Oshodia:If Gowon is in Lagos ko. If you were in the Yoruba's positiion would you give them free passage into Enugu knowing that your people will be kill in the war they have nothing to gain. You may call the Yoruba's betrayal, but i will rather betray an outsider than to witness my people slaughter as part of casualties of war that the Biafran rebels stand no chance of winning in the first instance 2 Likes |

T9ksy: No, I spoke the truth or are you not one of the people who suggest we let you people turn our own land into a theatre of war? Why not go north or you think this is the Israelites journey where you first come to the west, en-route the north? This is really funny, but it is worse that someone still cannot see the foo.lishness of the decisions taken back then and till today somehow suggests biafran army should have been allowed to go through? Unbelievable! |

ckkris: It is also time to I read what General Akirinade said about him. He narrowly escaped that operation through the Onne port which led to the death of 3000 federals in one day. Now what is he bleeping about in his book? He should also be grateful to Col Achuzia and his Biafran troops for sparing him alive somewhere at Nkpor shortly before the cessation of hostilities. Is it frustration of being left out of the spoils of victory, with Obj and Danjuma etc taking the garlands? May be he would go to his grave with these regrets because he can't turn the hands of the clock.Gen Adekunle, Oluleye etc were also left to rot in penury for their troubles.. |

The present generation of Laptop and ipad kids are likely going to question everything, and its good to make the facts available to them, so that they can always make well-informed decisions. Its is also prudent to IGNORE irrelevant posts that don't address these historic and verifiable facts. |

[b]Adekunle led the Third Marine Commando Division with such great panache and determination that the foreign media, in looking for a human angle on the Biafran war, found him a ready source of news. Adekunle was a key champion of the food blockade to Biafra. In a wartime interview he had with Randolph Baumann of Stern Magazine in Igweocha (published on August 18, 1968), he stated:[3] ADEKUNLE: In the section of the front that I rule—and that is the whole south front from Lagos to the border of Kamerun—I do not want to see the Red Cross, Caritas Aid, World Church delegation, Pope, Missionary, or UN delegation. STERN: Does that mean that the many thousands of tons of food that are stored in Lagos will never get to the refugee camps in your section of the country? ADEKUNLE: You are a sharp one, my friend. That’s exactly what I am saying. STERN: But you said yourself that most of the refugees in the part you captured are not Ibos. ADEKUNLE: But there could be Ibos among them. I want to avoid feeding a single Ibo as long as this whole people have not given up yet. STERN: Do you sometimes feel sympathy for the Ibos? ADEKUNLE: I have learned a word from the British, which is “sorry”! That’s how I want to respond to your question. I did not want this war but I want to win this war. Therefore I have to kill the Ibos. Sorry! The End. Gen. Adekunle's son wrote an account of his father's military career in a biography titled The Nigeria-Biafra Letters: A Soldier's Story.[/b] |

Sloan: Slowpoke, It is a crap such as above junk from demented and ill-educated reprobate envisages indelible enmity between Yari,ba people and Ndigbo. Nobody in Biafra or Igbo land expected any free passage from Yari,ba but had expected inherently cowered people to evict Gowon who had made Lagos a comfortable home from where he and Nigerians attacked Biafra. Contrary to your silly conjectural crap, Biafrans had no interest in fighting anybody rather wanted a country different from the cesspit called Nigeria which was/is filled to the brink with regrettable villains such as you. In fact, your post conveyed one thought which is very common among Yari,ba people. It is better imagined than to be told. 3 Likes |
Re: Brigadier-general Alabi Isama's Rants. by debetmx(m): 10:21am On Jan 08, 2014 |
DerideGull: My dear deludedgull, How low can you go? Your deluded selfish igbotic thought process gets miserably worse each passing second of your wretched life. You expected the Yoruba people who were pro-Federal to evict Gowon in furtherance of the interest of the ibos. The same Gowon who released the Leader of the Yoruba nation, Chief Obafemi Awolowo who had written a series of letters to the ibo Head of State, Aguiyi Ironsi to no avail. Why did all your brothers run back to the east when the crises started? Why did they not stay and enlist the help of the Yoruba in evicting Gowon? Isn't inherently clear to the Yoruba people that the interest of the ibos is paramount to that of other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. Do you remember the atrocities the biafran soldiers committed in occupying the Mid-West? When your brothers overthrew the legitimate Government of the day and made Aguiyi Ironsi, Head of State who made Lagos a comfortable home the Ndigbo had no problems with that. Lastly let me produce a part of Nzeogwu's last interview before he died. Ejindu: From the present chaos, what type of Nigeria do you envisage? Nzeogwu: In the first place, secession will be ill-advised, indeed impossible. Even if the East fights a war of secession and wins, it still cannot secede. Personally, I don’t like secession and if this country disintegrates, I shall pack up my things and go. In the present circumstances, confederation is the best answer as a temporary measure. In time, we shall have complete unity. Give this country a confederation and, believe me, in ten or fifteen years the young men will find it intolerable, and will get together to change it. And it is obvious we shall get a confederation or something near it. Nothing will stop that. Ejindu: Do you think there will be any war? Nzeogwu: No. Nobody wants to fight. The East which is best equipped and best prepared for war, does not want to attack anybody. The North cannot fight. And Lagos cannot fight now. If they had attacked the East in August or September, they would have had a walk-over. Today, I think they will be ill-advised to try. Ejindu: An Englishman said to me the other day that the best thing Ojukwu can do is to take over Lagos. Do you think he can do it even if he wanted to? Nzeogwu: Yes, I think the East is strong enough to do it if they want to. But it will serve no useful purpose. It can only serve to destroy life and property. You see, the effective power does not lie in Lagos but in Kaduna, and if you remove Gowon somebody else will take his place. If you capture the South against the North, all you can achieve is civil war, disintegration and border clashes. Ejindu: Finally, let me come to the controversy over your release. Much as it has been a popular action you have been released by the east government against the wish of the federal government. What do you say to that? Nzeogwu: All I can say is that I am happy and grateful to be out. We feel grateful to the Nsukka students for their persistent demand, and to the boys in the barracks for their pressure on the authorities in the east. And to the Nigerian public in general for their concern over our welfare. |

[quote author=DerideGull] Biafrans had no interest in fighting anybody rather wanted a country different from the cesspit called Nigeria As other parts of Nigeria, no longer seem satisfied with the outcome of the civil war, General Alabi-Isama is right to title his war-time memoir THE TRAGEDY OF VICTORY. And one of the most TRAGIC VICTIMS OF THE CIVIL WAR is obviously General Benjamin Adekunle, the Black Scorpion. |

I came here to read the rants I saw,and all of a sudden I see insults and tribal sentiments. The general was actually referring to OBJ and I wonder how the igbos got into this discussion. I beg all the tribal champions and ethnic champions to not look for every opportunity to unleash unnecessary insults. I believe if the war was fought in the SW,most of you here always heated up and ready to kill and chase out igbos (as if they are the problems of Nigeria) out of SW region experienced the war through the death of an uncle,a sister,a father,probably when making inciting comments, would be cautious. Be careful how you speak with passion for your tribe whether either igbo,hausa and yoruba because the people you fight for might be the person lying beside you stone cold because crises and tribal war isn't a good experience. Let's be matured. You can make your comment without trading insults. |

meccuno: The bolded portion above is exactly what Ojukwu was banking on (when he insisted on biafra, we stand ) but unfortunately, yorubas didn't swallow his bait which would have seen millions of yorubas dying for a supremacy tussle between the ibos and their former bedmate. |
