xaggar: You ignorant twerp are the loser who should get lost!!! Stop "attaching by force" to the great igbos and form your own language!!! You claim you are a "mix of people", how come chukwuma "kaduna" nzeogwu had no edo name in his own "mix" of names?!!! If he had borne osanobwa "kaduna" idahosa, we the great igbos, would have been spared the progroms that wasted tens of thousands of our innocent lives before the war!!! Now, you coward and your likes feel you all can spit on the graves of the fallen great igbos by claiming that we are "forcing igbo identity" upon you confused beings?!!! Almighty Elohim will deal you guys severely if you don't remove every trace of igbo from your language, names, culture and tradition etc!!! Your evil devices of bringing problems to we, the great igbos, will no longer go unpunished!!! 4 Likes 1 Share |

vr0xen: On 29 July 1967, Nzeogwu - who had been promoted to the rank of a Biafran Lt. Colonel - was trapped in an ambush near Nsukka while conducting a night reconnaissance operation against federal troops of the 21st battalion under Captain Mohammed Inuwa Wushishi. He was killed by recruits before his corpse was subsequently identified. Nzeugwu’s intelligence is only when planning to kill unsuspecting civilians and women in their bedrooms. He was no better than any armed robber. When a real war came up he couldn’t even last one week in actual combat. The recruits killed the confused cowardly “officer”. 1 Like |

AnanseK:Nzeogwu was not killed by recruits....his improvised Land Rover he normally used for his usual one-man squad reconnaissance operation got bombed and was demobilized that he couldn't move, he detonated a grenade when the Federal troops came close to his Land Rover to arrest him, and they later discovered that it was Nzeogwu when they retrieved his corpse. Nobody killed him, he more like committed suicide and took many Nigerian troops' lives with him, and his body was flown back to Kaduna and buried with full military rights.

einsteine:You are obviously from delta and you the one doing attache by force with these other states. Igbos have more in common with those other states than you deltans. They have igbo cultures and some of their parts speak and marry igbos, we fought the war together while you guys chanted one nigeria in your mid western region(bendel). Now you are claiming SS by force with that una south western attitude. But that's not the case.. We don't have problems with those states, infact they consider themselves part of se unlike you irritating deltans So don't bring them into this. You said we at war with our neighbors and i will say this again to you, delta isn't the only state that makes up SS.

xaggar:Are you aware that it was a man from your so-called "Delta Igbo" or "Anioma" and his co that plotted the coup that led to the 1966 Northern pogrom that led to the death of thousands of Igbos in the north just because he was bearing an Igbo name And even Nzeogwu who is more Deltan than you called himself an Igbo man. Igbos in today Southeast had no reason to carry out any coup in 1966 because they were in control of Nigeria; politically, economically, militarily.....Igbo man was the President, Igbo man was the Senate President, Igbo man was the Chief of Army Staff, Igbo man was the richest man together with Dantata, Igbos dominated trade and commerce even in Northern Nigeria then, so Igbos in Southeast had no reason to carry out a coup. Igbos only fought war to defend their people amidst the 1966 pogrom that saw rampant massacre of Igbos controlling Northern Nigeria....which pushed Ojukwu to declare Eastern Nigeria that he was governing an independent state just to secure Eastern Nigeria from the pogrom. So don't listen to anybody telling you that Ojukwu or Igbos wanted to secede from Nigeria because of crude oil because Igbos were in control of Nigeria before Nzeogwu and co carried out the first coup and mind you, if Igbos had wanted secession, Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi stopped Major Jasper Adaka Boro from today Rivers State from leading Niger Delta to secede from Nigeria. Biafra secession was never a planned incident, it was done under duress to secure Igbos and Eastern Nigeria from Hausa-Fulani+Middlebelt massacre that followed after Nzeogwu coup + counter coup of 1966. So blame your brothers, the crime of the Igbos in Southeast is defending Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna coupists.....if they had denied them like you so called Delta Igbos abi Anioma or Ikwerre deny Igbos today, believe me, Hausa-Fulanis+Middlebelt would have wiped you guys out of Nigeria, so still thank God for Igbos in Southeast. If Aguiyi Ironsi had executed Nzeogwu and co, Igbos would have retained their control of Nigeria but Igbos in their usual "nwannem" attitude spared Nzeogwu and co which angered the north to plot a counter coup followed by pogrom against Igbos living in the north. I read another of your kind twisting history of how Biafran troops abandoned Asaba and destroyed Onitsha bridge that made federal troops to massacre Asaba people. See, its not good to tell lies....remember, Nzeogwu and other Asaba indigenes who were soldiers under Nigeria were commanders in Biafran side....Asaba people refused to join Biafra to fight....they stayed neutral....some even sabotaged Biafra by leaking info to Nigerian federal troops in Benin then.....they were forewarned that Biafran troops were withdrawing back to Onitsha after Biafra lost Ore-Benin side to Nigerian federal troops.....but they refused to listen but were busy learning new traditional and cultural dance they said they would use to welcome Nigerian federal troops and to show their solidarity to Nigeria against Biafra they refused to join... ...and Biafran troops placed Ojukwu bucket bombs, "Ogbuna-Igwe" at Niger bridge knowing federal troops must cross the river to enter Eastern Nigeria, then Biafran side....so they laid ambush for Nigerian troops at Niger bridge which they succeeded in killing hundreds and thousands of them at that bridge. And even if you guys like kill yourself and rename yourself, Hausa-Fulanis see you all as Igbo and if they want to kill or fight Igbos, they will first kill you guys standing idly in confusion of where you belong that's the bitter truth! So Biafran troops withdrawing from Asaba was military strategy to sustain the war not to punish Asaba people who refused to join Biafra...and even when they were told Biafran troops were withdrawing back to Onitsha, majority of them refused to flee to Onitsha side but said they would use cultural dance and traditional welcome to welcome Nigerian troops and make them understand that they are not with Biafra, that they believe in "One Nigeria", but it backfired!!! They were massacred by Nigerian troops! The few Asaba people that flee to Onitsha and Biafran side were spared.....but they were very few. Stop twisting history pls....and no matter what and how you guys deny we Igbos in Southeast, we still see you guys as our brothers.....and to tell you its not about crude oil do you guys at Asaba or Okpanam or Agbor, etc have crude oil NO!! 8 Likes |

franchasng: If igbos must survive in this Nigeria, they need to start doing what everyone else has been doing. They need to start watching out for igbo interest only. Other tribes only use us to fight for them when they have no where else to turn to but are quick to detach from us and call us all kinds of Abusive names once they get what they want. Also it’s time for REAL igbos to disassociate from any group of igbos that is suffering from identity crisis. If not we will continue paying the price of what members of those groups do. Can you believe that Nzeogwu’s people don’t even see themselves as igbos but igbos died for what their son did. If this current igbo generation doesn’t learn. They will end up exactly like the previous generation 4 Likes 1 Share |

franchasng: No real difference in the story, the megalomaniac had no intelligence in actual combat. The hero of that story is General Gowon who magnanimously ordered for Military Officer’s burial because at those early stages ( police action) he ( Gowon) was hoping that the Biafrans would see reason and call off the secession. Gowon considered all Biafran Officer such as Nigerian Officers - misguided. |

einsteine:If you can be honest for once, you can tell how much Igbos hate Rochas, Kalu (OUK), Una, Ohakim, Theodore Orji and co. Check the Igbo politicians Igbos cherish and support, they are exemplary even in global politics. But the issue is under Nigerian constitution drafted by corrupt Hausa-Fulani military dictators and backed by corrupt Yoruba elites, there is nothing much Igbos can do to the corrupt Igbo politicians in southeast because Nigerian system shield powerful corrupt people. Take a look at Imo state now, Imo people hate Hope Uzodimma not from last year but decade ago because he is a dubious 419ner suspected to also have hand in money rituals and reason Imo people have not been voting him massively for so many years he has been contesting for Governorship position, not until recently that Hausa-Fulani + Yoruba corrupt Supreme Court decided to foist him on IMO people against their wish! This is why Igbos are asking for Biafra, so our finest brains from all over the world can contribute to ideas to make excellent constitution that does not support or condone leadership corruption, and so that we Igbos can deal with our bad eggs by ourselves using our own unique constitution and laws, that's why we want Biafra. we want to be solely in charge of our security and our destiny so that if we fail we know we failed ourselves and if we succeed we know we succeeded, not strangers and enemies deciding our fate and future like it is now. Remember, all humans are selfish and corrupt, all they need is the enabling environment to practice their corruption. Take a look at Israeli Prime Minister Nethanyahu, he is facing corruption allegation of diverting money meant for public, a former Israeli President was removed for rape...so when Israel was seeking for independence, it does not mean Israel does not have corrupt and bad citizens among them, they are in all tribes, races and religion but it is institutions that control and curtail human excesses, and such institutions, Hausa-Fulanis don't want them established in Nigeria and reason Igbos really need to be free from Nigeria.
