brother, read history well, the major factor that caused the war was when thousands of people were killed in the north for reasons they don't know anything about, they didn't demand for their own country until they felt they were unsafe in the old one.

picture this, someone, a military officer, from kogi whose name is bayo, kills a prince whose names is abu, now this led to a mass roit which was deliberately left unchecked where thousands of people who don't even know bayo gets killed with impunity, just because their name doesn't sound like abu.

they go home and demand they want to be on their own, that's the simplest cause of the war.

even murtala demanded that the north secede, if not for gowon who told him to calm down, after the first wave of killings, ojukwu called for the takeover of power by the most senior officer, I think his name was bamidele, the guy refused, another senior offcer from the west couldn't control soldiers from the north beneath him, who took orders from a captain of northern origin.

the next most senior was a naval guy from the west too, but murtala and co insisted that they must have the power otherwise they would secede, eventually the two most senior officers from the west relinquished their power and gowon became president , ojukwu however refused to recognise his power, plus as military governor of the east, his people, smarting from the brutal and senseless killings insisted that they wanted their own country.

the rest is history

consider the above before you apportion blames

God bless good and sincere historians like you. We all are still witnesses to northern people killing sprey and madness at any slightest national disagreement.

Northerners used to kill only Igbos some decades ago during any slight national disagreement and the rest of Nigerians rejoiced and instead blamed Igbos for not staying in their land.

Nature in its own way of rewarding us...pushed northerners to form the dreaded Boko Haram militants now killing their own brothers and sisters and no longer Igbos alone.

If Nigerians trace their history well...we have a lot to learn if we must stay as one country; we must stop the marginalization of Igbos and even find a way to jointly help an Igbo person to become Nigeria's president.

Maybe nature and the blood of the innocent Igbos wasted since 1966 for no justifiable reason is part of the reason Nigeria has remained a mediocre as a nation after over 50yrs of independence.

I know many people won't agree nor understand, but to every physical action on earth, there's a spiritual undertone.

Boko Haram is not ordinary

Had Kaduna Nzeogwu killed d major Easterners as planned then without allowing them to escape we will not be here now,yes others killed their compatriots in West and North but conspired to fail in d East! The failure was d reason for the counter coup of July 1966 and Nig has not come out of this, Easterners were in strategic and plum positions then but d singular "plot" degenerate to ds sorry 'marginalisation' being witnessed now, as told by very elderly papa,the inability to execute those marked out to be killed in eastern region caused the Civil war despite d plea of Awolowo to tread softly. Umh,the rest is history...

The only person with accurate history of this coup and the imminent cause of the counter coup.

It was Ifeajuna that spoilt things for Nzeogwu and co. Ifeajuna out of love for his elderly cousin, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe who was then the president of Nigeria....leaked the coup info to Zik who fled Nigeria on medical leave grounds to avoid being killed.

If Ifeajuna had not leaked the info to Zik, Nnamdi Azikiwe would have been killed alongside Tafawa Belewa, etc and the northerners wouldn't have seen it as a tribal coup with eastern agenda.

Nzeogwu had good intentions with the coup...he hated corruption....hated Nnamdi Azikiwe, Tafawa Belewa and co for their corrupt ways and Islamic extremism traits.

Lizabeth25:
Who says you can't be happy without your boyfriend?

I think it's difficult if the boyfriend in question has money and probably spends on u....money is a strong charm that works on virtually all women, irrespective of race, skin color or background, lol

money, money, money....lol

lol

Thats why when I see people call Buhari's daughter super beautiful, I just laugh because I am sure most of them haven't been to Igbo land during xmas period to see what they call Beauty, class, elegance and brains in one pack!

Good analysis.

But you are wrong when u said: all cunning (not *conning*) guys are broke!

Most playboys are rich or financially buoyant. Once a man has money...he sees all women as object of pleasure except that one good woman he knew b4 he became rich or buoyant.


To be honest, u are right in most of your points....but I think Nigerian ladies contributed in shaping Nigerian guys into who they are today.


If u are a girl and u don't want to have sex....dont go into a committed relationship with any guy (white or black). but if u must date, pls don't demand or accept any gift or money from the guy....keep the date or relationship symbiotic and not parasitic.

Guys aren't father Christmas; if u know u can't give a guy anything...dont ask or expect anything from him.

To live a happy life free of stress and disappointments, don't expect too much from people.....give more than u accept or ask.

Monalisa185:
love me my Igbo guys...proud of you boys

lol.....

To the topic, bad people can come from anywhere....Justin Bieber, Drake, Chris Brown, etc are busy destroying diff women's hearts...does it mean that all American guys are playboys? NO!


A girl expecting guys to worship her the way she narrated should expect many heartbreaks; ladies pls get real we aren't living in fantasy land.

mobi18:
the thing is his probably not feeling the whole thing anymore possibly due to the distance. The fact that you saw each other everyday was what made it interesting,surely those kinda things fade out. Now he is drifting away naturally.it happens like that at times because i dnt believe a man is ever too busy to check on his gurl. My babe leaves d house 4.30 am because of work distance and hates driving in traffic but once he gets to his office,he msgs me to let me know his @ work. After his morning meeting,he calls me.. We chat during his lunch break,we talk on phone afta close of work because he leaves 8 pm and once his home ,we chat for 15 mins because of work the next day. we bth work but his work is more hectic because he works at the headquarter of a company.. so babe ah dny believe in bin too busy to chat or call ur loved ones.. dont call him too again,let d relationship die a natural death,u wnt feel the same way yu feeling naw by next 2 weeks

She ought to have considered her fellow students or corper....or a working class guy living in the same state where her school is, the guy believes she has a student boo

sonofananimal:
true!

You will be CHEATING and still be telling your distance guy that you love him!

And the way WOMEN behave like parasite nowadays is not something to talk about.

I guess that guy see her as a parasite and she is not making him believe that she is not a parasite

More especially female students.....no working class guy trust a female student! The guy believes she's seeing some other guys in school....and his friends and colleagues will be telling him so too. So its very hard for a guy who just met you as a student and u denied him intimacy to believe that u love him and that u are not having intimacy with fellow students for free.

If you observe very well nowadays....working class guys avoid going into committed relationship with female students, why? Because guys believe every female student have a student boyfriend who digs her for free while he will be far spending like mugu, that's the painful truth

charix:
E pain this guy well well for am to construct 5,000 word essay on the matter.

OP. Sodier come soldier go, barack still remain. You're not the first male nor tenth or hundredth to complain about all this and you sure are not the last. Suck it up, write girls who don't respond off and keep searching. Shikena.

lol

Most sexually active men don't handle long distance relationship so well....they get bored easily in a long distance relationship. And to make it worst, there is nothing to remember for him....no intimacy to fantasize or discuss since you guys didn't have one...and he believe he's wasting time with you...that maybe one student is having sex with you while you are telling him stories.

Most working class guys always have this innate belief that dating a student girl is a waste of time because to them, one student is having sex with the girl free of charge....either because of Indomie...assignment....closeness....exam assistance....little financial assistance, and when you check their fears so well...it is true.

Remember most working class guys passed through school too....so they know what female students do in school...so they hardly believe that a female student isn't getting some sort of intimacy from some random student guys.

Forget what people are saying here.....if you guys had any close intimacy before you went back to school...believe me, the guy wouldn't withdraw this fast.....but he's bored....when you call you ask: how's work...what did u eat today....what are u doing? nothing more....no intimate talks...no emotional talks...no nothing....it bores many guys...especially financially buoyant guys who think they have plenty better option than wasting time with a student far away having fun with some random guys for free.

my little advice: if u are a virgin not ready for intimacy...don't love....don't go into committed relationship....keep only male friends...and be far...don't demand from them....be on your own until you are ready else, u will be heartbroken many times and may end up hating to love. go into a relationship when u know u are ready to give your all without holding back.

So think again and plan well before embarking on your next relationship should this one fail

Fortunately or unfortunately....i can boldly say that I have both good and bad friends...I have rich...average and also broke friends...and I have learnt a lot from them when it comes to women issues...no man treat a lady who accepted him because of his material wealth with respect...he may act ignorant of your character....but I want to tell you that he knows what he's doing and with time you will soon realise that he is not a fool anyway.

It is not bad for a lady to desire to date and marry a rich or comfortable guy; that is my wish and prayer for my sisters, cousins, nieces and unborn daughters....but how u go about searching for that rich or financially comfortable guy as a lady will determine if u will find that rich or comfortable guy or not.

Sometimes that ordinary looking guy u ignored may be rich....average or comfortable financially and maybe because he didn't pose beside a big car or beside a fine house or bar or beach, or didn't approach u driving a fancy car, u just write him off like he's a nodowell....u ignore him and keep running after guys using their friends stuff to attract women, and after those guys catch you, use and dump you for other prettier ladies...u start to cry fowl that all men are bad...that all men are the same, how please?

Remember, I am not saying that guys are saints...of course guys are equally bad....I am only pointing out some of the reasons why most ladies miss out from meeting guys who would treat them like their queen. And again, I am not saying ladies should date or marry only broke guys..lol...no o....date whoever your mind desires so u can be satisfied...but the problem is the way ladies go about looking for financially buoyant guys makes guys to treat ladies anyhow and not value them. I have rich friends....and the way they treat ladies do make me sad because most of those ladies could have been with an average guy whom they can grow happily together with, and believe me, he will truly value and respect you (don't listen some cooked up stories of how one rich guy left his old time girlfriend for a new catch..it happens but very rare...check out most of our celebs today, and check around your family and place too)...but because of most ladies' unshakable love for material things and money....they run after rich guys with uncountable number of girlfriends, and end up treating them like trash and lack of respect.

Money is good...we are working and doing business to live happy life and provide for the people we love but we shouldn't allow our love and greed for money and material things to carry us away, that's all I am saying.

You maybe dating a rich guy but u are his number 50 girlfriend....while an average guy is begging u to come be his number 1 whom he will spend all he has on and u keep ignoring him...I do pity ladies sha cos most are ignorant of their acts.

My humble advice to all single ladies....be nice to all guys who say hi or approach you respectfully and politely irrespective of how broke their appearance maybe; don't be hash on guys...always remember that guys are also humans with feelings, so before you go making a guy feel worthless by rejecting him rudely or ignoring him like poo, please remember he's human like you and don't forget karma is real...how you treat others, u shall be treated, its real no jokes.

I have seen rich guys who don't look rich from afar...not all fat men with pot belly are rich o...make una shine una eyes o....that slim simple looking guy might be more loaded than that fat Dangote-look-alike you are rushing to reply his hi or hello online and in real life....i speak from personal experience o....una well done o lol

Ladies need to be wise...smart...prayerful and stop being greedy and give all guys a fair chance and see what he has in store for them.


I pray we all find love and happiness sooner this year in Jesus Christ name....amen!

Hi guys, Happy New Year. I wish all honest and sincerely single guys and ladies searching for a partner the best of God's favour this New Year in their search for love.

I want to address an issue here. I have been a guest of this forum for too long; especially the romance, family and celebrity sections, and I have observed that guys do complain that most females don't reply private messages...it is not compulsory for someone to reply a private message on a forum, but at least an ordinary hi deserves a 'hello' based on courtesy and chivalry....internet is supposed to be a good medium for sincerely single, introvert/shy and busy people to find good mate since it affords them the opportunity to bare their mind to the opposite sex without fear of rejection or being turned down...and it is supposed to help ladies solve our societal stigma of ladies not making polite and indirect advance on a guy they admire, especially those that feel shy approaching the opposite sex in real life but the opposite is the case today.

I have seen and heard many happy couples today who met online even though media is quick in publicising and promoting the bad news about social media and internet dates; they hardly or rarely publish the plenty happy couples that met online...yet many are single praying for a partner yet they ignore hi online without even giving an opportunity to know who the guy is and what he's up to...very bad I must say. yes I know some bad guys have tarnished the image of all guys in general through their unscrupulous acts towards ladies, but still we can't stop entering flight or cars because of plane crash and accidents on the roads...give other guys the benefit of doubt cos u never can tell.

Another ugly trend I have heard from different guys is that on any internet platform, social media, forum, or dating site, that ladies tend to reply a guy's message very fast if the guy put up rich profile pics or pose beside luxury cars, big houses or appear like he live abroad on his profile pictures....

Now, ladies listen up: no real guy out for good and searching for love or real friendship will be flashing whatever he has online....when a guy wants to find genuine love or girlfriend online or offline, he even hides his identity....stop accepting guys based on how rich and fine their pictures are...learn from your mistake...give all guys who approach you politely and respectfully a chance...good products don't always come in flashy package...be careful.


Internet is a good medium for single people to meet and start up a relationship....date or whatever....lets not destroy it....internet is good if you are honest and not greedy. be real...don't be greedy...above all, pray!

Greed is the major reason people fall into the wrong hand in life. if u are greedy, u will end up meeting the wrong business partners....the wrong romance partners and may end up marrying the wrong person.

Money is good...we all wanna live a happy life free of debt and lack...but being too forward and greedy about it has led many ladies into falling for playboys and bad men.
