Oh well....

The hypocrisy did not start today, it has been in existence since the days of the 3 men "Praying" for the unity of the shithole they helped in destroying with a CAMERAMAN on standby to capture the moment.



What a pose for the CAMERA.

Zik is the main Architect of Nigeria's problem. Had it been he had canvassed for secession we wouldn't be where we are today. No wonder Ojukwu is more respected than him in the entire Igbo Land.

Respected in igboland, are you talking of the man that struggled to be an ordinary senator?

How can you translate this to praying for war to end.

This is propaganda taken too far against the dead.

If you believe this you can believe anything...


People can decide to pray or a priest visited them and they prayed.


Someone is now translating it as praying for war to end..



The greatest evil is simply lying against the dead.

Useless narrative to counter secessionist agenda

So everybody agreed for secession clause to be included in the constitution except Zik.. ? Ziks vote (One man's vote) is bigger than that of the whole Notherners and swesterners put together.. ?

Zik must be a super human then..

Where is Zik in the picture? Fake news

And God answered their prayers cos shortly thereafter, Ojukwu ran away to Abidjan and the war came to an end. Imagine if the war had not ended when it did, LZAA and Immhotep might not have been born as their fathers would have perished as a result. So my guys appreciate good, well intentioned people whenever you come across them

The war did come to an end but Nigeria's unity today seem to be one that can be questioned.

You can never twist history. Zik campaigned vigoriously against secession throughout the country as he was regarded as one nigerianist. His position prevailed and the clause wasn't included in the constitution. It wasn't 2votes vs 1vote as you claimed. Search all historical archives and you'd find Zik's official speech on secession.
