Thank you for your feedback. Actually, this story is false, and I appeal to you and others like you to stop telling these lies to your children, which is what perpetuates the hatred for Nigeria that a lot of people have.

As minister of finance, Chief Awolowo's ministry paid £20 only to those former Biafrans whose account records were lost, and to those who held their bank balances in Biafran Pounds.
Since they could not prove how much they had in their accounts, they got a blanket £20. That money was a gift from Nigeria. Those former Biafrans who could prove their account balances received all their monies.

The late Senator Arthur Nzeribe is an example of an Igbo who could prove his account balances. All former Biafrans who had accounts in banks outside the Eastern Region got access to all their funds after the war. The late Chief Alex Ekwueme is an example of this.

In every part of NIgeria, Igbos got their abandoned property back, except in Rivers, where their own fellow Igbo speaking peoples, who somehow say they are not Igbos, seized their property.

Also, there were cases of seized abandoned property in modern day Benue. But it did not happen elsewhere.

Chief Alex Ekwueme is again an example of this. Although he was not really friends, per se, with the recently departed Otunba Subomi Balogun, they lived close to each other. Just before the outbreak of the civil war, Alex Ekwueme left Lagos for the Eastern Region, like most prudent Igbos.

After the war, he returned to Lagos and, surprisingly, met his house in a renovated condition. While he was wondering what happened, his neighbour, Mr. Subomi Balogun, approached him and gave him his back rent in cash.

Chief Ekwueme's children are still alive and can attest to this.

Put yourself in Awolowo’s shoes. Many of the banks in the then Eastern Region had been destroyed. The accounts were in Biafran pounds. Records were lost. And even the banks deliberately destroyed records for fear of being punished for holding Biafran currencies, which had been declared a crime of economic sabotage against Nigeria by General Gowon's government.

Furthermore, after the war, Awolowo paid the Eastern states all their monies from the Federation Account from 1967-1970. He invested it and returned it to them, for which he was acknowledged by SG Ikoku, the Commissioner for Economic Development in East Central State, in the Daily Times of May 22, 1971.

Every family in former Biafra owes a debt of gratitude to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. But sadly, many parents who should have taught their children this documented history have instead filled them with hatred by regaling them with wartime propaganda.

These records are still available. Why do you still fail to read your history and feed yourself on bile from bitter people who do not rely on facts?

This is 2023. Please let us rely on facts, not gossip.

Reno on the beat

Go and verify

What they were fed by their parents was that Awolowo and Nigeria destroyed their region completely to ruin and gave them 20 pounds to start with and that OBJ that made it rain bomb and plenty of bullets on them was and his still their Messiah.

I hope they read, learn the truth and embrace it so that they will not remain as hate filled pawns in the hands of unpatriotic history revisionists.

After ranting, what next for the lying cheat? A man living with Ethiopian mistress in London after abandoning his family?



The only place Reno get power na Igbo.

Observed!

Somebobody should help thank bro Reno

Every family in the former Biafra owes thanks to Awolowo, a prominent member of an administration that blockaded them, used starvation as instrument of war, bombed them, destroyed thier towns and cities, just to uphold a 'one Nigeria' that has today proved to be a monumental disaster? This man head correct so?

Awolowo and Gowon are war criminals

Every time Reno Omokiri talks about Igbos, he forgets his brains at home.

The man is a classic example of a typical Nigerian who hates Igbos, but will never support the same Igbos to exit Nigeria as the independent state of Biafra

Real madness

So the Igbos who invaded other people's territory in the South and middle belt are not guilty of war crimes, abi?

You are not passive man!!! Go and watch how the army couple were massacred by IPOB terrorists. I still have the video. I think ISWAP and Boko Haram need to learn how to be savage in killing people from IPOB.

I'm igbo and I have already knew this story was purely true. Awolowo is a great man.

You are shifting the basis of Reno's argument. What he did here is to debunk the lies that have pervaded Igbo land that Awolowo gave 20 pounds to them irrespective of their bank balance

The mugs will never blame Ojukwu who threw them headlong into a war he knew he would never win, and then bolted out of the country to save himself when he knew the game was up. The mentality of these people will never cease to amuse me.

Read? How? Did Reno post anything about "Yakubu Mahmud has been caught on camera on his knees begging Obi and asking for forgiveness.. "? Sensible posts are not for them, but any post that will feed their unintelligent emotions.

Violence is all you ipob people know. So for saying the bitter truth you want to behead Reno like you beheaded your lawmakers, religious leaders and murdered the husband of Dora akunyili abi

Someone is teaching you history lessons for free. Open your one cell brain and be enlightened

No be everything be gra gra

Reno just cannot get over the fact that he can never find himself in the corridors of power ever again. To him, it was like a dream! Omashe o.
