God bless you. The retribution of Bubu's ineptitude will not affect you.

Someone you have not met in real life .

That shows how far bigotry and hatred can go

You need master Jesus for love

Embrace love and you will be free of sadness
you are the scum of the earth.
You and the deadmeat seller are a menace to human sensibilities

History. . . .

The most successful ambush of the Biafrans was the Abagana massacre of the Nigerian soldiers. The whole group perished!!!

But in anger, the Biafrans destroyed all the resources like food, drugs and especially weapons, equipment and vehicles. It was idiotic to destroy them. They could have helped the Biafrans!!! They didn't care bc that time, they were still using the Nigerian money !!!!

What to do? The Ogbologbo brain in Gowon's govt, Pa Awo changed the money. . . . that was the beginning of the confusion in Ojukwu's camp. Ojukwu later forgave Awo but Chinua Achebe never did. He wrote wickedly against Awo in his book: There was a country.

The picture below showed what � anger can cause. Why destroying the drug, vehicles, tanks, weapons, communication equipments etchuh??

Skinner Moses O explains:

I don't go with the narrative that Ojukwu later forgave Awolowo as Awolowo never really committed any sin against Ojukwu or the Igbo race. Ojukwu only later changed his views on Awolowo's role after many years when he took a more objective look at the situation, put himself in Awolowo's shoes and asked himself if he would have reacted differently from Awolowo in an identical circumstance. Moreover he looked beyond the immediate causes of the war to the remotest cause which has to do with the sabotage by his own kinsman, Azikiwe, of Awolowo's earlier motion for secession clause in 1954 and concluded in his memo that Zik, through his vainglorious personal ambition, caused all that Igbos suffered in the war and still suffer in Nigeria today unlike Awolowo who put Yorubas' Interest above his personal ambition all through.
if you recall very well this same The Ogbologbo brain in Gowon's govt, Pa Awo was in jail on a life sentence and his brain could not save him or his region which was on fire .

But in anger, the Biafrans destroyed all the resources like food, drugs and especially weapons, equipment and vehicles. It was idiotic to destroy them. They could have helped the Biafrans!!! They didn't care bc that time, they were still using the Nigerian money !!!!
This is exactly what someone who does not know how Ogbunigwe works would type. Ogbunigwe as the name implies was a mass destroyer and does not spare anything , man or material in its path of destruction. it holds the world record of wiping out the entire 2nd Division of the Nigerian Army, no other military under the sun has been able to achieve this right from the biblical days of king David to modern militaries of Alexander the great , Napoleonic wars till the atomic bombs of the second world war.

the civil war has been gone since 50years can we concertrate on what is really affecting nigeria and nigerians
I do not know what informed your stream of thought. However there is nothing that affects Nigeria and Nigerians more than Nigeria/Biafra war. Nigeria remains in the state of confusion simply because of the war.

And if you d.a.ft m.o ron would recall, it was the govt of Tafawa balewa and Azikwe that jailed awo on a trumped up charge of treason and the sentence was 10 years and not life as you lying ydiot would have your gullible readers, believe.

As for closing paragraph, only you ibos would fight wars with your big mouth. that was the same big mouth your moronic warlord used to waste 3millions of your fathers before finally absconding in the middle of the night to safety
