Spartans had 300, we have 129, Though you were few in number, but you were a battalion at heart, They came in one way, you scattered them in seven ways, You turned their nights into day and day into night, Eclipsing their souls forever, vanquishing their spirits eternally, sending the invaders to the Hades and abyss of no return. Against all odds, you demonstrated courage and wisdom, You showed us the power of brain over brawn, The advantage of wisdom over strength, The superiority of effective number over numerical strength, The effect of quick strategic thinking over chest beating. How can 129 ''Spartans-like soldiers'' wipe out a garrison? How can 129 ''Spartan-like soldiers'' ensure the capitulation of a whole Division of invaders of our serenity? How can 129 ''Spartan-like soldiers'' ensure confusion and scampering of a Battalion of bandits and marauders? Indeed, those that were with the Spartans in their imaginary forms, are more than the invading marauders. The Defenders of the western region, The lions of the Ore jungle that consumed every pretender calling himself somebody, when he is nobody, The Sun that deems all pretending ''rising sun'', The Oodua machines that recalibrate all malfunctioning compasses, The Questioners and Thwarters of fake secession dreams. We celebrate you and we say thank you for defending us and our canaanland, that flows with milk and honey, with your lives. You are not forgotten our heroes, our own dear 129 ''Spartans''. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Let's be honest: a war between Yorubas and Igbos would be so one-sided that the whole of Igboland might end getting destroyed the same way the Romans destroyed Carthage. But I noticed Yorubas, throughout history, don't go to the extreme after defeating an opponent in a war. They just defeat them - and leave them running for their lives. Yorubas have fought so many wars. Unlike Igbos who throughout history only engaged in mgba akpukpa village wrestling in the village square, while wearing wrappers and wooly hat in the sun. Experience is the key here. Igbos are no match, regardless of the noise they pollute cyberspace with. They might win a shouting match with tears and ultimatums - but not a real war that requires experience and cerebral tactical approach. 20 Likes 1 Share |

SirShymexx: Yorubas leave a conquered territory once they agree to be paying a stipulated amount as royalty and they also pledge allegiance to the political Headquarter in Oyo and Spiritual Temple in Ile-Ife and the Military Garrison of Ibadan. They will also agree to embrace yoruba culture, tradition and language. With those terms in place and adhered to, that settlements can be rest assured of peace. If attacked by any outsider, it shall be seen as an attack on the whole yorubas. That was the NATO arrangement of then. Any act of disobedience or reneging on pledges, always lead to obliteration of such settlements and annihilation of its people. The baribas and nupes, some tribes in present day Benin Republic and Togo are classical examples. 5 Likes |

superstar1: Lol. I don't even think Igboland is rich enough to pay royalties once the Oduduwa warriors conquer them. ![]() Isn't that the same parasitic region that takes more than it contributes to the national purse? That's a very poor region that's of no use. They can have the place for free, we don't need royalties, unless you want all of them to die of hunger. ![]() 5 Likes |

SirShymexx:wad up, shymexx. I see you're going in kinda hard right now. ![]() Two main questions for you, 1) why not just abate the Biafra land, unless this is domination? The only inconvenience that seemingly comes with the decision is drawing a small demarcation from Nigeria, a small new but meaningful line on world maps. 2) how do you think the biafra war would have played out if not for foreign involvement? 1 Like |

SirShymexx: The fact remains that Yoruba can never engage in a modern war unless it is a goofy wrestling match. However if the war mistakenly breaks out, Yoruba will do what they do best, just capitulate. I suggest you use the energy spent on daydreaming about Yoruba in war on something very tangible. 1 Like |

Lmfaoooo Biafra captured Ore lol and most of the space between it and Lagos. It was a combine effort from all regions against 1 tribe (igbo) that pushed biafra back to benin (which colonized the yoruba for 300 years). Imagine if biafra was just igbo v yoruba lol 2 Likes |

Ikengawo:Battle of Ore was fought mainly by Yorubas, Yorubas led both sides. Keep deluding yourself, they didn't enter Ondo State. They were sent back, Victor Banjo a yoruba man in the biafran who knew the war was fruitless, redrew his forces. He was later killed by Ojukwu! Benin never colonised yoruba land, Infact Yorubas colonised Benin. One of the sons of oduduwa was made the ruler of Benin, so Yorubas can still claim Benin! ![]() 5 Likes |
