superstar1:[quote author=superstar1 post=36058450] Awo died a miserable death committing suicide. betrayed by his greedy people( Jakande) and disgraced by the Arewa after he failed again at treason. Deal with it. There is nothing natural about suicide or treason, blame Awo insatiable hunger for power. Achebe died a fulfilled man, he didn't need Nobel prize to be relevant, he was voted times magazine most influential man in Africa before his death. He remains the foremost African literature giant. His works speak for him. Abiola died in ignominy and shame, striped of his ill gotten wealth by his Arewa masters, allowed to rot in prison by greedy hungry Obas, and then died in misery and neglect. If that's your idea of martyr, then be my guest, I wouldn't know, after all I am not from the lands where "suffersticated" politics are played. Radio Kudirat was a personification of cowardice from the usual suspects from SW. It was a joke. Yes International politics killed Abacha, he refused to roll with the powers that be, and so his head had to roll. Kinda similar to Mutala Muhammad. It wasn't some cowards that can't even liberate themselves and their towns from Fulanis in Kwara, that got rid of Abacha, lol! Before you knew what presidency was, while Awo was busy plotting treason, Zik was already a President. Before you produced a military head of state, Ndiigbo already had, you are today celebrating VP in 2015, but Ndiigbo achieved that since 1979, we became house speakers and Senate presidents, before you knew the meaning of those. We have been where you are only aspiring to be tomorrow. Your today is our yesterday, we are operating under different time zones. 5 Likes |

PentiumPro: Don't mind him. They think they are clever to use SW against Nigeria as if SW is not an integral part of Nigeria, which she shed her blood so that Nigeria remained one. It is only in Nigeria that we have this fanciful idea that every tribe should be a country, which means Nigeria will disintegrate into 300 or more tribe-countries. Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, Angola, India, China, Russia, etc have different tribes and nationalities coexisting peacefully and prosperously without being hindered or weighed down by unnecessary tribal bigotry and clamour for tribal countries as is being spearheaded by the Ibos. 2 Likes |

abeg my eyes don full with water as i see grown men n women throwing insults left and right for 5 pages................. topic: South west has always been a relatively peaceful area, except small spat of vioence over the years, i honestly cant say why the region aint clamouring for odua nation now, but they most probably hv it at th bck of their minds........... most SW ppl i know (one of my parent included) just wanna live a peaceful, successful life, while the tribe is important, my parent always says that we are first commited to our family and loved ones b4 the ambition of any tribe which may or may not be fpr the good of all. Look at it, i couldn't care less bout all these tribal bigotry, I just wanna live, be successful, take care of my family, protect em from all who would bring em harm be it oda ppl or even my clansmen.

chuna1985:be that as it may, NG has never really been a hostile place for the SW, not because they are slaves, but because they are able to co exist perfectly ............ when you see a tipical igbo man, the first tin that comesd into ones head is ''money'' , quite alright, the igbos are hardworking ppl, but they hv isolated themselves too much, this in its own effect will lead to oda tribes pulling away from them (its like an endless cycle) the result is that it would look like the SE has been marginalised. The best tin the Igbos can do is to integrate themselves into NG communities, who be d madman that will say he/she do hates p-square, don jazzy, phyno? these are ppl who put aside their hate and worked with oda ethnic groups and hv profited of it, the part tro secession is a long and hardc one, but it cannot be accomplished through war, ask south sudan, ask rewanda. ask the palestians and isrealies ppl, war wil just bring about death to both sides, at the end of d day, the west will force a cease fire and all previous deaths would hv been for nothing STOP THE HATE. 1 Like |

destinysaid: Trash as usual. How can hardwork now be equated to love of money? The biggest looters in this country, from Abacha, IBB to OBJ, none of them are Igbos, I guess they all hate money? No group travels out of their region to interact with other Nigerian groups than Ndiigbo, and no where had it be written that we attacked our hosts. No one wants war .What we want is to not share a country with Arewa and SW, how does that equate to seeking for war? Is it by force to share a country with you lots? 4 Likes |

If you are an igbo and you commented on the first page of this thread, then i say you are a disgrace to the Igbo heritage. It so sad and disgraceful that the first insult came from the so called igbos. The yorubas on the other hand held their positions intelligently. Sincerely,I am ashamed to even think I am an igbo person but you lots are so disgraceful in your disposition. You could not even make a comment without resorting to insults, nor hold an argument intelligently and intellectually. Na wa o 5 Likes |

vicenzo:What? Anichebe, the story teller who didn't have a laureate to his name, won the hall of shame award courtsey of the revisionism he made in his fictional book, 'there was a country' and in the end, died of imbecility! If Ojukwu, a coward who archieved nothing in his life time died at 78 yet wasn't accused of committing suicide, I see no reason why informed minds would believe propagandists like you about a 78yrs Awolowo killing himself, a man who has archived many things and died at 78yrs, same age with Ojukwu! More so, his doctor's death reports stated he died of a heart related disease, not poison! So, who are we to believe? The constant lieing ibos or the doctor? Bunch of revisionists! 1 Like |

HopeAtHand:Not because the system favour us per se but we're clamouring for regionalism/resource control rather than disintegration! You can see for yourself here those who are against resource control: http://theunion.com.ng/politics/why-regionalism-state-police-agitation-failed/. Yet this tribe would rather lie and say it's the SW that were against resource control whereas it's the SE! They know if every region (sw, se, ss, nc, ne, nw) were to control their resources, they are among the least revenue generating region! Hence, they are against it, just like their kinsman, Ironsi destroyed our true federalism yet the same set of people clamour for biafra but this biafra can't happen without the inclusion of the SS along with them! Never in my life have I seen such dishonest two timing revisionists in my life! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Kagawash07: U tried to defend your people which is expected..in truth, this system benefits Yorubas the most and the hausas are also very comfortable. In a regional system, i doubt if the NE, NW and NC will fare better than the SE (the SE wouldnt make much gains but they wouldn't be worse off) but the SS will obviously make the biggest gains..the SW (or maybe lagos) will lose some of its monopoly..but every region will at the end dig in to survive. The biafra agitators aren't sincere..i tune in to their station sometimes and all i hear is very petty accusation and lies allover..there are some truths but the falsehood is too much..i see the station as only for the gullible.. Igbos are the originators of this mess they complain about, except if they are saying Nzeogwu and Ironsi aren't Igbos..but i wouldn't unnecessarily want to dwell on the past, id prefer the now and the future. 3 Likes |

HopeAtHand: You are talking trash as usual. Ironsi never dissolved the regions and their autonomy, he merely united the federal service. It was Gowon and Awo that dissolved the regions. killed their autonomy and created anomalies called states. It was Obasanjo who propagated the evil Land use decree. How exactly is that the fault of Nzeogwu or Ironsi? You are insincere, you must be a Yoruba person, that's their trademark. I dare you to mention one falsehood that Radio Biafra propagate? |

Imokay: Yeah, protect you from annihilation by Turining you into Cowards, accepting your slave status without putting up a fight, like we see in Kwara. I guess cowardice is a mark of common sense in Odualand. Awo panicked over the presence of Arewa soldiers in Odualand, and like a true coward, decided to play second fiddle to Gowon. Only Cowards willing accept to play subservient role to anyone. " It is better even from a historical perspective, to fight and be conquered, than to be conquered without putting up a fight"- George Orwell. Ndiigbo must leave this union one day, that way, you will have more room to apply your common sense( Aka cowardice) with your Gambari masters like you have been doing since the day Oyo Ile was ransacked by the Nupes. 1 Like |

vicenzo:i pity your kind. You all keep shouting marginalization... While you were screaming marginalization, igbos who know that true existence of life is independecy, rose from grass to grace... The likes of don jazzy, basket mouth. Psquare, kanu nwankwo. Jj okocha... Chinua Achebe, Chimamada Edichie... Just to name a few all rose to prominence in the same country you claimed to be marginalized... The above listed names had something in common--they had something to offer the world, they had value added to peoples life in exchange for money. I on my own is on a journey to revolutionize a particular product the entire nation as been eating for decades without thinking of how it's being handle nor the hygiene involved. I didn't have to go too far. I simply found a product and thought a better way to make it appealing... By offering a better product of what existed before... That's common sense which is lacking in many of you. What do you have to offer Nigeria or biafra that will make them pay you? If nothing, i am afraid you will still blame the biafra society. Great minds don't blame anyone for their woes. In the face of challenges, there abounds enamous opportunity. Disintegration isn't the solution and one thing you just don't know yet is that the average Nigerian is very selfish. Be careful whom you place your trust on. The bible tells you to trust NO MAN but GOD. So thinking one super hero from somewhere will save you is foolery. HARDLY will anyone fight for freedom in thiis current generation without huge benefit to themselves alone. The selfishness of the average Nigerian has spread so wildly that EVERY ethnic group in this country has been affected. Do not be surprise if at the end of your struggle... Only crumbs reaches you in your new utopia of biafra society. What am I say? The same selfishness of current Nigerian leaders will continue. It's like a malignant cancerous cell. 3 Likes |

HopeAtHand:I didn't say the SE would be the worse off, I said they are among the least revenue generating region which is the truth! Like I said earlier, the system doesn't favour the SW. The last Igr list shows the SW as the 2nd largest revenue generating region after the Ss, courtesy of Ogun. Lagos, Oyo and Ondo. Osun itself has one of the largest gold deposit which is prevented from being mined because according to the FG, all resources belong to the federal govt. If this gold were to be mined, it will generate lot of revenue for Osun. I guess that's one of the reason Osun were among the states that voted for regionalism. This state is the last on allocation list for crying out loud. Clearly, the system definitely doesn't favour them! Another is Ondo state which is a major oil producing state, has suffered environmental degradation due to its oil and Bitumen exploration. The way the Ss are crying injustice for their land degradation is the same way we people of Ondo are doing same! All in all, the system doesn't favour us and that's why the SW were/are for resource control which was sabotaged by the people from the SE in the last conference meeting! 1 Like |
