You are actually super stupid. And you reason like a shit eating slowpoke.

Is she angry at Nigerians, just imagine the daft questions you are asking, when a woman explained herself to pieces.

As for me I am happy at Nigerians for constantly denying burying distorting twisting and falsifying historical certainties. I am happy for having people who do not understand the plan and torture our parents and grandparents went through make statement like this. " Awolowo should have sacrificed more of those bastard kwashiokor babies" those mockeries are even being made on these threads. Those are hate speeches those things are being mad eon twitter do you know you cannot say such stuff about the RWANDAN GENOCIDE or the Holocaust.

So you are telling me that this woman shouldn't be angry. There is no human being with a heart who has watched or followed the civil war and documentaries and has not been reduced to tears. It is only you devilish children of hate and Genocide who have the spirits of AWOLOWO and Ahmadu Bello inside of you who express emotions differently (on favour of the (GENOCIDERS) Keep deceiving your useless self.

We are talking about GENOCIDE, STARVATION, WAR CRIMES you go go dey here dey talk rubbish, person dey traumatized, una go still dey ask useless questions. There's no point trying to explain anything to you. For the fact you fit dey dismiss that tangible explanation that women gave shows you are as useless and stupid as the rest of the idiots in this forum if not more.

Children of the devil and Genocide.

No, your mother is super stupid not me.

Again the war was between Nigerians and Biafrans. Just like Russia and Ukraine today, each side had their supporters.

I have yet to see the disdain this your dumbass embarassing Madame Uju Anya has for any of the other Nigerian supporters like Russia, Israel, Canada, Egypt etc?

And while we are at it who is going to atone for the millions of innocent Igbo newborn twins killed ignorantly in Igbo land before the the British came and educated them? You guys are ridiculously crying up and down about genocide while hiding the one you have already done on your own people so una go feat collect from British Monarch.

Was the war even necessary?

It wasn't. An Ibo man carried out a coup, killing some top men from other regions. The Hausas were angry, so they killed some Ibos in thier regions. Gowon came in, and with the whole tension Ibos declared they wanted sovereignty. So Ojukwu stopped sending money to the central government.

Ghana asked both parties to come in for the Abari accord where Ojukwu expertly fouled Gowon into signing some documents that would make the Head of State a figure head. When they came back to Nigeria, Ojukwu wanted to fulfil the terms of the contract that was when Gowon knew he was played.

And that was how a full blown war started with BOTH PARTIES SUFFERING CAUSALITIES. Other players like France, Germany, US, Russia all had sides that they supported in the way. Same as Britain.

that woman is a fool

that civil war started with the killing of all the northern leaders including the then prime minister and sadauna of sokoto. who was like the regional governor in a time of 3 regions. also other top northern soldiers.

What is funny is that azikiwe was president and senate president was a man called nwafor. Head of miltary too was Nzeogwu.

Uju is actually very dull to be a prof. If she's going to blame UK monarch for genocide against the Igbos, she should as well as blame American government. Both UK and USA provided Nigeria with weapons while France provided Biafra with weapons and mercenaries. Now to put all the blame on a British monarch that doesn't have constitution power says a lot about her level of intelligence. To now think that she lives and lectures in US university reeks of hypocrisy and stupidity
A professor that doesn’t even know that the position of the queen she’s been blaming was (and is still) largely ceremonial, she had no such power to invade other countries.
If we are to go by the inept thinking of Uju, then France, South Africa, the republic of China, Israel and all other countries that supported the pigs of Biafra should apologize to Nigerians too. Why is this decorated lesbian fool not calling out the US government for also supporting Nigeria at the time? Again, I maintain that you can’t kill other people’s sons and revered leaders while sparing the lives of your own and expect them to give you a pat on the back. The igbos got what they rightly deserved. We all lost during the war, so every effort to distort history will be met with strong resistance from we the sensible majority.

Latakia:
The British colonial masters left us with a perfect system of government (REGIONAL GORNMENT) where every region controlled her resources and pay tax to the central government. The Igbo tribe because of their greediness and selfish interest for power so as to dominate other tribes in Nigeria stage the followings:

1- First military coup where all Nigerian leaders from other tribes were killed except their own.

You might want to revisit your Nigerian history. The killing of Igbos started as far back 1945 when they were massacred in Jos, and in 1953 when they were massacred in Kano. But the only coup you Nigerians remember is the first coup that was tagged "Igbo coup". Other coups that claimed far more lives dont bother you people



2- Destroyed regional gorvenment and introduced UNITARY GORVENMENT through a dubious constitution that was quickly drafted by Professor Nwabueze which is seen in the picture being pushed by Peterrorist Obi Pandora.

The Regional government where every Region controlled their resources and paid the government at the centre was removed by Gowon. It was Gowon that used Decree 14 to abolish all 4 Regions of the time, replaced them with 12 states, and scrapped resource control. No military government writes constitution, they rule by decree


3- invaded Benin city, killed a lot of people so as to dominate them.

4- Ojukwu went as far as Ore in present day Ondo state, is Ore part of Biafra land? Abi na Queen Elizabeth tell the fool to invade Ore?

It was the Biafra/Nigeria war, Ojukwu was entitled to invade Benin, Ore or anywhere in Nigeria same as Nigeria invaded Enugu and Onitsha

If anyone was killed in Benin, their relatives are free to do what Uju Anya did on Tweeter, she is not stopping them.



5- Declared war on Nigeria, a war he wasn't prepared for which led to the killing of his kisnmen after running on exile to Ivory Coast.

Ojukwu never declared any war, Gowon was the one who declared war and sent Soldiers to the East. Ojukwu only wanted to go his way with his people. At least Ojukwu fought for the freedom of his people before running away. You people cant fight for even 3 minutes to even talk about getting to the stage of running away

6- Killed Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello, Okotie Eboh, Akintola and still went to the Kano state in the heartbeat of the city boasting of how they killed northern leaders which led to the pogrom in the north.

Today the idiots are playing the victims card after calling the country zoo.

You should be thanking them for calling Nigeria a zoo. Nigeria is poverty capital of the world and second most terrorised country on earth, much worse than a zoo

If Uju were in the UK, there is a possibility that a nationalist would have assassinated her. You encourage people to keep talking anyhow. At least you cannot do the same to Islam in public.
On the Benin invasion, the Bini kingdom was already weak in the late 19th century. Ovonramwen killed tens on British soldiers. On expecting war with the British, many innocent indigenes were sacrificed to appease the gods to favour him in the war. Then the British came with a force and showed him the Art of War and looted. To the victor, all the spoils. That was the story. There was a provocation.
You should be lucky that it is the British empire in power. If Hitler had succeeded, a rebellious tribe would have been exterminated. If you have a problem with colonization, then your people instead of fighting stupid battles, looting resources and being corrupt should create a formidable military. From Day 1, Earth has been about conquest. We speak English because our ancestors were weak.

Dr Anya hasn't stopped you from criticizing any unforeseen support to a dieing monarch/leader of France or any country you feel supported biafra.

Her response is from a place of anger ; which is her fundamental right as clarified by her university...


EDUCATION IS DEAD IN NIGERIA

With respect to the Biafra war, I will never criticize any foreign power. Unlike Uju, I'm knowledgeable enough to put the bulk of the blame on Gowon and Ojukwu, the 2 idiots that used their egos to put millions of people in war. Even if UK, US or France supplied the weapons, it was Nigerians and Biafrans that used the weapons to kill people.
I understand her response is from a place of anger, and I'm not in a position to tell her how to feel. However, if she's going to pour her anger on a dead monarch, she should as well pour it on American government that supplied Nigerian government weapons during the war. Otherwise, she's just an ignorant individual that's displaying her hypocrisy and stupidity to the world.

Because nzeogwu was the leader made it an Igbo coup?? What about Brig. Ademulegun?? What about Brig. Maimalari? These were nzeogwu’s right hand men who carried out the coups and actively pulled the triggers, BUT no! You all now made it look like nzeogwu was at different places at the same time shooting people?

For future sake, I need to correct your own part of the story.
Both Brig Ademulegun and Brig Maimmalari were not part of the coup plotters, in fact, the coup plotters murdered the two.
I can give you the list of the coup plotters and also the list of the "murdered" if you care for it.

Your opinion is yours and you are very well entitled to them. Back then Nigeria was still in the full grips of the British government. America wouldn’t have done zilch if the British didn’t sanction it then. Gowon and ojukwu were less than 33 years old when that war started, gowon wasn’t even married then, most of the top military guys were either newly married or single at that age so it is understandable, the ego and lack of diplomacy they possessed for men their age. Nobody is excusing them but that war could have been averted if the British government stayed out of it. An agreement was reached at Aburi for goodness sake! Only to be thwarted by the behest of the British government.

It was Ironsi that removed regional government..

for you and people like you, you prefer the killing of millions of Binis, Yorubas and other tribes in Nigeria than to say and accept that Ojukwu and Azikwe were wrong to start a war...

mind you, the relatives of the people killed have already taken their revenge between 1966 - 1970 by killing millions of i:gbos, they don't need to rant on t:witter...

If Ojukwu "only wanted to go his way with his people" then he won't be attacking other tribes in the south and seizing their indigenous lands, attacking other tribes and seizing their land is declaration of war... H:erdmens are doing similar which has led to tribal vigilantes, who are rising up and fighting back and killing them..
