Katsumoto: I will respect anyone who can prove the following:

1. Awolowo was released before July 30th
2. It was Ojukwu's car that took Awo to Ikenne
3. Ojukwu was so strong and powerful from his base in Enugu that he prevented Gowon from re-arresting Awo once Awo left the Eastern region and arrived in the Western region
4. Ojukwu started the process of releasing Awo from prison as soon as Ojukwu became Governor but it was a coincidence that it was effected one week after Gowon became Head of State
5. Ojukwu was responsible for paying the salaries of the warden in Calabar
6. Ojukwu stopped receiving his salary from the federal government and ensured that all easterners stopped receiving their salaries as well as soon Gowon became HOS

Katsumoto:

1. Thats an ignorant statement (Awo and Akintola feud).

2. Yes Awo didn't want Nigeria but Awo's destiny should not be predicated by the whims and caprices of the Igbo. So you think Awo should have been waiting for the Igbos to change their minds about Nigeria? Do you think this is kindergarten?

3. Who said anything about Igbos being more intelligent? An Igbo man promulgated a decree to level the playing field in another region while another Igbo man (Ojukwu) naively announced to the world that the Igbo would export Igbo civil servants to the rest of the country. Where did you read that it was based on merit?

Why do some people claimed AWO was against the igbos?

The letter confirmed its the northerners that are anti-igbo and events since then have shown who are their enemies.

bashr8: igbos dont and never needed awo but u coming here and trying to paint a traitor like him as a saiint is really mischievous . as for igbos announcing about exporting civil servents it confirms our intelligence and how far ahead we were to you , now europeans, indians, chinese, lebanese etc all exports civil servants and professionals to different countries including nigeria ,i bet you over look that one , you just a typical bad stereotype of a black man

@^^ Awo was never against the Igbos. Doing what was expedient and necessary for your own survival during war time(s) does not equate or imply "hate/against" the Igbo. Only lazy immature minds who know nothing about "WAR" or its implications/consequences would think otherwise and want to hang their inherent prejudices/hang-ups on him or policy. It is very convenient to blame him for all manner of ineptitudes inherent in the Nigerian structure. Igbos are noted for bad decisions and pointing fingers at the wrong direction like most other Nigerians anyway . It is a national culture of "living in denial". It is as Nigerian as Pounded yam .

dayokanu: Thats why in war you should take the benjamin Adekunle approach. Kill every opponent

Yorubas would say Oju afoofotan, ija lon da sile. If you want to make somene blind, dont do it partially cos it would cause war in the future

Defeat your opponents totally so there wont be a doubt about it.

no victor, No Vanquish My asss

bashr8: you are not intelligent at all , igbos keep records of their own we dont keep records of how many northern christaians have been killed by muslim northerners, and how many yorubas, edos ,igala, southerners etc that have been killed in riots in the north. whos fault that yorubas dont care about their dead in order not to offend their northern masters. denial have always been in yoruba dna, keep licking northern a,ss even in military era they slaughtered all your leaders right there in yorubaland they set you up to kill yourselves in operation wettie and over ran your region yet you keep bowing to them , what a shamles set of people.

The United Nations Genocide Convention [/b]particularly mentions acts committed "with intent to destroy" a human group, and [b]Lord Stonham [/b]speaks of "the deliberate destruction" of such a group. For nearly a quarter of a century [b]Northern Nigerians have publicly expressed their intense hatred of Biafrans and, on the slightest excuse, have physically demonstrated their intention to destroy them. Several outbreaks of Nigerian hostility to Biafrans occurred from time to time even during the British colonial era. In 1945 Northern Nigerians set upon Biafrans resident at Jos and massacred them. But the British Administration did not take the matter seriously and did not even conduct an inquiry into the gruesome episode

KDULAR: To every Yorubaman on this thread I'll say why would you continue to drag issues with those who are hell bent in engaging in nothing else but arguments and ethnic chauvunism. If Awo is not goood, thanks we know, Yorubas are fool, cowards idiots stinking and uneducated etc, yes we hear. "We (Igbos) have surpassed you in educational, technlogical and social achievements", yes we know. "Infact all the achievements of the western region was because of Igbo mans presence in the land" , yes we know (mute). "Awolowo is a criminal" yes we know, however, Chief Ojukwu said he was the best president Nigeria never had.

bashr8: have you buried 500 hundred thousand soldiers killed with made in aba guns? untill you do that shut your trap. and for your info , [b]adekunle only killed women and children in bayelsa and rivers state(old rivers)that was his only achievement before he became a crack addict , we should give him cookies for that [/b]nigeria army never and will never stand a chance against igbos any day anytime, it unfortunate egyptians where also bombing biafra beleiveing they are fighting a jihad against christians while britains was fighting to get oil by all means if not of them they wont be any nigeria for you to talk about.

bashr8: yeah after you have been captured by the north they now recruited you into their army , talking about denial there is nothing for us to deny , igbos wanted out,the non igbo niger deltans wanted out(they fought the federal govt for 12 days for that even before biafran war) yourbas wanted out even the north wanted out only igbos had the balls to actually leave but because your european masters dont like it they convienced your slave ass to go and scarifice your fathers and brothers just to bring igbos back and then you come all day on nairaland that igbos want to dominate you and that we are tribalistic ,indeed stupidity thrives in your DNA do you even know what you want as a human being , you guys disgust me and you act like zombies

bashr8: nobody cares about awo or yorubas , its shamful that the tension was between igbos and hausa/fulanis but yorubas always want to involve themselves anytime its brought up just to defend their slave masters in the north . you people just mind your buisness and nobody will discuyss you , as for awolowo he is a criminal it is what it is after all it was not an igbo man that imprisoned him it was your slave masters in the north that dealt with him and killed several other yoruba leaders while you keep worshiping them.

Hip hip hooray!

Dede1: I am so happy that Yoruba people and non-Biafran southerners have congregated here again to unload irresponsible falsehood about the events of July 29, 1966 to May 29, 1967.

It is unfortunate Yoruba peeps who are shouting their voices hoax about broadcast of August 1, 1966 made by Gowon failed to see the damning politics in signing the release of Awolowo from prison when on the same broadcast, Gowon informed anybody with ears that he (Gowon) did not have control over eastern region of Nigeria.

It is only a moronic dingbat will accept the fact that Lt Col Ejoor, Commodore Wey and Lt Col Hassas Katsina constituted the executive council that anointed Gowon the Head of State.

It would have been balanced art of contortion if these deluded revisionists have iota of decency to mention to undiscerning onlookers on the board that Lt Col Ojukwu issued a counter radio broadcast to the one Gowon gave on August 1, 1966.

bashr8: adekunle only killed women and children in bayelsa and rivers state(old rivers)that was his only achievement before he became a crack addict , we should give him cookies for that .

shymmex:

Don't you think it's foolhardy to go to war without gaining extra ground? No buffer zone - the war was fought on Igbo land, from the beginning to the end...

That's like fighting your enemy in your own house..

Ojukwu messed up... Call a spade a spade, and let's move on...

The new war is against Boko Haram, and corruption.

Aigbofa:

They are the most annoying people on the face of the planet. They whine like spoilt little petulant kids. Yoruba stole my garri, Awolowo took my bread! Kilode?

bashr8: it is you yorubas that are anooying , nobod mentioned yoruba but as always you always want to defend your slave masters in the north , you wont even see any of them comment , shameless things, you need to start minding your buisness.we have mentioned it several times we dont want to be in the same country with you and ur masters , get it into your thick skull and stop crying about igbos olodo
