You are funny. Taiwanese military did not promise to move heaven and earth. It was China that threatened the US, and US dared them. China should have hit Pelosi's plane with a projectile or one of the US military bases around them. Or they could have sent one missile into Taiwan, and see if all hell will not let loose.

I am not underestimating the Chinese military but they have certainly not got to the point they can challenge the United States. They can only bark but not bite.

The US that were literally chased out by rag-tag Taliban?! Abi another one?!
The only thing stopping any mega war is the nuclear deterrent. Forget any US bullshit.

Parkji:
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT RUSSIA SAID.
WE WILL TAKE OVER UKRAINE IN 3 DAYS

NATO should enter the conflict na. Putin has challenged them to try him in the battlefield. Ukraine is simply a drill for a bigger war with US and the puppet NATO.

Missiles were fired into Taiwan's waters.
Chinese jets flew past the median line with no response from the Taiwan airforce.
What sign of cowardice do you need again?!

emmyileri:
Didn't you say the same thing about Russia and Ukraine? For your information, Taiwan's military is highly formidable coupled with geographical advantages just like Ukraine. Because they are not making noise doesn't mean they are cowards, it's just that not everybody value peace

Strong military being encircled like creche toddlers?!

timay1:
It definitely will Affect Korea and Japan , if a war breaks out. Because those two countries are the closest to China and from the logistics point of view, they are the best place for USA to launch an attack on China from, because those two countries are literarily the US colony, they are currently not independent. Which means , those countries automatically become part of the war.

And it can go nuclear with North Korea lurking in the corner.

Sadly, Taiwan is not China. China is communist, Taiwan is democratic. Taiwan collects its own tax, votes for its own president, has its own passport, has its own military. It is entirely self ruled.

No one can dictate to the US. Pelosi dared China and there was absolutely nothing they did about it apart from shooting missiles into Taiwan water. Such a waste

And the Taiwan military did what?! Do you know the military implication of that action? The Taiwanese know better. You can see the President looking for a descalation.

The U.S. should lean back on this Taiwan issue. It might affect Japan and South Korea if care is not taken.

Wahala for SAED

bros u sef reason am na, after all the wahala wey buhari don cause us, na wan blaq wey dey more civil society pass our hell hole go cum b our problem?

That's the problem of Nigeria
Disturbing ourselves with the headache of pple better than us
Even with the war, Ukraine is better than Nigeria
Then a sensible person will start fighting over Russia and the U.S.
You're super right

dchamp234:
My brother you said it all, this is the summary of what is going on, our people are just to foolish and let this strangers pit us against each other because we don't know what we want.
Another is waiting under the umbrella.

Pathetic to note that other southern tribes will vote for him instead of their fellow Southerners because of needless hatred.
My first choice is Obi but if he doesn't get it let it go to Tinubu despite his baggages.
We can't be slaves forever.

Omolara Odetunde wants to rule Abuja but her Afonja urchins don't want the Igbos to even vote in Lagos talk more to aspire for political office.

The sons of Oduduwa and double standards.

Buhari and Tinubu happened to them
End this country ASAP

May God not allow hustlers to spend on the wrong woman

Igbojew:
Oga shut up and don't involve Igbos in your so called indigenous rubbish cos when Igbos or Prophet Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was warning and even keep on warning you people about this impostor called Buhari what did you people do, instead of you people to pay attention to Igbo warning concerning the impostor Buhari rather you people united to kill and annihilate from the face of Earth because you people hate their guy and resilience.........I am that Igbojew the table shaker

I sent you a pm

The big problem of Nigeria is that it has been under the control of strangers. The indigenous peoples are stupidly fighting themselves while strangers are plundering the homeland.

EMEKAodogwu1:
A reply to those shameless, aimless , foolish folks defending this foolish act by the govt of Buhari by saying that US gives assistant to other countries.
First, what is Naira to compare with dollars ? Do you know that if the US want to give Nigeria a 1b dollars they will just print it. Can same be said of Nigeria ? Can we print #1B and give to Niger ? No because that will not benefit them in anyway. I can assure you that the assistance was rendered in dollars .

Second, when the US wants to help you with military hardware they do it from their in country companies. And that’s a way of spending money in the country to increase economic activities .

You see forget all the degrees being acquired by Nigerians more than 70% are educated illiterates . Too gullible

They are simply paid hacks. This has nothing to do with their education.

No need to widen the issue to irrelevances
Here we are discussing TWENTY POUNDS
Did the Government of Nigeria confiscate money held in accounts of Eboes. Yes or No?

Why try to muddy the waters? One reason

There is no evidence for that

So just cause confusion by talking about 100 things

No need for that

Did Nigeria seize money of Eboes held in banks?

Evidence?
Simple

That did not happen
One is curious to know how or why Ikwerre people , Efik , Ibibio, Ijaw , Anang, Ogoni and every other group from the erstwhile Biafra never make this claim

We must conclude
a) only Eboes had money in banks
OR
b) there was a system for separating the accounts of Eboes

All this happened and it was NEVER reported in ONE newspaper
Chinua Achebe and other Eboe intellectual NEVER wrote a single article about it
Ojukwu NEVER talked about it?
Did Nigeria make any law or decree to support this action

Now are we also to believe that there is not ONE surviving passbook from the whole of Biafra of a person denied access to their money

This shows that you are lying. Achebe wrote about the 20 pounds issue in at least two books, The Trouble with Nigeria and There was a Country.
Oga Lie Mohammed go and sleep
Awo's children can't defend their father. So stop wasting your time. Don't bother to quote.

aribisala0:
Evidence

You folk operate on sentiment and emotion

What evidence do you have?
Awolowo tried to defend himself?

He set the records straight and the records are there
So rather than say IT happened

Tell us WHAT happened

What is this IT that happened

What exactly?
Did Nigeria pass a law authorizing the seizure of money in Eboe bank accounts? Yes or No

Nothing happened but he tried to set the records straight according to a Yoruba man.

If you're ignorant and sincere to learn, please go and read' Time to end the bad blood between Yoruba and Ndigbo' by Femi Aribisala
Thanks.

aribisala0:
Guy Ojukwu's house was a matter between him and Lagos State government
State Governments do not control Banks. That is a different matter
Do you have evidence Ojukwu's money was seized

My whole mission on this thread is FACTS AND EVIDENCE

Already you are accusing me of hatred because I do not buy your tales


NO EVIDENCE ?? Then it did not happen

Let us look at the facts of your claim

You say your uncles LOST THEIR MONEY

Tell us more.

They went to the banks and were denied their money? On what basis.What did the banks tell them?

The truth is that many of you have been lied to by these uncles and so on

I do not need to chat privately

My issue is of the millions of Eboes from that time till today

NO ONE has brought out a passbook of an uncle, father or grandfather
NOT EVEN ONE ? Haba!!

So did Nigeria pass a law or how exactly did it happen
Even today if government freezes account it must be by some law or court order.
Barclays was a British bank it could not have acted without a decree or government instruction
You are telling us this was not recorded in any newspaper
It is very difficult to accept that the people you have always know as parents were adoptive in a similar way Many Eboes and their relationship with Nigeria is based on this twenty pound story.
It is hard to accept that a story you have believed all your life is a lie but that is exactly what it is
So my mind is open to evidence. The reality is there is no evidence ANYWHERE that the Nigerian State seized the money of Eboes

So what happened to the money of Ibibios,Efik, Ikwerre, etc
The Eboe narrative of
They seized our money and gave us twenty pounds now look at us are we not great is just a psychological device to manage the trauma of the war and make you feel better about yourselves
No one seized any money

Mr. Man, it happened. Stop peddling falsehood. Even Awolowo tried to defend himself.
I'm done talking. You can as well deny the Civil War.

aribisala0:
What happened to Eboe money in the Banks.

I can tell you are young

How many banks were in Nigeria in 1966
Do you Know their names.
Do you have an Idea how many bank branches there were in the whole of Nigeria in 1966?

The simple question is this
Is there ONE

Repeat
Is there one Eboe man that you have ever met in your life that has shown you a bank passbook , photograph or photocopy to say
This is my bank document I was not allowed to get my money

JUST ONE >
Have you ever seen any newspaper article with that claim

JUST ONE

The reality is on this thread we have dismantled all those lies
Yes people might have lost their banks books but surely NOT EVERYONE

Now did Ojukwu ever make any statement that his money in the bank was seized
Chinua Achebe was the official propagandist of Biafra did he ever write anything like that

So tell us the name of ONE PERSON , ONE EBOE PERSON who was denied access to his savings and how much was seized

This is not about ranting but evidence

I expect you, like those before you to run away and avoid this thread because the truth is IT DID NOT HAPPEN

My grand uncles had accounts with either Standard Bank(now First Bank) and Barclays Bank(today's Union Bank). They lost their hard earned money. If we can chat privately, I will give you the name and address of the surviving one for you to check for yourself. He's kept the passbook because he wasn't lucky enough to get the so-called 20 pounds. Ojukwu's money and houses were seized, he later recovered the houses from Lagos State after a protracted court battle.
Just leave your hatred and live your life.
History revisionism won't take you anywhere.

Ovamboland:
So one person will come with 1m Biafran ojukwu pounds and demand to be given 1m Nigerian pounds. What will CBN do with the Biafran pounds it will collect? Use it to pay for imports or experts working in Nigeria? Will any Ibo accept biafran pounds as a settlement from CBN?

So want to give CBN monopoly money and collect real money? You have been practcing fraud a long time ago and claim it as a right

Stop being clever by a half
Igbos had money in banks before the war started. Hope you are not denying that? That money was never Biafran Pounds.
I understand your pain.
After seizing Igbo money, the same Igbos are buying you up from Lagos, Ibadan to any place in Afonjaland.
It is really sad.
As for Awo, what Portable did is an apt summary of his 'legacy'

nigeriancritic1:
Igbos are still paying reparation in kind for starting that war

Which war did they start??

Ttalk:
Stop defending useless spending of Buhari government at a time when Nigeria is rated as the most poorest in the world.

Charity begins at home, Nigeria is in such a parlours state that every Kobo is needed by this country to better the lives of it's citizen.

What exactly is the relationship between Nigeria and Niger and not Chad, Cameron, Benin or Ghana, could it be truly fact that Buhari is from Niger Republic?

Buhari is from Niger Republic, that is not a topic for debate.

TheRealestGuy:
Lmao. Its Yoruba culture and has nothing to with the general meaning of the word respect.

In some cultures prostrating before anyone who isn't God or one's parents is a taboo but that doest mean they're disrespectful- it's simply CULTURE.

Meanwhile I've never understood the concept of contesting for a royal stool - quite baffling cos royalty is supposed to strictly by blood and any royal father or mother should know who is next in line while still alive.

The concept of making it a contest may attract unwanted and corrupt elements into the process (which may inform why so called kings of today aren't more than stooges without any of the highest regards that royalties were held in in time years past).

Monarchy must not be dynastic
We're all human beings
The only thing is that maximum checks should be made to avoid criminals taking over the system

Fulani population is not more than Igbo population.

U have time to answer rubbish talk. I'm not sure if the Fulanis are up to 8 million in Nigeria.
The Igbos are not less than 45 million in Nigeria.
