Another excerpt from Alabi-Isama's interview regarding his book, the Tragedy of Victory:

I didn’t see a hungry Igbo man or woman during the war

"We didn’t have refugee camp in 3 Marine Commando. Once you are there as a refugee coming from Biafra, we give you food and you go to your house. I want to say that I did not see a hungry Igbo man, woman or child during the war. Those that were hungry are those that were removed from their villages. You need to read the former governor of Imo State, Achike Udenwa’s book. People were removed from their villages to a refugee camp without food. When we arrived at every town, we saw cows, goats, chickens and we ate them."

These people left all these things because they were told that Nigerians will kill them and that we will rape their women. Rape who? You don’t rape Calabar women, you don’t rape Annang women. Anang women came out dancing. So, we recruited these people, and they said we recruited them for socials. There was no food. There was no market, farm, fishing, factory and banks. There was no business. The only people who will give you food are the soldiers. This matter being discussed is not a joking matter. I pray we don’t have another war. But even if we have another, it’s not going to be the Nigeria-Biafra war, because people are very vicious now.

No basis for the first coup of 1966
"When that coup took place, they said there was corruption. Where is Sardauna’s estate? Where is Balewa’s estate? Where is Adekunle’s estate? The North had eight officers, the West, 10 officers, the East had 37 officers. With 37 officers, you still organized a coup. "

In Balewa’s government, the Hausa had three ministers; the NCNC, which was the party of the East at that time, had 11 ministers. In fact, the Finance Minister was Okotie-Eboh. The Hausa only had the Ministry of Defence. So the Ibos killed the Hausa to do what? You killed them because there was trouble in the West.

On General Alexander Madiebo’s comments that if Biafra had one-tenth of what Nigeria had, it would have won the war

"I told General Madiebo that the East had the best of Nigerian officers. They won laurels abroad. That’s why Ironsi became the leader of the United Nations contingent in Congo. Our Police were wanted everywhere. I have been successful from failures and not from excuses. The Igbo man is still talking about excuses. I’m an Igbo man and, let me tell you, I told General Madiebo, ‘Sir, you are still talking about a defeat; Igbo people were not defeated in the war. It was Biafra that was defeated, and Biafra was the entire Eastern Region. You alienated the Annang, the Kalabari, the Ikwere, the Ibibio and you thought it was only Igbo that were Biafra; that was why you lost the war. It was not Ibo that lost the war, but Biafra’. I also told him, ‘Sir, if I were you, I needed just a brigade to win the war.’ You may not defeat Nigeria, because there are Hausa in Togo, Niger and Chad that will come and join them. The Calabar in Cameroon will not; neither will the Yoruba in Cotonou. Their (Hausa) religion will let them do that’. I said ‘you don’t need weapons to even win that war’. He said ‘Alabi, you again.’

Our Atlantic coast in this nation is about 1, 000km from Lagos to Calabar. How do you defend a thousand kilometers from Lagos to Calabar? With how many troops? It’s marshy; it’s below sea level; it’s mangrove. How will you defend the place? I said, ‘Sir, there’s what is called buoys in the Atlantic Ocean, their blinking lights show ships the channel to follow because you cannot dredge the entire Atlantic Ocean. So they dredge a particular place for the ships to pass through and the buoys will be blinking. Sir, at the time you were defending your Atlantic coast, if you changed the position of the buoys, the ship coming will run aground. Do you need any weapon to do that? That’s how I captured Jozina.’ "

"But God in his mercy wanted to have one Nigeria. I may not be there, but one day, this country will say, ‘oh, we don’t know that this is how we would have done it’. Why do you grow kola nut in Yoruba land and it’s eaten in the North and revered in the East? You still don’t know that God wants this country together? The North tried to secede but couldn’t. The East tried but they couldn’t go, and you still didn’t see that God in His infinite mercies wants us as one country? "

More excerpts from Alabi-Isama's interview regarding his book, the Tragedy of Victory:

" It is lack of loyalty to the country that is causing widespread corruption today. So, corruption is not the problem. We need to look for solutions. Adekunle is suffering; it will be unfair of this country if we don’t help that man, because I’m sure the day he dies, newspapers will be awash with eulogies for him. ‘The war hero is dead’, ‘he died penniless’, just like Edet Utuk, one of the best fighters of the 3MCDO. For seven months, the entire Biafran Army could not dislodge 500 men, and it was because of our training. This boy was my staff. The wife said at the launch of my book that they had to go to Obasanjo to borrow some money to take care of him while he was ill and dying, because Obasanjo was the commander they knew. When the man (Utuk) came to me at Uyo with the wife, I was only able to give them N20, 000. You need to see how he was thanking me for just N20, 000. Obasanjo drove them back. But the wife said Alabi is at Enugu and he said ‘that’s my boss, let’s go and see him.’ Whatever I had, I had to give them. I never got pension."

Why he didn’t get pension

It is in the book, because they said I stole money.

Contact with military authorities to redress this wrong done to war heroes like General Adekunle

"Yes, we have, through the son. In fact, the boy told me that he was kept waiting at Abuja for so many days and he didn’t plan to stay in a hotel because it was expensive for him. But he stayed anyway and got no results."

Federal troops fed Biafrans during the war

"That brings me to the question: Will you do the same thing that Adekunle did? People alleged that he said, ‘Oh, we are going to capture them; we are going to do this; kill all the Biafrans.’ But anytime he came to the war front, I will say, ‘Oga you told me to feed them; you told me to recruit them; you carried their children.’"

I didn’t see a hungry Igbo man or woman during the war

"We didn’t have refugee camp in 3 Marine Commando. Once you are there as a refugee coming from Biafra, we give you food and you go to your house. I want to say that I did not see a hungry Igbo man, woman or child during the war. Those that were hungry are those that were removed from their villages.

Godwin Alabi-Isama has dual heritage. His mother was a Yoruba woman from Ilorin, while his father was from Utagbo Uno in Delta State.

The Tragedy of Victory by Godwin Alabi-Isama :

Alabi-Isama’s Tragedy of Victory is perhaps the first book that I have read with five forewords. The first is by Nowa Omoigui, a US-based MD and an acknowledged military historian. The second is by the Emir of Ilorin, the paramount ruler of the birthplace of the author’s mother. The third is by Major General Adeyinka Adebayo who recruited Alabi-Isama into the Army. The fourth and, in my view, the most informative , is by General Yakubu Gowon, Alabi-Isama’s Commander-in Chief during the war. The fifth is by Madiebo, the Commander of the Biafran Army. Strangely, the fourth and fifth forewords are deliberately omitted in some print versions!

.....In a country where one’s fortune is often shaped by accident of birth, Alabi-Isama‘s dual ethnic parentage turned out to be of mixed blessing. He was born and raised by a Yoruba Muslim woman from Ilorin in the geopolitical North. His father, a Christian from Utagbo Uno in current Delta State, died when Alabi-Isama was virtually a toddler. So Alabi-Isama grew up as Abdul Rahman Alabi, a Muslim from the North. This northern affiliation aided his smooth enlistment into the military as the strict education requirement was relaxed for northerners.

.....However, the doubt about his ‘northern allegiance’ crept in early on in his career when he, in a Mosaic-like move, facilitated safe repatriation of several northern-based soldiers of southern origin to the South to escape this 1966/67 mayhem. With this act, he became a ‘marked enemy’ of some northern troops, and so he relocated to the Midwest. .....

As a federal soldier, when he was captured by the Biafran army, he was just re-kitted and recruited into the seceding army instead of being killed; his most likely fate if he had been identified as a ‘northern’ soldier. He later deserted the Biafran Army and rejoined the federal side, after which he was wrongly jailed at Kirikiri maximum prison for suspicious treasonable activities.

This ‘illegal’ imprisonment also turned out to be a saving grace as he could have lost his life along with several federal troops who perished while attempting to cross Asaba River under the command of Murtala Mohammed 2nd Division during the war. However, the shifting allegiance finally caught up with Alabi-Isama as it appears that he eventually paid the price for ‘disowning the North’ as his military career cratered. At age 37, he was ultimately dismissed from the Army as a one-star general under his course-mate, the three-star General Danjuma, as the Chief of Army Staff.

The central objective of the Tragedy of Victory is to give a detailed account of the activities of the 3rd Marine Commando Division (3MCDO) that the author claims was largely responsible for winning the war. He also debunks the alleged inaccuracies in Obasanjo’s book.

According to the author, he had twin crowning moments during the war; the first as the architect and executor of the strategy for capturing Port Harcourt from their Calabar base and the other as the architect of the ‘Pincer Two’ strategy that Obasanjo dubbed ‘Operation Tail Wind’ used to end the war. For the first achievement, Adekunle, the then 3MCDO Commander, endorsed this ‘wandering Israelites- in-the wilderness’ strategy of attacking Port Harcourt from the ‘480 Km’ base in Calabar, instead of Adekunle’s original strategy of doing so from the much closer Bonny that is 80km away. For the second achievement, while Alabi-Isama had been transferred out of 3MCDO by Obasanjo who replaced Adekunle as its Commander, author claims that Obasanjo eventually employed[i] ‘Pincer Two’[/i] strategy that forced Biafran surrender, but not before his costly misadventure in Ohoba.

The greatest strength of the Tragedy of Victory is the richness of its illustrations. The breadth of its war pictures appears to be unmatched in any of the existing literature on Nigerian civil war. Alabi-Isama should feel exceedingly proud for being able to preserve these photographs, especially since they were taken at the time when computerized digitalization of images was a rarity. Equally noteworthy is the superb prowess of the author in recordkeeping, which made his detailed accounting appear as if the war has just ended. The discussion of the strategies and tactics employed in prosecuting the war should provide valuable insights for military strategists and scholars. The author persuasively argues his case on why his recollection should be considered more credible than the ‘fiction’ presented in My Command. The ample evidence he provides via photographic images makes the arguments in the Tragedy of Victory more compelling. On the flip side, there are noticeable shortcomings that could dumb down the value of the book.

First, the publisher did not do a masterful editorial job, given the plethora of spelling and grammatical errors that are avoidable in this era of computer-aided word processing tools with spell-checking functionalities. Furthermore, the arguments in the book are too repetitive to dampen enthusiasm quickly. In fact, a more careful editing with a view to eliminate these redundancies could possibly cut the tome by half without any significant loss in substance. Finally, several claims in the book stretch credulity. To illustrate, the various specified distances such as the 480-km Calabar to Port Harcourt are mindboggling unless they describe the typical non-linear movement of troops between locations. If this is the case, it ought to have been pointed out.

Looking into the substance of the contentious issues raised by the author vis-à-vis My Command, one is still not convinced that all the facts are fully disclosed. Rather, it appears that the truth is somewhere in-between these contrasting depositions. To start off, one recurring theme that runs through Alabi-Isama book is his contention that Obasanjo is an egoist who arrogates to himself the undeserved credit for the war victory while disregarding the contributions of others within and outside his Division. It is difficult to argue with this conclusion after reading My Command. Obasanjo can be likened to a closer of a baseball game who provides the save that preserves the lead, and secures the win. He could not claim all the glory.

However, like Gowon pointed out in the foreword, Obasanjo’s role could also not be diminished as the Commander who received the surrender instrument from the Biafran Army. Pertaining to the non-acknowledgement of the contribution of others, Obasanjo‘s behavior, selfish as it appeared, is not inconsistent with what other contemporary war heroes have done.

The information about those who were in the trenches with Generals Schwarzkopf and Petraeus is not a public knowledge either. On another issue, Alabi-Isama argues convincingly on the salutary roles played by the 3MCDO ladies in the prosecution of the war and disagrees with Obasanjo’s decision to disband the unit. However, the author is silent as to whether these ladies also served as ‘comfort girls’ for the division’s officers; a development that would certainly undermine discipline and justify Obasanjo’s action.

While the author disputes the widespread looting allegation made by Obasanjo, he concedes that there were refrigerators, air conditioners, TV sets and similar pricey gadgets in the trenches of 3MCDO troops and that these items were being used as footstools for their waterlogged foxholes. http://www.peoplesdailyng.com/tragedy-of-victoryi/

Eggsaktly

I suggested to Seun that all profiles new and old should be verified with facebook account ,
The said FB account must not be less than 9 months old
Must have more than 20 friends
Each profile with each Facebook

If that can be done , trust me , Nobody go dey do anyhow

I have received my fair share of insults , initially i do not respond , but now i'll gladly respond with pleasure and in three fold if not more

My point being i agree with you that people throw insults because NL is too anonymous

And for the OP , you do not need to pass your boundary, Some people do not even have a limit talk less of boundary , the only reason why you won't be insulted eventually is if your comment is just OK, HMMMM, ..... OR anything like that and even that , some people will be pissed especially if your comment is on FTC or STC space , some people just lack moral and will pick a fight with anyone at any time

Logging in with Facebook profile?? Nah! That would be too boring and restrictive. All that needs to be done, is for the mods to be more alert and impartial. Any post with an abusive content should be taken down immediately!

Unfortunately, the mods delete entire threads that are factual and interesting, while leaving the ones populated by abusive tribalistic trolls, to thrive! May God save us all!

Consula:
Oga please wake up. You don't laff off a man, and then when u see he means biz, u now come to tell him how to run his biz. Abeg make all these persons park well joor.

Thanks bro. I didn't even know this and there I was arguing with a nitwit that knows nothing but evil.

Wow! So, 'nitwit that knows nothing but evil' is now your middle name! Thanks for confirming this. Your lies and ignorance is getting more interesting, especially going by the half-baked submissions you have been receiving...

Do carry on!

Odikwa egwu ndi okuko aputawa. Ofe mmanu, well I think we igbos should thnk home this time around.

Good idea!! I hope your Igbo brothers would think along this line.

Na wah, o! How many threads are you going to open concerning the same property??! Chai!

Who is the Yoruba king under captivity? This is not Iboland, where money gets you a crown. We dont create autonomous councils for moneybags in Yorubaland. If you are refering to Falae, his proper title is Chief, not King.

Yes, he is and will be freed soon. You know Yorubas, we think before we act. We are mindful of what's at stake and will approach it to a successful outcome. We have a disincentive to the problem and is why our region remains the most secured in Nigeria. We cant say the same about alaibo, can we?

Guy, it is not alaibo... it is Ala'Igbo!

Lagos belongs to the Igbos?? LWKMD!! You deserve an A-plus for peddling this kind of propaganda, that has no basis in reality!!

mart2k:
it is impossible as a president to go after everybody. Those names u pple ar mentioning for prosecution may never b prosecuted. U ask me y? Becos Buhari is a human too and he thinks like one. U dnt expect him to start going after those who contributed to his success. David in d Bible upon all his sins, God stil refer to him as "a man after my heart". It is a pity that I dnt like typing much, if nt, I wud v expantiate more. Notwithstanding, Buhari stil v to work wit som people no matter their past because if he said he wl only work wit pple that are nt currupt, then he is on a long thing. We all knw that 99% Nigerians ar currupt. If u find ursef in Buhari's shoe, u may nt v choice than to act dsame way. My opinion though

Guy, stop this sermon abeg. No one is asking him to go after everybody, but if he goes after 50% to 60% of the corrupt politicians in this government, then people will have more respect for him. Everyone knows who they are. This selective booking, does not portray CCB in a good light, neither does it give PMB the moral clout he needs to clean the Augean stable.

Get away you ijiot, beast of no nation... warevaa meehn

Lagos is no mans land....PERIOD!

Haba, which one come be 'ijiot' in dis matter, now?? Is that how you were raised to dish out insults to anyone who responds to you? Na wa, oh! Okay o! Everyone can actually see that you are the one who is truly a 'beast of no nation,' from your response, here...

melzabull:
Don't mind the yolowbas. The covetous fools want to have Lagos to themselves after its being developed by others wealth. You ask yourself, why the ijiots are not fighting over osunistan and sokaland, jbadam? every ijiot is now from Lagos.

Bunch of greedy, covetous looters and robbers

Na wa, oh. The hate in your mind no get part 2! If a Yoruba man from another state wants to claim Lagos, why are you so bothered about it?? Afterall, a number of Igbo people I met in the East also claim Onitsha or even Enugu, even when they are from other parts of Ala'Igbo.

Balkan:
if that is the case you Ogbomoso man is the second class citizen. We make laws for you in Lagos that you claim to be from. Go back to your Oduwakistan brown roof capital I don't have interest there.

Lagos is where our interest is and we are chasing you people back to where you belong in Ogbomoso. You cannot afford rent In Lagos my people are committed to the occupation till your cowardly tribe leave lagos the wise men from the east.

The agenda is workin

Hahaha... you make laws??! What have you been smoking Oya, confess...!

melzabull:
Lagos is a conquered territory you fool- a no mans land

...And that is how you make enemies for yourselves, instead of allies. You guys never learn!! Chai!

The CCB should not only go after Saraki, but every other governor and senator under this present administration. That is when it would be seen as being impartial, instead of the current perception where everyone sees it as a tool being used by some powerful persons to settle imaginary scores.

If CCB was effective, Tinubu's acolytes should also be in the dock!

Oh.. plz shut up... we didnt send our children to school to come out... pushing wheelbarrow.......propaganda is in d blood of yorubas.. both old n young... becus we dnt need you west slaves.. to survive... no matter all d killing and gang up... igbos alwas fine d way to see d light @ end of tunnel

Bros, am not Yoruba so maybe I shouldn't put my mouth in your matter. But please, when I read the post the first thing that went through my mind was... Guy, cut the crap!

Do you know how many Igbo wheel barrow pushers exist in Ladipo Auto Spare parts market in Lagos, that finished secondary school with good grades?? As for propaganda, please do not give the achievement of Ndi'Igbo in this area, to another ethnic group. Igbo sons such as the late Chukwumerije excelled in it. Go figure!

What I said earlier, still applies to you:

Uh?? What kind of response is this? ? If you do not agree with his remarks, then carefully spell out in black and white, your valid or cogent reasons for disagreeing with him, line by line. When people lack superior arguments to buttress their points, then they take refuge in insults just like you have done here!

You keep opening new threads every other day, to market exactly the same property. This is called duplication. https://www.nairaland.com/2609388/buy-start-building-50-plots
https://www.nairaland.com/2607228/buy-start-building-50-plots

It is not the number of threads that you open about a property, that helps you sell the property. It is the amount of information provided within the thread.

All you need to do, is just keep updating the former thread and this will help you get more views, as such updates push it to the top of the pile. Please stop the unnecessary thread duplication. It causes false stats for Seun. Where are the mods who are supposed to check these kind of actions??

kenny987:
Clear comprehension issues abound in u. Stop d attempt to cover d collective n deliberate failure of d govt. It is not my place as a private citizen to personally inspect every seaport location before I can deduce that they are fit for operations. Information to that effect abound and on that basis i can conclude that they aren't operational.

Your stories would carry weight if I said there weren't others after u quoted my original post. If u choose to see my post as a lie that my dear, is ur cup of tea.

Nah! Every post you make, shows that you are the one that lacks understanding and clear comprehension.

You have just said again that it is not your place to personally inspect every seaport location before you can deduce they are fit for operations. Good. Then stop making erroneous comments about how fit they are, since you have NOT inspected them, because this means you know next to nothing about them. Restrict your comments to stuff that your juvenile mind can comprehend, or little things that you actually know about. Is that too much to ask??! Chai!

And I am not, and will most certainly never be, 'your dear.' Stop trying to claim a familiarity that does NOT exist.

kenny987:
This was in response to ur quote telling me there are other seaports besides Lagos. There is no need to include d others if they're not functional but for d academic purpose u seem to want to pursue rather than reality, I did respond and say that they are there but not functioning at capacity with necessary infrastructure n personnel. Do u have a problem? Please this issue has been over flogged and u know the truth as well as I do that till date resources have mainly been focused in Lagos as far as core commerce is concerned. Stop the tomfoolery and attempt to sound knowledgeable when you're basically just splitting hairs.

Once more, this isn't d aim of this thread.

Eeyah! You just love arguing blindly don't you? You first claimed that the major seaports are only in Lagos. Your error was pointed out. Instead of doing the honourable thing by admitting your mistake and moving on, you came back to dig yourself deeper into the hole by insisting on dishing out more excuses to cover up your errors.

You then turned round to state that the other ports are non-functional after your error was brought to your attention. Yet, in the same breath you admitted that you have not inspected them. Now, how did you know that they are non-functional if you have NOT inspected them?? Na wah, o! Now, you are claiming that this is not the aim of this thread. Oh, but I never said it was. My point remains that you do not have to lie, to get your points across.

Continue...

Chief Mbazulike Amechi...nice guy! Well-respected, too. Wonder why he is so angry.

kenny987:
I did not dispute d presence of viable seaports in places othere than Lagos. I only queried their functionality. It is not importers or users that will decide whether or not to use them. It is the duty of the govt to set them up to full functional capacity before use.

Go back and re-read your former comment which I quoted in my preceding post. When you have done so, then you can come back here and post a well-researched response, instead of digging yourself deeper into the hole you have just created. Like I said before, there is no need to lie in order to make your points.

PenSniper:
That is why your SE is rudderless, a canoe at sea without a paddler.

Hehehehe.... LWKMD!! Wicked response. Be merciful, now. Haba!

kenny987:
Please...don't start with the story of lying and whatnot. I do not need to inspect them to know if they're functional. As of today, it's all happening in Lagos. Deal with it as the fact that it is. Besides this point is not d main focus of this thread. A lot of serious minded people are learning and working on this cause. I will not delve into a minuscule issue as this is in the wider scheme of things.

You don't need to inspect them?? Gee whiz! So what were your comments, based upon? Conjecture?
Please stop lying that "the only sea ports are in Lagos." Period. A decent person would admit his mistakes and move on. Instead you are digging yourself deeper into the hole of deceit. You really do not need to lie, pretend or hyperventilate to get your points across.

[color=#000099][b]UPDATE

For those of you contacting me regarding a review of your CV, send in a copy of your recent resume to CV Wizards and one of our professional CV writers will assess it and email you with their suggestions as to how it could be improved to ensure it is viewed more positively by a prospective employer.

we will look carefully at a wide range of important criteria, from common mistakes to content and presentation and deliver a review indicating exactly what can be improved – and where.

Good point. But there are several other cases where the applicant does everything by the book (i.e. submits a good cover letter, an impeccable CV etc), and still does NOT get called up for an interview or get shortlisted for the job. Neither does he even get a response, even after several follow ups have been made. This happened to a friend of mine. He was informed recently after several months of enquiries, that a decision was made by management to fill the vacancy from within the organisation. So why publicise the vacancy, if you are not even going to allow external candidates to be part of the process? I don't get it, oh!

These days some head hunters use various types of software to scan through the multitude of CVs that they receive, and if some keywords are not in the CV, they jettison it. Why? It doesn't make sense in my view.

Several years ago, I went for an interview and the head of the panel informed me that I was over-qualified for the job and if I was employed, I might be offered his own job!! To say I was shocked, was putting it mildly! Hehehe...

ocdhotel:
800k is a good offer
Forget those guys running mouth

If u agree just PM I will make arrangements on how we seal the deal in 24 hr.

True. The resale value of Volkswagen cars are much lower than the resale value of Toyota cars, for instance. Can't explain why.

kenny987:
The other areas are basically identified as viable but not functional. Where are the infrastructure, personnel and all other things that signify functionality?

Who says they are non-functional? Have you inspected each and every one of them? Is that why you lied that the only sea ports are in Lagos?
