Nchara: He didn't have to. You should have cried to the guy who convinced you all to embark on a suicide misssion. |

www./1968_Biafra%20_Report_By_American_Jewish_Congress.htm i have a lot of repect for awo . the hausas accepts their action b4 and after the war against biafrans. even middle beltans accepts theirs too. what had the biafran states did against these two groups? "nothing" even we are trying to find a way in our heart to 4gv them. but the yoruba's try as much as they can to deny? and that makes it impossible for the biafrans. |

Eko Ile: my friend shut up ,awo had to obtain huge loan from imf to feed nigeria talkless of feeding biafra, who dash monkey banana and stop ranting cause your not making any sense. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by EkoIle1: 5:41am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Nchara: Who is ranting? Obviously you. You're siting here crying that your enemy own you garri, when the man responsible for you was taking bribes and denying you food. Abeg get out of here with that rubbish, Oh my god, my nemy is wicked, he didn't give me garri, he deny me akpu , This is funny for real. Btw, this is biafra turning down food supply,

Aigbofa: Yet he claimed what he never was capable of doing and somebody posted these lies here, not so? |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nobody: 5:42am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Nchara: Even in time of peace, can you just go into the central bank in your state and cart money away, saying you want to use it to solve some pressing problem? That is still called looting. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by bashr8: 5:43am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Aigbofa: you mean the guy who we cried to deliver us from the hands of wicked and backward people like you that have sworn that the black man will never move foward and will continue to be at the bottom of the ladder, pl gets your facts right about ojukwu. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nchara: 5:44am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Then I enquired what happened to the food we are sending to the civilians. We were sending food through the Red cross, and CARITAS to them, but what happen was that the vehicles carrying the food were always ambushed by the soldiers. Awo claimed here that ''we (Nigeria) were sending food to Biafra'' thru those named agencies. What a lie. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nobody: 5:46am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Enough about it already!! Even in the face of Truth, liars still talk The great sage obviously said it as it is because there is no sound argument against him. The town hall meeting was obviously before Ojukwu died and Ojukwu knew about it, So why didn't he just deny it? Why didn't he accuse Awolowo of what you eeediots are accusing Awolowo of? Why was he praising Awolowo while Awolowo said it in the interview that Ojkwu is irredeemable in his book and called him out? Why were you Igbos depending on your "enemies" for food? In a war? Why did Ojukwu kill Awo's kinsmen and claim the coup was to "make Awo the president"? Why didn't Ironsi release Awo from jail during 6 months of his tenure? If Awo was such evil like you eeediots claim why was Ojukwu praising him even after Awolowo made it plane that Ojukwu is unforgivable? And don't give me the Igbos are forgiving bullshit cause 3miilion lives involved and We all know Igbos ain't forgiving because you goons here still hate an innocent man (Obafemi Awolowo) talkless of a guilty man, Were Biafra soldiers waylaying the food? If not, why didn't they allow food planes in? Why? Look, Yorubas hold there leaders accountable very well even though that's why we can vote out the unwanteds. The day Igbos will start generally holding their leaders acountable, they will see less mediocre in their leadership, Ojukwu betrayed Igbos through his actions, He dragged other parts of the Eastern region into the mess. Invaded the Midwest and was heading west and you expect Awolowo to be friendly with him? |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nchara: 5:46am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Aigbofa: Where is the evidence of looting. Did the Central BANK OF NIGERIA in the East get its money from Western or Northern Nigeria? |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nobody: 5:46am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Nchara: The burden of proof is on you. But he didn't have to feed Biafrans anyway. You ceased to be his responsibility with Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by 9javoice1(m): 5:47am On Nov 28, 2011 |
by the matter of fact "i never blv awolowo of my love will say this kind of lies just to defend the indefendable" |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by EkoIle1: 5:47am On Nov 28, 2011 |
bashr8: STFU with your bait and switch 419. Nigerian and under Awolowo as the finance minister didn't borrow 1 kobo to fund the war, it remains the only war in history fought without debt. Btw, the quote below came from your kinsman.
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/10/gowon%E2%80%99s-post-war-policy-a-failure-ekwueme/ I keep telling you, STFU when we discuss Nigerian history, you are too ignorant and intellectually lazy to participate, you have nothing to offer. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nchara: 5:48am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Aigbofa: That proof is what am telling you now: Awo never fed Biafrans. Disprove me if you can. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nobody: 5:49am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Nchara: The Federal Government gets its money from all parts of Nigeria, some do contribute more than the other, but that is not a reason to declare secession and loot the central bank. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nobody: 5:51am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Nchara: And am supposed to believe you because you said so? |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nchara: 5:52am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Aigbofa: From this response, I gather that secession was declared because of money in the central bank located in Eastern Nigeria, right? New history lessons for me, indeed. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nchara: 5:52am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Aigbofa: Why would I believe Awo, especially when he lied blatantly? |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by EkoIle1: 5:53am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Nchara: But Ojukuw denied biafra food. You are yet to address that, instead you are going on and on about the man with zero responsibility to feed you while ignoring the man responsible that actually denied you food. Your argument is bogus and disingenuous, it's even laughable. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by 9javoice1(m): 5:53am On Nov 28, 2011 |
how many times did they accuse bush father falsely,did he responed? the best answer for a fool is "silent" ojukwu himself said that awolowo is "funny" even as he knew that ojukwu release him from prison did awo found it reasonable to put the history true that its ojukwu that release him, "no" instead he kept mute. wait when we get to hevean we will see who reach and who dont and then why. "that is the famous igbo song" |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by dayokanu(m): 5:56am On Nov 28, 2011 |
I prefer the Benjamin Adekunle way "I want see no Red Cross, no caritas, no World Council of Churches, no pope, no missionaey and no United Nations delegation. I want to prevent even one Igbo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves and when our troops march into the center of Igbo territory, we shoot at everything even at things that don't move" [img]http://bp3.blogger.com/_pyIBhtN_0F4/Rn465FD3haI/AAAAAAAAAI0/W5qMVDnJJII/s400/Benjamin+Adekunle+1.jpg[/img] These people who think in warfare you have to feed your enemies? Is this Mortal kombat? |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by bashr8: 5:56am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Aigbofa:funny people so biafra should have handed over its own resources to nigeria. these were two seperate countries incase you dont know |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nchara: 5:58am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Eko Ile: Ojukwu may have denied entry of foreign food via Nigerian soil because there were strong evidence of food tampering and poisoning from the Nigerian side. That claim is not beyond what Nigeria can do, even today. Still, that does not warrant Awo telling barefaced lies that Nigeria was supplying food to Biafra, does it? Biafra was getting food via Biafran boarders until those boarders were closed at the instigation of Gowon/Awo in order to enable them inspect and probably poison food that will come in via Nigerian soil. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by bashr8: 6:00am On Nov 28, 2011 |
dayokanu:another yoruba that showed his true hatred for igbos ,at least he was brave enough to admit it and we also seee how yorubas are proud of him for hating igbos so much. hope you people dont rewrite his own account of biafran war tomorrow |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by 9javoice1(m): 6:01am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Adekunle never deny his qoutes and actions, and that is why we dont care. but when you do evil and try to deny them, that is where you get more enemies. and this is the most problem between igbos and yorubas |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nchara: 6:02am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Okay!!! Enough of old history that will only keep going in circles. In retrospect can we say that Awo would be happy today for the Nigeria he fought to keep together? Tinubu can be easily said to be the Awo of today. What does he think about Nigeria's current situation in relation to Ojukwu and the biafra war? |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nchara: 6:03am On Nov 28, 2011 |
dayokanu: Indeed, better a brave truth than solicitous, lily-livered bare-faced lies. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by lagcity(m): 6:04am On Nov 28, 2011 |
A word is enough for the wise. Papa Awo was telling Igbos that they have enemies within but they are not listening. Igbo ronu ooo. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by EkoIle1: 6:05am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Nchara: You mean Awolowo colluded with foreign aid workers to poison food sent in from abroad? Or you are talking about the food you claimed Nigerian never sent to biafra? Which is which? You can't even keep up with your own lies and spin. I'm not interested in your lies, opinion and spin, ojukwu was taking bribe and extorting money for free food sent in by aid workers from abroad, he refused them landing rights unless thay pay him. He himself admited that he did, the aid workers are in the video and ojukwu dey inside too admitting the whole thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSqhqP3U-t4&feature=related Please save your bogus and irrelevant opinion. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by bashr8: 6:06am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Nchara:no its not enough we must trash it out with them , tomorrow now they will come and claim adekunle loved igbos so much . lagcity: so was it why igbos and other eastern peoples money were seized in south west and northern banks after the war? because they had enemies within? |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by Nobody: 6:06am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Nchara: So there was some food coming through Nigerian territory? And there was fear some may be poisoned. The question then is not whether food was coming from Nigeria, but the real origin of the food, which Ojukwu or any Biafran had no way of confirming. How then can you say with all certainty that Awo did not send any food. Perhaps Ojukwu was taking the food, divert it to the war front and then tell Biafrans the food was poisoned and therefore destroyed. |
Re: Exclusive - Chief Obafemi Awolowo On Biafra (in His Own Words) by bashr8: 6:11am On Nov 28, 2011 |
Aigbofa: awo did not send any food, however gowon insisted food sent by international organisations pass through nigeria which biafra rejected cause of reports of food poisoning and babies dying from foods that passed through the nigerian army. they had to fly in foods secretely at night to biafra . |
