DomPerignon:
Why are you glossing over the expulsion order by Ojukwu ordering all non ibo Midwestern civilians and students to leave the East?

Officers and men of the Army had all returned to their regions and no civilian was compelled to leave their region outside the north following the pogroms but still at that, there was no official proclamation by northern, western and Midwestern governments asking civilians to return to their regions.

And why are you refusing to acknowledge the author's statement of fact the Ojukwu expelled non ibo Midwesterners?

Why did ojukwu limit his expulsion to non ibo Midwesterners especially students who were reported by their fellow ibo students for not being enthusiastic in having their region occupied by Biafra?

As I said you can continue to lie to yourselves

If none igbo speakers from the Midwest was told to leave the east by ojukwu wasn't it for their safety? When northerners were being killed in the east during that time ojukwu personally put them on the train and ask them to return to the north, in fact the northern army men were told to go with their weapons so they can protect themselves on the way in case their train was stopped on the way by mobs , what's the noise?

From the article in this link it said none igbo speaking people were expelled from the East

Because of the complete breakdown of military discipline and trust occasioned by the widespread killings of Ibos, it became apparent that troops had to return to their regions of origin. For this reason, a regional army structure was approved corresponding to the four regions of the country at that time (6, 12, 13). The 1st, 2nd , 3rd and 4th area commands were based in the Northern, Western, Eastern and Midwestern regions, respectively. Since the northern region
essentially controlled the federal government, northern troops remained in Lagos. you got your answer from the same article so why the noise?

DomPerignon:
You can continue lying to yourselves

A simple Google search will show you that what I posted is pure facts.

Give the name of the author of the Google article you are quoting these fake stories from,who is the author?

DomPerignon:
The Midwest people had declared neutrality and had forbidden any invasion of Biafra through their lands

The non IBO Midwesterners were initially sympathetic to ibos following the pogroms up north and had been known to provide food and refreshments to ibos passing through their lands on their return to the East .

At no time where both the non ibo Midwesterners and the Urhobo military governor ever showed any hostility towards Ibos. If you even consider that Ejoor had been targeted for elimination by the ibo coup plotters on January 15 and Ironsi had been plotting to have him murdered afterwards with Ojukwu having plotted on 3 occasions to have Ejoor killed , first in Enugu then in Abia while attending Ironsi's funeral and in Benin , Ejoor still went on to prevent northern troops from invading Biafra through the Midwest and did everything to protect ibo refugees passing through his region.

To show the level of hate and disdain ojukwu and his Enugu lunatics had on non ibo Midwesterners, a decree was passed by Ojukwu having all non ibo Midwesterners leave the Eastern region.


Ejoor did not reciprocate the gesture by Enugu and no ibo was asked to vacate the Midwest after Ojukwu's expulsion order.

Note that Ojukwu',s expulsion order only applied to non Ibo Midwesterners. Igboid Midwesterners were exempt from Ojukwu's expulsion order


Fast forward a few months and Ojukwu decided to invade the Midwest in the guise of liberating her from Nigeria .

Ojukwu's ragtag army did not waste time targeting non ibo people of the Midwest during the occupation. Same people he had ordered out of the East , he (Ojukwu) invaded their land and was now harassing , terrorising and killing them on their fathers land while elevating his ibo cousins as vassal rulers of the Midwest


The madness of ojukwu no get part 2

A decree was passed by ojukwu to expell Midwestterners? LoL what are you trying to achieve with this fake stories you are writing up and down? If ojukwu never passed any deree to expell northerners from the East rather made efforts to protect them from been killed in revenge for what was happening in the north,why will he expell Midwestterners?


Why will ojukwu want to kill ejoor who was appointed by ironsi as governor of the Midwest just like himself?

DomPerignon:
Cry harder.

All of Adekunke's subordinate officers where Yoruba and he had Yoruba recruits and Bendelites as the majority NCOs under his command. Ijaw militias led by Adaka were also a major fighting force under Adekunle.

There's a season your grandparents curse the man everyday because he so ruthlessly chased you out of the current SS that you all began shooting genocide so as to get a time out.

You are just being emotional about this, the 3th Marin battalion led by Benjamin adekunle had 40 thousand troops majority of them were from the middle belt Tiv people, I'm not talking of NCOs etc I'm talking about foot soldiers that's why when Brigade Lt. Col. Philemon Shande was killed in Owerri the Tiv soldiers protested they didn't want to fight again they lost their morals when their brother shande was killed cause adekunle pressureed him to advance to Owerri knowing the Biafrans had no where else to run to, but fight back with all they had, those are one of the reasons Gowon called back adekunle back to Lagos and replaced him with Obasanjo

DomPerignon:
Story.

The real unsung heroes in that war where the Bendelites , Ijaw NDVF and Yoruba soldiers under Adekunle.

These are the ones that fought in the coastal enclaves and chased you lot back to your caves.

The north fought from the Nnsuka sector and where more busy raping and killing you guys indiscriminately.

The real gallant warriors who fought to reclaim their lands were from the present day SS with Yoruba soldiers.

The north was more busy inflicting vengeance on you guys .

You don't know what you are talking about, the 3th Marin battalion led by Benjamin adekunle that came through the ship in calabar were majority people from the middle belt especially the tiv people the battalion had about 40 thousand troops about 20 thousand of them were Tiv people, there were very few Yoruba foot soldiers through out that war , recruitment happened in large numbers in the middle belt, the highest number of Niger Delta troops in the 3th Marin battalion was about 1 thousand of them and they were all ijaws under Isaac boro

DomPerignon:
Go and do a research on how Delta Ibos fled to Biafra following a mini pogrom carried out by non Ibos

Go and read on how the military governor, Ogbomudia was able to bring it to a halt..

And FYI, more Bendelites joined the army and were one of the highest recruitments after Ojukwu invaded their land

The Midwest igbos fled cause tens of thousands of federal troops entered the Midwest and were killing everyone in the igbo speaking towns and villages , and the highest recruitment in the Nigerian army was not bendelites or whatever you call it , the highest recruitment was from the benue-plateue state at that time, benue plateau was one state and that was Gowons people , other recruitment were Hausa Fulani, and people from Niger republic

DomPerignon:
The invasion was facilitated by Delta ibos in the army who had initially declared loyalty to Nigeria and Gowon only to turn around and take orders from Ojukwu

How come that majority of Delta Ibos defected to the Biafran side!

Don't forget the riots and pogroms that greeted the liberation of Midwest by Murtala that was carried out by non ibos on delta ibos. Why did non ibos chase out delta ibos from their land!

The truth was that Delta ibos collaborated with IBO invaders and participated in terrorising and harassing non ibos in the Midwest

There was no riot and progrom against the igbos by none igbos in the Midwest, the killing of igbos in the Midwest was done by the federal troops which were mostly northerners , stop the lies

christistruth01:
The Hausa of Asaba were slaughtered by the Biafrans during the Invasion

Read Gen Alabi Isama's "Tragedy of Victory"

Don't tell me to read that self praise trash written by alabi isama , I read it before and anyone who reads it with an open mind will know he gave alot of fictional account to praise himself and make himself the hero of that Nigeria-biafra war , a man that claim a woman he knew in Kaduna visited him to inform him of the biafran invasion in his house

Question, how did the woman transport herself from Enugu to his house in Midwest,when there was no means of transportation at all cause all the available cars were to be used by the biafrans for the invasion to Lagos? There was even no fuel


How did the woman find his house in the Midwest cause him alabi himself grew up in the south west with his mother and never knew his fatherland,he returned just during the time igbos were killed all over Nigeria and change his name to alabi

Someone that claim he single handedly fought 7 thousand Biafrans and stopped them from reaching Lagos?

He claims to be the most wanted man by Biafrans looking for him to kill him , why didn't they kil him when they captured him? They made him a Biafran general? Just like that?

His account of how Isaac boro died was also a lie

He claim Benjamin adekunle who was heading the 3th Marin battalion wanted to kill him , he made himself the most important strategist in that battalion lol

There are hundreds of things I can point to in that book that are lies

DomPerignon:
The best thing to ever happen to Delta state is this Anioma state creation.

Same Delta Ibos that supported ibos when they invaded and occupied Midwestern region and joined their IBO brothers harassing and terrorising the non IBO tribes?

Ned should recall how his anioma people were chased out of Benin, Warri and Sapele after Murtala chased his IBO brothers out of Midwest

Ned should be honest and say the truth which is that Anioma ibos began shedding their IBO identity because of the madness of ibos and Biafran rogue soldiers on hapless civilians of non IBO extraction

The invasion of Midwest happened without a fight, stop lying to yourself

Soludo is not serious, the money he spent building government house and flyovers in awka could have transformed Onitsha and nnewe ,

Baby mama dey find validation..., must he visit,re dey in same region or state,during the Rwanda/Uganda clash my dad was drafted to join the UN peace keeping force, I didn't see my dad for close to two years,but dad was sending cash steady to my mom to takia of us.If Reno is sending cash to takia of the gal,then madam no cum dey find online soldiers wey go cho cho cho for una family mata

It's not a must for a child to spend time with the father? If Reno omokri can travel all over the world in a couple of months what stops him from visiting his child at least once or twice a year? Is Reno in the army draft for peace keeping anywhere? What is his job exactly?

simpleseyi:
The child also belongs to the woman after all she carried the child in her womb fir 9 months, so she should provide for her child

Is she going to double print herself into two as the mom and dad so she can represent the father and mother in the child's life? She didn't talk about providing for the child, she talked about the father not coming to see the child for 1 yr

Anytime they mention Port Harcourt–Maiduguri rail it annoys me,

AndroBlaze:
See this he-goat trying to ingratiate himself with his forefathers oppressors by stating the man's tribe as if they would suddenly bother to differentiate Yoruba from Igbo and stop looping us all together as "Nigerians", as if every Latino is not a Mexican to a typical oyinbo.... the stupidity of some particular black people sef is just legendary.

If stating the mans tribe is not important why do you yorubas do it all the time when an igbo person commit crime outside the country? Even Abike usually identify igbos by tribe and state by saying or all the drug smugglers on death roll in Indonesia are igbos from Anambra , stop the hypocrisy, the tribe of this man is worth mentioning , we know what yorubas were telling Ghanians about igbos when the issue of igbo king in Ghana came up

Erikiel:
Almost every households, communities are doing this, it has become not only a habit but culture, for people burying the dead in their households.

There are designated places for burying the dead, like the cemetery, or graveyard.
Some religious bodies or churches have burial grounds in their surroundings specifically for burying the dead.

What do you think make people prefer burying the dead in their houses or compounds?

It has become or it has always been?

kedeojo:
Which traditional rulers you have in the east that command respect like those ones. In Edo state, my state, Oba of Benin is the permanent head while the vice is usually rotated by some kings and not all other kings. Sultan of Sokoto and oni of ife has no mate and match to others. Go and look pictures taken by traditional rulers with various president and you will understand better. Obi of onitsha can't even lace oba of Benin shoes.

What you typed here doesn't make sense, all these traditional rulers you mentioned true have power and respect but whatever power and respect they have starts and end with their people which are their subjects, we igbos or other ethnic groups are not under them and has never been under them through out history, why should we accept to have them as our permanent traditional leaders now? Do we practice the same culture? You have no point

franchasng:
Do I blame the Yorubas and Fulanis? No!

I blame the Ijaws, Binis, Warris, Efiks, Idomas, Nupes, Kanuris, Hausas, etc that are always too docile and cowardly that they cannot speak out for their right. They will always remain silent and wait for Igbos to take the bullet for them.


Tell me what else could have given the Yoruba President the audacity to make Yoruba traditional leader and Fulani spiritual leader the heads of Nigeria's Traditional Leader's Council if not that they know that the rest of other Nigerian tribes are pure lilly livered cowards who will never fight for what is right out of fear, cowardice and whatnot.


Honestly Igbos don't need to be in one country with the rest of Nigerians because we hate injustice and our constant demand for justice and fairness has always made us look troublesome simply because other tribes are too docile and cowardly to fight for what is right, it's sad.



Igbos just need to leave the Nigerian confused union so that Yorubas and Fulanis can deal decisively with the rest of Nigerians who enjoy being thrown under the bus like log of woods


Igbos are too big and important to be thrown under the bus and not feel the heat, it's not possible na, haba

The most disturbing thing about it is , they want to make them permanent traditional leaders , not like they will be rotation no permanent

7lives:
Were there warrant chiefs in Igbo land or not?..
Biafran army went as far as Ore in other to free Biafra in Lagos, yes or no?.
Of recent, another useless bill is being sponsored by the Igbos in the senate, yes or no?.
There is a fact the Igbos are ignoring to their own peril, other people's homeland is not Igbo land, the earlier Igbos understand this, the
bettter.

Warrant chiefs in igboland or not does that make it right for the ooni of ife and the Sardauna of Sokoto to be made permanent chairmen over hundreds of ethnic groups in Nigeria? Were igbos or the other ethnic groups in Nigeria under the ooni of ife or the Sardauna of sokoto at any point in history?

Questions 2 , were there Nigerian troops both northerners and yorubas in biafra fighting and killing Biafrans yes or no? The head of state Gowon was he in Lagos or not? Were igbos or easterners not killed in Lagos Ibadan etc or not? Who was in charge of Biafrans troops that were sent to reach Lagos in 24 hours was it a Yoruba man or not?


If the bill sponsored by the igbo sanator is useless, why will yorubas want igbos and other ethnic group to support the bill that will make a Yoruba king and a Fulani spiritual leader permanent chairmen of the Nigerian traditional council?

In a country with hundreds of ethnic groups you want to make two people from two ethnic groups the permanent chairmen of a traditional council meant to include all the ethnic groups in Nigeria under those two people and someone thinks everything is right with it?

Private school in Enugu are very expensive what are they complaining about

okpouman:
2013/was an abridge version of the nation's cup,it wasn't that rated,again the same deflection issues. Before 2013 we were only in the finals when Nigeria hosted it in 2000,the last time Nigeria really did well in football was since 1994, and 2024 with foreign born hires

The 2013 afcon was not rated ? It is one of the best afcon so far

We were in the finals in 2000 but we didn't do well?

Can you list the names of the foreign born hires in 1994 and 2024 let me see how many they are?

okpouman:
After the chan super eagles 4 -0 loss to Sudan.Nigerians began their usual deflections eg the players were all from one club( remo stars),they were wrongly selected, the coach is bad etc etc.

When will Nigerians just accept the reality that Nigerias locals can hardly achieve success.Nigeria won the wafcon largely with mercenaries ( foreign born hires),same with super eagles( foreign born hires),women afrobasket( foreign born hires)

Nigeria has so deteriorated that nothing local can really achieve success outside music and tech which are generally individual games.

Anything that requires collective work is bound to fail from Nigeria with local hires.

Nigeria only has 2 caf approved stadiums. While SA under a successive black governments for 30 years have 13 stadiums.

Yet Nigerians don't care ,everyday they keep shouting man u,arsenal Chelsea etc , while their country teams are in ruins.

Nigerians should stop deflecting,without foreign born they are nothing.

Nigeria is not a successful country
Nigeria is an underdeveloped poor country

This is the hard truth Nigerians must accept if they are willing to make progress.

Once again I give it up for black southAfricans,

They are the true model for success in Africa.

South Africa is the giant of AFRICA

A populated unintelligent country doesn't amount to much.

Food for thought for the major tribes of NIGERIA who account for the critical mass of the components of the country.


They have consistently failed AFRICA.

Did you watch the 2013 African cup of nations when Nigeria won the trophy under keshi ? How many foreign born were in the team? Do you know who scored the winning goal in the finals Sunday mba local player

The painful aspect of the whole civil war stories is the fact that Nigeria government allowed Ojukwu to go free after the whole thing.

Ojukwu should have been rewarded instead cause a genocidal war was lunched on his people and he did everything he could for them to defend themselves

Hemanwel:
I am suspecting that the reason Davido is doing all these to Chioma, among all his numerous chicks and baby mamas, is that he probably met her a virgin.

Davido probably never believed a girl as beautiful and sophisticated as Chioma would still be a virgin as at the time he met her. And being the only man who has been harvesting her 'farm', he felt it was worth wife-ing her.

My thoughts though!

So virginity is the ultimate in a woman?

Have you heard davido talk about chioma's good character and how she loves all his children, plus how chioma's brings him good luck even in his music career?
