I see you guys are still on this Civil war matter.

Awo, Gowon, Ojukwu...

Laughable.

Nobody wants to speak of the ridiculous and downright pettiness of Ahmadu Bello.

An individual who claimed to have had good education, but somehow let his tribalism have the best of him https://twitter.com/AyoBankole/status/1277517713934635008
Nobody wants to speak on how, from the genesis, there was already an innate hatred for a tribe by our Fulani elites; To Igbo's heavily invested in education and reaped the benefits hence their widespread involvement in top government agencies. If indeed you wanted an inclusive
Employment scheme, was the right approach to castigate a people (There's a video evidence on YouTube)

It's easy for us to pick on stories that happened years after, even deep into a civil war, but act & forget the ridiculous attitudes (Still exhibited today) that led to the war
The Igbo's have NEVER hated on anyone to the point of "Outright attacks".

It's unfortunate what happened in various SS tribes, but then again, I'm one of the folks who believe Ojukwu's approach at certain points were messed up.

Even my dad was almost killed for retreating with
His platoon... (If he hadn't leveled his gun at the major who gave the order, leading him to rescind it) perhaps I won't be on Twitter today.

A lot fucked up shit happened @AyoBankole and that's the fucked up thing a War that wasn't meant to be fought in the 1st place caused.
Awo, Ojukwu, Gowon... Hilarious.

Let's not act like this attack on Igbo's started when these 3 actors cake into the scene.

The same protagonist of this failed country even today still move around with their shoulders high, acting like they did nothing. All the blood is on them.
And I don't want to go into the gymnastics that led to a "MILITARY COUP" being branded an "IGBO COUP".

So long as the narrative suits a favourable region, it's totally okay.

Was the coup that led to the removal of the clueless IRONSI branded a "FULANI COUP"???

Even after that,
What happened?!?!

Where the Igbo traders and business men in various northern states accomplices to gymnastics performed by Military personalities?!? Why were they attacked and killed like chickens @AyoBankole???

Were there retaliations when Ironsi was murdered?!!
Yet, somehow

When Igbo's come forward to complain about the misguided, skewed, biased, inappropriate and misguided wanton attack on them; the program, the consequent war & the starvation of a people, people somehow make light of it

Awo's decision, was SALT to Injury @AyoBankole
We freaking lost everything, every freaking thing.

For a people who are peaceful, and have contributed immensely and continuously to the development of this Nation, we have pretty much been abused a lot.

So please @AyoBankole do not make this matter one of Bants and comedy
In all, I respect you as person on these streets.

Shalom
