Why are you mentioning me in a thread I have not even viewed or made any comment, yet you are already terrified?

Is it that you so much crave my "pollution" or my words haunt you long after you've read them?

Why not enjoy your thread in the peace that self delusion affords, while I busy myself with my continuous pursuit of knowledge?
I could care less about ur opinions as ur lies have been busted severally here. I'm just emphasing yoro-people's obsession with igbo topic, using ur unemployed self as a bad example

Well I don't need to say much as you have revealed who is obsessed here.

If you do not know, this is a forum owned by a Yoruba man, so I do not need the permission of an Igbo to venture into any topic that requires illumination that exposes self delusions.

I was busy with important stuff, I will leave you here to wallow in the misery that my factual historical expositions put you.

The truth hurts especially when it exposes the hypocrisy and lies of those who think history had been forgotten.

Try not to be obsessed with me, it will only hurt you and bring you the kind of frustration that made you remember me.

I find it funny when people come to a faceless forum and assume they know everything about the lives of those they don't even know.

What I do for a living is my own business, but which I have revealed in discussions here that necessitated such exposure, especially when arguing topics with those who are not stakeholders but claim they know.

I am a professional who is always on the move internationally.

What I can assure you is that I do not depend on anyone nor steal from anyone.

I am comfortable and contented, and I will never be found on the wrong side of the law.

And for those who will find themselves on the wrong side of the law where I am the authority, I will never show mercy.

It is said that Lord “Haw-Haw” was the federal nickname for Okokon Ndem, a minority easterner who worked as a highly effective Biafran radio propagandist. The former Governor of Cross River State, Mr. Donald Duke, said the late Okokon Ndem handled the propaganda of Biafra to the extent that neither Nigeria nor its opponent was sure of the real situation. undecided

Challenges of Biafra Propaganda

The Biafran media commissioned drama, and sketches in praise of Biafra, and edification of Ojukwu. Nigeria on the other hand was portrayed in a predictably bad light, and Gowon was caricatured.

Biafran Propaganda was bedeviled with some challenges. These challenges include among others its inability to disperse simultaneous information. However it must be pointed out here that two wars were fought in Nigeria during this period. The first was by the military, which eventually the Federal side won.

The second was a war of propaganda conducted in the media, and there is no doubt that the Biafrans won. The Easterners dominated the Nigerian media and they were fully conscious of the need for publicity to attract outside support. The watershed for Biafran propaganda, was the discovery that starvation was a powerful and exploitable propaganda weapon.

Having used genocide, pogrom, religious and ethnic extermination, economic and political domination and subjugation, with limited successes, starvation struck a chord with the world’s conscience. Biafra without weapons could not win a military war, however what Biafrans could not achieve with her feeble military and economic power, she used propaganda to achieve it.

It is important to stress that Biafran propaganda was not carried out only on the media. Biafra invested heavily in foreign emissaries to spread the news, convince the people, raise funds, and lobby members of foreign National Assemblies.

It engaged numerous friends, intellectuals, and sympathisers in foreign countries, to help disseminate its message, and propagate it's case. In this way, it circumvented the censorship and embargo placed on it. http://www.academia.edu/33461280/Propaganda_and_the_Nigerian_Civil_War

No doubt Okokon Ndem was a great Biafran. My parents told me that Biafra, his voice was what kept people going in tough times.

The Nigerian Air force tried to find where the Radio station was broadcasting but the couldn't. [b]What the didn't know what that the transmitter was kept under a Mango tree in Obodo-Ukwu in present day Imo state. [/b]The transmitter was heavily camouflaged as well as a nearby building, that Nigeriann forces simply couldn't find it.

Okokon Ndem was a great Biafran
As a rejoinder the transmitter was mostly driven around in a van and when it was static it was in a Bunker.

I must also add that Oko Okon Ndem worked as part of a committee and he read scripts handed him by the committee.

They were so effective that the Federal troops that overran Enugu were so confused when they continued hearing 'This is The Voice of Biafra in Enugu'...
