re@lchange: The number 1 commander that crushed Biafran forces was a Yoruba man named benjamin Adekunle The biafran forces surrendered to a Yorubaman named Olusegun Obasanjo Did the French fight the germans at all? they only deployed guerilla like tactics after the Germans occupied their country Answer my question: Did the Red Army stop chasing the Nazis once they were out of Russian territory? Why did General Zhukov invade Germany and utterly destroy Berlin? You all really need to read more about wars Just like Adekunle asked Why didnt the Russians ask the Germans to give them a corridor to deliver food into Stalingrad during the seige This interview with the most important man in the Nigerian war took place at night. Whisky and beer were abundant, uniformed go-go girls played DJ, Adekunle danced and petted his mascot, a small mountain goat named "Ojukwu".http://www.kwenu.com/biafra/adekunle_interview.htm Just like Adekunle asked Why didnt the Russians ask the Germans to give them a corridor to deliver food into Stalingrad during the seige, Like Biafrans are claiming Nigeria didnt do for them |

dayokanu: you don't give the french much credit and likely so because they joined the ranks of allied forces who landed at normandy and from there the rest is history if the americans never landed at normandy, france would have stayed under german control if the hausa/fulani soldiers based in ibadan and lagos didn't confront biafran troops at ore, the whole of Yoruba land would have crumbled like france yaribas were not in the military in relevant numbers as of 1967 you were saved by the north just like the french were saved by the amerricans and the british why do you make more noise than the real victors |

re@lchange: How come it was Yoruba commanders that crushed the biafrans i.e Adekunle or which french commander led the Allied forces? How come it was a Yoruba man they surendered to while Germany did not surrender to a French commander. All your analogies fell flat in your face |

if there were no hausa and northern soldiers who were occupying Yoruba land in 1967, who would have stopped biafran troops at ore no doubt yaribas are like the french but the french never brag about the world war II why do you brag more than your saviors |

Onlytruth: I have worked in the US for many years; EACH and EVERY job I've ever obtained was after undergoing a stiff screaning process based on such criteria as education, experience, written tests, and oral interviews. None of the jobs was ever given to me based on anything but MERIT. I know about "affirmative action", but the overwhelming majority of jobs here are based on qualification and competence. Often, one finds oneself working with mainly whites and asians; but EVERY black I have worked with here are very competent and very hardworking. What you just wrote is the said reason many Europeans deemed Africans ignorant, unable to lead themselves and unable to succeed. Which daily and sadly, Africans continue to prove them right. Instead to choose the best competent for the best jobs, Africans natural seek someone of "my own" ethnicity, etc. It's a damn shame. |

OP was right this thread is now crawling with coward yaribas who didn't have up to 5% of the military during the war now they are supposed to have defeated biafra with two men these yaribas never cease to amaze |

Sorry about how Adekunle dealt with your people He shot everything that moved and those that didnt move, While Ikeeba and company ate the others for dinner no wonder Ojuku was getting fatter while common people were dying of kwashiokor Show us pics of any Ojuku family that starved yet he allowed defenceless kids to starve to death What an animal |

Onlytruth: Also the second leg of my question is why the so called "dominated groups" are always fighting to keep the "dominating group" in Nigeria? don't flatter yourself boy! That you have domineering, arrogant, annoying attitude does not mean you are dominating. You lot just suffer from delusion of grandeur but I suppose we should suffer you fools gladly as it makes you all sleep at night. The "dominated" not letting the "dominating" go. What a load of baloney! |

dayokanu: if all the members of the nigerian army were the 200 Yoruba soldiers in the whole nigerian army would they have stood against 200 red eyed biafran soldiers even with general MacArthur as their commander |

re@lchange: Biafran soldiers were a joke or are those not the same ones Adekunle used for shooting practice? |

One_Naira: Spot on, but the more puzzling thing is that afterwards they still complain that things don't work. Isn't that similar to a child who insists on finishing his food today and will still wake up early the next day to start crying about the same food? This is puzzling to say the least. This is why I question the mental health of some Africans. |
Re: Why Do Some Africans See Merit Based Appointments As Proof of "Domination"? by Onlytruth(m): 4:46am On Aug 29, 2012 |
re@lchange: Thank you my brother! The fallacy is obvious to any intelligent mind. You allege that someone is dominating you, yet you cling on to the person directly or indirectly. You depend on him to develop your towns; you go to the schools he built in his own side of Nigeria; you do everything you can to remind him of the last time he tried to secede (obviously with the hope that you can frighten him out of his secessionist agenda); yet you still accuse him of dominating you! Nna I can't follow this type of a convoluted illogic. |
Re: Why Do Some Africans See Merit Based Appointments As Proof of "Domination"? by Onlytruth(m): 4:52am On Aug 29, 2012 |
re@lchange: hahaha! Bros I tire o! But I'm more concerned that they are flooding this thread with all types of chest beating. Shouldn't they be religiously supporting Igbo people to secede from Nigeria? I saw the thread where Obiagu1 was providing evidence that Yoruba should not be in Nigeria. I have not followed his evidence much, but that is what I would do if I don't want to be in the same country with Yoruba. I would do my best to help them leave Nigeria. But that is not what we see in case of Igbo. Our accusers NEVER make case for us to leave Nigeria; they NEVER offer support to us in our bid to leave. On the contrary they try to play mind games by reminding us how they joined the forces trying to keep us in Nigeria by force. What type of mental retardation is that? |
Re: Why Do Some Africans See Merit Based Appointments As Proof of "Domination"? by Onlytruth(m): 4:58am On Aug 29, 2012 |
So, I have finally concluded that the GREATEST LIE ever told in the Nigerian nation (from amalgamation till date) is that Igbo is dominating anybody. That is a GREAT LIE from the pit of hell, and GOD will punish any group that uses this lie to deny hardworking Igbo people their fair share of proceeds from their hard labor. Any group or individual continuing to peddle this lie will NEVER see progress! Isee! Signed, Onlytruth. Ndu di n'eziokwu 1 of Igboland, Eze Ndigbo Nairaland. |

^^ the curse of Southern Cameroonians is firmly on the head of their Oppressors from Nigeria. May be Aguiyi Ironsi too was a Merit Based C in C, or Ojukwu was a Merit Based Corporal too. Deal with the accusation of the Cameroonians that Igbos are corrupt and stop spinning trash here. . . Merit Based Appointment my foot. |
