Do you expect an engagement from me?

Sorry, I don't do babies.
Thank you.

If the Awo’s had anything to do with the Rothschild, how come Awo proposed what they hate to hear most - secession clause to be added into Nigeria constitution? After Pa Awo proposed that clause, he came enemy of the Jewish British… He was rushly sent to prison and then they annexed some part of the western region, just to reduce his influence… You mentioned something about Mid-west… Can you expatriate why you believe differently?

As for Awo’s policy… Before Pa Awo’s policy, all the foods Nigeria was sending to Biafra, it was Ojukwu and his goons that are cornering them, including their soldiers. So, there was already hunger in Biafra even before Gowon met with Pa Awo to seek his advice. In that war, none of Ojukwu’s family, his goons and their families died of hunger..

Pa Awo’s was not exalted to status to god by press, instead, it was his work & the things he did that elevated him up. You can’t start a free education, without you becoming one of the most significant human..

When people say these guys have nothing upstairs, some educated airheads will reduce it to tribal bashing. They won't see the sincerity of those lampooning Tinubu & APC.

Ask him/them who were the cabals that want to destabilise Goodluck Jonathans regime, where they also people doing forex round tripping and subsidy beneficiaries since those things was not removed by Jonathan?

Tinubu is a willing tool in the hand of foreign Islamists jihadists who want to destroy this country by force of arms. They are sponsoring the terrorists who have not hidden their mission. They made it clear Nigeria is their patrimony given to them by their god to conquer and possess.

Is that too hard to see?

Tinubu, you have been very dishonest all the while. You guys have been looking for a chance to loot Nigeria dry and you are doing it brazenly with your brothers as you see this coming to Aso Rock as the golden opportunity you guys have been looking for.

Stop the lies.

And for those that represent him to write these lies, one word for them................

I rest my case.

You have been noticed Mr., you can now go play with your mates.

It was Ojukwu that reneged on Aburi

Ojukwu fed you with Propaganda lies through out the War

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTizQJ29wsI?si=aGXoVQUm-uvDZJNW

They also told a man who is not a war monger to renege on the agreement reached at Aburi that would have averted the war and he agreed.

DomPerignon:
They were very much aware on the possible outcome and fallout of the ibo bloody and selective coup.

The foolish ones where those who thought they could get away with what they set to achieve without any blow back.

How did I know? I am not a baby. How did the French oil interests enter the fray after the war? When did Total and Elf become part of the oil industry in Nigeria with very heavy investments? That we all level up in niaraland does not mean anyone you meet here is a kid. Thank you.

Kukutente23:
How did you know this

And the Rothschilds told the northerners to start killing Igbo people, right. The Rothschilds also told Gowon not to stop the blood sucking mobs from attacking the innocent Igbo people, right? That brain is meant to be used.

DomPerignon:
You guys will see the truth but it will always be rejected by you.

The entire Jan 15 coup affair to the civil war was orchestrated by the Rothschild family.

This is how the Rothschild make their wealth and it has been through sponsoring both sides in a war since the days of Napoleon.

I know it is hard for you to digest the fact that a Rothschild was behind your suffering.

Have you asked why Israel was sending you only kosher biscuits while secretly arming Nigeria ?.

Have you asked why the US refused to intervene due to the powerful Jewish lobby that has it's tight grip on that country?

This is the Rothschilds we are talking about who are credited with seeing to the establishment of the modern state of Israel following the Balfour Declaration that is in a glass case in one of the Rothschild family estate libraries.

They profited from the sale of your people during slave trade era and massively benefited from your sufferings during the civil war but you still worship them.

That's the propaganda you were fed. Did you read from Ojukwu? No No No. And what you heard from Gowon is the absolute truth? I can see how smart you guys are. Continue.

lawani:
Why did Biafra lose the war? Can Biafra win again after Bonny, Calabar and PH fell to the 3 Marine commando? Any other resistance after that was just to mark time. Biafra's fate was sealed when they drew the west and Midwest into the war and the 3 marine commando set sail for Calabar in response. When you have no industrial capacity and all or most of your ports had fallen to your adversaries, it will not matter much again who is helping you.

Hightablevoice2:
No one is a saint when it comes to war affairs..As they says victors writes history and not truths. But there maybe an iota of truth as to what Gowon was claiming and I will point out why.
From the onset General Ojukwu was not particularly an illiterate who wasn't aware of how world politics works and having come from money and belonging to one of the most affluent family in the country then, his close ties to a powerful family like the Rothschild can not be too far-fetched. Not only for their banking connection but also for their influence over war and how much power they control in the world then.. a deal might have been made and it is safe to belief they were only going to support with money and not majorly weapons or ammunitions.

While the narratives from his side might have been that he couldn't make a deal beforehand as they wanted the Biafran resources, in hindsight it does seems and sounds sketchy because the fact supports it that those were the only cards he had on the table to make any viable deals then. And he knows that, terms may not have been met but most definitely a deal was structuring with the french. Because it wasn't because of their benevolence or they like freedom fighting in particular that they will want to agree to any deal. There terms was 1, to retain their control in Africa, 2, diminish the anglo African states and 3, control the resources.. they wouldn't even lift a finger if they didn't see any of these being a possibility in the first place. While they may mitigate their risk and exposures, they are quite certain at least 2 of these terms will be met before they started offering aids. So it is quite possible there was a deal of some kind that was in place.

While I do belief Nigeria as a country is trying to move past these part of our history it hasn't been thoroughly addressed from all sides., but I will just point out that there are two major key factors that records shows why the war was lost. As to why it was fought, the question still remains. Why after Aburi when there could have been peace, but for sake of better argument let's just say it was the resources even though it wasn't at first, but later became a factor..

Now contrary to belief it wasnt for lack of man power or lack of international support that Biafran lost that war. General Ojukwu lost the Biafran War to one man tactical involvement, and that was to Awolowo's tactics and not mainly to Gowon as a military head of state so to speak.

Records shows when General Ojukwu after realizing the stand Biafra could make and were already making, it was clear initially victory will be imminent in securing the Biafran sovereign state. Their cause was justifiable and they had the resources and man power to back up their claims. But after Aburi, things took a wild 180 degree turn in the wrong direction. The question still remains what happened. The simple answer was territories and dominance, not just about resources. Ojukwu wanted the whole Southern part of Nigeria, and cut out the North entirely out, these Gowon will not be made aware before but only after the Aburi meeting. That was why he was so furious and was ready to launch the full scale police action if Ojukwu should declare Biafra.

Before the War. Awolowo has been arrested and has lost most of the Mid Western Territories to the Ibos. Particularly one place, Bendel, which later became Delta and Benin. These territories while separate from the Western Region was in some way an extension of the Western Region. Bendel is rich in fertile land, good agro both land and rivers, very exotic and deeply rooted in the livelihood of the Western states, economically, and in terms of wealth distribution among the two territories.

With Awolowo imprisoned the Ibos have already moved in on Bendel state, politically annexing the Mid Western states to their territories.. Now with Biafra amassing forces, Ojukwu knew he could take on the Nigerian army, he was a very high level commander already in the Nigerian army so he knew their strength. But he needed an ace in the hole, the project to take Biafra out will only work if the other major region also agrees to secede and leave the Nigeria state, and isolating the North entirely. At these point Awolowo's whose freedom is also part of the deal from both sides, that is the Nigerian state and the Biafran people has a decision to make, and when message got to him that they do not belief General Ojukwu intentions was to stop at Bendel alone, but has already has forces in Ekenne, and will likely push through some other Western Territories, it was clear that the Biafra end goal wasn't just Ibos territories alone, but it will only be a matter of time they will match on Ogun, through Benin and Ondo and eventually match on Lagos.

With the firm grip the Eastern Region already has on the Mid Western Regions, Awolowo immediately saw no need to back Biafra anymore but immediately withdrew from the original deal citing that he believed the Biafra forces will not just stop their but will likely annex more territories as they were already in Ekenne, a stonethrow away from Awolowo's very own Paternal home, as at then it was not just enough buying Awo compliancy with his freedom anymore by the Biafran, but he saw it that it will be viable to agree with the Nigerian government.

These development and belief then was widely circulated among the Yoruba Monarchs, the major Yoruba families, and Major Baales and traditional rulers who became the mouth piece of the news that Ibos wants to take over Yorubas lands... These narratives, while very private was communicated through every major traditional ruling houses across the Western Territories, eventually it led to the shift which immediately shut the Biafrans out from the Western Region where in some ways they were already gaining popular acceptance. Even until today, these issues still looms. Some say Awo betrayed Ibos, Yorubas claims was Ojukwu was greedy.

Awo never accepted the deal with Biafra. So when he came out, he decided to take back the whole pie from Biafra hence his reason for choosing to work with the Military government of Nigeria then under the alliance of a continued indivisible sovereign state of Nigeria. Being part of the people that fought for the independence, Ojukwu was not only a distablizing factor to the established order but also to the unity they so much fought to secure in the first place, and majorly seen as a major threat to the dominance of the Ibos over Yorubas. These fear and impression that Ojukwu does not intend to stop with Bendel alone, was a major concern among the Yoruba leaders as they have so little present in the military then.. which leads to the second factor that determined the outcome of the war.

Upon his freedom, when Gowon asked Awo's advice after having offered him freedom as to what can be done to totally weaken the Biafra forces, Awo gave the deadliest KILLER ADVICE , since the Nigerian army then wasn't particularly making any real progress during the second year of the war or so and it was clear the Nigerian army in the field with the Biafran were both present, Awolowo's proposal was to fight them the Biafrans with Hunger and Starvation. Block all major access to Food supply and if possible bomb certain bridges, block the airspace and connect with the international community that this was a conflict within the Nigerian system and they should limit their involvement. These was accomplished exceptionally that within Months not only were the soldiers starving, but general population of the Biafrans were so badly hit with malnutrition that it was clear that their body or their spirit one is going to break and it's only a matter of eventuality. Their persistence in the war, lead to the popular belief that the Biafran were so much hit with starvation that they eventually engaged in cannibalistic behaviors while it was never proven, but it is a stigma that still plagues some parts of the Ibo communities until this day. And thus the war was concluded, Effiong surrendered and the civil war was over.

Awolowo's own personal vandeta came out when Gowon said Ibos should be made whole to their full reimbursement of what they had before the war and the rebuilding of their major cities, he crippled them and set them back 20plus years by actually given each person 20pounds, one pound for each year.. while some people claim Awolowo was misappropriately informed towards General Ojukwu"s plans and the aftermath of the 20years set back plan as it was generally alluded too was unnecessary and unjust, his archives thus shows he was acting on the best interest of the Western States, but be that as it may we can see for a fact both North and South West are totally against the idea of Eastern domination. To them it is too much of a big risk.. and that same narratives still plays out in our national participations today.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you know why I laughed?
It's becos suppositions are not facts.
I don't know how old you are but so many of the books you guys read about Ojukwu are actually not exactly as you people were led to believe.

First, show me a rich family in Nigeria, pre colonialism & post colonialism that did not have anything to do with the Rothschilds East, West, North & South. They traded in slaves, commodities, gin, gun powder, etc. The Dantatas, Odumegwu's, the Awolowo's, the Iburus, etc. The Rothschilds own UAC with its conglomerate, Standard Bank, LBG,,,which includes insurance, shipping, etc, before talking about the Rothschilds banks. They sent Cecil Rhodes to south Africa and the rest is history. They own the diamond trade, oil and gas, just name it. The Rockefellers are an extension of that octopus. They own standard Oil group and a host of others worldwide. So bringing that angle into the discuss is out of it.

We all knew the role the British played with the active participation of the crown which crown is a puppet of the Rothschilds. As the meeting was going on at Aburi, agents of the British government was giving them the details of the negotiations . The British embassy in Ghana was privy to the agreement and a cable was sent to their home government who instructed their embassy in Lagos through the high commissioner to reach Gowon to renege. They used Philip Asiodu and Paul Unongo to play the ethnic minority card. All these happened through the British embassy in Lagos.
Permit me to ask you, how will Ojukwu fund a war when the hastily declared Biafra lacks recognition from the countries that matter? Do you think that arms supply from the black market is enough to fight a war? See my dear, leave propaganda alone. The odds were against Biafra from the onset but the young men were more idealistic than realistic.

Awolowo did not implement a policy that made Biafra lose the war as his policy targeted civilians. In fact that policy attracted more sympathy to Biafra as the images of children suffering from kwashiorkor and looking like sticks made headlines allover the western press. In fact the government of Harold Wilson lost election as a result. Leave the western Nigeria press that exalted Awolowo to the status of a god. They lie like Satan.

Something hilarious in your comment is the purported annexation of the Midwest. This comment alone, shows you lack basic understanding of the Midwest itself. The key actors in the coup, where we're they from? Igbo land where did it start & where did it end? We are talking about Biafra territory which includes other ethnic nationalities & not just Igbo. So to bring that into the discuss is really not very smart.
I don't want to go into the other things you touched as they are irrelevant to the talking point.

Gowon has written his book, hope we will read Ojukwu's memoirs very soon though he has gone, I strongly believe he has put some things down being a man that studied history to master's level. Above all my dear, after over 50 years, we are still stuck at the same point without making progress. In fact we have greatly retrograssed. How do we move forward in the world development indicators?

That should be the concern.
Thank you.

Convenient excuse to hide from reality staring before our very eyes.
Is Ojukwu around to defend himself of the purported agreement with the French branch of the Rothschild banking family?

For those that knows the truth, it's obvious Gowon is lying. If his position where to be true, why did Biafra lose the war since same Rothschild also control of the British & American political/business establishment?

The French approached and wanted the oil wealth of Biafra before they could officially help. They demanded total control and a contract that will last for many years. The young patriotic officers refused such second slavery to another foreign power.

France finally helped in sabotaging Biafra.

Since Gowon wants to play the ostrich while the middle belt burns with Plateau in particular bearing the brunt of the attack, let him go ahead.
Afterall we all are witnesses to what is going on in Nigeria after Nigeria celebrated the defeat of Biafra. Hope Nigeria is now an el-dorado.
Folks, you be the judge.

Shut it up.
You are wishing the lie to be true. For your information, those were protesters moored down by the basiji they moved out of morgues & placed at the school so as to deceive simpletons like u that they were victims of American & Israeli bombing.

SuperEagles:
And you clowns know usa n isreal slaughtered over 160 Iranuam girls in their school. If what is wrong with you is not a curse I wonder what it is.

Appointing a dead man is stupidity. Let's see him address his country on real time video.

Blu bala bala blu buba must see this.
Emilokan emilokan must act now.
Don't worry folks, he will root them out.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sophisticated for nothing.
The only wise man who knows Chicago inside out.
$450,000 is nothing to forfeit.
Ooooooh City Boy.
He knows what he is doing.

They are not born again. They may claim but the Bible & experience says otherwise.

I don't believe that.
Could be staged managed to give false impression of equal attack on Muslims. We've seen that before.

After killing over 160 Christian people in a Kwara village & sacking the entire place cuz they refused to convert to Islam, you guys want to push this useless lie to balance the evil you guys did.

Pls what is his name again?

Don't tell name checkers ooo.
E get why?

Na dem.

Even old sick women they don't care.

But Hin go do time & next is .........airport.

Why do you want to sell it?

I blame those that give this adult child platform. A first class illiterate that knows no shame but bent on displaying his stupidity, will be being his kinsmen nothing but disgrace.

Always seeking attention and wanting to remain relevant is the dying desire of shameless foooools like him. Just like a mad man, it's his relations that die slowly of his unclothedness at the public space.

Orji is stupid.
A clown bereft of wisdom.
But always seeking public attention.
Ndigbo should ignore him.

And he didn't see another space to call his useless press briefing but freedom park. Same place he & his gworo chewing brown teeth Fela's met to protest removal of subsidy by GEJ regime.

He supported a criminal who forfeited close to $500,000 to the American government, proceeds of drug trafficking, to become president having rigged himself into office. He said nothing because he was his tribesman. With all the misrule by same man, he still says nothing. If it were another person destroying the country as Kilimbu is doing & same person named a national monument after him, he would have rejected it citing morality & principle. But since Na him brother & it's awalokun, no comment, no protest.

Let him go and meet his fellow Ronus & useless urchins let them give him visa to America. When their hired tugs were misbehaving & destroying properties & he was silent, does he think Americans are not observing his complicity?
Let the tribalists face his palavar & leave us alone.

Ndigbo has suffered in Nigeria.
People that are miles behind us are having a voice.

What we have achieved they will not achieve in the next 100 years. They are the ones using our young men to play Ludo.

Mek dem no worry.

Goodluck to them.

I no get power to talk about their Mata.

We still de do coastal road.

Pls just stop.
It's simply gaslighting to cover for their terror attack. Muslims are testing the waters by their unruly behaviours in the UK. And if they feel the law will protect them, they are grossly mistaken. They've been warned repeatedly that as they are stoking the Amber's of hate, one day, they will reap what they are sowing. They better take those words seriously.

Sorry to ask ooo.
Is it the one said to be written by D. Lawrence or something?

Keep up the good work.
One day folks like you will be celebrated at the international space.

malali:
International law must remain the compass. The directives of the ICC (International Criminal Court) and the United Nations are binding frameworks, not optional suggestions.

To describe the situation merely as a ‘war zone’ is reductive. What we are witnessing is an unfolding genocide, overseen by an individual, Netanyahu, who stands accused on the world stage as a perpetrator of international crimes.

Under such conditions, the people of the region, and the broader international community, reserve the moral and legal right to challenge an illegal blockade and to render humanitarian aid directly to the Palestinian population.

International law, right?
Clap for yourself lawyer.
You guys will be quoting international law as if they were made by angels and not men who belong to nation states.

Does international law override national.security when international law threatens national security?
When international law threatens a nations national security, which law takes precedence?

Some of you will be writing without deep thought.

Are they serious about that?
If yes, but I doubt it sha, they know where to start.

Hope somebody did not check names ooo.
My hand no dey ooo.
