At the close of World War2,Western Europe reconciled with Germany.All the bitterness towards Germany even after all the atrocities committed by Germany under Adolph Hitler was let to die.Six million Jew's were Slaughtered yet[b] Israel and Germany[/b] are friends today.Let us forgive and move on.

Because your lands are inhabitable and the poverty in the SE is the stuff of legends.... ...you migrate out of desperation for survival like the Syrians etc.... ...we have an enabling environment and allow you live.....and then you insult us... ...your people are haters...sorry but it's the truth.....your jealousy will be your undoing as we gradually make it clear to you that you must by fire...by thunder....respect your hosts...[/s]

There is what is called being proactive rather than reactive..... ...if the IB had moved to contain the flow of arms after Ghadaffi was overthrown....we would not have been in this mess.... .....I am sure you heard Baba in his recent interview saying he was prepared to send Nigerian troops to Libya to fight them there....that is the mark of leadership...

Don't know the brand of ogogoro some of these ND people even take that distorts their senses.
They just end up giving the good ones bad names.
Why can't this dimwit tell Tompolo to submit himself to court.This is d way they have allowed touts and militants become their leaders while good,honest,dedicated men waste away.

Mention the Igbo political actor that was killed?
A popular figure not a soldier like Unegbe?
You all just skewed history to claim victimhood as if you were saints. In all these begging posts I've seen from you, you make it sound as if Igbo's were the angels of the whole story and that is even far worst a damned lie than any Yoruba's can conjecture.
If Yoruba's are lies as some of you folks convinced yourselves to be, then Igbo's are more than liars. For in all accounts, Yoruba's have tacitly and openly admit the highhandedness of the side it supported in the ill-fated Civil War but you guys always painted that you were just laffing around when suddenly they hates you and began to kill you. For a day, you ain't own up to the foolery your forbears played by dancing on the grave of Ahmadu Bello.
Even in present day, you folks have refused to call your IPOB to order on their wild-goose chase but cries genocide on the acts of the state against them. While I totally condemn the acts of the military in that video, I do not in a bit either support the IPOD guys. They are overstepping their boundaries and anyone that attempts to mess with the edge of a sharp knife will have a deep cut to contend with.

Often times I wonder why IPOBs and so called Biafrans talk about the civil war and quickly link it with genocide. I wonder too why half of a yellow sun movie adopted from the book of same name will try to portray the Nigerian government in bad light without actually narrating the whole event as it occurs. It is a shame too that history is no longer taught in schools like in the old past and many supposedly educated youths are naive.

What actually happened before the civil war?

There was a Igbo Coup.. The first coup d'etat in Nigeria. Almost all of the coupists were of Igbo origin. Not a single Igbo blood was shed. Lots of Northerners and Yorubas lost their lives. Worst still, there was jubilation amongst the Igbos. Songs were made to mock the dead. Hilarious pictures mocking the dead was circulated by the Igbos. No Igbo leader or group came out to condemn the coup. An Igbo man by the name Aguyi Ironsi became the head of state. His government shielded and refused to punish the Igbo coupists which was all the majority of the northerners and the Yorubas wanted. Igbos in the north were publicly in support of the coup even though northerners were in mourning. The deaths of the northerners and the Yorubas were uncalled for and an unprovoked attack. These are what eventually led to the civil war. This is what the IPOB and Biafran agitators don't mention.

The first coup led to a counter coup where many Igbo and a few Yorubas lost their lives. The northerners took over and in retaliation of their support for the first coup, northerners started killing them. They fled to the east in droves. Ojukwu declared Biafra.

ladyF:
Pertinent questions like does US have a hand in this Boko Haram? Who ordered those weapons? Who supplied it? Who sponsored it? Where were they headed to? Could it be a politician who brought in supplies for his thugs?

Hope this would not get swept under the carpet like one time in one administration where a private jet belonging to a man of God was used to bring guns and bazookas et al.

OduaVanguard:
That right there plus Ironsi's failure to punish the coup plotters (considering that ironsi, himself an igbo, was also beneficiary of the "failed" coup), this angered the North and triggered a vengeful counter-coup and unprecedented pogrom that in effect led to the civil war.

I am sure that somebody that looks like PMB once abused your womanhood as a child. I understand if PMB reminds you of that experience, whoever you are, i am sure you ve no respect for your father

Olabestonic001:
You can never trust any human govt. NEVER.
How won't America classify such atrocities and declassify it about 4 decades later?
America committed a genocide by killing VIRTUALLY ALL THE RED INDIANS who once occupied America; The Mohicans, Delaware's etc. They also once committed genocide on Vietnam. Most human govt ALWAYS like "removing anyone on their paths" and the cases of various Civil Wars in various countries will tell you basically that both divides of agitating govt always tow the paths of genocide or its potential (or should I say democide?)
Let me give you an example, during the Nigerian Civil War, Biafra knew to win Nigeria it must seize Lagos. The only way to do that is to march on Lagos. The people of Ore and Ijebu did not want such, hence they attempted to deny them the Right of Passage( anyway, its Ore and Ijebu land of course). Biafran soldiers became angry, wanted to force their ways and in the process of defense by Ore and Ijebu natives, they massacred some of them (well, we could term that a genocide). This drew the erstwhile Yoruba tribe into the battle which remains the critical point in the Civil War.
Were Ore and Ijebu not right in refusing advancing rebels right of passage? Why massacre them because you have more military might? Was the reprisal not too cruel? Should Biafrans have looked on while Federal troops were using Ore has a launchpad against them? All these questions will always be answered in bias. History (depending on whose side you hear it from) will always play on our emotions and intelligence. The best we can always do is bury the ghost of the Civil War and outgrow our individual and collective pains (my father will always remind me that Biafrans killed 2 of his best friends but I always remind him Federal Troops killed over 2millions of Biafrans). The pains will always be there till the ghosts are buried.

Ovamboland:
SE have never voted along same line with SW in any election in Nigeria, with exception of OBJ second term maybe.

SS is a more reliable partner to SW interests, only problem is the guy they presented in 2011 and supported by SW turned out to be buffoon and ha to be eased out. We understand why SS could not agree with this but they have since moved on leaving SE holding the short end as usual
