That is actually what they want.

For Gowon and OBJ to say what will make the rest of the country begin a second pogrom against the Igbos

So that they can re-found Biafra Republic.

And don't expect no less than heavy sanctions on Nigerian government if the pogroms happen.

By the way, nobody has monopoly of violence, expect the foreigners in Igbo land to be treated however way Igbos are treated in the rest of Nigeria.
@ emboldened when Gowon was once pushed to the wall and said he didn't regret any of his actions during Biafra, you people started crying

You emotional babies are not ready to hear the truth.

Most of these idiots like questioning people's IQ when yours is obviously lower than that of a retard

Most of you are particularly dumb, impulsive, emotional and stupid cheesy

No wonder Ojukwu led 3 million of you to your early grave.

You idiots lost a war and you should be glad that you are still being treated like first class citizens today because the army men that won the war were God fearing.

You should ask the jews what they suffered in the Nazi concentration camp.
the imp can't even type....look at this fool,we want out na by force,and BTW prepare to loss 3million of your women and children soon, callous cow,we are no slaves,we rather die fighting than be slaves to the fulanis like your useless fathers are...lord lurdgard was right about your tribe..disgusting cowards that ran when Fulani jihadist arrived in Oyo empire is now bragging....slaves...only skull mining that's what your lineage are good at... grin

A response full of comedy of errors cheesy

1) Starting sentences and Names with Small letters

2) Poor use of punctuation

3) Poor grammar

4)Use of wrong adjectives like callous that does not suit the context of the sentence

Need I go on !

Yet, this particular idiot will still have the nerve to question anyone's education or IQ cheesy

Your parents lost about 3 million of your people to a war and still ended up being slaves to those they fought against, the least you can do as a child of a failed generation is to try as much as possible to improve yourself so that you don't end up being a failure.

The way you even type depicts failure ! grin

You don't even seem have the capacity to compose a simple sentence. grin

I will damage my brain if I try to make sense of the gibberish you wrote

I only pity the sacrifices of the 3 million igbos that died in the war because it's almost like as if you are dancing on their graves with your failure.

Every part of Nigeria is changing sir, including the regions perceived to be the most backward regions.



It's part of the evidence of the success of the reconciliation that who were defeated have recorded such feats.


Nigeria has great problems but will overcome these problems.





Ndi Nijeriya Amaka!
Racoon:
So much zeal and determination for a region deemed defeated and left to start life from the scratch but dramatically picked up to be dominating every facets of our national life because of the never-say-never resilient spirit.

The region that was responsible for this back then is today a sordid theatre of gross illiteracy, abject poverty, child marriage/abuse, religion intolerance, terrorism wanton bloodshed and killings among many ills of human existence.

Meanwhile, Nigeria had then remained a deteriorating phenomenon since the forced marriage and nothing but a clear disintegration is imminent.
Re: Nigeria Is Haunted By Its Civil War-- New York Times by Iamgrey5(m): 4:28pm On Jun 04, 2020
oyatz:
But several people on both sides have written their own accounts of the civil war e.g

Olusegun Obasanjo
Chinua Achebe
Alabi-Isama
Alani Akinriade
Chukwu-emeka Ojukwu
Fedrick Forsythe
Philip Effiong

And so on
The problem is others don't re emphasis the stories in the civil war like the igbos.

DuwaRepublic:
The biggest mistake Nigeria made was not teaching history in our schools, not having an official narration about the war and allowing the losers of the war to be the official narrators of the war.

However, this war happened 50 years ago. It’s not too late to treat those still suffering from PTSD from the war, let’s treat these people so they can stop being scammers, chest beaters, blind followers, self-loathers, and audio developers.
You should be ashamed, Nigeria was better than China and Saudi Arabia as at the time of the war, today... Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. House of 3rd and 4th most deadliest terrorists groups in the world.

Who is preventing government- with all their resources and Billy pulpit - from telling their story?

Perhaps they have no credible story to tell, that's why they have been silent or dumbfounded.


Iamgrey5:
The article never praised Biafra but outlines how Nigeria is not moving forward by not visiting and actually analysing what happened during and before the war.

The Article also noted that the one sided approach that Biafras have been using to tell the story is affecting the unity of the country since government has refused to tell their own side of the story.
Re: Nigeria Is Haunted By Its Civil War-- New York Times by Uchek(m): 10:33pm On Jun 04, 2020
Why don't tell us the activities committed by Biafrans
so that we can compare and contras?

Iamgrey5:
How do you conclude that Nigerian government did worst?.

Just like the Article clearly stated, the major problem here is that the only stories ever told about the Biafra war, are often only told by igbos.

Every other year another igbo releases a book on Biafra, but the war didn't just affect the igbos alone.

The government needs to open up and let everyone tell their own side and versions of the story.

These are the people whose interest in the war was oil.

A people who lost 30,000 souls in the most gruesome manner during pogrom will be mad if their priority is crude oil.

We were desperate for safety! For months Nigeria under Gowon could not guarantee that.

Our peace efforts at Aburi was mocked by Gowon when he divided a people into two without their consent!

Tell me honestly one thing that Gowon did during the pogrom in the north to protect the Igbos. A free for all killing that lasted for 5 good months.

Did he assist the eastern region in taking care of their refugees that survived the pogrom.

What was the effort of Gowon and Nigeria in ensuring that anger in the Eastern region was calmed.

Answer is NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
They killed 30,000 Igbos and none of the killer's was arrested. Shame on Gowon.
