Well said bro. Nigerians never seize to amaze me. They think GEJ didn't try to rig? Funny. He just couldn't cos we masses prayed to God to make our choice count. Videos of rigging are all over the net espcially in Akwa Ibom and Rivers. These are PDP riggers. They undermined the power of God. Many people speak with wanton arrogance that God will never allow GMB to lead Nigeria as if they are God...pathetic. GEJ was a bad leader who allowed midiocre people to sail his government. Ur followers are a reflection of who and what u are. He isn't much different from those clowns that ran his government down.

The purpose of this thread is for education and enlightenment and not for hate.

BIAFRA:
For decades, the Biafrans/Igbos has been talking of starvation by Awolowo/Gowon and Sabotage from the Niger Deltans. Please, this piece is an highlight of What took place in the MidWest Region as at that time(I purposely don't want to go into that of Old Rivers State)

Mid West Invasion

Biafran Soldiers Crossed from Onitsha to Asaba. They Captured Benin, Auchi, Okene, Atani etc all in then Mid West Region.

igbo man Installed As Governor

Banjo Advised Ojukwu to appoint a non-igbo man as Governor of Mid Western Region, but instead appoint Ogbemudia or any local. Ojukwu Refused and appointed an Igboman Albert Okonkwo. Not satisfied, the Biafrans move to enter Ore.

Opposition Against Biafra/Igbos

On August 17 Governor Okonkwo installed a dusk to dawn curfew in which only citizens with passes would be allowed to move freely at night.

Human Right Abuse By Biafrans

Non-igbo citizens, especially the Hausa community, were subject to harassment from Biafran soldiers while women were often molested and sometimes raped, this in retaliation for the 1966 anti-igbo pogrom.

RESISTANCE BY LOCALS

Resistance groups began springing up constantly consisting of mainly ethnic Urhobos and Ijaws.

COUNTER RESISTANCE BY BIAFRA

By August 18 Okonkwo had assembled a force of 780 reliable volunteers to keep natives from attacking or killing Biafran soldiers.

RESPONSE BY LOCALS

Cooks began poisoning Biafran soldiers whenever they had the chance to and it was because of this that Biafran soldiers began only eating food that was cooked by ethnic Igbos or self-cooked. Rebellious natives who did not wish to fight would often seduce Biafran soldiers to get information out of them and tell Nigerian authorities.


KILLING of BIAFRANs BY LOCALS
On August 20 a group of Urhobo/Ijaw rebels raided a Biafran camp and were successful in killing 50 soldiers while 16 rebels were killed in the skirmish.

HUMAN RIGHT ABUSE BY BIAFRANS

Biafran soldiers began raiding and pillaging villages throughout both the Mid-Western Region and Niger Delta inhabited by anyone other than igbo civilians

At Abudu, over 300 bodies, including those of children, were found in the Ossiomo river as the Biafrans withdrew

Similarly, on 20 September 1967, 'there was a mass killing of non-Ibo MidWesterners at Boji-Boji Agbor', and on 23 September, 'non-Ibo speaking MidWesterners were apprehended by rebel soldiers at Asaba, Ibusa and Agbor and taken [in two lorries] to a rubber plantation along Uromi-Agbor road and massacred'

The more minor cases of rape, extortion, seizure of properties, and other punishments featured abundantly.

For instance, a Warri-based lawyer, E. K. Iseru, testified at the Tribunal that he was stripped Unclad and detained for three days without food for agitating for the Rivers State, and, when he complained of hunger, he was promptly told: 'there is no food for Hausa friends'.


REPUBLIC of BENIN DECLARED

On September 19 President Ojukwu declared Governor Okonkwo President of the Biafran puppet-state, the Republic of Benin, in an attempt to make citizens of the Mid-Western Region loyal to a government other than Nigeria


NIGERIA ARMY RESPONSE
On September 20, while the Biafran 12th Brigade was stationed in Ore, the Nigerian 2nd Division under General Murtala Mohammed attacked the Biafrans and almost immediately forced them to retreat. The retreating Biafrans destroyed the Oluwa Bridge and managed to get a vital head-start in front of the advancing Nigerians.


LOOTING of The Treasury by Biafrans:

When the 12th Brigade reached Benin City they alerted their comrades and, instead of mounting a defense, Biafran soldiers began looting the city, even stealing $5.6 million from the Central Bank.



***i won't go further to what happened in Niger Delta***
I challenge Any Mid-Western Citizen(Delta/Edo States) to ask their Grandfathers or whoever witnessed the War of this Account.

Aigbofa:
Did ibos even call themselves ibo or Igbo before the white man? Why would ibos call the white man onye ibo which translates to ibo man in their own language?
"Oyinbo" was most likely introduced to the ibos through the missionaries who were already being called oyinbo inYorubaland.

Ormorlehwah:
Hmmmm....... Need a toaster.

DiamonJ:
I dnt like Ibo tribe too, their mother's are wicked, they control their sons a lot, even @ 40,50 years old men, their mum still live their lives for them, tribalism

powerblaze:
Bros you won't understand. I've experienced it first hand. Not once. Not twice.
It's crazy how, regardless of their nature, they still turn out to be the same. In a flash, they'll forget everything you've done for dem and go after the next big thing.


They never add anything meaningful to your life. Only interested in taking from you.

No offence to few good ones left

powerblaze:
This is why i find it extremely hard to trust an igbo girl.
They're terribly short sighted and outrageously selfish. Obviously shes been cheating on him.
No hard feelings..

gmyguy:
Hope you have all the receipt of her school fees and bank teller of all the pocket money...you deserve a refund...Please, go to EFCC and complain. You have been scammed

adusim:
This is typical for Anambra women! I pity any man that looks for a wife and makes the mistake of venturing into that Omambala enclave. He will surely regret. Anambra women are trash and make terrible wives.......a word is enough for the wise.

DrGroove:
Igbo men, always thinking money alone can get them everything including wife.
Igbo ladies..Playing wayo because of Money since 1960
Height of wickedness... hehehehe. Men, una don see am? No be only una waka come to "sample " ladies and dump, ladies were also informed.
Educated woman + Illiterate man is a mistake!

To start with, I'm happy u didn't ague the fact that igbo girls r extremely flirt and promiscuous right from tender age; a by product of usual sexually frustrated adult igbo Men that usually find it impossible to satisfy mature women. They use money to deceive little children like this turning them to prostitutes at earliest age. It is an established fact that igbo men have highest rate of wife murdering; out of frustration and jealousy killing their wives(especially the ones that have tasted usually ever satisfying no-network-failure Yoruba Guy Kondo)
An igbo like you wrote on igbos having the highest rate of killing their wives due to inability to satisfy them, read here:

igbos are just diametrically senseless. igbo's open display of love for one another is so fake. An igbo girl called my line after the end of the phone conversation the igbo guy that was with me asked "she's from which part of East?" I said Owerri, shouted "tufiakwua" by the time he finished with Owerri, I quickly deleted the girl's No. He said Owerri girl, will bring over all her family and never allow any of my family, etc. that she will look for every way to kill me to posses my wealth. He said Eboyi are worse, poverty stricken fetish people. He said Anambra wive always love to dominate their husband, he said Enugu people r poor n lazy etc. He said his people, Abia, r the only good people. I concluded that even if they seceed from Nigeria, they'll surely end up killing/ exterminating themselves within a short time in inter-clan wars. I'm so proud to be Yoruba!

Some people nor just get conscience... just wondering the pain the little girl is going through... memory that'll last for a lifetime
