Nigeria Unfair To Igbo 50 Yrs After Civil War "Chimamanda Adichie Says" by Ogagist1: 3:02pm On Aug 04, 2019 |
ASABA-NIGERIAN author, Chimamanda Adichie has faulted the structural arrangement of the country, saying that other sections of the country have treated the Igbo race irrationally 50 years after the civil war ended. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie She spoke, on Sunday, brusquely after planting a hierarchy at the Nelson Mandela Gardens, Asaba, Delta, everyplace Nigeria’s conservationist and captor of the Sahara Desert, Dr Newton Jibunoh established her. Her words: “I think we should have a sort of Truth and Reconciliation Committee in this country, not just to address Biafra, which should be a central part of it, because it is impossible to understand Nigeria without understanding her history from around 1965 to 1970. PATRICIA OBOZUA: My unwritten rule to stay on winning ways(Opens in a new browser tab) “For Nigeria to thrive as a nation, we have to acknowledge the truth. In Asaba for instance, brutal massacres happened during the war and not yet acknowledged and so a lot still needs to be done, let us just air our history, sometimes all people need to hear is sorry. There are houses in Port Harcourt today that were named abandoned properties and were illegally taken from their owners. There were people who lost everything they owned and just given a tiny amount to start all over. That is injustice that has not been addressed,” she said. The author asserted, “Acknowledging our history does not mean we will have to divide Nigeria AND dissent does not mean treason.

Delusional nyamuri flat.heads always have a way to twist narratives to whatever suites their agenda and leave their own shortcomings aside In all their phoney concocted and fabricated assertion , they illustrate and depict how northerners just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and started killing igbos for the fun of it I wonder how they leave outbthe igbo coup which annihilated over 95% of northern leaders leaving out their own on disguis of fighting corruption They were even celebrated and coronated as some sort of supreme leaders, but they always have a way to leave this out when narrating the stories to their children by making it look like northerners just started killing them Nemesis909: 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Nemesis909: Twist history? Nobody is twisting anything. U are filled with hate. The violence against the Igbos in 1966 was evil. Because Nzeogwu killed Ahmadu Bello, etc does that mean Madam Nkechi, a market woman, deserved to lose her life; just because she's Igbo.

Asnafsaeed: Some people just stay displaying their incompetence. The bullshit you just wrote have been defeated None-stop thanks to the internet. The so called "Igbo coup" had NON Igbos that partipated in the coup. Attached is the names of Northern soliders who participated in the so called "Igbo coup". In addition, an igbo, Arthur Unegbe, was murdered during the coup by an igbo solider Some Niggerians displays to me why that shithole you call a nation is the hellhole it is. Alot of it's citizens are extremely ignorant and proudly display it even though they are making a fool of themselves doing so. Educate yourself. You're in the technology era. You should not be this ignorant in this era. 11 Likes 2 Shares

mrvitalis: They have no proof. Till date, they've yet to provide anything to support the statement. The only thing they've provided as proof is that song Ewu na be Akwa which they claimed as Ulowu made to mock them. Despite, the song itself was by Rex Lawson and it came out a year prior to the coup occurred. Infact, if I remember correctly from what I read, the logic on them believing the song was about them is because Igbos are Keen to call them Ewu Hausa and the song uses the word "Ewu". Anybody that's ever listened to the song will sit and wonder how the Bleep does one collerate wtf the song is about to mockery of them... That just the level of incompetence of these people. Anyway, excluding that song. The other proof is claims of a picture snuffed in bread sold. Till date, not one single evidence of the so called picture have been provided excluding the one they released in 2012 where the author of the propaganda release was too stupid to realize photoshop and HD camera did not exist in the 60s. Till date this mofos have not provided any evidence. Mind you ooo, in the 60s although not as technology advance as it is now, they have some technology to document things yet till date, not one single evidence. Not a fucking video, not even a fucking picture. 13 Likes 1 Share |

It has only been defeated by the over 70% of igbo authors and their symphatiers, who have over the years been writing distorted and forged articles to sway the gullible.. they can only fool your likes, no matter the angle u want to come from, u can't belie the fact that the major instigators are igbo You can't twist reality in a desperation bid to paint yourself in a good light! Or your trying to tell me you know better than Danjuma, Gowon etc who had a first hand experience and who all claimed is an "igbo coup" You can't be on the comfort of ur zone and be reading articles aurthored by majority igbo, distorting reality of events in their favor Your people had a major role in making this a shithole country, look at the casualty of the igbo coup, you had non from ur side..and u expect the north to clap for u, las las sense fell on you!!!

There is no right I enjoy as a Nigerian who is not Igbo, that Nigerians that are Igbos do not also enjoy. What the Igbos have been prevented from achieving is their gluttonous desire to have everything to themselves alone. They have simply found it derogatory and frustrating that they need the approval of others to have their way, while other tribes do not suffer from the arrogance that considers compromise and intertribal alliances as necessary for progress in a heterogeneous nation. 5 Likes |
