Default Re: ABURI: The "Sovereign National Cnference" that got away



It would be nice if Max would see the following rather than being carried away by how clever or intelligent Ojukwu is/was

The debaters threw off formality and addressed each other by their first names: "Emeka", "Bolaji", "Jack" (nickname of Lt-Colonel Gowon) were thrown around as if addressing each other in at a social gathering. One of Ojukwu’s secretaries was amazed to observe that “the meeting went on in a most friendly and cordial atmosphere which made us, the non-military advisers, develop a genuine respect and admiration for the military men and their sense of comradeship. The meeting continued so smoothly and ended so successfully…..that I for one, was convinced that among themselves, the military had their own methods
........................
Commodore Wey slammed the point home rather forcefully when he declared that "Candidly if there had ever been a time in my life when I thought somebody had hurt me sufficiently for me to wish to kill him it was when one of these fellows [politicians] opened his mouth too wide".

”.
A pack of opportunistic jackals, representative of the mindset of the pure colonial army who in their haste to fill the boots of their departed colonial overlords felt then and still feel now that they were better than the "bloody civilians"
A conference held by murderous soldiers to reconcile themselves after killing their comrades...... So they could rule for themselves.
What would we call that? Rulership of zombie by zombie for zombie?

How can anyone imagine these murderous band of drunkards could by any stretch of the imagination represent the citizens of any country? They certainly don't represent me.


Thats how I see this, it doesn't come close to what people calling for a SNC has in mind.
