Roland17:


A big Amen to this prayer!

nihilistjnr:


But let's blame the deceased Queen of England. She should apologise for her inactions during the war and ever since.

BlueRayDick:


I don’t think anybody should be blaming the queen for us not moving past a war that ended 52 years ago.

Even Rwandans that fought a deadly civil war as recent as 28 years ago have moved on and already making their country a number 1 tourist destination in Africa .

seankafor:
bro on one was blaming the queen for today's unbecomings as nihilist and above posters paints it to seem

If someone was at the forefront of your maltreatment, let's say 50 years ago.. yes today you have moved on.. but let's say that person happens to die or an event happens that makes you remember those days and you re opportuned to voice your opinion.. will you sing kumbaya to the culprit in the name of moving on?

Won't you recount those years the person maltreated and treated you wrong?
I don't get what these. People mean

So we shouldn't remember what the Britain and hag Elizabeth did to our fathers in the Biafra struggle just because we have moved on?

Amoto94:
Like I have always maintained there are lines you don't cross and once you chose to cross such you should be prepared to face any consequence that follows suit, we don't pick which line to cross at our convenience and not expect a pushback. To some it is their faith, ethnicity, family, source of livelihood, friends and others it is something other than those; I always avoid insulting the sensibilities of others but once you insult mine expect my reaction.

Why do you always type irrelevant things

BlueRayDick:
As far as this civil war matter is concerned , I will suggest individuals should try and get books written by different actors in the war and then form ur own opinion about what really happened in the war. We should stop basing our opinions on few people who just want to write things from their own viewpoint only .

Myself for example I’ve read Obasanjo’s account of the war, Wole Soyinka’s “the man died “, Chukwuemeka Ike’s “Sunset at dawn “ , Chinua Achebe’s “ There was a country “ ..:.. I could sense the bias of different authors and yet I could still make out some of the stuff that were facts and those that are just emotional diatribe .

However , if u only read opinions of ur revered author and choose to read other pieces without open mind, u are sure to believe some falsehoods that have been repeated so much that it now looks like the truth

donjazet:



Thunder fire your wretched mouth into the abyss.

You are a fvcking hypocrite!
Show me where Peter Obi in anyway denigrated an entire tribal group but here we have the wife of your candidate on 3 separate occasions insulting the igbos. From publicly saying her and her husband don't trust the igbos again to laying curses on Igbos with the local gods, to Tinubu imposed oba trying to force all igbos in Lagos to vote a particular candidate.

Tell me you're not mad like this?

Tinubu's base has become as sadistic and tribalistic as can be.
Just look at how Roland17 poured out his heart and grief as to how the war affected his family personally only for nihilist, a yoruba Tinubu supporter to swoop in and insult the hell out of him without an iota of emphaty to his pain.

Larride, can you point me to where you condemned rabbit and adepoju for saying igbos are cannibals, igbos are ugly, igbos are effeminate, igbos are transgenders?

Can you show me where you condemned those hateful talking points??

Useless hypocrites!!

BlueRayDick:


Let me ask u a question ; Nigeria gained independence from Britain in 1960 and 7 years after Nigeria goes into a civil war in a bid to fight for the sole of the nation…… Theowback to 55 years ago; who would u have supported? Is it the country u granted independence or its breakaway version ?

Most times when we talk about the civil war, everyone wants to talk about the casualty on one side of the war instead of talking about the root and remote causes of the war.

We should be talking about the 1966 progroms, the coups that led to loss of lives on both sides , etc. These aforementioned issues are not British caused but issues amongst our people who could not live at peace with each other .

The British monarch saw two brothers willing to kill each other and the British monarch only sided with one party against the other. That’s all.

We are our own problem . No be the British monarch that has 10’s of such countries with similar civil crises to deal with

Ojukwu, even victorious, will not be in a strong position.

He will require all the international help and recognition he can get.

The Federal Government would be much better placed both internationally and internally. They would have a cast iron case for the severest treatment of a company which has subsidised a rebel, and I feel fairly convinced they would press their case to the lengths of cancelling the Company's concessions and nationalising their installations.

I conclude, therefore, if the company does change its mind and asks the British Government for advice, the best that could be given is for it to clamber hastily back on the Lagos side of the fence with cheque book at the ready

OasisX:


He said yorubas are hostile to Igbos in Lagos and other western States, whereas Igbos are nice to yorubas in the East. Imagine that kinda nonsense from an old man as him?!

obainojazz:
This man captures it, I don’t even know anyone carrying Biafra on their head
Five years in Awka and I never heard it in lecture rooms or anywhere.
I guess people prefer being called Nigerians…. We hope whoever wins next year takes us forward

nihilistjnr:


You never heard of Massob or IPOB in Akwa?

I wonder if the people sitting at home every Monday did though...

Ofcourse they’ve been there but like I said, I personally don’t know anyone clamouring for Biafra and believe me, I have a large extended family as well as lots of friends.
I lived within the communities, travelled around Anambra and when enter buses… You’ll see more of Israel and Nigerian flags.
In my opinion, it’s more rampant in Abia and Imo state but Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi are pretty chill on the issue.
My opinion though

You're saying A, the person whose tweet you posted is saying B.

afrodoc:


The issue is that people keep changing the topic being discussed. It started with a debate over whether the late queen was responsible for the death of millions during the Biafra War but you are now presenting anecdotal evidence that nobody in the Awka is obsessed with Biafra.

Even if nobody in Awka thinks about Biafra that is not the question to be answered. How is the popularity of Biafra in Awka linked to the culpability of the queen (or other players) in the civil war.

obainojazz:
Well doc, if y’all want to keep discussing the Queen and Biafra… y’all can continue
I saw something on frontpage nairaland I second with and brought here

Finally, no one’s blaming the Queen for Biafra… but as it is all over the world…. Some are happy she kicked bucket, some are sad.

obainojazz:
I showed you the first screenshot where he said it’s dead in the South East
I further stated I don’t know anyone carrying the matter for their head but all these you chose to ignore
Obviously I’ve seen in the media people supporting Ipob and I know it’s an issue
I moved out of Awka around 2016, one year after Buhari… I can definitely Buhari made Nnamdi Kanu popular because dude was irrelevant
Now he wears rabbi hat like some god

afrodoc:



No one is blaming the Queen for Biafra?

nihilistjnr:


Yeah but you omitted the rest of the thread where he calls out IPOB, ESN, and Ebube Agwu specifically for what they're doing.

He denounces IPOB as terrorists and their actions as Gang wars.

What he said did not support your anecdotal argument that you'd never seen or heard about IPOB in 5 years.

The man is literally telling you that these IPOB guys are active all over the south east and using the Biafra cause to prosecute their selfish business.

Like I said, A and B
