Civil war didn’t start until the demented Ojukwukwu declared Biafra and attacked Nigeria soil!

Yo, I came across your post calling for the wiping out of Igbos.

That was wrong, man, very wrong. Let's not let bitterness get the better of ourselves

TO your point, Gowon kicked off the war, and he was bound to do so because at the end of the day, as head of state it was his duty to preserve our country's unity.

The Civil War victory is the only reason why the country is still existing. That is a big achievement for Gowon, and rightly so too. If you think it is easy to prosecute a war and win, then I will like to have a taste of what you are drinking.

a war against ur own people is not a achievement or something to make noise about.

it shows the country made no genuine effort for reconciliation like civil climes do even for unfair wars against other nations talkless of its own people.

only Nigeria gloats about its own civil wars in a shameless and irresponsible manners.

Igbhoho offense was because of the agitating for his people as against fulani herdsmen.
Kanu was on the mandate of Biafra with hate speech and calling buhari a cloned person. This could have thrown the nation to unnecessary disarray.
Igboho had a peaceful protest while the igbos were destructive.
phorget:



So what part of ”Nigeria soil” did Nnamdi Kanu attacked that warranted his incarceration?
This is simple,if you dont want someone then its alright if you'll be man enough to let them leave.
When Igboho was agitating for a Yoruba nation what part of Nigeria soil did he attacked?


You can choose to rewrite the whole history but we actually know how it all played out.

Well, a lot of countries gloat about their own civil wars...starting with the USA and Rossiya, and so on...

It's a pity that most people on this Nigerian forum are dumb.
I really can't understand why everything has to be along tribal and religious lines.
Very wretched way of life. undecided

Some of it is catching cruise, some of it is childish behaviour, some of it is 'ON the internet I must win every argument', some of it is real live bigotry of those that have never left their father's village.

It was a war against secessionists, not against our people. They were Biafrans for as long as the war lasted.





Whether you like it or not, it is an important part of our national history.

Thank God sensible Igbos are finally telling the foolish ones aming to stop being foolish finally instead of allowing them gaslight anyone with contrary opinion.



Funny enough, the sensible Igbos have always called out their senseless peers. But it's the remainder tribes that fail to call out theirs against Igbos. When Buhari won, we celebrated and said Igbos would suffer, they didn't. NBA stats in 2022 showed they had the lowest child poverty rate, lowest out of school children, the lowest poverty rate in total, the second most developed region in terms of HDI, the wealthiest Nigerian spread during the Buhari tenure. Tinubu has come with his hardship, we celebrated Muslim tickets against them, and today the Muslims and Yorubas are protesting and they've refused to join in. Only the southeast, I repeat only the southeast had none of its cities, whether major or minor, join the protest. They simply woke up and went on their daily activities and watched the news as you all exposed your dirty linings to them.

Best advice

That's the worst advice ever. Remember that people who criticized Buhari was called wailers but today the same APC are telling us the evils of Buhari. If they had worked on those criticisms maybe things wouldn't have bn this bad.

As a leader, don't ever ignore constructive criticism.

If someone says that you're smelling, instead of ignoring it, check if it's true and do something about it.

Who were those that said Igbo will suffer because Buhari won ?! Give me two names please.

So now we agree that Gowon started the civil war. Not Ojukwu. He finally came clean..

Anyway, the population of his tribe has continue to reduce with mass fulani killings, while those he sought to extinguish keep growing in leaps and bounds. He remains alive to witness it. That's my greatest satisfaction. grin

That's his penance and recompense.

Where did Gowon say he started the civil war?

Then what did he fought for? Backwardness and darkness? If you don't have what to say just go and sleep
most of the good roads, light, houses, army barracks and lastly I love the way he fought the enemies of Nigeria and defeated them all...

See who is talking! You started the war not because there wasn't any other way to settle the matter but you chose to fight in order to defend British interest in Nigeria's rising oil and gas industry. Only those who don't know history will praise you. Those who knows the motive of your fight knows that you were nothing but a British puppet.

If you wanna know the part of nigeria, go to google..

When Adaka boro declared ND region, he never attacked Nigeria soil and Nigeria didn’t even see him! Guess what? It was the both Ironsi & Ojukwu that was ensuring boro didn’t succeed!

If Ojukwu had declared Biafra without attacking Nigeria, Nigeria wouldn’t even see him at all!

Gowon, being the head of state could say whatever. If I was a head of state and you stupidly attacked my soil, I’ll command my troops to go after your soil which will bring up a war - this is what Gowon is saying!

Nigeria didn’t just wake up to start attacking Biafra..

The eediot even has the effrontery to start marching towards Lagos to capture the west
It wasn't until they saw him overrunning Ore Town that Yoruba's woke up and stopped an drove them back till they were pursued into Enugu .

“At least, if I remembered, I was told that I was too slow, fighting the war and that probably Nigeria would not make it and that we should seek for discussion. Well, did we do it or not? They probably did not know the problem there on the ground there.

Calling someone a clone person now mean ”grabbing Nigeria soil?” How many people did Jonathan imprisoned despite numerous people calling him derogatory names and obviously wishing him death by building a casket to his name?
