sebali:all tribes in nigeria will always do the same expect we begin to see people as individual human beings who are responsible alone for every action they take. And as a human being i stand to tell you that the nigeria government must accept that a wrong was done to the biafra people, tender an apology and compensate them thus. With a referrandum held to discuss our continued existence together. And my hope is that we agree at a stand of true federalism. 3 Likes |

I am not tribalistic,i have lots of igbo friends who i love very much but i keep wondering what their leaders have done for them.Akpabio was a governor for 8 years,what are the impacts he made in the lives of those he governed.They keep talking about lagos being more developed but for years lagos has been working with little or no help from the FG.The moment you begin to question your immediate leaders is when you'll get dividends of democracy.i am not saying you shouldn't go to biafra but with the set of leaders and politicians representing you now,you'll be surprised if at the end of the day there's no difference between biafra and Nigeria.Note that when you're leaving,don't cause another war,i'm not ready to die or be a victim of war |

haryormeekun: There is no need taking panadol for another person's headache! Seeking for self-determination does not equate to call for war. But if that's what you want, nothing will stop it. With all the injustice, inequity and lopsidedness being perpetrated in the system, that have favoured your people at the expense of others, do your people fare ANY better than they “Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with screwing people over your whole life, I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.” - Jessica Brody 6 Likes |

Icecomrade:Its Am not justifying killings of civilians bt all am saying is dat d ibos brought it upon demselves. Ur claim dat more northerners died because d north had more govt official is a fat lie..... Lets call a shovel a shovel... Premier of d Western region, Akintola was killed, Premier of d Midwest region(2day edo/delta), Okotiebo was killed, u kn 2 well of hw Tefawa and ammadu bello ended up bt d premier of d eastern region, Okparawas spared and Nnamdi our presido was on sick leave wen ur brodas decided 2 tak over.............. Wud u say dey were fair and mind u, trying 2 avoid killing Ironsi was what cost them d coup.... Dey wanted 2 tak over without killing him.

sebali: @ Emboldened: Please go and read "why we struck by Adewale Ademoyega. Atleast it was not written by an Igbo. I am contesting the information you provided in your argument. Please avail me the source, written account by any author that has these informations. I will be pleased to add that to my catalogue. Until then, I reserve my comments. I don't argue blindly Secondly, are you denying the fact that the killings of the easterners in the north fueled the demand to cede? If the killings which occurred has not necessitated the Igbo to move back home, do you think Biafra would ve held sway? Are you aware that the igbo's where also established in the north back then, are willing abandoned what they had to go home? Aren't you making excuses here? [/b] 7 Likes |

Conscience is an open wound; only the truth can heal it. I've solemnly vowed to defend the truth and oppose falsehood and lies all the days of my life. Godswill Akpabio courageously told the truth and nothing else. Smarter governments in saner climes would have taken very obvious and unmistakable steps that would have demonstrated the fact that the war was over and that would have helped rebuilt almost all that was destroyed because a people courageously took their own destiny into their own hands. That war remains one of the most stupid, oppressive and needless war ever fought that I know of. The Igbos still feel unwelcome and unappreciated by the corrupt Nigerian government. Nothing was more brutal and demeaning than converting all the millions these enterprising people had before the war to £20, and by so doing subjected them to decades of struggling for survival. Unfortunately, what was wickedly devised to subjugate them rather created a sense of innovation and enterprise in them that has helped them till its day. We're told necessity is the mother of invention. I'm yet to see any tribe in Nigeria that will come out so great and prosperous just a few decades of having more than 2 million of its people murdered for trying to master their own destiny. All those who killed the innocent and defenseless shall only know ignominy, both in this life and in the one to come. Had Nigeria had sensible government down the years, all these agitation for Biafra would probably not have arisen again, but blacks being blacks, will rather play the ostrich and pretend like nothing is wrong when the opposite is clearly the case. Till date, in our epic primitivity, we are still deliberately doing all that caused the Civil War. It's my sincere wish that Nigeria will allow good sense to prevail over crudity, intimidation and subtle oppression. Let's seek sincere efforts to devolve powers to the Federation regions, and practise true federalism. But where the sons of Uthman Dan Fodio will continue to pillage resources found in other regions other than theirs, Nigeria might still fight another civil war- I pray it doesn't happen. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Icecomrade: U re right northerners ova did it.... Ibos were slaughtered... Esp. d civilian killing and d in house barrack slaughter of ibo soldiers, no justification for dese bt all am saying is ibos shud also share in d blame because their actions initiated all dat followed. Am not aware of 20pounds stuff bt if its true den again d govt wasn't fair in doing so. My point generally is dat ibos should not look at it won sided, as dey rain curse on Yorubas cos of Awo dey shud also give Yorubas some credit cos of Fajuyi who sacrificed his life 4 Ironsi, as dey point out d errors of d F. G and northerners dey shud also giv some blame to kaduna Nzougbo and his crew.... Blame Ironsi 4 nothin handling d aftermath of d failed coup as he ought to. And ibos shud let Yorubas be......

sebali: Generalizing Awo's action to all yoruba's is wrong. I totally agree with you on that. I don't advocate for it and won't support such. Most people react that way when there is a direct attack on the igbo's coming the that region. Let me add that. The coup was avenged by the Northerners. They should ve left it at that. We wouldn't have been having this conversation now. When the killings ended, the igbo's felt injustice and lack of protection from a government where we preach One Nigeria, they should ve let them go. If you follow the Aburi peace accord, which is the most annoying, Gowon should have dis associated himself with the resolutions there and then. Why decieve everyone. You need to see the video documentary of of that convention. Go to youtube, you will find that. This was done in a peaceful atmosphere. They all laughed andd joked in Ghana, shared wine together only to come back renege. The killings where totally unnecessary. Its heart breaking. 6 Likes |
