vani86:
To my fellow igbos, in other to be a force to be reckoned with against the north, we really have to forget what happened before any of us here was born. And unite as a collective south.

As Christians, even the bible preach forgiveness, the people we hate today had little to no direct influence during the war. The betrayers are long dead it dying.

Let us unite and have one voice, only them will the northerners be defeated.

I don't think Igbos hate Afonjas. All the Igbos want is
for Afonjas to mind their business and stop meddling
into IPOB matter. We bless those that bless Biafra and
curse those that curse Biafra.

kingsouthie:

...but you have failed to differentiate ipob from biafra, would the struggle for biafra die with ipob?the people that would fight against seccession of biafra is the fulani/hausa oligarchy and those that benefit so much from the corrupt system of nigeria as it is today...thats a topic for another day
There are hate speeches and calls for mass murder of the yorubas and others credited to nnamdi kanu/ipob, you would nt expect any sane person to accept that in any way...thats the root of the divide as far as biafra is concerned.

irrefragable:
why are you afonjas so hypocritical? You remember NnamdiKanus hate speech but completely forget your oba akiolu who said first.

pchukwudi:
How exactly do you forgive an arrogant and grossly ignorant child who continues to justify the sin of his father?



Here's the clown justifying the same sadistic man who did not only impose a wicked and illegal policy that starved millions of Biafran women and children to death but also actively sabotaged the AU peace process that was initiated by Zik. A process which Ojukwu was fully compiant to.

So, Mr. naevity, those who neglect their history are likely to have their future destroyed by their past.

And I think you are d$#3@&" for calling out the Igbos. The reality is that the Igbos are the most forgiving group in this country. They may not forget, but they easily forgive. Otherwise, can you tell me any other ethnic group that integrates with all parts of this nation the way the Igbos have been doing for decades? Mind you, this is in spite of the brutal genocide and many institutionalized injustice they've suffered and continue to suffer in the country.

Thus, if truly you are Igbo, I sincerely implore you to wake up before you totally lose it.

DocHMD:


That's the problem with these creatures called yorubas, their Oba started hate speeches against Igbos, when called to order, they said the Oba doesn't apologize and even held a protest to defend the Oba and malign the Igbos. The records are there.

Now they want you to pretend to have forgotten their own crime which preceeded Kanu's speeches and then condemn yourself.
Can you see the kind of creatures some ignorant ones are begging us to unite with?

Igboesika:

Until you mix oil and water.

kingsouthie:

...is biafra is not more than apc/pdp to you?what business does Pastor Kumuyi have with biafra or apc? please quit this hatred and know your true enemies

NwaforIgbo:


I sincerely agree with the op, we should keep sentiments aside. Repeating all those past sin does not do any good. We need to rather cement the east-west relationship. I may not agree with his account about awolowo's role in the war, but even if I don't, how does it change the present situation. In timesbloke this, we need allies not enemies, even if we can do it alone, what is wrong in having an Allie.

kingsouthie:

the apc in lagos state have accomodated igbos well by appointing them to serve as commissioners or special advisers and then in time for election you want to back stab them to support an opposition party? isnt that an insult to the oba being in full support of the apc? if your village head is challenged by outsiders accomodated in his domain what would you expect him to do?leave pdp/apc fight out of biafra please

pchukwudi:
You perfectly captured one of the inreconcilable differences between the igbo and yoruba cultures.

For example, you're quick to justify your Oba's hate speech; and insist that it was right to threaten Igbos with mass murder if they ever refuse to be deprived of their political franchise and constitutional rights to vote whomsoever they wish to be the governor (by their individual convictions) simply because they reside in Lagos.

But you missed one thing: "Igbo ama eze",

Igbo ama eze loosly means that no one dictates to an average igbo man what to do.

And that's not "an insult" to any one as you taged it...

It's simply a CULTURAL thing...

It's in them...

Igbo MEN do not bend down to salute their rulers or elders.

To you that may be an insult, but to igbos it's a normal culture of individuality and personal assertiveness.

Paherps this is another cultural reason you should conceed to those who insist that they want out.

NwaforIgbo:

Please don't start this again. Are u not tired? Who has all this record keeping helped?

kingsouthie:

no im not trying to justify anything,im just pointing the fact it is a common reaction from people in power, igbo or yoruba or where ever...dont pretend you dont know what i mean
