Brother, I am a detribalised Nigerian. No wonder u did not quote my post. I said remove all political undertone. Achebe wen suppose dey unite us, dey sow seeds of discord. For Selfish reasons again(to sell book)

Chinua Achebe, lest you forget, was Biafran Minister of Communication during the war. His Ministry was given the task of spreading Propaganda on behalf of Biafra. He was also in charge of Radio Biafra. So, it wasnt for selfish reasons alone that he decided to unleash all this confusion.

A youth corper killed in Jos , out of IGNORANCE -->
Re: Achebe Wrote Out Of Ignorance - Gowon by Nobody: 5:52pm On Oct 28, 2012
quid: More deeds OF IGNORANCE from Gowon's home state --->

Quid, stop posting graphic and gory pictures! Majority of folks killed in Madala and the victims of today's bombing in Kaduna are Igbo.
Some Igbo traders were equally killed in Adamawa sometimes ago. Even in this picture, you have no evidence to prove those children are not Igbo.You might actually be laughing at yourself thinking you are hitting Gowon.


Gowon is willing to face prosecution. You should be happy to hear that. Take him to court, present your case and wait for the outcome. A thousand gory pictures will not change the fact that your fathers and grand fathers were defeated at the war front and your mothers and grand mothers taken as spoils of war.

It's Gowon's old habit: standing by, ranting rubbish, while his people are slowly decimated. Anyway, what goes around comes around.

Yet more acts of Jos ignorance --->

Of course I don't. Just so far as the pictures are gory and are veritable acts of IGNORANCE
perpetuated by Boko Haram and Fulani kinsmen.

Note the number of children/infants in these few pictures. What kind of a human being will stand by and wave aside these killings by spinning the kind of yarns that Gowon is now used to?
Re: Achebe Wrote Out Of Ignorance - Gowon by aribisala0(m): 6:05pm On Oct 28, 2012
and the pictures say "Nigeria" any where in them ?? How do we know they are not from Sudan or Rwanda or Zaire or Somalia or Liberia or Sierra Leone?
You may wish to indulge the worst in you but really the photos prove nothing and achieve nothing

Mr. Corruption, I hope you enjoy the pictures above.
I don't think the innocent children are not Igbos, but Nigerians who have fallen victim to Gowon's unintended action of tolerating genocide of a particular tribe or religion.

Evil begets evil. This is true no matter what language you speak.

I can see that the verbal attacks have just shifted from Awolowo to Gowon. You can go ahead and do this forever and it will change nothing. Just grow up and move on pls.

There is a time and place for everything shitting in front of your office because you have a grievance and trying to justify it with juvenile logic just does not work. Posting these pictures are nothing but a childish act,a capricious tantrum and should tell you more about yourself than those who committed the acts.

That is self deception. Truth is you are yielding to a streak of nastiness and trying to justify it to yourself. There is a time and place for those photos I just do not see this to be it?

Quit venting at the un appropriate quarters. Gowon has challenged you guys, yet all you do is post some sick pictures. Does the happenings in Jos bring back the millions of Ibos who lost their lives in the civil war?
It is acts of stupidity like this that makes them hack down Ibo's . Collective Children of confusion.

Dark Knight:

Can Gowon defend his 'no victor,no vanquished' cliche when every igbo was given just 20 pounds in exchange for all their biafran money .The aim of that war was not just to regain the Nigerian empire but to silence the voice of the igbos.If the Ohaneze or any igbo group were to take up this matter,it may lead to disintegration.

As for the man AWO,of blessed memory.He was the Financial Minister at the time and he knew the implications of returning 20 pounds to every Igbo for all their millions It was actually his idea. This was a region that was ravaged by intense poverty and hunger. This act was one that would slow down development in the area and set the Igbo's back by over 30 years. Shortly after this period,Nigeria embarked on privatization that was under Awo.

The Igbo's had no money,the hausa's were not enlightened and the Yoruba's acquired over 80% of Industries in Nigeria.Truth be said,Awo's actions made him the most tribalized leader Nigeria ever had.Though nothing can take away the fact that he was a great leader for his people.




1. So, wait, how much did you expect the Govt to give in exchange of worthless currency?

2. Next you claim all the Igbos during the war had "millions" of Pounds, yet in the same breath you say they were all "ravaged with intense poverty and hunger". How is this possible? How does a Millionaire starve except the currency was worthless in the first place a la "Zimbabwean Millionaire" syndrome?

3. OK, lets agree that the plan was to wreck havoc on Igbos for 30yrs, what about 30yrs later? Dont your Governors collect Billions of Dollars from Abuja every year? Where does the money end up or are we to blame Awo for your thieving, irresponsible, divisive and crooked Governors too?

4. Do you know that this same Awo gave millions of pounds immediately after the war to resuscitate ACB (African Continental Bank), the largest Igbo bank at the time. WHERE IS ACB TODAY?! Do we also blame the thieving officials that ran it into the ground on Awolowo? Tell us what happened to Cooperative Bank of Eastern Nigeria, you do know Awolowo gave them Millions of Pounds too so that they could lend to Igbo traders immediately after the war? What happened to all the money?

5. Did or didnt Awolowo ensure that Igbo savings (subvention)--- 990,000 Pounds/month for the duration of the war--- was given to the South Eastern states after the war COMPLETE WITH INTEREST?! Tens of millions of Pounds (incase you dont know the equivalent in todays currency, we're talking Hundreds of Millions of Pounds) given to the South East as their share of revenue that was saved up for them during the course of the war. Why dont you ask your leaders what happened to the monies instead of listening to the fo.olish propaganda they keep feeding y'all?

We have been reaping the fruits of Gowon's no-victor-no-vanquished gibberish for decades now.

I forgot, these two big men (R.I.P) were also IGNORANTLY attacked in Jos, while they were attending the mass burial of 50 people who were IGNORANTLY killed by fulani b@stards:

babestella: When a wife you truly love wakes up one morning and tell you she wants a divorce, you think it is a joke, until the next day you are served with court summon, what do you do? Do you proceed to fight the case in the court, or you simply will engage your wife in a practical dialogue to know what her reasons are and you sincerely address them. But if you chose to ignore her and proceed to court, it could actually get messy
.Nigeria during the war era did not love the igbos, hence they ignored the issues that were raised by the Igbo leaders even those in the army. No man will sit and watch his kinsmen being slaughtered like ram and brought back home and you expect him to fold his arms.

What if this hypothetical wife, claiming your marriage was corrupted by outside interference which led to its demise, decided to sue only your relatives for every penny they had while leaving hers untouched what would you do? Just watch as she took your life savings and that of your relatives? Oh, lets not also forget that this wife was the one that Cheated on you with your friends and neighbors and she also taunted you with her actions.

Its always good to tell a story from the start. Cutting off parts that seem detrimental to your claims only makes you look deceitful.

Achebe has written what he has written, if the other living participants in the war chose not to then they don't / should not have the right to resort to insults. At the end of the day majority of nigerians are still suffering regardless of tribe and that for me is the bigger issue. Gowon, OBJ etc., please write your own so we the future don't make the same asinine mistakes you all did

Obasanjo has written some books which I have read e.g My Command and Nzeogwu. About Gowon, am sure he is too unintelligent to write any thing.

And why is Southern Sudan sitting and negotiating with the man(Bashir) that killed her people and wanted by the ICJ or ICC.
