What kind of ridiculous arrogance? Why do people from that area seem hellbent on embarrassing Goodluck Jonathan and stirring up sentiment against him? If they are so adamant about this they should directly bomb the Northern cabal instead of constantly putting the lives of their southern neighbors at risk with their misdirected terrorist activities. Loudmouthed cowardice. And Frantz Fanon was a black from Martinique. I wonder why the French get to claim him just because he had French citizenship. He expended a great deal of energy writing against France's evil deeds. He even died fighting for Algerian liberation from France. |

Dede1: One of the Obas in Oguiso(sp) dynasty stated that one of the worse decisions he ever made was engage in territorial expansion toward south-east. It was alleged that the series of defeats the so-called Benin Empire received from Igbo warriors forced the Oba to look south-westward for his fancy.lol, source? One 1:source? Check and see who helped the white people kill the Benin Empire. OYO Kingdom(Yorubas),lol, source? who protected Benin Kingdom men and women when they were fleeing? The Nri Kingdom(Igbos),lol, source? @becomerich aka Musiwa aka wakima Utomi is not a Benin name. That is Igbo The only thing that comes close is the Bini name Utomwen, which means "long life." Don't know what Utomi means in Igbo. |

(Elechi Amadi was an Ikwerre novelist, to the best of my knowledge, and not Ijaw.) Edruezzi, why do you resort to the 2nd person perspective when talking about Nigerians? Why this apparent dissociation? It is due to self-loathing?This is not a rhetorical question. I was extremely puzzled by it. Whence came Edruezzi? Is he an Italian, one of the pillars of Western Civlization? Or does his family hail from the slums of Ajegunle? Inquiring minds want to know. I would also like to know when this ancient period was during which the Nigerian tribes were screwing each other like crazy, slaving each other, and more. You seem to be privy to exclusive information. |

The insult and offensiveness of this despicable auction is further compounded by the surprisingly large number of fellow Nigerians willing to justify and support it on the most ridiculous and erroneous grounds imaginable. I'm busy right now, but I will be back to deal with all of the lies and distortions posted on this thread out of ignorance in a while, not because I care to even discuss this with people who have not bothered to educate themselves on the circumstances of the deliberate sack and looting of Benin masterminded by one James Roberts Phillips and his superiors, but just to set the record straight for anyone who might stumble on this thread in the future. |

vicenzo:Monkey, don't you have trees to climb? Should you really be here telling people tens of thousands of Igbo free men and women were cultured by a pack of a few slaves and started to adopt and imitate the culture of a few slaves when you could be scavenging for peanuts and getting more bananas like the ape you are? Don't let me catch your subhuman self fabricating history that concerns me again. All the other nonsense you spew on this forum I let the concerned parties deal with, but when you come with this bullshit, I will knock it down with cold hard logic. Even Anioma know how Bini culture got into Aniomaland and would be disgusted at the insult that their ancestors were beholden to slaves for sources of culture and yet you are so desperate to spread your delusions that you're here unknowingly degrading them by saying a few slaves came to command some of the highest heights of multiple aspects of their culture. That's ends the whole discussion there. In the future don't make the mistake of engaging me in a debate once I correct you since you are definitely not one of the posters on this forum that's anywhere near my level intellectually. |

vicenzo:Facts concerning the idea of "Bini slaves" in Anioma land you degenerate. Those bini slaves that are trying to convert anioma to bini,what fact do they have other than propaganda,people have been giving facts on this forum to prove that anioma is igbo but they wont accept it,may be its time to give them a dose of their medicine(propaganda),What sense does this make? In an effort to disprove one set of fairy tales/lies/propaganda you concoct an even more ludicrous and unbelievable set of lies and propaganda? I'm sure in whatever obscure village you come from people might be daft enough to believe your newly found claims of Bini slaves in anioma, but nowhere outside of your little group of remedial village id-iots will that tale pass for reality. my friend, it seems like you are an edo,rather than coming here to plead on their behalfWho is pleading on their behalf you shi-t eating pig? I said don't come with fairy tales, not that they were justified in trying to claim they were not Igbo. You apparently also lack basic English comprehension, in addition to lacking any home training. Go back to scratching yourself for fleas and scouring the jungle for bananas and stop trying to read and think, you monkey. you better start making space for your bini brothers(slaves),because we will soon send them back to bini,we dont want saboteurs in our midst.Saboteurs? Don't let me catch you spewing any more of this deranged filth again. History cannot be undone. By clamiing that those who foisted Benin culture on the Anioma were slaves you're only degrading and insulting delta igbos you fool. You are saying people who were the lowest of the low among their own people (Bini) could come to anioma land and start having massive influence on the culture and dictating what names were to be used, what traditions to be observed, what ceremonies, etc. were to be performed. Shithead don't you realize you are reducing and denigrating your own people to being less cultured than slaves? But I know that couldn't even have popped into your head when you concocted your moronic Bini slaves fairytale because you're basically a monkey so it makes sense to you that a community of free men (anioma) will start taking major aspects of the culture of a few slaves among them and imposing it on all of their people. How silly can one person get? In one masterstroke of unfathomable imbecility you have reduced the Delta Igbos to lower than slaves. This is why history is debated by educated men and not market boys who occasionally get time for cyber cafes, because educated people at least have to have proved that they have the mental competence to make sense of history. |

"Southern chest beaters"? Man, what's the point of debating with someone whose main tactic is ad hominem attacks? There was no "chest beating" in my posts. There was correction. Some people are out to distort history and say that people who weren't out to be enemies with anyone were deliberate enemies and provocateurs against this or that group and such claims need to be countered.

If you can find a post where I boasted about or mocked the participants of a war in which many people died, or mocked the ethnic groups participating in such a war I would readily apologize. However, you would not find such a post. What I do mock are the theories revisionists of history who would tell me my forefathers were seeking conflict with their forbears based on Gowon supposedly moving non-Midwestern troops into the Midwest or based on one Anthony Enahoro opting for an internationally strong federalist country over an internationally weak confederation of nations or any other similar theories when there is clear cut evidence that the leadership of the Midwest region was seeking no conflict with the breakaway Eastern region. |

Onlytruth:Actually the decision to invade and take over an insignificant and irrelevant region for pure expansion was a enormous strategic blunder and instrumental in swinging momentum of the whole country against Biafra. That alone makes it significant. Now if the argument is whether or not Ojukwu meant to expand or merely to push through immediately to Lagos, I should remind those who would argue the latter that even after Banjo was recalled to Enugu after making the mistake of not pushing through immediately to Lagos, Ojukwu still kept him as head of the expeditionary force and still kept a hold on the Midwest with another governor. As for a navy, that requires quite a bit more monetary investment to do anything significant with than an army for defensive purposes with the same amount of money, that's just self-evident. And Biafra really focused on aerial operations over naval operations, a choice which may not at all have been a mistake, if a few things had gone differently. |
| Politics › Re: Why Blame The North And West For Biafra by PhysicsMHD(m): 8:33pm On Dec 20, 2010 |
Onlytruth:  What is this rubbish? When did I ever say Biafra considered the Midwest an enemy territory? Dede1 and other revisionists hold that Biafra considered the Midwest an enemy territory and that that is why they invaded and that the Midwest considered Biafra an enemy territory and that that is why they sat there like schmucks and allowed Delta Igbos in Asaba to give supplies and interact with Igbos in Biafra and that that is why the military governor of the Midwest just waltzed in and out of Biafra-an idea that clearly makes no sense.If Biafra considered Midwest an enemy territory, the expeditionary force won't go through it.Does this make even the slightest bit of sense? Think before you type. This "going through" the Midwest is at odds with what immediately commenced upon the successful takeover. If anything, Biafra would have attacked strategic MILITARY positions in the Midwest, which wasn't the case.What are you talking about? There were no attacks because there was virtually no fight and furthermore, no significant military presence to engage in any fight. The place was taken over, and quite strategically, none of this "going through." The key military positions were in fact taken over. Secondly, Biafra could have planned an occupation force for Midwest, which again didn't happen.Biafrans soldiers immediately moved to occupy Warri, Benin, Sapele, Auchi, Agenebode, Ughelli, and other cities. I'm starting to think you just like to make stuff up. In fact the term "incursion" itself says it all. Why don't historians use INVASION instead?Actually they do use invasion. I don't know where you're hearing that they don't use invasion. Let's not delve into semantics based on unfounded conjectures (the supposed absence of "invasion" as a term). |
