About 41 years after Nigeria was plunged into a civil war,former Action Congress (AC) governorship candidate in Enugu state,Prince Mathew Agu,has described fratricidal war as needles and a frustration of diplomatic efforts by the late president Nnamdi Azikwe and other eminent Igbos.
The AC chieftain in exclusive interview with Daily Sun,FAULTED CLAIMS BY THE BIAFRAN LEADER,DIM ODUMEGWU OJUKWU THAT HE LED A SOVEREIGN STATE,STRESSING THAT BIAFRA WAS ONLY A FIGMENT OF THE IMAGINATION OF OJUKWU AND HIS COHORTS.
Agu praised the high profile international diplomatic efforts of the late owelle of Onitsha,Dr Azikwe,which he said,DID NOT RESONATE THE DRUMS OF WAR,BEING BEATEN BY OJUKWU.

dat slowpoke must b high on cheap weed. Wat diplomacy do u need to engage in when dere is a deliberate,concerted effort to exterminate a race of ppl? He can go jerk off . I doubt if he lost a family member in dat genocide cos he wldnt b talkin like a swine.

^^ The poster is a known numbskull.

@Poster
It seems you are obsessed with Igbo affairs.
This tribalistic post should be confined to the waste bin.

Poster you shouldnt stoop to the level meksxclown,sunnyboboode, and other clowns . . .

Everyone has different opinions- so we should just leave it at that.
Make money and leave the tribalism to the bitter ones.

Is it right to guess that he/she isn't already at 'their level' because he's/she's a member of your ethnic group?

I'll take that as a yes. . . . . . .

You r spot on - one should not even spend a sec with likes that hate filled MexkAss & Wily Wan ker

Still the tribalism madness rages on amongst our youth. Which way Nigeria?

Yes and no
I expect abusive tribalistic comments from majority of igbo-guys esp on NL( iunno maybe the war caused it). As we see tribalist who open topics or comment specificly to abuse another tribe are mostly igbo guys such as Wily Wily, meksxxks, sunny bobo,onlytruth, and co . . .

There should be no reason for a yoruba person to hate, dislike or stoop down to the level of abusing other tribes as a whole.
Rarely do i hear a yoruba person antagonize  tribal insults, cause the majority dont care.

Me that everyone labels a tribalist you cannot find one thread that ive started in order to bash other tribes.
Igbos hate towards yorubas is nothing(doesnt matter) but a yoruba person shouldnt make himself hate or dislike igbos.

@Sjeezy8, my notion of you in the past was wrong. Iam impressed with your post these days. Keep it up.

What is tribalistic about posting a published newspaper report? Are you guys ok or is it a newfound madness with the use of the word tribalism? Will you call the newspaper reporter or the newspaper company tribalistic too? I tire for morons like the creepy nincompoop Sjeazy8

What is tribalistic about it is, the fact that the same poster only posts negative reports about other tribes and never about their own tribe. Such actions are predicated on the notion that the individuals from tribalistic poster's tribe never engage in unsavoury activities or that the poster disingenously ignores unsavoury news about his tribe. You spend a great amount of your time searching for negative news about Yoruba people. Get a life; no matter how much you try to argue against it, you have labelled yourself on these forums. Everyone knows what you are; even the silent members of these forums.

Do you honestly think that anyone with access to the internet and a lot of idle time can not find nasty news about clandestine acts committed by members of your tribe? Anyone doing so would be a jobless person.

Do you know why it is difficult to call Aloy_emeka a tribalist? It is because he posts newspaper reports about all tribes.

It is sad that youths in Igbo land look up to a failure like Ojukwu while ignoring Ziks views and philosophies.
Igbos would've avoided all the tragedy if Zik had led them at the time.
But igbos were also a victim of a dictator, a junta that imposed his views on everyone else.
Why is this man still celebrated ?

If you dont know why Ojukwu is celebrated, then shut up. You are not wiser than all those that celebrates him, even from your pathetic tribe.
You cowards always like to dabble into Igbos affairs that have absolutely nothing to do with your lives.

thank you yorubas are cowards, does that change your situation in Nigeria? No
Cause you cant win a civil war without help from the "cowards"
you cant win an election without the "cowards" voting for you or putting you in their political parties
etc. . . . .

@post
If I had to say who is the best for Nigeria as a "whole" I would say Zik, though Nigeria didnt come out how he planned it to be.

I didnt start this thread on a tribal bashing frenzy,i only wanted to point out to those blaming yoruba cowardice for not supporting ojukwu that the war was an avoidable and a big mistake;even Zik himself who was more diplomatic never did supported it besides this revelation was not made by me but by an igbo man.Therefore,bringing such to the notice of everybody dont seem to be a problem to me.no offence intended at anyone,please.

lf d guy had seen d brutal murder of innocents where pregnant women were sliced open and men beheaded in dere thousands and where all calls by igbos 4 a halt to d brutality was rebuffed he wld understand y dere was no option left dan to confront dat hatred headön. Same kind of ethnic hatred i c in some outlandishly stupid posts by a segment of ppl on nairaland

the issue of the civil war should be treated as a matter of national peace,no body should raise any dust about it. let us allow the sleeping dogs to rest where they are and give praise to God almighty for the peace we have today no matter how little it is.

Worry no more, my presence in Nairaland is to place those Yoruba retards where they belong.

Aaah, joblessness na bad thing

People make it look like ibos luv 2 whyn bt lets be realistic. Just imagine when the yorubas were killed in jos last year how did you all feel? Not forgetting that the rest of nigeria condemned it. The difference then and what aggravated da ibos was den da rest of nigeria(a large percentage) supported the killings. For no reason. Even if da ibos were pumpous peeps wuz dat enuf reason. And to all you zikist da reasn he's not really celebrated is the fact he chickened out when it came to challenging the system he was a part of and which he had a passion and dream for. He didn't see the reality on ground. He was an idealist. Plus with his diplomatic strenght he'd have ended the war much earlier but ofcourse he had to punish the young officers for taking power from him and making him irrelevant.
