Sorry bro but secession is not prelude to war. That a people seceded does not mean that only war can be employed to resolve the issue. Gowon could have gone for a second Aburi meeting, discussions, referendum. Of all the peaceful ways Gowon could have gone about Biafra, he chose war as his first and last resort

Adebayo was a signatory to the Aburi agreement, he signed on behalf of the the Western Nigeria. Yet he could never call Gowo out for breaking the agreement they all signed in Ghana.

Personally, I think Adebayo was a good man and a fine officer, but his docility is shocking.

Adebayo should have been the first Military President of an independent Oduduwa Republic.

Instead, he was reduced to saluting Gowon who was far his junior in the Army.

What a pity that only Ojukwu had the guts to stand up to Northern domination

Intrepid01:
Some people are just eternally dump. So seceding and sending soldiers to capture Lagos by Ojukwu isn't a signal to the beginning of War. In the past I used to wander why you people have refused to think and call a spade a spade but lately I have come to understand that deeply rooted in an Ibo man's DNA ( even Igbokwe confirmed it) is a "blame them all but me syndrome" , "even when I'm wrong, they caused it" syndrome. Only few Igbos have come out publicly to blame Ojukwu for plunging them in to a war they never had the capacity for.

Imagine, a chest beater that is self centered, you even said Adebayo missed the chance to become the first Military President, what a useless thinking, your thinking is similar to that of Ojukwu and that stupid thinking led to the death of millions of people. Not until when you people start thinking properly, your miserable situation won't change. gerrarahia

If u re a director & u want to shoot a scene in Japan, will the characters in the scene be speaking in Arabic?

D point is that, while d brown roofs re shouting Igbo's conquered the outside world see the Igbo's as the Majority tribe in d south.

Remember to patch ur brown roofs cos rain is coming soon.

So has vanguard Newspaper and all other media bodies that have reported this story for 2 days now also broken Media Law and Ethics?

obailala:
You dont still get it do you?

There's a difference between a media house creating a story and a media house just reporting a story as received from the horses mouth. For example, if Channels TV interviews an armed robber and the robber makes a false claim that it is the president that asked him to steal, would you hold Channels TV responsible or would you hold the robber responsible for his own words?

Okay, Vanguard newspaper has also reported the same story yesterday, would you now also blame Vanguard for reporting the words of the woman verbatim?

obailala:
You get it all wrong, the job of journalists is to report a story. A story was narrated to SR by a woman who was arrested and who accused the Pastor of being behind her ordeal. Sahar simply followed the case up by publishing the VIDEO interview of the woman. It's a different ball game when SR are the ones accusing the pastor, and I find it weird why you cant see the difference.

nzeobi:
They have gone to look for more picture to photo shop.
Patience is the only weapon that forces deception to reveal itself.

obailala:
Is Sahara Reporter the accuser? or are they just reporting a story narrated to them by someone locked up at the police station?

The way some people reason na wa!

shukuokukobambi:
You should ask who stood to lose more. I always say you guys think with your fists that's why you missed this wisdom from the Jesus Christ

Luke 14:31-32 KJV
Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? [32] Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

A sensible general will avoid a war he stood to lose but then, we're talking about the eternal chest beaters

kingzizzy:
Adebayo was at Aburi, why didnt he warn Gowon about threading the path of war as well? Or is it only Ojukwu who needs advice?

coolitempa:
Na lie be this. These people have hatred of Yoruba in their blood stream. Awolowo gave them Twenty pounds without any evidence, see the hate he gets from them. Awo through free education in the western region helped elevate some of them from ignorance...see the hatred... Awolowo made the western region the only one to save their properties and made sure that their rental income was paid back to them after the war...see the hatred. Awo made a decision that helped end the war and stopped endless suffering more quickly....see the hatred... ......

Speaking the truth by some of these ipods is like mixing water and oil....they just do not go together... . Osinbajo will sooner rather than later be called a hater of Ibos irrespective of whatever he does.

Suurulere:
He was 88. He would have been 89 tomorrow. He was entirely against the Nigeria Civil War.

"I need not tell you what horror, what devastation and what extreme human suffering will attend the use of force.
When it is all over and the smoke and dust have lifted, and the dead are buried, we shall find, as other people have found, that it has all been futile, entirely futile, in solving the problems we set out to solve." - General Adeyinka Adebayo, 1967.

He also implored Gowon to let Ojukwu break away with Biafra.
His first son, Otunba Niyi Adebayo was the first executive governor of Ekiti State between 1999-2003.

Rest on Sir.

I said you shud move on nau...haba..OK, go thru ur 1st comment, you were literally gushing...it sounded like: "my brother holds the key to kanu freedom, yea..it'll go down in history, yea...we're too much,yea... in fact we should get an award for dat,yea"

Cire80:
This one has officially gone nuts.

Smoothie01:
No matter how you tryna twist it, I'm sure you get my point... you can move on now Mr. Yoruba man

Who cares about the zoo flag and colours? The zoo has expired.

Viva Biafra!

Smoothie01:
we're basically saying the same thing...buhari disobeyed the rule of law and if KANU is eventually released, it's cos justice prevailed
Your first comment would only be appropriate if he was granted pardon by the VP even after conviction... sefini!!!

Fx55:
More...

Smoothie01:
shitty comment
For your mind abi?
the difference is while vp is a lawyer and understands rule of law, his oga is d opposite

if KANU is found innocent, he is meant to be released...so where do "owe their freedom" comes in....he'll only be doing the needful

You can only say that, if he's convicted, and yet released by the VP, prolly thru' pardon

naijaking1:
Hadiza and Osabanjo should be close to the same age bracket.
I think she's the one El Rufai gave the NPA job for her good work scheming during the BBOG campaign of Oby Ezekwesili. Right? If so, you'd understand why she really had to put up such display of good manner: she ain't got what it takes to be where she is academically and professionally in the first place.
She has always made it by pleasing gullible men with low self esteem of themselves.
Can you imagine Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Margaret Ekp, or Ms Ransom Kuti showing "deep courtesy" to any of her male compatriots the way Hadiza did?

FLYING CAREER

A hardworking and focused lady, Captain Hadiza Oboh was reputed to have checked out as a Flight Officer (F/O) aboard a Boeing 737 of the Nigeria Airways in 1984 .
By 1989, she was already a well-established pilot and remained an aviation superstar all through the 1990s. She was always a point of reference and source of pride for all women associations in Nigeria and Africa.

THE PLOT AND THE MURDER
The cold-blooded murder of Captain Oboh still sounds like a scene right out of a movie, even 17 years after her unfortunate exit from the world. On that fateful day, around 8.00 pm on the 8th of February 1998, Captain Oboh drove straight from the airport to her 40A Bourdillion Road home in Ikoyi, a high-brow part of Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial center. A very lively lady, she was full of sparkle and was probably famished after a hectic day (pilots are some of the most worked and stressed-out professionals), she made for her kitchen to prepare a quick meal to line her stomach.

Fear of being boycott by Nigerian shoppers. This is image making to avert the negative consequences of xenophobia in South Africa.

They want people to feel the sense of ownership which would discourage any hostile plan.
