simplynola: ”The emerging allegations are very serious. First, the Voters’ Register for Anambra has been allegedly tampered with by an INEC official to disenfranchise a huge number of voters, to such an extent that only 451,826 voters were accredited out of the 1,763,751 registered voters in Anambra State.

”Secondly, the disenfranchisement started from the data capturing stage, when the machine was apparently manipulated not to capture those whose names start with ‘O’ or ‘U’, and that is a whole lot of people.

remark D: @Nduka_Chukwunenye... I am surprised that you are surprised to see a Yooba fighting an online female poster....

DerideGull: The display of reckless idiocy in the above post is one reason among slew of reasons that had forced me to demand total disintegration of the jungle called Nigeria. The silly country called Nigeria can not advance with people trolling around with a biased mindset.

naptu2: This is a test case for INEC. They need to tell Nigerians why the votes were cancelled. They also need to tell Nigerians the names of election officials that were involved in rigging the elections and the names of the people that induced them to rig the elections.

Lastly, they need to ensure that these people are prosecuted.

noblezone: I was not predicting, I was relaying a dream that I had while I slept.

I am not looking for any title like TB Joshua. Like I stated, this is just to let the doubters know that God still speaks to men, whenever and however He chooses.

All I can say is this: may the good Lord keep all of us alive.

I was not soliciting for the dreams, I was not fasting, neither was I praying.
I slept innocently and they came.

DerideGull: And your country is?

taharqa: Idemili North wud not hv made ANY difference, so make all of una SHATTAP..... INEC shld do what is necessary in this instance: catch and prosecute that EOD if he is found guilty; and, reconduct d elections in the affected Units. I think they are already doing that sef...

taharqa: SHATTAP!!!

Sincere 9gerian: Who is the fake Sincere Nigerian that created this thread? Anyway, congratulations to all Anambrarians for doing the RIGHT thing.

taharqa: On d Internet, my dear Bro. Where else??

Prof Corruption: Now, this is a pure joke.

Have a great day.

Katsumoto:

where is ndu_chucks?

He is being buried alive.

TerraCotta: I'm sure there are contemporary Nigerian records that say the same thing but it's useful to cite nonpartisan sources where possible. More interestingly, the reporter behind the article is Lloyd Garrison, who was a Biafran partisan and personal friend of Ojukwu and wrote a number of articles supporting Biafra throughout the war. He certainly would have given Ojukwu the credit for releasing Awolowo if that were true. Obviously it is not, and there goes yet another long-lived lie told by Ojukwu and his disciples.

Ikemba The Great: OJUKWU: We’ve said this over and over again, so many times, and people don’t understand; they don’t want to actually. If you remember, I released Awolowo from jail. Even that, some people are beginning to contest as well. Awo was in jail in Calabar. Gowon knows and the whole of the federal establishment knows that at no point was Gowon in charge of the East. The East took orders from me. Now, how could Gowon have released Awolowo who was in Calabar? Because of the fact that I released him, it created quite a lot of rapport between Awo and myself and I know that before he went back to Ikenne, I set up a hotline between Ikenne and my bedroom in Enugu. He tried like an elder statesman to find a solution. Awolowo is a funny one. Don’t forget that the political purpose of the coup, the Ifeajuna coup that began all this, was to hand power over to Awo.

We young men respected him a great deal. He was a hero. I thought he was a hero and certainly I received him when I was governor. We talked and he was very vehement when he saw our complaints and he said that if the Igbos were forced out by Nigeria that he would take the Yorubas out also. I don’t know what anybody makes of that statement but it is simple. Whether he did or didn’t, it is too late. There is nothing you can do about it. So, he said this and I must have made some appropriate responses too. But it didn’t quite work out the way that we both thought. Awolowo, evidently, had a constant review of the Yoruba situation and took different path. That’s it. I don’t blame him for it. I have never done.

Katsumoto: For the avoidance of doubt. we require the following from Alhaji Ndu_Chucks

1. The agreement Awo made with Ojukwu in 1966 that Awo would secede with Ojukwu

2. An official picture of Awo with Ojukwu right after release.

Prof Corruption: That's enough for me.
You can't declare war and at the same time bank on your enemy's support (food) to wage same war.
So all this talk of Awolowo did that or failed to have done that is nothing short of chasing shadows or resort to pure emotionalism when the real culprit was Ojukwu.

Prof Corruption: How can I deny a statement not credited to me? So keep the motives stuff to yourself.
Awolowo was not more responsible for the welfare of Biafrans than Ojukwu. Awolowo couldn't have claimed to love Biafrans more than Ojukwu. Did Ojukwu have an opportunity to import food but turn it down?

If Awolowo stopped food shipment, so what? It does not make sense to feed your enemy in the midst of raging war. When Nigeria stopped food shipment, there were many donors willing to send food but Ojukwu declined those offers apparently because he placed more premium on winning the war than caring for dying Biafrans. That's where culpability rests firmly on Ojukwu shoulders.

Anyway, if you can prove or show why Nigeria was obligated to send food to Biafrans during the war, then we may begin to examine Awo's culpability.

Prof Corruption: @ TerraCotta

You said a whole lot without actually saying anything.

I have two questions for you. Why was Nigeria willing to clear "food" shipments meant for Biafra but nevertheless stopped sending food to Biafra?
Was there a way to ensure such shipment, even when certified to be food but not arms, did not fall into wrong hands?


@ndu_chucks, what's wrong with Awo's statement ?

taharqa: See @Ndu-chuks, I regard this issue as been COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT and just d usual meaningless Noisemaking, But: was Elrufai an Accreditated INEC Observer or Agent?? If No, then there is a valid order against any political actor from moving around in today's election, except you are a Voter. Even d State Gov himself was so restricted. Bye..

TerraCotta: The most important evidence to absolve Awolowo, Gowon and the British government of the charge that they deliberately starved Biafrans comes from eyewitnesses—medical personnel, journalists and other observers in Biafra at the time. As Awolowo and other contemporary observers noted, the food and supplies sent to Biafra were systematically looted and hoarded by an elite cabal. Their decision to stop sending food was triggered by their realization that ordinary Biafrans would not be fed.

Let's start with Awolowo's quote. As is the usual practice of dishonest characters, the poster above selectively edits the passage to fit an agenda. I think it’s crucial to read the full portion so I’ll reproduce it here with some particularly important sections highlighted.

“But when I went what did I see? I saw the kwashiorkor victims. If you see a kwashiorkor victim you’ll never like war to be waged. Terrible sight, in Enugu, in Port Harcourt, not many in Calabar, but mainly in Enugu and Port Harcourt. Then I enquired what happened to the food we were sending to the civilians. We were sending food through the Red Cross, and CARITAS to them, but what happen was that the vehicles carrying the food were always ambushed by the soldiers. That’s what I discovered, and the food would then be taken to the soldiers to feed them, and so they were able to continue to fight. And I said that was a very dangerous policy, we didn’t intend the food for soldiers. … So I decided to stop sending the food there. In the process, the civilians would suffer, but the soldiers suffered most. –Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

Sheeple: ^I'm quite impressed with the improvement in your sentence construction. You definitely deserve some adulation for that. However, don't stop there - keep improving and I might get you an invite to come hang with the calibre of people I converse with intellectually outside this box.

Sheeple: The guns belong to fellow Igbos. But can Gbawe/take-dat, ballabriggs, donroxy and all the other APC political jobbers tell us why their stupid APC (more like armoured personnel carrier) is trying to destroy the lives of poor Yoruba folks by using them in an irrelevant election that has no bearing on the scheme of things?

Bunch of greedy and psychotic bastards. Keep Yoruba and Awo's name out of your do or die politics. APC and PDP are basically the same.

taharqa: If d Security Agents tell you to stay in a particular place cos of a valid order, and you want to play 'smart' by resisting them, then they are obliged to ARREST you azz then if need be in order to execute dat valid order.. U get?
