Lool. I guess people here just come abd read headlines.This man is just saying he regrets fighting for Nigeria to be one, and is not issuing an apology for fighting against biafra or to Igbo people for their losses.In his own view Nigeria did not work out, that is his regret.How come you people know how to twist words so easily? Never read articles and jump to conclusion? People did what they thought was right at the point in time.We should not forget that when Nigeria was initially called for, Igbo's and Northerner's made it happen.So Yoruba's have nothing to apologise for.You got your wish, why the crying? Also, OnlyLies jump to conclusion here is sickening.One man's opinion is just that, an opinion.You need to get a life because your comments are veru ridiculous and daft.

PhysicsMHD:
It's a bit worrying that some people would distort simple English to fit whatever they want to hear. It's a sign of some sort of persistent delusional world view. The man never showed regret for being anti-Biafra or apologized for fighting the rebels. Rather, he said Nigeria turned out badly so multiple countries consisting of multiple ethnic groups might have been better since one unified Nigeria produced nothing to be proud of, in his opinion. Thus, he thinks the most important action of his life was a waste. Anyway, there could have been different countries after 1957, but that was nipped in the bud by a handful of people as passionate about one Nigeria back then as Akinrinade was in 1967. I wonder whether any of those people apologized either.

Blast kills 7 soldiers in Maiduguri
on JULY 7, 2011 · in NEWS

By NDAHI MARAMA & SUSAN EDEH
MAIDUGURI— MEMBERS of Boko Haram, yesterday, exploded a bomb on one of the patrol teams of the Joint Military Task Force on Operation Restore Order in the new prison area in Maiduguri in the process killing seven soldiers.

Commander of the Task Force, Maj.- Gen. Jack Nwaogbo, who confirmed the explosion said: “One of our patrol teams was targeted this morning by hoodlums around new prison, Maiduguri. Seven soldiers were killed.’’



Nwaogbo who added that a suspect had been arrested in connection with the incident, said: “We have arrested one of the perpetrators. My men are in the process of cordoning off the entire area as part of the initiatives to contain activities of the hoodlums.”

The commander said the bombers came on a motorcycle, threw the bomb on the patrol vehicle and fled through Budum road, adding that the entire Abbaganaram, Budum, Lawan Bukar, Galadima junction and Shehuri, and all the major streets leading to these areas will be blocked until the suspects had been arrested.

Some newsmen who tried to visit the scene of the blast were turned back by fierce looking soldiers who said: “My friend we don’t want to see any ID card, just turn back.”

A resident of Abbaganaram told Vanguard: “We couldn’t move out of our houses as people were running in all directions. When I enquired what happened nobody could explain, so we rushed in and locked our gates.”

The sect members were also said to have come through Bulabulin, shot sporadically in the air at the Customs area after the bomb blast to scare the people.

Traders at the Custom market abandoned their wares and fled the market because of fear of attack by Boko Haram members and intimidation by security operatives.

Revenge attack in Bauchi

Meanwhile in what could be described as a revenge mission after the police engaged members of the sect in a gun battle at Unguwan Kaura in Jahun ward of Bauchi State, Boko Haram members, yesterday, invaded Toro Divisional Police Station, sacked police men on duty before ransacking the station’s armour.

Vanguard gathered from an eye witness that the gunmen numbering about five stormed the station at about 8 pm and shot sporadically into the air to scare away people.

The gun men were said to have met an empty police station, as all the policemen on duty had run away leaving behind their arms and other belongings.

No casualty was, however, recorded during the operation.

Bauchi State Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Barau told Vanguard on enquiry: “no comment.”

I'm sorry but he is also at fault, knowing how crazy they are, he still went ahead and told them if they move their car they are fools. This goes to show we are not practicing true democracy
