quote:“Until now efforts to relieve the Biafran people have been thwarted by the desire of the central government of Nigeria to pursue total and unconditional victory and by the fear of the Ibo people that surrender means wholesale atrocities and genocide. But genocide is what is taking place right now - and starvation is the grim reaper. This is not the time to stand on ceremony, or to go through channels or to observe the diplomatic niceties. The destruction of an entire people is an immoral objective even in the most moral of wars. It can never be justified; it can never be condoned." -- President. Richard Nixon, September 9, 1968

quote:National ID to become VisA card .........> EL RUFAI
....meaning, one can have more than one id or more than one visa card and the common man with no bank account or source of income need not apply or is counted. Whats the difference between social security card and national ID, none.

Now would this be a promise or a threat?
hello usman,could yo tell me were this quote comes from,and if the words the warlord,were also included in the quote,or added later.the reason i ask is that ,internationaly,ltn.general,is the correct way to address Chief. Mr.Ojukwu,when discribing him in military terms.In answer to the question,is it a promise or a threat?I would have to say it is a statement,or as this subject is quotes,it is a quote.Haveaniceday (QUOTE:patrickonwudiwe)

"My name is Joăo Vidal, I'm Portuguese and live in Belgium where I am an airline pilot, flying as captain for SABENA, the Belgium flag-carrier. During the Biafran War, I was a military pilot in the Portuguese Air Force and met several Biafran Pilots. Two of my friends joined the BAF and I did not volunteer to join only because I was still in active service at that time. My friends were not mercenaries on the wrong way they are taken these days.
In Portugal we were very much aware of the struggle of the brave Igbo nation to build a civilised country and many people were willing to help. Nevertheless there was a contract with payment foreseen for the volunteer pilots. Obviously, in the last three month of war, all the bureaucracy was disturbed and the due payment was not made to the volunteers. At that time, due to the misery and contrarieties the Biafrans were enduring, nobody cared if they would be paid or not.
My friend Artur Alves Pereira, squadron leader on T-6G and Minicon, left Uga on the 9th January 1970 and flew to Gabon. After his arrival in Lisbon, although the war was over and all the Biafran offices in Portugal were closed, when he never could expect, the ex-Biafran Government sent him the correct payment to the last penny for all the war missions he had flown. This small example shows how special a people the Igbo are. Which country in the world, let alone in Africa, would bother to fulfil its commitments to this extent? Which messenger wouldn't fill tempted to keep part or even all of the money (quite a lot at that time), mainly when the future seemed so uncertain to everybody involved and obviously there would be no court to complain to?"

on the point of Biafran pilots,let me tell you of one that never made it to sign up,Peter Obi,married to a German lady,with 2 children,whom i played with as a child.he was in the nigerian air force,lived in the air force compound near Ikeja,opposite the Mugambo country club.when things in lagos started to get out of hand and Igbos were being killed in the streets,he was leaving the compound with his wife and children,he was stopped at the entrance post by soldiers,taken from his car and shot dead,in front of his wife and children.I imagine he was on his way to Biafra to join up there.his children will now be close to 50 years old,thier father died for Biafra in the first days,just thought it would be nice to let Biafrans know there are unsung heroes of the cause,who couldnt pick up any wages.haveaniceday.

Patrick,
Yes, Igbo history is replete with examples of heroism. Unfortunately however, these heroes + heroines of ours will remain unsung as long as Nd’Igbo remain in the lie that is Nigeria.

Thanks for providing another Igbo voice needed to advance a Northern/Western polemic. I leave you with the full weight of your conscience...that should be punishment enough for you + your kind.

MASSOB accusing Ochiwarlord of criminal ignorance:
quote:when those who know law look at your childish application of the definition of fraud, it will be clear that you are guilty of fraudulent ignorance.

Daud i can see that you have not yet overcome the trauma I have instilled in you. And good to know that you and Massob are completely ignorant of the law having to wait for "those who know law" to prove me wrong. Well let us continue to wait for "those who know law" to correct me, and until they do, please keep your ignorant fingers off your keyboard on this issue, you are making a nuisance of yourself. Thank you.
