PapaBaby:
After this speech, his people went on to collude with Abacha, the rest as they say is history. Shameful

BlowYourMind:
Everyone was fighting for his own selfish interest, even Azikwe was against the secession of the North before he realized he was a loser and want to use Awolowo as a bait to secede but Awolowo see beyond the antics of Azikwe instead of declaring Oduduwa state after he was released by Gowon, Awolowo joined Gowon's government instead of being a tool in the hand of Azikwe and his selfish interest to ride on SOuth south and her oil

techmo:
who cares what Ipoop shit headed dunce thinks on twitter afterall their coward leaders are nothing but run away bitches

Racoon:
Hypocrite! Same Tinubu that have helped bastardized democratic values, norms and institutions? I can believe this is the same man that fought Abacha tyranny in the 1990s.

Jman24:
I just wish for a restructured Nigeria.. where each region manage their resources and various administrators of each region held accountable. Accountability is very important to a prosperous nation. But unfortunately most Nigerians would rather chase shadows than holding their leaders accountable or attacking a freedom fighter from a particular race in Nigeria while eulogizing other freedom fighters in the world. Blacks are their own problem.

MinorityOpinion:
The main purpose of IPOB’s campaign of misinformation is to confuse many Igbos with contradictory lies that will be repeated here and there until Igbos do not know what the truth is. For years, Igbos have allowed IPOB to spread lies that have poisoned the trust between us and the rest of the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria.

The cutting words of IPOB is worse than a bowstring. While a cut may heal, the cut of the tongue does not. Ultimately, what IPOB has succeeded in doing is stir up hatred between Igbos and the rest of Nigerians. So, I stand bold to state that IPOB is a disease; the lies and venom that they are vomiting through Nnamdi Kanu do not have to make sense to be successful as a disease.

In Ambode, I see a man with ambition, first of all his re-election would be the easiest of the governors, and if he continues the next 4 years with the same vigor then I dare say he would be a presidential candidate.

hilroy:
Sorry, read your history again. Azikiwe sold you off to Nigeria which is the reason why you fools are shouting marginalization and discrimination. Only slaves shout of marginalization the way you cry babies do. Now Cownu has extended your slavery time in the hands of Nigeria

just talk and more talk

Davash222:
Are there no medical practitioners in the North? Are they restricted from practising in US? Or is it Haram to practise in US Asking for my neighbor, sha.

kingawothefirst:
Where in the world do Yorubas pretend like Nigeria is okay? No we are just more tactful in getting what we want, stay tuned you people might learn something.

kingawothefirst:
Nnamdi Azikiwe is the main culprit here after Luggard. Zik ruined the foundation of this country.

flokii:
Why won't they brag when a particular region will readily kiss their ass for Vice position just like they have been doing since Independence.. In short SE is a major problem of the South.

Kudos to thoughtful SW governors for the Amotekun Corps launched and Community policing. in Lagos. SE una ndo!

Such a beautiful picture, Nigeria will be great one day

@ Red

A response full of comedy of errors

1) Starting sentences and Names with Small letters

2) Poor use of punctuation

3) Poor grammar

4)Use of wrong adjectives like callous that does not suit the context of the sentence

Need I go on !

Yet, this particular idiot will still have the nerve to question anyone's education or IQ

Your parents lost about 3 million of your people to a war and still ended up being slaves to those they fought against, the least you can do as a child of a failed generation is to try as much as possible to improve yourself so that you don't end up being a failure.

Iamgrey5:
How do you conclude that Nigerian government did worst?.

Just like the Article clearly stated, the major problem here is that the only stories ever told about the Biafra war, are often only told by igbos.

Every other year another igbo releases a book on Biafra, but the war didn't just affect the igbos alone.

The government needs to open up and let everyone tell their own side and versions of the story.

Iamgrey5:
The article never praised Biafra but outlines how Nigeria is not moving forward by not visiting and actually analysing what happened during and before the war.

The Article also noted that the one sided approach that Biafras have been using to tell the story is affecting the unity of the country since government has refused to tell their own side of the story.

Racoon:
So much zeal and determination for a region deemed defeated and left to start life from the scratch but dramatically picked up to be dominating every facets of our national life because of the never-say-never resilient spirit.

The region that was responsible for this back then is today a sordid theatre of gross illiteracy, abject poverty, child marriage/abuse, religion intolerance, terrorism, wanton bloodshed and killings among the many unimaginable ills of human existence.

Meanwhile, Nigeria had then remained a deteriorating phenomenon since the forced marriage and nothing but a clear disintegration is imminent.

gwafaeziokwu:
For where? Una no go see us again.

All the tribes in Nigeria should join hand to deal with their problem.

Igbo blood can't be used again to negotiate Nigeria's unity. We don't need any stupid hailing from people that talk from both sides of their mouth.

Just like in 1966, they celebrated Nzeogwu coup and hailed him as a revolutionary. Immediately, the Hausa Fulanis took over the Dodan Barracks and started killing Igbo officers the music changed.

When the Igbos were faced with existential threat in 1966-1967, we did Something. We organised and fought like men.

Every tribe that felt their existence is being threatened by Hausa Fulani should stand up and fight, period!!!

BlowYourMind:
They don't want the presidency, their swindling business in Alaba is better than US presidency.

Uchek:
You are are educated illiterate with toddler-level of logical reasoning

How you may curiously ask?

You make one statement and in the next following statement your practically and empircally invalidate and debunk your own prior statement and assertion. I have never seen such low intelligence on full display on social media.

TUFIAKWA!

nobaga:
You are ignorant.

If only you had taken half of Aburi after Ojukwu took advantage of half illiterates.

If only you had not invaded Mid- West.

If only you had not invaded ORE.

If only Ironsi had immediately brought Nzeogwu to justice by military court.

If only Ironsi had not declared Unitary Government

If only Zik had not been happy or spiteful to be contented as ceremonial President.

If only Zik had allowed Awo Amendment to Opt out of Nigeria in the Construction.

If only Zik had not handed Nigeria to the North instead of his children blaming the British.

Which of all these Powers had Israel enjoyed? Stop comparing yourselves to Jews. You are older and earlier in civilization.

See frustration, if it is Biafra U want go and take it from ur Igbo leaders they have sold u and ur generation to the hausas and fulanis

Benevento:
You can't restructure Nigeria my friend.

I came from the region that will likely perform best but still restructuring is not the answer.

how do you want regions like South East and North east with little or no resources to thrive?

Trigalee:
1) No matter how much we protest about it, the reality remains that the rest of the human race refuses to recognise negroid people as fully-fledged homo sapiens. There is no evidence out there to suggest that this will change any time soon
(2) Nobody will ever admit this in public but Caucasians regard negroes as something of a link between humans and other primates. We are seen as a higher ape than the ourang outang, gorilla, chimpanzee, etc but are not fully paid-up homo sapiens like say Slavs or Scandinavians
(3) You just need to look at the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade if you want evidence of this. One species does not enslave its own on such an industrial scale. You only do that to those you consider lesser animals or beasts of burden. Kind of like the way we treat horses, oxen, donkeys and reindeers
(4) It was actually very easy to regard sub-Saharan Africans as lesser beings because when the Europeans arrived on our continent, our grandest buildings were built of mud. In contrast, Europe, the Incas, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Asian Buddhists, etc had castles, temples, palaces, etc built of stone, granite, ivory and timber
(5) If we want to be honest with ourselves, we Africans have not done enough to dispel all those concepts. Our continent remains the poorest on earth, we account for less than 3% of world trade, we manufacture next to nothing, have no global brands, are a dumping ground for goods produced elsewhere and survive by selling primary commodities to which we add no value
(6) Put yourself in the position of the Caucasian for a minute and look at Africa. How on earth can people who cannot even maintain refineries or distribute electricity claim to be equals with those who maintain space stations, manufacture nuclear weapons and land on the moon?
(7) It is no surprise that everyone else has joined in the caricature of the African. Asians like the Indians, Chinese, Indonesians, Malaysians, etc all now treat us with the same disdain as Caucasians. Covid-19 just brought biases to the fore
( I put it to you all that Negroid people would not be regarded as such inferior beings if say five of the top global automobile brands were produced by African nations
(9) China and Japan in particular have forced the Caucasian world to respect them and India is now in the process of doing so, especially with its Tata Industries. If we want similar respect, we simply have to earn it. We are deluded if we think it will be given or if Caucasians will suddenly just develop a guilty conscience
(10) As Africa’s largest country, biggest economy and continental powerhouse, Nigeria shoulders the burden of the negro globally. Until Nigeria becomes a top five global economy with brands like Toyota, Mercedes, Bosch, Microsoft, Phillips, Cadbury, Nestor, Luis Vitton, Armani, etc, Black people will continue to be treated with disdain globally. As far as I am concerned, Nigeria has to assume its fair share of the blame for the police murders in the US. How come Chinese and Indian Americans are not treated with such disdain?

Southern Nigeria became a slave to the North when the war ended in 1970
