There is no way that the hausas would be able to withstand the beroms in their land.Its just not possible. They definitely have to be getting aid from the military.

Yea but its definitely going to happen. I suspect it will happen in Owerri also and the igbo part of delta state because from onitsha it will spread to there as well.

Just got an update from jos. The actual number of people that have been killed up until now is the violence reisurfaced is actually about 150. Also Christians have been retaliating but the military has been aiding the muslims and have been arresting innocent christians that were not even involved in the repraisal attacks.

Well, you have not answered why Yorubas and Hausas remained backwards despite winning the war and dominating leadership.


There is no need to talk like this.Disrespect and insults are not needed in the doscussion. Keep it political.

Btw, it's ok to keep sweeting your bele with the ignorant and meaningless dominating Lagos talk. Unfortunately for you, Lagos state ain't about just Ajegunle and Alaba.

Where is the wisdom and sense in boasting about you paying taxes and developing other people's land while your own dey crumble?

shey na the same other people's land you go leave for your grandchildren abi your crappy towns and villages? Do you people even think before uttering d/u/mb and ignorant rubbish? Shameless people,

Aren't most of those factories owned by Igbos and doesn't the SE have the lowest poverty rate in nigeria?Yes. look babapupa, your being very disrespectful, give credit where credit is due.That is what real men do.

The Japanese and Germans rebuilt their countries into the second and third largest economies in less than 40 years. what is there to celebrate in Biafra if after 40 years, all you have been able to build is a ramshacle place where only hardened criminals can survive.

Japan and Germany are countries, Biafra is not a country(yet).get it? Your brain should be used wisely my son.

I guess starvation as a policy is not considered a war of attrition. undecided The last time I checked, in order to defeat Biafra, you had to starve the populace. If my history is correct.

Sorry, but even though the Igbo population was decimated at record numbers, the international community would have prevented a genocide of an entire race of people. As the Americans said about the Jews, "Never Again."

However, I like to shy away from Biafra discussions, because I take that war very personally. A very sore spot if you ask me, since my area was one of the last to fall in the war. That means the fighting was fiercest in my region, and clan suffered heavy casualties.

Biafra was not beat by starvation, it was stopped because of the lack of weaponry. Starvation did not effect the soldiers but the civilians.

[size=15pt]Obasanjo leaves Cote d’Ivoire, Gbagbo defiant[/size]

Tuesday, 11 January 2011 00:00 Editor News - National



FORMER president Olusegun Obasanjo has left Cote d’Ivoire after he tried to persuade sitting president, Laurent Gbagbo, to step down peacefully.

The workers of the hotel where Obasanjo was staying and a member of his security detail, according to the Associated Press (AP) confirmed that the former president left early yesterday for Nigeria.

Gbagbo has refused to step down even though results issued by the electoral commission and certified by the United Nations (UN) showed he lost to opposition leader, Alassane Ouattara, by a near nine-point margin.

Obasanjo shuttled between the two men, seeing each once on Saturday night following his arrival, and twice on Sunday. The purpose of the visit was to exhaust the diplomatic options before a military intervention is considered.

Obasanjo made a surprise visit on Saturday night on a mission sanctioned by Nigeria, part of a flurry of initiatives aimed at persuading Gbagbo to give up power peacefully.

“My own exploration remains positive and to that extent , I am optimistic,” Obasanjo told journalists at a hotel in Abidjan late Sunday night.

He spent Sunday in talks with Gbagbo and Ouattara, who remains holed up in the lagoon-side Golf Hotel under guard of UN peacekeepers and blockaded by pro-Gbagbo military.

ECOWAS, headed by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, has threatened to remove Gbagbo by force if he refuses to go quietly. But any such military effort would be logistically daunting, and Gbagbo has dismissed such threats as interference in Cote d’Ivoire’s sovereign affairs.

Asked whether he still thought military intervention was the solution, Obasanjo replied: “When you have a problem you must consider all possible solutions.”

“We know that an election has taken place. The whole world knows the result of the election. My exploration is to see how and where we go from here,” he said.

In a sign that cracks were appearing in ECOWAS’s tough stance, Ghana’s President John Atta Mills announced on Friday that he would not take sides in the conflict and he did not believe a military action would solve anything.

“We believe in quiet diplomacy, so I have expressed reservations about the success of the intended military option. There are more than one million Ghanaians in Cote d’Ivoire. I don’t want to be saddled with problems we can’t solve,” Mills said.

Four other African leaders were in Cote d’Ivoire at the start of last week to attempt to mediate, but came back empty-handed.

The UN says at least 210 people have been killed in violence since the election, including 14 in inter-ethnic violence in the western town of Duekoue in recent days.

^^^ well you can as well do yourself a favour by searching but all i know it was a dialogue or if you like call it debate between these two men.

And the point here is that understanding that we are different; understanding that we all have our interests to protect and project; understanding that we must accommodate each other within the political and economic constrains; understanding that we must reach out to other groups with a warm handshake; understanding that the world does not belong to only our ethnic or religious group; understanding that fair play is critical to nation-building. We all know that there is diversity everywhere – if not by religion, then by region; if not by tribe, then by tongue; if not by dialect, then by idiolect. Our problem is not the diversity but HOW we manage it. And thats the essence of bringing up these topic here not to start talking sections, regions, ethnic groups or religions.

The only thing that is stopping us from unity is being in the same country. I'd go with Bello's quote. We are not the same and are different.Once we are confined in our own autonomous enclave and under our own form of government, then, we can unite through respect and a handshake.

I think either you don't understand the topic, or you are just another ethnic bigot who's mindset is fixed towards ethnicity and sectionalism. these are two quotes from two revered Nigerians and u did not address any of the quotes but busy attacking personality. shut up your mouth because we don't need the likes of you here.

What is the whole quote from Zik?

I actually think its the sharia law that differenciates them as ndu-chucks pointed out. Yorubas regard the law as brutality undecided.

Sharia law is simply unislamic and is instead arabic practice.That's is why yoruba muslims dont practice it, which they are right in not doing.
