Sorry my friend white girls are not my taste

obiekunie01:
those comments and the 'commentos' died a natural death!

The commenters changed from python dance hailers to Wailers wailing cause something bigger than python is here, the red dragon

ThinkSmarter:
Igbo and fulani dey compete for craze

Back then during operation python dance, these was not the type of comments we heard,
We heard comments like, ipobs are cowards, kill them all, make them drink potopo mud water ipob Don by makert etc, what happened to those good old mockery comments?

Fake news

Babinski:
Your assertion is wrong. If Awolowo were like Ahmadu Bello and only cared about Yoruba:

1. He would have joined Biafra in pulling the Yoruba out of Nigeria instead of being of so much value as Finance Minister during the civil war. He had more chance of being the President of a Yoruba nation than being the President of Nigeria.

2. He would not have aspired to be the President of Nigeria or bothered about all that was happening in the center. He would simply have stuck to the Western Region.

1) Well awolowo indeed wanted to use the biafran situation to pull Yorubas out of Nigeria, in fact even before ojukwu declared Biafra, awolowo visited ojukwu in Enugu when it was clear ojukwu was going to declare Biafra, he requested that, ojukwu should inform him 24 hours before declaring Biafra so he himself can have the time to organize and prepare the Yoruba region for secession


2) whatever made awolowo change his mind was not because he cared about Nigerian unity or anything, but he actually viewed the biafran situation to his political advantage too,
A) it was an opportunity for him to overtake his strongest rival nnamdi Azikiwe politically
B) it was an opportunity to destroy the domination of igbos in Nigeria cause igbos dominated in all sectors

C) he realized just like the northerners that Eastern region which became biafran was sitting on a huge deposit of crude oil which was as precious as gold and allowing igbos to take all that away was something both him and the northerners realized will be the biggest mistake they will live to regret if they allow the igbos to leave with all that wealth

Fourteen90:
If Awo, only cared about western region he won't have fought for Nigeria's Independence.

Why not? Was western region not under Nigeria? Awolowo like anyone else agitated for the independence of Nigeria even almadu Bello, but both of them cared about their regions not really Nigeria

alizma:
He must be an animal from a palm plantation to have qualified to be in the zoo. The animals from such plantations have strong characters that will not leave them irrespective of wherever you take them to and this one has prove it again

Very good his name is Stephen ibitoye, by the name we know were this particular animal comes from, he's from a coco plantation, and people from such plantation are worse than animals they deal with human body parts, in short they are human body part Merchants

TheFreeOne:
The only man who would have changed the course of Nigeria into greatness had he become president.

Unfortunately the country fell into the hand of tyrants, anarchists, clowns, jihadists and terrorists. A people that ought to be great in all areas of life become dissilutiomed citizens of their own country subject to the whims and caprices corrupt men of questionable characters and agents of destructiontion.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo, you are a great man.

On Oodua nation I stand.

Awolowo was not that man, just like almadu Bello who declined to be the prime minister of Nigeria and choose to be the prime minister of northern region giving the position of Nigerian prime minister to fellow northerner belewa , awolowo only cared about Yoruba, western region more than he did for Nigeria as a nation.

alizma:
The actual zoo may be the place you think to be paradise because by the time we check his full name, you will be surprised that he is from your area

Will it change the fact that he's a zoo soldier?

These are the people zombies are wailing cause unknown gun men are giving them a taste of their own medicine

Kill him immediately

BarrElChapo:
Get a lawyer not cry out on social media..

Bringing such case to public notice is 10 times better than hiring a lawyer.

Lifeisgoody:
He may be their financier knowing or unknowingly

You made no sense with this comment

Lastmankc:
Why are they still supplying drinks to the north?

Why are northerners still bringing cows to graze in the South?


But are you aware there are millions of southerners living in the North who drink beer?

triple996:
Where is unknown gunmen?
Ok they are on their way

Is that a gathering of army and police officers?

CilicMarin:
So it is now clear that the people of South East are in support of the killings by the IpOB Terrorists in that zone...

So any time you hear Unknown GunMen from anybody, call that person a bastard...These are clearly villagers in the South East..

Why are you so pained? South East villagers said they don't want Nigerian Fulani terrorists in uniform in their villagers why can't they leave?

CilicMarin:
After attacking Government properties and killing of policemen who do you think we open business there?

Banks?
Industries?

Igbos will invest there, south east runs an indigenous investment economy

kmcutez:

Franzinni:
damn most well minded nigerians don't know all these parts of the conflict o at least .. it was raised to believe a diffent thing

Well history was removed from Nigerian education for Nigerians igbos to forget about the biafran genocide, indeed igbos forgot about it and moved on quickly, but the internet computer age has brought back the history at a click away, it takes the Grace of God for one to forgive after learning of history like these, people call igbos bitter Hateful bigots, but it's not really true, the pain of the past is still there

Franzinni:
Jesus Christ of Nazareth!!! My oh my I never knew this kind of barbarism took place in Yoruba land ... Hmmm it's really a zoo. I think I have perspective on the issue now. Thanks for the enlightenment. There is a YouTube channel where I go to watch documentary on the war becasue I was trying to understand the motives and to generally educate myself on the war... but they never showed this ugly side you have just brought to light for me. Thanks alot.

There is a touchy video on YouTube of a 15 yr old igbo boy caught by the Nigerian soldier's tied up and shot, even though he pleaded with them that he was not a biafran soldier

His name was Mathias kalu, the video is on YouTube

You won't find those videos on YouTube cause the British back then did everything to cover up what was really happening in Biafra, most of the YouTube videos showing starving children, Nigerian airstrikes on hospitals, churches around civilian gatherings were captured by stubborn foreign journalists who did everything possible to report to the world what was truly happening in Biafra, not the propaganda British advised them to

Fredrick Forsyth the British journalists refused to follow the BBC propaganda he was sent for they fired him, but he refused to leave he stayed in Biafra till the war ended, cause he personally knew ojukwu back in Oxford University they were close friends

Franzinni:
I am getting to understand where the bitterness is from but I also understand your point of view. I was of the believe that no igbo was killed in Yoruba land as the documentaries I watched made me believe ... Do you have any evidence to show that the killings of igbo happened on yorubaland I mean something I can read or watch to confirm it ? I am totally ignorant at this point.

Sorry for the delay, I was trying to reply to you yesterday and all of a sudden, anti bot spam gave me a 24 hour ban

Yes a lot of igbos were murdered in Yoruba land, though Lagos was not under the South West regional government, northerners blocked every major road in Lagos searching for igbos in every vehicle taking them out and killing them, in the process other Easterners were killed too cause they couldn't tell the difference from igbo and other Easterners especially akwa ibom and calabar people


In Ibadan Barack, igbo officers many of them were locked up a room and hand grenades were thrown in it to blow them to pieces , the head of the that Barrack was Joseph akahan a tiv man from Benue



People like Frederick Forsyth a British Journealist gave account of these things in his book, the biafran story, Chinua Achebe who was one of the last igbos to leave Lagos after hiding is his friends house who was a white man, gave account of these things in his book , there was a country, his cousin brother was among those officers killed in Ibadan Baracks
