There are those who believe that a lie told so many times becomes the truth. We have heard Nwa Aro repeatedly accuse members of this forum of embezzling his funds, he has been short on specifics and has refused to give details of when and who he sent the money to. I have given Nwa Aro enough opportunity to come out clean and drop the 419 but he seems adamant on hanging himself.It has become clear that the Nwa Aro is not just a 419 liar but may have ripped off his friends in Germany.
We have previously dealth with this issue in this thread 2003 polls end game
and the high light of that discussion was this from Ambrose Senior Advocate Advocate # 6
I really do not want to dabble into this nasty debate but I think the records need to be set straight. What is your anger and the brouhaha all about? You have to be very specific in leveling charges against anyone especially when it comes to money.
From the Biafra house opening to the anniversary party, you have insisted Ohafia or someone was tight-lipped in a series of scandals, thus misleading motives to rip people off in which you seem to be one of the victims. I'm not quite sure if there was any misleading motives, and in your own case, being ripped-off.
This is very simple. Like Chiboy and others have asked you: If you did send any money as you seem to claim, whom did you send it to and in whose name, and under what transaction? If you or anyone that you know of sent money anywhere or to any financial institution here in the United States or elsewhere in Europe, and you have your transaction records intact, I don't think there should be any need for all these squabbles.
And if you feel you have confronted whoever you sent your money to for a refund and the party or alleged "419ers" refuses to oblige, you have a case and I believe you know the right thing to do in this organized society of ours. We no longer live in a banana republic which makes this discourse totally irrelevant. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 275 | Registered: Mar 2001 | IP: Logged

posted March 18, 2003 12:57 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Egwuato: I can understand where you are coming from. If Ohafia is a saint to you that does not mean he must be to me. If you dont, many people here (including Ohafia) knows MY FULL NAMES. So I'm not a "ghost." Besides, I don't need any lecture from Ohafia or anyone for that matter on this board about Biafra then or now. I WAS BORN A BIAFRAN, LIVE A BIAFRAN AND WILL DIE A PRACTICING BIAFRAN-AT-HEART.
If my saying that I do travel to Nigeria often (sometimes for things having to do with uplifting the Biafran/Igbo dream which Ohafia and others in the know can confess to) pains any of you, I OWE YOU NO APOLOGY. If others can boast of living in America and other western "paradise" without a wink from any of you, I wonder why Nwa Aro should face the firing-squad for saying I AM ON THE GROUND AT HOME!!
Chiboy, Ambrose: Thanks for trying to salvage this UGLY situation. Let me make it clear that it is not the cents or millions that I was actually dupped here that annoys me. Rather it is an attempt by some to say because Nwa Aro has a different way of solving same problem like they would, that Nwa Aro should be hanged. Again I repeat, I am no other person than Nwa Aro, so no one should expect me to REASON or ACT like him/her.
I have the receipts of the transfers I and my German friend made to the "Biafran Fund." (which for some reasons were not announced on the "Roll Call" thread. I will ONLY put them on the table when someone comes up to say I, Mr...opened the account to which this checks were paid into. Or alternatively, someone comes up to say I know IN PERSON those who were signatory/ies to the said bank account, then will it be reasonable for (and I guess others) to open up on the monetary aspect. But since so far what we have had is a scenario where NO ONE (except Nkem Ejiofor) has has openly identified with the said master-mind of the said "fund raisings" 'Amanda Wekson,' it will be foolish for me and for anyone for that matter to tell how much he/she I was ripped off. BTW, who is the DIRECT ACCUSED as we write?
Ukaobasi: Nwa Mazi, I hear you my brother. I never said Ohafia stole mine or anyones money. What I said and still stand by is that I SUSPECT Ohafia (and probable others here) knows IN PERSON (especially 'Amanda Wekson') who pioneered all the scandals we are talking about. But if tomorrow it happens that I am wrong, be sure that as in the past, I will be MAN ENOUGH to OPENLY APOLOGIZE to him. While some would put different coloration to this saga, I would prefer a situation in the future where if someone has a case (proven or not) agianst I or any other member of this board he/she could lay it bare than to keep it secret and hold eternal malice. It is in that light that I spoke my mind about what I feel about Ohafia. But if anyone thinks otherwise, they are free to. If I sent a check DIRECTLY to Ohafia what would have stopped me from reporting him to Scotland Yard if I so chose? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 712 | From: Germany | Registered: Mar 2001 | IP: Logged
I have consistently warned Nwa Aro that the records exist to show who gave what in the Biafra house fund raising and he has always refused to answer the question as to wether he ever donated. We all know who conducted the fund raising and set up the bank account see below from the Biafra fund thread. I am now asking Nwa Aro to go to the police since the banking information is being made available below. With this information it should be a piece of cake for the FBI to fish out the signatories to the account.

Advocate Rated: posted October 08, 2001 04:46 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Biafra House Opening: The Report Friday, September 28 2001, and Saturday, September 29, 2001 are two days that will long be remembered in the annals of Biafranism. It was my honor and privilege to participate in the activities marking the Opening of Biafra House in Washington DC. The events kicked off with Symposia at the Howard University School of Law. I attended the rally and the Biafra House opening ceremonies in Downtown Washington on Saturday September 29. I also attended the Gala Night later that Saturday. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the symposia on Friday, September 28. However, I have since spoken with Dr. Enekwechi and Rev. Fr. Ahamefule Nnorom who gave the keynote addresses at the symposia.
Symposia
There were two symposia on Friday, September 28. The first symposium entitled "Continuing Genocide Against Biafrans and Conflict Resolution" was given by Dr. Emmanuel Enekwechi. In it, Dr. Enekwechi chronicled the ongoing killing of Biafrans in BiafraNigeria. He cited numerous instances of unprovoked killings of Igbos and other Biafrans in Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Bauchi, and other parts of BiafraNigeria. Dr. Enekwechi then led the audience through the history of anti-Igbo and anti-Biafra genocide, and he pointed out that it would be a mistake to treat the genocide phenomenon in BiafraNigeria as a historical incident rather than as the imminent and ongoing tragedy that it is.
The other symposium entitled "Islamization" was given by Rev. Fr. Ahamefule Nnorom. Rev. Nnorum traced the history of the Islamization of BiafraNigeria to colonial times, especially the period just before independence. He pointed out that the British extended certain advantages to Muslims, which helped to spread Islam to parts of BiafraNigaria that Islam could not reach pre-colonialism. He cited the use of federal government funds to pay Sharia Grand Khadis. Rev. Nnorom also pointed out that toward the end of colonialism in the 1950s, the British deliberately tilted the balance of power to the North by redistricting parts of the Middle-Belt into the Northern region even though those parts were administered from the East throughout the colonial era. Rev. Nnorom also pointed out that BiafraNigeria's former dictator, Murtala Muhammed, had a plan to completely Islamize the country. As evidence of Murtala's Islamist agenda, Rev. Nnorom pointed to the insertion of Sharia and the appointment of Grand Khadis under the Murtala-Obasanjo 1979 Constitution, noting that it was that Constitution that federalized judicial Sharia in BiafraNigeria.
Rev. Nnorom noted that the process of Islamization continued unabated under the regime of the dictator, Ibrahim Babangida, who unilaterally enrolled BiafraNigeria in the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC). Noting that only a few weeks ago, President Obasanjo inaugurated a Sharia court in Zamfara State, Rev. Nnorom issued a warning to Christians to avoid making the same mistakes that led to the extinction of Christianity and Churches in Northern Africa.
Rally of the Biafrans and Opening of Biafra House
The main gathering point for the rally was the front entrance of the Biafra House Building located at 733 15th Street NW Washington DC, just a few buildings from the White House. This trip was my second visit to the Biafra House Building as I had been there a few months earlier at the invitation of members of Biafra Foundation. Because of the antiwar protests, security in Washington was very tight that Saturday and several streets were closed to vehicles. Thus, I parked my car more than seven blocks from the rally location. As a Washingtonian, I knew my way around Washington and would have had no trouble getting to 733 15th Street. However, all one needed to do was follow the procession of men and women dressed in Biafra T-shirts and carrying Biafran flags as they marched toward the Biafra House Building.
Once I arrived the Building, I noticed Prof. Enekwechi who was the Chairman and Master of Ceremony for the occasion. Prof. Enekwechi is someone I have known for sometime and he it was that introduced me to some of the rarest recorded materials on Biafra. I met Prof. Enekewechi about 8-years ago, when I was an Engineering student at the University of Iowa. My friends and I became frequent visitors to Prof. Enekwechi's house in Iowa City, especially after we discovered Mrs. Enekwechi's mouthwatering and intricately delicious cuisine. Prof. Enekwechi and I exchanged pleasantries and he introduced me to Barrister Uche Okwukwu and Prince Orjiakor, both of MASSOB. We had some useful discussions. Back to the rally, lest I digress too much.
Still awaiting the arrival of General Ojukwu and Chief Uwazuruike, the crowd often broke into Biafran songs, including the popular Ebee ka unu si? and another that includes the words "We are Biafrans fighting for our freedom …". During one of the intermissions, an Arab-looking man who had been hanging around the area suddenly started yelling "up Nigeria." He shouted that he was an Arab born in BiafraNigeria and that he was opposed to the idea of Republic of Biafra. We escorted him away from the venue and called the police to remove and take care of him.
As it appeared that Gen. Ojukwu and Chief Uwazuruike would be getting to the ceremony much later than scheduled, Prof. Enekwechi called the group to attention and a decision was made to prepare to cut the tape and declare Biafra House officially open. This part of the ceremony was started with the singing of the Biafran and US national anthems and the raising of the Biafran Flag. Barrister Okwukwu was asked to cut the tape and declare Biafra House open. He did the honor, and all of us moved from the front of the building into the seventh floor conference facility of Biafra House. There, the singing continued, occasionally interrupted by speeches by Prof. Enekwechi and some of the war veterans. I recall a veteran who protested the use of the term "New Biafra" by some to refer to the State of Biafra. He argued that Biafra is timeless and there was no need to add the word "new" to the name.
Suddenly, General Ojukwu walked into the conference room accompanied by his wife, Bianca, and Chief Uwazuruike. We rose to acknowledge the honored guests. In what seemed like a hand-over of the much talked about baton from General Ojukwu to Chief Uwazuruike, when General Ojukwu was asked to address the gathering, he motioned to Uwazuruike, giving Uwazuruike the opportunity to speak first. Uwazuruike thanked Biafra Foundation and others who made Biafra House possible. He pointed out that Gen. Ojukwu's presence dispelled all insinuations that Ojukwu was opposed to MASSOB. General Ojukwu quipped that Uwazuruike should exercise all the freedom that he could while he was here in the US, since prison had become his primary home in BiafraNigeria.
In his address, General Ojukwu commended Biafra Foundation and MASSOB for the good work they have been doing. He encouraged Biafrans in Diaspora to provide a robust intellectual grounding for the work that MASSOB is doing. He also encouraged Biafra Foundation to consider setting up offices in Biafra. Noting that he was doing that which would be expected of a sixty-seven year-old, Ojukwu stated that if he were thirty-three again, he would be doing exactly the same thing that Chief Uwazuruike and MASSOB were doing. Ojukwu also gave a history of the Biafran Flag and the origins of the name Biafra. He thanked Biafrans for giving him his beautiful wife, Bianca, whom he described as a major source of his own youthfulness and vitality.
Then, the microphone went to Bianca Ojukwu. In her address, she expressed sadness about the condition of Igbos and other Biafrans in BiafraNigeria. She indicated that some Igbo members of Obasanjo's government had called from BiafraNigeria asking that Gen. Ojukwu distance himself from the Biafra House opening activities. She said that for her and Gen. Ojukwu to fail to attend such an event would leave the impression that all was well with BiafraNigeria or there was no need for the campaign to actualize Biafra.
At that point, a decision was made to redo the tape cutting ceremony marking the official opening of Biafra House. This time the ceremony was to be performed by General Ojukwu and Chief Uwazuruike.
I could not be present for this second ceremony because I had been invited to a reception and dinner for the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) weekend. Before the tape was cut for the second time, I left Biafra House and drove home to prepare for the CBC reception and dinner. But, Biafra Foundation members made sure that I promised to return later in the evening for the Gala Night. The CBC reception and dinner were held at the Grand Hyatt and the Washington Convention Center.
Rev. Nnorom tells me that the cutting of tape went well. Last night, Rev. Nnorom told me that just as the tape was cut, a bell tolled from an unknown location. The symbolism was not lost on some attendees, and they have dubbed the tolling of that bell yet another summon to Nigeria to go to her grave, and let Biafra be.
_______ Gala Night
After the CBC dinner, I drove to the Ukrainian Catholic Shrine of the Holy Family for the Gala Night. As I walked into the hall, I stepped accross to say hello to Prof. Enekwechi and some of the other members of Biafra Foundation. It was at this point that Rev. Nnorom came to me and said "Emeka, what is a young man like you doing all dressed up when there are all these foods and drinks to be moved into the kitchen area? I was thus drafted into kitchen duties. Anyway, that did not last long. I rolled up my sleeves, and we quickly moved all the foods and drinks to the kitchen area. Almost anything one could care to eat was there. There were all sorts of beverages too. I especially enjoyed the seafood.
As I glanced down the hall, I noticed Chief Uwazuruike in the middle of the hall chatting with another gentleman. I went over to say a quick hello. But, I detained myself a little longer after I found out that the other gentleman was Chief Egwuonwu, the former Chairman of World Igbo Congress (WIC). I had never met Chief Egwuonwu before, but I informed him that I had read some of the writing that his tenure as WIC Chairman had generated. He said he was very familiar with BiafraNigeriaWorld and he promised to join the debates in the future. He is a brave man. (LOL) I also ran into some members of this forum, including the tall and handsome Ben with whom I have some friends in common.
The Gala Night commenced in earnest with the introduction of the co-chairs of the occasion and special guests. That was followed by the presentation of the Biafran Flag by Biafran war veterans who carried the flag in a formal drill. There was a short prayer, the singing of the Biafran and American national anthems, presentation of kolanuts, a welcome address by the chair of Biafra Foundation, and remarks by the first co-chair of the event. This was followed by the soulful songs of Nwakego Ezeanuna. She really brought the house down as she sang the "Nwa Biafra" and other songs to numerous standing ovations. Boy, can that sister sing! Then, it was time to dig in and enjoy the delicious dishes.
A first keynote address meant to have been given by General Chukuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was given instead by Chief Ralph Uwazuruike since Gen. Ojukwu was not present at the Gala Night. General Ojukwu left for New Jersey earlier that evening after attending the Biafra House opening events. Chief Uwazuruike gave an account of his ordeal and the continuing harassment, murder, and illegal detentions of MASSOB members. He then reminded attendees of the need for moral and financial support by Biafrans in Diaspora.
A second keynote address meant to have been given by Chief Ralph Uwazuruike was given by Barrister Uche Okwukwu. Barrister Okwukwu stressed the need for co-ordination of activities by Biafran activists in Diaspora and those in BiafraNigeria.
The next event of the evening was the Fundraiser/Donations. On Thursday and Friday (September 27 and 28), Ambrose and Amanda contacted me to ask me to represent BiafraNigeriaWorld Forum members at the Biafra House opening and to pledge, in the name of members of this messageboard, the funds that had been raised in the Biafra Actualization Fund thread. We decided that we should add some money to what had been raised so that we could donate the round figure of $1,000.00 to MASSOB. Thus, on behalf of BiafraNigeriaWorld Forum members, I pledged $1,000.00 to MASSOB.
Making the pledge was my last formal act of involvement with the Biafra House Inauguration activities. I have received a check in the amount of $789.00 from Sister Amanda drawn on the Biafra Fund account. As requested by Chief Uwazuruike, I will send a check in the amount of One thousand dollars ($1, 000.00) made payable to Biafra Foundation. Last night I spoke with Rev. Nnorom to confirm that the mailing address where this check is to be sent is Biafra Foundation, 733 15th Street, Suite 700, NW, Washington DC 20005. The check will go out tomorrow.
After my brief remarks, I left to go home. That was about 2 a.m. Sunday morning. The rest of the program included Music and Dance, closing remarks, and a closing prayer.
________________________ Epilogue: The Biafra House Opening was one event whose attendees will not soon forget. It was an event as rich in symbolism as it was satisfying to those who took part in it. According to Rev. Nnorom, it was the first event of its kind attended by Gen. Ojukwu and Chief Uwazuruike together. Thus, it symbolized a union of the old leadership of Biafra with the new. The jury could still be out on this. However, if indeed there was a baton to be passed from General Ojukwu to the new generation, the events at Biafra House on Saturday, September 29 may well have marked that hand-over of authority from Gen. Ojukwu to the next generation of campaigners for the Republic of Biafra.
Aside from some sounds by antiwar protesters who were in Washington that weekend, the air in downtown Washington that afternoon was all about Biafra. Almost every Biafran at the rally had on a Biafran T-Shirt and a Biafran flag. It was the first time that I had seen people from BiafraNigeria in Diaspora identify themselves as citizens of a true nation founded on principles that go beyond ethnic and parochial irredentism. It was one afternoon when I saw a group of BiafraNigerians voluntarily and solemnly salute their Flag, the Flag of Biafra, sing their national anthem, and proudly proclaim their allegiance to their Republic - the Republic of Biafra.
_________________________________ Postscript: I have since been informed that the government of BiafraNigeria was compiling a list of those Biafrans that attended the events of September 28 and 29. To make their job easy for them, I am providing my e-mail address. If anyone encounters persecution as a result of their exercise of their right to freely assemble, rights that are elaborately protected under the US Constitution, please feel free to contact me, and we shall see to it that such criminal brigandage is punished, at least here in the United States.
*** This post has been edited to reflect that the presentation on "Continuing Genocide and Conflict Resolution" was given by Dr. Enekwechi, and not Chief Uwazuruike as previously reported. (16 Jan 2002) ***

Clearly all the donations for the Biafra house fund raising were accounted for. Though I understand there are resource limitations, I urge the web master to make the whole thread available from the archives which I believe exist. It would be only too helpfull to debunk this fraud being perpetrated by Nwa Aro. Nwa Aro read the Biafra house report, he did not see his donation reflected and never said anything. People donated $500 which was not embezzled why would Nwa Aro's 50dm be so tempting to anyone ? Ohafia sent his by electronic transfer and it was received while Nwa Aro's got lost on it's way accross the the atlantic.

Again when the decision was made to hold an anniversary party an accounting was made of the balance from the previous fund raising in september. Roll call for pledges
Please note the following carefully from that thread as there is still no sign of Nwa Aro's money sent in September 29 having arrived at the bank as at March 03. It does not take that long even for a ship to cross the Atlantic and we still see no complaints from Nwa Aro on his missing money.
Beginning balance: $142.75 (Dec 12, 2001) Jan 02, 2002: $100.00 Deposit (From Chiboy) Jan 10, 2002 $ 3.00 Service fee (Debit) Ending balance: $238.75 (Jan 10, 2002)
Beginning Balance: $238.75 (Jan 11, 2002) Feb 08, 2002: $ 3.00 Service fee (Debit) Ending Balance: $235.75 (Feb 08, 2002)
The question now is when did Nwa Aro discover his money was missing and what took him so long to accuse Ohafia. In the interim Nwa Aro had been communicating with the organizer's of the fund raising by email and said nothing about the so called missing 50dm.

Boy, you beat me to it. This retard called Chiboy really need a life. If he started this thread to get a response from Nwa Aro, then HE FAILED. Only a jobless man will have time to go to people to collect money and when he/she is asked to give account of it, he/she start smarting sweat as Chiboy and co are doing. It might interest the fellow to know that Nwa Aro has been to Nigeria more than EIGHT TIMES since he and his gang did what they did. He should take time to visit a travelling agent to know how much a flight from Germany to Nigeria and back costs to know that even if I was duped a thousand Euro, that I have long overcome that and "MOVED ON" as his comrade in crime adviced us to do.

It will be revealing to see the fellow tell those who care to read or respond where the other money MINUS Nwa Aro's went. And most importantly, WHERE THEY BUILT THE SO-CALLED BIAFERAN HOUSE.
Real BULLSHIT I must say.

I just checked at my bank yesterday (Friday) and the bank-transcript reads they transfered 50DM. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 713 | From: Germany | Registered: Mar 2001 | IP: Logged
Now you need to prove to this forum that you sent that money and why you never complained for over six months untill the second fund raising. I don't care how many times you have been to BiafraNigeria the fact remains you are a cheap rogue who will lie and cheat for 50dm. Now you know who opened the account and the whole world knows too, so do the honourable thing and show evidence that you sent money or own up to your lies.
The balance of the remaining money was mostly mine, I am sure you can still read and understand english. I should be the one asking after the money not you who took money from your friends and lied about sending it to Biafra Fund. If you think silly distractions from Ednut will help you out of this you are mistaken. It is not over yet, I still intend to show everybody you had private communication with those you turned around to accuse.

"It will be revealing to see the fellow tell those who care to read or respond where the other money MINUS Nwa Aro's went. And most importantly, WHERE THEY BUILT THE SO-CALLED BIAFERAN HOUSE"
Nwa Aro
Amazing you should be asking for where the Biafra house is when you had your own private delegates at the inauguration. Do you remember your response to the Biafra house report ?
Nwa Aro Senior Advocate Advocate # 27
posted October 09, 2001 05:12 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emeka, Your Report is accurate, precise, detailed and more importantly, superbly presented. what you reported is exactly what other non members of this forum have reported to me privately. Thanks a million for your time and resources spent both in attending the historic event of September 29 and for letting the world through this board know how it all happened. May you and others be rewarded a million fold. we are proud of you all who made our race proud in Washington. From Emeka's well articulated Report (without Uwazuruike's letter of appreciation), any sincere person who compares what we have been writing here and what happened in Washington will see in this board the lips of Ojukwu moving; the hands and head of Uwazuruike working; the voice of the voiceless, poor, oppressed and disenfranchised MAJORITY of Igbos at home speaking; here you will also hear the cry of innocent Igbos massacred since 1945 demanding for retribution, remembrance and immortalization. Infact, I can proudly say that we pro-Biafra on this forum have been speaking the mind of an average Igboman and woman in BiafraNigeria. Same kudos should also go to those who founded and have been financing this message board since it came on air about a year ago. Without any qualms, one can confidently say that should this great board go off air as some would want it does, it (this board) has accomplished its mission 100%, in that it has succeeded in reawakening the Biafran spirit which some mistakenly and somewhat foolishly thought died in 1970!
This Report, coupled with Uwazuruikes letter has also answered those who have been giving the world the wrong impression that we the vocal voices on this board are "harming" the Biafran cause.
Chief Uwazuruike, Thanks for sacrificing your pleasure and life for common Igbos like us. No sacrifice can be greater than yours. As you have already said, this is not just a struggle, rather, it is a battle between life or death for our race, so, we should not let our guard until we are emancipated from the bond we Igbos are held in Nigeria. God will surely see us through.
Ije & Amanda, We must all remember that this is not the first nor will it be the last time Obasanjo will tempt the Biafrans. MASSOB leaders I am sure will beat Obasanjo in his game. They are just too smart for Obasanjo to trick the way he tricked Ekwueme, Okadigbo and others. There's no cause for alarm my sisters.

Chimpboy:
Goodmorning!
That Nwa Aro is an unstable criminal is an indusputable truism which I had established exactly a year ago. However, what is just coming to light is your moronism(sic). You were the same he-goat that was stopping me when I had your brother Nwa Aro nailed. Listen to yourself:
Today, you are crying blue murder because you have just made a huge discovery that your fellow hard-liner is nothing but a gutter thief who plays with the reputation of anyone that questions his extreme s-h-i-t. When was the last time you saw someone who boasts about his private travels in a public forum while writing with a handle.
You are as guilty as the thief you haboured for so long. You all hailed him when he said he was the spokesman of the Ibos in diaspora during our NLF meeting in Atlanta. Don't tell me he fabricated that one too. Hopefully this will teach all of you a lesson. You don't address someone you hardly know as your friend before strangers. Isioma told me about his war with Ohofia Udemezue. And when I went through the whole thing I read where Ohofia said he only exchanged yahoo and hotmail email with the Nwa Aro handle. Now anybody can make any personality in Yahoo and hotmail. I'm following your spat from last time where you said you tried to reach out to him as a brother only for him to turn round and say he rejected your "friendship".
Nwa Aro will have to work harder to shed and renounce his shitty extremism and hard-line posturing. You don't alter principles as you go along. All that crap about defending the minority is a blatant lie.
You guys need to be careful. The internet is a dangerous place that is why I sang the adulterated Onicha Ugbo folk song.

I see no imaginable reason anyone would quarrel with your little insightful reminder above. If Chiboy's claims against our brother (BTW: we all are) Nwa Aro are true then he should either recount or accept a mistake was made and move on I don't see this as a life or death situation. Maybe in his attempt to aid and prop the fundraising as done in nigeria he fumbled I'm almost sure Nwa Aro regrets any role he might have inadvertently played in giving a different account of events nonetheless, our fight remain the emancipation of our people from the evil clutches of the awusa/yoruba/bini people. Nwa Asaba really put it directly to Chiboy as I'm sure he's regretting his support then to someone he's at daggers drawn now. For any who cares I'm almost sure Chiboy who has demonstrated in the past to move beyond the smokescreen and bitterness would recognize that "Nwa Asaba" is equally a true and blue-blood IGBO so let's not cast aspersions on his Igboness simply because he disagreed with an opinion. It's so little and beneath any civilized soul, very unfair! Nwa Asaba please accept my “Ndo” no doubt Chiboy would render his due apology while I expect Nwa Aro to end this by reaching out to Chiboy and Co. This is not an indictment of Nwa Aro nor is it wisdom but rather a common sense approach in a tense situation.
We should pay close attention to Anaedo’s modus operandi. His exchanges with his comrades in pen to free Igbo are always subdued yet direct and in most cases convincing, please let’s do similarly. Guys we’re ONE! My un-quantifiable thanks to Nwa Asaba for making it easier for me to follow given that I’ve been disappointed with the two gentlemen after I implored restraint which Chiboy ignored however, all is well they say that ends well. Hopefully this is it.

Ndewo, you will understand this place with time. Chiboy is not about to apologize to Nwa Asaba nor is he about to be distracted from the task of flushing out the likes of Nwa Aro before they cause further damage. Nwa Asaba is not new around here and you don't really expect me to respect a coward who says he is Ibo not Igbo just to spite fellow Ndigbo. The fact that Nwa Asaba knows about those yahoo and hotmail exchanges tells you that that some one is begining to panic but name calling and self praise won't cut, there is a bomshell on the way and Nwa Asaba knows it. The quote below is as relevant now as it was when made.
" "Shame on you if you insist on being an errand boy, true Asaba men are made of much sterner stuff."---Chiboy."
I have no regrets with having stood by Nwa Aro, the shame would really have been if I did not stand with a brother who declared his intentions to fight for what any self respecting Igbo man should be seeking. You see Nwa Aro had a lot of opportunities to make amends, but he felt if he continued to repeat the same lies people might begin to believe him. To forestall a situation where we can no more achieve any meaningfull thing here because of false allegations and fraud, we need to put everybody on notice that the records of what you do here and with people you have met here remain indellible. You must always deal with your brethren in a truthfull manner or face the ugly consequences.
I hope no one is mistaking this place for a place where people just come and write articles or say things they don't really mean. Great things have happened to the struggle as a result of the coming of BNW and we should keep it that way. I see this forum as an advocacy platform hence the seriousness some attach to what goes on here. As for judging Ndigbo,my question to you is have you ever called a fellow Igbo an efulefu or sellout ?

Chiboy & Nwa Asaba: Great conbination! I saw it coming. I knew who will come out of his hiding to aid the CROOK called Chiboy. I would like Chiboy to also repost the O-S-U thread so we can hear what he and others said there. It's obvious that Chiboy has been looking for allies. Hence the usage of outcast issue to draw attention. Was it not the same Chiboy who rebuked Odili for asking the Webmaster to erase the O-S-U thread from this board?
Further still, may be the Nwa Asaba guy should tell us what he said about the Aros that made me directly call him an O-S-U. As I have often said, when you start a fight, you dont draw the rules. He (Nwa Asaba) or anyone for that matter can disagree with Nwa Aro as much as they want but should he/they step the bound to tanish the image of the great Aros as a people, he can be sure that I will still call him what I called him or even more. I HAVE NO REGRET NOR APOLOGY FOR THAT.
MeBiafran: I have returned to this USELESS thread because you came here. If it were for the likes of the fellow called Nwa Asaba, I would have let him and Chiboy make their NOISE until they are done. The only reason Nwa Asaba has been against Nwa Aro is simply because I opposed the equally fruadulent so-called NPF jamboree (because the Nwa Asabas where pretending to "speak" for Igbos)Nwa Asaba and co held in Atlanta. Let it be known that I did that at Nigeriaworld messageboard, ie, long before the thread on O-s-u was started (not by Nwa Aro) here. So Nwa Asaba cannot say that it was because of what I said at that thread which made him to REPEATEDLY denigrade the Aros as a people on this board.
ON CHIBOY AND HIS DANCE OF SHAME: May I render Chiboy's LIE in his last mail redunctant by saying that the letter he reposted above was based on what I was made to believe then and not because I sent a "delegation" to the U.S.
Let it also go on record that I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT AGREED AND PRAISED THE SAID 'Emeka's' now FALSE report. Since Chiboy is good at reposting threads, he can do well to repost that thread IN FULL so that you can verify who said what. Infact, the report was made most believable because it was accompanied with a photo showing ojukwu and Uwazuruike cutting a ribbon supposed to indicate that they were opening the said 'Biafran House.' It was after I discovered that all this affair was a grand plan to A) defraud people and B)to deceive GENUINE Biafrans and the world that I started retracing my steps and came on this board to make it known to everyone that we have been cornered.
It was while I was investigating who did what that I zeroed first on 'Amanda' (who was a member of Biafra foundation that innitaited the whole fraud) for making us believe that there was going to be a Biafran House and latter blamed Ohafia (who was also a member of Biafra Foundation) for introducing me to the private yahoo group where the original 'report' that made me believe and concor with what the said 'Emeka' presented on this board. THAT IS STILL THE GRUDGE I HOLD AGAINST OHAFIA TILL DATE.
Despite the face-saving tactic put up by Chiboy, the question still begging for answer is WHEN DID HE (Chiboy) KNOW THAT ALL THIS AFFAIR WAS A FRAUD AND WHAT ROLE DID HE PLAY IN IT? For to the best of my knowledge, Chiboy was a member of Biafra Foundation that innitiated this whole FRAUD. Again for the record, Nwa Aro was NEVER a member of Biafra Foundation or any pro-Biafran group where the idea of building/launching a 'Biafran House' was innitiated.
Finally, if there's any crime Nwa Aro committed, it was that I believed people I wasn't suppose to believe (that includes Chiboy.) On the other hand, the crime I saved is that I SAVED OTHERS FROM FALLING IN SAME TRAP BY FIRST EXPOSING IT HERE AND LATER INSISTING THAT PEOPLE SUBMIT THEIR REAL IDENTITIES BEFORE COLLECTING MONEY FROM PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD. Now guess who quarrelled with that; it was same Chiboy who is now SHAMELESSLY accusing Nwa Aro of being a "419"!
Looking back in retrospect, I thank God that I stayed clear from the Chiboys of this forum very early. So reagarding your come together again plea, I am afraid to let you know that NOTHING AND NOBODY WILL CHANGE MY MIND TO MAKE ME RECONSCILE WITH CHIBOY AND CO. Thanks though for your intervention. Please consider this my last post in this thread and on this issue.

Nwa Aro:
It seems that you have some questions to address:
1) Did you donate any money during any of the fundraisers?; if so,
2) Amanda's report indicates that you did not give any money. So, to whom did you send the money that you are accusing Chiboy of stealing,
3) If your own delegates to "Biafra House" reported the same thing to you that Emeka reported, how do you know that Emeka was not a victim of the same BF tricksters who tricked your private delegation,
4) Where is your proof that Chiboy and Ohafia are members of BF?
5) How do we know that you are not the real crook behind all the BF 419 since it appears that others on this board gave money and you did not. May be you knew something that Chiboy, Emeka, Ohafia, and others did not know.
6) Was that why you held on to your wallet, while other members of BNW were contributing money?
You are the one that looks like a BF member.

My disdain for those of us that still don’t see the awusa/yoruba/bini atrocious behavior towards our Igbo people goes back forty years and this includes so many of the Igbo spoilers. How dare any use BIAFRA to commit fraud? What in the world would propel a man to use our cause to commit such heinous evil by setting up a phony and bogus account with intent to defraud? The perpetrators should count their blessings because had I been a member of the thread at the time I personally would’ve made it a criminal matter. What a nonsensical crooked maneuver. I am sorely disappointed yet again!
Chiboy:

Not exactly but I do use the “efulefu” lavishly as a qualifier on the wicked strangers to our land. However I do understand where you’re coming from the keyword being use of a "derogatory" word on a fellow Igbo of course YES but let me add that unreserved apology always follow when it is necessary with a mellowed temper, as you might have noticed. Anaedo would hopefully bear testament to this. Didn't fall into the trap you set, huh? Lololol.
Nwa Aro,
Trust me I can understand and appreciate the context to which you took your earlier now contentious position even though I wasn’t part of the discussion at the time (not registered then) and I don’t think there’s any biggy. If Nwa Asaba said all he’s accused of I too condemn it in the strongest term there’s neither or should there be any sacred cows as far as our fight goes.
Pse. activate your private mail since I’ve no other way of reaching you.

Good point without the “crook” appellation my brother. Don’t make this hard on me by fanning a dying fire please as you cannot ignore this,

NWA ARO,
Please answer all the questions posed to you by Tagbo or risk being seen as the real CROOK!!

If the answer is a reverberating no he didn't wouldn't it be a plain error in judgment. Wouldn’t failure to donate be misleading that could have accrued out of over zealousness and excitement but hardly a crime? I would rather we direct all inquires to the folks at this Biafra Foundation place to give account of all their activities I am sure the names of the contributors will be included. My people let's take a pause and count to ten. Take a deep, deep breathe ya’ll.
