I think we should not use the word "war" so carelessly when all we are talking about is an episode of village unruliness or petulance.Such palavers or melees in the Ilo are not quite what we mean when we talk about wars . Please!! 10 Likes |

Yeap. Igbos chased out the British. The yorubas hated it. The Hausas were given power because they welcome the Brits with open arms and obeyed every command without any question 2 Likes |

What convinced me that Igbo never had any leadership in their pre-colonial life is their present day political mis-calculations. They felt to align themselves with majority to lead the nation, they always use hatred to justify their political allies. Don't prosecute, I'm entitle to my opinion useless people. ![]() 7 Likes |

AlfaSeltzer:yeap. That's why even in nigeria of today, when a Yoruba gets into a fight with an Igbo man, he makes a lot of noise to attract other Yorubas that may be in the distance so they may help him fight the one Igbo man...classic chimpanzee characteristics cos I saw it happen once on NaGeo wild 12 Likes 1 Share |

[color=#990000][/color] ezeagu: wow... bush warfare indeed... one tactics the Biafrans used against the NA was felling trees along the highways and making vehicular movement difficult.... guess it was to make it possible to come in close contact and fight them physically... weaklings they must have been also terrified though armed... that is why when you see them exclaiming Biafrans fought with cassava sticks... funny thing is they don't know their fathers and uncles might have had their bloods on those sticks... as I have always asked and they never reply.. why did Adekunli flee and run from owerri to port Harcourt? he wanted to shoot at everything... why didn't he do it? uner their breaths they know he saw Biafra men and decided to run... Biafran boys with sticks chased a General away ... and they are not ashamed to laugh and scoff at brave Biafrans that took sticks to challenge their ancestors. I am a proud Biafran. I am not from Arochukwu... but stories I have heard... not even from Ndi Aro.. but the Europeans... how people from Arochukwu were doging bullets... seemed even unbelieveable to me... but if you want to see what a Igbo man can do... try and challenge him.... better be prepared for the worst... because he is. 18 Likes 5 Shares |

Eboes always lived in villages and have no knowledge of the complexities of statecraft and diplomacy. This explains their extreme clannishness .The Eboe identity was foisted on them by the British/Nigeria They were developmentally quite bakward relatively and have no meaningful history to share.They were essential a farm that the Efiks harvested for slaves for centuries 3 Likes 2 Shares |

I must admit; am a history buff myself. I enjoy history a lot cos Obama once said "you can't know where you're going if you don't know where you're coming from". But most Nigerians would tell me to forget history cos I can't get any good from it just because they feel uncomfortable telling the biafran story 5 Likes |

liberty300: Criminals ,Like those killed in Indonesia? In other News NDLEA arraigns two for importing cocaine http://www.punchng.com/metro-plus/ndlea-arraigns-two-for-importing-cocaine/ Two men, Gabriel Obi and Ugwu Geofrey, have been arraigned before a Federal High Court in Lagos for allegedly importing 110 kilogrammes of cocaine. The accused were arraigned by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on two counts bordering on drug trafficking. According to the prosecutor, Mrs. Ahaji Obiageri, the suspects conspired with one Chimezie Akunna, who is now at large, to commit the offence. The accused were said to have been apprehended by the NDLEA men in January 2011 at the Tin-Can Port, Lagos. They were said to have packaged the illegal substance inside a container and brought it into Nigeria from Bolivia. The charge read in part, “That you, Gabriel Obi, Ugwu Geofrey and Akunna Chimezie, on or about January, 13, 2011, at the Tin-Can Port, Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, without lawful authority, imported 110 kg of cocaine from Bolivia, South America, using a container ─ MSCU 3668026 ─ thereby committing an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 11(a) of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act Cap N30, Law of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.” ADVERTISEMENT The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges. The court adjourned the trial till June 24, 2015. |

You just sit at home and make empty threats all day and yet nothing to show for it. am not fan of tribalism but the way you lots go about it makes me sick.

If you don't make empty threat like a coward you are, why are you still leaving in Nigeria when you hate it? You aren't bold enough to fight for yourselves as you are held against your will and can't do anything about it. You are slaves in Nigeria, start behaving like it and shut up, fools! Btw, your article can't be trusted cos you are liars, suffering from inferiority complex. liberty300: 1 Like 1 Share |
