Igbos Are Gifted, Envied By Their Neighbours- US Dept. Of State (Kissinger Memo) by Easternsun2020(op):
Henry Kissinger, former US Secretary of States wrote this in his memo to the President of the United States:

"The Ibos are the wandering Jews of West Africa -- gifted, aggressive, Westernized; at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by the mass of their neighbors in the Federation. They have fought well (by African standards) against heavy odds; their cynical public relations use of the starvation has been brilliant."

Igbos from Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi, Abia, Anambra, Delta, Rivers and elsewhere, please, click on the United States Department of State link below to read. It is emancipation time. Don't allow the Nigerian media reduce you to what they want. We are a strong United people.

Ethnic hatred won't make you better. Why do you hate the tribe?

That's her personal opinion, every tribe in Nigeria is gifted been gifted Is not a function of tribe.

I don't like when people bring division among other people, nations alike.

Thank you for this refreshing piece at least this should kill the recurring lies;

1. That Igbos were not the forerunners in the Nigerian civil service, commerce and ranks as the most educated of the tribal lots in Nigeria

2. That the coup of 1966 was carried out of malice and a need to dominate.

3. That Aguiyi Ironsi was tribal in his handling of the coup plotters.

4. That there was and have been no hate meted out to the Igbos by mostly the Northern and Western elite.

5. That the eventual succession and war was of Ojukwu's making and his need to satisfy greed.

Side Piece

The truth stands tall. From a neutral, well informed position we can learn the true nature of the problem that bedeviled us at that time and that seem to carry-on today to determine our collective future.

Nigeria owes the Igbos an apology! Until then...

When facts like this are presented, those who delight in engaging in baseless tribal wars will all avoid the thread like a plague. They will peep and run. You will find them in other threads where unfounded propaganda is used to insult people. Please, come and argue with facts archived in the US Department of State. It will remain there forever. Many would wish it be deleted.

Haters are like crickets; they make a lot of noise you can hear but never see them, then you walk right by them and they’re quiet.

Did you Understand this?

“in 1966 was a classic effort by young officers to set things right. But they were also eastern Ibos who murdered with ritual flair a northern Hausa Prime Minister along with the Premiers of the Northern and Western States.

An Ibo general stepped in and tried honestly to hold the union together for a year. But the coup leaders went unpunished and the spiral was rapid. Six months later the general was murdered and 30-40,000 Ibos were savagely slaughtered in the North. Young colonels in a coalition of West and North took over in Lagos. The East (2/3 Ibo, 1/3 minority tribes) took back a flood of terrified Ibo refugees from the rest of the country and talked secession. “
