sarrki:After Ojukwu declared Biafra, Nigerian government led forces comprising both Hausa-Fulanis, Yorubas, Kanuris, Bororos, Nupes, Idomas, Josites, etc, etc attacked Biafra land from Calabar side, and from Benue side to enter Enugu, while Biafra attacked Nigeria from Benin down to Lagos to capture the seat of power so that Gowon can relocate the Nigerian government to Kaduna and possibly declare seize fire and allow Biafra to go. But Yoruba man entrusted with leading Biafran army to capture Lagos decided to stop the advancement of the soldiers because of his love for his people which to me isn't bad cos Ojukwu ought not to have put him in that front. Ojukwu executed him after Banjo's batallion narrated how Banjo and Ojukwu's in-law tried to sabotage Ojukwu and Biafra, Ojukwu had no other option but to execute Banjo and his own relative (Ojukwu's relative) for sabotaging Biafran military effort. Such sabotage in military attracts immediate execution even during the world war 2. Not today that Hausa-Fulani soldiers are sabotaging Nigerian military effort to flush out Boko Haram and still get promoted for sabotaging national military efforts ![]() I like Banjo, its unfortunate he ended that way ![]() 10 Likes |

sarrki: Treason is treason. Sadly, that’s the military life. Babagida ordered the killing of Mamman Vatsa after the latter’s involvement in a coup plot. Guess who was Mamman Vatsa’s bestman during his wedding? Babagida. Despite the pleas and intervention of Professors Achebe, JP Clarke and Soyinka and the international literary community, he was killed. Despite the plea from Vatsa’s wife, he was killed. Sadly, once again, if Banjo acted in a treasonous manner or against orders, he faces the penalty. From all accounts of the civil war/ Biafran Genocide, he disobeyed direct orders to advance on the mid-Western front. That attracts the death penalty. Friend or no friend. I once asked a military friend, “what if your CO asks you to shoot your best friend, would you?” He said he would. It’s an order. That’s the military life once you sign up to it. I’m sure Banjo understood. He is military. Seems like his civilian daughter doesn’t get it. 7 Likes |

THE PROBLEM WITH EDO PEOPLE TODAY WAS CAUSED BY YOUR FATHER DECISION TO HOLD BIAFRA TROOPS AT STAND-STILL IN EDO RATHER THAN ADVANCE TO LAGOS. THAT GAVE NIGERIA AN ADVANTAGE TO GAIN GROUNDS AND INTERCEPT BIAFRA TROOPS AT ORE. HAD HE NOT STOPPED AT EDO, BIAFRA TROOPS WOULD HAVE ARRIVED LAGOS BEFORE NIGERIA TROOPS SET OFF. 4 Likes |

To know more on this kindly read the account Major Ademulegun why we struck. You will understand who is a betrayal was. Both Ojukwu and Victor Adebanjo are betrayal. But Ojuckwu takes betraying bussines to his own people when he abandone them and flew to Ghana leaving millions to die and sold off as a slave. But Banjo is a true son of Yoruba, do everything hummanly possuble not to kill his own people. Excuting Banjo is the end of Biafra struggle. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Read this account: ANOTHER SIDE OF OUR HISTORY. The youths need to know !!!. Most especially igbos brothers in South West Nigeria. Let us go down memory lane Someone said "Fulani is Yoruba's number one enemy and that the British handed over Nigeria to them." *This is not the truth.* The British did not hand over Nigeria to the Fulani. Parliamentary elections were held in Nigeria on 12 December 1959. The result was a hung parliament with no clear majority to form a government. Zik's National Council of Nigeria and Cameroons (NCNC), came first with 2,594,577 votes to get 81 seats. Awolowo's Action Group (AG), came second with 1,992,364 votes to get 73 seats. However, the Ahmadu Bello's Northern People's Congress (NPC), came a distant third with 1,922,179 votes to get 134 of the 312 seats in the House of Representatives despite getting less public votes. The above three major political parties in the election did not get enough number of the seats to form a government. An alliance had to be formed to determine who would rule. It was a no brainer that Zik's NCNC and Awolowo's Action Group should make a coalition government as they came first and second respectively. Awolowo, then humbled himself and volunteered to be a Deputy Prime Minister or Finance Minister in a coalition government with Zik as the Prime Minister. This was because the Zik's NCNC party had more public votes and seats than the Awolowo's Action Group. Zik invited Awolowo’s team to Asaba, the gateway between the Yoruba's Western Region and the Igbo's Eastern Region to hold coalition talks. The talks were a clever ruse to keep Action Group’s hopes high, so that Action Group would be kept distracted from meeting with other minor parties for talks, including: Northern Elements Progressive Union with 8 seats; Mobolaje Grand Alliance with 6 seats; Igala Union with 4 seats; Independents Candidates with 4 seats; Igbira Tribal Union with 4 seats and the Niger Delta Congress with 1 seat. Whilst the Action Group team was waiting in Asaba for a meeting with the NCNC, they read in the news that Zik and the NCNC had gone up North and clinched the deal with Ahmadu Bello on forming a coalition government with the NPC. Tafawa Balewa, a Fulani, would be the Prime Minister of Nigeria while Zik would be the figure head Governor-General. Even Nkrumah of Ghana was shocked. He asked Zik why having spent so much energy fighting for colonial emancipation and then settling for a toothless bulldog role when Nigeria needed him the most. Zik wrote in his autobiography why he did not form a coalition government with Awolowo. In 1947, with over £13,500 raised from the Yoruba people and given to the NCNC, Zik had led other six prominent NCNC delegates to London to protest the “obnoxious laws” of Governor Arthur Richards. The trip ended in failure with backbiting, abuses and accusation of theft against Zik. Zik’s opponents at the NCNC, accused him of squandering the money and the trust of Nigerians. Zik replied insinuating that the Yoruba on the team, that are: Mrs. Fumilayo Ransome-Kuti, Prince Adeleke Adedoyin, and Dr. A. B. Olorunnimbe, were the problem. There erupted a heated and prolonged press war between Zik’s Political Reminiscence in his West African Pilot and H.O. Davies’ Political Panorama in the Daily Service. This led to Igbo in Lagos rushing to buy machetes in large numbers thinking a tribal war was imminent. The Governor and his General Secretary, Hugh Foot, quickly called Zik and H.O. Davies to order at the Government House. Zik went away with the resolve that “the Yoruba must not be allowed to rule over others in Nigeria”. And afterwards in the Daily Service published the speech of Zik in 1949 about Igbo being destined by God to conquer and rule over others. This among others, will explain why Zik rejected Awolowo's offer of a coalition government in 1959 and instead worked with the Fulani. The Fulani had been reading Zik and the Igbo through the lens of his 1949 speech ever since. The Fulani way of neutralising Zik when the opportunity came in 1959 was to offer him a powerless post, which surprisingly Zik and the NCNC dutifully accepted in place of being Nigeria’s first Prime Minister. Zik had thought that the Igbo can easily manipulate the Fulani in place of the educated Yoruba. He thus manipulated Balewa to arrest Awolowo in 1962 and to have him jailed for 10 years in 1963. Zik also manipulated Balewa to remove from the Western Region the Edo, Urhobo, Itsekiri and Western Ijaw that account for 70% of the oil wealth in Nigeria and created for them the Mid-West Region. Zik's hatred for the Yoruba gave the Fulani the impetus to rule over others in Nigeria. The Igbo coup plotters tried to undo Zik's mistake in 1966. And unfortunately, they killed other tribes and left theirs, which resulted in the civil war. Britain did not really hand over Nigeria to the Fulani. Nigeria was given over to the Fulani by the Igbo. However, to hold on to power in Nigeria, the Fulani enlisted the backing of the self-serving career politicians in England. Not many Igbo especially the young ones know this narrative. I don’t think the Yorubas, even their elders remember this. Has the leopard changed its spots? Yoruba Ronu!!!! Good day . Barrister RFJ. ***Copied You can’t change the hand of the clock Ojukwu is a traitor So are his descendants Nigeria would have been better if there was no 1966 Coup or if the Coup was not bloody. Why did we kill ourselves? Power can change hands without blood. Buhari became Head of State without shedding blood. I'm not IBB fan but his Coup was bloodless and I commend him for not killing GMB and Idiagbon. I must confess, we were celebrating my sister's birthday in April 1990 when we heard of Orka's Coup, the jubilation became double, and people were trooping in with emergency gifts for her..... But shortly after we heard about the killing of IBB ADC and others and the guy started dividing the country on radio, people were sad. Why killing others to get power? 90% of bloody coups in Nigeria failed!!! We can play politics of power without shedding blood, those who introduced blood to our politics will account for their wickedness on the day of judgment![/quote] 7 Likes 3 Shares |
