stop being a mumu.
'colonizers' in this sense refers to Europeans as a whole.

Former governor of Cross River state Donald Duke says former President Jonathan told him and former president Obasanjo he never wanted to be the Vice president of Nigeria when he was selected to be the running mate to late President Umaru Yar'Adua for the 2007 general election. Donald Duke said this in an interview with news magazine, The Interviewer

"You don’t give authority to an unwilling person, particularly in a country like Nigeria. Umaru never wanted to be president. He was dealing with his health issues and wanted to retire and go lecture in a university. He was really offered an appointment at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria. Jonathan, on the other hand, had just been re-elected to be governor of Bayelsa and when he was picked, he was not so pleased. He said to Obasanjo and me, ‘I don’t want this job".
If these two men never aspired to the office but were recruited to take on a responsibility as daunting as the management of Nigeria without mentally preparing for the office and having a grand vision of where they wanted to take Nigeria to, then there is a problem. The mental preparation is absolutely important. The vision can be scripted for you, but if you are not prepared and you have no capable team to help you follow through, it is grossly unfair. It is like converting a passenger on an aircraft to a pilot.”

You need a link? You need to live abroad to see the number of Igbos abroad. For any 10 Nigerians you pass on any foreign street, 5 to 6 are likely to be Igbos.

Vicotex:
OP, you're on point.
I just checked it and everything you said just appeared like wily-wily

kotv:
I already knew that. i thought you were asking who named the biafran country biafra

AuntySusan:
You haven't contributed on the topic though. I can research on your concern at my leisure for curiosity sake. I'm very interested in those too

But so far, it's bn difficult for me to locate anyone that expresses deep hatred for GEJ and doesn't do same for Igbos on this forum.

What do u think about that? And if u don't belong to that class, I want to hear your opinion as well

kotv:
Chief Nicholas Abo Frank-Opigo was who named biafra. he is an izon.

AuntySusan:
Are you saying people may not mean what they type here?

AuntySusan:
So far, once I see a moniker that dishes out insults on Jonathan, it most always happens that they do same on Igbos. And vice versa

I'm yet to see those that do one and not the other. Their opinion is very much welcome

Saifullah01:
What is dis one saying

Chiaka:
Give it to Jonathan all the same. Still waiting to see any result from Buhari promises! True federalism, 1 dollar = 1 naira, Free meals to school kids etc! otherwise will say we have been raped day light by APC!

AuntySusan:
Once I see a moniker that displays deep hatred for Igbos, it usually turns out to be that the same moniker shows deep hatred for Jonathan too. By that I mean, the person never sees anything good about Jonathan just like they don't see anything good about Igbos.

Is it safe to say that the hatred for Jonathan attract hatred for Igbos or the hatred for Igbos attract the hatred for Jonathan. Is there a possibility that these two can be mutually exclusive?

Probably most people don't know the reason why Wole Soyinka was given Noble Prize Award. It was obvious that the Late Chinue Achebe was the favourite to win Noble Prize ahead of Wole Soyinka but Chinue Achebe was denied the award because he was the only person in Africa that stood and criticized the Western countries of been biased in giving award. He told them that in giving award, they should not only judge based on their {Western}perception of writing, but they should also look at it based on African perception.

This did not go down well with the Western countries who knew that the Late Chinue Achebe had exposed their biased judgement. So, to punish Chinue Achebe, they looked for his rival Wole Soyinka who was far behind the Late Achebe and gave him the Noble Prize thinking that would provoke hard feelings on Late Chinue Achebe.

Before then, nobody from Africa had won the award, and it was after Late Chinue Achebe criticized them that they decided to give it to Wole Soyinka. The Late Chinue Achebe was well known in the world than Wole Soyinka in everything.

fr3do:
I'm sure C. Achebe did not care about the colonizers' awards.

nwanlecha:
Come this yoruba man why are you and your people always concerned about what is happening on the other side of the Niger? What sort of shameless obsession is this? Have your people ever been included in the map of Biafra or the former Eastern region? Nawa o, unu nwekwalu efe. tufiakwa!

ATMC:
Omotola pls do not expose your ignorance of the purpose of the scheme. Thank you.

standupguy:
