To All Igbos, Igbos,ipods,ibos (afonja Luvs U All) by Nobody: 12:11pm On Apr 14, 2017 |
During the 1940s and 1950s the Igbo and Yoruba parties were in the forefront of the fight for independence from Britain. They also wanted an independent Nigeria to be organized into several small states so that the conservative North could not dominate the country. Northern leaders, fearful that independence would mean political and economic domination by the more Westernized elites in the South, preferred the perpetuation of British rule. As a condition for accepting independence, they demanded that the country continue to be divided into three regions with the North having a clear majority. Igbo and Yoruba leaders, anxious to obtain an independent country at all costs, accepted the Northern demands. *coined from Wikki* *Igbos, we are not ur enemy, we want d same tin, to b successful, fruitful,industrious nd peace *during d biafran war, my grandfather helped a group of escaping ibos Wu stumbled on his farm in ondo state. he provided for dem till d war wz over. + one of our relative disappeared wen he joined d Nigerian army, till date no body, no news, he just vanished. * awololwo or Yoruba did nt betray u, we stopped d extinction of d ibos by putting d final blow dat brought negotiation nd ended d war. if nt,dey wud b scattered across d earth. *we still want those Wu perpetuated evil during d war tried in d ICC, dead or alive. reason for creating this is because of the numerous insults and fights dat has nd still happening on this platform.

We love you too, but we want to have our own country because histories and events have taught us a lot. There is an igbo adage that says '' Egbubie kechiee, onaghizi ezu". Everybody should answer his father's name and we can even be good neighbours as well like Ghana and Nigeria. I think it would be ok like that. 31 Likes 5 Shares |

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. 3 Likes |

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. vani86: 25 Likes 2 Shares |

Etogist:...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: 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.

That's the problem you guys have. You look for peace at the expense of justice. Any wonder why, inspite of all the propaganda, lies, politicking and political correctness, the peace you so covet has remained elusive to you more than 50 years now?. The earlier you folks realize that having a lasting peace in this country will not be possible without justice, equity and truth, the better for everyone. And you cannot claim to want peace now when you actively and PRESENTLY justify the past evils perpetuated by your ancestors. Wherever there WAS opression, there cannot be peace without repentance (sometimes followed by restitution). But in the case of OP, not only was he not repentant, he IS actually justifying the evils and opporession that were carried out by his ancestors . Why? Probably because if given another opportunity, he will not hesitate to repeat the same scenario. So, as I mentioned earlier, there's a huge difference between forgiveness and forgetfulness.

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 anyone 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. kingsouthie: 13 Likes |

No, that's not a common reaction in the South East. Otherwise someone like Ojukwu would not lose any election in the region - but he did. Why? Because no single individual ever has the right or power to DICTATE actions to people. Even sitting governors have been resisted by the people in the south east let alone a traditional ruler. Fact is, you simply CANNOT comprehend what I'm saying here. Why? Because the concepts of individualism and democracy are totally alien in your culture. kingsouthie: 11 Likes |
