Biafra attacked first because she wanted to liberate lagos. Stop twisting history.

SMH.

Ojukwu annexed the coastal minorities into his Biafra in what was a response to Gowon finally granting the minorities their own long agitated states.

Ojukwu will extend his madness to invade and occupy the Midwest and instal his stooge to declare independence from Nigeria which was just a ruse to hide Ojukwu's land grabbing intentions.

Ojukwu will then continue his madness to attack Lagos by invading the Western region.

You people can tell yourselves all the sweet lies you want but don't go thinking you can fool anyone else with your lies.

Jeezuzpick:
Of course!

From what I read above, the man was a politician.

I can say it with some certainty: most "successful" Nigeria politicians today have a string of murders in their wake.

So which politician was he working for ?

Can you indulge us by providing who you think he was working for .

Buhari4dullard:
Biafra left and Nigeria attacked Biafra .

Nigeria has nothing.
The Human resource, brains & Business are in Biafra.

If Nifgeria can survive on its own, why are they fighting Biafra leaving.

Thugs can only take u so far

You left and dragged a huge chunk of Nigeria with you .

That's what led to the civil war.

If you had gone with what was left of your Eastern region after Gowon created states for the Eastern minority people, there won't have been need to go after you.

If anything, Nigerians would have been relieved to see you fck off.

If you read the article, you would have known that he killed a man for "having the temerity to run against him in the Parliamentary Elections".

Yes I read that part.

I am only asking you to state which politician you claimed was backing him.

So what riled you was I used the term "liberation" right? Well, you should take it up with Ojukwu who used it since you failed to see I was correcting someone that Nigeria never attacked first

Ishilove:
Even on death row, he was smiling without remorse. What a psychopath

In mental health, it is part of a larger symptom generally noted by poor judgment, incongruent affect/ mood and cognitive dissonance . When one’s idea , behavior or attitude contradict their outward appearance. Mostly, it’s a sign that they are struggling to rationalize the situation or crave to subdue the distress by posing a different personality. .

OKOTOKO don tey

This was in 1958 o.

As at then, Ibadan already had a TV Station, Ikeja had an Airport, and Awolowo was already visiting the Midwest with helicopters.

Those areas have already been conquered and fully overtaken by the colonialists by then.

benuejosh:
So it is safe to say that the killings in the region started way before the recent banditry and other forms of violence in the region and country at large.

lol. I thought you are a student of history, yet you seem not to know the history of your country nigeria, especially that of your own tribe.
i suggest you study the history of Nigeria and your own tribe, then come and tell us the differences .
black leaders have always being evil and wicked to their people- major reason for the past success of African slave trade.

These killings is everywhere tho, even the westernern countries.

should we talk about the killing in the old roman empire or the british killing of the Scots and Welsh, or the German brutes

Nigeria has been very good to the back country people. They are proud citizens of this great nation and they have come a long way.

This one is comparing the ancient Roman empire to modern days event that occured in living memory of 1958.

You try.

Does the picture you see there look like being half naked?

those are the elites and politicians... so you can tell how the mid class and low class will dress... half naked and butt naked

Goddamn. Eddie Griffin didn’t lie when he said Africans were ruthless during bloodlust. He said any coward could shoot their opp from afar. An African will use a spear so he can look deep into your eyes while taking your life.

To use a bicycle chain to behead a person would require a sawing motion. She was pinned down while he seesawed both ends with his hands. Anyone capable of such should be put down like a dog.

He was convicted of beheading his own wife with a bicycle chain. He was also suspected of at least 400 other murders.

na you get poor understanding

from what you wrote here here you still concluded he was working for a politician?

He is the politician himself. English hard, I know.

Don't tell me that's the only part you understand?

datola:
In the vast British tropical colony of Nigeria, the back-country people of the Eastern Region have long been a troublesome lot to officialdom.

Mostly half-naked farmers, they take unusual delight in staging bloody campaigns against vaccinations, and in setting schools on fire. Each time, the police must come in to restore order.

Backwardness at its peak!

That's the only paragraph you could read I guess?

BlackViper:
This 1958 picture shows the notorious Nwiboko Obodo (L) head of the Odozi Obodo cult...a secret cult that inappropriately bears the name of Odozi Obodo, the “Committee of the Peacemakers"

Thanks for sharing this piece of history

Some things will never change

P.S. Whoever translated Odozi Obodo as Committee of the Peacemakers probably didn't even understand the Igbo language...

I have always said it that black people are very wicked from the time immemorial. Wickedness is integrated in their creation. Slave trade was inspired by the blacks and in fact, slavery was already in practiced before the advent of the Europeans. The black elites such as the Kings, the Chiefs, the leaders were already trading slaves within tribes, friends, families etc....before the arrival of the whites and the white Arabs....the white Arabs came first but were only limited to the Northern region through the trans sahel routes to the North Africa and Middle East. That's a brief stint of slavery but that was the beginning of international slavery, though at a lower scale....at that time, captured slaves were transported to the North through the forest been used by terrorists and Fulani herdsmen today to kidnap and kill people, they used to pack the slaves and tie them together and arrange them in horse back from the Yoruba Nation especially, from Ilorin, Oshogo, Oyo etc....all the kings of the Yorubas were so much into slave trade then due to several wars fought and whenever these wars were fought, the dividends of wars was slaves, domestic animals, and some irrelevant items... The northern warrior especially the Fulani warriors supervised by their Emirs and alfas, would come with their Calvary horses with several horses too, without riders but just horses and several loads of quran( Muslim holy book) and those Muslims perfumes from the middle East....these horses and those items were a form of exchange for the slaves and also some items like perfumes, cows, native knives, etc......all these item were used as a form of payment for the exchange for the captured slaves.....remember, those slaves were mostly Yorubas too but probably they have done something against the rules and regulations of the Kings or the communities or might be the dividends of several won wars by the Yoruba Kings......

The Islamic Arabs slave merchants would always stayed in the North and acts as the guest of the Emirs enjoying in the Palace, they hardly move in ward to search for slaves themselves, in fact, the slaves or rather market of slaves were always available waiting for them to come and be picked by the Islamic Arab slave merchants.

That's the same style in which the Europeans used to penetrate the Southern Nigeria. The only difference was that the Europeans came with Bibles, Mirrors, Alcohol, Clothing materials, tobacco pipes and the leaves, etc.......still, it was the black leaders that were supplying the Europeans slave traders with merchandise of captured men and women called slaves......

You should bury your head in shame for spewing this ru bish. Remove the log of wood in your eyes before trying to help someone to remove the sand in his eyes. Bandits has been slau.ghte.ring your people and you went mute only to come and sp.ew rubbish here.

He is not from Benue.

I thought you're an APCian lapdog, but you see this your post it's historical.
All you have been speaking us bitter facts. Carry on the truth must be spoken fearlessly and without bias

nairalanda1:
NO tribe in Africa can survive on its own.

The problem is, despite all the boasting you and yes other tribes do, no tribe in Africa can stand on its own, because most of you prefer to go to university and get a white collar job with your degree, than get a vocational and technical education and build the society of tomorrow.

That's why we are underdeveloped and we are in debt. All those boys and girls who are posing in their airconditioned offices are costing our government and economies billions of scarce forex. Yes, including the politicans and people on top, they are part of it.

But let me tell you something...any new nation that comes out of Nigeria, if it must be prosperous, a generation, maybe two would have to work very long and degrading hours, and do a lot of dirty work and manufacturing work to ensure the country becomes an industrial producer that can survive on its own if oil runs out.

Most of the Nigerians who want division or who want nigeria to remain united have their eye on the oil money. They do not have their eye on develoipment and using their raw materials to make exportable goods and services the world needs.

South Korea was behind many African nations as at 1960. I am not lying or exagerrating. It took a generation of people doing the three D's and a generatrion of white collar workers working their hands off before the country saw something like a first world life. It took them holding their education to high standards, such that kids had to start getting ready for university long before the time, before they could be an industrial nation.

It was not by fighting corruption alone. Yes, we need to do it, but it would not make us prosperous.

exactly my point. unfortunately for Nigerians, the Hausa-fulani Oligarchy used their jihadists in government to cancel history in Nigeria schools, so that most Nigerians will not know their history, and will be totally ignorant of our turbulent past full of injustice and barbarism.
sadly enough, these injustices and acts of barbarism is not stopping anytime soon, because our leaders have not changed a bit.

Abam’s crime: he had had the temerity to campaign against the chief in the last local parliamentary election.

Politics as it was then, is still the same till date.
If you read Niger state governor's statements against those trying to defect to another party. And what is happening to those he called noise makers.

Campaign to become what? Set by who?

You're a very wicked person
See as you dey press their neck 😂 😂 😂

When the Niger Delta under Adaka Boro wanted to secede, why did Ibo leaders Ojuku and Aguiyi Ironsi arrest Adaka Boro, crush their secession and kill agitators?

You went to war and lost, we own you by virtue of conquest.

Something wey Zik see and e no wan go back go East.

You know what, few of us that knows the history, that got this story and many others from our ancestors, forefathers, should continue relaying it to our children, the new generation of youngsters. History is very important in life, anybody that forget their history, the story of their foundation, is moving towards their doom......
