ladies should be themselves....stop wearing pads everywhere

Volksfuhrer:
Did you read my post at all? Where did I say the British were not complicit?



When you said Igbos committed no atrocities, I could only wonder at the level of propaganda you've been stuffed with.

If you are not ready to face the truth, I can't help you. Revelations of some of the atrocities that went on in the East came up in the Oputa Panel. Yes, they were not as great as the northern version, but they were mass killings all the same.

I would advise you to read Azikiwe's The Origin of The Civil War. He was honest enough to give account of the pogrom orchestrated against Northerners resident in the East, between August and September 1966 about a year before the war. But the massacre in the North was between September and October 1966. You do the math. Both sides were equally guilty!

if there was anything the then eastern region was guilty of, it was self-determination, fighting for survival in your own home. zik, though nationalistic, did great disservice to biafra. his political 'correctness' made him loved by the north, but disliked by easterners. he wanted to have both sides, Nigeria and Biafra.

Volksfuhrer:
Op, do some soul searching and critical thinking. Both sides were equality guilty of the bloodletting. The Civil War was unfortunate, but none of the parties involved in every incident that led to the war was innocent!

The first coup was no doubt a blunder, not because it "failed" as some would have you believe! It was a colossal blunder because it eventually became an NCNC coup, instead of a normal military insurrection. The NPC group saw through it, and the rest is now history.

The military was very well politicized, unbeknown to the few true professionals amongst its rank and file like the Nzeogwus. Ifeajuna on the other hand was a keen NCNC supporter; so was Ironsi, though he wasn't complicit in the plot but benefitted immense from the largesse of the NCNC all the same!

Nzeogwu and others who were not part of the NCNC clan thought they were partaking in a patriotic duty, not knowing they were being used by ifeajuna who masterminded the putsch.

And the results? Every high-ranking military officer sympathetic to the NPC group was killed. Every high ranking politician sympathetic to the NPC alliance was also killed. Nzeogwu fumed at the betrayal of his fellow conspirators who took charge in the south and labelled them tribalists! But by then it was too late, the wind had already been sown.

Now you moan that the British supported the FG. To whom did you expect the British should've lent support? To Biafra? You must be joking.

Get this, the British installed the Northern Oligarchs to preserve British interest in Nigeria. And if you must know, they also advised the North not to secede when they had their revenge coup, because of the newfound oil in the Niger Delta. Besides, the British at that time had become disenchanted with the group that decimated the political heirs to their erstwhile colony!

I repeat, the war was unfortunate! And this country would never heal from it if we continue to point accusing fingers on the North alone. Yes, the North committed humongous atrocities, but the East had their fair share of mass killings too, albeit on a smaller scale, of non-indigenes resident in the East just before the war. Perhaps, if the non-indigenes had been large enough, the pogrom in the east would have matched its northern counterpart. Morally speaking, both sides were simply guilty of genocide!

My apologies to those who find this post offensive, but the truth must be told without embellishment.

who made you custodian of truth? do not speak on assumption please. unbiased historians especially from foreign inks have proven the complicity of Britain and northern Nigeria to control the nation. there was no case of any genocide from the Igbos to ANY tribe in Nigeria in any scale. so take correction, and stop trying to conceal your biase.

wadetaw202:
Don't try to make excuses for selfish, self-centered and greedy outlooks of nzeogwu, ironsi et al. They shouldn't have been greedy in the first place. If they didn't do what they did, Nigeria would have been a peaceful country by now and maybe no Yoruba would have raised any eyebrow if igbos win elections in Lagos state. But that singular act by nzeogwu, ironsi and later ojukwu has raised suspicion about igbos and their motives.

young man I believe your history files are rusty. Google up pre independence attacks on Igbo's in northern Nigeria. 1953 case is a strong instance.

mulattoclaro:
just as your father.

the more reason you have a brain deficiency

mulattoclaro:
thunder fire you and Asari. Which igbo oil? The one your father probably left in the south south? The same Ikwerre, etche, opobo, igbanke, anioma or ukwuani that deny you people. I pity each and every one of you. The south south made a mistake by accommodating you guys during and after the civil war. If not you won't dare to say the rubbish you're saying. I can't wait for you guys to start a war again. This time I'll volunteer to join the Nigerian army and ensure you igbos are wiped out from the surface of the earth.

what a waste of e-ink! whoever typed this has a brain deficiency

madridguy:
Tell your fada to shut up for expressing himself. Omo ale

you are a waste of space, a waste of time, a brain waste, and a waste of sperm.

madridguy:
I don't even bother to read the essay simply because it does not merit it. Meanwhile I think the out-going Minister would have said HOW THEY ENRICH THE CABAL cos I don't think there is any policy by the minister to break the oil cabal wings....Thank God is completely over..
Never again will Nigeria have bad people as leaders.

Bless Jah for CHANGE
Long life GMB
Long life APC Nairaland chapter.

mr man shut up. U smell of ignorance, hate and bigotry. You didnt 'bother' to read it but you bothered comment. ...ebola...shioor...

Congrats adesina, you have made your outgoing and incoming president proud. You have made nigeria proud.

PassingShot:
You're a stark illiterate. Stop quoting me!

why are you offended. Mugu 101

PassingShot:
Do you understand the responsibilities that come with being a Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister for the Economy? Guy, if you don't know let me summarize it for you:

Whoever holds the two positions above is to be blame if the economy crashes. He or she will be praised if the economy grows too. Nigeria, according to NOI had to take loan to pay FG employees in April despite unprecedented earnings during GEJ's tenure!

Without needing to go into specifics, NOI is a comprehensive failure.

despite world crude oil price falls and economic downturn, nigeria maintained economic growth of 5% since 4 years, thus becoming africa's biggest economy. NOI is success personified. The world knows that. So you and your NL 'likers' should shut up.

Jorussia:
.kudos to akinwumi adesina.I saw no reason he wouldn't win,because he had the all needed support of the incoming president of his country, who even went as far as sending Atiku to go round the continent to sell his candidacy.Adesina was a good technocrat who made a substantial improvement of our agric sector.His election, is a lesson to us all,that in what ever position you find your self make sure you do your best possible. Unlike OKONJO IWEALA,he didn't have protest letters signed by Nigerians against his candidacy as the president of ADB.

...why not? Adesina is YORUBA...that's why there is no noise. Is IWALAIYE not YORUBA?

Constitutionally, NANS has no authority to stop zuma, but at least, zuma now knows he has to thread carefully. Big ups NANS!

simpleseyi:
You cannot abuse my parents, my tribe or my religion and expect a hug from me except you want to hug transformer. According to you, Awolowo committed suicide because he wanted to go and meet the over two million stubborn Nigerian Jews that he used for pepper soup. I really look forward to you Biafran fools starting another senseless war so that we can repeat the 1967 to 1970 genocide, remember that Obasanjo, IBB, Buhari, T.Y. Danjuma, Jereboy Oseni and other Ibo flesh eaters are still alive to have another suya made with Biafran flesh. I look forward to a hot plate of pepper soup made with Biafran flesh. IDIIIOOOOTS.

is that all you can contribute on this thread...curses and rants...? Sorry, this isnt '67, its '15, and trust me, the world powers will gladly watch us split.

[quote author=ionsman post=34136074][/quote]*pitying you from a distance*

peedeeasobie:
This is trash!
complete and absolute bunkum!

Even if a lady is stark naked, as long as she hasn't consented willingly to a mutual sex, there is no justifiable reason to rape her.

Threads like this help rapists to rationalize their evil action!

threads like this gives preventive measures to discourage rape, however, that is not to say rape is justifiable.

wia ojuiku family members or his children also affected by d starvation policy?

yes sir! The policy affected everybody. The only thing is that some starved more than others. Over a million people (esp children) amongst the several million starving populace (which also includes children) died. It affected everyone in biafra.

Weeping may endure for the night(Gej), but joy cometh in the morning(Buhari)......Thanks for the memories Mr president.Please when you get to otuoke,kindly get jobs for those trekkers.

mumu post. Thank God there are still sane people who dont think like you.

Awo himself initiated the starvation policy, and those it (kwashiorkor) affected most were children, because of the deficiency of protein in their developing bodies. Soldiers including ojukwu starved many times too. Because they were dogged and resilient in the war dosent mean their bellies were full. Read the accounts from both sides have a balanced view. Asking awo is like asking a cunny man to justify his cunning. Awo is dead pls let the dead be. Death came untimely for him too.

989900:
For those asking why we were against subsidy in 2011.

We were against it because;

1. We can't fathom how subsidy payments that never exceeded N200-N300b naira for the past years would suddenly leap to N1.3t (roughly 400-500% increase) within the first year thereabout of President GEJ -- we were shocked. #fraud.

2. We also could not fathom how any half-sane man could be drilling oil in his backyard, with 4 refineries in his backyard (with land and space to build more, and 11 licences issued already to build more), but still imports finished petroleum products. (OBJ and GEJ=culprits).

3. To the common Nigerian man, the only 'direct' benefit he gets from the government is, the so called 'subsidized fuel', which we later discovered to be a farce after all . . . so when you are going to take those extra litres/miles from him, or make him pay extra to get them, he has no choice than to revolt/demonstrate/remonstrate.

4. Unless you are among the 1% of the 1%, every other person on the street knows fuel scarcity goes along with insane inflation.

5. You ask him to make sacrifices while the president feeds on N3m/day and has 10 aircrafts in his fleet, his senators get paid more than their counterparts in the richest country on earth. Yet, they find it hard to pay same minimum wage paid in the poorest countries on earth!
How can we trust people of that ilk?

6. ATEOTD, subsidy was partially removed with promises of palliatives, and prosecution of the defrauders aka 'cabals', what did we get?Nothing, bar further fraud and corruption; from bribery scandals up to the speaker of the house (Cabal Otedola, well played) to mismanagement of the said saved funds from subsidy payments.

How can you trust such people?!!
Same people from the NNPC to the Petroleum ministry, to the CBN, to the Finance ministry, Budgets, both houses, up to the presidency that have no reliable database of how much oil is being drilled/sold per day, nor how much NNPC refines locally, nor how much we do consume/day.

stop all this your hypocritical 'sabi-sabi' talk. We know your type.

Indeed, you are A FAKE PROPHET, see your fake vision

Drabeey:
seriously, an IDIOT like u should be thrown back to school of retards to learn how to appreciate simple attitude people might potray. Let me tell u this 'Omo-Ode' That utterance you just made is as foolish as u are. Jonathan not able to curb this issue before it really got out of hand like this, shows more about his incopetence. Btw, no one should be blamed for his advasary. I told u about your foolishness because you blamed the APC for the problem a sitting president is experiencing. So boy, please you now see why its wrong of you to skip classes. GO BACK TO SCHOOL IDIOT!

i think you are the one who should go back to school. Not everyone, even here in lagos, is biased like you...not everyone is quick to attack gej like you sadists...learn to be civil and sincere . Brainwashed sadists.

Bolade005:
If you're still a fan of Mr Ebele, if you're still here shouting GEJ my hero, GEJ my mentor, you deserve to be slapped, whipped and castrated for not getting a mental and intellectual erection despite being seduced by the naked truth. The naked truth here is the fact that GEJ is a complete failure, the worst thing that has ever happened to Nigeria.

you are O.Y.O

See mumu thread, who told you jonathan left the debt of 60billion dollars? Do you read the news at all? Pls read the news properly before posting on this thread or replying me. Bad belle...

DiademSh07:
Don't worry, when yawa burst, you will soon carry your loads on your head back to your villages as witnessed during Lagos june 12 crisis! You can also put those buildings on your flat. head too!
Losers!

DiademSh07:
Go and die! Never do well greedy people should stop rewriting Nigeria history! Same way they lied that Ojukwu released Awolowo when Gowon did! Loser!

*continues watching your stupidity with amusement...*

DiademSh07:
That doesn't change the fact that Yorubas own those lands and you people are just immigrants who are just wasting money!
Bunch of losers!

wasting money...? *laughs at your hidden sense of intimidation* ...dont worry eh...we are not complaining.

DiademSh07:
You're a dumbo!
Which Lagos?
Before the ibo coup, was the western region governed by Ironsi? Was the Northern region governed by Ojukwu?
After the ibo coup which culminated into the death of Akintola, Ahmadu bello e.t.c death, Ironsi and his stupid ibo cronies took over every region and centralized power to the advantage of the ibos which is at the detriment of other tribes!
Bunch of greedy never do well eediots!
And you're talking of which Lagos? I repeat, it will never be well with you or any ibo who try to rewrite Nigeria's history!
Losers!

save yourself some data ink, you sound like a scratched record.

DiademSh07:
Which lands?
The land that goes back to the owner after 99 yrs?
Keep wasting your money. Bunch of losers!

wait till after 99yrs to collect it back okay? And that is if you or any of your miserable family are the supposed owners. First class mugu.

DiademSh07:
Look at this goat!
The same Ironsi that cancelled regional federalism and centralized power after Akintola, Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa and others were killed in the ibo coup held which capital? May thunder fire that stup!d mouth of yours!
Who were the beneficiaries of the coup if not Ironsi and his cronies?
It will never be well with any ibo who try to rewrite Nigeria history! Bunch of losers!

irredeemable fool...go and study nigerian political history from neutral pundits and stop vomiting beer parlour tales. IRONSI HELD LAGOS FROM COUPISTS...at least a simple google will help u, or has ebola affected your brain? Decomposed e-diot.
