...what can i say?

After spending hours on research about the Genocide that occured in Biafra land between 1967-1970, i was in so much anger, the Obi you know before was changed internally, and questions upon questions were coming out from my mouth (aloud)....asking and asking, but no one to answer me....my late dad told me about the war, about how he lost his brothers (my uncles) and all the war stories, but i just took it as one of the 007's movies......but didnt go and research on it, maybe my dad didnt want to tell me with so much indepth so that i wont grow hatred with my felow "nigerians".....? maybe and maybe not?

This post might actually make no sense to you, but i choose to write about it, because this is my own space on the internet....and 'you cant take it away from me'...................enough of jokes now, but after sleepless nights of research, i still cant help it, but ask these questions:

Why is Britain so Wicked and Heartless?

Why is Russia happy about violence? (what do they stand to gain?)

Why does Col. Adekunle (aka BLACK SCORPION) have to make that statement?

Why was a big country such as Nigeria be left to inexperienced and naive Gen. Gowon?

What is Awolowo's gain in the war? (excuse his intelligence)

Why did Nigerians HATE Igbo people?

Why do they feel proud killing helpless Bifrans?

After 1 million massacred, why rape our young ladies?

Why can there never be an Igbo President?

Why all these hatred?

WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?

Life is mysterious. Some questions have no answers.
If only we can abide the principle - live & let live.

@lurlar ....you are most definitely right..thanks for stopping by

@fatoumatta.... i couldnt find the answers myself as well

@aijay ..... who will live and who will not....that principle will definitely work, but who will practice it?

I was about typing the exact same thing lurlar wrote but lemme break it down a little:

Who is Britain & Russia? A leader and a few people may have been wicked, heartless and happy bout violence but there are still transformed hearts out there.

Nobody made the decision to hand Nigeria to Gowon and these days leaders are judged by performance not first impressions. Afterall we've had so-called "experienced" leaders that did us no good.

Biafrans weren't exactly standing by and being cut down. It was a war and as in every war, people get killed and the stronger power wins.

Rape is a product of depraved minds. Its a by-product of the war and I don't put it beyond the biafran soldiers either given the opportunity

There will be an Igbo president sooner or later. Give it time.
