| Re: Apologize For 1967 Asaba Massacre — Asagba Of Asaba To Tinubu by Chucks13: 4:45pm On Oct 11, 2025 |
observanc1:That was Japan and I don't bloody care ok. Since your so called Asagba couldn't have the guts to asked obj to apologized after spending 8 years in power then sorry Tinubu will never apologize. Since your Asagba couldn't tell Gej to apologize spending 6 years In power then Tinubu will never apologize. Since your Asagba couldn't be man enough to dare Buhari to apologise sorry Tinubu will never and ever apologise so do your worst. |

shortgun:Then wait till the Agulu guy man becomes President to tender the unreserved apology. I believed OBJ was both military and civilian president as well as Buhari but those calling for apology were sleeping then. Even GEJ from same Niger Delta was once a president for several years. |

gidgiddy:Emeka Ojukwu caused a needless and senseless war and you blame Murtala Mohammed for defending and keeping Nigeria one. Ojukwu is to be blamed for that civil war and the killings but you will never accept the truth just because Ojukwu is Igbo like you |
| Re: Apologize For 1967 Asaba Massacre — Asagba Of Asaba To Tinubu by gidgiddy: 7:26pm On Oct 11, 2025 |
stuffs2002:Ojukwu didn't cause any war, he went to Aburi, Ghana, to prevent war. Unfortunately, your federal government led by Gowon chose not to implement the signed agreement, which led to war But beyond that, Asaba, was not in Biafra. So, one wonders the motivation your Nigerian Army had to massacre Asaba people, other than the fact that they are Igbo people And the man that led the massacre, Murtala Mohammed, was put on the N20 note |

gidgiddy:You are Igbo so I don't expect you see the fault of a fellow Igbo. You blame everyone for the war except Ojukwu the war criminal himself just because he is Igbo. Ojukwu is 100% responsible for the killings of this people and the destruction of his region but you will blame Gowon, Awolowo, Murtala Mohammed etc except the real culprit. The only reason Igbos went to war was because they fell out of rulership of Nigeria. Ojukwu was so selfish, greedy and power hungry that he failed to reason to every of Gowon's enteritis. Gowon as military head of state did not need to go to Aburi to sign any accord with Ojukwu but he humbled himself and went just to keep peace. Ojukwu on the other hand had already made up his mind to go to war even before going to Aburi. Even in Aburi, Gowon was the reasonable one with smiles and friendliness while Ojukwu was very unreasonable with silly demands and he refused to be friendly with Gown in Aburi. Even after the Aburi meeting and the accord had been signed, Ojukwu quickly rushed to Nigeria to make announcement ahead of Gowon which was not meant to be so. Gowon as the most senior and head of state was the one to make the announcement of the agreement reached. Ojukwu in his announcement, started spinning all sorts of lies that were not agreed to even before Gowon got back to Nigeria and that caused so much confusion and distrust and eventually culminated into a very silly and needless war. Murtala Muhammed was a war hero that fought to keep Nigeria one and Igbos should be grateful to him for keeping you guys in Nigeria as you people are the biggest beneficiary of one Nigeria. Murtala Muhammed was an army officer doing his job in serving his fatherland and I don't know way you expect him to fold his arms while Biafran soldiers run amok and kill everyone in Nigeria. Murtala Muhammed defended his country and we are very very proud of him. We know you guys like creating and believing your own lies but keep it to yourself in your region because the rest of Nigeria know the truth |

Coldspice:I'm not from Asaba or even from that part of Nigeria, but it's distasteful and disrespect of you to say a monarch was deaf and dumb, so uncouth. You can't even say that about your family head not to talk of the head of a people and the place that hosts a state's capital. Mind you this Asagba is new on the throne and is bringing his innovations and ideas. Then to extend it to other tribes from the Niger Delta? I pray for your healing. Anyway I'm done having this back and forth with you or your kit and kin |

| Re: Apologize For 1967 Asaba Massacre — Asagba Of Asaba To Tinubu by gidgiddy: 12:23am On Oct 12, 2025 |
stuffs2002:You guys are laughable. You think the war was about who announced the Aburi Accord first between Gowon and Ojukwu? It was already signed, no matter who announced it. But when they returned to Nigeria, Gowon went back on what he signed The basic thing about Nigeria is the country was a mistake. The British should not have brought us together in 1914. All it has caused is fighting, civil war, killing our selves in the millions, poverty capital of the world, 8th most insecure country on earth. Nigeria is pointless We should all agree to end this disastrous British colonial creation called Nigeria, every go their own way and develop according to their talent |

What Nigerians fails to realized is that those early coups during period Nigeria got independence were political, all politics. It was political game. The only downside is that they were executed in a cold brutal manner But Nigerians then with their low IQ allowed it get to them, bitterness, hatred, revenge began , they started killing each other including innocent people this degenerated into the very bloody civil war. Since then Nigeria has not recovered, Nigerians still harbour deeply rooted passionate hatred for each other. Children from birth are raised to hate other ethnic groups because of the body political games that happened between politicians during that period (1965 to 1971) |

Chucks13:PBAT is the C-in-C & in the best position to do so currently. If the rest overlooked the issue, it's not late to do the right. If MKO was recognized for winning the June 12 elections of 1993, then the FG should apologize for the massacre & admit that in war anything goes. As par compensation, all Nigerians are under distress - insurgency, banditry, kidnappings etc. |

loffyloffy:Bro stop it It is not good for your health. Different leaders have different vision, priority, pain points, and so on. This particular one was an astute lawyer, a successful one in the legal profession rose to the echelon of career. He also a professor. So he must have studied history and even taught history in the University and got to find out about this gruesome inhumane act perpetrated by the army at the time. They are supposed to fight their fellow soldiers who are with gun on the other side man to man. But they turned on armless civilians who were even on their side. These civilians were in support of the Nigeria army or neutral (innocent civilians). The Nigerian army still did what they did. Maybe he did what he did because Kaduna Nzeogwu was from around that area. So in his mind he is revenging. Today if someone says they are from Delta state na automatic passionate hatred that person go dey receive , even though Delta state contribute significantly to the country purse from the crude oil and gas from Delta state. |

Saturnalia:This is the way you guys behave. See those religious riots in the core northern cities in the 2000s, when somebody will draw cartoon in far away Europe then these certain religious zealots (terrorists) in Northern Nigeria will start killing innocent people just like that and start burning religious centers. Now the madness has grown to become bokoharam. Now their moles, lieutenants, sympathizers in the Nigeria Armed Forces are now submitting and handing over the Nigerian Armed forces arms, ammunition, armaments like drones, RPGs, to these terrorist. You will not target the individual that is the cause of your anger. Those coups were politics, strictly political game but the problem is that it was bloody and fatal. So why not focus on Ifeajuna and Kaduna Nzeogwu and kee them. Instead people went on rampage and started killing innocent people from certain parts of the country in what was known as progroms. It was barbaric like what happened in Rwanda t The progroms in the North is what moved Ojukwu to declare the secession of his people from Nigeria. |

shortgun:So why just bringing it up now under Tinubu government? There is definitely a sinister motive in your demand. You just suddenly woke up and remember you need to honour your deads and demand for apology. Hipocrisy and mischief!! |
