The ironic thing about this genocide was that after the Hutu's killed and assaulted thousands of Tutsi's because they didn't want Tutsi's to be in leadership,the government forces were eventually overthrown by the RPF, led by a Tutsi-Paul Kagame,who is still the president of the county to this day. 3 Likes |

Sanchez01:you are writing gibberish! In 1957,igbos were murdered in the north without any provocation,and again,they were murdered in 1956,even though it was a political rife between the north and sw. Then,in 1966,igbos were murdered in their numbers even though the coup said coup was a representation of several ethnicity. Going down memory lane, igbos are suffering as a consequences of the action of the yorubas,who insulted the northerners in Lagos. it was that built up tension that resulted in the first murder of igbos. If anyone would be sincere,despite the flaws of Ojukwu, he did the right thing to protect his people. I want to stress it that the yorubas are the problem of the igbos,i and i cant fathom were that hatred is coming from. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Reading majority of the comments in this thread clearly shows that majority of nairalanders are really sick mentally. I mean, you see stories and pictures like these and you start a tribal debate?!! LIKE SERIOUSLY?!! I'm proudly Igbo but I denounce anything about division of this country not to talk of bloodshed. While you are killing yourselves over IPOB or Buhari or Afonjas, like the shameless followers that you are, the leaders of the given groups are enjoying themselves with tins of Milo and milk. Imagine the rubbish. 2 Likes 1 Share |

mank1234: You don't seek for reconciliation with a devilish mindset! The BIAFRA suffered catrarophic casualties, another worst is the ones carried out on children and women. Let me ask you this, and be sincere to yourself, what has been the gain gotten from this war? Is Nigerians living better? Are we practicing true democracy or federalism? Take a look at Rwanda of 24 years with BIAFRA war fought 52 years ago. Yet they are progressive. This goes to tell you this is an inclusive and apologetic government. Germany after Hitler till date is still make several reconciliation with victims of the world wars. What do we get in Nigeria? Benue state that fought against BIAFRA how are they fairing now? Where Is Gowon? Why is danjuma lamenting? Truth is the Nigeria entity is a vindictive and wicked one. Quick only to shoot down on innocent people and promote terrorists instead. We can NEVER move forward in this country. The hate is brewing. If I can feel this one, what becomes of the next generation after me? Let's face the fact,Nigeria cannot remain the same. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

rainylad: If you like you can jump right in front of a speeding train. The truth remains the truth. If it is a lie that Yorubas accommodate you on their land then pick up a bible and curse all the Igbos living in Yoruba land if you dare. If Yorubas begin an ethnic cleansing of your people from their land will you carry your house on your head when you flee to the east with your tails between your legs? Stop beings such a scallywag and face the truth. Why do you guys flee from the east Westwards? What is wrong with your ancestral home that you can't stay there? Do you want to deny the fact that you in the east see the west as an opportunity to escape poverty? I don't expect you to agree with me since you guys are experts in self delusion. If you are not in the west, I'm sure almost all your family members are there, in Yoruba land trying to eke out a living. Stop making a fool of yourself here and acknowledge the kindness of the hearts of those whom you love to hate. Yes, they accommodate you. Kill yourself. 1 Like |

The Rwanda genocide. I still remember how it started. I remember that I was going to a birthday party when I heard on the radio that the President of Rwanda and the Prime minister of Burundi both died in a plane crash. It was big news because it's not everyday you hear that two heads of state died in one incident. The next day, we heard reports that the Hutus and Tutsis were fighting. This was back in the day before there was anything like internet or GSM or smart phones. Back then, if you wanted to know what was happening in the outside world, you either had to buy Satellite/Cable or a good Radio or you wait for NTA'S INTERNATIONAL NEWS. It was underreported in Nigeria. I thought it was just a minor ethnic squabble between Hutus and Tutsis. I never knew that the months that followed, over 800,000 people were being killed. It was a tragedy but the I'm glad that Rwanda overcame in the end. 4 Likes |

nkwuocha: You've never seen a poor Igbo ritualist. And that statement right there shows the mentality of an average Igbo person. It doesn't matter what you do, get rich or die trying. So unfortunate. To you its ok to do human rituals for money as long as you make the money. You guys band yourselves over to Yoruba land to pollute and corrupt the place. You go to Lagos and engage in all sorts just so that you can go back home and flaunt your I'll gotten wealth at the poverty flogged people back in your village just so they can give you some yeye red cap to don and some table cloth material to sew and wear. Chai... I can only wish and pray that you guys get your beerfraud. That way we can conveniently flush you all sewer rats out of the west. Blessed be that day indeed. I can easily predict what would happen. You'll see Igbo people changing their names to Yoruba just to remain. I know that's what your strategy is. You'll probably claim Lagos as your state of origin. If I ask you what your Yoruba name is would you be bold enough to confess same here? Never. Keep it up. Go back and check the pictures posted on this thread and compare with your starving fathers during the Biafra war maybe then you'll realize that when push comes to shove, losing everything within the blink of an eye is a possibility for you. I can only pity your people back in the east who think you're gainfully employed here. "Any way na way". Every day for the thief, one day for the owner. |

Thie is what Buhari is doing through the hersmen. Fulani herdsmen kill thousands with impunity; victims try to retaliate, Buhari sends the Nigeria military to stop the retaliation. Example: Plateau, Benue and recently Taraba. Buhari, you cannot be in that office forever; you exposing your people to genocide. By the time all ethnicities rise up against your people (Fulanis), 80% of them will be wiped out. Buhari, stop being a dunce and do the right thing by stopping double standards. 1 Like |

Explorers: The conflict's cum ethnic cleansing in Rwanda is as old the country itself,Paul Kegame is a very strong leader for being able to keep the country at peace for over two decades and same can't be said of their kinsmen in Burundi. The Hutu and Tutsi in Burundi are still killing each other till date. I fear the post Kegame's Rwanda. Until there is relative peace in Burundi,Rwanda is just a stone throw away from another 1994 massacre. 1 Like |

walexy100: I quite agree with you. The Tutsi in Rwanda who coincidentally are mostly cow owners too are few but dominates the political-economic of Rwanda and Burundi,the Tutsi who dominates the Burundi army are quick to protect the Tutsi during any ethnic clashes this got the Hutus in Rwanda angry hence the almost total annihilation of the Tutsi's in Rwanda. Till date the Burundian military domibuated by the Tutsi are still carrying out this systematic killing of the hutus,their Rwanda neighbours are watching and they won't forget.. |

Stop fueling hate with tribal and ethnic sentiment. That was the root cause of Rwanda genocide itself and beneath this are lies that prey on the ignorance of unsuspecting citizens. The event in Rwanda bear no direct resemblance with Nigerian civil war. In Rwanda, the Tutsis had no premonition of impending calamity, and having more men in the military and administrative offices because of their larger percentage of the educated even though with minority population, they incur the wrath of the Hutus. The ethnic cleansing was covertly plan by the Hutus and unleashed without prior substantial acrimony between the two tribes. In the case of Nigerian, one mismanaged event lead to another fueling the already brewing ethnic discordance. The north carried out reprisal attack within the military rank owing to what they claim was an unjust extermination of their leader in a military coup led by the Ibo. A progrom in the north led Ojukwu to mobilize Ibo tribe for secession. Several peace talk failed and a state of biafra was unilaterally proclaimed sparkling a civil war. Although I do not justify Nigerian treatment of Igbo civilian during the war but then their is injustice everywhere even at a time of supposed peace. |

This is one reason why people need to keep reading history or have it sung in their ears. It's better to learn from history and other people's experiences than wait to experience the same thing. Everything else can be recovered, but a life, once lost, is gone forever. Learn from Rwanda. |
