i am not debating with you,it's just that i want you to know the truth and the bitter truth, am a historian,am not lying to you.
Now take a look at the following:
1.AWOLOWO plotted the first coup in nigeria against the federal government and he was caught and imprisoned in 1963.if you doubt me go and read the history of nigeria by anifowose 1982.
2.ojukwu released him from prison in 1967.
3.he betrayed ojukwu by not seceding with the west.
4.he planned another coup in 1987,he wanted to overthrow IBB.
5.lateef jakande betrayed him by exposing him.
6.IBB gave him 3 options 1.court marshal.2.go on exile.3.go to prison.
7.it was gathered that he saw that those options will be heavy for him.
8.he decided to commit suicide.
It know that they won't tell you the truth.
Take a look again:
1.a yoruba man named ADEGBOYEGA was among the senior officials that plotted the 1966 coup.
2.the coup didn't lead to the civil war,the failure of gowon to implement the aburi accord which both him and ojukwu signed led to the civil war.
3.the aburi accord was aimed at 1.ensuring peace and stability in the country.2.grant of regional control of resources.3.stop the incessant killing of the innocent easterners e.t.c.
4.the federaral forces were the first to attack the biafran forces.
5.the biafran forces headed to the west because the seat of power as of then was in the west(lagos)and also it's were the forces fighting biafra troops were been sent from.
6.the biafrans didn't attack civilians while conquering ore and the mid west.if you doubt me go and read soyinka's book about the civil war.
7.the biafran troops were more fierce than the federal troops that's why they fought without red cross and also killed over 15,000 federal forces while federal forces killed less than 6,000 biafran soldiers.go and figure it out
8.the igbos are not crying for aguiyi ironsi because he brought his death upon himself by not trying the coup plotters instead he jailed them.
I am just telling all these because i know they won't tell you the truth.[b]

Herald47:
@shirley07,Ok,do you agree that the rest are true?
Why will i be consoling myself,after all:
1.The igbos has the lowest poverty rate in the nation.
2.they are among the most populous in the nation even in africa,it is estimated that they would have been the most populous if that they engage into polygamy in masses just like the yorubas and hausas.
3.They are among the prittiest breed in africa.
4.They are very successful in whatever they do.
Rememember am not debating with you,i just want you to know the truth which your people refuse to tell you.

Unlike you f*ools, we were strategic in our resistance during June 12 and pick our battles carefully. We only fight battles we can win. Awo realized Ojukwu was a fraud hence his alliance with the north instead of u losers.

And what do you have to show for those 3-yrs? 3-million wasted lives.

Shirley07:

What's this one saying?
So, Gowon, who released Awolowo is now Ojukwu? Or the Banjo that got released by Ojukwu has suddenly turned to Awolowo? It's lies that will kill you people.
Awolowo owe you ibos nothing.
Bunch of stup!d self entitled people! Idiots expecting Awolowo to join their stupid biafra cause while they kept invading and killing his people? Or should we talk about Ojukwu refusing to release Awolowo while realeasing his prison mates?
Humor me again, the same shameless people were expecting the north to keep supplying food to them while they were fighting and killing the same North? Shameless bunch.
Aburi accord? Where did that come from? You mean after killing several tribes' leaders, mocking the hausas on their land and killing the hausa in your midst, you wanted Aburi accord?
No be only Aburi accord, mtchew. Why don't you ask Zik and Ironsi why they stopped Odua and Niger delta secession respectively? These were long before ibo came with their stupid biafra which included other peoples' lands due to their greediness. So, Nigeria should leave you people while you were carving out other peoples' land?
Bunch of thieves!
Let me also make it known that whatever Awolowo planned, he was jailed for it.. That's considering his coup involved nobody death and I'm damn sure his coup wouldn't include killing several tribes leaders like the ibo did.
It's still a fact that the first coup plotted was executed by the ibos. You people should stop rewriting history.
Also, Awolowo never committed any suicide because no autopsy report claim such. It's no one problem if you ibos have comprehension problem to understand the word 'controversial death' which means divided opinions on his death. Bunch of retards!
Imagine telling me no one suffered during ibos invasion in the west when I know people that had first hand experience! How about the biafra incessant bombing of Lagos? Is Lagos an hausa land? Foolish people wanted to liberae Lagos by bombing its citizen? Who sent them such errands? Did we seek for their help?
Ibos should better go and look for the demon tormenting them 'cos no one is.
And if you people continue with your nuisance, you'll be dealt with in numbers!

BlackOnassis:
Obafemi Awolowo The Sage. When he was in charge, Western Region was the most advanced and fastest developing region in Africa, not just Nigeria! That should tell you something about Chief Awolowo's intelligence and efficiency. Dude was scary smart. He made other African leaders look like retards; if I was his contemporary, I would have hated his guts

[size=13pt]Indirect rule was success in North, failure in East but in West nobody knew their stand till today, you cant say whether indirect rule was a success or a failure in West, everything about a people is sitting on the fence, unable to create a clear cut agenda and unable to speak with one strong voice.

In Confab, South went with resource control as part of the agenda, South East stood on resource control, South South stood on resource control, when it got to South West Lagos delegates where saying different things, yoloba delegates where saying another things(that everybody will control resources except oli), Afenifere was waiting to know what the North will say in order not to ruffle their feathers....this was how everything about resource control fall yakataaa[/size]
