You see how ignorant a lot you are. Tribalism debases any man whtheer ibo hausa or yoruba tribalism makes you less intellient and an agent of falsehood and evil Look into Nigeria recorsd look into the date of Awolowos release you will be in no doubt that its was Ojukwu as the governor of the east that release him fro calabar prison Read Awo/s book for the time of his release. But you are are so damaged that fact mean nothing to you. Nigerians are full of lies Huasas wrongly believed the 1966 coup was an ibo coup and other ignorants belived that too. Yet False. Some ibos believe that Awolowo hates ibos that too is false yet some ignorant other belive that too. False that is The fact that it was Ojukwu and ibo that foiled the coup in the north is a fact that tribalism doesnt allow others to KNOW. Ojukwu as the MIlitary Governor of the East released Awolowo from calabar prison Awolowo repaid in kind by campaigning for Ojukwu's pardon from exile. These facts lie in record yet Nigerians tribalists they are done want such info becuase it doesnt feed tribal hate |

afam4eva This is probably the only cogent reason why Awolowo could have resisted the temptation for fighting for the independence of the Yoruba race. @^^ Why would he want to fight for so called independence without consulting the people? Awo was not the only prominent "Yoruba" and I doubt if he had the mandate from "Omo Odua" to launch out or engage in such enterprise. There was never any pressing need to do so anyway, whatever the Igbo or the rest of Nigerians may think/"wish". Self interest/preservation counts a lot. The(Yoruba) decision to remain in Nigeria is actually far more economically rewarding then and now than wanting out especially for the "elite" ![]() ![]() |

T9ksy At that particular moment in question, the yorubas (both the "elite" & the "commoners" have only 2 @^^ Bros, Pls forget about simplistic propaganda that was peddled by self serving idiots/propagandists who know nothing about "war" or military operations. Why do you believe that the South West(Yorubaland) will become a so called conquered territory of BLF? Was there such an intention in the first place? If there was such an intention, the story of the military operation in the South West will be different never mind the later day propagandists. BLF had the advantage of surprise which counts a lot in war but chose to exercise restraint and caution under Banjo to see how far dialogue/reason or change of heart will prevail. The problem some persons have with Awo is that most people forget that nothing was actually agreed let alone written/signed between Awo and Ojukwu. Everything, was as usual the "African way" no signed/written agreement concluded but everything was assumed to be agreed on orally. With that kind of wishy-washy belief of agreement, would you blame an Awo or anybody for changing their mind against secession given the [b]actual occupation [/b]of Yorubaland by fierce looking and hostile "Nigeria" when he realised the enormity of the enterprise. Nothing have changed since then everywhere in the South of Nigeria till this day ![]() ![]() |

cheikh: T9ksy This is exactly what we have been saying, yorubas and the minorities willingly joined nigerian forces to team up against biafra,there is nothing wrong with that, but what irks us is when they start printing lies alledging the phantom biafra invasion of the mid west and the march to ore,as their reason for teaming up against biafra, or when they try to sell the propaganda that yorubaland was under siege by the northern soldiers,now that is an insult to our intelligence. |

cheikh: T9ksy What became of the mid-west region after been "liberated" by Ojukwu's BLF? So why should yorubaland be any different. Never mind the contents of the letter Ojukwu wrote to Banjo. cheikh: T9ksy If the ibos were niave enough to [b]presumed that the yorubas will go on a suicide run just because the ibos are now been persecuted by their former bed-mate, then that's their bloody problem. pazienza: @ bolded, Phantom(BLF) ke ![]() ![]() |

Do the Yoruba not have the right to do what is right for their own survival? They do not have to justify their actions to anybody anyway if you really believe in "live and let live". Printing lies, propaganda and etc as you put it, is definitely an attribute of "warfare" ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |
