AnambraDota:http://www.news24.com.ng/Elections/News/Dokubo-Asari-describes-Buharis-victory-as-a-gang-up-20150402 Hmmm Dokubo-Asari describes Buhari’s victory a 'gang up' 2015-04-02 17:23 Port Harcourt - A former Niger-Delta militant, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has described the election of Muhammadu Buhari as a conspiracy between the North and South West against the South-South and South-East geo-political zones, reports The Nation. Dokubo, who is also the leader of Niger Delta People Volunteer Force, (NDPVF, said the voting pattern showed a gang up against the east and the minorities. Dokubo in a statement by his spokesperson, Rex Anighoro, said the election clearly reinforces the fact of self determination and the truth that Nigeria remains a very divided and separated entity. Also read: Asari Dokubo issues fresh threat to attack Buhari He noted that the victory Buhari is a historical reminder that the minorities are a conquered people who are mere appendages existing at the pleasure of the supremacist and the regional overlords. http://www.news24.com.ng/Elections/News/Dokubo-Asari-describes-Buharis-victory-as-a-gang-up-20150402 |
mulattoclaro: ![]() Colonel Oyinlade Iluyomade (rtd) is a civil war veteran, renowned for his role in curtailing the onslaught of the Biafran army at Ore, Ondo State. Your role during the civil war, particularly how you curtailed the onslaught of the Biafran soldiers at Ore has been spoken about by fellow military men like General Alabi Isama, what exactly happened at the war front? When the civil war commenced around June to July 1967, I was based in Ibadan where I commanded a small unit. But I joined the military in 1952 with Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and Sani Abacha, who were my colleagues. I was sent to India for military training to be commissioned as Infantry, that is, to fight wars. The war started from the north, but it got to a point when the Biafran soldiers wanted to break through and conquer the West, they believed that if they conquered the West, it would be easy for them to manoeuvre their way through to the North. So, they wanted to break through Ore into the West, then straight to Lagos. But, at the beginning of August, I was despatched to Ore village to act as Security Officer, to ensure internal security and, to make the civilians aware of the presence of the federal troops. I was there with 33 soldiers. Later, Biafra captured Mid West, and arrived in Benin. This meant that their next target was the West. So I was told by then Colonel Olusegun Obasanjo, who was the Commander in Ibadan, to move to Ore border, which is about 19 miles to Ore village. Then, I moved there that night but I told Obasanjo that I was ill-equipped to curtail the Biafran attack. What can 33 soldiers do? So, he promised to reinforce and he did keep to his promise. Then, our total strength grew to 179 soldiers to defend the place. I had premonition of danger and when I got to Ore, I deployed my troops towards the Western region. The bridge at Ofosu was the boundary, so I went ahead to survey the area to know the mountainous and forested areas. And I deployed my troops, so if there would be an attack on the West, they would have to cross the bridge. So I safeguarded the bridge and gave my troops instruction not to allow anybody cross over. By that time, there was an instruction that I shouldn’t allow anybody into the West. After deployment of troops, I rose up from my trench at about 12 midnight, it started to rain heavily, but I told the troops not to leave their trenches. So, we dug in. Then, when I saw the skyline of the vehicles of the Biafran soldiers coming towards us, I shouted that no one should fire except me. And the battle started minutes past midnight. But the bridge was so heavy that they could not penetrate. If they had known that we had a small number, maybe they could have made the effort to penetrate. So we confused them, the place was well secured and we never lost any soldier. One can deduce from your exploits then that you were proactive and strategic in battle, do you observe such qualities in today’s military operation? I was the only officer, the others were other ranks so I commanded them. I don’t know how the current Army is deployed and how they work. But, the way I look at them now, I would not want to comment but they know how they operate. But, in our own days, we were tough and well-trained; we were dedicated and had the ability to withstand any odd. Are these qualities lacking in today’s Army? I would not say they are lacking. I think money now has a great role to play. Money is used to dampen soldiers’ professionalism. If soldiers know that money is now so much available, you can understand their current thinking. Moreover, those who fought well during the civil war were not compensated. Those that did not fight at all were the ones promoted. Those who ran away were promoted. I would not want to mention names. I recall you once complained that you were never promoted to the position of a General? I was not promoted, even to the position of a full Colonel. Maybe because I am a Yoruba man, I can say this boldly anywhere. Look at what happened to late Benjamin Adekunle, for example. Who fought the civil war more than Adekunle? But, he was neglected, Why? The exception was Akinrinade that managed to become the Chief of Army Staff. Ariyo was driven away, someone just placed a letter on his table that he was retired; he never saw the person. What offence did he commit? Just because he was Yoruba; so many Yorubas, like that, were neglected. Nothing was given to us. It is very terrible. The force is dominated by the north and they want to continue to enjoy the largesse of the military. They claim that Yorubas have many engineers, lawyers, doctors and other professionals hence we should not wrest the military from the Northerners. We are still angry with how we were treated; we just bottled it up. And from the beginning till end of the war, people like me never left the war front. I was one of the five brigade commanders that ended the war. You have bottled up your anger for so long, is it time for you to let out this anger as you now have a fellow soldier, also from the North, now elected as President? No, Buhari is a nice man, he is a fellow military man. He is an amiable man, a very nice man, plain-hearted, a gentle man to the core. I know him. You seem to know Buhari so well, can you tell us more about the Buhari that you know. I worked with Buhari when we were together in Marine Commando. He was GOS next to the General Officer Commanding and I was Divisional Training Officer, I was training and teaching other ranks. That was where I met Buhari. He was very nice, amiable to people. He was also a wonderful Head of State and he is a disciplinarian. He does not condone nonsense and I love him. You have claimed to love Buhari so much, however, Nigerians would only love him so well if he lives up to expectations. Do you think he can live up to the high expectations of Nigerians? Why not? To become a Major, you are well-read, hence you can tackle any problem. Mobolaji Johnson was a Major when he was appointed Administrator of Lagos. To become a major, you would have passed through the Staff College, attended several trainings, taken exams, attended different courses, partook in seminars to brush you up and acquire intelligence. Military men also read personally. I have a personal library where I have good books. I read on military, politics, philosophy among other aspects of life. Winston Churchhill read up to Class 4 and became the Prime Minister of Britain and the whole Commonwealth. And he led the Commonwealth military to victory. Adolf Hitler read only up to Form 2 level and he wanted to conquer and rule the whole world. What audacity other than the fact that he read wide. It is not about having a PhD; what is PhD to us? We read wide. Do you canvass for the inclusion of retired military men in the new government? Yes. For example, if I become a minister in Buhari’s government, my ministry will shine. Consider Brigadier General Samuel Ogbemudia in Bendel, he developed Bendel. Which governor has developed Bendel, now Edo State, the way Ogbemudia did till date? None. He was a military man. Back then, money was not the issue, but we fought to win the war. It was about being a real man. What about fears that the dictatorial tendencies of military men, if largely involved, will be laid bare in our democratic practice? The world is civilised and there is no more dictatorship. Democracy is practised around the world now. There is no country that practices dictatorship that will progress. A civilian should come up with policies that are beneficial but where the civilians fail, there may be the need for. For example, there is no reason all roads in the country should not be tarred. We should have water, electricity. Why can’t we have adequate power supply in the country? We lack dynamic leaders. We have voted them in now. Rather than for some of them to better the country, they will be after enriching themselves. What for? It is out of lack of imagination. But, I have confidence that Buhari will deliver. I can shout on top of my voice about this. http://tribuneonlineng.com/content/how-my-troops-stopped-biafran-soldiers-ore-%E2%80%94col-iluyomade-rtd |
LubricatingOil: ![]() The Igbos felt bad that the Ikwerres that sold them lands looked the other way, while the Ijaws claimed those lands, It was shortsightedness on the part of Ikwerres, they were so fixated on being a part of the the New Rivers state that they were too eager to please the Ijaws the Lords of the old Rivers state and the favorite of the Odua-Arewa gang up then, little did the Ikwerres suspect the Ijaws long term plan. The Ikwerres for a short term gain, abandoned their brothers( Igbos of SE) and ultimately shot themselves on the foot. Now they must share PH with Ijaws, if peace is to reign in Rivers. |
after1: ![]() FROM DAVID ONWUCHEKWA, NNEWI Some Igbo leaders including retired Army Generals and the former President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Dr Dozie Ikedife have paid a private visit to the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari to make a case for the Igbo in the incoming APC-led federal government so that the region will not be abandoned for not giving massive support to the victorious party like the South West during the just concluded presidential election. Dr Ikedife who disclosed this at his Nnewi residence, yesterday, said the purpose of the visit was to appeal to General Buhari not to leave the Igbo in the cold in his appointments and infrastructural development because of the low support he received from the South East geo-political zone during the presidential election. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=117435 |
