DonVikings:Dont mind that cretin... Go to google and search cannibalism in Nigeria, then come back to tell me the race they will bring out. |
[s] stephanie11:[/s]Trash, Wetin concern me with respect for robbers, I should respect those that eat my sweat. We don't care about pdp here. They should go to hell. |
Guestlander:Imagine, the man even said Benjamin adekunle committed genocide against unharmed igbos. Of which, Benjamin was in Lagos and no even on the war front. Adekunle only stepped in when the war enters ore. That man can lie ehn |
jomonic:Are you not his follower, why will you know when he told you to attack Yoruba pastors because the truth is out. You are asking for evidence. Can you give me any evidence where Yoruba killed igbos in the western part of Nigeria, and I will give you evidence where you bombed casino where thousands of Yorubas are. Bla bla bla. Igbo cannot plane to kill other people, I think those we watched on YouTube are from Eritrea looking for Hausas to hack to death. No Yoruba man ever attacked you or kill you in the west, you can prove me wrong if there is any but with concrete evidence like the one we saw on YouTube. Keep deceiving yourself in the name of the most high, you think he's a biased God ba. He knows your tactics that is why he didn't answer you. Stop comparing yourselve to Israel, Israel never killed anyone other people's leader and mocked them too, they never ordered their citizens to attack others and never for once look for Egyptians to kill. They never do any victim cry, that is why God is on their side. You hate others but you are the first to cry if hatred. People are wiser. No one falls for that anymore. Mind that. |
bughead:Oga commot, I worked on site where gas turbine is being installed. Phone call is forbidden when on site. |
jomonic:Just negodu, what crab is this one saying? You shouted hatred. But we all watched you on YouTube looking for Hausas in the bus. Those hausas you were looking for, you want to play with them or show love to them with cutlasses in your hands ba. Kanu telling you to attack Yorubas when you see them is act of love and humanity ko. You want to eat your cake and have it. Same way you killed western n northern in the past, still mocking them that you killed their leaders like chicken that infuriated them and made them killed you in hundreds, only for you to come to Lagos that didn't have any attack on you to bomb the Yorubas inside casino. And you expect us to forget even though we didn't react cos of that. You are joking. You people planted seeds of hatred but want to harvest love, who does that. You want to sell a Sandy goods but not ready to collect a stony money. You must be a comedians. Abeg, who hold you down? If you are really ready to leave, all of you should leave west and go back home. Abeg carry your victim cry away from here. You think the world did not see your handwork. And you never wondered why God did not answer your prayers. Commot abeg. |
Duru1:This one must be at that war front. You really tried. |
russellino:Childish taunt. I didn't remember inviting you to comment in the first place. Let agree what Achebe heard or was told. ![]() |
HtwoOw:Are you this ignorance? Why do you think receiving call on site is prohibited. |
jomonic:For saying the truth. Now tell me, what is anything hatred in what was posted here. Why are you people love playing victim? Happy no one is falling for that anymore. We are only discussing the past, but cos you people have no point, you decided to put emotion. Keep wallowing in ignorance. |
patrick89:Lol, OK, I will start believing what I was told. Achebe, Achebe. I was told, I heard. Very laughable ![]() |
imhotep:Respond you, so I should tell you what I was told also ![]() |
imhotep:I am just laughing at you . |
russellino:You can continue to drink the I was told fallacy that chief revisionist Achebe gave you. ![]() |
imhotep:Oh, hate cos I said he lied in his book. So if I love him, I should believe in what he said he was told? |
T9ksy:I just weak for them. Achebe that always put in his book 'I was told'. Saying someone that was in the war front is lying but beloved in I was told someone. |
imhotep:World acclaimed that Swim in lies and deceit ko? |
imhotep:Is this the best weapon you have . Even your revisionist Achebe never mentioned the bombing of casino in Lagos by biafrans. He only shout what he was told. I shame for that man. Still wondering why he refused to come out when isama dared him to come out in 2012 so they can confront themselves. |
konoplyanka:What does he know. Can he stand his last kid. ![]() |
imhotep:Isama was in the war front, he was never told. He is in the picture. Was Achebe that stired lies for you to drink ever been to the war front. He wrote bullshit story based on hearsay. I was told this, was told that. Chai. This is so laughable. Even as isama said his own, we here never believed him totally despite been at the war front. But you people. Make i close mouth as I dey shame for una ![]() |
patrick89:Why will there a prove. But if it was Achebe that posted the pictures, there would be enough prove . Even with the one having guest house having aba in the pics. No be ipob again, they will be saying fake but will never bring facts to destroy the fake post. Just negodu ![]() |
imhotep:You think I am a fool like you that digested what Achebe told you. He's not even ashamed, he still said, 'I was told', ' we were told'. And the way he packaged the lies, one would think he was on the war front. ![]() |
imhotep:One thing I love about the guy is the pictures he used to killed the lies told by Achebe about an event he never participated in. ![]() |
Amarabae:What is this one saying? Do you think they are talking about bed warming here? |
[s] nawtyme:[/s]Trash, how many times have you called your tribesmen to order. Victim criers oshi. At the news. I dust my hand for these people. |
imhotep:Ok, he's a broke man. But has been able to send his wards to schools abroad. How broke can pass that one. He debunk your lying Achebe in 2012 and challenged him to come out to confront him but your lying boss couldn't cos he won't be able to defend himself. He even lied about when PH was captured. ![]()

imhotep:The truth shall prevail no matter the lies Achebe put down on the war he never participated or he said himself he was told.

C. But here is what happened. Achebe’s book page 171 (1) Food was short, meat was very short, and drugs were short. (2) Thousands - no millions by then-had been uprooted from their homes and brought into safer areas; but where they really had no relatives, no property, many of them lived in school buildings and camps. d. Here are my points. (1) They ran from all over Nigeria to safety in their homes (2) The war got there, they were uprooted again for safety. (3) This time where they had no homes or relatives (4) I think that somebody is warped and with low IQ. (5) It was all talk and no substance e. Here is how Udenwa nicely put this in his book pages 97 and 98. ....By the middle of July, 1968, I received a signal from battalion headquarters asking all units to evacuate all able-bodied, civilian, young men to the battalion headquarters at Abua Central. .....This arose from the fact that wherever the Nigerian troops entered, they recruited the local people into their own forces and because they were good swimmers, this made fighting in the riverine areas very difficult for the Biafran troops. In view of my good relationship with the local people, I had difficulty passing this information to them as I knew that they feared being refugees........ I had taken the step of first evacuating the soldiers before informing the Dappa because I was not sure what his reaction would be. .....On hearing this, the Dappa broke down and all I could console him with was that our journey was temporary and we would soon be back to Otaba......... My stay in Otaba was very memorable and my leaving was very sad as I had developed a very good relationship with the local population. I felt guilty that I had disappointed a people who depended on me for their safety........ 8. A lot had been said in this book written by Achebe. He is a titled Chief, he is a red capped chief and He is an elder of his people and for all of us in this country and across the seas. When elders like him talk, we listen, but I say here that his story here is inconsistent with the truth. Many words had been used to describe Nigeria’s situation as at today many years after the civil war. Unfortunately, I am not sure if my dear elder feel the same way as I do right now. Many of the readers of this book never saw or experienced the war. Those who saw it and were really involved like myself are over 70 years old, I was only 27 years old then; and on our way now to meet our maker – many had gone. Are we really telling the truth to the next generation of what we did wrong? Awolowo, according to Achebe wanted to stop second hand clothing. Maybe Achebe was not there in 1978 when this came up in Aba during Awolowo’s campaign. He saw products of Aba textile mills unsold; and he said that he will stop second hand clothes being imported into the country to save the textile mills and get our people employed. Do we have Aba textile mill anymore today? And indeed all textile mills in the country folded up today. Is second hand clothing not flourishing today? These unemployed youth did not cause this. All of us the elders did. Read more about this in my book on how we killed the Railways, the Shipping line, The Nigerian Airways, The roads, the importation of Petrol, oil, and lubricants. Many pages of Achebes book, perhaps he did not mean it that way, but had sown the seed of discord between the progressive youth across the country. In the book, Achebe wrote about the following:- a. Ibo marginalization b. Ibos not fully integrated into Nigeria There is no way to discuss these without sounding tribalistic. My mother was from Kwara – the backyard of the West or the front yard of the North when it suites those concerned. So also was my father from Kwale area which also is back yard of the West or the front yard of the East. I know that I have been detribalized in such a way that I can discuss Nigeria with the truth that the youth deserve with no apology to anybody. In my opinion, Achebe’s book is tribalized and inconsistent with the truth. The Hausas did not deny killing the Ibos, and as Gen Haruna said at Oputa Panel in 2001, he has no apology for that. Bringing the 3MCDO into it and Awolowo in a derogatory way is evil and ungodly. You will need to read my book where in 3MCDO, we did the following:- a. Fed Biafran POW b. My troops fed once at 5pm daily in order to have enough for the natives, and Biafran POW too. c. Captured Biafra POW were kitted and put back into 3MCDO d. In 3MCDO, I opened hospitals for women and children and international observers went there to see. e. We opened markets, schools and particularly girps’ schools. f. We opened Churches g. From 1967 when Calabar and Bonny were captured by 3MCDO, the Children took their final year high school examinations. * You will need to read my book to get the full story. Since independence in 1960, the Ibos had always been in the ruling class. - 1 st Republic – NPC / NCNC (Hausa / Ibo) - 2 nd Republic - NPN / NPP (Hausa / Ibo) - 3 rd Republic – PDP / PDP (Hausa / Ibo) - 4 th Republic which is ongoing it is PDP majority in the North, in the East and Delta State, Again Hausa / Ibo. So who are we talking about here that Achebe wrote about? -Banality - Mediocrity - Corruption - Debauchery - Tribalism - Nepotism Etc. - dismantling the system of excellence by the ruling class. I agree with these but is it not the Hausas and Ibos who had been ruling this country since independence? In Balewa cabinet of 1960, there were 12 Hausa led NPC ministers and 11 Ibo led NCNC ministers. The Army, the Police, the Navy, the Airforce were all from the East. In todays 4th Republic, Check and see which tribe is marginalized. Chief Achebe said a lot of many words that are inconsistent with the truth. The paper here is Revenue Allocation picked randomly for the month of July 2011 where a total sum of 1.5 Trillion Naira was shared in the country that month of July 2011:- - 19 Northern states got #247,149,093,285.89 (Less two not in the ruling party) - 9 Eastern States got #211,006,269,125.12 (Less two not in the ruling party) - Delta State got # 45,135,728,733.04 Total for the ruling states #503,291,091,144.05 (Less four states) - 5 Western states got (Not in the ruling party) #67,341,311,583.80 - Lagos State got (Not in the ruling party) #22,821,435,409.32 - Edo State got (Not in the ruling party) #13,709,711,061.89 Total for states not in the ruling party... #103,872,958,055.01. From these, how were the Ibos marginalized? Please read my book on pages 352, 353, 356, and 357 for more on these and many issues. Which tribes are in Government today? After the civil war, did the Ibos not rush back to the same North that they called names. Then they were killed again. It is so easy to kill the Ibo people because they own the sales of attractive items of cars, electronic items, building materials and others. The Yoruba man in the North or East is a low-lifer. The man drives a taxi, while the wife sold Amala. As soon as there was unrest the wife puts the cooking pot in the taxi and home they went. I am sure that we all know the numbers of Ibos in Western States and Lagos versus the numbers of Yoruba in Eastern States. Lets get real. If the union of Ibos and Hausas are not working since 1960 till date then change your direction. You cannot repeat the same thing and get a different result. We, the elders should read more of the Holy Bible particularly Proverb 6 v 19. I am sure the Hausas and the Yoruba can defend themselves which I was told that they are doing particularly the Yoruba on the pages of some National Newspapers on this subject; since I have been away for a while. I pay my tribute to the youth of today who did not understand the problem caused by elders but had to bear the brunt of it anyway. To these youth, leaders and elders like Achebe, and Obasanjo and many more like him narrated the untruth part of the story, communities exaggerated situations to them, some elders sowed the seed of disunity and discord. Many of these youth at ages of between 5 and 15 years during the civil war, saw their parents brutally killed and buried in a dishonourable way. They looked, saw and could not do anything about it. Many cried their eyes out. They were unable to help their parents. I still feel your pain. I was there, I saw it all. They are living with it till today; because they saw how their father, mother or loved ones were brutally killed and they just stood there looking and helpless. How can they forget? It is unnecessary to remind them with tales that are not true. I am sure those of us over 70 years old know how the Ibos came to live in the west and prospering until today. I tell you, it was because of Awolowo who in the Fifties and Sixties started “Free Education and Compulsory” for all, life more abundant and freedom for all, and the rest of it. The progressives moved to the west and Lagos. The minimum wage was 7½ shilling while the Federal Government paid 5 shillings. I rest my case, I am tired. You will need to read my book. It is about 500 pages and more with 25 maps, 10 documents and 500 pictures depicting various situations and mood of the Nigeria Biafra civil war. |
6. I was the Chief of Staff of 3MCDO, during the period of 1967 to May 1969. The plans, strategy and the tactics applied were by me as directed by Col Adekunle the General Officer Commanding the Division. The rest of the story is contained in my coming book. [b]Achebe is a story teller because on many pages of his book, he said – “The story I heard” on page 133, on page138 he wrote – “I yas ropd” on page 150, he wrote– “We were told” while on on page 157 he said cattle preceded troops advance. [/b]Well, in 3MCDO we had not enough cattle to do that. I am only concerned on the Atlantic sector of the war. The other Sectors, if they wish may defend their honour for posterity. When Achebe spoke about bombing markets and many more, he forgot the first bombing of the war in Lagos in early 1967 when despite the fact that the Ibos were killed in their hundred in the Northern part of the country during the unrest at the time, it was Yaba market and Casino, the most populated part of Lagos that the Biafran B-26 bomber came to bomb at civilians. [/b]Nigeria had no planes to bomb at that time and in any case, 3MCDO operation area while at Calabar had no planes capable of bombing beyond Uyo and Eket not even Ikot – Ekpene or Opobo and beyond. 7) [b]Starvation in Biafra Ojukwu called all the Ibos to return to the East for safety and security. He also boasted that no force in Black Africa would defeat Biafra. a. Why then did you have to order the evacuation of people from their towns and villages for another safe area? - Here is how Achebe put it in his book on page 169, 170 and 171 – “Life in Biafra” (1) Refugees fleeing the Chaos and conflict (2) Refugee camps dotted the landscape (3)Many refugees were heading in whatever direction the other was headed; propelled by the latest rumours of food and shelter. (4) Refugees travelled by foot, by trucks cars barefoot, with slippers, in wheel barrows and many in worn out shoes. (5) Many walked so long their soles were blistered and bleeding. (6) For the refugees, hunger and thirst grew, so did despair, confusion and desperation. b. Please let me write here that the Ibos suffered but only from incompetent and inefficient leadership. Leaders boasting without substance, and the people believed. It was like a soap bubble-beautiful but empty. (1) The refugees abandoned their children which we picked up anywhere and every where (2) Those that suffered most were children from ages of 3-5. They were too heavy to be carried by their parents and too young to walk the distance – but to where. The aged, pregnant women and the disabled suffered more.
