The war was unfortunate but unavoidable. Someone had to standup to the North and Yorubas simply dont have that sort of backbone. So Igbos had to fight, they were the only who could. 25 Likes 6 Shares |

gidgiddy: Your greed led you to a position where you had to fight. Yorubas are not backbones to serve the purpose of the Igbos or come to their rescue after fomenting trouble. Azikiwe was in control of his full senses when he ensured that Nigeria will not have a secession clause, and that such a move would only be settled by war. If only he knew he was sealing the fate of his own people. You never remembered your Yoruba partners in NCNC when it came to sharing the juicy spoils from your partnership with the North. Yet with greed you wanted more and thought best to eliminate political and military leaders from other regions except yours. Rather than be grateful that the Yorubas were civilized enough not to have their own pogrom against you in their region, your delusional entitlement makes you expectant that the Yorubas will lay down their life to protect you in the crisis you caused. You have never been useful to us, we do not owe you any delusional loyalty after an alliance gone wrong with your Northern partners. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

gidgiddy: Fight and lose, it is your headache. Stop wailing like babies in the aftermath that you were killed and impoverished. You should be proud of the fight you invited. When you were forming alliance and enjoying the spoils, you did not know you were embracing slavery. When Azikiwe was insisting that Nigeria must not have a secession clause you did not know you were embracing slavery. When Azikiwe was detailing how the North will be economically blockaded if it attempts to secede, you did not know you were detailing your own sorrow. When you were establishing a unitary government, you did not know you will become perpetual losers under such arrangement. Igboman, stop courting my sympathy. When you were dictating the type of Nigeria you now reject, having found yourselves as followers rather than leaders, all was well with that Nigeria. I have no sympathy to give you. Continue fighting with those you aligned with. When there was a need to fight for Democracy and the rights of the Yorubas, we fought and won. The current democracy allows for debate to chart a new direction for the country, but such constitutionally recognised debates are considered begging by a tribe that would rather self destruct like a blind fool, only to ask others why they did not come to its aid. Continue fighting your own fight to undo the errors of your elders who lacked foresight. 4 Likes 1 Share |

This is why there will never be unity in Nigeria. Our fellow countrymen can not even make the most basic of admissions to help heal to wounds of Biafra. We Nigerians deliberately starved millions of children. That was wrong. Whatever your tribe or religion. That is wrong. Dismissing the Igbos when they air their grievances will only create more Nnamdi Kanus. Throwback: 8 Likes 1 Share |

DejiSantos:
Biafra was unable to provide food security for its citizens. It was not Nigeria's obligation to provide or allow food to a separatist state that had already been successfully blockaded. It claimed to have the greatest army known to black Africa, yet that great army could not secure food for its citizens. The mere situation that they were dependent on Nigeria's mercy to allow food pass through Nigeria into Biafra, already suggest that they were already defeated and were expected to surrender, which is the ultimate plan of the economic blockade as detailed by Azikiwe when he outlined what would be done to the North if they attempt to secede illegally, Azikiwe having ensured that there was no allowance for secession in our constitution. Sanctions, embargoes, blockades are not imposed for fun. They are imposed to hurt and force a retraction of policy or position. If you chose to suffer and persist, please don't look for pity now. If you choose to persist only to capitulate eventually, then it is only evident that living in denial can never become reality. Ojukwu starved millions of children who needed a leader that wasn't mad. A beggar who felt he could dictate terms to the Nigerian government over the use of its own airspace, and ultimately employing famine and genocide as an international media propaganda that eventually sickened the very international media consultant whom Ojuku hired. Such that they turned round to beg Ojukwu to let his people have food. However, the mad man knew how to preserve himself and his family, and ensured they never suffered until an eventual escape to avoid the death he willfully imposed on others. There is no admission to make to a people who say others are cowards and they are not. Even the current democratic debates and discussions on how to restructure the country is considered as begging by the same people who insist that is weakness and cowardice. Peace is the price for cowardice, while misery is the result of blind arrogance and delusional self evaluation. I have no admission to make to such who chose their own path while I chose mine. 5 Likes 1 Share |
