What media propaganda? Do you know that ibos are the Goebbelian-propagandists since the advent if Nigeria? Check your history young man! Now I am not attacking any one, history is something that can not be changed. Can even Germany escape their evil past? They still get flak for it so stop this futile victim mentality of saying I am attacking you. How can, when I have more friends who are SE than you? In any case, your answer skirts the question and you damn know it!!

Mr Everest: Thank you my brother, i for one believe in southern unity and solidarity, at least to keep the abokis in check but i must confess that nairaland ethnocentrists are making it difficult, honestly i have nothing against the yorubas, but they should stop picking on Igbos and express mutual love for ourselves. Igbos are not trouble makers, BTW i like your courage, thats some whiff of fresh air!

Real-Mccoy:


Bros, what do you expect when a Oluwole certificate forger whose name is Bola Ahmed Tinubu an ex governor and an ex convict, is parading himself as their leader. Imagine a region where 98 percent of her leaders are ex-convict and wife beaters, they are not fit for leadership position...OBJ,Bode George,Akala and the list goes on......

oladapo_a1: lols! An answer question...go read 2nd world war as a case study...mtcheew

gilgee:

Do you really hate the Yoruba people in reality? I mean, do ya'll have this much hatred for each other in reality?

Why are we all Nigerians then? What are you and your tribe doing in Nigeria? Why not peacefully or forcefully breakaway instead of wasting your time here insulting other tribes?

The reason for Nigeria's failure is truly not far fetched. We are not a nation.

A divided nation is an epitome of a failed experiment! Nigeria has been proven as one by ya'll!

Malawian: There is something yoruba have not told us. You guys said you had no military and that the army in the west were northern soldiers right? Now, are you guys saying that the biafran liberation force led by banjo was side stepping the so called northern soldiers and killing yoruba civilians instead? Who were the soldiers in youruba land then? Northerners or yorubas? Who did the biafrans engage in ore? Northerners or yorubas? You have to tell us why you were against biafrans engaginging norther soldiers who were occupying your region if indeed they were northerners; if they were not northerners and indeed yoruba, tell us why you keep saying you were unarmed and why you were afraid to lead a struggle for your freedom? @ Cyberg, if you asked a question, wait for answer! Dont be running around this thread trying to control the discuss, that only show insecurity, and only cowards are insecure. Now you cowardly yoruba should answer the question i raised as not side step it again or like in cyberg's style, tell me to stay on the topic. One more thing, what were yoruba officers doing in biafran army? Were they held captives or were they there simple to betray?

Remii:


what do you say about ifeajuna, sam agbam and alale that were killed along with banjo for the same offense, were they yorubas too? i am not sure high echelon and enlightened ibos supported biafra, masses where kinda brainwashed by ikemba and elite had to keep quiet to avoid attack.

Desola: Come on! Lay your sentiments aside and see the validity of his question. He asked a very relevant question and you know it except that as an ibo man, you would not admit it because its truth would contradict your song of Awo is a betrayer.

We have asked you on numerous occassions to support your assertions of Awo being a betrayer and coward with solid evidence of an expressed agreement between him and ojukwu that Yorubas would enjoin the ibos in their secession bid but till current, no such proof has been forth coming.

A bulk of assertions made on this forum by the Yorubas with regard to the civil war has been supported with documentary evidence, either from excerpts from books from recognised sources or with internet links for veracity.

Now, the fellow asked a decent and in my opinion, vital question and in shame, you are seeking to avoid it by throwing semantics and your usual emotional blackmail at a simple question.

Surely, you know what it means to be a betrayer and that is why you deem Awolowo one, so why not with your knowledge and expertise at fishing out cowards and betrayers explain to us why your colonel chose a Yoruba man to lead his army against his own people? Do you call Banjo's acceptance as an act of betrayal against his people or is it not betrayal only when it suits the ibo agenda?

I'm just asking.

Dats d spirit ma broda and dnt mind d tribalists.....they are just a few out of many good pple.
Its never wrong to get to knw a person for who he/she irrespective of d tribe. Tnx a lot

o42austino: U want to know why we call Awolowo a coward pls look at the present Nigeria then you will know.if Awolowo did what is expected of him and declare west an independent nation we(Both Igbos and Yorubas) will not be sharing this nation with Boko haram.all you need to be a leader is vision to be able to know what the future will look like from what you are seeing today that is what Ojukwu has that Awolowo and co don't have and No thanks to his coward nature Boko haram are still in this same nation with us.In regards to Banjo,he is a nice officer but he made a careful mistake by asking the force under his wing to pin down when you have all the chance in the world to advance against the enemy and weep then out(the enemy here is not the yorubas but against the Nigeria troops and that cost him the life of his troops and such mistake in military can be seen as betrayal and is the least mistake you can make as commanding officer.

Real-Mccoy:


I salute you sir for your courage. I wish those Myopic internet bigots like the poster can learn some knowledge from you. The poster is as soft as baby sh-it . A supposed "mediator" that was suppose to be non partial in real life,went ahead to call me "phussy" on internet in a comment, just shows that game recognize game...smh

Malawian: Lies can only get so far, when the truth arrives, it will overtake the lies - fact!, you yaribas after the war went into overdrive with all those lies to hide whom you really are. You guys still havent told us the reason behind 20 pounds yet, you guys still havent told us why awolowo was poisonning infant baby formular going to the east, we all saw how you took over all the companies as well as the media houses to propergate your propaganda against igbo. I bet you guys thought your phyric victory will last forever. I have this feeling that the yoruba actually want igbo to appologise to them for Whatever reason. You guys are really amazing, arent you? You should know that we would sooner rub minds with middle beltans than with yoruba. I dont know where you semi illiterates came off thinking you can con the igbo a second time. You have played all your cards already, you guys are the ones to atone to us, not the other way round. We dont need you, we dont care if you need us, we will remain in "your lands" (Hausa-fulani conquered lands?) and milk it dry! Cry us a river! Only yoruba will wrong you and expect you to appologise to them. Where the biafran liberation force led by your son banjo sidestepping the so called northern soldiers and killing yorubas instead? Yes or no!

CyberG:

The height of naked stupidity you are displaying here is beyond pathetic! Why not at least haphazard a guess at the answer to the question instead of veering incorrigibly away from the question! Just FYI, how can any one foolishly declare war on a non-existent premise that a remote land over 1000 KM away, who has no alliance or agreement with you will act against their own interest but your own interest? This is exactly the ridiculous point you are making here but I know you've been listening to too many foolis.h and uninformed opinions of people who were beaten into the ground and lost woefully by that stupi.d declaration of an unwinnable war! So, go back now and answer the question!

remark D: You see, the reason some are just leaving you to wallow in your ignorance is because tribalists usually can't see reason and make sense of it as all they see if what is wrong with others and right with their tribe. You are asking him to answer your question which is already on a false premise, and happens to be the question a poster has been trying to get you to answer on this thread and you are side-stepping it. if you answer that question, then your own question will suddenly be exposed and seen as plain ignorance and st.upidity. The same tactis Katsimoto uses in a more deceitful way as he mixes the "false premise" with half-truths.

Although i know very well you are not looking for answers but trying to prove a point where there is none, for the sake of any gullible minds i will pointit out instead of letting your lies continue going on as it has for so many years that the west of Nigerian writers have been propagating it.

In your deceitful words ... "Why would anyone foolishly declare war on ... people that had no alliance or agreement with you ... "

So you believe the Igbos declared war on the Yorubas? and that was why the BLF was heading to Lagos, to fight the Yorubas (when Gowon was sitting in Lagos and commanding the invasion of Biafra).
Maybe you need to answer your own question. Why would the Igbos declare on the Yorubas when the massacre of civilians was mainly by northerners?

What is the premise of attacking Yorubas?

Why would free passage be asked of the people to be (allegedly, by you) attacked?

List the Yorubas that were attacked and killed if this was you say was declared on the Yorubas was not in your dreams and an attempt by you to justify deceit, treachery, backstabbing and all the evil Awolowo perpetuated.

It is clear and simple to see where, when, how and why the Igbos believe Yorubas are cowards and back-stabbers or sly and cnning.

The yorubas might (and do) see it as hate and causing trouble, but the truth is that Igbos don't hate the Yorubas, but are simply letting them know that .. "we know you now and how you play" ... and will make sure they don't get bit once again.

(It was interesting to see the comment IBB made about a Yoruba planning a coup to unseat him... though its one man's view, but its from their leader and these leaders know themselves, but it seems the Hausas also see the Yorubas as cowards. howcome?

I'm out. for now at least... :S

tunnytox:

You are exactly guilty of what you accused other of doing TRIBALISM, it is normal for diffrent people to see things from the different angle. i don't care and I believe many Yorubas too don't care about what some few bigoted Igbos think about us.

Malawian: so lets ask a neutral arbitter then? Google, anyone? I believe there is already a thread about google search remarks about igbos and yorubas no? I ask again, did banjo kill yoruba civilians? After lying that biafrans were massacring civilians in the midwest, perhaps to explain away yourselves as the knights on the white horse that came and liberated them from biafran yoke, [b]tell us why you refused to liberate yourselves first? [/b]Tell us why you refused to be liberated either! Was banjo killing yoruba civilians or not?

Malawian: @ Tunnytox, thanks for your answer, i suppose half bread is better than none. I am still waiting for cyberg to answer my questions. (1) 20 Pounds: ofcourse i didnt expect an iota of truth from any yoruba mouth as regards the 20 pounds policy. While your hero was robbing our monies blind (while shouting "egbe omo oduduwa" he found a way to balance the books with his 20 pounds policy. Now it is gowon that did 20 pounds and not awolowo, Abi?. (2) Poison: dont you think awo knows all about poisons seeing that he drank the tea of life himself? This is not heresay, google it. There are even U.N reports about that episode. The only person going to hell is the person who refuses to accept his sins and seek atonement for them. (3) Companies: so yoruba turned nigeria owned companies; hitherto dominated by igbos into yoruba owned companies and fully occupied by yorubas? Was this also gowon's policy? Now for the question all of you have been skipping, i ask again, did banjo avoid northern soldiers to be killing fellow yoruba civilians? Yes or no.

tunnytox:

Dude stop making a fool of yourself, you keep using the word liberation, liberation is for those in bondage ok. In 1967, the only set of people who are being massacred are Igbos not Yorubas, practically the war is between Igbos and the north, Yorubas were not under any form of bondage and require not form of liberation.

Real-Mccoy:


Do you think if you repeat lies multiple times it will become truth? Digest the thread above from your fellow Yoruba brother. Stop with the defense mechanism, google is your best friend if you care to use it for your research.The capital of Nigeria during the Biafran vs Nigerian war was Lagos,the rule of engagement in any civil war has always remain the same;he who captures the capital wins the war etc Libya,Iraq and soon to be Syria. why claiming the war is between igbos and the north?That is a form of cowardice,on other threads your people were bragging about black scorpion and how they claimed Biafran armies surrendered to them? Why are people of Edo state not saying Igbos were trying to invade their territory? Don't you know,coming from the east to lagos, you have to go through Benin to reach any south western states? Debate of such is very childish to me, any sane person that wish to seek for truth should do an independent research and stop seeking for Oluwole publicity on NairaLand that is already infested with envious ethnocentric NURTW thugs.

sheyguy: I can see some mischevious folks here have decided to derail the thread with silly questions . . . Well , in the face of all distraction tactics employed to avoid the real question being answered, i hereby declare the brilliant Question by CyberG 'unanswarable' and therefore O'j is found guilty of gross betrayal and cowardise. . . Lol . . . I dey joke sha, but CyberG really needs this seemingly simple question answered. Make unu give am answer na . . .
