't comment on any topic in this forum until you get wisdom to comment on any issue.

Like I said in my response to another person, forgive me if I implied that Ojukwu started the war

But one thing I just want to point out was that the war started as a Police Action to arrest Ojukwu.... In response Ojukwu made a plan to seize Lagos (his reason I don't know) The Igbos breezed through Delta and Edo because there was little or no resistance they however got stuck in Ore (modern day Ondo state) where they were countered by the Nigerian Army...It was after this War was declared by the Nigerian Army.....In Achebe's Novel 'There was a Country' Achebe pointed out that Ojukwu had already been planing for war if negotiations failed... there were, many negotiations including delegates sent to Eastern Nigeria... but it was already clear that it was going to be futile because of tje progroms that happened in the North and the Country's indifference. Achebe also noted that there was rumour of war and people had already started moving from their homes into forests...

When Zik withdrew his support for Biafra he openly criticized Ojukwu for not consulting him and the Premier of the Eastern Region (Michael Opara) before going to war.... because the Eastern Region were not prepared to go to war beacuse it did not have the ammunition the Nigerian Army....

Achebe criticised Gowon and Ojukwu for their stubbornness in refusing to end the war that claimed millions of lives he blamed it on their ego and their inner circles (those who advised both men....)

Achebe also noted that after the war broke out... the Nigerian Government offered Biafra Confederacy but Biafra said no that it was a fight to the finish... with reality staring down on Biafra, the same Biafra offered the Nigerian government Confederacy and Ojukwu personally appealed to international organisations andthe world to negotiate but the Nigerian government seeing it was winning the war refused and saidit was willing to fight till the end.....
Ojukwu also refused to accept aid when clearly he knew millions of Children were starving to death

It was clear that Ojukwu did not put other things into consideration before engaging in war with Nigeria.... Gown on his own part was not true to his own word

So the Civil War is not something you can really point accusing fingers at one person both parties were wrong


Now, Mr PresidentRich and bounty007 who is ignorant amongst the three of us? Who is Childish amongst the three of us?

Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. - Isaac Asimov

kingzizzy:
Dont talk like a fool. Did Ojukwu start any war? It was Nigeria and Gowon that started the war. It was far incumbent on Gowon as head of state to prevent war than Ojukwu.

Gowon should not have declared war without first giving dialogue a chance. How you go to kill those you claim are your brothers without giving peace a chance first?

Gowon broke the Aburi agreement
Gowon ordered 'Police action'
Gowon declared war

Gowon caused the civil war all for access to Oil money

Forgive me, if I may have implied that Ojukwu started the war. You said Police Action... That's how the Civil War started everyone thought it was just going to be a small issue that it became a full blown war... The Biafran Army wanted to seize Lagos... they breezed Delta and Edo and got stuck in Ore (Ondo State) they successfully passed Delta and Edo because there was little or no resistance but in Ore they were met with resistance the Nigerian Army countered hence the begininng of the war.... The Civil War was caused by two things
1. Injustice, Freedom
2. Greed and inexperience of very two naive soldiers (Gowon and Ojukwu)

P. S Don't call me a fool... I don't remember insulting anyone
