BUHARI will b vry glad

Is buhari God? I don't know what you will derive the igbo people die in another war.your comment reeks of hatred

I don't like jumping on all these Iborikiti threads but e be like say una no wan get sense. The thread is about Anambra but you thugs
just had to drag Yoruba into it.

Maybe it's until we start turning your useless threads upside down, that's when y'all will make use of your brains.

Se lo' riyin daru ni

Omoluabi16:
Any sensible and well thinking will not only appreciate this thread, but use it as an opportunity for sober reflection. I may detest nnamdi kanu and his ipob minions, but what happened in the nigerian civil war was unfortunate. Even if we try to justify the civil war, the events leading to the war was pure genocide. Killings from one region on another was out of envy and tribalism. we are still groping in the dark because of this dark period. The civil war should never have happened..there was no victor there, the vanquished were the collective nigeria. This hurts men.

If you're not Igbo then, you are one of the few good hearts I have ever seen on this Niaraland, I'm one of the full blooded Igbos who has sworn to their Fathers grave never to again accept the union of Nigeria even if it means dying this minute but, a sincere spirit like yours is what it would take to bring my such back to love Nigeria again, unfortunately there are not many of you who would reason the way you reason. there case if much worse because Nigeria is not working for them and they don't even have a future to even wonder what Nigeria would look in the nearest future and how their life would be

ElsonMorali:
And you're a tiny fool. Stop lying That's your finger.

Well, it's not....stop being petty.

All these Yorubas that are always jumping on their threads unnecessarily, I tire for una. If we open Yoruba threads, we no go see una for there

There is a clown on this thread that calls himself Yoruba but has never opened a single Yoruba related thread his whole life

He might as well change his username to an Iborikiti one

oluwalfa:
What is it with these people and crying?

Just imagine your life! that's to show we're not same kind of people, you're heartless, most you Yorubas not all, just imagine what is happening here on Niaraland you will learn that our real problem in is Yoruba and the reason is what I still can't understand.

Just imagine? do you have human heart at all?

Godfullsam:
Ojukwu is very wicked. He started what he could not finish....

@ d end, he ran away leaving thousands of igbos to die.

Get your facts right abeg, Igbos called Ojukwu the highest ranking officer in Igboland who has the interest of the Igbos in heart and told him to declare Biafra Independence.

Na so. I'm not Igbo, and I am pro- one nigeria. The one nigeria I actually want is not this one. Still on the civil war, I have seen people celebrate it..like oh killed them. But we have woefully failed to fully reintegrate the biafrans and put the ghosts of that war away. It's shameful some people poke fun at others using the war experience. The only way I can convince you to believe in this country is by loving you and showing it. I expected buhari to put all secessionist to shame with good governance, then the mofo said that 5% stuff. I still believe this country will get better. If God wills we separate, then fine. But war no be am oh.

Seeing these pictures ALWAYS take my mind to JP Clark's 'The Casualties'. Nigeria seemed the victor but the entire country pays today. Even after the collapse of the Aburi Accord, Ojukwu could have avoided the war but he could not as his motive was purely political. Most people don't even know what was contained in the Accord, yet, you see them say Gowon didn't honour the Accord from his end.

Aburi accord is as follows:

"Members agree that the legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government should remain in the Supreme Military Council, to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided that where it is possible for a meeting to be held the matter requiring determination must be referred to military governors for their comment and concurrence.

Specifically, the council agreed that appointments to senior ranks in the police, diplomatic, and consular services as well as appointment to superscale posts in the federal civil service and the equivalent posts in the statutory corporation must be approved by the Supreme Military Council.

The regional members felt that all the decrees passed since January 15, 1966, and which detracted from previous powers and positions of regional governments, should be repealed if mutual confidence is to be restored."

Truth is, the Accord had been agreed upon by all parties present, but its demands were much sensible, save for the number three which had not favoured Ojukwu, hence, the need to 'restart' the said decrees. Gowon prolly never understood what he signed until he returned to Nigeria and while Ojukwu was hell bent on seeing that the Accord was upheld, he never had prior plans for the war, save for tension everywhere and rumours of an eventual war which had settled most areas. It explains why the aftermath was too devastating, particularly towards the children from the Eastern Region.

The interesting part here is, Ojukwu had a fair amount of food supply. And rather than ration the food among the people, particularly the children, the Eastern Military top officials at the time had more than enough for themselves and their families, just as Ojukwu. 'Personal stack-ups' didn't happen until the Nigerian government captured oil facilities in Port Harcourt. And with the leaked photographs of starving children, the international communities could not help but wade into the sad experience by sending relief items, which clearly didn't do much. In reality, the war was more important to Ojukwu than the welfare of the people he governed at the time.

The war should have ended the moment Port Harcourt was blocked, but no, it continued for almost two more years, leading to massive deaths by starvation. The rest of the story, we all know.

Oil remains a curse to Nigeria. Had it not been found or discovered, there would have been no war in the first place. And for those choosing death or biafra, I'd suggest you take some time to see the several videos on YouTube.

PS: Biafra, till date, remains a political tool, just like it was back then. Our call should be something much more similar but sophisticated than the Aburi Accord - True Federalism and Resource Control. Until then, we might just be running in a vicious cycle. In the end, we all remained casualties.

This part really sounds funny to me. How in heaven's name are the powers that be going to agree to RESTRUCTURING (I guess that is what you are alluding to)...
Anyway this thread has been successfully derailed for any meaningful argument.

OLodo,keep fooling urself that the present generation of Biafrans wil be discouraged to go war wit u invaders by watching youtube video as if we ve not seen you slaughter our kinsmen in onitsha,Ph and Aba recently in real life.we re just taking records so dat our deadly revenge, which mostl likely will be all out full scale brutal war would even be justified by peace loving pacifists around the world;we re putting them on notice of ur atrocities against our pipple.

raker300:
Caritas priests (Catholics) helping the starving Biafra. They saw it as a war on Christianity

Caritas has been in many major wars. They were in Somalia, a country where most of the residents are Muslims. The Roman Catholic Church has always been selfless in this regard. So, take your blatant lie elsewhere.

We don't need them to agree. The main reason they have been unfazed about restructuring is because we have not come out as one to voice out on this. Every region in this country is blessed, regardless, and we just have to look for a better way to making sense out of the madness we call democracy.

The great War chief. I know you are planning a full scale invasion and destruction on Nigeria. The irony of this would be to cry for help when, God forbid, it happens. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I hope you put that at the back of your mind as you map out your full scale global destruction.

The bolted is the very reason it won't be achievable. At least not yet.

Close your mouth you head hunter..You fellow skull miners like elson morail flooded this thread..

It would, but trust me, it is not in any way close. A perfect example is seeing people take sides by laying their lives for corrupt public officials all in the name of party or interest. We are yet to understand how to hold officials accountable for their deeds and actions and this only indicate how we are not yet ready.

I believe my signature says a whole lot on the power of one voice. The day we learn to use it, the day we advance as a people.

May God destroy northern Nigeria and there allies.

Your nigeria is doomed already,do you ever wonder why the largest refugee(IDP) camp in Africa is in the north east of nigeria, not mention the new one Springing up in Oshogbo,even when no country has declared war on them?

Ask yourself, are the 'Biafrian states' any better? Onitsha and Abia are considered as slums by the United Nations and Onitsha is described as the city with the world's worst air. My point exactly? The entire country is not doing well, save for a state or two and this has nothing to do with blind sentiments.

Perhaps you want to tell me the world declared war on Onitsha and Abia state to make them unsafe and unhealthy for humans? Until we get our priorities right, we'll keep running in circles.

ElsonMorali:
Just look at you making a fool of yourself.

It was a war. Were you expecting a war without casualties, where the enemy won't kill you because you're Igbo?

Your mentality is Really juvenile. I swear.

I think he meant the pogrom in the north before the war.It was horrible.

raker300:
you should declare war on poverty, insecurity and disease first before making noise here.
World health has declared that 20 million northern Nigerians will die by 2030..lol and you're here looking at the igbos. Kudos

or u min easterners daz y dey bin hanged everyday all over d world and who is world health organization? U min d1 from d land if d falling sun

the bigest slum in nigeria (makoko) is In the lagos,South West.Btw when are you joining ur pipple who are protesting for Ambode to "BRING BACK OUR SLUM".ode

ElsonMorali:
Look at this one o. Lol. Probably born in the early 21st century, probably 2001, blabbing about things that happened in 1966/67 like he was there.

Your parents lied to you, partly because their own parents lied to them.

You want to keep playing the victim, be our guest. Nobody gives a crap about your victim display anymore.

We know you Well enough.

you are not smart at all counter his previous statement ,when did the war start youvssid 1966 while it started 67

teelaw4life:
These nairaland jews sef...they can never go one day without blaming their sorrows on yorubas. I've never seen a tribe so intent on fantasy and self denial.

Yeebos.

....Op was posting pictures in peace only for your mentally -unstable brothers whose past time is constituting mega nuisance on Biafran related threads to jump in with their trailer load of trash..

....Now that your brother/tribe has gotten the attention they were craving for,kind enjoy and stop whinning.

Yyeske:
Nobody should please castigate the OP for this thread, he is indirectly telling those IPOB miscreants what could befall them in another war.

Kids who had never seen a riot and shouting for a war should be pityed and not scolded, they need education on the ills of war.
Anyone who's experienced one never prays for another war even not for his enemies but these kids already brainwashed by hate think they can sit in the comfort of their bed and visit social media, updating pix and videos in a war.

Advice them to go ask their parents and grandparents who experienced the last war about the movie of 1969-70, maybe that would make them understand

sometimes I don't know how to address you so you think if war starts abokiii will hear I no follow unless you are not Igbo when ipob drags this to war,you must join or get killed by both people

KINGOFTHEEAST:

What led to the war?and when did the events that led to the war start, Mr smart.

obaaderemi:

The pogrom was definitely horrible, absolutely avoidable.

Eventually, those of us who were born after the events of those years can now look back with the benefit of hindsight and condemn them.

Seems we are treading the same path again.

Agumbankembu:
Well, it's not....stop being petty.

Yeah, I'm being petty actually.

Maybe you too should stop insulting "Afonjas", then we'll both call a truce and call it a day, after all it's Good Friday anyway.

NetBizguy:
Do you know you have even made bigger fool of yourself? Killing of Igbos around every Conner of Nigeria came even before the war, that was the actual reason Igbos said they are no longer interested in Nigeria and nothing else.

Look, we are trying to have an intelligent discussion here bro.

This isn't the venue where you throw something against the wall and Hope it sticks.

Stop trotting out the halt truths and outright lies you've beenough told OK?

"Killing of Igbos around every Conner of Nigeria (sic)"

Can you prove that and can you tell us why they were being killed in every "Conner" of Nigeria?

Show us How they were killed in the western region en mass and I'll believe you.

Shows us the pictures of CBN looted by your fathers.

Shows us the houses of non-indigenes hijacked by your fathers.

Show us the body of Nigerian soldier, someones, father, uncle, son, son-in-law, killed by your fathers.

Bunch of jokers, that are always ruled by their emotions and hollow chest beating.

biafran troops targeted military installations and personnel not civilian populations like the nigerians did.

That's what the thread is about..keep up man
