Isn't it about time Nigeria moves on from this furking biafra talk?

The shit is tiring

It haff do abeg

.
Lolz. The man yakubu Gowon has lived in his made-up tales so long he now believes them to be true.

I'm very sure he firmly believes his lies about being sick after the aburi accord.

Reminds me of Christopher Nolan's Inception
.

Very shameful and ridiculous claim to say the least. I won't judge events of the civil war based on existing facts, because there are many rhetorics and it's difficult to hold on to which is true.

However, I will judge this man based on his own version of the story. You claimed it was the British who deceived Ojukwu. He was promised weapons and oil money. He declared a war on those bases.

And you are saying it's not his fault. That's a foolish thing to say. It's like blaming the devil for deceiving you into murdering your neighbour.

Eba50:
if only aburi accord was followed, if only the killings of all igbo on the north was stopped by gowon,, ojukwu wouldn't have gone to the point if taking from asaba to orhe, resulting into the war

Ojukwu declared Biafra because Gowon created states for the minority people out of the Eastern region.

Every other talk nah wash.

The truth of the thr matter is that brotain was responsible for that war. They encouraged the nationwide porgroms against the easterners and led both sides to the war. This was however evident after the aburi accord were African leaders,gowon and ojukwu reached an agreement on a restructured nigeria with biafra being assimilated back into the nation. The accord meant that regions would control their own resources have regional police. But because Britain knew that easterners would rather die that work with them, they encouraged the war so can rip nigeria off.

moscow007:
Igbo people are very kind and forgiving , if only Gowon had told the truth, asked for forgiveness.
Igbos would've forgiven him.

Now he's going straight to hell fire having embraced his demons as one.

Which useless hell fire?
The one you prepared for him or which one?
That man there is the man after God's own heart

Victim mentality as usual.

What will the Niger delta people who suffered most now say.

moscow007:

Now he's going straight to hell fire having embraced his demons as one.

Hell Fire 🔥 ke, abeg ooooooooo, forgive the guy and let him enter Heaven ooooooooo mucheche Hahaha 😂

This Obidigbo is a real character that wears igbo tinted glasses all the time and treats the truth as optional.

Bottom line is Ikemba in charge of Eastern Region was sitting on a lot of oyel. When states were created, especially those not in Aligbo, that oil suddenly disappeared and he wasn't about to let that happen.

A shame because even after the (unnecessary) war, those states were still standing.

Na lie, na you igbos tried to Lord over everybody.
That was why you igbos abandoned your Southern educated brothers under Awo and ran to make an alliance with the uneducated Islamic North under Ahmadu Bello.
If Awo and Zik had aligned together, one of them would have been PM and not Tafawa.
But Zik got into bed with the Fulani, campaigner for the removal of secession and you guys are shouting Biafra and Fulani today.
Imagine if the two most educated regions in Nigeria at independence, the South West and South East had come together, the uneducated Islamic North for dey take orders na from them, afterall na we get access to the sea, na we get oil, na we go school pass.
Helas, Zik had other ideas.
After Zik got into bed with the uneducated Islamic North against his South Western brothers, the incident that broke the camels back was the UN 11 February plebiscite which caused Zik to lose the Christian British Southern Cameroon and Ahmadu Bello to gain the Muslim British Northern Cameroon aka Gongola state on the same day.
That day Ahmadu Bello knew that despite the educational handicap of the Northerners, democracy being a game of numbers and land, he had the numbers to dominate Nigeria forever.
Also, one thing became clear to Sir Ahmadu Bello, the South Easterners hated their brothers the South Westerners more than anything and the Southerners can never ever unite and the Fulani have exploited that till today.
If you doubt me, ask AI who instituted the policy of 20 pounds compensation after the civil war?

WorkTheTalk:
The same way the fulani north is trying to lord over other regions today is the same way they did immediately after independence in 1960.
That was the genesis of the first coup that led to the civil war.

What about you giving us your own book?

Wisdomkosi:
This is true sha. Gowon wants to twist the story

Obidigbo told you the lies you want to hear.


The rest of Nigeria knew the truth.
Gowon did everything to prevent the war but Ojukwu was hellbent on having his war

shortgun:
Gowon should come clean as he will soon meet his maker.
Men in age spend their remaining days telling the truth.
He should emulate IBB who recently told the whole world truth about June 12,The 1966 coup and Kaduna Nzeogwu.

Gowon has been telling you the truth all along but because you hate the truth you rejected the truth.

What do u expect from a man that was ranked amongst the top 20 most brutal tyrants in history?

Ojukwu got deceived by the British diplomats that pushed him to start a war against his country, even the shell oil payment balance and all the ammunition promised him to kill the Nigerians wasn't given to him either, and with that anger, he arrested the shell accountant general and put him in prison until the British government made him to release the shell accountant general. At this junction, we can see that Ojukwu wasn't matured and smart enough to have led and even started Biafra in the first place. He behaved like a dunce....... Leading a whole generation of people to death over what he didn't even know much about. Unprepared, weak and scared till he led them to their deaths.....

Kog45:
Yes he will meet his maker just like Ojuckwu who wasted souls and ran away.

Another one, so many versions, Keep it coming.
Before now, it used to be Awolowo and Ojukwu had an agreement to secced, Gowon renage on Aburi accord, everyone in the east, including the minorities urged Ojukwu to secced. Now the blame has shift to the British.
Very soon they will blame the gods or maybe God.
Who then should the minorities tribes in the old eastern Nigerian blame?

You are crying bitterly...

That is why your heads are being removed in your region even without a war and your brother as President cant even help you.

Jayhome24:
You this obidigbo which truth again ae you looking for or want?

Biafra occurred, yes.

Ojukwu started it, yes.

Biafra soldiers crossed the line to SW supporting it instead of facing the North, yes.

Ojukwu went to a war nobody send him and no referedm done that permitted him to take up arms against the govt, yes.

Over 3 million innocent souls perished over what they knew nothing about, yes.

Pls wht truth again do you want to know?

You insisted on Biafra yet still want obi of all people from SE to become Nigeria president is that not a child play nwanem. I said it here if you want Biafra stay on that course, stop doing and joining Nigeria politics, tell obi to
f e c k off, stop meddling in Nigeria affairs, reject anything Nigeria, let everybody return back to village and focus on achieving biafra then you are serious nwanem obidgbo.

Oya bitter lemons start firing your insults and threatens I wan laugh small.

educatedfool:
I'm not tribalistic, but historical discussions should be balanced. It's too easy to place all the blame on Gowon while ignoring the mistakes made by Biafran leaders and the realities of the war. The Eastern Region leadership chose secession despite several attempts at negotiation, and that decision contributed to a conflict that cost countless lives on all sides.

History is rarely a story of one side being completely right and the other completely wrong. Rather than blaming Gowon alone, there should also be honest reflection on the decisions made by Biafra's leadership and how those choices affected ordinary Nigerians, including the Igbo people themselves.

Oga the topic of discussion is about Gowon his actions in Biafra not about Biafran leaders. The topic is about Gowon's role as he testified in his autobiography.

That is the same TRUTH like Fulani actually the people that called you YORUBA.

Without Fulani, what are you known as? ..Lukumi?

stuffs2002:

Mr. Obidigbo you're very wrong about this assertion that Ojukwu wasn't prepared for the war. HE WAS WELL PREPARED FOR THE WAT INFACT!

I saw a video documentary just 2 days ago...his body language in interviews and meetings with Federal Government obviously shown he's well prepared.

In one of his interviews he said "they don't know what we have for them, they'll be surprised"

The documentary is titled " SURVIVING BIAFRA"

Seriously?? The British, and not Ojukwu was the actual instigator of Biafra and the secession idea?? Really?

Hearing this for the first time oo.

Let me correct an obvious lie about Zik being in bed with Fulani by removing secession clause. In 1956 in Lancaster the British told all the delegates to that conference that as a prerequisite for independence, the borders of colonial Nigeria must not be touched. Awolowo signed that document, so did everyone else. So there was no way the British would have allowed secession clause so it was not Zik. Also the 1959 elections gave no clear majority seats needed to form a government it created a situation called a hung parliament(please read it up) and in that case a coalition between any two parties can get the majority needed to form a government. Sardauna fearing a coalition of Southern parties indicted to Sir James Robertson that the north will not go through with independence if the Southern parties for a coalition. So the British now indicated that it has be a coalition between NPC and any of the parties in the south. So why blame Zik? That lie has persisted for too long.
