    I really hope that one day, due reparation will be paid to the ndigbo. They have been marginalised for too long and I feel so much shame for Nigeria's negligence.
    The fact remains, biafra is not the fault of the people but of the perpetrators. I don't blame them wanting to leave, and I in the words of a lady I respect, Onyeka Onwenu, '' if you don't need us, then let us go''. Nigeria need to wake up to this reality.
    These people are not only resilient but industrious. Nigeria need them.

      Igbo as a matter of urgency should apologise to nigerians for killing ahmadu bello, tafawa balewa, akintola and for dragging nigeria to avoidable civil war. We need that apology as soon as possible.

      Who determines that reparations are due and to whom?
      Are you aware that people in the Midwest and in Calabar hold grudges, not against the Nigerian troops but, against Biafran troops who perpetrated massacres against them?
      Additionally, what right did Ojukwu have to subsume the Midwest and the south south into Biafra?

    • @Titoscudd
      @Titoscudd 4 года назад

      By the way, in spite of the massacre and in spite of the failure of the Aburi Accord, did Ojukwu understand the ramifications of his declaration of independence, what response did he expect from the federal government and had he prepared his people for it?

    This guy should shut up. The lady is asking him about the marginalization of his people, and he is there beating around the bush. Does he not see what they are doing to the seaport systems, the airport system, the industries, the power system, the university entry system. What's wrong with him, he has the opportunity to spit it out on national TV and keep beating around the bush. He sounds like someone they hire to not answer the question whichever direction they go so it sounds like there is nothing like marginalization. Let them ask questions like this to MNK and see if they will publish it

      I noticed that the north have victimised the Yurubas alot more than the Igbos . Abiola was murdered by the north and so many others from the Yuruba land.warning Bole Tinibu will go the same way Abiola go if Yurubas are not careful .thanks my love Yurubas and Igbo brothers .unity we stand against the northerners.

    I begin to hate mostly the attitude of the Igbos. Why do they dominate the comment column of every newspaper, radio stations, Television station and all news media house? Don't these people work or have a life? The best thing is to allow too, others to talk about the Nigeria issues. Igbos are not the only tribe marginalize in Nigeria? Yorubas are also suffering, People migrate to Yoruba land and they can't do a shit. We need a breathing space which we are denied.

      But nobody's stopping others from commenting on every other place news sources. Those who feel most marginalized and most hurt speak out as it appears and as you have observed, given your comment. If others felt the same, they'd surely be pouring out comments too. So, don't get confused and get sentimental about it. It is just what it is. However, I am advocating for ONE NIGERIA. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO BE DIVIDED. NOT NOW; NOT EVER.

If you are so much of a sadist as to justify the plight of the igbos, then your hatred shall bear nothing but heart attack for you. Why are you people so afraid of hearing igbos say they want Biafra? If truly Yorubas who make so much noise of being marginalized and suffering as much as the igbos, why dont the be bold and make open their desire for Oduduwa...we know they want to. Their fear is that while they are playing the coward cookie, Igbos will leave and they would be stuck with the Hausa-fulani masters, and that is why they always ridicule any effort for Biafra. Cowards!
