jp philips:
you know very little about this country. Afam power plant was operational during the civil war, it was the Nigerian forces that took it out to keep Biafra in darkness. However, since after the war, Afam has experienced several upgrades till date.
there was another power plant in oji, visited that one on excursion even before 1990. truth is; the military weren't as bad as the civilians painted them. though I believe their abuse of human right, gave birth to an era of less impunity hence the development we witnessed at the time, unlike now. You are absolutely correct |

IGBO-SON:
^^^Profound statement! That's why i laugh at peeps that say, 'you went to war with cutlass and we crushed you guys'!
How come they couldn't defeat 'little' Biafra in one year, but needed the help of countries like Egypt and world powers to 'crush' them?......shamelessly handing over Bakassi in the process!
If not for some miscalculations Ojukwu made, coupled with short sighted actions of traitors nearer home....if not for this, we could have witnessed a new dawn for all the peoples that make up the area formerly known as Southern Nigeria and the colony/protectorate of Lagos! We would have been the greatest black nation/s on mother earth! If the super powers didn't send benjamin adekunle, Nigeria would not defeat biafra |

Katsumoto:
There were massacres in 1945 and 1953, the one in 1966 wasn't the first. The various ethnic groups were very different; the British were aware of that but hadn't made any serious plans towards integration for whatever reasons. The issues which existed in 1940 still exist today; there isn't only a lack of understanding of other cultures but an intolerance of other cultures.
Let me give you an example - When American firms started doing business with Japanese firms in the 1970s and 1980s, there were many problems between American and Japanese employees. American managers treated Japanese subordinates as they would treat an American. For instance, public humiliation is frowned upon in Japan but American Managers were fond of humiliating japanese workers. Similarly, American managers want to make quick decisions. Japanese managers typically agree with everything in a meeting because open disagreements with outsiders is alien to the Japanese. So the Americans assumed everything was going well only for the Japs to delay making a decision or pull out altogether. These frictions led to what is known as Cultural Dimensions by Geert Hofstede. As a result of his work, when managers are going on foreign assignments today, they have to learn the culture of the host country.
When Nigerians move all around the country, they take their cultural norms with them, which sometimes puts them in open or unspoken conflict. When these issues aren't addressed quickly, they gather a life of their own which results in riots and pogroms. My position is that if anyone is going to live outside their region of origin, they need to understand the cultures of the host region. There are individuals who are very good at these but unfortunately, they get caught up in these disturbances when an ignorant few prefer to be indifferent or intolerant.
See below for a conversation between Zik and Bello
ZIK: “LET US FORGET OUR DIFFERENCES AND MOVE ON”.
THE SARDUANA: “AZIKIWE, WE CAN NOT FORGET OUR DIFFERENCES. LET US UNDERSTAND OUR DIFFERENCES TO BE ABLE TO MOVE ON”.
Now back to your question. After the January coup, there were allegations of taunting of Hausas by Igbos. Offensive photographs showing Major Nzeogwu standing on the late Sardauna of Sokoto were said to be distributed in the open including market places. Some Igbos were even alleged to have worn stickers to that effect and were eager, in conversations with northerners, to point to Nzeogwu saying ‘Shi ne maganin ku”, meaning “he is the one who can knock sense into you”. Grammophone records with machine gun sounds were released, to remind Northerners, it is said, of the bullets that felled their leaders in January. The questions is - If this wasn’t true, why did Ironsi issue orders that anyone displaying provocative pictures or singing offensive songs would be arrested for incitement and would face 3 months imprisonment or 50 pounds fine or both (Decree 40)?
Maybe a few were guilty of these actions but ultimately, it led to deep seated hatred of Ndigbo by the Northerners which unfortunately resulted in the pogroms. And this nonsense still happening today, ibos never learn 1 Like |
