FreeIgboho:Winning a war that has not ended is different from winning a war that has ended, then for your separation analysis, you don't know the Igbos that's why you talk this way, Igbos will keep going to other regions to make money, that is Igbo for you, so using that as a yardstick for separation is not logical for an Igbo man. Except the people there become hostile then we might leave, separation is different from repatriation, we don't want to be Nigerians, that is the major point, are Nigerians not living in almost every country of the world, are Yorubas not plenty in UK who are not British citizens? So why can't Igbos be plenty in Nigeria if they separate and have their own country? Why must Igbos case be treated differently by you people? Don't you see there is a problem with you people and your type of ideology? You are equally free to come settle in Biafra land, we don't just want to share government and citizenship with you people, is that too much to ask for? |

Olamilekan1555:Look at the northerner or westerner claiming eastern oil. By the time the world goes green, will you still continue with your one nigeria? You think we dont have people from the niger delta who wants the cowtry to be balkanized. Many of you think it is only the igbos. I am from rivers and i live among my igbo brothers and sisters. Una eyes go clear one day. You guys should continue your backwardness. The ship of the east has long sailed. |

bobogogo:Obviously you are not one of the people forced to sit at home on Mondays by IPOB. Or even killed by one of them or your family members. |

Brendaniel:Ok, I see you are not very smart so I'll be patient with you Biafra was winning the war at the beginning- they captured the entire Midwest and appointed a governor for them and were on their way to Lagos. You keep saying "you don't know Igbos" but can't mention one thing Igbos did! North and South are not Europe. They're not even South Africa. Any Igbo who dared remain there would be a treated as 10th class citizen, if not mysteriously disappereared! |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by bobogogo: 5:18pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
PigTormentor:Now i know you are a northerner. wHen did you start caring for the igbos? HAhahaha... You think the world does not know about the false flag operations in the eastern part of nigeria. If your shameless, notorious and disgraced cowtry can recruit international terrorists into its armed forces, what stops them from committing the crimes that you are accusing ipob of. Una no get sence. the world don see una finish. |

bobogogo:Olodo, I'm from Lagos state, an indigenous son of the soil. Pls get off my land and stop crying on my post. All you do is blame others for your problems in life. A flase flag? Just listen to this one.pls stop clowning 🤡 Bye |

FreeIgboho:So Biafra were winning the war right, how were they supposed to completely win the war and end it? See, you don't know the Igbos, don't just worry yourself about me mentioning anything because if by now you don't know the Igbos after living with them this long then I doubt telling you may help you... That's why I said you don't know the Igbos... Britain who kept referring to the Igbos as rebellious during colonial times, you think they just used that word for fun? They knew what their eyes saw with trying to subdue and control the Igbos You don't know the Igbos... They were the only tribe the British called rebellious in Nigeria, go and read many manuscripts of the colonial times in Nigeria... You don't know the Igbos even after staying so long with them, one of the major reason they are hated by the Islamic north and the Tribal south west... You don't know the Igbos...

Brendaniel:You are indeed not too smart. Even the screenshot you posted is contradictory - they had high rates of suicide and that explained why they were so numerous amongst the enslaved! You are stuck on some mythical "Igbos" as perceived by one Briton, when ALL you've been told to do is NAME ONE THING IGBOS HAVE DONE in modern times to justify all this chest beating. If you had said "See how they fought to the last man like Spartans", but no, they surrendered and their leader ran away. OR "see how they died to free MNK" but no they killing themselves and sitting at home, and destroying their own homeland! NAME ONE THING! **Biafra - they could have pushed on to Lagos and captured Lagos and Gowon because Nigerian Army were not yet in war mode - like Castro, Charles Taylor, Syrian rebels, and countless others |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by Brendaniel: 6:34pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
FreeIgboho: You are making me laugh here because if by now you don't know the Igbos and with the things I have shown you then even if I list more, how do you convince me now that you will know?I'm telling you You don't know the Igbos |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by FreeIgboho: 6:38pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
Brendaniel:See? You have NOTHING Biafra - they could have pushed on to Lagos and captured Lagos and Gowon because Nigerian Army was not yet in war mode - like Castro, Charles Taylor, Syrian rebels, and many other rebel groups have done |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by Brendaniel: 6:44pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
FreeIgboho:No, I have something but you can't see it because you don't want to, on Biafra war, that was what the Igbos did and didn't succeed at the time... |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by FreeIgboho: 6:52pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
Brendaniel:Nope. See the reason below. And by the way, what kind of people appoints a foreigner to be head of their army and lead invasion of his own homeland with all the possible casualties of his own people? Were there no qualified Biafrans at all? Not very wise people!

FreeIgboho:I'm not Ojukwu and the information you posted there is not detailed enough. |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by FreeIgboho: 6:59pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
Brendaniel:So quit the chest beating. There is no basis for it. The information I posted is exactly the cause if the DELAY that gave time for 1) Nigerian army to mobilize 2) Yoruba to fully join the war 3) Midwesterners to turn against Biafra because of cruelty and maltreatment from occupying Biafran soldiers |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by Brendaniel: 7:06pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
FreeIgboho:I am not here to argue about the Biafran war but just let you know that the Igbos do not tolerate oppression, yes we might be quiet now for certain reasons but does not mean we tolerate oppression, that a lion is not roaring at certain times does not mean it is weak or subdued. |

FreeIgboho:They called it a liberation army and Colonel Banjo agreed to lead it. He chickened out when he encountered resistance in the Midwest and realized people in the west would resist too then he also did not agree with Colonel Ojukwu on some issues leading to the delay. Maybe if he had not agreed to lead the army the Biafrans would not have moved their troops westward |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by FreeIgboho: 7:17pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
Brendaniel:Cut the bullshit. There is the Igbos you have in your head then there are the Igbos in reality who have done NOTHING! |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by FreeIgboho: 7:20pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
lawani:Pure nonsense. Go and read history of Biafran war |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by Brendaniel: 7:22pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
FreeIgboho:Like I said you don't know the Igbos... |

Anguldi:🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The elder statesman omitted the part where Awolowo wanted a secession clause in our constitution and Azikiwe and the North fought tooth and nail to stop it. |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by aswani(m): 7:28pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
Predictor3:Not the North, Ahmadu Bello agreed With Awo who proposed it, Owelle was the one that vetoed it. Also Ikemba nabbed Adaka boro who wanted to secede the delta from the Federation. Now Ndigbo are all for secession, see life. |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by FreeIgboho: 7:31pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
Brendaniel:😅🤣 |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by Brendaniel: 7:37pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
FreeIgboho:If that's what speaking the truth means to you, that's your problem not mine... |
| Re: How British Colonial Policies Entrenched Lifelong Discrimination Against Igbos by Predictor3: 9:16pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
aswani:Thank you. So why do ibos wail the loudest today about secession? Whatever you sow in life you shall reap. I'm sure that low budget elder statesman who wrote the beautiful piece about ibo marginalisation knows these stories but chose to misinform his fellow ibos |

Brendaniel:I have answered that Osinbajo cannot exclude himself from the Buhari Government and definitely share in the blame. When you are a member of a team, you all share in the victory and disgrace of the team. |

You are making me laugh here because if by now you don't know the Igbos and with the things I have shown you then even if I list more, how do you convince me now that you will know?
