eighTHREAD:
did you read my post at all? Not only SW and the north blame GEJ but also the western world except ibos. Are ibos the only right thinking people on earth?
so who gave the western world credence? The same west that sold arms to the FG during the war?? Did u know that the russians met with ojukwu so as to sell arms to biafra in exchange for oil?? He refused and the russians sold to Nigeria......the igbos aren't the only right thinking people on earth......the question you should ask is why are the igbos doing what they are doing.....I am igbo,I was born here in the SW I schooled here till my university days...so I know about the SW....do you know anything about the igbos apart from what you read from news papers or what your folks told you..?? If you detest a people,let be for something reasonable.....a friend who is yoruba married an igbo lady and the father was against it....why? For no reason.....he couldn't even tell his son why he hates igbos......every tribe has their issues.....including igbos....but most of you judge igbos based on interactions with either alabaa or ladipo boys.....if an igbo judges the whole yoruba based on the area boys he sees wouldn't that be myopic??

There are three important things that are affecting Nigeria as a nation which I doubt we can solve......1.Tribalism 2.Religion 3.Corruption......buhari probably...might solve no 3.....according to his APC peeps.....but what about the remaining 2??

Buhari cannot solve anything. For ethnicity and religion, he has a fare share of ethnic and religioud bygotism!

As for fighting corruption, no comment. Just know that with his fellowship of the likes of Tinubu, Atiku, Amechi, etc, corruption must have a new defition!

the war taught the igbos so many lessons that they aare implementing today......while the SW dude haven't learnt much.....abiola,jakande,awo,fela,diya, e.t.c.......I hope they don't learn the hard way sha.....cause they would be on their own too......the same SS that was against the igbos now understand what's up.......hope it won't be too late for some...

Noblezone always gets his wish. First, he lamented about the unfairness of the unity schools cut off marks to southern states, and sometime ago, he got his wish when Agbakoba took up the case.


Now he is dissecting the hypocrisy of the Arewa-Odua gang up, let's hope that this leads to our( Ndiigbo) people becoming wiser.

Jonathan is being blamed for boko haram simply because he confessed with his own mouth that he has boko haram members in his personal government & instead of prosecuting the he wanted to purchase ammunition with Orishajafor's jet for them to continue killing the northerners

2. Gen Azzazi the NSA appointed by Jonathan who is also from Bayelsa like GEJ. Confess on channels TV tag PDP/ GEJ is boko haram

3. Jerry Gana the money who bailed boko haram first leader Mohammed Yusuf from prison over 12 time contributed 5 billion to Jonathan's campaign fund.

4. Lawan Kaita who said he would make the country ungovernable his in the PDP

5. PDP/ GEJ chairman declare that boko haram is fighting for justice

6. Aliyu Ndume who was caught informing boko haram to kill the Chief Justice if the federation is in the PDP. Voice record provided by MTN. Yet GEJ want to sweep it under the carpet

7. Shagari never borrowed for the war n the army never complain about being ill equipped

8. Boko haram kingpin Ali Modu sherif is Jonathan's best friend

There are just too many fact linking GEJ to boko haram but you chose to delude yourself by not recognising them

Re: Biafra: Was Gowon Clueless? by Nobody: 12:09am On Jan 02, 2015
Vote GEJ

The funny thing is that the hausa\fulani whom the igbos wanted to seperate from aren't even talking as much as their brothers in the SW..........them come carry am for head.......now the same thing is repeating it self again.......buhari and osibanjo.....and the same SW is preaching the gospel like as if the presidency has been zoned to them......if eventually buhari wins and decided to set the country ablaze,they would as usual try to look for who to blame.....the igbo's
You quietly want to distort history, let me help you.

1960: When no party had the required majority to form a government, who partnered with NPC? .....................Answer: The Ibo NCNC.
1963: When NPC didn't have the required majority to form a government, who partnered with NPC? .................Answer: The Ibo NCNC.
1979: When NPN didn't have the required majority in the National Assembly, who aligned with them? ...............Answer: The Ibo NPP.
1983: When NPN didn't have the required majority in the National Assembly, who aligned with them? ...............Answer: The Ibo NPP.
1999: When Northern elites in PDP presented OBJ, who aligned with the North to get him elected? ...................Answer: The Ibos.
2007: When PDP presented Yar'adua a man that IMPLEMENTED FULL SHARIA, who aligned to get him elected? ...Answer The Ibos (Note: Yar'adua defeated a certain Ojukwu in every single South East state!)

So pardon me if the facts clearly show that in the history of Nigeria, the Ibos have aligned more with the Northerners than they have with the SW. So please let the facts speak for itself.

which facts? The only alliance the igbos had which Northerners was during azikiwes battle with awolowo in the SW......you talk as if the igbos "carried" on their head the way tinubi and co are doing.......we are talking of serious alliances and you are quoting alliances in the national assembly you are very funny.......1999 everybody voted for obasanjo with the exclusion of his home town.....how's it the business of igbo people? After all he was compensation for abiola......the same goes with yaradua.....am still trying to understand your definition of alliance.......and what has not voting ojukwu got to do with igbos aligning with the hausas? Didn't abiola truncate awolowos dream of being president does that mean the yorubas aligned with shagari the north ..?? Please define your definition of alliance.....I don't think those period,the igbos came out like they are doing now to align with the SS......
