But why are we Nigerians sometimes so lazily susceptible to lies, untruths and rumors?
1. Herbert Macaulay was born in Nov 1864 and died in May 1946, and so "died young" at age 81? Haba!
2. Lord Lugard was born in January 1858 and died in April 1945 - at age 87 - and came back from the dead one year later to invite HM to a dinner in Kaduna, whereupon HM was poisoned "young" by the British? Haba! (In fact, Lord Lugard had stopped being Governor of Northern Nigeria in 1913, and of the whole Nigeria in 1918.)
We should be less prone to easily-disputed untruths.
All accounts relate that HM died naturally from a malaria attack while on extensive political campaign in the North...any conspiracy theory would involve the living Zik - Macaulay"s successor at NCNC - and not the resurrected Lord Lugsrd.
Maybe Chukwuemeka Nzeogwu killed Adaka Boro at the war front? Inquiring minds want to know?
And there you have it

If Southern Nigeria, especially Igbo and Yoruba can work together without suspicion or antagonism, you'll be surprised how developed our country will be. Thanks for your email below. I was of the view that Herbert Macaulay died of natural cause - heart attack. However, in the back of my mind, I wonder why he could die so young (this is not to say heart attack doesn't happen to young people). Now, it seems to me that Herbert Macaulay got the Abiola treatment.Vin Cool Breeze Otuonye

Boro was killed by the British Government by Northern proxy. The north will do anything to win the support of the British. Herbert Macaulay's death also was the night after he had a dinner with lord Lugard at the latter special invitation in Kaduna. This is also on Wikipedia , if it hasn't been taken down.Ayodabo Esuola

--It was a never a secret that Adekunle killed Isaac Boro. Only those occupied with mischief making will deny this obvious fact.
Sent from my iPhoneEjo ni Mushin - PrinceIsaac Jasper Boro was born to a Kaiama family in present day Bayelsa State of Nigeria, in 1938 and died in mysterious circumstances on May 16, 1968 while fighting to unite Nigeria. .."".....According to Obasanjo on page 47 of [1], Boro's one-thousand Rivers men were "hurriedly and poorly trained with little or nothing in the way of training facilities and resources". His group was then attached to the 3 Marine Commando Division (then 3 Marine) under the command of Col. Benjamin Adekunle. Adekunle's post-war political ambition was captured aptly by Obasanjo in his book "My Command" thus:"Col. Adekunle, at this point saw the war not only in terms of crushing a rebellion, but also as a means of building himself up for any future political position or responsibility which he might wish to seek, I knew of people of Western State origin who had felt politically victimized and who saw in Col. Adekunle a saviour and told him so, and he believed them."Is it possible that Adekunle planned the events that led to Boro's death as a scheme to take all the credits of the successes of the division at the time and permanently disconnect Boro's relationship with Federal headquarters?...."Sent from my iPhone

Making every conceivable innuendos to separate the South East and South-south --eventually to the detriment of both-- is like trying to separate the Hausa, the Fulani, and the Kanuri. It simply won't work.You can keep wasting your time --Okoroala, Omubo, Ayotollah, Imperial, Kassim, Afithief, etc-- but the East is back on track.Colly Ezebuihe.

His fear, Igbos would colonize the SS and take over the oil therein, is baseless and an expression the loss of SS oil, by his people would render his people, Hausa and Fulani, economically impotent.Someone should educate that Aboki that Biafra is a name for the SSSE zones.

Biafia: 'Its a plot by Igbo to colonise South South'

Monday, January 4, 2016
By Abdulsalam MuhammadKANO – Leader of the defunct Arewa Peoples Congress (APC), Alhaji Sagir Ringim has said that the current agitation by the Indigenous People of Biafra as a ploy to colonise the South South.Sagir Ringim, who holds the traditional title of Waziri Ringim told Vanguard in an exclusive chat the agitation by the Kanu led IPOBA was a calculated effort to seize the economic prospects of the minority ethnic nationality in the oil rich region."Those Indigenous People of Biafra have a hidden agenda to recolonize the South-south , capture the region, colonise the oil field for the betterment of the Igbos" Waziri Ringim said.The front line IBB boy said that Biafra is landlocked and wasn't blessed with solid minerals apart from coal, added that the geology of the enclave can't support an independent country.The former Intelligent officer of the Nigerian Army explained that "because of these natural shortcomings Igbos survived as a diaspora race than any dominant group in Nigeria".Ringim retorted that "if the Indigenous People of Biafra are now saying that yes we want to have Biafra what are you going to do with more than three quarter of the Igbos who are outside the East, those in Kano, those in Lagos what are you going to do with then? You take all those people then go back to Biafra? They have no houses to live, they have no means of livelihood."He said that the economic prowess of the Igbos domiciled outside Biafra, stressing that it was sheer fantasy for them to dream of ceasation under these jaundice background.Waziri Ringim dismissed IPOB activities as orchestrated blackmail to arm twist other stakeholders in the polity for more economic advantage.He therfore called on well meaning Igbo leaders to apply caution in the pursuit of selfish ambition so as not cause general damages to pexisting arrangements.
