chosen04: FYI, Soyinka wasn't a beneficiary of that charade product. He even reconfirmed it from the link you posted by saying "that he benefitted from it at the TERITARY level. Please don't tell me that you don't the meaning of teritary level as quoted by Soyinka?

Andre Uweh: Prove me wrong that the weapons did not cause massive havoc on the opposing side. The weapons were manufactured locally and the team that produced the deadly weapons was led by Prof Ezekwe..
Anyway, since you are here to learn, Prof Ezekwe was later hired by the U.S. Gen Babangida recalled him from the U.S and made him a minister in 1997.
He is my hero. Take it or leave it.

Andre Uweh: Dude your post here is totally irrelevant to the topic. The thread is about forgotten Biafran heroes. And I replied with Eng Ezekwe and his science and research institute that caused massive destruction of enemies. Later I included pictures of the results of Prof Ezekwe's team.
They are our heroes.
Go and start your thread with your own heroes instead of displaying stupidity here.

wole soyinka: TWENTY-SEVEN years after,
memory of Africa’s laureate
history came alive on
Wednesday, as the first African
Nobel laureate for Literature,
Professor Wole Soyinka,
repeated the feat as the first
ever Obafemi Awolowo
laureate.
Soyinka, who was honoured
in 1986 in Norway as the first
African Nobel laureate, was
inaugurated as the winner of
the inaugural Obafemi
Awolowo prize for leadership
by President Goodluck
Jonathan, at an impressive
ceremony organised by the
Obafemi Awolowo
Foundation.
Reacting to the repeating of
history, Soyinka said he was
simply benefitting from
Awolowo’s largesse again,
saying that “today’s event may
yet make a Christian out of me
– since, from my admittedly
imperfect recollection of the
Christian bible – somewhere, it
is written: to him who hath,
even more shall be given.
“Despite the numerous
explications I have
encountered from childhood
regarding that problematic
passage, I have never been at
ease with its implicit inequity.
“Today, however, I am setting
aside all such objections. I was
a beneficiary of the liberal
educational policy – at tertiary
level - of the man whose
memory we are here to
honour, and now, today, I find
myself recipient of yet another
largesse, an inestimable
honour at the hands - albeit
posthumously – of that same
sage.

Andre Uweh: See the results of those weapons here.

Dede1: Third grader, toddler!!!

Are you dumb and daft? Why would anybody with average intellect refer to Kiriji as great Yoruba war? Or have you totally forgotten the context in which issue of the wrestling matches arose?

macjive01: no its not, it is a city in Texas that is current being developed by the Igbo just the way the did to Lagos.

macjive01: This is good new for the whole of Africa

kay9: I find it amusing that only one NLer has bothered to cuss on this girl yet; wey d rest of the ''fire-and-brimstone-beathing'' squad na? And i'm guessing its because she's not nigerian. Isn't it ironical that we dont mind seeing non-nigerians do stuff like this - we even ''admire'' them. But let a naija girl try it, hem! Her own don finish.

For what its worth, i dont approve of the girl's choice of trade... But of course its her life, so my views hardly matter.

Dede1: There was a country. The name remains Biafra.

dede1: You are an imbecilic
nincompoop to mention a
wrestling matches of 16 years
as war. The so-called Kiriji was
a mere seek and hide play
among the Yooba peeps. In
the inflated joke, who did the
Yooba fight?

smarttalk: Like I said, intelligence avoids
false equivalency. Biafra had
some international support, but
not on the scale that the
Americans had. France did supply
some arms to Biafra late in the
war, but denied it. They did not
give all out support. Portugal
allowed Biafran pilots to land on
their territories, but nothing
more. The support was just not
on the same level. If it were,
Biafra would be an independent
country and we would not have
been sending soldiers to the field
with few bullets.

macjive01: I think Houston should be the second state, there are enough Igbos in Houston to form a state.

80% of the black Doctors are of Igboid.

15% of the new non-government developement are championed by Igbos.

605 of the Top black executives in the Oil Industry are of Igboid.

chosen04: It seems you have forgotten that they have always followed non-violence principle right from the outset?

chosen04: ....Its obvious that some peeps underestimate the power of peaceful civi disobedience. Don't you?.....learn to make a mark without your usual charadeneSs.it pays!

LADY OF RAGE: ....and my dearest uncle GILBERT OBI who fought for Biafra willingly without being forced to join the army. He was killed by his fellow Biafran soldiers mistakely in 1969. RIP Odogwu!
