All: It is now obvious that in BiafraNigeria, one region’s mass murderer is another region’s hero. In the Hausa-Fulani North and parts of the Yoruba Southwest, Murtala Muhamed is a hero, even though Murtala slaughtered Igbo children in cold blood. To the Igbos and Minorities of Eastern Nigeria, who remember Murtala as the butcher of Asaba, Murtala is a mass murderer.
My question is, should B.S. Dimka, I.D. Bisala, Gomwalk, and the other “heroes” of February 13, 1976 be honored in the so-called Middle-Belt and other parts of BiafraNigeria, the same way that Murtala is honored in Kano? For that matter, why should an Igbo not join in celebrating Dimka and co as heroes of BiafraNigeria? If a murderer wiped out your entire village, should you not celebrate, as a hero, the person who killed that mass murderer? After all, there is no agreement throughout BiafraNigeria as to who our heroes are. If Murtala is a hero, so is B.S. Dimka - the man who stopped the mass murderer.

Onyemaechi: Using Nigerian standards, Dimka and co are certainly heroes of the Middle-Belt. But, before I can join the Middle-Belt in celebrating Dimka as a hero, I need to know what atrocities Dimka himself may have committed against NdiIgbo. As you know, When Dimka killed Murtala, Dimka was not thinking about Murtala's crimes of genocide against NdiIgbo. Dimka was thinking about his Middle-Belt comrad, Gowon. However, I will celebrate Dimka as a hero before I ever celebrate Murtala Muhamed, the well-known mass murderer.

There is no diference between Dimka and Murtala, both are cerebral assassins, repellent skunks [kwarikwata]and of course from parasitic race with an IQ of a Nigerian soldier...nothing.
Just between you and me and if I have to chose. In fairness, Dimka though not my hero is much better rested in Heaven than in hell compared to Murtala. Killing Murtala was a dirty job but somebody gotta do it. Dimka my hero? I will not go that far.
Hail Biafra

Ednut: Belated congratulations on becoming a Senior member. You have joined Lady Biafra, Amanda, chiboy, Biafra, Ambrose, and Wacko in that still exclusive club.
The stories that Murtala Muhamed is from the Middle-Belt are generally incoherent. As far as most people know, Murtala is a Hausa-Fulani northerner.

Thanks guys. I will also like to thank my good friend Amanda Wekson, the one and only, if it were not for her, I woundn't have made it this early.

Fairly expressed Lady Biafra [Amanda] not exactly a home run appreciation. I am sure you could do more than that. I had expected you to be more direct in appreciating Ednut on becoming a senior member, after all he has one special feelings for ya......mmmmmmmmmm friendship, you bet.{{{{{{{{smile}}}}}}}}}
By the way Ednut.......congratulation to you. I hope you use your seniority to refine your opinions in issues that most of us find very very dear, that does not exclude and without specification that special heart you have recently discovered. If you know what I mean. We attracts heart by the qualities we display, we retain them by the qualities we posses. Go for it and kudos to you baby.
Hail Biafra

"Wasn't Dimka part of the anihillation of the Igbos? I don't think so.
Does this mean that all Nigerian soldiers were as gallant as your statement? For the fact that Dimka was a member of the Nigerian army does not automatically qualify him a destroyer; after all the war was mostly fought on the Nigerian side by mercinaries from Europe and North Africa.
Murtala was a very visible and incompetent misfit soldier who used 30 thousand or more Nigerian soldiers as death became them. In a civilized country, he could have faced court martial and possibly a firing squard for his incompetency. I am sure most of those soldiers that died in Onitsha were the Yorubas and middle belt.
Advise, chose your words rather carefully.

Waypoint 1, I should remember to refrain from eating or drinking anything anytime I read your posting....so that I won't choke in my laughter.
Actually, I was in a charitable mood. That's why I gave Ednut a home run appreciation, including the whole nine yards. Considering how terribly bad he had been, I could have chewed his head off, instead.
Yeah, he has feelings alright...he gets a kick out of being provocative. I wish you luck in his reformation. (Laugh).

Waypoint1Biafra: What I meant was, Dimka was a Nigerian soldier and he fought against the Biafrans. So what difference does Murtala Mohanmmed and Buka Sumka Dimka make in destroying the Igbos? What makes him better off?

Yara Wasa Buture asked, "What is the difference btween Murtala and Buka Suka Dimka"?
All Biafrans in the former Eastrern Nigeria do not believe that all soldiers who fought in the civil war are dispicable devil soldiers. We respect them for fighting what they believe in.
However, and to answer your question. The difference between Murtala and Dimka is that the former is a devil soldier who broke the law of war as more of a scientific destruction than genocidal. Murtala is a very good candiate for war crimes. He killed not only innocent and helpless civilians, he used thirty thousand Nigerian soldiers as satanic baits. Now thats the difference.
Let me know if you need my help for more clerity.
Hail Biafra

Adieu Bukar Sukar Dimka, slayer of the blood-thirsty coupist called Murtala Mohammed.
Like every good soldier, you did what you had to do i.e. repay the butcher of Asaba in his own coin. If Malu did his job well there would have been no Zakibiam!

The People’s General, Comrade Buka Suka Dimka, this is for you. SALUTE!! You’ll forever be missed dear warrior. I was devastated when the news of your not really capture but your surrender filtered through the television sets in the seventies, this was before the junior awusa boy, idi bin daud was born. But all is not bad for your name will somehow find a place in the independent and civilized state of BIAFRA. This is a promise that I personally would fight for. Rest well!

Cutting them to size: olusegun obasanjo moves to dismantle northern control of the army, causing disquite in the north. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fellows
Victor Maul has thrown a curve ball from AREWA States at a conference chaired by his brother President Gowan from Plateau while their governor Dariye of Plateau in under attack and the account of the Great State of Plateau is frozen by the Great SATAN Obasanjo who is attempting to make the people of Plateau to suffer after he had already imposed State Of Emergency on the State
He is the only one who can say aloud what other whisper in the north.
So the 3rd term agenda was bad news. Gowan weighed in and Obasanjo promptly fired back that he Gowan was in no way to give advice on democracy. Gowan leaked that his men in Govt, have been sending texts on the impending 3rd term.He Gowan was busy leaking it to Nigeria.
I hope you now know where this plot is coming from and where it is going.
Remember when Gen Malu joined the army and how his brother Gowan gave all the Plateau people exponential promotions. There are more GENERALS from PLATEAU /BENUE STATES than SOUTHERN Nigeria. This will be explained below with consequences.
Malu came back from Liberia .with the loot from the inflated and un executed contracts with Abiola and Babangida. He was fine. He was a part of those who put Obasanjo to continue the old boys tradition. He was made the Chief . When President Obasanjo decided for an independent audit and control of the Army, he called in the Americans and the British. These hired groups quickly set up a bridge and gate between army and the president.They set up SECRETARIES OF NAVY. AIR FORCE, and ARMY./ They cannot report to the Defense Minister but to respected Secretaries of their departments. These Secretaries are civilians and some women from YORUBA LAND. The approve all contracts and budgets and meet with the Defense Minister. COAS was no longer a money position. Gen Malu protested his reporting to a Woman who was the daughter of the head of Afanifere. He was fired, Air Marshal Alfa and the rest followed. and were out. More control measures were set and many opted to retired and were retired without consent This was why they protested few months ago that more Muslims were being retired than Christians in the forces.
Gen. Malu mentioning Inspector Balogun is very telling because they all know the channels of illegal funding and distributions in Nigeria. He said of Balogun {{....he was very selfish, he did not share the money with his commanders. They were the ones who reported this case...to EFCC and by the time the truth came out, it was too late for Obasanjo to stop the investigations....}} Do not be surprised if it was the Arewa group that went to EFCC on Balogun to get Obasanjo. The Americans in the Barracks was not good for Gen Malu's pocket book.
Gen Malu says of himself. {{...I would have done what I was supposed to do, but I believe in democracy. So, I didn't organize a coup to overthrow him. Because I am a principled, trained officer, I insisted on the principles being applied.....}} He could not have because his channels to coup had already been blocked. The Secretaries had coup busters both foreign and home grown as advisers. Gen. Malu could not do anything in Benue during the crises in his state. His home went down to test his organization but nothing happened. All his so called MEN are out of Army and before the end of this year , more will go.because Gen Malu's men all got pat on the back promotionswithout exams. They are all failing out of the army. Gen Malu knew it and said of himself {{..“If I am not intelligent, I have the experience to count on...}}
The frustration of Gen Malu is not only his own as a notherner who injerited ruling others but He got into the Army when the North could do at will as wished. Who ever questioned them from any other part of thier empire that extended into the Deita where the money making liquid came from? According to Gen Malu {{.Now, we have the Americans sitting at the backyard because of the oil in the Equatorial Guinea..}} They, the Hausa, made deals even called in President Obasanjo , gave him time table, time limit on his PRESIDENCY. Told him when to hand over to Atiku. THIS SOUND LIKE CHRIS UBA AND CHRIS NGIGE When VP Atiku saw the deal has gone bad, he called in Arewa and the new politacal parties.VP became a bad and disloyal deputy.
Democracy as Gen Malu sees it is when he calls the chot as the COAS with more authority that than the appoimttee being the President.
The North does not get it, it is over, interms of ruling by coup and gun. That was sad for him to talk about coup were Gowan was. Gowan lost power to coup plotters of the North. His calling on Dambatta, Muazu, Al-Mustapha, Gen. Bamaiyi is to tell other states that he was not alone in this loss of power. He remembers when they used to drive allover Nigeria with sirens and block off roads in Abuja.Those good old days , when Nigeria was Nigeria, When Northern Army Generals , the likes of Gen Malu, Bamaiyi roamed Nigeria. The North has a lot of educated people but these coup plotters do not want to go home and rest in peace.
THE NORTH WANT THEIR EMPIRE BACK. GENERALS ARE BROKE !!
This is how I see it Nwadike

I don't understand the purpose of the article you pasted.
Could you not have opened a separate thread for the article so we could debate the merits and the folly of the article?
You did not even tell us if you agreed with Nwadike or not. It would be a pity if you agreed with him as not only have you helped to spread yoruba propaganda but you have bought it.
Malu like most Biafranigerians are fed up with the "president for life" OBJ. He pointed out facts where OBJ has strayed and a few propagandist decide to do a hatchet job on him for speaking out and you are propagating this filth.
Finally, if you do not agree with the writer, you need to delete that post or at least tell us why you do not agree ,the reverse is also the case. I can't help but think that you made a mistake in posting that piece of garbage.

The article is a sample of yoroba management of nigeria in action. They will happily hand over their country to foreign powers if by so doing they stand to gain any advantage over their former partner the Hausa or anyone else. This is similar to their initiative during the war under "shofisticated diplomacy" when they cowardly invited foreign powers and gave away the oil fields of Biafra and the Bakassi Peninsula for protection against the Biafran fighting force, although they had more men in uniform.
But I like yoroba management becasue I'm Biafran; anything that weakens the enemy and makes him look real bad works to my advantage. Can you image any respected nation allowing foreign management of its military for any reason? How can any one build a country together with such an unpatriotic, cowardly class of people, without providing superior supervision if they have to be in charge of anything? Where in the world would a country invite foreign powers to oversee the management of its military of all places? Only in a country run by crooked cowards or an incompetent yoroba like olusegun obasanjo, who has nothing to prove to the world about his culture.
But it is yoroba vs awusa/fulani this time. The question is since bad blood has replaced mutual hatred for the Igbo, will they now fight to settle the score or will they continue to hide under expensive foreign protection to save themselves from each other at the expense of Biafrans? We keep watching!!

The posted piece is welcomed in my view, the idea that malu is only shouting on top his lungs now after the fact is what needs to be looked at. After he was kicked hard outta there was when his little squeaks started coming out. Is there any ulterior motive why he did not exercise his stupid democratic ideals to RESIGN when he found out that things have taken a turn for worst? I don’t think anyone is in support of the Yoroba warlord’s forever agenda what we’re however in total cohesion with is for no northerner to ever smell that office in the next fifty or more years. That is the contention brothers.
