onomeasike: if you read the history of the Yorubas,you will know they are naturally gifted in the art of war.They even had their own civil war before the Nigerian civil war!they constitute the greatest number of Africans recruited by britian for the first world war(see BURMA BOY by Philip Barnaby of Aljazeera.Clearly,they are more war-tested than their southern neighbours.It is not an accident that even the biafran forces that made the greatest impact in the biafran war was led by a Yorubaman .Clearly,that it took the Yoruba stopping him was not an accident.A northerner would never had matched the sophistry of Banjo!! Thank you my brother for your thoughtful and objective analysis. You see, the Yoruba are historically naturally not inclined to fighting any other ethnic/tribal group. It is not in their character to gang-up and fight other tribes. But the truth is, the Yoruba are very formidable when it comes to war! War is not just about brawn and noise making. You need the right approach, brain, strategy etc. 1 Like |

There is no such thing as south, its going to be from nigeria to N,S,E,W and others in there, we are not going to share the same country with ibos or ijaws if nigeria divides, we have nothing in common. manbuchai: Why do we keep running around thesame issue every time,it is now clear that the northerners are our problem.We southerners have now realized that we can not make progress if we continue to share thesame country with the mallams up north.They contribute nothing to Nigerias economy,.we do not share thesame culture,tradition,belief and social life.We must devise a means to detach from those folks up north. |

veraponpo: I beg to differ. let us objectively examine the evnts of 66-70. (1) Massive corruption and looting by the Balewa government (2) Nzeogwu, heavily influenced by a lot of revolutions going on at that time (especially the successful cuban revolution) coupled with the American civil rights movements became disillusioned with the state of affairs in Nigeria. (3) He started the revolution, but it back-fired with many Ibo leaders not being killed unlike those of other tribes(i.e Balewa, Okotie-Eboh, Akintola, Bello etc). (4) The north planned their revenge and got it. But it didn't end there. It snowballed into ethnic cleansing and genocide. Mind you, not one single Ibo was killed in the south-west. (5) Based on the killings,the Ibos re-considered their membership of the union and decided to walk- which is by any standard logical. (6) Awo, instead of either joining the secession or re-negotiating the terms of our union, decided to join Yakubu's bandwagon. ( By the way Yakubu's people are being slaughtered the way he connived in slaughtering Ibos in '66). Even though Ojukwu was a spoilt brat who didn't listen to advice and was a tad bit selfish in his hasty decision to secede, I still think Awo should have done better. He would have saved us maitatsine, Jos crisis, zango-kataf, Boko-Haram and millions of lives that have been lost to the war that has been going on since 1966 (In case you didn't know, we are still at war). 3 Likes |

veraponpo: You are pathetic, which economy control do you have maybe you mean control of poverty? The picture below shows the best you guys can do. The list of Igbo rich people are uncountable, we don't believe in few rich people and rest 99% living in poverty just like is being seen today in yorubaland. Ibeto Emeka Offor Pokobros Innocent Chukwuma (first Indeginous vehicle manufacturer) Ukachukwu Cosmos Maduka – Coscharis Group Ifeanyi Ubah – Capital oil and gas Chisco Group Genesis Group Dan Dollars Group- owner of mega 5 star Rockview Hotel Abuja These are self made Igbo millionaires and not some Yoruba criminals In my town Uga in Anambra state, you will see individuals single handedly building Churches, town hall, rural roads, scholarship and over all development of the place. But in your own case you will never ever hear that the so called rich people in yorooba land developing their people and place. With all the crook money otedola made he has not been able to sink a bore hole in his community, what manner of wealth is that? You guys are worst than pathetic. if your state capitals are this backward and looks stone-age, how will your rural areas look like? Tufiakwa 5 Likes

Temper Justice with Mercy. If Yorubas wants to move ahead as a people, they must denounce Awolowo, Abiola, Tinubu et al. It is very sad that a tribe will hold such crooks in high esteeem. I heard awolowo was even extremely greedy that he went on to drink cups upon cups of Lipton not knowing that the Lipton has long been exchanged for otapiapia by the 6th cup.

aryzgreat: Bros how old are you? Lagos was the Capital of Nigeria during the war, so you expect the seat of government to sit by and be attacked? In the process of the Biafrans heading to Lagos which was most likely to take over power they would have over run yoruba towns and no one was gonna sit by and watch that happen. You people should stop your blind hatred for other tribes. If you take this sort of attitude into a war with 1billion soldiers, 1million soldiers will defeat you.

Whatever they say about Jaganba of Africa is sentiment and anger. The only state functioning in Nigeria today is Lagos, because of the legacy laid by Asiwaju there is no one in Nigeria that can match Tinubu’s achievement all of you that criticise him are mediocrities .Ondo state for example has potential to compete with Lagos in term of infrastructure and economy development. Mimiko has not use the so much wealth and potentials to attract any investor to the state. No single foreign direct investment and public private partnership, all we can see is inducing individual and group with cash to speak on his behalf over 400 million spent on declaration day economic wise this money can create job for 10,000 people not to talk of more than 500billion subvention excluding loan and internal generated revenue. No single industries function in the state. The state that has the second largest deposit of bitumen in the world Iroko is not expose to attract investor to tap huge resource available in the state . Ondo state has the largest level of unemployment in Nigeria. Akeredolu is on rescue mission. Mimiko is doing all these within is exposure and capacity not capable of delivery 21st century dividend of democracy. AKETI has travelled far and wide and has all it takes to transform the state within a short period of timeif given opportunity. |

U sound as if u don't have d basic knowledge that d yorubas are puppets in d hands of abokis. Awo was a zombi to them so they used him. Igbo fought as a result of marginalization onomeasike: the ibos wont just put the blame and loss they suffered during the biafra war in the right quarters.clearly,many of them have not learnt any lesson.Would you do as Ojukwu (who was reportedly killed by AIDS) did in and expect to win a war?It is only a foolishman that will do the same thing in the same but expect a different result.The average igboman,even okonkwo character of the things fall apart fame,is more of brawn than brain.War is first fought in the brain,the strategy and humility to disarm ur enemy without his knowing and element of surprise is beyond the ability of average igbomen.If I am igbo,i will rather have the more matured ,beautiful and submissive igbowomen lead a war.These crop of igbos on nairaland are typical empty vessels of the igbos. |

My Fellow "BIAFRANS" Revisiting the history, genocide on our people,educating our people,what ever your buisness in life,you should write up a plan for yourself implement it,and later conduct assessment of your position and decide whether or not you are making progress according to the plan,or whether you are going backwards. Iron and Clay can neva permanently stick harmoniously together no matter the homogeneous process employed. The North and Southwest can only claim a tie to fight the Igbos. Soon the war will be between them. Then we will find out who will betray who.....Igbos will soon be spectators.IKEMBA OJUKWU [/b]the Nostrademus of [b]AFRICA, is still speaking from rest. 1 Like |

Onlytruth The 3rd Marine co was handed over and COMMANDED (for show of unity by the rest of Nigeria against Biafra) by the Yoruba sons, just to command. Nothing more. @^^ That's the absolute truth. Fani-Kayode is trying to be smart and not being clever. There are many living witnesses to the invading soldiers. Adekunle was not in charge of Midwest sector as such. I wonder why he'll spoil his original line of thought about the "subterfuge" of the north against the West only to subvert the "truth" with a bare faced lie about the make up of soldiers in the Midwest sector. Was there really a "war" in Ore or the Western flank as such? Banjo only tried to "negotiate" because Biafra(Ojukwu's) instruction then was that the West is not an enemy nor to be perceived as a conquered territory hence they stopped at Ore instead of driving straight to Lagos. Believe me there was never a serious resistance on the way to Lagos as such because Nigeria was taken unawares on that day(NIGHT). Never mind Propagandists/revisionists who know nothing about the actual events. Why would Banjo be negotiating for a safe passage if not to demonstrate the good faith of the Biafrans that they came in peace and respect not as conquistadors/occupiers. I'll rather people focus their attention on preparing for internal strength/cohesion in our backyard than dwelling on finger pointing over spilt milk. History rewards the researcher and those who know how to interpret events correctly. Sincerely, Awo is not the problem as such. He was a mere victim of the circumstance. There were others who aided the decisions of the said period. "Elites" everywhere can be very deceitful and damaging to their own people and the Nigerian variant are absolutely despicable indeed. Fani-Kayode is only trying to be relevant and ever present in our consciousness by his almost frequent/intermittent "outbursts" just like the "delinquent" Dokubo of the South South. Nigeria is a theatre where everybody is basically an "actor/ess" trying too hard to make a mark on our "dumb" false consciousness because there is nothing actually happening in Nigeria other than "Thiefry" and Lies [/b]and [b]violence. Everybody is trying to rip-off the other even on "factual" historical matters too. We are definitely in a sorry state as a people. The sad thing is most so called Nigerians are not discerning enough to analyse/see through things without sentiments because we are self absorbed in our ethnocentric(tribe) consciousness 24/7 to the detriment of "good" education or knowledge of things as they are around us. The West as at that period did not possess enough indigenous(Yoruba) soldiers as to be able to push the Biafrans back across the Niger. The West under Gowon was like an occupied territory by Nigerian(northern) troops. The reality must have dawned on Awo and he is certainly not a dumb politician like Fani-Kayode is implying by saying that he was sold a dummy(President) by the North. It is military regime we are talking about with absolute power and an Awo or any "bloody" civilian is nothing but an accessory for their mission/goal of " keeping Nigeria One is a task that must be Done". Awo or any other civilian then do not have any leverage whatsoever. Trust me on that . Igbos should not focus on him too much. 2 Likes |

Ibos just can't stay in their well-developed and thriving region. They hate us so much (much more than the aboki who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of them before the civil war) yet the ibos can't stay away from our region or the north.
