Many people from here don't care about this n how it affects people but they all care about oyo all of a sudden

Ijele have made a million videos of how people aren't happy about this and it affect their everyday life but people from their don't care since it's not oyo or Lagos or Ibadan.


Hospitals and other emergency services won't open today and they really don't care, let it happen for 5 minutes in Lagos and people from here will want to turn the world upside down

The hypocrisy is too loud
You are a heartless hypocrite. So you're comparing the kidnap of school kids regardless of region to a mere sit at home?

I think that needs to be corrected. As we all know, whenever a celebration falls on a weekend, the public holiday is shifted to the next working day. By that logic, the sit-at-home should be moved to Tuesday, since Mondays have already been permanently reserved for the regular sit-at-home exercise.
Cry your cry. When 30th May falls during the week they observed it.

Good for them. It actually goes to show how much other Nigerians needed to be cautious with these people

The hypocrisy is too loud
What is this stewpid comment even saying? This sit at home was in solidarity to the millions who died during the Biafra war. The igbos still remember and mourn their dead, The SW however are not exactly concerned about their dead and kids still in kidnappers den.

The SE people don't know how to cover evil, they speak against it no matter who is affected, whether it's Yoruba, Hausa, Igala etc, the Igbos will speak against that evil. But SW people will rather cover and to some extent protect evil just to not bring criticism to One man.

It was sn honour to the resilient people that fought against a blood thirsty north Nigerian Army in 1967

The war was a genocide on the Igbo people
They wanted to wipe out kids. Children and women. It was not a war.

War is when soldiers fight each other
Genocide is when you leave soldiers and start killing ordinary common civilians..

A War journalist Fredrick Forsyth recounts when he and Biafra soldiers were patrolling Onitsha when they came across 300 piles of dead bodies of members of Apostolic church layed on the road.
He said the Biafran soldiers were so overwhelmed at the sight that it took only him and 2 brave soldiers to lift the bodies from morning and they finished in evening
He said the victims were Apostolic church members that when they came into the church the ordered everyone out women children boys with hands tied to their back and shot them💥💥 close range execution.
About 300 people
There were so many war crimes going on
That is when Biafrain soldiers realized these northern army was busy wiping out civilian population than to fave them one and one.

The Nigerian Air force which was controlled by Egyptian pilots would avoid areas that had Biafran soldiers with machine gun. For fear of getting shot down.
So what they sis instead was to drop bombs in churches, hospitals or halls were there were crowds of civilians gathered for shelter.

It was nothing but genocide

Biafran soldier had low ammunition, rusty guns, hand made guns.
Biafrain soldiers had a song they sing

" If I die in battle
Give my gun to the next Igbo man
Give my uniform to the next Igbo man
Give my boots to the next Igbo man
To protect our land with our lives.
That is to show you they had low uniforms and where given uniform and guns of their fellow dead soldiers to continue the fight.

Due to low ammunition, Biafriqns had a rule called "One Bullet One Soldier"
Meaning if you must shoot , that bullet must kill the soldier or else you wasted bullet given to you. Imagine running out of bullets.

Meanwhile UK loaded the Nigerian Army with so much ammunition to last a life time.

UPON ALL ODDS AGAINST THEM
THEY HELD THE NIGERIAN ARMY FOR 3 YRS

How on earth the Igbos were able to pull that of was something out of a miracle.


Hear it from the man himself
Mr Fredrick Forsyth
Shey you will say this one too na A.I??

The people from SW will be pained at this.They love usore than we've ourselves
They suddenly love Nigeria , the same Nigeria they were bombing and campaign for sanctions against during abacha regime , it us all because they have been in power mostly since 1999 except for GEJ so it is all about power same reason for the Fulani love for Nigeria, they have benefited most from it followed by the Yorubas

They have every right to honour their dead relatives who sacrificed their lives.

Your first prayer should be not to fall prey to kidnappers before then or become a victim of the vices that have taken hold of the country. Once you clear that hurdle it is certain you will vote for him grin

The problems of an ìgbo man is business and money. They don't have time to frolick about, causing chaos and constituting nuisance to the larger society.

So what is your problem, Ogbomosho man? You don't want to learn business and money? Or do you want to be constituting nuisance on Nairaland?
