This is the concluding part of Odia Ofeimun's treatise on the Awolowo?Achebe civil war controversy. He makes useful suggestions to his Igbo brothers and sisters as well as other Nigerians on how to dump the self-righteous mentality of 'WE AGAINST THEM".
In conclusion of his trearise,'Awolowo and the Forgtten
Documents of the Civil War',Chief Odia Ofeimun dared
claim that the Biafra Leadership conspired to inflict
genocide upon us Biafrans.That is a plasphemy and a profanity.Chief Odia
Ofeimun is but a quisling of a kind.
His further claim that the children of Biafran elites
were airlifted to Cote d'Ivoire and Gabon to save them
from starvtion is a specious fallacy.Our Biafran
Archieves at Enugu has records of all the kids Gowon had
flown to Ikeja Airport,Lagos from Cote d'Ivoire and
Gabon shortly after the war.They were abandoned and just
dumped there like human refuse by Gowon's governmnt.
Both Cote d'Ivoire and Gabon have their own reords too.
I wish we had An Awo for a leader in Eastern Nigeria
for a start.But then,we could have three Nigerias today
like Tanganyika.
But come to think about it,aren't the Hausa/Fulanis and
their peons,the Boko Haram terrorists not pushing our
moribund nation into disintegration? Was it really worth
it that over 3 million innocent people should be
murdered in cold blood,killed in battles or forced to
starve to death and then gloat over it because it was
done to keep Nigerian one?
There was indeed a country and in that country a heinous
crime against humanity was committed.If the perpetrators
don't pay for their crimes,the children will pay for the
crime of their parents.Up North those whose fathers
were used as tools by the Hausa/Fulanis against us Igbos
are ready paying for the iniquities of their fathers.
