Re: Why Do The Igbos Hate Buhari? - The Nation by Nobody: 11:32am On Sep 15, 2015 |
The reason why Igbos hate Buhari is because we don't want to see any of our sons who happens to be his VP be treated as mere commissioner Osibanjo.
We were comfortable with Jonathan because, he was more of nationalist than 5%.
95% of we Igbo's hate him. We can still repeat the vote again.
If you doubt whether we hate him or not, when he was billed to campaign at Onitsha same day with Patience Jonathan.... How many people were in attendance in his own venue? That made him not to attend.....
Nwanne 99.5% of we Anambrarians hates him. I can't vote him and I will never do. 1 Like |

TonyeBarcanista: This article by The Nation is shameless and unfortunate. It fans the embers of tribalism and seek to promote and justify marginalisation of the Igbo ethnic group by the clueless Buhari administration. It is unfortunate that the APC is yet to understand that electoral success is not a license to ethnic conquest. Nigerians of good conscience irrespective of ethnic affiliation must rise to condemn this evil act of the APC and The Nations. Failed blogger Are you suggesting that there should be media censorship? The journalist that wrote that article is fully entitled to his opinion, that is freedom of the press.

Ioannes: i think another logical question to ask is why do igbos hate yorubas so much as u can see from their response so far. as far as they are concerned yoruba is the reason why they are not making progress as a people, yoruba is the cause of all the evil that has befallen them from time immemorial. yet they load marco polo buses everyday and head to yorubaland for sustenance.
the igbo psyche is puzzling to say the least.
they say yorubas are cowards, yet their biafran army was routinely routed and defeated by the nigerian side led by a yoruba, while their commander in chief abandoned them to their fate and ran off.
they say yorubas are dirty yet aba is the dirtiest town in nigeria.
i could continue but whats the point. they revel in their hatred. their hatred of yorubas and buhari gives purpose and meaning to their lives.
they continually lie to themselves that they are the chosen race and if not for the "yolobas" their gully infested land would be paradise.
well i doff my hat to the yoruba tribe that can hold down such a "mighty and god chosen" tribe like the igbos.
the igbos unconsciously feel that since they hate the yorubas then that means the yorubas must hate them with equal venom.
not so. what does it take for the yorubas to start a pogrom to wipe out the igbos in their midst? nothing. cos there are very few yorubas living in your non productive land. so no fear of retaliation.
the more you hate the less productive you are. yorubas dont hate you. and am sure buhari doesnt hate you, he probably despises you. lol.
give it a rest will you. and i wish you all the best in your quest for biafra. (expecting insults and curses). Gowon, Awolowo, Ejoor, Adebayo, Mobolaji Johnson, Katsina, Wey and all the groups that supported and advised the Federal Government of Nigeria to renege on the accords agreed upon in Aburi, Ghana were responsible for the 1967-70 Civil War, alongside their murderous kinsmen who killed innocent Easterners in revenge for an act done by a misguided group of soldiers comprising both Southerners and Northerners.
Ojukwu tried making peace, and called for peace-talk in a neutral ground hence the Aburi Accord, but Gowon and his co-travellers violated the agreement reached. If Ojukwu wanted war he wouldn't have called for peace talk in Ghana but the declaration of Biafra was inevitable as the killing of Easterners continued across the country. Ojukwu never asked for war! Ojukwu only declared Biafra when over thirty thousand corpses littered the Northern region in the aftermath of the January 15 1966 coup. Gowon and his cohorts declared the civil war! And Benjamin Adekunle, one the Nigerian soldier, later attested to the fact that Nigeria declared war because of oil in the Eastern region and not for the unity of the country!
Why didn't the July 1966 counter-coup plotters just wipe out the Eastern political class and call it a day. Aguiyi Ironsi did nothing deserving death yet they killed him. Ironsi was too much of a peacemaker and he died making useless peace, appeasing the Northerners. The counter coup plotters simply wanted a war and they sure got one. Bear in mind there was no war before the pogrom of 1966 started in the North. So why resort to maiming and killing innocent Easterners cum civilians. Has the killings stopped till date? NO!
The February 13, 1976 Dimka-led coupists came from Benue and Plateau region. They assassinated Murtala Mohammed then Head of State, yet there was no genocide carried against the Middle-belt people. Why was same treatment not given to the ethnic groups of the Dimka-led coupists that committed same offence? It's simply hypocrisy! It is even against the military rule to harm the innocent civilians during coup.
According to the warped logic of hypocritical Yoruba and their co-travellers anytime there is a revolution or a coup the ethnic groups of the coup plotters should be singled out for ethnic cleansing!Bloody, treacheerous, lousy noise-maker, you think you can cover up the atrocities of you saboteurs and your god, Obafemi Awolowo, who was the chief proponent of hatred, bitterness, tribalism, nepotism, propaganda and wickedness in this country? The same power hungry and greedy Awolowo who was imprisoned for treason and coup plotting until he was released by Odumegwu Ojukwu just before the 1967-70 war? Hypocrite, what did you and your Yoruba tribe do when Igbos where being massacred across the North in 1966? Did you and your people come to the aid of the people of Igbodo and Asaba in 1967 when genocide was being carried out on them by your wicked Yoruba tribesmen and their co-travellers? Just like the chameleon, the Yorubas can change the colour of their skin at will and can vacillate at random between Christian and Muslim worlds whenever the evil spirit begins to operate them. Little wonder they are descendants of a fallen demon! The vacillation is akin to the abracadabra of a sworn homosexual who might screw a man today, a woman tomorrow, or an animal the next time. You never can tell. The level of Yoruba treacheery and betrayal is second to none. Finding a reliable and trustworthy Yoruba person is like searching for a pin in a haystack. Yorubas who possess these good characters are rare. Yorubas are not only treacherous but always at the servitude of the Northerners which is very worrisome. Ethnomusicolist Charles Keil, who was visiting Nigeria in 1966, recounted: "The pogroms I witnessed in Makurdi, Nigeria (late Sept. 1966) were foreshadowed by months of intensive anti-Ibo and anti- Eastern conversations among Tiv, Idoma, Hausa and other Northerners resident in Makurdi, and, fitting a pattern replicated in city after city, the massacres were led by the Nigerian army. Before, during and after the slaughter, Col. Gowan could be heard over the radio issuing 'guarantees of safety' to all Easterners, all citizens of Nigeria, but the intent of the soldiers, the only power that counts in Nigeria now or then, was painfully clear. After counting the disemboweled bodies along the Makurdi road I was escorted back to the city by soldiers who apologized for the stench and explained politely that they were doing me and the world a great favor by eliminating Ibos.”https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_WarHere's actually an excerpt, albeit it was written by Emeka Esogbue but it is a direct summarization of Emma Okocha books. "It was this battle that gave birth to Murtala, a “Local champion” called Ibrahim Haruna and Ibrahim Taiwo of the Nigerian Army. Africans first had the practical experience of the word “genocide” in Igbodo where hundreds of lives were lost in the Nigerian civil war. In Isheagu, the case was not different. It was here that the ulterior motive of the Nigerian troop clearly unfolded.
The people were now scampering for the safety of their lives having experienced what happened in Igbodo and some other places. In the Midwestern region, able bodied men went into hiding leaving women and children at the mercy of advancing soldiers. The people of Benin went identifying their Ibo-speaking neighbours from house to house for executions." BLOOD ON THE NIGER: THE FIRST BLACK ON BLACK OCTOBER 1967 GENOCIDE OF ASABA PEOPLE BY MURTALA, GOWON AND AWOLOWO
...Like my father and elder brother that were part of the over 1000 youths that were killed on October 7, 1967, in Asaba, most of them were members of the Action Group (AG). The people that believed in the NCNC at that time left for the east. My father who worked in Enugu, Nsukka, Uzuakoli and Kafanchan as a civil servant could have gone to the east. But he believed in that war. He was an apostle of the Awo ideas-free education and free medical services. In fact, the Asaba General Hospital that is now a Specialist Hospital was brought to us by the AG led by Nduka Eze, another AG hardliner who left the Zikist Movement to join Awolowo. But Nduka Eze's wife was killed by the federal troop under the command of Murtala Mohammed because she refused to be touched because they were defiling women at random when they came in. The genocide against the Igbos has been proved beyond reasonable doubt by the apology made to Asaba people by General Gowon when he came there after the release of the Blood On The Niger. The genocide against the Igbos was proved beyond reasonable doubt at the Oputa panel which the federal government has up till now refused to publish the findings. Bishop Desmond Tutu chaired the Truth and Justice tribunal in South Africa to find out what happened in South Africa during the apartheid period. It was accepted by both sides and just look at the peace that has prevailed there since then. Why would Nigeria not publish the findings of the Oputa Panel where it has been proved beyond reasonable doubt that pilots were throwing bombs at random into market places in Uzuakoli, Uzuitem and Nsukka, where bottles and implements were also used against women during the war. History is an account of the actions of actors in a community or in a state recorded that made impacts during their time. Awolowo was a great leader; great politician and great performer in government but his activities during the civil war were negative. If you are a writer, you cannot defend his position that starvation is an instrument of warfare. Starvation cannot be an instrument of warfare when you are fighting a civil war. Nigeria was being supplied arms from all countries. For the first time there was an unholy alliance between the Soviet Union and the West. It had never happened before. Any place that there was a war of revolution, the USSR is always taking the place of the revolutionary. How come that the USSR for the first time allied with the West against Biafra? So, let somebody go and disprove Achebe; that is what we want to see not that somebody did not commit genocide. Genocide has been proved to be committed. If there were no genocide, the World Council of Churches, the Caritas wouldn't have come in droves. If genocide was not committed, why did Biafra lose two million casualties, most of them civilians and children? And if people are not apologising to Igbos, why should they now come out to talk because one man has been put to where he belongs in history. He was the principal protagonist of using starvation as an instrument of warfare against his fellow citizens. Remember that Nigeria was fighting a war of unity. They were not as desperate as the other camp that was fighting a war of secession. So, in international convention Geneva included, you don't use starvation against civilians, you don't use firearms against civilians and you don't use bombs. Are they saying they didn't bomb civilians during the war? The Nigerian Air Force was very pronounced in its use of bombs on civilians and their targets were churches, market places and hospitals. These were recorded by missionaries and foreign journalists. Awolowo was the Minister of Finance under Gowon. He was the de facto prime minister of Nigeria during the war and he performed. I don't grudge him for winning the war for Nigeria; for changing the currency. He can win the war by all means but the fact that he prevented massive aid from coming is genocidal. There was an inhuman instance. There was an incident where a Red Cross plane coming with medication and food was blown off the sky for the beleaguered people of Biafra. Even after the war, what was the purpose of denying Igbos their primary source of protein-stockfish? How can you defend the policy of giving people who have lost everything only 20 Pounds? If there is anybody that should have been given more, the returning war battered people of Biafra should have received more. The Igbos have always accepted Awolowo as a great leader but his activities during the civil war shocked them. BY THE OBJECTIVE OF THE JANUARY 15 COUP, as quoted by Odia Ofeimun, the poet, the boys believed he was the greatest leader. THE LEADERS OF THE COUP, WERE TO MAKE CHIEF AWOLOWO THE PRIME MINISTER OF NIGERIA. These coup leaders didn't go for Azikiwe or Balewa. They wanted Chief Awolowo as quoted by Odia in a 1999 edition of The Guardian. Awolowo was supposed to be released by the Nzeogwu coup, which didn't have its assumed ending; it was aborted half way. It was Nzeogwu's colleague, Major Nzegwu that was supposed to pick him from Calabar prison and release him. So, I'm proving to you that the Igbo literality have always accepted Awo as one of the best and great leaders the country has ever produced but his activities during the war did not only shock them but betrayed the trust they had in. During the whole peace conferences from Niamey to Kinshasha, Awolowo, Enahoro and Alison Ayida, who was a permanent secretary, always took a hawkish stand. That was why in the Niamey conference of 1968 Alison Ayida quoted Awo exactly that starvation is an instrument of warfare. This was at a time when millions of Biafran children were dying off. And death by starvation is not an ordinary death. It is for you to experience it. It was horror and the photographs are there but Awolowo and his henchmen never batted an eyelid even after the war. That is why we glorify other great literality like Wole Soyinka who told us in his book A Man Died that extermination was committed in Asaba. He was the first courageous soul in Nigeria that told the world about the Asaba massacre. http://nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/main-square/73341-most-those-murdered-asaba-muritala-gowon-awo-were-action-group-members-emma-okocha-author-blood-niger.html 3 Likes |

There is one thing I noticed about the Igbos, and that is they don't wish death or genocide on anyone or ethnic group. Igbos are reactionary when it comes to the use of violence. They replicate in double fold any violence meted out to them, even in the backyard of their assailants. The Aba, Onitsha, Owerri, Asaba and Sabongari counter-riot which was in retaliation to the killings of Southerners during the Sharia crisis that rocked many parts of the north is good testament of this. Only the Hausa/Fulani had tasted the anger of the Igbos as far as conflict is concerned in Nigeria. However, with the way most Yoruba's are shouting this genocide thing these days, it is advisable to tell them that they should watch what they wish for. Most Yoruba's feel that after their phantom genocide is carried out in their SW (if they suceed in Lagos) that their people in the S/S will go unhurt. That is where they lie, because blood is thicker than water. A genocidal conflict will wipe off no trace of the Yorubas here in Port-Harcourt. From Calabar to Asaba none shall be spared. Even the oil servicing workers. This is the gospel truth that many loud mouthed Yoruba bigots are oblivious of. 2 Likes |

They replicate in double fold any violence meted out to them, even in the backyard of their assailants. The Aba, Onitsha, Owerri, Asaba and Sabongari counter-riot which was in retaliation to the killings of Southerners during the Sharia crisis that rocked many parts of the north is good testament of this. Only the Hausa/Fulani had tasted the anger of the Igbos as far as conflict is concerned in Nigeria. However, with the way most Yoruba's are shouting this genocide thing these days, it is advisable to tell them that they should watch what they wish for. Most Yoruba's feel that after their phantom genocide is carried out in their SW (if they suceed in Lagos) that their people in the S/S will go unhurt. That is where they lie, because blood is thicker than water. A genocidal conflict will wipe off no trace of the Yorubas here in Port-Harcourt. From Calabar to Asaba none shall be spared. Even the oil servicing workers. This is the gospel truth that many loud mouthed Yoruba bigots are oblivious of. when you get home, gather your family together and call them daft. (u started the insult). next tune in your radio to radio biafra and listen to how they are calling for genocide before you come and display your ignorance here. then maybe again you can tell us why kanu is calling for financial contributions to stock pile arms and ammunitions. maybe he wants to use them to hunt bush rats. as to who will suffer most should violence begin, you must be a bad student of history. why do igbos always load buses and run from the north anytime there is a HINT of violence. even this year's election come and see mass exodus from sw. i pity u. keep stoking the embers of hatred. when u see real fight your gragra will leave u. compare the number of yorubas in the entire ss and se region to the number of igbos just in Lagos and you will understand the foolishness of your assertion. it is the same false bravado that led to the unnecessary death of millions of igbo during the civil war that you are displaying here along with your comrades. calling me a bigot is water off my back cos am not the one who thinks that without my tribe Nigeria will not succeed. or that other tribes are worthless. you have a long way to go. keep up the insults. |

In the 90s, the NADECO's unlicensed and inciting Radio Kudirat was hitting the airwaves, did any of you hypocritical bigots condemn it? Before the 2015 general elections, did Yorubas condemn the highly inciting Radio Chanji in the North? The Igbos defended themselves against world powers-backed Nigeria with Egyptian bombers, and the war lasted about three years but when the big mouthed Yoruba tribe tried their gra-gra in 1993, it did not even last two days. And it took just one Abacha to silence the most successful man from the suffersticated and diabolic Yoruba tribe, MKO Abiola - the Field Marshall of Odua Kingdom and nothing happened. Fact# After 45 years of the Biafran war, the entire Yoruba tribe that is filled with loudmouthed, suffersticated and diabolic cowards dare not think of it, not to mention trying what a 30 year old Ojukwu did. Are you not bloody cowards? Aren't you ashamed that it took over 200 ethnic nationalities in Nigeria and the Western powers to stop a 30 year old brave man? Need I remind you also of how a Yoruba Army General, Oladipo Diya, wept like a kid before a junior officer because he was afraid of his life...after wilfully and knowingly plotting a coup? If you are even worth your silly rantings, you should have installed an Oba in Ilorin. But since you couldn't, you remain a piss in the wind! To every Yoruba person out there, the peace-loving people of the Great Igbo Nation are no cowards. Igbos never initiate clashes but they never turn their backs on any fight. They do not hide behind the handset or keyboard to sing war songs on the internet. There is no law on this earth that prohibits free movement of people and participation in government. It takes a man of courage to venture into an unknown terrain and conquer it. The Chinese are doing it. The British, Portuguese, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese etc. did it. If the great Roman Empire hadn't ventured no one would have known they were great. Today many American businesses are located offshores in China, Saudi Arabia, Tokyo, United Arab Emirate and they are still venturing out to conquer unknown terrains. For you to be great you have to venture out of your comfort zone. This is the true character of the ever industrious and peace-loving Great Igbo Nation. As of today it would be an understatement to aver that Igbos control 50% of the economy of Lagos and its environs. You see, it pays to venture out instead of lazing around touting and disturbing the peace of the society. Cease from being short-sighted and wallowing in the ocean of tribalism. You end up dissipating your energy in hating and being envious of goal-getters and achievers - the Great Igbo Nation who have made life meaningful for you and your folks. Stop focusing on the oil wealth from another man's backyard. Yoruba need to explore the world, not staying at home eating amala and gbegiri, and later whine away their lives envying the lofty achievements of the Great Igbo Nation who are key to SW economy. |

Stop being deceptive and clannish as if you are not in the know of how your kinsmen keep on fabricating and spreading wicked lies, falsehood and lies against the Igbos for many decades now. Yorubas take pleasure in promoting hatred in the polity. Little wonder Sanusi Lamido Sanusi termed Yorubas "the problem with Nigeria".
The Fulani herdsmen have been hunting Yorubas for sport for decades, and they don't even consider Yoruba Muslims as equals but inferior beings! And fellow beings like you dare not counter, vent your anger or even put up a writeup against them! Instead Yorubas have always maintained a deafening silence and would rather look for the Igbos to accuse!
Some Yorubas are carrying wicked lies about how Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri people have been peace-loving and accommodative; that it's the Igbos that always provoke their hosts in the North, warranting the pogrom and other heinous crimes against the Igbos. Yet in the same North and the Middle-belt the Christian minorities are maltreated, relegated to the background and killed unabated.
You are talking about being embittered; it is your Yorubas that are always embittered about Igbo affairs. To buttress this fact, take a look at all the topics on Biafra and Igbos and you will concur - how your Yoruba people become agitated and bitter just at the mere mention of Biaf...! There's no need for you denying that fact.
A number of Yorubas brag that Igbos don't have crude oil. That Igbos are greedy and want to corner Niger-delta oil wealth. That Ondo State produces more crude oil that the whole South East. And to heighten the insult, they say Igbos bring virtually nothing to the Federal revenue! Many Yorubas have sunk too low as camouflaging as South-South people online to attack and spite Igbos while at the same time ass-licking their Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri slave masters. Do you see anything wrong at all when these lies are being fashioned against Igbos for years?
Many Yorubas hold the view that Igbos should be grateful for being allowed to live in their part of the country, even when the oil revenue from the South-East Zone is being channelled for Lagos development! Yorubas say Igbos disrespect their host when Igbos chose to exercise their franchise right. And you don't seem to see any wrong in Oba Rilwane Akiolu threatening Igbos to vote for his anointed candidate! And Dr Ariyo in the US went further by calling for xenophobic attack on Igbos.
And you don't seem to see anything wrong in castigating the ever peace-loving Igbo people. Have you ever heard anywhere, were Igbos are on rampage and causing mayhem to their 'host' for no just cause?
Many Yorubas do not see anything wrong in the pogrom committed against Igbos - before, during and after the 1967-70 civil war. Many Yorubas take it as a point of duty to ridicule Igbos with the horror pictures of the war, including that of kwashiorkor-ridden children.
Why do Yorubas take pleasure in twisting and distorting facts even when the truth is staring right at them? How can a country built on a false and faulty foundation still attempts to progress by concealing the truth and instead spread falsehood, lies and propaganda?
Yorubas should stop being unnecessarily bitter and angry about Igbo affairs. It's evil so to do! OK.with all what you said what is the message you want to pass across to me,that Igbo should continue to hate their yourba brothers and yoruba should continue to hate their Igbo brothers.. what do you gain by preaching hate.OK now look at both my post and your post tell me who is bitter and angry about a particular tribe,its evil to preach hate bro... pls reply my mention with a better post not containing tales and misconstrued issues.this. note.I am not part of the online tribalist movement but please answer my question with a simple well constructed sentence. |

Gowon, Awolowo, Ejoor, Adebayo, Mobolaji Johnson, Katsina, Wey and all the groups that supported and advised the Federal Government of Nigeria to renege on the accords agreed upon in Aburi, Ghana were responsible for the 1967-70 Civil War, alongside their murderous kinsmen who killed innocent Easterners in revenge for an act done by a misguided group of soldiers comprising both Southerners and Northerners.
Ojukwu tried making peace, and called for peace-talk in a neutral ground hence the Aburi Accord, but Gowon and his co-travellers violated the agreement reached. If Ojukwu wanted war he wouldn't have called for peace talk in Ghana but the declaration of Biafra was inevitable as the killing of Easterners continued across the country. Ojukwu never asked for war! Ojukwu only declared Biafra when over thirty thousand corpses littered the Northern region in the aftermath of the January 15 1966 coup. Gowon and his cohorts declared the civil war! And Benjamin Adekunle, one the Nigerian soldier, later attested to the fact that Nigeria declared war because of oil in the Eastern region and not for the unity of the country!
Why didn't the July 1966 counter-coup plotters just wipe out the Eastern political class and call it a day. Aguiyi Ironsi did nothing deserving death yet they killed him. Ironsi was too much of a peacemaker and he died making useless peace, appeasing the Northerners. The counter coup plotters simply wanted a war and they sure got one. Bear in mind there was no war before the pogrom of 1966 started in the North. So why resort to maiming and killing innocent Easterners cum civilians. Has the killings stopped till date? NO!
The February 13, 1976 Dimka-led coupists came from Benue and Plateau region. They assassinated Murtala Mohammed then Head of State, yet there was no genocide carried against the Middle-belt people. Why was same treatment not given to the ethnic groups of the Dimka-led coupists that committed same offence? It's simply hypocrisy! It is even against the military rule to harm the innocent civilians during coup.
According to the warped logic of hypocritical Yoruba and their co-travellers anytime there is a revolution or a coup the ethnic groups of the coup plotters should be singled out for ethnic cleansing!
Bloody, treacheerous, lousy noise-maker, you think you can cover up the atrocities of you saboteurs and your god, Obafemi Awolowo, who was the chief proponent of hatred, bitterness, tribalism, nepotism, propaganda and wickedness in this country? The same power hungry and greedy Awolowo who was imprisoned for treason and coup plotting until he was released by Odumegwu Ojukwu just before the 1967-70 war?
Hypocrite, what did you and your Yoruba tribe do when Igbos where being massacred across the North in 1966? Did you and your people come to the aid of the people of Igbodo and Asaba in 1967 when genocide was being carried out on them by your wicked Yoruba tribesmen and their co-travellers?
Just like the chameleon, the Yorubas can change the colour of their skin at will and can vacillate at random between Christian and Muslim worlds whenever the evil spirit begins to operate them. Little wonder they are descendants of a fallen demon! The vacillation is akin to the abracadabra of a sworn homosexual who might screw a man today, a woman tomorrow, or an animal the next time. You never can tell.
The level of Yoruba treacheery and betrayal is second to none. Finding a reliable and trustworthy Yoruba person is like searching for a pin in a haystack. Yorubas who possess these good characters are rare. Yorubas are not only treacherous but always at the servitude of the Northerners which is very worrisome.
Ethnomusicolist Charles Keil, who was visiting Nigeria in 1966, recounted:
"The pogroms I witnessed in Makurdi, Nigeria (late Sept. 1966) were foreshadowed by months of intensive anti-Ibo and anti- Eastern conversations among Tiv, Idoma, Hausa and other Northerners resident in Makurdi, and, fitting a pattern replicated in city after city, the massacres were led by the Nigerian army. Before, during and after the slaughter, Col. Gowan could be heard over the radio issuing 'guarantees of safety' to all Easterners, all citizens of Nigeria, but the intent of the soldiers, the only power that counts in Nigeria now or then, was painfully clear. After counting the disemboweled bodies along the Makurdi road I was escorted back to the city by soldiers who apologized for the stench and explained politely that they were doing me and the world a great favor by eliminating Ibos.”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_War
Here's actually an excerpt, albeit it was written by Emeka Esogbue but it is a direct summarization of Emma Okocha books.
"It was this battle that gave birth to Murtala, a “Local champion” called Ibrahim Haruna and Ibrahim Taiwo of the Nigerian Army. Africans first had the practical experience of the word “genocide” in Igbodo where hundreds of lives were lost in the Nigerian civil war. In Isheagu, the case was not different. It was here that the ulterior motive of the Nigerian troop clearly unfolded.
The people were now scampering for the safety of their lives having experienced what happened in Igbodo and some other places. In the Midwestern region, able bodied men went into hiding leaving women and children at the mercy of advancing soldiers. The people of Benin went identifying their Ibo-speaking neighbours from house to house for executions."
BLOOD ON THE NIGER: THE FIRST BLACK ON BLACK OCTOBER 1967 GENOCIDE OF ASABA PEOPLE BY MURTALA, GOWON AND AWOLOWO
...Like my father and elder brother that were part of the over 1000 youths that were killed on October 7, 1967, in Asaba, most of them were members of the Action Group (AG). The people that believed in the NCNC at that time left for the east. My father who worked in Enugu, Nsukka, Uzuakoli and Kafanchan as a civil servant could have gone to the east. But he believed in that war. He was an apostle of the Awo ideas-free education and free medical services. In fact, the Asaba General Hospital that is now a Specialist Hospital was brought to us by the AG led by Nduka Eze, another AG hardliner who left the Zikist Movement to join Awolowo. But Nduka Eze's wife was killed by the federal troop under the command of Murtala Mohammed because she refused to be touched because they were defiling women at random when they came in.
The genocide against the Igbos has been proved beyond reasonable doubt by the apology made to Asaba people by General Gowon when he came there after the release of the Blood On The Niger. The genocide against the Igbos was proved beyond reasonable doubt at the Oputa panel which the federal government has up till now refused to publish the findings. Bishop Desmond Tutu chaired the Truth and Justice tribunal in South Africa to find out what happened in South Africa during the apartheid period. It was accepted by both sides and just look at the peace that has prevailed there since then. Why would Nigeria not publish the findings of the Oputa Panel where it has been proved beyond reasonable doubt that pilots were throwing bombs at random into market places in Uzuakoli, Uzuitem and Nsukka, where bottles and implements were also used against women during the war.
History is an account of the actions of actors in a community or in a state recorded that made impacts during their time. Awolowo was a great leader; great politician and great performer in government but his activities during the civil war were negative. If you are a writer, you cannot defend his position that starvation is an instrument of warfare. Starvation cannot be an instrument of warfare when you are fighting a civil war.
Nigeria was being supplied arms from all countries. For the first time there was an unholy alliance between the Soviet Union and the West. It had never happened before. Any place that there was a war of revolution, the USSR is always taking the place of the revolutionary. How come that the USSR for the first time allied with the West against Biafra? So, let somebody go and disprove Achebe; that is what we want to see not that somebody did not commit genocide. Genocide has been proved to be committed. If there were no genocide, the World Council of Churches, the Caritas wouldn't have come in droves. If genocide was not committed, why did Biafra lose two million casualties, most of them civilians and children? And if people are not apologising to Igbos, why should they now come out to talk because one man has been put to where he belongs in history. He was the principal protagonist of using starvation as an instrument of warfare against his fellow citizens. Remember that Nigeria was fighting a war of unity. They were not as desperate as the other camp that was fighting a war of secession. So, in international convention Geneva included, you don't use starvation against civilians, you don't use firearms against civilians and you don't use bombs. Are they saying they didn't bomb civilians during the war? The Nigerian Air Force was very pronounced in its use of bombs on civilians and their targets were churches, market places and hospitals. These were recorded by missionaries and foreign journalists.
Awolowo was the Minister of Finance under Gowon. He was the de facto prime minister of Nigeria during the war and he performed. I don't grudge him for winning the war for Nigeria; for changing the currency. He can win the war by all means but the fact that he prevented massive aid from coming is genocidal.
There was an inhuman instance. There was an incident where a Red Cross plane coming with medication and food was blown off the sky for the beleaguered people of Biafra. Even after the war, what was the purpose of denying Igbos their primary source of protein-stockfish? How can you defend the policy of giving people who have lost everything only 20 Pounds? If there is anybody that should have been given more, the returning war battered people of Biafra should have received more.
The Igbos have always accepted Awolowo as a great leader but his activities during the civil war shocked them. BY THE OBJECTIVE OF THE JANUARY 15 COUP, as quoted by Odia Ofeimun, the poet, the boys believed he was the greatest leader.
THE LEADERS OF THE COUP, WERE TO MAKE CHIEF AWOLOWO THE PRIME MINISTER OF NIGERIA. These coup leaders didn't go for Azikiwe or Balewa. They wanted Chief Awolowo as quoted by Odia in a 1999 edition of The Guardian. Awolowo was supposed to be released by the Nzeogwu coup, which didn't have its assumed ending; it was aborted half way. It was Nzeogwu's colleague, Major Nzegwu that was supposed to pick him from Calabar prison and release him. So, I'm proving to you that the Igbo literality have always accepted Awo as one of the best and great leaders the country has ever produced but his activities during the war did not only shock them but betrayed the trust they had in.
During the whole peace conferences from Niamey to Kinshasha, Awolowo, Enahoro and Alison Ayida, who was a permanent secretary, always took a hawkish stand. That was why in the Niamey conference of 1968 Alison Ayida quoted Awo exactly that starvation is an instrument of warfare. This was at a time when millions of Biafran children were dying off. And death by starvation is not an ordinary death. It is for you to experience it. It was horror and the photographs are there but Awolowo and his henchmen never batted an eyelid even after the war. That is why we glorify other great literality like Wole Soyinka who told us in his book A Man Died that extermination was committed in Asaba. He was the first courageous soul in Nigeria that told the world about the Asaba massacre.

As a civilian president, till date, no south-easterner has been found worthy to grace his cabinet.
Even he acknowledged he can only work with the people he knows, in the south east, we see him as an uneducated bigot and he sees us as the wailing 5%.
He entered and stopped the construction of the 2nd Niger Bridge, instead, he gave us Boko haram. Funny enough, the author ignored the contributions of the likes of Okorocha and Ngige in his stereotypes.
The good news is, the South East even without having a Vice President since 1999 can not be said to be backward when compared with other geopolitical zones. May ur pathetic low thinking brain be delivered from ignorance & sentiments. |

My observations from the last presidential election is that Igbo exposes themselves politically that without them you can win an election. They brag all over lagos that they will decide the governorship election but in the end it was same sad story for them. I wonder why majority of Igbo population are Christian and Christianity preaches love and forgiveness, yet they refused to embrace these virtues. Even if Buhari have killed all your community men in the past it is progressive to forgive and move on. What they failed to acknowledge is that it is not only them that are marginalised if there's any.

Remember, Benjamin Adekunle a.k.a the Black Scorpion confessed, "we fought for oil and not for unity", does that not tell you that Nigeria's unity is a farce? Over a couple of decades, if you are objective and in tune with reality, you will remember that brute force have been used on Biafra agitators which has led to illegal detention and deaths of many of its members. MASSOB was all about love and tolerance, they imbibed Gandhi principles, but in exchange, Nigeria rough handled, killed and imprisoned its members. None of those hypocritical bigots shouting that NK is preaching violence spoke out against the use of violence by Nigerian military and police against a peaceful MASSOB, instead they were mocked. They paraded non-violent fathers as criminals, and for dare asking to be left alone, some of you mocked them and displayed their unclad pictures online for your pleasure. Ezzu river was the height of it all, where the decomposing corpses of the innocent lives were dumped and displayed for public view. The NK of today, was once a peaceful MASSOB member, but his IPOB of today may not be so complacent in sacrificing innocent lives for nothing. We can only blame brutal regimes for actions capable of transforming a non-violent struggle. And mind you, the precious blood of Biafrans shall never flow on dirty Nigerian streets again like in 1966 to 1970! Do you have the right to deny a people the right to self-determination? |

xtrorse:
Can you post such evidence of Radio Biafra call for unprovoked attacks or genocide on anyone, here and now?
In the 90s, the NADECO's unlicensed and inciting Radio Kudirat was hitting the airwaves, did any of you hypocritical bigots condemn it?
Before the 2015 general elections, did Yorubas condemn the highly inciting Radio Chanji in the North?
The Igbos defended themselves against world powers-backed Nigeria with Egyptian bombers, and the war lasted about three years but when the big mouthed Yoruba tribe tried their gra-gra in 1993, it did not even last two days. And it took just one Abacha to silence the most successful man from the suffersticated and diabolic Yoruba tribe, MKO Abiola - the Field Marshall of Odua Kingdom and nothing happened. Fact#
After 45 years of the Biafran war, the entire Yoruba tribe that is filled with loudmouthed, suffersticated and diabolic cowards dare not think of it, not to mention trying what a 30 year old Ojukwu did. Are you not bloody cowards? Aren't you ashamed that it took over 200 ethnic nationalities in Nigeria and the Western powers to stop a 30 year old brave man?
Need I remind you also of how a Yoruba Army General, Oladipo Diya, wept like a kid before a junior officer because he was afraid of his life...after wilfully and knowingly plotting a coup?
If you are even worth your silly rantings, you should have installed an Oba in Ilorin. But since you couldn't, you remain a piss in the wind!
To every Yoruba person out there, the peace-loving people of the Great Igbo Nation are no cowards. Igbos never initiate clashes but they never turn their backs on any fight. They do not hide behind the handset or keyboard to sing war songs on the internet.
There is no law on this earth that prohibits free movement of people and participation in government. It takes a man of courage to venture into an unknown terrain and conquer it. The Chinese are doing it. The British, Portuguese, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese etc. did it. If the great Roman Empire hadn't ventured no one would have known they were great. Today many American businesses are located offshores in China, Saudi Arabia, Tokyo, United Arab Emirate and they are still venturing out to conquer unknown terrains.
For you to be great you have to venture out of your comfort zone. This is the true character of the ever industrious and peace-loving Great Igbo Nation. As of today it would be an understatement to aver that Igbos control 50% of the economy of Lagos and its environs. You see, it pays to venture out instead of lazing around touting and disturbing the peace of the society.
Cease from being short-sighted and wallowing in the ocean of tribalism. You end up dissipating your energy in hating and being envious of goal-getters and achievers - the Great Igbo Nation who have made life meaningful for you and your folks.
Stop focusing on the oil wealth from another man's backyard.
Yoruba need to explore the world, not staying at home eating amala and gbegiri, and later whine away their lives envying the lofty achievements of the Great Igbo Nation who are key to SW economy.

OK, at least I'm safe now. lolz. In case they get their Biafra, I sha want them to have room for dual citizenship as I want my pikin to have the strength of the two major tribe that makes Naija rocks despite their e-battle. Diplomacy of the Yoruba's and the Industrious nature of the Igbo's. The ability to appeal to peoples intelligence of the Yoruba's and the Never-say die spirit of the Igbo's.
However, I want them to delete: The lukewarmness of the Yoruba's and the victim-mentality of the Igbo's. The "never decisive nature" of the Yoruba's and the "stubborn-even-after-being-defeated" of the Igbo's. The "quick-to-forgetfulness" of the Yoruba's and the "Never-forgive-get-even" nature of the Igbos. The "lets-give-him-another-chance" of the Yoruba's and the "You-can-never-be-forgiven" nature of the Igbo's. The hypocrisy of the Yoruba's and the mobbish attitude of the Igbo's.
I hope they will be able to strike out the eternal suspicion and hates that filled these two main tribes that are best of pals but always see each other as worst of enemies. They will say many thing and detest each other politically but always find it easy to do reside and cohabit with each other. I have personally studies the two of them but being full-blooded Yoruba, my perspective will always be questioned. But, when a mix of core Yoruba (I'm from Oyo state) and Anambra state (my fiancee), then I hope those "beautiful" ones can speak easily and balancedly.
GOD BLESS YOU BRO. God bless you as you move ahead in life with your heartthrob. I wish you a glorious future ahead! But note: In Nigeria of today, there's nothing like "let's-give-him-another-chance" attitude of the Yorubas or the "You-can-never-be-forgiven"/"Never-forgive-get-even" nature of the Igbos. There seems to be nothing to forgive not to talk of redress since many of the culprits still mischievously cast the blame of the pogroms on Igbos. If Igbos are as you stated they will not venture into remote and dangerous terrains of Nigeria, to live and mingle with the local communities. Some Igbos get married to the locals, build and establish business empires thereby growing the economy of the locals and the country at large which some other tribes rarely do. It is usually stated that Igbos rank second after the population figure of the indigenous people of a locality. Igbos have lent their support to ensuring that politicians of other ethnic stock get elected to important positions even at the expense of their own. Till date no other tribe or ethnic can be said to have exhibited more Nigerianness than Igbos. |

finniblinks: As the gospel of the restoration of the sovereign State of Biafra being pioneered by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) via its vociferous mouthpiece (Radio Biafra and Biafra Television), continue to gather momentum on daily basis, so is its people continue to voice out their disdain for the Nigerian State. Radio Biafra has reawakened the comradeship in Biafrans from all works of life. All over the world, one will not be surprised to see Biafrans gathering in unison discussing and strategizing on how best to restore their sweet home, Biafra. For many years, Biafran citizens has been marginalized and denied of their common wealth and dubiously pushed out of their enclave to scamper for survival in different part of the Universe by the occupying Nigerian State. In the course of these migrations, majority died in the Arabian Desert due to severe hydration and some drown in the Mediterranean Sea. Back home in Biafraland, our future kids are denied entry into unity schools due to the dubious cut-off mark disparity between Biafrans and the Hausa-Fulani hegemonic North. Biafrans continue to question the rationale in dubiously awarding northern kids a miserable cut-off mark of 2 compared to their Biafran counterparts of 139 to gain entry into the same unity schools. Current events in Nigeria whereby the rogue regime of Buhari continue to terrorise, hack, maim, shooting to death, and kidnappings of Biafrans using its combined security apparatus, has compelled well-meaning Biafrans to start to question the rationale behind these atrocities being meted on them day by day, hence reawakening the spirit of comradeship (Onuru ube Nwanne agbala oso) in us. In social media like Facebook, write-ups and comments concerning Biafra and its plights are awash. For example, Mazi Chinwike Justice Oke-Nwosu took to his Facebook to vest his frustration of this damnable entity coined by Lugard in 1914. He wrote thus: “It is only in Nigeria that there is an official policy to promote mediocrity to a level that merit is seen as an offence. How can any person justify the absurd score of 2 for Northern kids to gain places in UNITY SCHOOLS as against 139 imposed on kids from the East (Biafra) for same places. If someone wants to encourage the North, differential score of 105 for northerners and 139 for Eastern kids should have been arguably right but differential marks of 2 and 139 is obscene and a slap on the face of rationality, decency and common sense! How can policy makers and implementers justify this obnoxious policy? Who proposed this and who are those in education ministry presiding over this retrogressive policy?Are other states and ethnic representatives in the board or committee that approved and signed off this iniquity? This is abhorrent and indefensible by any stretch and with any prism you look at it. I took one Anthony N. Z. Sani who I learnt is/was spokesperson of Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF on about this. He severally referred to me as a believer in "Darwanism" of "survival of the fittest" where the best is naturally selected. What the spokesperson for the oligarchy refused to address is my question about why kids of affluent Northerners who attend best schools money and facilities could provide should be allowed to gain admission with this shameful score of 2 whilst Eastern kids from indigent families - some orphans and who live in poor neighborhoods and schooled in rural areas must score 139 to gain admission. I am waiting for him to address this issue. Speaking to few friends of Northern extraction on this matter, they believed Southerners are not advantaged in the sense that most people take it but simply that Northern politicians and policy makers are better in pushing policies that assist their owns! In simple tone, my Northern friends believe the Northern technocrats are simply "looking after our people". This strike at the heart of the problem with Nigeria and the drifting that attends this dubious edifice. Sani in his dubious argument believes not in proper federalism and weak center or referendum. He advances illogical syllogism to defend indefensible even as his intellectually sterile innuendos litter discourse on this matter with lacunae in all dimensions. This brings me to the position of Igbos- Biafrans some who claims to be journalists, scholars and academics; why they have not seen this as an area that needs pressure to remove this obscene disparity that checkmates and stunts the future and development of our young. It is matter of pain to me that whilst Buhari jettisons federal character in his cabinet appointments and other political appointments he has so far made and received applause from some Igbo APC and others in his camp, none of those who are eulogising him has anything to say about how merit is ditched in favour of mediocrity and in the most embarrassing and shameful scale that this admission matter has flagged up! My issue is why are Northerners who are hell-bent in applying quota where they believe that they have disadvantage refuse the same criteria in areas they have maximum advantages like in army, police, immigration, custom and even occupancy of highest judicial office. If the North is that educationally backwards, how come they have produced so many justices of the federation ahead of Igbos who are more educated? I have never seen Igbo Chief Justice of Nigeria! That my fellow Igbos shouting Sai Buhari are blind, deaf and dumb in this echoing absurdity shows the extent personal pursuits and economic necessity have driven some Igbos so far in the dirtiest side of moral life. Many have their kids, nieces and nephews likely to be disadvantaged by this anomaly yet they seal their lips and fold their arms in the hope that crumbs that fall for them from oligarchy's table will enable them to purchase spaces or send their owns to elite schools. Shame on those contemporary Igbo who much are given but who are lily-livered and whose hands of catch-penny would not allow them to be vanguard for poor and beleaguered Biafrans whose only passport in life is through God given endowment. The only hope and chance in life for these people is merit. This is what feudalistic Northern enclave in connivance with some irresponsible Southern elite have ensured these Igbos and other Southerners are not also allowed. Shame on Igbos who have left their duty posts and falling over themselves in praise of Buhari in the hope they are rewarded while the future of Biafran kids are being blighted daily by retrogressive policies. When a policy is put in place mechanism of monitoring through appraisals and audits are put in place to ensure that the advantaged are not with time become disadvantaged by the policy. Hardly can anyone say that the quota system that stunts Igbo kids future in education has such review in place. It is a blank cheque handed to the North with no checks and balances. It is a matter of regret and shame”. Continuing in another comment, Mazi Chinwike has this to say; “The North may play the ostrich as much as they like. This obscenity will not last forever. The Biafrans are just being calm watching as lazy manipulative Northern enclave checkmates the future of their kids whilst the kids of Northern extraction with weaker qualities are allowed to move on and return to impose mediocrity on the nation as "LEADERS" not because they are afraid or happy. They are watching to see where this takes you to and how far! In life wisdom withdraws to see! Watch out this your posturing and established kleptocracy and manipulation of levers of power and policy and all putative apparatus of state will be what will imperil the Nigerian nationhood and leave the North in shattered a wrecked ship far removed from shore. One day the day you think you have may turn out to be your moments of darkness and northern enclaves’ greatest nightmare! Save this and take it to the bank! Mediocre will only perform within his/her capability - mediocrity. It is not surprising that Nigeria has been drifting from days of Tafawa Balewa till date. Attempt by Ironsi to impose meritocracy with unification decree 34 caused north to sweep him out of power and plunged the nation in bloodshed. Thereafter North captured and gripped in its own sin live life of paranoia of Igbo domination and reprisal that North is applying glass ceiling for Igbo as ethnic group in Biafra and using both overt and covert official policies aimed to stop Biafran advancement in Nigeria political, economic and social lives and environment. How the North and indeed their accomplices believe such is sustainable is yet to be seen. Banking that experience of the past BIAFRAN war is an enough deterrent shows that what northern and the people who man their policies fail to learn from history is history itself. I urge the North not to change. They should continue to harden their hearts like pharaoh Ramses of Egypt who refused to allow Israelites to leave. When they managed to create their exit unknown to the Pharaoh, he dispatched his formidable army after them. If there is one thing to learn it is how the formidable army of Egypt perished in the Red Sea! Time shall come when there shall arise amongst Biafrans a Moses whose lion heart and craft of leadership will plot exit strategy from this Nigerian zoo. Even though all entrances and gates shall be manned by northern guards armed to the teeth. Biafra nation - every soul shall walk pass through your locked iron gates. By the time you wake up from your slumber all you will see will be a desolate zoo! The precious blood of Biafrans shall never flow on dirty Nigerian streets again like in 1966 to 1970! Any hungry beast thinking and provoking Biafrans to feed on our precious blood shall have their horns entangled in their own traps and noose and be chocked in their own web. Mark my words - this evil won't be allowed to continue. The silence is not that of satisfaction or acceptance; it is silence of contemplation and strategising and silence of let us wait and see! We know Buhari was packaged by the North to come and resuscitate the decaying feudalistic Hausa/ Fulani oligarchy tools of hegemony. He is making good of the deed and plan and intention. All evil and its perpetrators have a place in history. The evil shall fall face down and the perpetrator on his/her own swords. Chinwe Korie Reporting. |

It might interest the writer to know that inspite of SW new-found love with GMB, he was only only able to beat GEJ with only 3millions while GEJ beat him with 10 million votes in 2011.. So over 7 millions voters rejected him as well. Igbos don't hate him; they see him for who he is.. A divisive, sectional and vindictive leader...if there is only one thing learned from the past election, Igbos have been vindicated by their stance.

Ioannes: i think another logical question to ask is why do igbos hate yorubas so much as u can see from their response so far. as far as they are concerned yoruba is the reason why they are not making progress as a people, yoruba is the cause of all the evil that has befallen them from time immemorial. yet they load marco polo buses everyday and head to yorubaland for sustenance.
the igbo psyche is puzzling to say the least.
they say yorubas are cowards, yet their biafran army was routinely routed and defeated by the nigerian side led by a yoruba, while their commander in chief abandoned them to their fate and ran off.
they say yorubas are dirty yet aba is the dirtiest town in nigeria.
i could continue but whats the point. they revel in their hatred. their hatred of yorubas and buhari gives purpose and meaning to their lives.
they continually lie to themselves that they are the chosen race and if not for the "yolobas" their gully infested land would be paradise.
well i doff my hat to the yoruba tribe that can hold down such a "mighty and god chosen" tribe like the igbos.
the igbos unconsciously feel that since they hate the yorubas then that means the yorubas must hate them with equal venom.
not so. what does it take for the yorubas to start a pogrom to wipe out the igbos in their midst? nothing. cos there are very few yorubas living in your non productive land. so no fear of retaliation.
the more you hate the less productive you are. yorubas dont hate you. and am sure buhari doesnt hate you, he probably despises you. lol.
