We the Igbos know what we are doing.See, we foresaw it coming. Mazi Kanu himself prophesied it.For your information, check his past broadcast on Radio Biafra,you will marvel at the accuracy of that prophecy in respect of Arewa Quit Notice,but one thing he said which is being implemented now is that Biafran should not allow the Zoo called Nigeria to detect the pace for us.That's what the Arewa had wanted to ignite,but we have defiled that move.We are the sun;without us there will be darkness in this country.Take it or leave it.The Yorubas are afraid of their fate in the hand of Hausa/Fulanis hence their fright-ridden clamour for Oduduwa Republic if Biafra goes.The only personality I respect on the issue of Biafra is Emir Sanusi.I like him for one thing:he speaks the truth.He has sternly warned his fellow Hausa/Fulanis and their wives(Afonja propagandists) that they have taken more than enough pound of flesh from Biafrans because of the war,and if they don't correct the blood-sucking marginalization they have forcefully subjected Biafra, the time-bomb, we are seated on will soon expose...make no mistake about it.The Arewas and the Afonjas are frustrated Knowing full well that this unholy matrimony called Nigeria will soon end. We Biafrans have the aces up ours sleeves.

u keep quoting off point quote to buttress your illiteracy further. quit being stupid and be sensitive enough with reference

calaway:
all I am saying is recognise that a great injustice was done to MKO Abiola by a skewed state structure...... recognise that the initiators and Provocateur of the Ife crisis of march 2017 are walking free men while the victims for resorting to self defence are languishing in prison incarcerated by a skewed state system...Ilorin administration is lost to the Yoruba forever.....the list of injustice and oppression is endless and yet u endure just to have access to oil? the IBO on the other hand is not docile....... if u r not interested in ur children's destinies the IBO is.
Osinbajo cannot sign the budget cos the Will not let him rather than fight injustice,slavery and hating the oppressors u a busy happily fighting IBO who have done NOTHING to you.

abiola is gone, so u telling me things about Abiola is illogicality of immortality


osibanjo being acting or presidency is not a bothered to me because obj who was president then wasn't paying my house bills neither was I collecting stipends from him every month


so whoever become Nigeria president be it Igbo, Hausa, ijaw should perform well to affect my own standard of living

The road to Biafra

Three days later, May 30, 1967, Lt. Col Ojukwu, a Nigerian soldier of Igbo extraction declared an “independent sovereign state of the name and title of the Republic of Biafra,” officially excising the Eastern Region from Nigeria. Ojukwu based his action on the resolution, four days earlier, on May 26, 1967, of a joint conference of the Eastern consultative assembly and leaders of thought that asked him to declare the Eastern region as a separate republic at an “early practicable date”.

Government of Eastern Nigeria (1966)
The consultative assembly after a review of the above incident, the pogrom, commanded Ojukwu to either carry out their edict or step down. It is understandable that Dr. Aluko, a Yoruba, who although had spent a lengthy time in Igbo land, had no concept or understanding of Ohacracy, the collective servant leadership form of democracy, where the leader is a mere spokesperson who carries out the dictates of Oha (the people), should make the statement below:
"On the night before he was to declare secession, Adebayo called me that despite the assurances by Ojukwu, he learnt that he was going to declare secession tomorrow. I said I spoke to him last night and he did not tell me that he was going to declare secession. So, I called him and said: “Emeka, I have just learnt from the Head of State that you want to declare secession tomorrow.” He said, yes, that the people met and said if he wanted to continue to be military governor, he should either declare secession or quit. He said that to quit meant death. I said, “but you are a leader and a leader is not supposed to follow? People are supposed to follow the leader. Try and dissuade them from declaration. Let us see if we can do a number of things.”

In Ohacracy, the leader follows Oha (the people) not the other way around!

This is a joke right... you might as well quote wikipedia

Sanchez01:
Is this your saying 'I'm running away'? Just like I would tell every shallow agitator, there are over 20 different videos, first hand, accounts of how the whole thing went down. You blame Awolowo for your woes because you know zilch about history itself. You relied on mouth to mouth IPOB tales and readily brandish them like the regular myopic Biafran foot soldier, whereas your version of events is as tainted as scarlet.

Since you verify every source, COULD YOU BE KIND ENOUGH TO MENTION THE BOOK that claimed Ojukwu did not single handedly declare Biafra, or that he was forced to do so, according to you? How about highlight an excerpt of the book you read to back up your claim about the bodies of Igbos that were mutilated and sent back to the East? While you are at it, equipping yourself with nothing less than 50GB of data would help alleviate the ignorance hovering around your head like a halo. YouTube should be your friend for now. You would even see how Ojukwu fled in a calm manner.

You got sucked the moment your tainted history surfaced.

Sanchez01:
What is the name of your phantom history book that prepared the unfortunate unleavened bread that you have chosen to dish out to supposed IPOB members on here?

If Ojukwu didn't singularly declare Biafra, could you please mention a couple of names that pressured him into declaring Biafra? I understand how well you guys play the blame game. The other day, someone claimed Ojukwu was threatened, hence the reason he 'abandoned' the war. Funny bunch.

Again, I'll educate you for free. The pogrom in the North was returned by angry Igbo mobs and TIVs, Igalas alongside a host of other ethnic groups living among the Igbos in the Eastern region were killed in a reprisal attack just so the North could feel the heat as well.

Perhaps, you also didn't know that the pogrom was triggered after the coup plotters went about posting posters with graphic details of how they killed Northern military echelons.

Maybe you would tell me Effiong was the one who convinced Ojukwu that he could win by giving farmers-turned-soldiers five bullets each to go war.

You could twist and turn history like analogue National television, but it won't blemish the truth in any way.

Just so you know, NO MUTILATED BODIES WERE RETURNED ON BOTH SIDES. Who returned them and with which method of transportation were bodies in their huge numbers returned?

If indeed Ojukwu was all about he that is down need fear no fall, perhaps you could also explain why he fled, leaving Effiong in charge to surrender AFTER LEADING OVER THREE MILLION IGBOS TO STARVATION.

Being unlearned is one thing, being an agitator that is unlearned and uninformed is another and the latter is a whole lot difficult to handle.

kingzizzy:
Your problem is that you dont know Nigerian history. Ojukwu did not unilaterally declare Biafra. Ojukwu recieved the mandate to declare the Eastern Region a separate country from the Eastern Nigeria consultative assembly.

Tivs and Igalas were not in.the old Eastern Region, they were in the Northern Region.

The pogroms that happend in the North was not returned in the East. While thousands of Igbos were killed in Northern Nigeria, there is hardley any report of a single Northerner being killed in the East.

It is true that Ojukwu was not as equiped as Gowon for war but for us Igbos, it is far better to go to fight for our freedom with 5 bullets than to submit our selves to Nothern slavery without a fight.

At the end of the day, Ojukwu may not have won, but he gave it his all. Win or lose, there is no shame in.one fighting for their freedom. In the end when the was almost over, Ojukwu handed over to Effiong and flew into exile. Ojukwu was our greatest hero

hardbody:
Please pick up AleX Madiebo's 'The Revolution '. You can get it from Amazon.

Facts are sacrosanct.

Sanchez01:
The same Major General Alex Madiebo of the Biafran Army who claimed that the purpose of the war was for survival? You must be a garrulous fellow in reality. Any other book or writer you think I should know to massage your lies cum false beliefs?

hardbody:
You swallowed that bait. I thought you were smarter than that. I am yet read any other war-time author that even disagreed with his mostly eye-witness write-up. As for you, there is no author I will reference that you won't find reason to not knock on. Since you remain self-effacing, believe what you choose and keep propagating lies to the uninformed. You are simply incorrigible.

Sanchez01:
Here we go again. I'm sure you meant to state the Nigerian history from IPOB perspective.

I never said they were part of the old Eastern Region. All I stated was that they were targeted in the then Eastern Region as being Hausas, and frankly, the mob didn't care where they were from.


Maybe IPOB deliberately ignored this part or haven't figured the epistle to cook here. Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia.

Northern Nigerians were however also targeted in the Igbo dominated Eastern Nigeria.[10] Thousands of Hausas, Tiv and other Northern Tribes were massacred by Igbo mobs, forcing a mass exodus of Northerners from the Eastern Region.[11]

To back this up, there are videos on YouTube. I wonder why many of you are not fully equipped with information on issues pertaining to your past.

You should read up on the Nords and Anglo-Saxons to fully grasp the difference between war and stupidity. I guess it is not surprising as to why the Igbos lost hands down.

Of course not! There is no shame in fighting for one's freedom particularly when such is a slave. However, the greater sin is starting the fight and running with your tail behind your hind legs. It is nothing to be proud of particularly when millions of your people are confronted with death.

If Ojukwu was to be a Japanese, he would have performed the Seppuku, but no, he ran like a spineless coward would after psyching the kinds of farmers and innocent people to their deaths. Read about Seppuku below.
