He was a military man and military men don't do diplomacy.

Only in your own syllabus or are you from Mars ?

Dereformer:
Never again brother. I say Never again.

Who wants to be trusted by traitors of the stock of Ifeajuna and Azikiwe ? Dregs.

Donmarrius:
What's this one saying?.
When you finishes in Igbo demonization spree,let me know.mtchww

Your cognitive reasoning is rather low

meccuno:
well....we all know who and who wrecked Nigeria......1966 - 1970 was a period of 4 years which Nigeria went through crises......but 1970-1999 is equally a longer period of time which the Northerners and the South westerners were in power......they had the chance to make it right.....one thing you should understand is that you have a leader from a tribe is one thing.....and you have the workers who are from a particular tribe is another thing.......e.g former minister of aviation.....there were so many things that happened in the aviation sector which probably most of you didn't know about but that's for another day........you have whatever notions as fact and I am not here to either change ur beliefs.....you can live with it......what caught my fancy was when you said "South westerns will never support their own son who has been found guilty on corruption charges"........what was awolowo convicted for? And what were the allegations labelled against abiola which FELA of blessed memory sang about? To the best of my knowledge,these two men are gods in the SW.......so I don't know what you are talking about

You reason like a kindergarten and this thread is for the initiated, sorry.

In law court, a judge would not pick only number 1, he/she would look at every evidence before him/her holistically before making his/her final judgement. Treat people the same way u wish to be treated.

Dont mind the myopic jingoist.

Donmarrius:
My friend,don't sound as if the peoples General was authocratic.

DIGEST THIS,ESPECIALLY NUMBER ONE;

1. For some time now,
you and I have been
discussing the
circumstances that have
led to the current and
inevitable disintegration
of what was the
Federation of Nigeria.
We have been fully
convinced that the aim
of the Hausa/Fulani
complex has ever been,
and will ever remain,
the total domination of
every other part of
what was known as the
Federation of Nigeria. It
is impossible to forget
that the crisis which led
to the army take over in
January 1966, the coup
of the Northern soldiers
led by Gowon in July
1966, the wholesale
and indiscriminate
massacre of the people
of what is now Biafra-
and, to a less degree,
the people of the Mid-
West and West,
including the Yorubas,
were all the direct result
of Hausa/Fulani attempt
to subjugate and use as
tools, the gallant people
of Western Nigeria
namely the Yorubas. We
do not need to remind
ourselves of the heavy
losses in life and
property suffered by the
Yoruba people in their
fight for justice and
freedom during 1965.
2. Sharing.our belief
that the people of
Yorubaland have a right
to live a life of equality
and self-respect and
justice free of
domination and
dictatorship from any
quarter, you have both
identified with the
cause of the Biafra
struggle for survival and
expressed your
determination to see
the people of
Yorubaland freed from
Hausa/Fulani
domination.
We, the people of Biafra,
for our part are willing
and have decided to
give you and the people
of Yorubaland every
assistance to achieve
your aim.

Trash

WhiteTechnology:
To be frank

Ojukwu's demand was not correct


If I were him, I will tell Banjo to get to the West, train and equip yorubas on modern warfare, after which , he should send back Biafran soldiers once he is sure Odua can be defended .

He should have allowed Yorubas determine their fate


As a true Biafra who believes in truth no matter who is wrong.

Ojukwu f u c k e d up

'Thank you but you are a rare type amongst the lot.

Donmarrius:
You mean rising to halt the killing of Biafrans as urgently as it demands,is now tagged "rush into disastrious"

Use your brain and not your mind and you'll discover your question unnecessary. The pogrom was in reaction to something, what ?

FolarinLondon:
Why can't you guys be honest for once and deal with other people's issue with open mind, impartiality and fairness? Can Biafra accept these stupid conditions from less populated region(from Ijaw as a typical example)? I presumed No. So why on earth do you expect a reasonable Yoruba to sell his destiny for a plate of rice.

Thank God we didn't accept these stupid conditions.

Hausa/Fulanis are not the problems of Nigeria. Having taking my time to look into Nigeria history, my conclusion is that Igbo is d problem. I don't want to start any unreasonable argument/debate with you online; I am willing and ready to present my fact and findings on Nairaland instead of arguing blindly and of course you r equally welcome to present your own facts as regards Nigeria history; where it all started, where we got it wrong and still getting wrong......

Dont bother yourself. It takes only seasoned and enlightened minds to admit an error and display honesty and transparency devoid of ethnic sentiment on issues and Igbos/Ibos, whatever they call themselves, are not made of such stuff. Augueing with an Ibo over Nigeria/Yoruba issue is like a science professor trying to explain the law of gravity to a 5 year-old kid. For instance, what do you make of a people who enjoy unfettered freedom in the SW, given a commissionership in Lagos State ( the same privileges they deny others in their domain) and still complain of marginalisation ? They murdered peace through tribal bigotry by slaughtering leaders of other regions except their own. In other words, Ifeajuna betrayed the agreed course of the coupists by treachery. But the same people will turn round to accuse the Yoruba of treachery. Finally, Ironsi killed true federalism by fiat thinking he and his Ibo stock would be able to subjugate other regions. They are a people to be loathed and kept at arm's length.

Donmarrius:
Did you read

[/](ix) As soon as possible
after your appointment
as the Military Governor
of Western Nigeria and
separation of that
territory from Nigeria,
you and I must meet to
discuss:
(a) the duration of stay
of Biafran troops in your
territory;
(b) the areas and
subjects of cooperation
between the liberated
sovereign states of
Western Nigeria, or by
what name it may call
itself, and Biafra.
4. I do not need to
remind you that Biafra
regards all Yoruba as
friends. As such
everything should be
done, to ensure the
minimum force and loss
of life are involved in
achieving the objective
of liberation.
5. It is essential, in order
to avoid
misunderstanding or
confusion, that all
subsequent requests for
support be formally
made to me by you in
writing.
6. Will you please
signify in writing, your
acceptance of the above
conditions so that you
may leave for Western
Nigeria and lead the
army of liberation.[/b]

This shows Ojukwu as a proud fool with expansionist tendencies. No worthy son of Yoruba ancestry could've agreed to such buffoonry by Ojukwu. The letter indicates he was a bossy fellow too full of himself. Am seething to avenge the murder of Victor Banjo.

teufelein:
if only yoruba people had been wise enough to see the wisdom in the gospel as preached by Ojukwu, then by now, freedom would have come to both Ndigbo and them...be reminded at that time yorubas were very weak and needed a big brother to safeguard their territory...by now the yorubas could have be masters in ilorin, kwara state...

Yoruba of then and now are not a bunch of dunces like you and your Ojukwu.

moscobabs:
WE GO STILL VOTE BUHARI




if una like make google tell una say na buhari kill your grandpa



he go still win in 2015

Yes, as long as satan will always have followers, goons will always vote for Buhari which is why he remains a serial loser.

homesteady:
Is it really true?

Yes, its a fact that can be verified from records.

Vikkie14:
Hmm... Shey this one na REVELATION abi ALLEGATION?
If GMB did this to SW, then he's callous. I can't imagine something of this magnitude could be "Ethnicized". Isn't that why we aint progressing as a nation?
BTW, WHAT IS PROGRESSIVE ABOUT BUHARI if he did this? Why are we now calling him Progressive?

And GMB is asking for my Vote in SW!!!
And someone would be shouting CHANGE and PROGRESSIVE for my ear.

For the records, Buhari did it. I was a living witness. Jakande, the man at the receiving end is still alive. When Buhari's soldiers went to Jakande's house to arrest him, his wife told them to go look for him in his office. They went and met him at his table working !

Blurry:
Who in his right senses will stop a project and go ahead to pay the same amount to the company handling it as a penalty.

Oya GMB supporters, please provide your principal's side to this tale.

If this is true....then we need another messiah. GMB aint one!

Buhari has never been in his right senses. What do you make of a military head of state who got wind of a planned coup against him, then invited the fingered villain for a chat and flew out of the country ? .

Ilekeh:
How much did they pay this one?

Nothing because she is not an agent of propaganda.

Kingsimmer:
NICE one ,mrs... he was dumb den...,we ve forgiven him ;because he has learnt sum respect and manners now...giv him anoda chance to amend his ways & right his wrongss!!!

Show me which leopard had changed its skin.

siraj1402:
No one can tell me one side of any story without me hear the other side.Nevertheless, when you have two evils you have to choose a lesser one.Unknown angel of GMB is better than a known devil of GEJ.

Whether you want to believe it or not is immaterial because it happened and it made me hate Buhari when it did. Am happy this woman brought it up. Buhari did it for his hatred for anything SW. The fool prefered to waist $500m in addition to $60m already paid just out of hatred for a progressive people. Same way he callously jailed our politicians unjustifiably. Again during his watch at PTF his main area of concentration was the north as against the south. Anyway, like the madam rightly said, Buhari is used to failure and will fail again.

BUHARI/APC is a pregnant woman about to give birth to ISIS.

onatisi:
bros,there is a difference between south east in general and south east apc members . South east apc members may have donated the chunk of buhari fund that doesn't mean it is the whole south east that supports buhari.

The same way some people erroneously see the SW as being entirely APC or Tinubu's fans which is far from the truth. I keep telling people that the presidential results from the SW may give APC leaders a nightmare. Whether people admit it or not, there is something about the SW vis-a-vis elections that is uniquely peculiar compared to other regions. The voting pattern in 2015 may be a repeat of 2011.

Collynzo419:
Nonsense

Nigeria is made of different ethnic groups!!

Lagos is YORUBALAND!!!!

That ethnic homogeneity you talk about is only possible because YORUBAS are welcoming and give your iboe people a chance to escape poverty .
As always, you iboes will take people for fools and have declared Lagos as no man's land which is bullshiiite.

Iboes are immigrants in Lagos and all Yorubaland. U are here because we welcome u and let u live peacefully and have a life you would not have in your village

We are progressive and will vote for anyone but that is our choice and not at your request.

Can I ask you? What opportunities do non-ibos have in your state?

U can not expect to have what you can never ever give others- hypocrites!!!

Ayo ni tire yio ma a je.

Justcash:
In essence, you are saying that we are better off divided?

Resounding yes.

Justcash:
Ewwww, you sound so pained and frustrated. Tone down your insults, you can really make your point without using abusive words.

Are you suggesting that the aim of IGBOS to partake in the governance of Lagos state is wrong? Why? Are Igbos not Nigerians? How do you know that you will not be given an opportunity to partake in politics in South Eastern states? Have you tried?

I think we should be clear about what we want as Nigerians. A United Nigeria means that NIGERIANS must be free to live and partake in the Nigerian project from any state they choose. Lagos state, by virtue of history, happens to be a good example of Nigerianness. If it is only Yorubas that must lead in Lagos state, which is not befitting for a cosmopolitan NIGERIAN city, then we must start to question what being a Nigerian means?

You need to cool down. You sound hypertensive.

Why not disabuse your mind about this Nigerian project so that you can reason better ? How long will it take you to get it into your skull that the Yoruba is not desperate for a united or one Nigeria, never mind the likes of the illegitimate Obasanjo who is obsessed with that project simply because he is aware of his non-relevance amongst the Yoruba who see and treat him like an outcast that he is.

AJINATU:
Now this is getting seriously, dangerously and annoyingly out of hand ... Are the ibos the only tribe present in Lagos out of the more than 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria?

Whom the gods want to destroy they first make mad. Left for me, i pray for the opportunity to revenge the murder of Victor Banjo by the Ibo. Let them keep digging for their waterloo. My research shows pockets of their concentration which enhances our mission. Nobody needs tell them to stop their annoying posturing because they are dealing with cowards.

Justcash:
What I don't understand is how people like you want One Nigeria, but is so scared of practicing One Nigeria. What then was the civil war fought for?

I can see that your mates are quick to like your comment. You guys should be sure of what you want. If you want Lagos for yourselves, why did you waste men and resources trying to stop the emergence of Biafra? Hummmm?

Go and ask Ifeajuna, Ironsi, Ojukwu and Zik of eastern region. They will tell you why.

oduastates:
Go and practice that in your own state.
Yorubaland will never be used for "one Nigeria" experiment.

Period

Justcash:
Lagos is ripe for advanced political reasoning and multi-ethnic governance. Lagos state is miles ahead of other states in Nigeria. Many Nigerians from other ethnic groups are more Lagosian than their original ethnic group. The state should lead the way in showing other states the beauty of multi-ethnic governance in Nigeria.

All these ethno-religious considerations impede the unity and progress of Nigeria. The minds of the new generation is corrupted by such considerations. In Lagos, kids are born together and mix up with eachother in playgrounds, school, churches and mosques without caring about ethnicity. It is only the grounded TRIBALISTIC social system that separates them and causes strife, suspicion and ethnic hatred as soon as they evolve into adulthood.

If we are indeed NIGERIANS, we should be seen as being Nigerian first before being Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Efik, Urhobo, Tiv etc. Lagos, as a cosmopolitan city, must lead the way.

Take your sermon to the SE first, your reasoning is against logic.

Precious money down the drain.
