I have 3 real Igbo friends that are my close friends... please get the facts right. Let me break it down. * There was a coup d'état in January 15, 1966 led by Maj. Kaduna Nzeogwu (Igbo) which consisted of mostly Igbo majors that killed Northern and South western govt officials (politicians). NO Igbo or South Easterner was killed! 13 men were killed () here is the link online - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_Nigerian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat * There was a counter coup d'état led by by Lt Colonel Murtala Muhammed which consisted of Northern military officials because the Head of State (General Aguiyi Ironsi) refused to punish the Igbo Majors that killed the Northerners, 2 men were killed (General Aguiyi Ironsi and Lt Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_Nigerian_counter-coup * After the counter coup, the Northerners in the North still were not satisfied that the coup plotters who murdered Prime Minister Abubakar Balewa & Premier Ahmadu Bello were still alive so they started killing Igbos in the north - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_anti-Igbo_pogrom * Instead of Ojukwu to insist on a diplomatic solution (like increasing security in the North), tracking down the northerners that killed the innocent Igbos in the north and ensuring that those Igbo majors are sentenced for staging a coup, what the coward bast@rd do? Declare war... and caused the death of over 1 million of his own tribes men... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_War There was/is no conspiracy against Igbos, the issue was how the stu..pid man called Ojukwu handled an issue that should have not descended into war... please read up on those links i posted. plaetton: 3 Likes 1 Share |

Mortiple:Once upon a time, there was a warlord named odumegwu Ikemba Ojukwu. He wrongly fought for the disintegration of Nigeria by trying to carve out a biafran territory. This action led to a civil war and ojukwu's actions led to the death of millions igbos. Instead of standing by them to fight and defend them, he fled cowardly to ivory coast on exile. The actions of the civil war are still unforgiven by the igbos till today. They forgot the then head of state was under a mandate to protect the territorial integrity of Nigeria. Since the head of state was a northerner, igbos have Since hated the north and Yoruba's. They are the major followers of this administration even though its obvious that its not performing. They prefer to suffer and live in penury than vote for the right change. This is why they consider buhari as a wrong candidates whereas had APC presented a young hausa/yoruba in his 40's, they will still label him no good. This is just to educate the ignorant ones about the reason why the igbos decided to follow Jonathan like a fly following a corpse to the grave. Shame catch dem. GMB don win ![]() 6 Likes |

this shouldn't be on front page. one Nigeria. and for Igbo asking for separation, just know that we stand to lose the most. that's the fact don't stay in the south east and cause trouble for us in other parts of nigeria. our parents who experienced d war don't want it while some elements who no nothing of war are here beating drums. the truth of d matter is that Ojukwu was to blame for the deaths of Igbos. azikiwe didn't support the war. We should objectively look at the war and know who was d true hero/zero. after causing so much suffering he ran away. God will judge sha. we better make something out of Nigeria instead of fighting for a dead dream. things will be much worse. I repeat that we are the ones gaining the most from this so called forced union. "nganga" that's our problem. 5 Likes |

To the Nigerian army it was never a war, it was more of thrill seeking to them and I have people who fought or rather killed biafra cowards during the war. As for calling Yorubas cowards; well we know those who refer to a runaway zero a hero. Anyway 2 Likes

superstar1:It might interest you to know that cassava sticks resisted your T72 tanks for 3 years. That's very shameful on the side of your T72 tanks. If that is not heroism, then heroism can be better defined that Nigeria invited Britain, Egypt, Yugoslavia, USSR, Egypt, Ethiopia to help them fight their enemies with cassava sticks. |

Being an Igbo man/woman makes one a STAR by default in Nigeria. We are the centre of attraction. The HausaFulanis and their Yorubas slaves can't stop watching their backs even forty years after the war. God simply made us a higher specie. That's why we move like a Train with the speed of light. They can't simply fathom how we do what we do. Its the Lords doing and its marvelous in their eyes. Doesn't it beat your imagination that forty years after the war and forty years of HausaFulanis ruling and ruining the contraption called nigeria the north remains the poorest region, with half of their population engaged in their best known profession, begging arms with leprosy hands. Doesn't it beat your imagination that forty years after the war irrespective of all awolowo did to suppress the progress of Ndigbo after the war, Ndigbo lives in better part of lagos and eats well cooked three square meals daily while yorubas live in boys quarters and drink garri all day. My advice to yorubas is this. If you so hate the Igbo man for being blessed, do what your father awolowo did; HANG YOURSELVES. 2 Likes |
