The usual half truth and lies just to gain sympathy. It is understandable when kids on NL make comments such as the above but when the same is coming from an old man who should know better, then it is unfortunate.
And how did he lie bro?

God bless nwodo for this speech! Nigeria as a country has failed to deliver good governance and the benefit democracy to it's citizens. Sadly, this failed nation still treats the south Easterners as a conquered territory especially under this APC led bigoted government. Therefore with the status quo still in place after 50 years of the war, the agitations shall continue to grow louder so the affected people can control their resources and destiny.

Heya Nwodo decided to give Afonjas and the Fulani puppet coordinator some history and literature class, maybe after the lecture they might get a nomination in the next literary award. cheesy

I heard Awolowo (Oju Eja) free education didn't cover literature and history grin
You just read Nwodo's speech and decided to write that?? Amazing

...Nwodo'speech was much more matured and detailed than the nursery rhymes spewed by Co-ordinator Osibanjo.

....The storm is gathering for those who can read between the lines..Hmmmm

It is we the 'Ipob kids' on social media that influence public opinion out there. If your ewedu muslim skulls haven't noticed that yet, then you can remain blind. grin grin

There's no doubt Nigeria is on the brink of collapsing because the Northern hegemony and their afonja slaves have refused to listen to the voice of reason..
Unity is achieved by choice and not by force and believe you me if war should breakout there will be nothing like Nigeria in the face of the earth, this is 21st century not the 1960s scenario... Nigeria has no constitution what we are working with is just a document written by military folks. Unless there's a national rebirth the only way out is disintegration because this kind of Federal system is not working.

Powerful speech. meanwhile that midget son of buhari with oluwole law degree was threatening his people with war as if just concluded BEXIT was possible because UK bombed Brussels EU headquarters with nuclear bomb. Afonja never fail to display their backwardness and slavish loyalty to Hausa-Fulani.

And how did he lie bro?
Hoe old is Nwobodo, maybe close to 70? So he is already a mature man during war, in fact he was conscripted. How about Ekwueme, Nwabuisi, Ezeife, .....you want to tell me Ekwueme did not know what bank he kept his money in before war? As a well educated man how does it sound in his ears what Nwobodo said....that biafran's personal bank accounts were liquidated and they were each handed 20pounds by Awo?

Was Awo their banker? So how did Awo get their money? Which bank handed over Ibo personal bank accounts to their enemy? Whatever bank it is, they should be taken to court. Biafrans must be paid back their savings, plus fees, penalties, interests and adjustment for inflation over the past 50yrs.

If you cant do that then your claim is fraudilent and Nwobodo here is encouraging fraud .

Adadike, Ojukwu said far more, and in front of international press corps. Ojukwu went with all kind of grammar and had a grandslam. ....and at the end of the day where is Biafra? Still showing the world you dont care whose ox is gored, but in 2017 you are in same exact spot you were in 67. What a tragedy! Who all this bravado and english epp? grin

Re: John Nwodo's Speech At Biafra Remembrace Day Conference In Abuja Today. by KratosCorp:
What exactly are you talking about?

That Biafrans' pre-war bank deposites were not wiped out to a mere max of £20 per account after the war?

If that was not shere madness and ecenomic genocide why was the bank deposites of Western and Nothern Nigeria not equally affected? Or were those regions not involved in the war?

I just don't get how denonic and hardened the hearts of folks with your views are.

It's pathetic.

You know I was laughing pretty hard when I heard the fooool talk about war. That means that my fellow Potopoto boys that have been attacking this man were right all along for calling him a mere commissioner. Check my post history. I have never said bad of him before.

But for this man to use subtle means and threaten Igboland with war, that implies that he is more mad than I taught!

Igbos? Be afraid of war? Maka why? We all know that "we may loose eventually". But God willing, Nigeria may not come out alive from it!
Guy u funny. Anyways even the more reason why we shouldn't go to war. Igbos still have too much development they can offer Nigeria and can receive similar too. For the sake of our kids who would prefer to grow with their parents than without them, in order to avoid such a repeat of that deja vu. A peaceful logical approach is much better than a hostile one.

Funny how people like you enjoy living in denial. Please it is diabolical to tell a people that what they experienced and felt was false. The fact remained that every Igbo man was given 20 pounds after the war and an indigenization policy was promulgated almost immediately to unfairly keep them from buying into the new Nigerian economy. Nwodo experienced it firsthand. Twist it all you can,write all kind of literature you wish about it being a wrong assertion. It changes nothing because the victims are all well alive to refute your well perfected, 50 year old historical revisionism.

Bros I'm surprised at your argument. The screenshot below is from a Wikipedia page. Google is your friend bro,use it

Meanwhile the person being discussed is not NWOBODO but NWODO

When the greatest man in Nigerian politics Dr Saraki referred to Osibanjo as a mere commissioner, people treated him with contempt but now he has been vindicated. Osibanjo is now a proven puppet while Saraki's greatness surpasses that of Awolowo, Abiola, Obasanjo and Thiefnibu joined together.

As it stands Nigeria has no future, does this mean that only the East knows this?
I don't really understand again. It's unfortunate but the truth is we're heading for disintegration.

The more we're postponing restructuring, the more we're disintegrating. Time waits for no one, other African countries are leaving us behind.

We are a petro economy and the age of high oil price has gone. In fact by 2027 election, it'll be a miracle if oil is still being sold above $20 per barrel and let's not forget our population will be increasing.

Nigeria as we are structured now cannot survive without oil and it's injury time for oil.
