Ikwu amaghi Ibe ezi ya come into play when we deal with abstract, but when it boils down to mutilating of facts, feeding our Generation with Poisoned Chalice as Communion, that makes the gods to rose in anger and make ready to wage a War.
I have read some Igbo Sons and daughters while trying to write about NWOKE TEGHETE, the One Man Multitude, General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, they address him as FORMER WAR LORD.. that makes me to think that something must have gone wrong with our Generation.
Unless our sense of history were thwarted or we have eaten away the Core vitamins of true WORDS, then we have no reason to ever allow anybody address Ikemba with such Muted disgusting Epitaph...
Come with me please, hold my hand, gently, now relax a bit and listen to me...
WAR LORD would've sufficed if General Ojukwu were involved in a War...
If there was a WAR FOUGHT in the first place..
It burns my heart and grill my mind when I heard an IGBO make reference to what happened from 1967 to 1970 as BIAFRAN WAR.
How cruel and insensitive shall we get?.. Yes, Nigeria do not have History nor history Class, but does it make us to also wipe our History?..
Even the one we see on daily basis and the ones that blurred our future?..
If you look closely or think about it, there is no History book in Nigeria, there is no where one can get the History or say story of what happened from 1960 till date, it is as if it never happened, the best you can get in History classes is some munbo Dumbo of what happened in AMERICA, EUROPE OR ASIA but not Nigeria, especially the atrocious Genocide of 70s where over 5 million Children were wiped out for reasons one can't understand till now.
Unless I got my version wrong and stand to be corrected, after the killing of Igbo Officers in Ikeja Cantonment in Lagos, after a fierce determination to wipe us out, we tried running back to our Home in the East, yet they invaded us and tried to Eradicate us like Pest...
Then we cried and say, Keep your Nigeria and give us our wretched home land, so we can live in poverty but in peace, on that they said... Impossible that Nigeria must be One.
Imagine a Landlord said that one is a Bad tenant, the tenant wants to leave and live in thatch and want, but the Landlord cried and bring Death saying, you can't go, you can't live on your own, infact you don't have the right to choose what is good for you.
Do not forget that,Nigeria gained her own independence from the Brutes we call Britain and not even a Knock out was thrown at anybody, but the silly thing is that Biafra wasn't declared out of envy or chastice, it was a last solution to save the lives of the survivors.
There was never a War fought in Nigeria, what some mistook for War, was a Divine providence that protected us from a Total annihilation plotted by the British, executed by our own African Brothers and those we share a Republic with.
The mistake was... Leave my hand, put your phone in Vibration and off your DATA, so it won't distract you.. Now hear me..
Prior to the Plot, or say after independent, it was Ndigbo that were educated enough to take over many things from the COLONIAL masters, the CUSTOMS and Exercise were fully dominated by Ndigbo as designed by Nwafor Orizu, same with Police and Army..
It was so because our forebears learn the games of the Brutes who came as oppressors but pretending they came with Salvation, so our forebears gave them Sons in everything they introduced, so that we can be in the know of whatever Vice or Good Deed they brought.
It gave us early Dominance and it scares the Brutish.
When ZIK were giving the ceremonial President without powers to do anything meaningful, his arch Political enemy who always think that ZIK existence always push his relevance into skew was very angry and boiling with envious passion, which led to a certian comment "Just give me President of Nigeria for 24 Hours", which was still birth, but moving on.
Then a meeting were held at MAPO HALL IBADAN, there after, Soldiers at the Rank of MAJOR strucked to implement the IBADAN agenda, which was to make PA OBAFEMI AWOLOWO the President.
He was tried for treasonable Felony and was sentenced to LIFE in Prison and he was dumped at CALABAR PRISON, were General Ojukwu freed him with the agreement, where AWO swore to take YOROBA out of the aborminable marriage called Nigeria, a waste of Republic,..
After the Coup, because Ndigbo had more Officers in the Cadre, but the five Majors that carried out the Coup has only 2 Igbo people in them, others are from all other Tribe.
After the Coup, the conspiracy to Eradicate Ndigbo off the surface of the Earth gathered muscle, then they muted the idea of ripen open the Bowel of our Women, but let me not provoke the Wounds that has healed..
Ojukwu made every move of a wise man, including going all the way to ABURI GHANA and having African head of states intervene to pacify and laid down Peace, they went to Benin also, but the British using the ISM and Schism that they have mastered, then brought in cunning that is lethal, they made Nigeria to see Ndigbo as pest that must be eradicated..
They feared that with Ndigbo at the head, that Africa will witness growth that will shock the world.
They fear the ingenuity of Igbo people and creativeness attached to it and they started plotting the decadence that held Nigeria in sorrows till this day.
They invaded Alaigbo through OBOLO AFO NSUKA and the Youths, Elders having seen the aggression, they ask OJUKWU to declare us a Republic, so that we may have chances of survival...
The Army that marched into Igboland, said it was Police action that will last for 48 hours, because there was no Arm or armaments in Alaigbo and our chances of seeing 3 days from invasion was ZERO.
The calculation of 48 Hours annihilation pronouncement was MAN propose but God disposed, we turned the 48 hours (2 Days) to 3 Years, what Nigeria as a Sovereign nation can't get right even with all the resources were made Manifest in Biafra at the Heat of the Genocidal rape and rage..
We Fabricated GUNS, BULLETS, ROCKETS, ARMOURED TANKS MODIFIED from PICK UP TRUCKS.
We created the first MOBILE RADIO called VOICE OF BIAFRA and our OKOKO NDEM and Chukwumerije manned the Radio which made BBC to sound like broken Gong.
We refined Crude Oil on make shift, whereas the Government as we speak cannot manage Refineries,,,,
Read my lips... Give our Refineries as bad as it is today to Ndigbo and in 3 years they will turn it to GOLD MINE and which all the proceed will become benefits to the nation and Humanity, but that is for Nation that cherish advancement.
At the Heat of the Cruelty, we build an Airport, 2 to be precise and it was hosting International Flights and Local, despite all the effort of British using thier Pilots to locate and bomb it out, it was operational till the end of the Genocide.
So my point is... There was no WAR FOUGHT, it was a Genocide, but God was merciful and we defended our homes, our women, our daughters our Land with Okpiri.
Please let nobody tell me that IKEMBA was a WAR LORD, for there will be a War before we talk about the Lord of it .
I don't owe you apology if I call you a MORON next time you refer to General Ojukwu as War Lord, if you truly wants to invite his contributions to the survival of South East, you can call him HUMANITARIAN GENERAL, who used his father's Wealth to Defend his people...
That takes me to Ndigbo and NZUZU, OJUKWU should never be viewed as Politicking hammer..
Whenever anything concerning him comes to play, all SOUTH EAST GOVERNOR'S even those suspected to have tainted DNA must be there.
All Politicians including Ndi na arisi Imi must also be there.
Ojukwu event shall not be left for BIANCA OJUKWU the wife, Ojukwu is an institution, so we may disagree with him, but without his genuine Igboness, our history would've ended in 1967.
We should be thankful, Maka Uchu igbagbu mmadu..
We survived annihilation, we survived Holocaust, we survived ethnic cleansing... We are still surviving, but let nobody tell me that we fought a WAR.
Kindly stop addressing Ojukwu as War Lord,So I won't spit on you with spittle that never get brushed.
I also feel pity for those who address Ndigbo as IBO or IGBOS, WE DON'T HAVE PLURAL FOR IGBO, WE ARE NDIGBO if you must pluralize it..then we are IGBO and never IBO as anglicanized by the Brutes, our language too is IGBO.
HAPPY POSTHUMOUS BIRTHDAY TO THE GENERAL..
BAR Man bring me a Pot of Isi Ewu, bring me 3 Kegs of Palm wine, brings Stouts and Whisky to Mix it, I am in a very Foul Mood.
And I don't want to be livid this morning.. Mazi Odera POg JP also known and addressed as Mkpisi Ndi Egede.
