The accommodators are at it again. “Myself and the same UNICEF representatives went on to convey something of what lay behind this intransigence: Among the large majority hailing from that tribe( Yoruba) who are the most vocal in inciting the complete extermination of the Igbos. I often heard remarks that all Nigeria’s ills will be cured once the Igbos have been exterminated from the human map.” (Dr Conor Cruise O’Bien, 21 December, 1967, New York Review). “I want to see no Red Cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no Pope, no missionary, no UN delegation. I want to prevent even one Ibo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves and when our troops march into the centre of Ibo territory, we shoot at everything, even things that do not move” (Benjamin Adekunle, Commander, 3 rd Marine Commander Division, Nigerian Army to French Radio Reporter) Mr Nwabuikwu, we understand that there exists good amongst the bad. But individual motives must be distinguished from national motives. Even amongst the Nazi, there were good men,but the actions. of the good ones can never erase the fact the Nazi general policy was anti Jewish. I'm sure some Nazi must have saved some Jews too. It was Andrew Nwankwo( Ironsi ADC) Hausa friend named Bello, that saved him from the Northern junta, the same Northern military junta that killed many of Andrew Nwankwo Igbo Nigerian military compatriots. https://www.nairaland.com/1076677/real-story-how-lt.col-fajuyi We have nothing against good individual Yorubas, but the Igbophobic nature of Yoruba nationalism can never be watered down, and no amount of white washing would make us forget it. God bless the Yoruba man that saved you and his descendants, if they haven't embraced the awoist Yoruba nationalism that is inherently Igbophobic. Ozoemena. Fences make for good neighbors. Let's all get our own individual nations and become good neighbors. 3 Likes 1 Share |

mekuzi09: If not for Nairaland, I won't know what an average Igbo person thinks of me as a Yoruba. You don't want people to know the truth?, only the truth can set us free. Just like you, i wastes so much time trying to discourage tribalism but Nairaland changed that, God bless Nairaland. Now let me tell you, the Igbo man that won the house of rep sit in Oshodi would not have succeeded if the voters in Oshodi are aware of the kinds of hatered Igbos have for Yoruba. It is better for forums like Nairaland to exist so that all of us can know where we belong. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

augustine: The £20-for-every-Igbo who had bank accounts was a myth. What happened then was a currency crisis. On 30 December 1967, the Nigerian government decided to change the Nigerian currency in circulation in order to render useless the £37 million Ojukwu had for buying foreign weapons. The Biafran leadership quickly took the loot, mopped up the ones they could get in circulation and headed to Europe to exchange them for hard currencies. Eventually, they introduced Biafran notes as the only legal tender. There was around 149 million Biafran pounds in circulation by the end of the war. After the war, there was a general scramble to exchange these notes for the new Nigerian notes. Awolowo explained that he didn’t know on what basis these notes were produced. It is like someone bringing a single 50 billion Zimbabwean dollar note to the bank and expecting to be given N50 billion. The exchange rate should be known to determine the worth of the Zimbabwean dollar. Currently, 39 billion Zimbabwean dollars is worth 1 US dollar. In the case of Biafra, the worth of the currency was unknown; they were produced out of desperation, with lax security features to boot. In his statement of 1 February 1968, Dr. Okigbo, Biafra’s Commissioner of Economic Affairs, said “the lack of international acceptance and lack of a commensurate exchange rate was immaterial since the currency was intended only for circulation in Biafra.” In other words, it was worthless outside Biafra. After the war those that had this money were carting them to Nigerian banks, hoping to get the equivalent in new Nigerian notes. No banker or economist worth that description would approve that. Awolowo, in his bid to rehabilitate the Igbo and restore economic normalcy, approved the payment of 20 Nigerian pounds flat rate for every Biafran notes depositor. It was never £20 for every Igbo. Twenty pounds for every Biafran? That would have been around £300 million, when Nigeria’s annual budget before the war was £342.22 million, for a population of 57 million. As at today, less than 50 percent of Nigerians have bank accounts. In the 60′s, the figure was less than 5 percent of the Nigerian population. How come every Igbo man became an account holder with fantastic sums lodged in the fictional accounts after the war when it looked like the federal government would pay claims by account holders after the civil war? The claims could not be verified because most were not able to answer simple questions. The figures they gave were also impossible when tallied because it added up to more than 1000 percent of the total cash balances of the banks as at the beginning of the war. 14 Likes 7 Shares |

Diademk07: Lol! Cock and bull stories that non of them could verify. They can't put names to their stories, no Biafran commander name, no Biafran unit name, just cock and bull stories. Never knew that Kogbara who was the legitimate Ogoni leader joined hands against Biafra when he was with Ojukwu all through. Any way, this thread was a bad attempt at using few isolated good deeds of people of Yoruba origin to gloss over the stinking Igbophobic Awoist agenda that the Yoruba nationalism is dripping of, and I'm more than happy to burst that bubble before few gullible Igbos here be deceived. So far, it's mission accomplished for me. Throughout out the times between 1966-69 You propagandists accused Ojukwu of maltreating the minorities, Ojukwu kept demanding for a UN supervised plebiscite in the minorities area to determine the truth, but not surprisingly, you liars chickened out. 1 Like |
