CommonSense1967:
They were and eating human flesh like they still do today.

You don't have common sense.

Are you sure you are not on drugs?

richmond500:
This is not about Lagos, I am not even a Yoruba man, so calm down and engage me responsibly.
The first electricity utility company started in 1929, there is no way u will start having electric torches in 1930.
Remember 90% of Nigerian homes were mud houses with no electricity.
Also these are the kinds of items found in Nigerian homes in the early 80s, so why will there be stainless steel in the 30s?

There was stainless steel in the 30s and there was even expensive Mahogany in the 30s. Check those who were traders especially during WW2 and those who worked with the railways you will see it.

GeneralPula:
They were mining skulls, they were also eating each other ( cannibalism )..

There’s no region that had mined skull more than SE. Go read more about Clifford Orji..

Where did Clifford Orji mine the skulls? No be SW? For all we know who taught him? No be Una, you guys are the specialists in skull mining.

richmond500:
The first electricity utility company started in 1929, there is no way u will have electric torches a year after that.

But there was electricity generation before then naaaa. Why are you avoiding that fact.

GeneralPula:
They didn’t lie..

That’s not 1937. Op is just being Mischievous. Even the image didn’t include 1937..

As at 1937, your forefathers never dey wear clothings..

Zik was already in America at that time. There was DMGS already existing at that time.

richmond500:
All I am saying is that doesn't look like items u will find in Nigerian homes in the 30's.

Dude you guys are so irredeemable. These items existed in the 30s. I don't know what you guys gain from helping politicians in your region to cause divide and rule through tribalism? Go and show this to your grand father and he will tell you they existed.

AmalaAtiEwedu:
long before Ojukwu corrupted their tiny brain

You don't have sense

LegendHero:
You better no let me show the picture of your people in those period. Some of you never still dey wear cloth even as late as 1940s.

Let this thread just remain informative like this make we no derail am.

But Zik and Mbadiwe and the Eastern argonauts as they were called were already schooling in the US in the 30s. So why the revision of history and the lies from you?

LegendHero:
Most of Duckworth work are usually tagged 1930 - 1972

I doubt if that picture up there was taken in the 1930s. Duckworth himself was comer inspection of education in Nigeria between 1930 and 1953.

Some probably just took the photo and slammed a 1937 date on it to mislead the unsuspecting public.

Dude try and be sensible for once. That is the date range of all their collections. The picture clearly is a 1937 picture. Stop fooling yourself with lies.

Nomercie:
You know deep inside you how little you think of your father,while you call us slave for respecting our fada,everyone know who wake his fada with jet Lee style of king fu between Yoruba and Osu people

you know you are actually exhibiting the same behavior you are accusing me about. it is sheer mirroring

Nomercie:
We don't wke our fada with jet Lee kick style like Osu people

We respect elders here

same as you do

Nomercie:
Osu go and kick your fada as usual

As you kicked yours as well.

Nomercie:
I like it when I see Osudient crying

Skull miner. Go and lubricate your stomach with Hydraulic soup

Nomercie:
Osu in pain

Skull miner in pains. Have you lubricated your stomach with hydraulic soup?

Nomercie:
Osu is crying

Skull miner is pained .

Nomercie:
Say that to your father

same as you

Nomercie:
You can come and remove my village from Lagos State Osu

Taaa!!! shut up you are not from Lagos

Levels1:
Sure, my father needs sympathy

i agree

osuofia2:
Otti how far? He is still setting up minimum wage committee when others are already paying. Obidients are pathetic

How times would we hear Dapp Abiodun signing to pay minimum wage because this was not the first time since FG announced this.

Nomercie:
Oti mum Igbo,do I look like your fellow Osudient?

Try and be sensible even when you want to insult try and be sensible about it.

Namigotalktru:
Na so still quoting talking nonsense when you for waka pass because you had nothing useful to add smh

Oga try get small sense naaaa

Levels1:
sympathy is all my father needs right now for his current predicament

I agree with you.

Nomercie:
Who are the indigenes and who appoint them to speak for us?

First of all you no be lagosian

Levels1:
certainly my father is not a sensible man.

Smh. I sympathise with you.

Levels1:
No, it doesn't but I expect you to accord me same respect you give your dad , that's just it.

Dude stop overestimating yourself because you are not sensible enough.

Christistruth02:
Stop complaining and show us the original Gen Ironsi broadcast transcript you were talking of!!

Bring it let us see it !!

See guy stop being stupid. I placed the challenge on you. The burden is on you to prove that those third party publications you post are true so bring the original transcript. I asked it first.

BafanaBafana:
The man was already a general staff before Obasanjo came na. You guys should stop lying and believing your own lies.

Oga stop being daft. Obasanjo came in 1999 when was Paul Dike a General staff?

GBTYO:
Boro wasn't sincere in what way?

By being insincere you mean he was not ready to be subjugated by you Ibos ?

The thing about you idiots is how much you now believe your own lies.

Ironsi refused to court martial his fellow Ibos who brought him to power through the military coup of Jan 15 but was quick to setup a kangaroo court and try and convict Adaka Boro within a few weeks of his arrest by federal forces composed mainly of Ibo soldiers under the leadership of Ojukwu .

All the rubbish conspiracy surrounding Adaka Boro's death written by the OP are all pure lies. The most plausible explanation would have been killed by
a retreating band of biafran soldiers. Boro was on patrol in the area to weed out any straggling detachment of biafran forces that were driven out of the area.

Lastly , when did Ojukwu ever get permission to visit Saro-Wiwa in Port Harcourt Prison after he(Ken) had been convicted and sentenced to death? Last I checked this was the Abacha era and Ken awaiting execution in Port Harcourt would have seen him barred from recieving any visitor outside his close relations, lawyers and clergyman.

You idiots lie to a fault .

Again you don't have any iota of sense. If I ask you now to bring documented cases of so called subjugation you will be quiet. No one till date can bring any documented case. See he was killed in Okirika at the time he was killed there was no biafran resistance talk less of retreating soldiers as all the Biafran soldier had left for Aba.
Again there is no big deal with Ojukwu visiting Saro Wiwa after all Saro Wiwa would not have granted him audience if he didn't want to see him.
You are biggest idiot here because you cannot even deny any of my allegations with counter evidence. Oga have sense for once and don't be a daft.

nengibo:
Igbos can never be my problem, but I'll always respond to you, if you try to rewrite history, steal land, insult or lie against my people, fight your wars and stop your petty emotional blackmail

dude no one is rewriting history. Adaka Boro was not sincere in his agitation. He stated in his book that he wanted a Niger Delta republic of only Ijaws. Balewa used him to cause the same issue that led to the Western Region crisis to also happen in the east courtesy of Boro, but the 1966 coup put paid to that(we will never know the things that coup prevented).
Also note that after Balewa was assassinated and seeing he had no back up, he took matters into his hand and declared Niger Delta republic. the commander of the Nigerian army dispatched from Lagos to quel the agitation was George Kurubo an Ijaw man coincidentally and his 2ic was Major Obienu. He was tried in PH and was to be sentenced to death, but Ironsi commuted it to imprisonment.
He was released by Gowon and fought under the Nigerian army commando unit led by Adekunle. it was a known secret that Adekunle despised Boro and envied his popularity in the army. Boro's companions stated clearly that the gun that killed Boro was a Nigerian army standard issue and not a Biafran army rifle as the Biafrans were ill equiped.
Boro's experience is very clear, in agitation trust no one especially those who choose to pally with you to achieve their goal, you must know what their end game is, and if you are not to be used and discarded.
Willink's commission stated clearly that there was really no evidence of marginalization of minorities by igbos. it was all about power and selfish greed. Saro Wiwa is another case study, he schooled in Govt College Umuahia and became a prefect, he claimed he was marginalized, but couldn't provide evidence as his classmates were alive at that time. he forcefully took over a house belonging to the late Igwe of Nnewi, thinking he had allies in Nigerian government, and what happened later in his life? there was an Ohaneze meeting he attended in the early 90s, he came to greet Ojukwu and to mend fences with Ohaneze and the first thing Ojukwu told him that evening was " Good Morning Ken"

nengibo:
Lol you are the illetrate here, don't go and collect your brain from Namadi kunu

But the igbos are among the lower Niger tribes. You are the illiterate here

Salewa97:
Biafra war is yesterday’s message. The igbos were defeated with casualties running into millions with the Nigerian side declaring victory while Effiong (Biafra) surrendered and pledged to the Nigerian flag.

Ojuku came back to campaign for a Fulani Shagari in a blatant display of betrayal to the lost Igbo souls in the war. Why will a military leader that commanded a war suddenly come back and campaign openly for a progeny that slaughterered his people few years back. To what benefit? For political gains? That showed Ojukwu is a disloyal man and not an example of people with honor.

His people later dealt with him by making him lose the senatorial elections then as a show of their grievances towards his action.

If there is any Fulani slaves in Nigeria, the major title holders are the tribes domiciled in the South Eastern part of Nigeria.

From their ancestor Azikwe - Ekwueme- Ojuku - Ugoh - and etc up to this moment. Their offsprings are all still trapped within this nation continually bleeped by their Fulani lords while they cry daily for freedom from the shackles their ancestors once ignorantly lock them in.

Tueh!

You don't have sense.
