We already know that Jonathan never saw anything wrong with stealing.

Intact, he was even disgusted that Buhari's military regime jailed Jim Nwobodo for stealing money ($5.1m) not enough to buy Peugeot.

My only surprise is that he is not languishing in jail yet.

All I see is a MiddleEast man playing the MiddleEast Jesus.

devindevin2000:
Pumping oil from Aba to Enugu. Afonjas, can you now understand there's oil in SE?

What manner of illiterate is this?

Just like Ondo and Lagos, Imo and Abia are already recognised Oil producing states even before Lagos attained such economic status.

A fact that has no bearing on this news of sabotage of petroleum products pipeline which can only carry refined products coming from refineries in Warri, PH, or Kaduna.


And why the needful hurry to justify yourself to the Yorubas?

The girl doro fine.

Everything the minister said sounds logical.

However, he that has alleged should come with evidence. And it is good that the minister is not accepting anything less than a law court review of these allegations.

Estacode is not a crime if it is rightly approved for the useful purpose and at the already established rate.

Apparently the accuser has also been collecting estacodes having been on some of those trips with the minister.

Ultimately, I think it is time somebody goes to jail for libel and character assassination in this country, to serve as a warning to beer parlour and social media accusers.

Until PDP asks for forgiveness for the wasted 16yrs, they will never smell power at the center again.

PDP will avoid their own mess.

But it keeps on following them about like fart.

Igbophobia will lead you into the arms of herdsmen.
Be wise.

Lzaa onyeoga

If other Nigerians suffer Igbophobia, do Igbos then suffer Fulaniphobia, Yorubaphobia, Ijawphobia, Edophobia, Hausaphobia, Kanuriphobia, Igalaphobia, Urhobophobia, Tivphobia, Jukunphobia, Ogoniphobia and as many phobias that can be attached to the many tribes in Nigeria that the Igbos hate and love to gloat about their misfortunes?

Or which tribe prefers to spell tribe names such as Fulani, Yoruba/Yorubastard, Awusa etc.

Is that a phobia on the part of the Igbos or it does not qualify to be a phobia since the tribe at the receiving end is not Igbo?


Enlighten me with the wisdom of the ever just and ever right Igbos.

Since you quoted him, why didn't you just answer the straightforward question?

Why do Igbos always shed crocodile tears and play victim when they were the ones to first organise a premeditated bloodshed and sustained humiliation of their fellow citizens right in their own native region?

Also can you please state the reasons Igbos are always so jubilant to celebrate any crisis in the SouthWest, SouthSouth and North Central. Also any notable politician or personage from the aforementioned region who is remembered posthumously or otherwise on this forum, always results to bickering and hatred from the Igbos.

Ahmadu Bello, Murtala Mohammed, Awolowo, Akintola, Ken Saro Wiwa, Isaac Adaka Boro, Clement Isong,T Y Danjuma, Paul Unongo, Gowon etc.

These are some of those whose mention is always berated by the Igbos.

You are fighting with the whole country, yet you lament that you are hated?

Obdk:
since wen did u become anti apc.


my fren shut up. you re apc zombie..
seems u guys ve been activated against buhari

If I was an APC zombie, I would not consider Buhari useless.

The problem with parochial and partisan sycophants like you is that you are still hurt that the useless PDP and Jonathan were swept away. Guess what? I am happy you remain hurt and miserable. You care nothing about the country, your only care is about your party and preferred candidate being in power.

I stand for a responsible and corruption free government that PDP never offered and neither is APC offering.

imhotep:
Afonja APC diehard supporter spotted

lzaa onyeoga

Me! APC supporter?

I supported anything that will destroy PDP and rid us of them from their kleptomaniac hold on power.

Same way I support any alliance that will rid use of an equally useless APC.

I am not a party sycophant like you.

I reckon Awolowo should be the one doing good morning to his political contemporaries like Azikiwe who wanted a forced nation without any avenue for secession of the component regions.


Kindly avail us with the fire and thunder excerpts that TY Danjuma spat over Nnamdi KANU and his illegal security service?

Who also supervised the killing of a country's prime minister and regional premiers while their own region was left untouched and their political leader was safely away from the country?

Who was ever ready to gloat to the faces of the natives, telling them they killed their leader like a sallah ram, and they will soon do more to finish the job and reminding them with songs and machine gun sounds?

Why are the Igbos always overjoyed with a state of anarchy and crisis?

What is the excitement always about?

That you were right to have wanted a separation your own foremost political leader ensured would be an illegal and treasonable venture?

slightlyMad:
I still don't think dangote's wealth is well deserved because all he did was use government influences to amass them, this includes otedola.

These are the guys that helped make cheap buildings on banana island cost 600 million naira, more expensive than luxury house in California.

Talk of making money you really didn't work hard for, just connections.

If Dangote did not work for his money over more than 2 decades he has been notable in the business circle, then I reckon he stole it and became an overnight billionaire?

We all know what business sectors Dangote operates, and like all true entrepreneurs, he tries to dominate and monopolize the competition, while ensuring he remains in the good books of any government of any tribe. He is both political and apolitical. He is Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba/Ijaw/Igbo whenever the need arise. He understands that he has a diverse customer base who are the ones that continue to put money into his pocket.

Most importantly, he is neither proud nor boastful, nor does he claim to have been the reason why any development was attained anywhere. In staying humble those who are above him exalted him till he rose above them. Ultimately, making more friends and less enemies.

Learn from Dangote, and you will be successful too.

Are you telling me that Jim Ovia did not come to Lagos from his village in Delta with awesome wealth?

So he came to Lagos to develop himself financially, and not that he came with his village wealth to develop Lagos?


Kenekings and his fellow clansmen need to see this Lagos wonder. Always lamenting that their brothers should return home to invest as though the money they have now in Lagos was brought from the village. Meanwhile, they root themselves in Lagos, afraid to return to the barren lend they forsook, yet are clamouring for others to return.

Jim Ovia has made his wealth in Lagos and he has paid his tax and dues to Lagos. Those who are in the village and are not happy with his progress should come force him back to his village.

I am surprised no gigolo has been able to find his way into Linda Ikeji's life.

Instead of Tee Billz relocating to America after the fall out with Tiwa Savage, he should have warmed his way towards Linda Ikeji, seeing that he is comfortable with the status of a kept man.

tobida:
Leave God out of this.

HausaFulani are abusing the absolute power and control they find in Nigeria thanks to the middlebelt who are ready and willing tools.

We should leave God out of it, while the Christian girl that has stuck with her religion and God, continues to hope that God will one day at his leisure and after marathons of prayers from Earth, summon the courage to act.

hammer6F:
Middlebelt and Yoruba, never forget your tribe the Yoruba.

What about your Igbo tribe that was their partner in 1960 and 1979?

Even the 1993 elections where Abiola a Southerner and Tofa a Northerner contested, 3 SouthEast states out of the 4 that existed then, voted to have a Northern president Bashir Tofa.

Never forget your tribe the Igbo.

Who never mind partnering with the North to betray a Southern alliance, but are always ready to scream traitor whenever any other Southern tribe does same as the historical precedents the Igbos set.

The saddest part of this tale is that even heaven is also a spectator, waiting to see the outcome just like spectators on earth.

If I hear say God destroy boko haram because of 1 single Christian girl who has more faith in her God than he has in himself.

Buhari, Nigerian government and God, are all good at being useless. All are spectators in matters that should be their primary task.

While the devil is ever ready in waiting to be blamed.

A criminal has got away just because the government refused to follow the law in their arrest and prosecution of the case.

Why not land the sledge hammer on their heads now?

Why wait till another one?

This country and government is beyond useless.

I cannot blame you.


If being outside ensures you never have to slave for another man who has ensured all his children and assets are in a foreign country, and only comes to Nigeria to rape it mercilessly for the benefit of his family who are citizens of a sane society abroad, then you have only asserted your right to freedom.


However, Nigerians destroyed Nigeria.

Any sane society receiving Nigerian refugees should ensure they do not become a cancer to that thriving host society.

TheKingIsHere:
Why wouldn't he bring the attention of Donald Trump to this when Buhari the moronic dullard has tagged anyone that speaks negative about his government as hate speech.

I trust US, let anything happen to Bill Gates, the whole linage of that mor0n called Buhari will be wiped out.

We all know Buhari is dull, but he is not as dull not to know that he must limit his governance to Nigerians only.

The kind of picture Reno Omokri painted about the Buhari government does not exist (yet).

Why the unnecessary brewing of a storm in a tea cup by Reno Omokri with his call out to Trump and the US embassy?

This one is a very wicked and cruel politician who has fattened his family but will not pay a labourer his due wage.

sekundosekundo:
Go back to school .

Obviously you need the education more.

sekundosekundo:
Which tribe empowers them most?

Which tribe empowered the North to federal power in 1960 and 1979?

Which tribe tried to empower the North to power in 1993 instead of voting for a Southerner presidential candidate of SDP?

How can a government be congratulated for allowing such to even happen in the same heavily militarized sector of Yobe-Borno?

How can security forces previously stationed there claim to have handed over to the police yet there is no documented transfer of authority?

Why is Nigeria so useless?

Why are we Nigerians such useless humans who are grossly incompetent and deliberately lackadaisical with jobs that are not our own private economic enterprise?

All the touted politicians who could contest for the next presidential elections are as useless as Buhari and Jonathan. Who cursed this country with such a high density of uselessness within the same space?

If I had the power, I will round up every Nigerian globally and dump them back in their country, and ensure visas are not issued to the country called Nigeria to even step into Benin or Cameroun or Niger.

Not until you trap everyone inside the same crazy space, before the necessary purging of our insanity will occur.

But some people were so adamant and ready to bet their life that she is the sister to Ebuka's wife.


I really despise people who have no facts to their argument, yet continue to insist someone is who they want her or him to be, or that the person's age must agree with their own opinion.

Deadlytruth:
Here it is below. It is very long on account of its being very detailed in order to put an end the lie that Zik won and Awolowo used tribalism to deny him of victory.


First Nigeria Regional Elections:
Western Nigeria 1951 Elections
Matthew Mbu and history:
Ambassador Mathew Mbu is a well-
respected Nigerian. But in this piece,
veteran journalist, Mr Felix Adenaike
challenges some of his claims about
Nigeria's past 'Falsehood may have
its hour, but it has no future' -
Francois D. Pressense
In what seemed his 48th
independence anniversary gift to
Nigerians, Dr. Matthew Tawo Mbu,
politician, lawyer and diplomat, gave
The Nation an interview run in its
October 1 edition addressing some
political issues in Nigeria of which he
had been a key player. Among
others, he spoke on the Western
Nigeria election held in 1951, two
generations ago, and repeated the
claim of the National Council of
Nigeria and the Cameroon (NCNC)
that it won that poll, but had been
robbed of victory. Then as now, Dr.
Mbu did not provide any evidence to
substantiate the NCNC claim.
Dr. Mbu said of that election held on
24 September 1951 that: "Dr.
Nnamdi Azikiwe was betrayed by the
Western Region of Nigeria, not by
the electorate, but by the leaders.
The NCNC won the election against
the Action Group (led by Chief
Obafemi Awolowo), but the Action
Group introduced what was
unknown to Nigerian history",
namely, "carpet crossing. They
Action Group bought members of
the NCNC to join the Action Group
after these people had won election
on the platform of the NCNC. Zik, the
leader of a majority party in the
Western Region became the Leader
of Opposition overnight".
Reminded by the interviewer that the
late Chief AMA Akinloye had
maintained in his lifetime that he
and his group had contested the
election on a neutral platform from
the NCNC, Dr. Mbu said: "That is his
version. He is entitled to say what he
wants to say. I don't want to say ill of
the dead. He knew he was NCNC and
his group was NCNC. Adelabu
remained NCNC. He stuck on to
NCNC till he died".
The late Dr. Kingsley Ozumba
Mbadiwe said in his autobiography,
Rebirth of a nation, among others
that: "But in pursuance of the policy
of creating a political climate healthy
enough to make one a citizen
wherever he lived, Dr. Azikiwe
contested and won the general
elections in 1951 into the Western
House of Assembly. To stultify this
policy of one Nigeria in favour of his
tribally-based philosophy, Chief
Awolowo got some elected members
to cross carpet from the NCNC to his
AG side. Zik the victor lost. And
Awolowo's party was able to form the
government of the Western Region."
At a news conference in Lagos on 20
September 1989, more than two
years after Chief Awolowo's death,
Dr. Mbadiwe returned to the topic
saying: "Dr. Azikiwe and his party
won the majority of seats in the
Western House of Assembly. He was
due to be elected the Leader of
Government Business, when
overnight, the Action Group
introduced the notorious carpet-
crossing. By this manipulation,
members who won under the NCNC
crossed over to the Action Group
building it to become the majority
party in the West. As a result of this,
Chief Awolowo was elected Leader of
Government Business and Dr.
Azikiwe had to resign."
Neither Dr. Mbu nor Dr. Mbadiwe
named the members of the NCNC
who contested the election on the
party's platform and later joined the
Action Group to enable Chief
Awolowo form the government to
the exclusion of Dr. Azikiwe. These
are weighty allegations such that
they would have assisted their
readers to clear the issues rather just
repeat their own version of the
events at that time in the hope that
such repetition would turn
falsehood into facts.
To avert conflicting claims over
candidates, Mr. Harold Cooper, the
Government Public Relations Officer,
wrote to the parties to furnish a list
of the candidates contesting election
on their platforms. Only the Action
Group complied with this request
and its list of candidates was as
follows:
1. Ijebu Remo Division - Obafemi Awolowo and M.S. Sowole;
2. Ijebu Ode Division - S.O. Awokoya,
Rev. S.A. Banjo and V.D. Phillips;
3. Oyo Division - Chief Bode Thomas,
Abiodun Akerele, A.B.P. Martins, T.A.
Amao and SB Eyitayo;
4. Osun Division - SL Akintola, JO. Adigun, JO Oroge, S.I. Ogunwale, I.A. Adejare, J.A.
Ogunmuyiwa and S.O. Ola;
5. Ondo Division - P.A. Ladapo and G.A. Deko;
6. Okitipupa Division - Dr. L.B. Lebi, CA
Tewe and SO Tubo;
7. Epe Division - SL Edu, AB Gbajumo, Obafemi Ajayi and
C.A. Williams;
8. Ikeja Division - O. Akeredolu-Ale, SO Gbadamosi and FO
Okuntola;
9. Badagry Division - Chief
CD Akran, Akinyemi Amosu and Rev.
GM Fisher;
10. Egba Division - J.F.
Odunjo, Alhaji A.T. Ahmed, CPA Cole,
Rev S.A. Daramola, Akintoye Tejuoso,
SB Sobande, IO Delano and A
Adedamola.
The others were as follows:
11. Egbado Division - J.A.O. Odebiyi, D.A.
Fafunmi, Adebiyi Adejumo, A. Akin
Illo and P.O. Otegbeye;
12. Ife Division -
Rev S.A. Adeyefa, D.A. Ademiluyi, J.O.
Opadina, and S.O. Olagbaju;
13. Ekiti Division - E.A. Babalola, Rev. J Ade
Ajayi, S.K. Familoni, S.A. Okeya and D
Atolagbe;
14. Owo Division - Michael
Adekunle Ajasin, A.O. Ogedengbe, JA
Agunloye, LO Omojola and R.A.
Olusa;
15. Western Ijaw Division - Pere
EH Sapre-Obi and MF Agidee;
16. Ishan Division - Anthony Enahoro;
17. Urhobo Division - WE Mowarin, J.B. Ohwinbiri
and JD Ifode;
18.Warri Division - Arthur
Prest and O. Otere, and
19. Kukuruku Division - D.J.I. Igenuma.
Of the names on the list, only MA
Ajasin from Owo Division, which
comprised Akoko then, did not run
because of party solidarity and unity
in Owo. He stood down for A.O.
Ogedengbe and R.A. Olusa to contest
two of the three seats, which they
won, while D.K. Olumofin won the
third for the NCNC.
Three secretaries of the Action Group, who ran as independents and won were:
1. Egba Division- Alhaji D.S. Adegbenro
2. Ekiti Division - J.O. Osuntokun, and
3. Epe Division - S.O. Hassan.
At the close of polls on 24 September
1951, the Action Group had won 38
of the 72 seats in contention out of the total of 80 in the Regional Assembly. The shortfall was due to the fact that elections had been postponed in Lagos and Benin due to security concerns. Lagos had five seats in the West Regional Assembly all later won by the NCNC in the election of 20 November 1951, while Benin had three all later won by Otu Edo candidates in the election of 6 December 1951.
Of the 68 candidates on the list furnished by the Action Group to the Government PR
Department, 38 of the elected AG
members were from that list, and were as follows:
1. Ijebu Remo - Obafemi Awolowo and M.S. Sowole;
2. Ijebu Ode - Rev. SA Banjo and S.O. Awokoya;
3. Oyo - Bode Thomas,
Abiodun Akerele, ABP Thomas, TA Amao and SB Eyitayo;
4. Osun - S.L. Akintola, J.O. Adigun, JA Oroge, S.I. Ogunwale, I.A. Adejare, J.A.
Ogunmuyiwa and S.O. Ola.
Other elected AG members from the
list were:
5. Egba - J.F. Odunjo, Alhaji
AT Ahmed, Rev. S.A. Daramola and
Prince Adedamola;
6. Egbado (now Yewa) - J.A.O. Odebiyi, D.A. Fafunmi and A. Akin Illo;
7. Ekiti - E.A. Babalola
and Rev. J. Ade-Ajayi; Badagry - Chief
CD Akran and Rev. G.M. Fisher;
8. Ikeja - SO Gbadamosi and O Akeredolu-
Ale;
9. Ife - Rev. SA Adeyefa and SO Olagbaju;
10. Owo - AO Ogedengbe and RA Olusa;
11. Epe - Safi Lawal Edu;
12. Okitipupa - C.A. Tewe;
13. Western Ijaw - M.F. Agidee;
14. Ishan - Anthony Enahoro, and
15. Warri - Arthur Prest.
In addition to the Action Group and
the NCNC, there were local/divisional
parties such as the Ibadan People's
Party (IPP), led by Chief AMA
Akinloye; Ondo Improvement
League, and Otu Edo of Benin. At the
end of poll, the standing of the
parties was as follows:
1. Action Group - 38;
2. NCNC and its loyal Independents - 25;
3. IPP - 6
4. Ondo Improvement League - 2.
5. Otu Edo candidates won the three
Benin seats, namely, Chief SO
Ighodaro, Chief Humphrey Omo-
Osagie and Chief Chike Ekwuyasi.
Chief Ighodaro opted for the AG,
while the latter two went to the
NCNC. And of the six IPP elected
members, only Adegoke Adelabu
joined the NCNC. The rest of them:
AMA Akinloye, Chief DT Akinbiyi
(who later became the Olubadan of
Ibadan), Chief SO Lanlehin,
Moyosore Aboderin and SA
Akinyemi, opted for the Action
Group. The NCNC National Secretary,
the late Chief Kola Balogun had sent
declaration forms to the IPP
assemblymen asking them to declare
for the NCNC but Chief Akinloye
returned all the forms uncompleted.
The three AG secretaries who had
run as independents - Adegbenro,
Osuntokun and Hassan, five IPP
members, one Etu Edo, and one
Ondo Improvement League, Chief
F.O. Awosika; and Chief Timothy
Adeola Odutola (Independent, Ijebu
Ode) had swollen the number of the
AG elected members. All the
transactions had taken place before
the inauguration of the Regional
Assembly on 7 January 1952. These
were not known members of the
NCNC, nor did the party publish their
names on the list of its candidates,
but claimed them as its "members,
supporters or sympathisers",
according to inimitable Zik in his My
Odyssey, " It takes more than
speculation to claim a person as a
member of your political party". You
cannot just be under the
"impression" as Zik had claimed that
they were and go ahead to field them
as electoral candidates.
For over a
half century, the NCNC is yet to
provide evidence to back its claim
that it had won the West Regional
election in 1951.
Mr Cooper absolved his department
of responsibility for the controversy
generated by the NCNC after the
election. At a post election news
conference in Lagos he said that "Of
the winning candidates, the names
of 38 were on the list sent to me by
the Action Group. The six successful
candidates at Ibadan were all among
those who had been identified to me
as representing the Ibadan People's
Party. No claim of any kind had
reached us about the party affiliation
of the remaining successful
candidates." Why did the NCNC not
send a list of its candidates for the
poll to the Government PR
Department before that poll? And
why have Dr. Mbu and the others not
published the list of NCNC
candidates to substantiate their
electoral victory claim in over 50
years but merely kept reaping false
claims? The records of the poll
conducted in the West and all over
Nigeria by the colonial administration are available at the National Archives and can be accessed by any honest researcher.
In this matter, it is facts that speak,
not what some political/ethnic
partisan said or did not say.
Dr Azikiwe's frustration was not only
in losing the regional election, he
also lost the election to the House of
Representatives held on 10 January
1951 at the House of Assembly, Ibadan, among NCNC members. The total tally for the 1951 poll in the 80 member Western Regional Assembly was as follows:
1. Action Group - 38;
2. Independent/AG - 15;
3. NCNC - 24;
4. Independent/NCNC - 3.
Three
members of the NCNC who had been
elected to the House changed party
allegiance that day ahead of the
House of Representatives vote. They
were: Chief SY Kesington-Momoh, JG
Ako, and Awodi Orisaremi, from
Urhobo and Kukuruku Divisions.
They were running for the House of
Representatives and wanted Action
Group votes. Kesington-Momoh and
Ako were elected, but Orisaremi went
back to the NCNC. That was all the
carpet-crossing that took place on 10
January 1952, namely, three at first
to the AG and one back to the NCNC.
From the vote tally, it is clear that the
NCNC and the Independent /NCNC
totalling 27 seats altogether out of
80 seats could not have formed the
Government of Western Nigeria.
Even if the local/divisional parties
had chosen the NCNC, it would still
be some seats short of 41 required to
form the government. The Action
Group won 38 seats; its independent
candidates - Adegbenro, Osuntokun,
Hassan and Odutola won four seats
making a total of 42 seats. The AG
could have formed the government
without the support of the other
small parties. It did not have to
"bribe" anybody to join it to form the
government. Since politics is a game
of number, only few principled
politicians would not be disposed to
joining the winning party, in this
case, the AG.
Dr. Mbadiwe also claimed in his
book: "Successful NCNC men who
were not Yoruba were scared away.
Dr. Azikiwe who won a seat to the
Western House (of) Assembly from a
Lagos constituency decided to resign.
Since membership of the House of
Representatives was by an electoral
college in the regional house, no
NCNC from the West came to the
House of Representatives in Lagos".
This is blatantly false. Zik resigned
because he lost election to the
federal house from the West, while
Prince Adeleke Adedoyin, Dr. Ibiyinka
Olorun-Nimbe, Chief Frank Oputa-
Otutu, Chief Denis Osadebey and Sir
Odeleye Fadahunsi were elected
from Ibadan to Lagos. Who ever
scared non-Yoruba NCNC people
from the West? Chief Denis
Osadebey succeeded Adegoke
Adelabu as Opposition Leader in the
West and the likes of Humphrey
Omo-Osagie, Festus Okotie-Eboh,
Chike Ekwuyasi, Fidelis H Utomi, Obi
Osagie, Yamu Numa, GO Oweh and
GB Ometan were non-Yoruba NCNC
in that Assembly.
As Mme De Stael says: The "search
for the truth is the noblest
occupation of man; its publication is
a duty". Dr. Mbu and his political
entourage have chosen their own
side of history. It remains to be seen
whether or not history will absolve
them. Their contemporary audience
is composed of intelligent people
who will search after the truth
without inheriting the political
prejudice and stereotype of their
lying grand-parents. That is the way
ahead for Nigeria. And "the greatest
friend of truth is time; her greatest
enemy is prejudice". - CC Calton

Nice to have this record again.

I believe it was put together by the late Chief Ganiyu Olawale Dawodu, who remained a top grassroot political mobiliser within the AD of Lagos state, before he fell out with Tinubu and formed the erstwhile Progressive Action Congress (PAC) but lost the governorship election as its candidate to Tinubu's reelection in 2003.

It hurts many so much that the Buhari they were mocking and gloating at last week, has been able to secure a victory that has brought them agony.

Why are people so determined to be miserable over a negotiated return of the kidnapped girls, when the victims and their families are so happy and grateful?

It took Jonathan 3 weeks to admit that the Chibok kidnap was real. He lost the opportunity to redress the situation fast, by sticking his head in sand and hoping the incident will pass away, but the international media were determined to reveal how useless a president we had.

Even the current Buhari is also a useless hypocrite.

Guestlander:
You capture so much with little words. I doff my hat to you sir. This is the straight up truth about the ibos in Nigeria.

They are looking for empathy.

They want me to have empathy for a tribe that gloats after it has inflicted death and agony on others.

I have learnt to be as vile as my enemy.

DejiSantos:
It's sad that you have many of our compatriots.

Trying to rationalise the starvation of our children.

It's disgusting.

Trying to blame it Ojukwu. Kmt.

Who should it be blamed on?

Were the children starving as Nigerians or was Biafra even attacked after it declared itself a sovereign state?

Who dared to venture into the others' territory?

Was Ojukwu not the ruler of Biafra who should have the welfare of his followers at heart the moment he realised that Biafra had been strategically and technically defeated since 1968 and not the Jan 1970 that they surrendered without Ojukwu?

Yes I blame it on Ojukwu and rather than even surrender, he ran away like a heartless coward to avoid the death he committed others to, both military and civilian.

The coward ran away with his well fed and healthy family and also did not forget his favourite car.
