[s]what a disgusting crap of shit!!!

Old man, go and celebrate the shameful deeds you've done in ur youth. God will judge you!!!

And if what you said is right.........then you would know that seccession cannot never lead to war except under a tyrant ruler.
And you very well know that the eastern government were not even prepared for any war. The decision to secceed was born out of a distress call by people humiliated and killed. You Gowon knew that there is no way the eastern govt can wage war and win because they did not secceed with any nigerian armoury nor did they acquire foreign armoury against any eventualities. You gowon knew that the easterners believed in live and lets live. So you, as the young tyrant ruler, saw the opportunity to crush them in ur pompous attitude by initiating your 'police action'.




God will certainly judge you, Old man.[/s]

How many people will God Judge?

Ojukwu never declared any war. He announced Biafra's secession and Gowon attacked.


Helloooo, Biafra was supported by foreign powers like France, Brazil and others. So you should know Ojukwu did not fight it alone. It was because US and UK supported Nigeria and told France to back out that was why they reduced their support. Having said all that, it was a war How can you blame Gowon for fighting a war Ojukwu declared? say something about that.

Gowon's responsibility was to keep Nigeria united. It is the same will all leaders.

France and others backed off when they realized Ojukwu had no bargaining chip. They realized his claim to oil was fraudulent as the oil belonged to other people, not the Igbo.

You are a disgrace! Will you never grow old? Don't you know that oldage is a blessing?

Gowon had every right to be proud of what he did for Nigeria.

He is a Nigerian hero who made sure that Nigeria remained one.

Unlike Gowon, your traitor ojukwu led his people to war but abandoned them and ran away to Ivory Coast.

Gowon saw to the rehabilitation of ibos and made it possible for them to regain their properties all over Nigeria.

Yet, ibos like you continue to deny being Nigerians but biafrans!

Tell me, how can Nigerians allow a biafran to be president of Nigeria? Pipe dream!

Such hero! Running away to Cote d'Ivoire and leaving his people in the lurch. Well, a people deserves its hero.

Ojukwu left Biafra 2 days before the war ended on the advice his commanders that they could no longer hold out. What would have been the point of him staying to be slaughtered over a War that was already lost? If he had stayed back and was slaughtered, it would have been people like you who would have called him a fool for not escaping.

Bros I understand your pain for speaking like that. But when you are calm you need to read and ask objective people about the war. The war was declared and the first shot was taken by Biafra. Not until when Ojukwu started taking over other places from the east up to Bendel did they wage a resistant in the west. Stop blaming Gowon for a war Ojukwu declared. Please for once have you sat down to query why in the middle of the heat 'OJUKWU LIED TO HIS IGBO BROTHERS THAT HE WAS GOING TO LOOK FOR INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT BUT RATHER PACKED HIS BELONGINGS WITH HIS CHILDREN AND ESCAPED TO IVORY COAST' living innocent igbos to their fate. Let us face the truth and speak it at all times. I'll prefer if you don't insult in your reply cos I did not insult you.

Abeg, tell them! Sometimes, I wonder which kind of 'historical accounts' are being peddled on NL. Is the the truth as witnessed by people who lived through the war years, or the propaganda as told to them by their forbears?

Only God knows.... undecided

Of all the atrocities committed against the ibos by ojukwu was that of starvation which killed millions of hapless biafrans that he betrayed in absconding from the war. What cowardly deeds!

It is wrong to conclude that the civil war broke out following the failure of the Aburi Accord but was the direct result of a unilateral decision of independence for Eastern Nigeria.

Liar! He failed to state that his breach of the Aburi Accord resulted into war!
If you had stopped the wanton massacre of the Igbos in the north, Igbos wouldn't have thought of seceding in the first place! It's on record!

He acknowledged that many people died of hunger and diseases during the period but maintained that the Federal Government ensured that starvation was not used as a weapon of war.

Liar! You and your government with the help of Awolowo (who had evil hatred for Igbos) orchestrated the use of hunger as a weapon without caring about women and children! It's also on record!

Gen. Yakubu Gowon (rtd), said on Wednesday that an Igbo president would help heal the civil war wounds

He said that because he was in Igboland. What stopped him from saying it since, if he believed in it?

Gowon, shove your “No Victor, No Vanquished" up your old stinky ab*oki as*s, and may you die a painful death!

Doesn't matter if he said he was going to visit the 'cookie monster', the important thing is that he would have been wasted away for nothing if he had stayed back. To the best of my knowledge, and I have read a lot books about Biafra, I don't recall Ojukwu ever ordering the execution any body. Least of all, the same Biafran Soldiers fighting for him. If you want to accuse anyone about people that died in the war, blame Gowon. He was the one brought war to the peaceful East and Ojukwu had the moral duty to fight to protect his people.

HiGod:



1). Yorubas ll never vote for these ingrates

2). Hausas/Kanuris/Fulanis-Northerners hate Igbos like a piece of poo and if u doubt me, go on their Facebook page and their vituperations against Igbos. However, Igbos started and deserve it.

3). Half of North central might vote in favour of Igbo candidate and d remaining 50% would definitely go d other way.

4). South South vote ll be 60/40 in favour if Igbos or 50/50.

Igbo can never become a president of a United Nigeria unless through their usual coup or back door.


All these your fake figures hold no water until you show us a copy of the Research you conducted. What statistical modality did you use in achieving these result. Chi-square? Correlation or Student t-test. Was your study free from intra-personal bias?. We need statistical evidence not figures thrown around like amala balls. BTW I'm yoruba.

I am yoruba and i know that their won't be another yoruba President without an Igbo Presudent taking his right turn at the Presidency. The North trust the Igbos than they trust our th.ief.nubus. Of course when the presidency comes down south again, our greedy selfish yoruba leaders like thie.fnubu will ask for it but the recent happenings(Oodua Apc vs Arewa Apc) has shown that the north won't let the SW have it before the South East does.

It is the SE turn after Buhari. We know that the SE+SS +MB+North=Igbo presidency. SE and SS will NEVER VOTE A yoruba CANDIDATE AGAIN.
