Eziokwuegbuozoo:ol' boy, let's call a spade, a spade, jo! Ojukwu did not retreat rather he ran off and abandoned his people when he realised his own life was at stake. This was after he had sent millions of his people on a "chicken run" . Yes he lived but not to fight again as he returned to nigeria and sat at the same table (and in the same political party) with those whom he vowed "to only deal with on the battlefield" and who pogromised his people. But then, ojukwu's action was hardly surprising as these folks are known for their gross propensity to feed from their own vomit! |
jimrog:In some neck of the woods (in Nigeria), when a WARLORD abandon his people on the battlefield and took to his heels in the middle of the night, dressed like a tranny then he is said to be a HERO! As for the bolded portion above, Ojukwu never believed in biafra so wtf do you expect him to die for it. Biafra to Ojukwu was just a means to actualised his ulterior ambition but after sacrificing millions of his people to this end and realising that it ain't going to happen, he did a "Ben Johnson" to Abidjan leaving his people at the mercy of the enemy. |
honeychild:GBABE!!! That is ibo logic 101 there- they want to leave the contraption they help birthed but not without the golden goose. Very smart Alecs, i say. The poignant reality is that even when they get their biafra, they will still need to "hustle" among the people they claims hate and wants to annihilate them. |
laudate:I did and what you wrote was "the contemptuous disdain many of them had for other ethnic groups, " and i took the liberty, based on my own personal experience to include the yorubas in the group. Abi na lie? Anyway, my point was the thought that engulfed me afterwards.........kept wondering wth she was doing in yorubaland if she hates the yorubas THAT much? |
laudate:Thanks for the bolded above, o jare! Infact, my first experience of tribalism (in the countty) was from an ibo woman who went out of her way to express how much dislike she has for me - an 11yr old boy, simply because of my tribe. To say, i was lost for words will be the grestest understatement, i have ever made. The bigot was living in yorubaland and yet, still hating on yorubas! |
meccuno:And what is wrong with "these yoruba guys" defending their own..........when they perceived them to being wrongfully castigated ? Don't you guys defend your folks even when they have been caught with their greedy hands in our collective cookie jar? So it's okay for you to defends yours but others are not allowed to do same. Tell us, what does that make you? As for the bolded part of your post above, can you tell us when has the country ever been ONE ?................even as your impish leaders were grinning from ear to ear (like a satiated cat owner who has just given his cat, her favourite brand of cat food) chanting "One Nigeria". I would have thought that you folks will be over the moon at the events extantly transpiring in the country as it can only culminate in her eventual break-up, which was what you guys wanted ever since July 1966 when it finally dawned on you covetous and greedy souls that the domination your leaders promised us, is not about to occur anytime soon or even in the forseeable future. |
0monnak0da:GBAM!!! Indisputable truth! |
This is why i tag these Igbos as groosly myopic in the sense that even if they get their Biafra tommorrow, they will still need to sojourn in our land for sustenance., |
djevino:Ibos have been threathening to leave lagos nay yorubaland for eons but on the contrary more and more of their folks are running over to the same region they just love to denegrate but which is their saving grace. When we get fed up and relocate some of their miscreants back to their ostensible "Land of thexrising sun", they start foaming in the mouth like a rabid dog, wailing One nigeria- i should be able to live wherever i wish in the country. The bottom line is, you ibos will never leave our land ...........even on the pain of death. |
SakuraSimiola:But you expect us to believe you represent us? By their narrative so shall one knows them. Am sorry to say it but surely, you 're definately a Igbo |
wolesmile:@ bolded.................................exactly! Absolutely nada. All the more reason to swap the inconsequential, mere commissioner, hypocritical dwarf and unchristian-like pastor for the young girl. Am certain, were he to be in her shoes, he will have immediately changed his name to Mohammed idris osinbanjo. |
GoroTango:But of course, it’s only online brouhaha, however the FACT of the matter is that thousands of innocent southerners have been gratuitously slaughtered by your so called “illiterate and ignorant” northerners yet you somehow expect the victim’s families and friends to embrace northerners with open arms! Oh well, i guess it’s surely your prerogative if you choose to bury your head in the sand. Isn’t it instructive to note also, that, since the inception of this pseudo united country, your ostensible “illiterate and ignorant” brothers have always been willing tools at the hands of your political elite and leaders to behaviours grossly inimical to our well-being? Meanwhile, justice has never been seen to have been served!!! It goes without saying that southern Nigeria too have its own social problems including the ”illiterates and ignorant” ones within their ranks but can you point to an instant when these miscreants had descended on your brothers with such ferocity and barbarity that have come to be the hallmark of your people’s expression of “love” for us? There’s absolutely no reason whatsoever for us to remain a nation as it’s evident that there is no unity in the country, has never been (since her inception) and would never be so why belabouring a glaring fact? Are we joined at the hips? So why the hell must we remain united (sic!)? As per your option of war, oh well, bring it on. No one has got the monopoly on violence. We can only predict the advent of war but no one can foretell how it will end. |
GoroTango:Old boy, no pun intended but it never cease to amuse me when Nigerians talk about unity. Has that nation ever been united since her creation? I think not When a white man in faraway Denmark drew a non-complimentary but apt caricature of Mohammed, our so called brothers in the north in protest, set upon their innocent southern brothers slaughtering them in their hundreds. What about the aftermath of 9/11 when bush jnr. decided to invade Afganistan in search of Osama bin laden? Our so-called northern brithers(?) in protest again set upon us, sending many of our innocent folks to an early grave. I could go on and on as myriad examples abound where you northerners are quick to slaughter us fellow nigerians at the slightest opportunity however whenever we say , enough is enough, then you all will start chanting "unity". What flippin' unity are you referring to? There's no flippin' unity in that country. We all loathe each other and sooner or later like a structure built on quicksand, this dumb contraption will fall. |
ariesbull:You guys will certainly be improverished without One nigeria. No wonder, it was only Zik and his kins that were clamouring for a united country...............even as the northerners were unambigously expressing how much they detest you lot. |
ariesbull:Na your greed go kill una. If the locals now tried to restrict your grip on their economy, you impish lot will call them tribalist and igbophobic. |
Igboid:Please, present your stats here |
ariesbull:Thanks for admitting that your local economy is inadequate to satiate your needs hence you see the need to covert other region's economy. Simply put, you folks needs Nigeria much more than Nigeria needs you. It was under the ruse of one nigeria that an iboman tried to become leader of yoruba affairs. How else could he have done it? Even ojukwu whilst supposedly fighting to help his people form their own country still found the need to try and over-run yorubaland. |
Igboid:Abeg, present the "available stats" here for us all to peruse (like DL had just done with the election result of 1951 in western nigeria). Even free education, zik could not provide for his people though when Awo initially suggested the notion, the former and his clueless and incompetent sidekicks mocked him however these same people who have no concept of shame and a proclivity to eat their vomit, migrated in droves to yorubaland chorusing "One Nigeria" just so they could partake in the free education that Awo (whom they just love to hate) had set-up with his people' s fund to benefit primarily his kith and kins. That senile hate-filled bigoted man that penned that piece of junk, he called "there was a country", claimed that by the mid-60's, his tribemen had wiped out yoruba's lead in the educational field but the inherently mischevious git failed to eluciadate on how his tribesmen accomplished such a feat. |
Throwback:@ bolded........................ GBAM!!! LOBATAN!!! One just can't win with these people. what a greedy and conflicted tribe. |
LZAA:Nna , wetin koncern me with Brazil? My point is you guys are all over yorubaland like locusts yet wouldn't desist from calling us names and wishing all manner calamities on us. However when we send your hate-filled, bigoted, myopic m.o.r.o.n.s. back to your cursed land, you all will start shouting , "Haba! in one nigeria "............ Your eze that got hot lashes of koboko to reset his d.u.m.b brain in akure must have probably missed his way to the former national capital , ba? |
LZAA:Funny enough, I have never been to the east and i have no intention of going there, either wtff? Btw, i inferred that "most" and not "all" your able-bodied men are sojourning outside your region. Naturally, there will be some left but those ones are patiently awaiting their oppotunity to leave their barren homeland to hustle for their fortune among the people they claim hates them and whom they are not entirely gond off, either Shame is obviously an alien concept in your neck of the woods else younlot won't come online yapping about how you "developed" your enemies' region. |
LZAA:Oh so, it's now one (fake) nigeria? But you folks claim that the yorubas are your enemies and you therefore have no love for them either which is understandable but what i still can't fathom is why you all are hell bent in developing the region where your acclaimed enemies reside in? Meanwhile, your region is deserted as most of your able-bodied men are all over yorubaland in search of sustenance. |
But Op, one question that keeps invading my consciousnesswhen i read threads like yours is, "why is it that ibos will go to unimaginable ends (die) just to "develop" their enemies' land than their ancestral land"? Abi, na curse? |
Strikethem:Haba, which kain qwestion is that? You think it's a walk in the park to 419ed 3 milion albeit emotionally gullible folks to an early grave like mofo did. Plus, he returned from exile to marry his god-daughter who was an olosho on her last fxxx-by-date. In some clime, these are admirable legacies ![]() |
sarrki:@ bolded...........Be ni o!!! But our brothers(?), east of the niger are still propagating their diabolical claim that they were only trying to set us free from the shackles of the northerns whom they sold us all to in the first place, in their customary greed for power. |
igbodefender:And after googling, are you NOW able to produce the election results which shows conclusively that Zik and the NCNC won (or were about to win) the 1951 regional election in yorubaland which therefore necessitated the so-called "carpet-crossing"? or.......................... |
igbodefender:Ok , forget Nigeria. Wtf did the slimy did for his own people that Awo didn't surpass for the yorubas? The yorubas were right in rejecting the slimy git but you miserable souls are still bleating about it ( 7 decades after). |
igbodefender:Abeg, JSTFU! And who has never heard about the lies you guys bundled together after losing out on dominating the yorubas in their own region. Bloody thieves! All am asking for is the election result that shows conclusively that the greedy covetous ibos were about to win election in western region before the so-called carpet crossing occured. |
PFRB:And what exactly did Zik "put in" for Nigeria? |
Thanks for bringing up the speech. However, I don't see how his position "changed dramatically" as you put it. Bear in mind that this speech was made in 1967 and the west did not enter into the war until later. Now put your sentiments aside and ask yourself why his position changed. Comon, it's not rocket science now, was it ? When Awo noticed Ojukwu's rag-tag soldiers heading for yorubaland after having already over run the mid-west region and foisted a fellow Igbo on the locals. It was obvious what fate ojukwu had in mind for his so-called yoruba "brothers" Not to mention how ojukwu dropped bombs on yorubaland killing innocent yorubas whilst looking for hausa/fulanis to avenge on. |

You sef, check am well.
Chinua Achebe did not sow the seeds of hatred in their minds, like you claim. Those seeds had always been there, right from the end of the civil war. The contemptuous disdain many of them had for other ethnic groups, (most especially, yorubas) had always been a part of their outlook. All Chinua Achebe merely did, was to put it in writing....
