Real sifia pains because of Igbo matter

StOla:



Hahahaha!

This one is still suffering from the agony of self inflicted pains and tribal suicide.

It is only just that Ojukwu died as an invalid for the crimes he committed against his own tribe. Not to talk of the crime he committed against his own best friend, by ensuring he became the father of his best friend's grand children. What a shameless coward that should have been burnt alive for such taboo.

Even more just that Azikiwe lived to see the indivisible Nigeria he clamoured for, and the consequences he had stipulated as the penalty for trying to secede, being meted out to his own tribe.

I still blame Awolowo for trying to be magnanimous and humane to an ungrateful and overtly entitled lot.

You need a hug from those who know how to deal with you.

They kill you when they feel like, but you must always turn to them to feel some self worth.

You have learnt the hard way to give them their respect.

StOla:



I heard this is how Igbos manage to survive the PTSD from the suicidal war they bragged about.

I'm sure Awolowo in his kindness would not mind your lies, if it would make you sleep better. He was that kindhearted.

[s][/s] I get worried your people always try as much as possible to paint Igbos in a bad light and try to paint Yorubas as Angels. it baffles me. people died. 3 million to be precise and all you can come up with is this? have a conscience. I don't talk bad of the dead but this is having no soul. i believe if you had lost loved ones i wonder how you would feel. and if you feel i have lied thats your opinion.

meccuno:
So who would hug him?

His people who revere him continue to celebrate his memory.

One of the many follies of the Igbo is to think they decide who is a hero and who is a villain in Nigeria.

History remembers the Igbos as the villains who never wanted to subject themselves to the same rules they subjected others to. History remembers you as the rebels who took up arms against the country, when they had themselves crushed the rebellion of the Niger Delta Republic a year earlier.

StOla:


Go and cry at Ojukwu's grave.

About 1 million Biafrans died from the war, but it suits your propaganda to claims as many millions as you can think of died. The same way Biafra thrived on propaganda, thinking it will win them a war that had already been lost the moment an economic blockade was successful executed by the Nigerian government.

Mourn your dead if you will, just as those on the federal side mourned theirs.

Awolowo did not lead you into war, Ojukwu did. Awolowo did not owe the Igbos the massacre of his own people on account of the Igbos desire to leave a union they made indissoluble.

Whose fault is it that you lacked the wisdom to accept defeat the moment it was inflicted and negotiate a dignified surrender, only to wallow in pains for many months before capitulating to an unconditional surrender?

God bless Awolowo for his kindness to the Igbos during and most especially after the war. He ensured they had the resources to thrive again.

[s][/s] whatever dude..........you see what i have been saying? yorubas are angels while igbos are demons.........well,if it makes you sleep at night....

AbaLion:

These are the truths we have been saying to you for a very long time but a Chinua Achebe (who is rotting in the hotest part of hell ), other purveyors of lies and congenial bloodline of falsehoods were able to deceive your hollow minds and shallow sentiments much to a greater degree of victim mentality and a lower sense of ridiculousness.
I expect that you would give a retort to the OP rather than a strike through but you have confirmed yourselves as a proof of empty reasoning and a generation of Emo kids nurtured with a very low understanding of Nigerian history.

Achebe no go die well and every one that riles up your emotions instead of enriching you with facts of history.

Ok let me ask you. honestly. in your own opinion, if you were Ojukwu. precisely tell me what you would have done better than what he did. assuming you are aware of the timeline from 1966 to the Aburi accord. your answer would determine if i reply you or not, i will tolerate your insults for now but kindly give me your honest opinion on what should have been done.

Hypocrisy, deceit and propaganda from the ruling class did not start today, now we are understanding better where our ruling class learnt their blame game from.

First and foremost, I was wondering where the statement "All is fair in War" emanated from. From account of events that statement was not just made but fully implemented just like the present day "97/5%" statement.

For him to say the soldiers were well fed during the war because they were stealing the food they sent is the height of his lies, it's obvious posterity and history has been judging him harshly on the atrocities he committed against humanity, and typically, he is denying and apportioning blame else where. Were they not getting intelligence report during the war?? Do they not have enough security to move those food items during the war especially as they were winning the war from all sides??
With all due respect to to your person, personality and statues in the society, this defence is lame.

Finally, I hope wherever he is today, he is happy to see what have become of the entity he wasted the blood of innocent people and starved millions of children to defend.

I guess if he had seen the future, he would have done a lot of things differently, but , unfortunately he does not have that time.

History and posterity will continue to judge him.

StOla:



Don't you ever get tired of being the tribe that has a score to settle with just about every other tribe in Nigeria?

In fact, you take decisions as a result of emotions that are traceable to decades in history, where you claim a tribe betrayed you, or hurt you or cheated you, or did not allow you rule them, or did not allow you dominate their civil service.

Only you must be served, only you is entitled to loyalty, and only you is right and just.

Only you term everyone else as cowards, yet history and recent shenanigans suggest that your cowardly streak is an inheritance passed on across generations.

What have you done for others? What selflessness have you rendered? What loyalty have you shown? What bravery have you exhibited?

Stop making noise and disturbing Nigerians when they are celebrating National heroes and patriots.

Very true, apart from drinking a healthy dose of rat poison, awolowo had a very good political career.

successmatters:


People from his part of the world won't do anything about persecution, that's why they lost illorin and kogi. It's also very clear in the way tinubu is screwing them without any complain from all of them.

KGD10:


The summary is "I did everything to prevent my tribe from getting sunk into the crazy war of the Ibos (he had warned Ojukwu to not embark on a war and wait a bit) but still, I still help to prevent the total wipe out of the Ibos and ensure their properties were secured, converted their worthless Biafra pounds which the gullible Ibos had exchanged with their naira pounds collected by Ojukwu as well as preventing the Biafra army to continue feeding fat on food relief while continuing to embark on their hide and seek war even at the expense of the Ibo civilians and most importantly, quickly bringing the war to an end to prevent more blood shedding and death."

The FG on getting tired of ojukwu's hide and seek game had wanted to bomb the whole of SE but it was Awolowo who stopped it. What did he get in return from the Ibos? Wickedness while they praised the man who brought war upon them. Help an Ibo man at your peril.

StOla:


Simple!

If Ojukwu had found reason to press on with a war due to Biafra's perceived non implementation of the Aburi accord by the federal government of Nigeria, then proceed knowing the consequences and be ready to surrender when it is obvious as it was already obvious from the beginning, that it was a war that can never be won by Biafra.

Rather, Ojukwu pressed on, hoping to win a propaganda war instead. Thinking, if the world see that we are suffering while fighting a war with Nigeria, the world will fight Nigeria on our behalf.

Is it not stupid that a negotiated surrender was passed up for an eventual unconditional surrender?

What then was the loss of lives for?

Instead you look for someone else from another tribe you know is peaceful, and begin to vent all the frustrations of your war time losses on him as though he gave you a false hope of help to win the war, or he commanded an army that could have come to your rescue, or drag his own tribe into a war because of you.

Even the help that Awolowo rendered with his position in the cabinet of Gowon to ensure that you feel accepted back into the country, what did he get from the Igbos in return if not their scorn and hatred?

If he had not cared like the rest of the war time cabinet of Gowon, who actually wanted the Igbos to suffer some more even after the war, then your hate would have been justified.

Rather, like cowards you aggressively hate the one you know you have no reason to fear, while whispering beneath your breath in the presence of those who have instilled fear in you.

Simply call the eastern people living in the North to return home and continue their business and life in the eastern region and then wait for the perfect time to strike with the help of the Midwest and the Western but no, Ojukwu embarked on a war he knew he couldn't win and not only that, he invaded and attacked neutral regions such as the Midwest and the Western who weren't even part of his war. Rather than act diplomatic with the Midwest and western folks, just like the Israelites did with the the Edomites on their way to attack the Amorites, Ojukwu attacked them.

Ojukwu was just too senseless.

Gotze1:
Rhen why was ojukwu blocking food meant for civilians and give it to his soldiers.?
