Politics › Group Breaks Away From Mend As Implosion Of Mend Begins. by nduchucks(op): 2:08am On Feb 16, 2010

A group of militants in the Niger Delta under the auspices of Niger Delta Survival Movement has broken ranks with the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), the mainstream militant group in the region, saying the latter has lost focus.

In a statement made available to The Tide source, signed by its spokesman, Black Gold, the group said, “after due consultation with all sincere and selfless stakeholders in the struggle for the genuine emancipation of the down-trodden people of the Niger Delta, we have resolved to break ranks with the so-called Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, (MEND).

“ We have also resolved to continue the pursuit of freedom, more involvement of Niger Deltans in their affairs and the development of the region under a new platform known as Niger Delta Survival Movement,” he added.

According to him, “We have arrived at this painful but necessary decision, after watching in utter dismay as MEND, which was formed to lead a revolution for the freedom and development of the region, become an avenue for the perpetration of the same evil it was set up to fight.

“We are shamed indeed, to disclose that MEND has become a tool for self- enrichment and aggrandisment. The deception and manipulation of our courageous fighters for the personal benefit of a few leaders in MEND will emerge as the saddest experience in the history of the Niger Delta struggle. We wish to ask a few questions at this point.

“Where are the so called leaders of MEND today? Are they with the boys in the various ‘concentration camps’? The answer is a painful NO.

They are hibernating in Government Houses, cruising around in choice automobiles or scavenging for contracts. True revolutionaries do not indulge in frivolities when there is work to be done. The Niger Delta struggle deserves better direction, leadership and sincerity of purpose.

“The Niger Delta Survival Movement will not be engaged in any reckless and disorderly employment of violence. Rather, it will pursue its interest with decorum and circumspection.

However, it will be a regretful error to misread this position as weakness”, it stated.

The group added, “We appreciate the progress made by the Federal Government on the East-West road and the proposed Niger Delta coastal road network. However, we call for the expeditious handling of all life-improving projects in the Niger Delta.

“We will cooperate with the Federal Government, as long as there is irreversible commitment to the logical conclusion of the post-amnesty programme.

To this end, we will restrain our fighters and remain faithful to all programmes directed at the improvement of the lives of the majority of Niger Deltans.

“Therefore, we will see our current hardship as our contribution to the emergence of a better and an egalitarian region. We pray that the enemies within will turn a new leaf”, it further stated.

However, Ojukwu insisted on prevailing discipline and military parlance that dictate that succession should be a matter of seniority. Based on this doctrine, Ojukwu simply insisted that Brigadier Ogundipe, who was the COSS and second in command to Ironsi, should be the Head of State and Command-in-Chief in the absence of the Gen. Ironsi.

The above is contrary to accounts by very credible eyewitnesses who were present at the Aburi meeting. Where did you get your own ~~mis~~information?

Ojukwu actually agreed that Gowon should be head of state. The only request Ojukwu made was that Gowon should not be addressed as the Supreme Commander, as Ironsi was. Ojukwu wanted Gowon to be addressed as head of state.

Brigadier Ogundipe, who was next to Ironsi in rank, could not succeed him as head of state. Ogundipe sacrificed his career and his status to restore peace to Nigeria.

What's your source of information? Do you have any specific reason why we should not believe Gen. Mobolaji Johnson's account of these events as stated above?

Why is Ojukwu still respected and even revered in Igboland today while all his opponents in 1967 like Gowon are irrelevant. Is it because Igbo people are led by the nose?

We know who committed genocide against us. Some of them are dead (killed by the same crimes they visited on others), while others like Gowon believe they deceive people with covers like "Nigeria prays", while praying to the devil.

Ojukwu is a well respected man, I myself admire and respect the man for various reasons. He, like me, speaks all three major languages in Nigeria fluently. The man is truly one of a kind!

Nothing you say, can change the fact that had Ojukwu and his commanders surrendered soon after biafra was blockaded, millions of women and children would not have died from starvation. This fact is not in dispute. I do understand why you are refusing to state that Ojukwu and his commanders have culpability in this matter - your fellow Igbo people will isolate you and skin you alive if you dare challenge Ojukwu in a public forum or make any unpleasant remark about him.

It is this fear that is preventing you from being truthful in this case - I understand. You superior Eziachi, who fought in the war should be brave enough to state that Ojukwu made a mistake by not surrendering promptly causing these innocent children to die. He is no coward like you - or so I hope.

As the Americans say in the hood, Immo pin y'all down on this one. cheesy

Our people died from war crimes brought upon them in markets (strafing from aerial bombs), churches, hospitals, and starvation orchestrated by Awolowo and Gowon. The war was not unavoidable. It was launched by Gowon's Nigeria. We fought to defend ourselves.

Onlytruth, I submit to you as an indubitable fact that, Ojukwu and his commander's failure to surrender after biafra was blockaded contributed the most to the senseless deaths of the millions of women and children. If they had surrendered those women and children would not have died. Ojukwu and his commanders were not stupid and they knew that their decision would result to these senseless deaths.

Onlytruth, show compassion for the dead and admit this monumental mistake and possible crime by biafran leaders. You are beginning to sound very irrational, insensitive, and outright evil. There is nothing wrong with admitting an obvious error. Your stubborness is only making you appear like a weaklin, olodo

Onlytruth, if you can't describe what drives you people then your writing skills are inadequate, you are confused, you are driven by irrationality that you yourself cannot explain, or you are simply delusional.

I hope you can tell the whole world what drives you to accept the failure to surrender by Ojukwu and his commanders, when they knew fully well that the act would cause the deaths of millions of women and children.

This failure to surrender at the expense of millions of lives is the greatest tragedy of all. Another tragedy is the denial by people like you, Onlytruth. Onlytruth, shame on you! Do you have any immediate family members who starved to death? How can you find this failure to surrender acceptable under any condition; are you that evil?

Ojukwu may have done more good than harm in your opinion, but be honest for once and admit that his blunder and stubborn refusal to surrender at the expense of the lives of millions of women and children was at the very least criminal and ill advised. If you are unwilling to make this admission then I feel sorry for you.

@ndu_chuks

Wow!!! It is quite a deceitful shenanigan that few dullards would stroll onto Internet and begin to campaign for the reign of unity in colonial contraption called Nigeria.

Let us try being logical by stating that in any country that had experienced coup d’etat, the ethnic group that has the largest number of officers cadre in the country’s armed forces would likely have the larger number of participating officers than ethnic groups with relative small number of officers. Whether the January 15, 1966 coup was Igbo dominated or not remains irrelevant and should not have instigated pogrom in northern region of Nigeria if there were no ulterior political motives.

I don't particularly disagree with the above analysis - it is actually on point. I also agree with you that the fact that the Jan. 15 coup was Igbo dominated should not have instigated the "pogrom" in the northern region. The fact remains however that, the igbo dominated coup and the fact that Northern leaders including Balewa and Sadauna were killed, indeed instigate the said pogrom! It shouldn't have, but it did. Your guess is as good as mine regarding what other ulterior motives could have also contributed to the pogrom.

"To the fullest extent of the means available to it, the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring the food and medical supplies of the population; it should, in particular, bring in the necessary foodstuffs, medical stores and other articles if the resources of the occupied territory are inadequate."

Onlytruth, I know you can read. Er, Art 55 quoted above refers to the Occupying Power. In case you are ignorant of this fact, let me remind you that when the millions of women and children were being starved, the only occupying force in biafra was the biafran troops. So Art. 55 if respected, should have forced your leader to surrender in order to comply. Guess what, your leader was the one in violation of Art.55 of the Geneva convention, olodo.

I really don't expect you to see my point, heck you are a Hausa man! So keep deceiving yourself. Approximately 200,000 Biafrans died in combact (Biafran soldiers and combatants ), but about 1.5 million civilians mainly women, the old, and children died from an act you term as a legitimate war strategy. Your foolery knows no bounds.

We know how the majority of our people died in that war and it was not at the war fronts; it was in their homes, markets and churches where they were supposed to be safe.

Herein lies the folly of you and your leader. Biafra was blockaded, your commanders knew fully well that if they didn't surrender immediately over a million children and women would die, yet they chose not to surrender! The result was the deaths of all these innocent people and you still refuse to admit that your commander has any culpability. This is the epitome of denial in the worst sense. Every reader of your post can see what you've written. I'd recommend that you stop defending the indefensible. If you had lost a mother, a child, or a wife due to the said starvation, I'm sure your view would be different.

I state categorically that your leader and commanders in addition to the decision makers within the federal troops are squarely responsible for the deaths of these people - and yes Ojukwu and his commanders are culpable as well.

Onlytruth:
The thinking style of people like ndu_chucks is why Nigeria is really a joke. He conveniently side stepped my earlier poser to him about using starvation to defeat Biafra.

I did not side step your silly question. Blockade is a legitimate war tactic that forces the blockaded army to surrender very quickly. Most sane leaders will surrender immediately and avoid the senseless killing of their people. In the case of biafra, Ojukwu and his commanders put the lives of hundreds of thousands of children and women at risk and ultimately to waste, while they ran away!

There would have been no starvation if the biafran troops had simply surrendered when they knew there was no other way out. The Army commanders simply allowed those children and women to starve to death, those commanders including Ojukwu deserve to be charged for war crimes along with their cohorts within the federal troops.

Onlytruth:
You tell me that you cannot have a successful country without me, yet you support killing me off, what a duplicity!
We ndigbo are not fooled by Gowon's statements. Nigeria will not be a successful country without ndigbo, so the country would rather kill us off by all means. Is that not twisted? Ever wonder why the niger delta can still be wiped off for oil today?

To answer your question directly hundreds of thousands of Igbo women and children's lives (as you put it) would not have perished if Biafra had surrendered [/b]because starvation was used as a war tactic.

With that question out of the war I make bold to say that you understand nothing about the will power to defend a people, trust me that is why you cannot push an [b]Igbo man around, he would rather die fighting than accept the role of a slave even in his own land.

I'm glad you've finally stated the obvious, i.e. Ojukwu's decision not to surrender after the blockade directly contributed to the deaths of these women and children.

You also stated that an igbo man would rather die fighting, the sad thing is that, your hero Ojukwu did not do that. Instead of him and his commanders to die fighting, they ran away and let the women and children die. This fact is not in dispute and the act is shameful. Those of you who are insensitive to this cowardly act probably do not have relatives, children, or mothers who died as a result of the act.

As I said earlier, attrocities were perpetrated on both sides, the least an intellectually honest person you can do, is admit that.

Would you be willing to admit that if Ojukwu had surrendered as soon as the blockade was in place, hundreds of thousands of Igbo women and children's lives would not have perished?

Confirm your intellectual honesty and admit that what Ojukwu did in this case, was wrong and let's move on. There were attrocities on both sides and it takes a real man to speak the truth. Let's call a spade, a spade.

We can debate whether a blockade is a valid war tactic later.

Ojukwu does not need any pardon because what he saw and complained about over 40 years ago are being witnessed and addressed even today so that makes him a very wise man.

Afam, I suspect you are an honest man. Would you be willing to admit that if Ojukwu has surrendered as soon as the blockade was in place, hundreds of thousands of Igbo women and children's lives would not have perished? Allowing these children and women to die senselessly is an attrocious act of wickedness and cowardice.

I am not talking about what Ojukwu saw 40 years ago and are being witnessed as you put it, today. I am talking about hundreds of thousands of Igbo children and women who died. Surely, Ojukwu shares in the responsibility of their dealths. That of course, is not to say that the people who imposed the blockade are free of sin.

How many more Northerners were fed this crap that you wrote? How many innocent people have died based on such propaganda and lie?

I'm sure you are smart enough to understand that the belief that Kaduna was from the East did not cause the "pogroms" that followed the coup. It was the fact that most of the Majors that perpetrated the coup were Igbos and the fact that the leaders of the North as I mentioned earlier were killed that triggered the said response.

If you choose to ignore that point, that's your choice. But to conclude that these events took place simply because people thought Kaduna was Igbo, is intellectually dishonest and outright silly.

His hometown is very close to Asaba - that area was deemed East, back in 1966. You people can disown him if you wish, it doesn't change the point I was making.

You, of all people should not have any difficulty understanding why some sections of Nigeria embarked on "pogrom". A coup was led by Kaduna (possibly an Easterner) which resulted in the cold blooded murder of primarily Northern highly beloved leaders, inculding Sardauna and Balewa - and you tell us you don't understand why their subjects reacted the way they did. Well, I don't believe you.

In the event of Nigeria/Biafra civil war that is still raging on, the undisputable culprits that have most blood on their hands were the Gowon, entire northern region of Nigeria, British, USSR, Australia, Chad, Niger, Cameroon, Arab leagues and the ethnic groups of southern Nigeria that joined the Nigerian vandals assembled by Gowon to perpetrate a war of attrition on Biafra.

I don't know how you measure "most blood or "some blood" when we are talking about the loss of lives of possibly millions of Nigerians who hail from "biafra" and other parts of the country. In addition to the "culprits" you named above, you have to agree with me that Ojukwu and his commanding officers who allowed children to starve to death while they themselves ran away, rather than surrender, should be included in the list of those who have blood in their hands.

I'm afraid Hon. Farouk Adamu has the law on his side and may very well win this lawsuit bringing us back to square one. Jonathan and his new AG need to ask for all kinds of postponement in court to buy valuable time.

In the maintime, Jonathan must force the FEC to declare Yar'Adua unfit once and for all, so that he can consolidate his power and be sworn-in as the President of Nigeria. Jonathan is well advised to remove any member of the FEC and members of the so-called kitchen cabinet, who are not ready to declare Yar'Adua unfit - he needs to fire these people with immediate effect.

Jonathan has the full support of most everyday Northerners who believe in the rule of law, 90% of the callers into BBC Hausa recently expressed the view that they did not care whether the President is from the North, South, East, or West as long as he does a good job. The average Northerner has not benefited from these so-called heads of states from the North. The thieving governors and thieving elite come from every part of the country. Its high time we, the people, took back our country from these thieves.

Jonathan should be sworn-in under section 144 of the constitution. The best chance of that happening is for Jonathan to have some balls and force the FEC to declare Yar'Adua unfit. The cowards in the parliament will not impeach Yar'Adua.

We have a very real opportunity as a country to move forward in a positive manner. May God help Goodluck Jonathan; may God heal Yar'Adua and may God bless One Nigeria. Amu kuma Amu.

Was the Biafra war against Igbos or not? If you do not have the answer, please buzz off and stop injecting personalities into a serious matter that affects an entire ethnic group. Gowon says the war was not against a tribe (Igbos). Is this true or false?

Everyone referred to the war as Biafra war/Civil war. The war was between Federal troops vs the Igbos and others who tried to secede. Obviously the majority of those claiming Biafra were Igbos, this fact should be as clear as a whistle.

Now I don't believe that Gowon said the civil war was not against Ndigbo simply because the article quoted Gowon making a statement that completely contradicts that point. If the title of the article is "Civil War Not Against Ndigbo — Gowon", you'd think that the author would at least provide us with the quote that supports the point that Gowon made that statement.

It is very difficult to find fault with the outlined, four pillars on which the next phase of the current reforms in the banking sector would be based as stated below.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has unveiled four pillars on which the next phase of the current reforms in the banking sector would be based.
CBN Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi listed the four pillars to include enhancing the quality of banks, establishing financial stability, enabling healthy financial sector evolution and ensuring that the financial sector contributes to real economy.

He said this at the Bussinessday International Conference on banking reforms in Lagos, a statement from CBN said.

The first phase of the CBN reform which was done last year led to the injection of about N620 billion into some banks that had liquidity problems, weak corporate governance etc.

He said the banking crisis was caused by regulatory shortfalls within the CBN and other regulators, host of other problems bordering on poor corporate governance within banks and lack of effective risk management practices.

The Governor said the reform is meant to encapsulate a holistic set of strategies and initiatives designed to stabilize the banking sector and promote long sustainable growth of the sector and the economy as a whole.

He said the strategies and initiatives to address the crisis include fixing the problems of the banks, tighter regulation, adoption of risk based supervision, effective consumer protection and reform of the CBN itself.

Unfortunately Gowon and his ilk can make senseless comments like this because he knows the 'will' doesn't exist to prosecute the perpetrators of atrocities and war crimes.

"Nigeria as a country would have been a failure if the Igbo race had been allowed to leave the country Nigeria because they have contributed immensely to the growth and development of this country," he said.

What has been left unsaid is also important, the war was also about hegemony and the control of other peoples resources.

Regarding the civil war, it suffices to say the following: Ihe Chukwu mere Igbo di ofu, Ihe Ndiigbo mere onwe ha di itenani (I'm referring here, to the ill adviced war that Ojukwu led them into).

The price of that ill adviced war is still being paid by the posters and posts on this thread. How sad are the consequences of war. sad

Sports › Re: Giovanni Trapattoni To Sign Two Year Contract With Nigeria by nduchucks: 3:36pm On Feb 13, 2010

It appears as if the story that Giovanni Trapattoni is to sign a 2-yr contract may be untrue.

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has denied reports that they have concluded arrangement to meet with Republic of Ireland manager, Giovanni Trapattoni, Guus Hiddink as well as the other coaches in London Thursday next week.

Chairman of the NFF technical committee, Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi, said there was no iota of truth in the report just as he informed that all the candidates jostling for Shaibu Amodu’s job had been instructed to hit Abuja for interview.

“We never agreed to hold interview with any of the shortlisted coaches in London, and we have no plans to do that. The interview will still hold in Abuja as scheduled on February 26 and all the coaches on our wish list have been notified about the arrangement. Invitation letters have already been dispatched to them,” Chief Ogunjobi explained to SoccerStar.

He said the NFF would no more discuss the issue of foreign coach inside the pages of newspapers until the deal has been finally sealed.
