ArodewilliamsT:You can google 'Biafran war documentary and song: volume 1 & 2' or go to this YouTube link below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxUaVXd2KA4 |
CreampieAngela:Don't twist history. Ojukwu invaded the mid west because it was on the route to Lagos and a part of Nigeria. It should be noted that after Gowon attacked Biafra, Ojukwu was well within his rights to attack anywhere in Nigeria, even Ibadan. Another thing which a lot of people might not know is that Ojukwu declared "Republic of the mid-west" after he invaded it. He did not make it part of Biafra so how was he expansionist? |
fulanimafia:Biafra is not negotiable. We Igbos must be free of the joke called Nigeria |
Who gives a hoot about that gap toothed Daura cattle rearer? I'm an Igbo man and I demand Biafra now! |
LeStylo:Yes Ojukwu came back and went into politics. Naturally, nobody would have expected him to start fighting again at that time. And there was no way Ojukwu would have supported Awolowo or Zik because both men had betrayed him in the Biafran struggle. Shagari and Ojukwu had no problems. overbeaten myth of people liberation? I'm an Igbo man. I was a free man before the White Man came to force me into the "captive union" called Nigeria. The struggle of my people to get out that union is not a myth, it is real and our right |
OkutaNla:It is far better to fight for freedom and lose than to walk like a morron into the pit of slavery. So what are you congratulating your self for? For winning? That was round one, round 2 is on the way and this time, its a fight to the finish. A stupid Nigerian Army that cant defeat Shekau is just a joke just like you. |
OkutaNla:At least Ojukwu was fighting for the liberation his people unlike Awolowo who opted to become "boy-boy" to Gowon who was young enough to be his son, and in the process, sold the Yoruba nation to the Nothern oligarchy |
If this picture is in 1963, it means that Obasunjo would have been 25 years at the time. As much as this picture is old, Obasunjo looks much older than 25 in this picture!! |
I doubt the authenticity of this picture very much. Yaradua was a nobody in 1965, how would he have been mingling with the Oba of Lagos at this time? |
miky:They fought to keep the British inspired '419' scam known as Nigeria going. |
These people that say that Igbo land is land locked make me laugh. I wonder if they know that Portharcourt is an Igbo city? They also say the the 5 South East States are land locked. Can someone please take a good at Oguta in Imo state and tell me if there is any size of ship that can't port there? It is not a must that you must live on the 'coast' to have access to the sea. |
UncleJudax:There is no double standard here. Like I said before, I believe that people are born gay. Using Africa as an example. We all know that a gay person in Africa is most likely to be ostracised, thrown in jail, beaten up and maybe even killed just for being gay. Why would a gay person risk all of this if the opposite sex could give him/her the same thing they are looking for with the same sex? If I was a gay man and a woman's vagina can give me the same thing a mans a$$ could give me, why would risk my life, my happiness and my freedom unnecessarily with another man? It makes no sense. The reason why there is no double standard here is that a bigamist, can choose not commit bigamy, a polygamist can choose not engage in that lifestyle but a gay person cannot choose not to be gay because they were born that way. I personally believe people are born gay. I am prepared to accept a gay guy the way he is as long as he accepts the fact that Im a straight guy who likes women. I'm a Cathlolic and I stand by what the Pope said about gay people in 2013. The Pope said: When I meet a gay person, I have to distinguish between their being gay and being part of humanity. If they accept the Lord and have goodwill, who am I to judge them? They shouldn’t be marginalized. The tendency is not the problem…they’re our brothers. |
jaybee:I don't give a rats a$$ if the dead guy was Osama bin Ladin, it is still very poor judgement to take a picture with a dead person. |
7lives:I wouldn't call it obsession, as an Igbo man, it's no skin of my nose if the Yorubas secede or not but it intrigues me as someone who read about the Oyo empire and Afonja while in secondary School now seeing the same people don't have sense of self determination in this present day. I wonder what went wrong. God did not put us together, that's not how God operates. God lets us make our own choices, who we are, where we want to be and who we want to be with. We were put together by the British and their superior firepower and Nigeria has been kept together by superior firepower ever since then except it is not the White man holding it any more. Don't bring the American civil war into this. That war was about freeing slaves while the Nigerian civil war was the reverse. |
AgapeCharis:If you look at it from an open minded point of view, you will see I'm on point. Inbreeding is a strong point to ban incestuous relationship because the offspring(s) that may emerge from such relationship are most likely to have genetic anomalies which they can pass on to their own offsprings. In the USA, Mormon families and other religious sects are known to engage in polygamy as is in Europe. As for "getting used to being gay", I don't believe in that. For me to leave all the fine girls out there to sleep my fellow man is crazy so any man who does this is someone who has always been gay but did not yet have consenting partner yet. I believe people are born gay but my point it that if two consenting gay people decide to engage in that activity, it's no ones business. I know men and women who engage in far worse sexual activity than gays anyway |
damijah:After having your oil then what? Will that bring back the sense of self determination the Yorubas have since lost? Will it make the Yorubas seek Odua Republic? Yorubas will still remain self confessed slaves of "one Nigeria" wether they have Oil or not. |
This is in very bad taste. Only a complete morron will 'pose' with a dead body |
SovietBomber:Sexual relationship between parent and child or incest cannot be permitted to prevent "inbreeding". Polygamy is not banned in the west, what is banned is bigamy. Where I draw the line between morality and human rights is in humanity. I'm not gay and I'm not a gay rights activist per se, but I'm not about to reject a human being for being gay. Being gay is not something someone grows up to learn, you either have that inclination or you don't. If a person has that inclination and respects that I do not have the same, I'm ok with him. I cannot demonise a person because their sexual orientation is not the "norm" and what two consenting adults do behind closed doors is none of my business. People who look down on gay people are backward thinking in my opinion. |
In civilised countries, people in uniform are restricted to what they do. Since when did Cadets become traffick wardens? In civilised countries, a civilian can challenge anyone in uniform from a General to recruit, if something unfair is being done. In Nigeria, challenge anyone in uniform and you will be lucky to just get away with a beating. In civilised countries, it is a highly disgraceful thing for any Military personnel to engage in rape. In Nigeria, there nowhere the Nigerian Army goes that allegations of rape don't surface,infact, some people consider it normal. In civilised countries, any abuse of power by any Military personnel results in instant dismissal. In Nigeria, it is the order of the day to abuse authority and power and to harass innocent civilians. |
Rexphobia:The question you should be asking is if it is against the law for a civilian to wear "camo" To the best of my knowledge, it is not. |
Ukpabi Asika was just another traitor to his people just like Okorocha. |
nduchucks:A lot of people on NL keep saying this ridiculous statement that the Igbos should never think of war because they lost the first one. And so blooody what?!! Freedom some times takes several battles and many wars to achieve. 45 years has gone by and things have changed. The Nigerian state will surely witness another war unless it starts to acknowledge that the Igbos must granted their God given right to exit Nigeria and form their own country. |
iamtomiymb:So it is news to you that we are not "one Nigeria"? What is even the meaning of one Nigeria? Did you know who I was before the White man came? So we are one Nigeria because Lord Lugard came from Britain to tell you that is how it should be? For your information, we are not one and have never been one. I am an Igbo man, I have no historical connection with a Yoruba or Hausa man and Lord Lugard is not enough to make them my "Brothers". An Hausa man like Buhari has no business being my president all in the name of the fraudulent scam called Nigeria. Igbos are a tribe of over 35 Million people, Ghana is just 28 million but is a sovereign nation. So why am I still in Nigeria still dragging around with a Yoruba or Hausa man about who should be president when I have all it takes to have my own nation? Forget one Nigeria, it doesn't exist. |
Nobody knows Obasunjos real age except him, even his own first son outed him as being much older than he claimed. Obasunjo may already be 100 years old |
Phargbemmy:Nobody likes war. But if it is the price of freedom, then it must be done. |
nduchucks:Long before the pogroms, there was a concerted displeasure at the Igbos by the northerners. Igbos were better educated, held important positions. This could be seen in the fact that in 1945 and 1952, there were massacre's in Kano and Jos of Igbos. The January 1966 coup, the subsequent counter coup and the massacre of the Igbos that followed that was eventually crowned by the civil was a long chain of events orchestrated by northerners to stifle and opposition to their goal to domination of the country. I have always believed that any Military officer who engages in coup is a criminal. I am an Igbo man, and I think that Nzeogwu,Anuforo,Okafor and all of them who participated in the first coup were and are criminals, but they were all punished (those of them still alive) at the end of the war. Coup plotting and its subsequent effects is why I think that Buhari is a criminal, but fortunately for him, he is a northerner |
At the time of that coup, majority of the senior officers corps of the Nigerian Army were all Igbos. Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu was born and raised in Kaduna. He spoke far better Hausa than he could Igbo. Would it be right to say that this man led a coup to enthrone the Igbos? Everybody knows that it was the political disturbances of 1964 to 65 is what caused Nzeogwu and co to strike. It was not an Igbo coup, it was made to look that way to justify the wholesale slaughter the northern officers would perpetrate 6 months later. |
It truly beats my imagination that in this 21st century, a genocidal killer like Murtala can actually be hailed a hero. How is it that this mass murderer can have landmarks such as an international Airport named after him? Why is his face on the national currency? How can such a "Cauldron of evil" like Murtala be granted any form of praise or recognition even though everyone knows the atrocities he committed? Just incredible!! A man who personally superviced the killings of thousands of people is a hero? Tufiakwa!! |
Anyone who thinks that us Igbos are going to give up our agitation for our independent homeland of Biafra because of effects of war is dreaming. War brings suffering, starvation and death. Stale news. No Igbo man worth his salt is going to accept to live in the prison called "Nigeria" just because of starvation, suffering and death. The only reason Nigeria defeated Biafra was because of the blockade that British Warships enforced. If there is another war, Britain isn't coming back to help Nigeria stop food and ammunition from getting into Biafra. And this is when Nigeria will known the true meaning of war! |
amaben2020:What do you mean by was "loved by his people"? Which people? Only an ignoramus can love and evil man like Murtala Mohammed. You know why? murtala Mohammed was a despicable man of the highest order.It is a personal disgrace to all well meaning Nigerians that such an evil man has his face on the national currency and has landmarks such as an international Airport named after him The sins of murtala: 1) murtala Mohammed led a band of Northern military officers which included the current president Buhari,Danjuma,Babangida,Abacha,Jerry Useni, the late Yaradua senior amongst others in the counter coup of July 1966 were they killed Ironsi and massacred over 300 eastern officers. 2) murtala and his troops massacred over 700 civilian men, women and children who came to welcome him and his troops as they entered Asaba at start of the war 3) murtala despite sound advice and in a bid to increase his popularity led thousands of Nigerian Soldiers to their deaths as he tried to cross the river Niger into Onitsha on 3 separate attempts (The then Lt Oladipo Diya almost lost his life in one of those attempts). Subsequently, Mutala was recalled from the war and sent to London while his men lay dead under the River Niger. 4) murtala became the first Military officer in Nigeria who conducted a coup to sieze political power for him self when he kicked out Gowon. Even Nzeogwu had no interest in becoming president in his own coup. murtala then in one of the biggest acts of Military indiscipline then retired everyone who was above him in rank promoted him self from a one star Brigadier General to a full four star Genera in one go. murtala became the face of Northern military domination of Nigeria. murtala then embarked on a mass purge of the civil service where he sacked over 11,000 workers nationwide which included some of the best and brightest. murtala was a war criminal, a homicidal killer, a failed Soldier,a sociopath and national disgrace. |
hakeem4:How is he a national hero? For helping the Yoruba/Northern partnership keep the fraud known as Nigeria one? He was a failed Soldier who was unceremoniously retired. He should have been sent to The Hague to answer for war crimes. |
afroniger:No investment of a freedom fighter is safe in Nigeria because once freedom fighting starts, those investments will be attacked first by the Government. It was s smart move for Asari to invest in another country. Should Asari take up arms again and go to the creeks, his schools will still be open and running in Benin Republic . |
