Spirit96: I do nt really believe that d terrorist abducted d German frm Naija. There shld be thourough investigatn 2 ascertain d truth. Let them tell us d country in North Africa where they are right nw.

noiseless:

And the man they call ONAKAKANFO of yoruba AKA ABIOLA,why then did he run of to a  very far away america when there was no even war in the country only because his yoruba oil money loving bunch couldn't protect him against only one man ibrahim babangida and not even the entire country.  ABIOLA de KING DINOSAUR ran off after his best friend BABANGIDA refused to accept the result of the election the KING DINOSAUR supposed to have won, only to inundate ABACHA with congratulatory messages and letters when he heard that ABACHA has taken over the govt and begging ABACHA to please allow him KING DINOSAUR to return back from exile to nigeria,reminding ABACHA that him KD ABIOLA is his brother in islam and that a fellow muslim should not be allowed to perish in exile.  Did ABACHA not ask ABIOLA "was i the one who chased you away in the first place" the KING DINOSAUR even promised not to ever talk about his mandate should he be allowed back and be assured not be beaten up with koboko,he was then asked to come back and he came back and even listed 6 yorubas to be appointed as ministers to serve under ABACHA. Did we all not see how the yorubas were making mockery of ABIOLA, shouting go take your mandate orderwise he ABIOLA should be seen as a joke,and this was because the were hoping for a juicier position in the oil companies,and what happened when ABACHA and his yoruba servant boy the crying general OLADIPO DIYA arrested the KING DINOSAUR,did they many of them who were mouthing all over the place not run away not only out of nigeria but far away whiteman country? One would be expecting that since ABACHA died after even imprisoning his partner in crime ABIOLA'S kinsman the "GENERAL" OLADIPO DIYA, that the northerners would free their yoruba muslim brother as many of them sing it, but we all know how his so called "muslim brothers" murdered him,and what happened after ward? the same yoruba monarchs who also contributed in making mockery of his chieftains title "ONAKAKANFO"whatever that means,same KING DINOSAUR monarchs went from behind collected money for ABIOLA'S murder guess what case closed.Now, you shameless dinosaur descendants should first of all take care of your own business before diving into others, that is called foolishness because in every false claim which you make about ndi igbo, follows by tens of real and proven claims about your yoruba tribe which the whole world is aware of keep yapping it's in your dna though. I REST MY CASE.

Ikengawo:

Original igbo states and villages organized themselves as democratic republics. Leaders were elected to represent the specific demands of the electorate in representitve counsels. Also womens groups and yourth groups had representation.

Dede1:

You have every right to flaunt your ignorance in public but leverage to insult entire group of people due to your dimwittedness. It is only in your moronic world a prisoner is regarded god. In 1965, Awolowo was a prisoner in Nigerian Prisons in Calabar where he nearly wore his knee cap out while praying to “Oluwa” for a bowl of cooked black-eyed beans.

anuofia you are lamer than a lame duck
you get sillier by each post SE/SS are having strong alliance deal with and stop bitching around

Dede1:

I really do not understand what you are talking about with reference to Awolowo, neutrality, Yoruba, Ejoor and assurance. People, due to unavoidable weight of tribalism, tend to forget the time frame of the events, constituted authority and manner of protocol as it happened in Nigeria during 60s.

Sometimes, the things people post on this forum appear childish and lacked substance. Awolowo was nobody in scheme of things during the era in discuss. He was not a federal minister, regional governor, regional minister nor permanent secretary. He was ex-convict just released from prison by Ojukwu.

Ejoor was the military governor of mid-western region who had publicly expressed his support for Gowon and attended Aburi, Ghana conference as a member of the team representing federal government of Nigeria under Gowon.

Adebayo, like Ejoor, was the military governor of western region and publicly supported Gowon and attended Aburi, Ghana conference as a delegate representing Nigeria. Johnson, administrator of Lagos and Katsina, governor of northern region, indicated support for Nigeria under Gowon. Only Ojukwu and eastern region opposed Gowon and Nigeria.

How could a sane person talk about neutrality when the governor and the region are seen publicly supporting one side of conflict and even procuring arms and ammunition too?

I guess universal and standard meaning of certain words do not apply to Nigerians.

Cowered yes, but betrayal has never been used by me to condition what happened during the periods from 1966 to 1970. Yoruba and certain ethnic groups in southern Nigeria made the decision to join northern region of Nigeria to prosecute a war against Biafra. It is now a history we shall live and die with it.

Lame duck
Fixed
Ezi ofia
go and do some research on the Okoyas , Obasanjos and many other yoruba families

Isi ekwe

Dede, can you  make your point without being downright coarse and obnoxious.
Remember, you do not have a monopoly on invectives- two can play that game but i let you off for now.
Anyway, back at the ranch i thought Ojukwu's grouse and by extension the ibos was the pogrom unleashed on them by the northerners. At the beginning of all these wahala when all the actors were grandstanding,
Awo definately categorised the neutrality of the yorubas and Ejoor even went as far as to get assurance from Ojukwu that his region will not be turned into a battle front between the ibos and the hausa/fulanis. Ojukwu also told Awo at their enugu meeting that the only way he would dialogue with the north is on the
battlefield however when the war started, instead of him to head north, he chosed to invaded his
neighbours and annexed their land. Yet you and your ilk wondered why the yorubas fought back at Ore.
You even instigated another propaganda against us that we betrayed you 'cause we didn't fold our hands and watch as ibos turn our ancestral land into a warfront between them and the north. Maybe, you
expected us to join you ibos in destroying our region in your fight with the north.
Gosh! You guys are just so damn clever! [/color]
