EducationRe: The Most Evil Men The World Has Ever Seen by McStoic(m): 7:14pm On Jun 13, 2021
Vatod:
The world has seen tragedy in many forms. Wars, genocides, riots, killings, famines and what not. The real evil however lies within the architects of these inhuman practices. Men who advocated crime to a level no one else could fathom. Their decision wreaked havoc on humanity and all that comes with it.

Here are 15 of the most evil to have ever been born:

1. Adolf Hitler (1889-1945)

The chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and Führer of the Nazi Party, Adolf Hitler was perhaps the most intelligent, creative and brutal dictators of them all. He was largely responsible for the holocaust and the second World War. He believed that Jews were the root cause of all problems and set out to eliminate them. His actions resulted in death of over 50 million people. Hitler committed suicide in his bunker on 30th April 1945. Hard to believe that he was once a talented artist and part of a Bohemian community.

2. Joseph Stalin (1878-1953)

Iosif Vissarionovich Stalin was dictator of the Soviet Union from 1922 till his death in 1953. As a young man, he was a robber and an assassin. For almost 30 years, he reigned with terror and violence in the Soviet Union. His decisions led to a famine that killed millions. Forget enemies, he even killed families of people who were fond of him. Under his rule, more than 1.5 million German women were raped and in all, he easily killed over 20 million people. He once said, "One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is simply a statistic." Ironically, he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1945 & 1948. He died of a stroke in 1953.

3. Vlad the Impaler (1431-1476/77)

Vlad the Impaler was also known as Vlad Dracula. The character of Dracula was loosely based on Vlad, due to his sadistic personality and cruel acts done to the people of Wallachia, where he reigned as prince three times between 1448 to 1462 and killed about 20% of the population. He impaled the victim through the buttocks till the stake came out of the mouth. A German pamphlet once read: 'He roasted children, whom he fed to their mothers. And (he) cut off the breasts of women, and forced their husbands to eat them. After that, he had them all impaled.'

4. Pol Pot (1925-1998)

Pol Pot was the leader of the Cambodian revolutionary group the Khmer Rogue, which had orchestrated the Cambodian genocide. Pol Pot believed in destroying the Cambodian civilisation in order to start a new regime and usher in a new age. He is probably the only man is history who ordered mass genocide on his own country. During his reign as Prime Minister from 1976 to 1979, his policies led to the death of around 2 million people which was 25% of the entire population. He liked to keep the skulls of people he had killed and he went as far as ordering babies to be torn limb by limb. He died of natural causes.

5. Heinrich Himmler (1900-1945)


He was head of the SS and the brain behind the Final Solution to the Jewish question, that is extermination of all Jews in Europe. Himmler had ordered the killing of about 6 million Jews, 2 to 5 lac Russians and many other groups that the Nazis believed were unworthy of living. It is believed, not verified, that he had furniture made from the bones and skins of Jewish victims. He committed suicide and is buried at an undisclosed location.

6. Saddam Hussein (1937-2006)

He was the dictator of Iraq from 1979 to 2003. During his reign, he authorised countless attacks on people. His policies made way for the death of not less than 2 million people. He ordered chemical attacks, eye gouging, beatings and severe shocks on people. He also recorded several tortures and deaths to watch them later. Saddam was found guilty of crimes against humanity and hanged in 2006.

7. Idi Amin (1952-2003)

Idi Amin, who was the Chief of Army Staff, had taken control of Uganda while President Obote had gone to Singapore to attend a meeting. He promised to bring prosperity to Uganda. But a week later, he declared himself President of Uganda. As dictator, he came to be known as the 'Butcher of Uganda'. He killed people by feeding them to crocodiles, claimed he was a cannibal, mutilated one of his wives and rearranged her limbs. He killed and tortured around half a million people between 1971 to 1979 as ruler. He died of natural causes.

8. Ivan the Terrible (1530-1584)

Ivan was the first Tsar of Russia. As a kid, he used to throw animals from the top of tall structures. Though he was intelligent, he had bouts of rage due to mental illness. During one, he even killed his own heir to the throne. He loved impaling, beheading, burning, strangling, frying, blinding and disemboweling people. Even in friends, he saw his enemies. In the Novgorod Massacre, more than 60,000 people were tortured to death. Ivan died while playing chess with his friend.

9. Leopold the IInd of Belgium (1835-1909)

When king, he ruled over the Congo Free state which was approximately 76 times the size of Belgium. He made the entire world believe that he was going to help Congo. But under his regime, between 1885 to 1908, the country was subjected to a reign of terror. Over 500,000 died of diseases and many died of starvation as well. He killed over 10 million Congolese, which was 50% of the population of Congo. All this, just to gain money and more power.

10. Kim Il Sung (1912-1994), Kim Jong-il (1941-2011) and Kim Jong-un (born 1983)

Kim Jong-Sung was the dictator of North Korea from 1948-1972. He started the Korean war, which resulted in the death of 3 million Koreans. People of Korea were forced and brainwashed to idolise him. His son Kim Jong-il continued his legacy after Sung's death and Kim Jong-un is carrying on the same as he is dictator now. Millions have died of famine, starvation and execution and some methods of torture have been barbaric. North Korea has suffered from almost 70 years and still suffering from the wrath and policies of their dictators for the 3rd generation in a row.

11. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (1902-1989)

Khomeini was responsible for bringing about the 1979 Iranian Revolution. He was the religious leader of Iran from 1979-1989. The Shia laws were made out to be very stringent and those in violation of it were tortured and killed. He refused the offer to make peace with Iraq, which led to the death of around a million people. The Islamic holy war killed over 2 million people. He succumbed to cancer.

12. Nero (37-68)

Nero wreaked havoc in the Roman Empire. He burnt entire cities, murdered thousands of people & every member in his family. People were stabbed, burned, boiled, crucified and impaled. It is believed that he started the great fire that burned Rome but blamed it on Christians, who were then brutally tortured. Nero committed assisted suicide when he knew the rebellion will be lost.

13. Genghis Khan (1162-1227)

Genghis Khan was the emperor of Mongolia from 1206 to 1227. His bloodthirsty nature led to many victories, such as a large part of China, but also the killing of countless people. It is believed that his men, if out of water, would drink blood from their horses. His army killed 15 million people in the Iranian plateau. A total of about 20 to 60 million people died during his reign. How he died still remains a mystery.

Source: biography
14. Mao Zedong (1893-1976)


He was the dictator of China from 1943-1976. Mao had a dream of making China a superpower but in the process, he created the largest genocide in history. Although he has been credited with modernising China and making it a world power, his actions killed around 40 to 70 million people through forced labour, executions and starvation. Mao himself succumbed to illness.

15. Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794)

He was the architect of the French Revolution. As a younger leader, he advocated better life for the people of France. But soon, his obsession with guillotining (beheading using a machine with a huge knife blade at the end) began. His reign of terror has been a famous part of history, he killed over 40,000 people within 10 months and believed that killing was always better than forgiving. He ordered an attack on Vendée, killing over 100,000 men. Ironically for him, Robespierre was also guillotined without trial.

Source: history
There are many others as well, who have butchered humanity at a level that is unimaginable. Barring the men mentioned above, people like Osama Bin Laden, Attila the Hun, Talat Pasha & so many others have left nothing but blood on the pages of history. Their legacy is upheld by those who think they were right!

Prinzo1:
I have always prayed that Igbos should push for secession without involving the south south because the south south is really jeopardizing the struggle.

There are some states in the south south that are totally in support of Biafra such as Cross river and Akwa Ibom but do not want to be directly involved.
Only Referendum will tell. So let's not force people against their wish. When it's time for a referendum, the south south will choose where to belong.

I am happy that after the Arise TV interview with Buhari, many Igbos are now campaigning for an independent Igbo nation. Let everyone choose where to belong in the coming referendum as it is now crystal clear that soonest there will be a referendum.

Oracleforce:
All the aforementioned achievement of Nnamdi Cownu still boils down to the fact that he is an educated person....remove education acquired from the life of Kanu, he wouldn't have achieved thel of these...perhap, he would have been replaced or deposed by a better person...

In the case of Sunday Igboho, he knows that he is restricted by the level of education that he doesn't have...he can not hold an intelligent conversation or interview with a journalist...he cannot read or write good English...he is not exposed....and he doesn't have the level of capacity to carry the Yoruba race along because he doesn't have good antecedent and records.

Why I said Cownu is copying Sunday Igbhoho was the fact that the recent killing by the Fulani herders that claimed the lives of many people at Igagan, Oyo State. ..was promptly restricted by his boys in the area. He equally ordered his boys to entered the forest and combed the bush....and Nnamdi Cownu is also doing the same in the east...(copying)
Chaii...you are funny. Anyways I won't respond to you further until I really understand who you are talking about. I know Nnamdi Kanu but your Nnamdi Cownu I know not. Igbos are not crazy about cows so that name must belong to northern Nigeria or middle belt... Thank you!

Nice write up buh honestly,you guys have time to be responding to all these silly and moronic fools and that dude may still be under 15 and he got the nerves to be talking trash.I hardly seen any Igbo or Biafra talking down or trash against Sunday Igboho buh I always see many people especially from the western side,talking trash,rubbish and nonsense against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and also praising Sunday Igboho and I do ask myself,what sorts of hatred could this be...Sunday Igboho is during something today is because of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Nigerian youths are awake today is because of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Nigerian evil Government is peeing in their pants today is because of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, World powers are talking against the Nigerian evil government today is because of Mazi Nnamdi and Nigeria is heading to disintegration today is because of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and one silly nuisance of a kid,would wake up someday and begin to talk trash...Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have been on Biafra liberations for more than 15 years buh official heading Igbo since 2012 and somebody that started few months back,would be used in comparing him,even saying that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu copied Sunday Igboho or are the ESN not in the bush before we started hearing about Sunday Igboho..do Mazi Nnamdi Kanu not always tell guys to enter bush to avoid any systematic casualties eeh?so,just because Sunday Igboho ordered his guys to enter bush to flush out the killer Fulani herdsmen on Sunday,then he now became the first person to make the pronouncements eeh?I do wonder how some of these guys reason....I ain't no Ipob member buh I love Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho and I wouldn't stand anybody that would try to castigate any of them because they have done and still doing what greedy,selfish,wicked,demonic and evil educated illiterates in Nigeria,wouldn't dime it fit to do,instead they keep on impoverishing the masses more,more and more to achieve their stupid gluttonous political interest that will see them into their graves soonest because mighty rain is about to fall in Nigeria buh and masses will be free from Nigerian politicians,and the oppressed will be free from their oppressors....honestly,when I read some of the silly jargons some stupid apes do type here,I feel like throwing up buh I must admit that,I do envy you guys that always try to reply them because I cannot stand their wack and wicked mind or their foolhardy in stupidity..

Bros forget this long epistle you've written above, the truth is Maazi Nnamdi Kanu doesn't have the balls to lead his foot soldiers, that's why he dishing out orders from only God knows where he's been hiding.
But you see Sunday Igboho, that guy is brave.
What you don't know is more than you. I guess you were still an embryo in 2017 when Nnamdi Kanu was strutting the whole of South East in defiance to Buhari after his release from prison? You simply must have been under the rock when he stood his ground at Afara Ukwu Umuahia and lost his men and later his parents to the invading Nigerian soldiers. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAS YOUR SUNDAY IGBOHO LOST? THERE'S WHAT IS CALLED TESTED AND TRUSTED? APART FROM YOUR SELF IMPOSED OPINION OF IGBOHO'S BRAVERY, NAME ANY OTHER OF HIS ACHIEVEMENTS THAT LAYS CREDENCE TO HIS SUPERIORITY OVER KANU!

When arguing, do so with facts and not just on sentiments and unproved opinions. It beggars belief that you people talk as Nnamdi Kanu just woke up one day and ran away to abroad. This is a man that was imprisoned for many months. Nigerian government tried to bribe him to drop the agitation he refused. Many notable Igbos and Nigerians even visited him in the prison to convince him otherwise but he refused. Nnamdi Kanu openly called Buhari a mad man in court and told the government agents to go and tell Buhari that he is mad.


Nnamdi Kanu's being abroad is mainly based on the advices of IPOB leadership. He leads and presides over IPOB membership from over 100 countries and we need him alive to achieve Biafra. So it's not just about him. He has already been in Nigeria before going back to abroad. Stop using that as if it's a bad move. Wisdom is always profitable to direct. Even baby Jesus had to be taken to Egypt until Herod died. Does that mean He is not strong or able to kill Herod? I respect Sunday Igboho like I said before, but comparing him or elevating him above Nnamdi Kanu too soon is very shallow and lame..

You can't lead in this generation without being educated and powerfully informed in all aspects.
A leader must know much more than his follower...
Tinubu education is one of the aspects that help him.supossing Tinubu is an illiterate...
How do you mean Nnamdi Cownu is copying Sunday Igboho? Anyway thank God it's not our own Mazi Nnamdi Kanu you are talking about. I would have asked you between him and Sunday Igboho who first started the freedom fighting.

FYI, Sunday Igboho has some years and experiences to undergo before he can be equated to Kanu much more alluding him to be greater. Has Sunday Igboho gone to prison? How many of his members has he lost? Has he been attacked in his house before? Has he lost his parents to this freedom fighting? Has any of his visit locked down all the states of the South West like Nnamdi Kanu did in 2017 after his release from prison? Outside Nigeria how many countries know him? Can Sunday Igboho boast of having strong Oduduwa membership in up to 5 countries against Nnamdi Kanu's over 100 countries? Can Sunday Igboho command millions of dollars of monthly donation as IPOB under MNK does?? IPOB under Nnamdi Kanu is over 9 years. Oduduwa Republic under Sunday Igboho is barely up to 2 years.. Nnamdi Kanu has dual citizenship and has partnership with Israel, Nnamdi Kanu already has alliances with Ambazonia in Cameroon, Sunday Igboho is still playing local division etc and the glaring differences goes on.

IPOb under Nnamdi Kanu is the largest and most popular freedom fighting group in the world. You seem to only measure the strength of Biafra based on what you see going on in Nigeria. How I wish you lot understands what is happening outside Nigeria under IPOB. THERE IS A REASON IPOB MEMBERS AND NNAMDI KANU ALWAYS CONFIDENTLY BOAST THAT 2021 IS NOT 1967! E GO SHOCK YOU IF YOU KNOW HOW FAR!
No be everything that should be used to poke fun and show unnecessary ignorance. I support both Biafra and Oduduwa, likewise the unity of the Southern Nigeria. But I had to go on that tirade above to put your ignorance to bed.

Lelelalalele:
1. Igbo: Igbo, also called Ibo, people living chiefly in southeastern Nigeria who speak Igbo, a language of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family. The Igbo may be grouped into the following main cultural divisions: northern, southern, western, eastern or Cross River, and northeastern. Before European colonization, the Igbo were not united as a single people but lived in autonomous local communities. By the mid-20th century, however, a sense of ethnic identity was strongly developed, and the Igbo-dominated Eastern region of Nigeria tried to unilaterally secede from Nigeria in 1967 as the independent nation of Biafra. By the turn of the 21st century, the Igbo numbered some 20 million.
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/800/cpsprodpb/6EC4/production/_107965382_ohafiawarriors.jpg


2. Igala: Igala, also spelled Igara, a largely Muslim people of Nigeria, living on the left bank of the Niger River below its junction with the Benue River. Their language belongs to the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo family. Their ruler, the ata, traditionally also governed two other groups, the Bassa Nge and the Bass Nkome, who live between the Igala and the Benue River.

Traditional Igala society was politically organized as a kingdom. Kings were divine and were surrounded by numerous taboos; they held elaborate courts attended by a host of officials and servants, many of them slaves and eunuchs. All divine kingdoms in Africa had customs that acted as checks on the power of the king. This included a custom in which the queen mother could chastise the king; she was the only individual who was able to do so under the taboo system.

The Igala have been primarily an agricultural people, growing a wide range of crops typical of the area, including yams, taro, pumpkins, squash, corn (maize), manioc, and peanuts (groundnuts). Palm oil and kernels have become significant as cash crops.

3. Fulani: Fulani, also called Peul or Fulbe, a primarily Muslim people scattered throughout many parts of West Africa, from Lake Chad, in the east, to the Atlantic coast. They are concentrated principally in Nigeria, Mali, Guinea, Cameroon, Senegal, and Niger. The Fulani language, known as Fula, is classified within the Atlantic branch of the Niger-Congo language family.

4. Kanuri: Kanuri, African people, the dominant element of the population of Bornu state in northeastern Nigeria and also found in large numbers in southeastern Niger. The Kanuri language is classified as belonging to the Saharan branch of the Nilo-Saharan family.

5. Bini: Edo, also called Bini, people of southern Nigeria who speak a language of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family.
