samkoro: May be Oduduwa is as silly as u are ,because no one survives a fall from the sky and remains sane.That survivor must remain insane and give birth to insane people.

One moment u will deny what Awolowo did,and the next moment u will agree he did it because he can't feed his enemies(innocent,armless women and children).You are no ashamed that your race is linked to such evil. I stand here to say that my race ,in retrospect and in future will not be linked with an evil of such magnitude.

Useless blood suckers that do not give a damn about human life.Evil race that rejoice in the death of another.

Sadist race that will stab one in the back and smile pretensiously in the persons face.

Wicked and atrocious race that praised and exalted the name of Adekunle Scorpion and gave him the titlle of Are onokakanfo of Yoruba land in the midst of the war for killing innocent men,women and children while he shies away from facing soldiers.

God will visit the sins of your fathers on you.God will listen to the cries of those innocent souls that was murdered by your fathers.

Amen for you too. Vagabond tribe. Tribe that has been cursed to be hated by the entire world. Better go find deliverance from the evil juju that is pursuing you all over the place. Of course your Biafra soldiers were coming to Lagos to give our children ice cream. Bloody murderers. You want to start killing people everywhere but when you get a taste of your own medicine you begin to cry like monkey. Buffoon.

noblezone: Not until we hoist the Biafran flag.

Not until you hoist flag. That line always cracks me up. Haven't you realised that you people are self-destructive persons who are being restrained for your own good ? I keep asking myself these questions :
1. Why do Igbos always believe that every one else hates them ? is this not some sort of madness ?
2.Why do Igbos keep wandering all over the place and leave your "biafra" where you want to hoist flag undeveloped ? Some evil spirit dey puruse you ?
Stop smoking igbo, ok ?

Awake9ja: mr.poloma you are indeed a fool. why cant yorubas give it a rest?

must you guys behave like women all the time.

talk brief like a man, act like a man and live as men.

Why don't Ibos like Achebe give it a rest. And does Poloma sound like Yoruba name to you ?

samkoro: May be you are deaf,dumb and blind.Do I need to say it a million times before you know.Is ur conscience telling you that its you or something?

Anu ohia! Ndi ohii. !!

Talk your bush language as much as you like. I don't understand it so I will just disregard. If Yoruba are your enemies what does that make Hausa ? Friend or enemy? Do you know the meaning of paranoia ? I think your forefathers have done something very evil and therefore all of you are born mad, suspicious of everyone and condemned to be wandering imbeciles for the rest of your life amen. Just imagine, you go to war expecting your enemy to feed you. Is that not the height of buffoonery? Ha! Igbo! Na wa for una o.

samkoro: What kind of a lie is this.

He dragged the yoruba to war against the Igbos.He was not neutral in the war!!! Are u dumb?What we wanted was for him to stay out if he is not fighting,but he did not.He rather chose to take sides and ended up murdering 3million innocent lives which the Yoruba nation cherished and still celebrates till today.The great Awo.

The did had been done,and the perpetrator paid with his life.

So there is nothing wrong with the igbos knowing the enemy.That enemy still lives and does his usual thing till taday.

Aha! Oro eyin ibo yi ma su mi o. Who are these 'enemies' ? Dem no get name ? You mean Hausa people ? Talk am now . Even on internet where your face is hidden and nobody knows your real name fear still dey catch you to mention Hausa.You dey fear suya knife abi ? Look at the people shouting cowardice.O ma se o.

advocate666: Ewu. See Yoruba man reasoning. So I should live my life based on the decisions of the children of Achebe and Ojukwu? This is the reason you are backwards and can never understand the igbo man. You think we are yourselves that worship your kings and kabiyesis. We are individualistic republicans. We fought the war not because of Ojukwu nor Achebe but because it was the right thing to do at that time.
At least the children of igbo leaders are doing well. Where are the children of Yoruba jailbird leaders?

Ode ni e. Individuaistic republicans indeed

How Gowon Re-integrated The Igbos
By
Haruna Poloma

THE ghost of the Biafran rebellion of 1966 - 1970 (note 1966, not 1967) was recently resurrected by Chinua Achebe, when he stirred the hornet’s nest in a war memoir provocatively titled “There Was A Country”. Whether that controversial title is an attempt to ascribe post-mortem “state-status” to the failed dream of a sovereign Biafra, or a present-day denial of the collapse - 42 years ago - of that misadventure by a present-day octogenarian, or simply a continuation of the revisionism by pro-Biafra sympathizers keen on re-writing a version of the war history favourable to their dream, remains open to debate.
I happen to belong to a generation that was born around the war period, which places me in my mid-forties today. Now in a country with a life expectancy of 45 years, one should feel lucky to still be alive to witness elders, at least twice one’s age, commenting on events that correspond in occurrence to the time of one’s birth. But that sense of gratitude is violently affronted when the comments of one such elder and a venerated scholar, Chinua Achebe, distort historical facts. His reckless allegation of “genocide” against General Yakubu Gowon, who ruled Nigeria at the war period, is not only a gross fabrication but tantamount to biting the very fingers that fed the Igbos at a difficult and trying moment of brutal conflict, when a less sympathetic and more vengeful character would have acted with severe and drastic ruthlessness.
As soon as Achebe’s account went viral on the social media, I became tempted to revisit the entire catalogue of the false assertions in the book that I deemed untrue, and to bring historical evidence to bear in their refutation. But for reasons of time and space, I have chosen simply to enumerate some of the policies implemented by General Gowon, both in the course of the Biafran rebellion and its aftermath in order to facilitate the re-integration and rehabilitation of our Igbo brothers and sisters into a federal Nigeria, rather than pursue a pointless contestation with Achebe. I consider such approach more beneficial to our younger generation for whom the Biafran rebellion is only a distant history, just as the 2nd World War appeared to my own generation.
The first thing to note about Gowon’s attitude to the Biafran rebellion was that he refused to view the conflict as a war with a foreign foe. Accordingly he declared a “police action” rather than a war against the secessionists. And this came only after seven different attempts by the OAU at peaceful resolution of the conflict, in addition to the “Aburi” meeting and subsequent fateful declaration of secession by Ojukwu. Moreover, in the course of the armed confrontation itself, General Gowon directed the issuance of a code of conduct for all federal troops, which required the rebel forces to be treated “fairly and decently” as well as the strict observance of the Geneva Convention in the course of operations by federal troops.
Specifically, the code of conduct required that under no circumstances should pregnant women be ill-treated or killed. Children must not be molested or killed; they should be protected and cared for. Hospitals, Hospital staff and patients should not be molested. Biafran soldiers who surrender will not be killed, but disarmed and treated as prisoners of war and were entitled in all circumstances to humane treatment and respect for their person and honour. No property, building, etc was to be destroyed maliciously and no looting of any kind was permitted. Women were to be protected against attack on their person and honour, and in particular against rape or indecent assault. Wounded soldiers and civilians were to be protected and given medical care, etc. General Gowon also agreed with his field commanders that no medals will be given to any soldier on the federal side after the war, as the conflict was an internal affair between brothers. Note that no similar code was issued or observed on the side of Biafra.
After the cessation of hostilities, General Gowon declared a general amnesty to all Biafran troops, which exonerated them from prosecution for treason and other war crimes and offences (no victor, no vanquished). Many soldiers who fought on the Biafran side were reabsorbed into the federal armed forces after the war. An opportunistic review of the career progression of few of the reabsorbed officers, which remains a matter of public record today, indicated that Navy Lt. O.E. Ukiwe rose through the officer corps of the Nigerian Navy to the rank of a Commodore, with which he retired in 1987. He also served as a member of the highest ruling organ, the Supreme Military Council (1975-1977), Military Governor of Niger State (1977), Military Governor Lagos State (1978), Flag Officer Commanding the Western Naval Command (1984-85), Director Naval Faculty of the Command and Staff College in Jaji (1981-84) and finally Chief of General Staff - de facto - the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1985-87).
Navy Lt. Ndubuisi G. Kanu also rose to the rank of a Rear Admiral in the Navy in addition to Military Governorship of Imo and Lagos States between 1977 and 1978, respectively. Air Force Lt. Samson Emeka Omeruah progressed through the Nigerian Air Force to attain the rank of Air Commodore, in addition to holding political appointments that included Military Governor of Anambra State, unprecedented three time appointments as Minister of Sports of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Chairmanship of the Nigerian Football Association, before his demise in December 2006. Similarly, Lt. Peter Ademokhai rose through the Officer Corps of the Nigerian Army to the rank of a Major General in addition to serving as General Officer Commanding the 1st Mechanised Infantry Division of the Nigerian Army. Army Lt. Sam Momah also rose to the rank of a Brigadier-General in addition to serving as Minister of Science and Technology of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
General Gowon’s compassion, mercy and kindness were not limited to fighting soldiers alone. He undertook the resettlement of displaced persons and rebuilding physical facilities in the east. Ex-Biafran civil servants who were in the public service at the regional level were permitted to report to their new states for reabsorbtion, while those at the federal level were also eligible for reabsorbtion into the federal service if they so desired. Each returning civil servant in the east received salary advance as “mercy pay” along with three weeks leave to enable them settle down after the war. Gowon also appointed for the first time and without precedent two Igbo civilians, Ukpabi Asika and J.O.J. Okezie, to represent the East Central State in the Supreme Military Council, which was the highest policy organ in the country.
Gowon also established a National Rehabilitation Commission under Mr. Timothy Omo-Bare and saddled it with the task of collection and distribution of drugs and other humanitarian gifts from foreign governments and international NGOs, a responsibility later transferred to the Federal Ministry of Economic Development and Reconstruction to expedite the flow of relief materials to war affected areas. Moreover, Gowon ensured that Ships carrying relief materials were granted advance clearance at Nigerian ports and accorded duty-free entry by Customs. Foreign relief workers were automatically granted visas at Nigerian Embassies abroad upon clearance with the Director of Relief Operations.
As part of the reconstruction and rehabilitation in the war affected areas, Gowon restored telephone link between Lagos and the East Central State within three months after the surrender of Biafra. The Onitsha Bridge which was the major link between the east and the west was reconstructed also within three months of the cessation of hostilities. Within a single year of ending the war, most manufacturing industries were reactivated in the east, and the cement factories in Calabar and Nkalagu were re-commissioned into production. To revamp agricultural production in the war affected areas in the east, Gowon also set up the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) to support agriculture and provide loans to farmers although many of the loan recipients in the east “diverted them to other areas of business instead of agriculture” (Ojeleye 2010, P.89).
The list of other policies by General Gowon specific to enhancing re-integration of the Igbos after the war were legion, and cannot be reasonably addressed in this brief essay. Yet 42 years after the war, revisionists afflicted with the peculiar Nigerian ailment of selective amnesia, are now re-branding the same architect of our modern Nigeria, General Gowon, as a genocidal tyrant. But what did neutral foreign observers have to say on Gowon’s reconciliation efforts? Harold Wilson the British Prime Minister characterized it as “magnanimity in victory”. The Danish Ambassador to Nigeria, Trocis Munk, commented that “where yesterday we saw recriminations, distrust and destructions, we find today reconciliation, compassion and reconstruction”. Woodrow Wyatt stated that “there can be no instance in history, certainly not in this...century, where the victors have moved so quickly to succour the defeated and to heal the wounds of war”. M. J. Dent commented that “it was unequalled for its generosity in the annals of civil conflict and a real contribution in the making of peace”.
With the benefit of hindsight, it became evident that the Biafran leadership were the very architects of Biafran destruction, who set out to mislead innocent Igbo men and women into unnecessary rebellion in gratification of their selfish motives of personal aggrandizement. Let me confine my historical evidence to support this claim by quoting the Biafran elites themselves:
[b] • “how is it possible for one young man (Ojukwu) - a young and largely inexperienced soldier at that - to impose his will for so long on some fourteen million people among who is to be found one of the highest concentrations of the intelligent and educated elite of black Africa?” – Raph Uwechue;
• “those elements of the old government regime who have made negotiations and reconciliation impossible have voluntarily removed themselves from our midst” - Phillip Effiong;
• “Emeka (Ojukwu) craved for a heroic act that would make him greater than his father...Emeka was born out of wedlock. Emeka craved for an achievement that would force his admirers to forget his (illegitimate) birth...what turned Emeka into a bedroom Napoleon...was a complex of inadequacy” – Nelson Ottah;
• “Ojukwu rejected advice time and again on the need for timely compromise... (and the Biafran masses)...enslaved by an extremely efficient propaganda network and cowed by the iron grips of a ruthless military machine, had neither the facts nor the liberty to form an independent opinion” - Raph Uwechue;
• “The failure of Biafra’s leadership to acknowledge the absolute necessity for a compromise, even in the face of overwhelming odds, not only prolonged the war but ensured it ended the way it did...Thus did an insensitive group, clinging to sovereignty at all costs, succeed in taxing to exhaustion the resources of one of Africa’s most gifted races” – Raph Uwechue.[/b]
I rest my case.

advocate666: may Sango thunder blaster your family. Ewu Yoruba. Who needs your love?

Guy why are you so bitter ? Your wife run away to yoruba man? Sorry o !
Where are the children of Ojukwu and Achebe on NL? Nowhere to be found. They are all doing well all over the world and using children of inconsequential fathers such as you are and who have nothing to do to continue shouting Biafra like onye ara . Take am easy o.If dem admit you Yaba left now your family no even get money to pay.

dabrake: why is our presido stealing nigga raw's line nah(in love with an angel)?

Nigga Raw stole it from Awolowo , you small pikins

advocate666: Good. Because we don't want to marry or do business with useless, ugly, Yoruba eating, betraying, cowardly, aboki slaves.

So in your (lack of) culture bad soup (ofenmanu) is a great curse. This shows that your brain is in your stomach. Probably made from akpu too. Na chineke god go punish you well well five times a day. Ewu ngwogwo.

LoL. I don diss am well well. The man no go fit chop even akamu tonite. He dey joke with me.

mko abiola: I served in a remote village in bayesa,a riverine community.
Where dey drink ,wash and do all sort of things wit d water.
My xperience was wen 1 of my student told me to impregnate her so she can follow me to Lag.because she has be hearing of lag as a big city.I laughed in ijaw language.
D rest na history.

D rest na history ? Wetin you do ? Tell me in private

None of my children knew about Biafra before But thank God they have now read Achebe's book and even god cannot persuade them to marry or do business with an Igbo now. This is what irresponsibke talk by useless old people cause. They just poisons the young people.

Slizbeat: A fact is always a fact. I hate commenting on an Igbo-yoruba thread cos at the end, there is a tribal bashing.
BTW, The prof. above has said what he feels and what he thinks its right. Achebe also said what he feels and think is right. So did Soyinka. No one would ever give you a good account of what happened that started the war except 4 OJUKWU, GOWON and AWOLOWO. Unfortunately, two are dead. Jst Gowon is remaining. Everyone is trying to protect its own tribe so as not to be labelled imposter. Soyinka did and some yorubas insulted him. This prof also did and some Igbos insulted him. The thing here is that "in this world we are, expression of how we feel is not based on 'what if', simply express yourselve and try not to impress others cos at the end, you would be on a long thing". Biafra is a war that was fought because it wasnt to impress anyone but to express how certain south easterners feel. Nigeria fought also because it has to express how most Northerners and Westerners feel. Awo did what he did to Impress the people. So did Azikiwe cos he never wanted to join the war but because of the "imposter" thing. Ojukwu did so to express himself. Same to Achebe, Soyinka and This Prof. If you are here and on other threads insulting these people mentioned and taking sides of one, then you are doing it to impress them. Say your mind and be free than doing what at the end you would regret. As for me, "what happened in '67 is history" even though i lost aunts and uncles. Both Biafra and Nigeria made a mistake, so that mistake should be noted for the betterment of the future. If you are against the igbos, or the yorubas or the hausas or achebe, or awo, or ojukwu, or this prof, then you are on a long thing. Whether one is the cause of your downfall or not, move ahead. If you keep blaming, then you would remain on a standstill. If you know what you want, go for it. A word is enough for the Wise.

One thing that baffles me is how scared shitless Ibos always are to even mention the Hausa/Fulani on NL and elsewhere. It is like whatever insult and blame that they should put on Hausas they divert it instead to Yorubas . The reason I believe is that Hausa/Fulani settle quarrels quickly, often with their suya knife but Yorubas are more refined and will just take it with a smile and go on with life. Why are most Ibos so cowardly like this ? So sad.

For your information(s) Awolowo was subordinate to a Northerner and had no absolute power to take whatever decision.The man's only sin is that he had a nasty habit of saying the wrong things at the right (or wrong) time , and this is because he was a transparent person never with a hidden agenda.He was never a perfect man and neither is any man on earth but I am sure that if roles were reversed and Yoruba's faced the same situation as the Igbo , Awolowo will certainly never abandon his people and flee , or allowed them to starve for the sake of pursuing a lost war; or collect war donations from abroad and use it to enrich self and family.Most Yorubas are like that unfortunately , and that is why Ibos feel confident to live amongst Yorubas but will always feel threatened amongst the Northerners. Funnily though they keep biting the hands that are feeding them. So sad.

alj harem: Abeg relax jare. Inyamari literal meaning means Southerner

Hausa means southerner in reference to the northern tribes of Niger.

Contrary to your belief "nyanmiri" does not mean southerners . It specifically referred to Ibo people. During the war, the constant battle chant of soldiers was "nyamiri yamutu ya kare" , which I think means "kill all Ibos , that's all"

eduson55: Nigeria exports religion, India exports cars
BY AZUKA ONWUKA

The biggest country in Africa that the United Kingdom colonised is Nigeria. The biggest country that the United Kingdom colonised in Asia is India (which then comprised the present Pakistan and Bangladesh).

When the UK came into Nigeria and India, like all other countries they colonised, they brought along their technology, religion (Christianity), and culture: names, dressing, food, and language, among others. Try as hard as the British did, India rejected the British religion, names, dressing, food, and even language, but they did not reject the British technology. Today, 80.5 per cent of Indians are Hindus; 13.4 per cent Muslims; 2.3 per cent Christians; 1.9 per cent Sikhs; 0.8 per cent Buddhists, among others. Hindi is the official language of the government of India, but English is used extensively in business and administration and has the status of a “subsidiary official language.” Interestingly, it is rare to find an Indian with an English name or dressed in suit.

On the other hand, Nigeria embraced, to a large extent, the British religion, British culture – names, dressing, foods, and language – but, ironically, rejected the British technology. The difference between the Nigerian and the Indian experiences is that while India is proud of its heritage, Nigeria takes little pride in its own heritage, a situation that has affected the nationalism of Nigerians and our development as a nation.

Before the advent of Christianity, the Arabs had brought Islam into Nigeria through the North. Islam also wiped away much of the culture of Northern Nigeria. Today, the North has only Sharia courts but no Customary courts. So from the North to the South of Nigeria, the Western World and the Eastern World have shaped our lives to be like theirs and we have lost much or all of our identity.

Long after the Whites and Arabs left Nigeria, Nigeria has waxed strong in religion to the extent that Nigerians now set up branches of their home-grown churches in Europe, the Americas, Asia and other African countries. Just like the Whites brought the gospel to us, Nigerians now take the gospel back to the Whites. In Islam, we are also very vibrant to the extent that if there is a blasphemous comment against Islam in Denmark or the US, even if there is no violent reaction in Saudi Arabia, the Islamic headquarters of the world, there will be loss of lives and destruction of property in Nigeria. If the United Arab Emirates, a country with 75 per cent Muslims, is erecting the tallest building in the world and encouraging the world to come and invest in its territory by providing a friendly environment, Boko Haram ensures that the economy of the North (and by extension that of Nigeria) is crippled with bombs and bullets unless every Nigerian converts to Boko Haram’s brand of Islam. We are indeed a very religious people.

Meanwhile, as we are building the biggest churches and mosques, the Indians, South Africans, Chinese, Europeans and Americans have taken over our key markets: telecoms, satellite TV, multinationals, banking, oil and gas, automobile, aviation, and hospitality industries among others.

Ironically, despite our exploits in religion, we are a people with little godliness, a people without scruples. It is rare to do business with a Nigerian pastor, deacon, knight, elder, brother, sister, imam, mullah, mallam, alhaji or alhaja without the person laying landmines of bribes and deception on your path. We call it PR, facilitation fee, processing fee, transport money, financial engineering, deal, or whatever. But if it does not change hands, no show. And when it is amassed, we say it is “God’s blessings.” Some people assume that sleaze is a problem of public functionaries, but the private sector seems to be worse than the public sector these days.

One would have assumed that the more churches and mosques that spring up in every nook and cranny of Nigeria, the higher the morals in our society. But it is not so. The situation is that the more religious we get, the baser we become. Our land never knew the type of bloodshed experienced from religious extremists, political desperadoes, ritual killers, armed robbers, kidnappers, internet scammers, university cultists, and lynch mobs. Life has become so cheap and brutish that everyday seems to be a bonanza.

We import petrol even when we have crude oil in abundance. We also import rice and beans that our land can produce in abundance. We even import toothpicks that primary school children can produce with little or no effort. Yet, we drive the best of cars and live in the best of edifices, visit the best places in the world for holidays and use the most expensive electronic and telecoms gadgets. It is now a sign of poverty for a Nigerian to ride a saloon car. Four-wheel drive vehicles are the in thing. Even government officials, who were known to use only Peugeot products as official cars as a sign of modesty, have upgraded to Toyota Prado as official vehicle without any iota of shame, in a country where about 70 per cent live below poverty line. Private jets have become as common as cars. A nation that imports toothpicks and pins flaunts wealth and wallows in ostentation at a time its children are trooping to Ghana, South Africa and the UK for university education and its sick people are running to India for treatment.

India produces automobile and exports it to the world. India’s medical care is second to none, with even Americans and Europeans travelling to the country for medical treatment. India has joined the nuclear powers nations. India has launched a successful mission to the moon. Yet bicycles and tricycles are common sights in India. But in Nigeria, only the wretched of the earth ride bicycles.

I have intentionally chosen to compare Nigeria with India rather than China, South Korea, Brazil, Malaysia, or Singapore, because of the similarities between India and Nigeria. But these countries were not as promising as Nigeria at the time of our independence.

Some would say that our undoing is our size: the 2012 United Nations estimate puts Nigeria’s population at 166,000 million, while India has a population of 1.2 billion. Some would blame it on the multiplicity of ethnic groups: we have 250 ethnic groups, India has more than 2,000. Some would hang it on the diversity in religion: we have two major religions — Christianity and Islam; but India has many. Some would say it is because we are young as an independent nation: we have 52 years of independence; India has 65 years. Apartheid ended in South Africa only in 1994.

I am a Christian, and nothing can change me from Christianity. But I think that our country is daily sinking into religiosity to the detriment of godliness. Our land is sick and needs healing. “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” is still a saying that is germane to our current situation. We need more godliness than religion; more work and less of hope; and more action and less of words.

Let everyone tidy up his or her corner first and demand fervently that our leaders tidy their areas of governance. Our nation is degenerating at a fast pace and we need to save it now or it may be too late. via PUNCH

Absolute trash. You have said nothing new and even failed to add that the Indians don't go lamenting their situation on the Internet; they simply go do something about it, like working hard at some unusual thing instead of riding okada all over the place in the name of unemployment. To add insult to injury you end your litany of woes by quoting Bible - exactly what the crap you have written condemns ; and a typically Nigerian response to practically everything.I am sure you have never been out of Nigeria else you should know that much of your assertions about India exists only in your head.And for your information Nigerians also own strong businesses in other countries.I know you will ask next why not in Nigeria? That is their own business. Everyone has the right to take their business anywhere they wish. It is a free world.

odumchi: Hey Nairalanders, I decided to create an interesting yet educative contest for you guys. I'm going to post photos and you guys will have to determine which ethnic group is represented in that particular photograph.

The winner will receive a prize.

What is the prize. I will not crack my brain for N100 recharge card.

pastormustwacc: ^^^sorry, i was going to hell before, but after i saw some things on that road, i changed my mind and realigned myself to the heavenly path with the help of Jesus.

Why do you wish so much to go to hell? Whatever, just make sure you at least enjoy yourself very well on this realm - so that it wont be double punishment.
- Hasta la vista, but remember there is yet hope for you while you are still alive

Wrong answer. The questio was not for me and you but for people who don't mind going to hell. Do you now understand ?

When you get to hell, what is the first question you wil ask devil?

tobechi74: When you get to heaven, what is the first question you wil ask God?

If you aim to go ask God questions you aint getting anywhere near heaven.

Konsult07: 10 BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS:
#BE AWARE!

1. No Breakfast: People who do nottake breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. Th is leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing braindegeneration.

2. Overeating: It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking: It causes multiple brainshrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar Consumption: Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution: The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation: Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping: Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness : Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well asdamage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts: Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely: Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

I love this quote by the poet Taban lo Liyong :
".... as dead as the Ibo gods when Biafra fell"

I saluted that man's sense of metaphor.

hugafella: I have read all you guys have said, and it seems like Afghanistan in here. But lets be objective. First of all, the justification for the war is unquestionable. A pogrom of any kind must be resisted.Secondly, I would be better prepared in a war if you spelled it out right from the outset that you were my enemy. But when you suddenly become a turncoat and betray me right in the middle of things, it becomes rather painful. Awo, whether we like to hear it or not did not act like a fine gentleman. He remained on the fence and surprisingly aligned with our enemies to harm us. 2 million children starved to death, those kids were the future generation of engineers, lawyers, soldiers, or professors. They were not fighters. The Ojukwu I know would never have done that to the Yorubas. But the good news is that we have moved on. Afterall, I dare anyone to tell me any tribe that has more faith in the Nigeria project than the ibo man. This is self evident in his willingness to invest in and develop all nooks and crannies of the land. The questions we should be asking is this: who are the true patriots? Is it those who invest in all parts of Nigeria? Or those who would prefer to destroy Nigeria if they cannot rule? Put in another way, we can now see how far Awo's actions have brought us. Are we now more united in Nigeria?is Nigeria moving forward? Have the hausa not squandered our collective resources? Even though they contribute little? But some people seem to be comfortable in the face of injustice, while others confront it head on. The latter group should never be criticized for doing so. Because, it is because of such critics that Nigeria is where it is today. My final point- never be afraid of your past. No matter how ugly, They inform your future decisions. If you don't know where you are coming from, you can't know where you are going.

You say all this as if you were there. And of course Achebe can keep this up because Awo and Ojukwu are dead. You speak in a truly duplicitous and unreasonably over- emotional Igbo manner. Anyway as I said before my earliest unfortunate encounter with Ibo people as a child was of them coming to steal our chicken in the night while we slept. That habit hasn't changed much.
