Stop being hypocritical and go worry about your people.

Where was your voice when many Igbos were massacred and killed during and after 2011 elections?

Where was your voice when Oba Rilwanu Akiolu of Lagos threatened to drown Igbos if they refused to vote for his anointed candidate?

Where were you when Fashola deported Igbos from Lagos to Onitsha bridge in the middle of the night, in the same 'One Nigeria'?

What did you do to stop the constant hate messages that have been going on for decades in the mosques and the unconscionable, cold-hearted waste of human lives and reckless destruction of means of livelihoods in the North and Middle-belt?

From what you have just written, it is very clear you have been brainwashed and now lack the ability to reason objectively. I would try to address the misconceptions you have raised but I am very sure your brain would not still assimilate my explanations.


Not only Igbos were killed, even amongst the Corpers who died, there were several Yorubas and people of other tribes. Only a mischievous and paranoid mind would interpret that as an attack against Igbos in other to justify the imminent breakdown of law and order which IPOB youths are brewing. I dont expect you to assimilate this though.


A drunk retired policeman claims Igbos would drown in the lagoon (probably spiritually) if they don't vote his choice in an election, and you flare up claiming it is an attack on Igbos which warrants Igbos running away to a new country. Is that how petty you are?... the empty words of one man, is that what you want to compare with the massacre Igbos suffered in the 60's to warrant the recent call for war?

Fashola also deported destitute Yorubas to Oyo and all the other south-west states. In like manner, Peter Obi and even Amaechi and Akpabio's governments were also involved in some cases of deporting destitute people. Once again, I still cannot understand why some mischievously paranoid minds have interpreted fashola's action as a YORUBA ATTACK AGAINST IGBOS.

Northerners have always been blood thirsty vampires especially under the guise of their religion. That your mind has also interpreted this as a direct attack specifically against Igbos, this is beyond my comprehension.

Now a group of misguided jobless youths are on the streets in the SE hatching plans to unleash havoc all in the name of secession and some comfortable thoughtless people like yourself are behind their computers urging our youths to go kill themselves by fighting with the police. May i remind you that this is exactly how bokoharam started.

Mister, why should it be too for you to simply present your facts and figures for the benefit of your readership

I look forward to reading your reply soonest.

If you cannot provide reasonable response, I would serious advise you stop peddling wicked lies and propaganda.

BTW, can you simply identify and be identified by your ethnic nationality?

In the 60's, innocent Igbos were dragged out into the streets and murdered in mass numbers in different parts of the country; the aftermath of that led Ojukwu to call for a secession.

45 years after the war, a probably drunk ex-olokpa says Igbos would drown in the lagoon if they dont vote his candidate in lagos and someone thinks this empty statement from one man is a sensible justifications for secession and the imminent breakdown of law and order?... I think this is an insult to the memories of those who died in the war and also an insult to the sensibilities of reasonable Igbos.

asha80:
I am actually against nnamdi kanu and his rhetoric as I dont listen to him broadcast anymore but I just wanted to treat that Oba issue in isolation

obailala:
The issue is, I hate it when the problems of igbos are discussed and then someone tries to include the Oba's statement as one of our issues. For God's sake, Igbos have been murdered in cold blood in the north but yet, someone cites the empty 'words' of one drunk man as a problem?... Whatever happened to our priorities?

I know your type - a typical Yoruba man from a tribe that have made careers out of lies, falsehood, noise-making, propaganda, abuse and slurs!

You tried in vain to portray yourself as being objective and sincere but ended up being clever by half.
It has always been in your character to deny and defend the indefensible!

Mischievous bigot, for one Yoruba person killed in the North there are hundreds of Igbos killed!

Why do you Yoruba people treasure lies and falsehood to the extent of ass-licking their Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri slave masters.
Recently, some of your folks have begun carrying wicked lies about how Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri people have been peace-loving and accommodative. And that it is the Igbos who akways provoke their host, warranting the pogrom committed against Igbos in the North!
But truth remains that such accommodative spirit is not extended to the Christian minorities in the North and Middle-belt. These minorities are maltreated and relegated to the background.

Pretender, can you justify your prejudiced views by providing the links on NL or elsewhere where you condemned Dr Ariyo and Oba Rilwanu Akiolu threat to the Igbos here and right now for the benefit of your readership?

A jackass who is mischievous and detest the truth would come online pontificating when in reality they are the problem of Nigeria.

Why should certain cretins and street urchins from Yoruba tribe and their co-travellers always talk about war when issues of self-determination are mentioned? Get it into your thick skull that strange bedfellows are not meant to be together!

The great USSR disintegrated without a shot fired. Many of your ilks who are dead weights and lazy suckers tend to twist out of human form when there is a slight talk of disintegration of Nigeria. It is despicable!

When everybody understands that NO ONE is safe from an oppressive system, peace will come. Justice precedes peace. 
An unjust system cannot endure.

xtrorse:
Mister, stop being mischievous and simply post the links on NL or elsewhere where you condemned Dr Ariyo and Oba Rilwanu Akiolu for his threat on Igbos.

Show us where you condemned the action of many of your folks who supported the Oba's threat on Igbos.

Also, show where you condemned the despicable actions of your people who take to the media to rejoice and taunt the Igbos for being killed in mass in the North, in the same 'One Nigeria'.

And to add to the insult some of your Yoruba folks come online professing the accommodative and peace-loving attitude of the Hausa-Fulani-Kanuris in the Nirth when the reverse is the case.
Why

obailala:
I am not yoruba so I didnt bother reading beyond your first flawed statement. I hate tribalists and cannot waste my precious time arguing with one because tribalism, just like a hard drug, erodes the sanity of those who are involved in it... and yes, the surest sign to know an irredeemable igbo tribalist is that their handicapped brains always assume everyone who's against their opinion must be yoruba.

delishpot the Kalabarian, can you simply provide the facts and figures of Biafran genocide on Kalabari people for the benefit of your readership here and now or forever remain silent?

I look forward to reading your reply soonest.

If you cannot provide reasonable response here and now, I would serious advise you stop peddling wicked lies and propaganda.

Why do you think your allegation should prevent a people from seeking self-determination?

BLOOD ON THE NIGER: THE FIRST BLACK ON BLACK OCTOBER 1967 GENOCIDE OF ASABA PEOPLE BY MURTALA, GOWON  AND AWOLOWO

...Like my father and elder brother that were part of the over 1000 youths that were killed on October 7, 1967, in Asaba, most of them were members of the Action Group (AG). The people that believed in the NCNC at that time left for the east. My father who worked in Enugu, Nsukka, Uzuakoli and Kafanchan as a civil servant could have gone to the east. But he believed in that war. He was an apostle of the Awo ideas-free education and free medical services. In fact, the Asaba General Hospital that is now a Specialist Hospital was brought to us by the AG led by Nduka Eze, another AG hardliner who left the Zikist Movement to join Awolowo. But Nduka Eze's wife was killed by the federal troop under the command of Murtala Mohammed because she refused to be touched because they were defiling women at random when they came in.

The genocide against the Igbos has been proved beyond reasonable doubt by the apology made to Asaba people by General Gowon when he came there after the release of the Blood On The Niger. The genocide against the Igbos was proved beyond reasonable doubt at the Oputa panel which the federal government has up till now refused to publish the findings. Bishop Desmond Tutu chaired the Truth and Justice tribunal in South Africa to find out what happened in South Africa during the apartheid period. It was accepted by both sides and just look at the peace that has prevailed there since then. Why would Nigeria not publish the findings of the Oputa Panel where it has been proved beyond reasonable doubt that pilots were throwing bombs at random into market places in Uzuakoli, Uzuitem and Nsukka, where bottles and implements were also used against women during the war.

History is an account of the actions of actors in a community or in a state recorded that made impacts during their time. Awolowo was a great leader; great politician and great performer in government but his activities during the civil war were negative. If you are a writer, you cannot defend his position that starvation is an instrument of warfare. Starvation cannot be an instrument of warfare when you are fighting a civil war. 

Nigeria was being supplied arms from all countries. For the first time there was an unholy alliance between the Soviet Union and the West. It had never happened before. Any place that there was a war of revolution, the USSR is always taking the place of the revolutionary. How come that the USSR for the first time allied with the West against Biafra? So, let somebody go and disprove Achebe; that is what we want to see not that somebody did not commit genocide. Genocide has been proved to be committed. If there were no genocide, the World Council of Churches, the Caritas wouldn't have come in droves. If genocide was not committed, why did Biafra lose two million casualties, most of them civilians and children? And if people are not apologising to Igbos, why should they now come out to talk because one man has been put to where he belongs in history. He was the principal protagonist of using starvation as an instrument of warfare against his fellow citizens. Remember that Nigeria was fighting a war of unity. They were not as desperate as the other camp that was fighting a war of secession. So, in international convention Geneva included, you don't use starvation against civilians, you don't use firearms against civilians and you don't use bombs. Are they saying they didn't bomb civilians during the war? The Nigerian Air Force was very pronounced in its use of bombs on civilians and their targets were churches, market places and hospitals. These were recorded by missionaries and foreign journalists. 

Awolowo was the Minister of Finance under Gowon. He was the de facto prime minister of Nigeria during the war and he performed. I don't grudge him for winning the war for Nigeria; for changing the currency. He can win the war by all means but the fact that he prevented massive aid from coming is genocidal.

There was an inhuman instance. There was an incident where a Red Cross plane coming with medication and food was blown off the sky for the beleaguered people of Biafra. Even after the war, what was the purpose of denying Igbos their primary source of protein-stockfish? How can you defend the policy of giving people who have lost everything only 20 Pounds? If there is anybody that should have been given more, the returning war battered people of Biafra should have received more.

The Igbos have always accepted Awolowo as a great leader but his activities during the civil war shocked them. BY THE OBJECTIVE OF THE JANUARY 15 COUP, as quoted by Odia Ofeimun, the poet, the boys believed he was the greatest leader. 

THE LEADERS OF THE COUP, WERE TO MAKE CHIEF AWOLOWO THE PRIME MINISTER OF NIGERIA. These coup leaders didn't go for Azikiwe or Balewa. They wanted Chief Awolowo as quoted by Odia in a 1999 edition of The Guardian. Awolowo was supposed to be released by the Nzeogwu coup, which didn't have its assumed ending; it was aborted half way. It was Nzeogwu's colleague, Major Nzegwu that was supposed to pick him from Calabar prison and release him. So, I'm proving to you that the Igbo literality have always accepted Awo as one of the best and great leaders the country has ever produced but his activities during the war did not only shock them but betrayed the trust they had in.

During the whole peace conferences from Niamey to Kinshasha, Awolowo, Enahoro and Alison Ayida, who was a permanent secretary, always took a hawkish stand. That was why in the Niamey conference of 1968 Alison Ayida quoted Awo exactly that starvation is an instrument of warfare. This was at a time when millions of Biafran children were dying off. And death by starvation is not an ordinary death. It is for you to experience it. It was horror and the photographs are there but Awolowo and his henchmen never batted an eyelid even after the war. That is why we glorify other great literality like Wole Soyinka who told us in his book A Man Died that extermination was committed in Asaba. He was the first courageous soul in Nigeria that told the world about the Asaba massacre.

delishpot:
Thanks for the link. I have read it and I appreciate your effort. I guess when there is war all animal becomes meat. All in all. Like I said if biafra wants to be independent they should be allowed to do so. But talking about the biafran Nigerian war, No side was a saint.

delishpot:
I also will not forget what the Nigerian army did to the kalabaris too. Does that make it feel better?.
BTW why do igbos believe their Biafran soldiers did not commit genocide or war atrocities during the war? Why are they in denial of what their soldiers did to the people of towns and villages they capture during that war?
Yes I ask because many igbo people seem not to realize that the other people their soldiers slaughtered were as helpless as the biafran people who were innocently caught in that blood bath.
Just as you have observed with the bombings of Odi, calabar creek, Saro wiwa et al are signs that those people from those parts were innocent and not the ones fighting Biafra yet Biafran soldiers had no mercy when they entered the land.
Yet no one hears about them. No one hears about the deaths of Non Biafrans. Just as the black man cries about slavery and blames the white man yet they ignore their brothers who captured fellow blacks and sold them for gin and mirrors to the white man.
Why do we like to blame only the other side and forget what we did to the other side?
I wish Biafra to be granted the igbos. But truth be told their soldiers also commited war crimes. Only hypocrites will deny that fact.


No side played the saint. I hate war and I will never forget what the Biafrans did and even what the Nigrrian soldiers did after the biafrans were captured. It was hell and sorrow for my Niger delta people.
