Great Yoruba warriors kicking igborilla arses out of PH and sending that coward Ojukwu bolting to CIV in women's clothing. It's always hilarious when one reads these offspring of tree-dwelling, buttnaked backward savages calling the offspring of great warriors that built one of the biggest empires in West Africa cowards. Lolz. Everyone with a brain knows who the true cowards are in Nigeria.
Yet they lost kwara to fulanis.



Making noise over war Britain fought to kill their property called Nigeria together.

Yet, some eeeediotic sons of nobody are claiming the Yorubas are cowards grin
PH was recaptured the same way their madness was ended at Ore.
You need the Holy Spirit to understand the igbos’ warped thinking process. Today, the Ojukwu that fled the war is a war hero while the Yorubas who showed them shege are cowards grin grin

They won the war against their fellow country men but can't win the war against insurgents and terrorists taking over their communities and displacing their citizens.

They had cornered it before the war. See ikwerre land was already occupied before the war. All they needed then to own any land they desired in Ikwerre land was to travel to Enugu. A document would be issued to that effect Viola! The land belongs to the Igbo person and it didn't matter if crops were on the land. The Igbo person would just walk up to you and serve you papers to quit.

Why write such broad faced lie against Ndigbo. Igbos have never believed in annexation or allocation. Even though Ikwerre is part of Igboland somebody from Owerri cannot lay claim to land belonging to Ikwerre even though they live side by side. Ikwerre man cannot lay claim to land belonging to Etche even though they're both Igbos living side by side. It is only Yorubas who lay claim to Lagos oppressing the real Lagos natives.

Fajuyi died a hero still honored in Military Parlance till today for refusing to hand over his boss an Ibo Man to the Coup plotters have being rounded up in Ibadan he put up a great fight and he eventually succumbed to the cold arms of death before Ironsi was whisked away by Danjuma and Muritala's Men ...
You better honor his bravery he was dedicated even to the point of death ....
You people are fond of twisting history but the Sophisticated Yorubas are fully prepared..

Continue una go collect both online and offline ....
Point of correction northerners never over ran the west ..... Nigerian Army was stationed already in Lagos and Ibadan even before independence ...stop this lies

That's the story of consolation Westerners like to tell themselves, that Fajuyi was killed because he wouldn't leave Ironsi's side. The Northerners didn't have to kill Fajuyi, they could have just detained Fajuyi and done whatever to Ironsi

Fajuyi was killed because Northerners knew that Yoruba would do nothing. Ogundipe who should been head of state was chased away because Northerners knew that Yorubas would do nothing

The Western Region had already been overrun and taken over by Northerners long before Ojukwu came to Ore

Oga show us evidence that igbos did this in Ikwerre land. I dare you, if you cannot bring evidence God will punish you with these lies. That is the biggest lie ever told. The igbos properties in PH were not even confiiscated by Ikwerre it was Ijaw and Ogoni people courtesy of Saro Wiwa. I dare you to show me proof that igbos would walk up to you and ask you to quit. If you cannot may God punish you and your families with these lies. Was Enugu not the capital of Eastern region? The regional office for lands where you get the land permits was it situated in PH? Was it not Enugu? Stop all these lies abeg.
They were land issues I know for sure not just ph even in Calabar ...The Ikwerre elders know all this ... immediately they notice an encroachment by Ibos which was then called Ibo domination they remaned all their lands sharing similarities with Imo state and Abia state to Rumukoro Rupokwu .,Rumuibekwe inorder to distinguish them from Ibos and automatically declare themselves non Ibos this still available till today...
They were also rumors that many Ikwerre young men who refused to fight the war were buried alive in Imo state .....
War is ruthless and cruel anything can happen ....
They want to use the minority to fight while they lead from behind ....I heard all this from an elder in Ph....
The minorities were so weak and naive ....ibo character is known to have an attempt to dominate and even take possession of other people's lands in ....Such is demonstrated even in Lagos were they call Lagos no man's land ....
A small lady was telling me before the last election that they would take over Lagos even without any legitimate powers now imagine when they have authority in a place like Enugu the kind of influence they would wield ..

Which annexation is worst than saying that Ikwerre is part of Igbo land? If ikwerre was part of Igbo land why did your forebears run from Ikwerre land during the war?

What was Ojukwu looking for in Ore ....Giving commands from Enugu to a Yoruba man to take over Lagos isn't that cowardice he should have led the army himself and that was the only successful campaign because Banjo occupied the Midwest but the reason he couldn't cross ore angered Ojukwu ... No Ibo commander mase such degree of progress saving Colonel Achikwe who carried out an assault leading.to the death of 5000 soldiers on Onitsha bridge but he was reported to be shooting his own men in front of others to create fear .Ojukwu end up garrison soldiers to protect himself from being captured and changing command post from Enugu to okigwe then to Owerri only to run away after wasting so many men in the war front ......Yet he's called a war hero by Ibos ......

The Civil war was won with the help of the British, so you guys should stop acting as Heroes. It was the Igbo led eastern region versus the British aided Nigerian army. The odds where unfavorable to the eastern region from the jump. That is why they were called rebels.....The war end in a No Victory, No Vanquished note. But despite everything, The Igbos are still a threat today. What a strange Ethnic group of people

@bolded confirms my point and belief. With what you just said, I’m sure you would agree with me that it’s only an idiot that goes into a war where all odds are against him.
Secondly, your argument is a blatant lie because many countries also supported Biafra during the war. The notable ones being France and Israel. I think Russia was also with Biafra at the time. Mr linus, make your research before embarrassing your generation online

Some of what you said are correct others aren't. Igbos led by Ojukwu undermined the interest of Britain in Nigeria. They never envisaged that Britain had Nigeria as an entrusted personal estate.
France aided Biafra with medical and food aids I doubt weapons were inclusive. Russia was out to make money and only aided the side ready to pay which was Nigeria. Israel aided both sides.

Thank you but they (Biafra) got external supports too? That’s exactly my point and full stop.
I don’t want to see that false narrative again. The narrative that Biafra was fighting heavily supported Nigerian troops should not be aired again. It was a case of two-fighting and both sides suffered casualties and got external supports. The igbos need to grow up and stop this victim mentality already, it’s nauseating.

Nigeria fought civil war but became world's poverty capital

At least something good came out of the American civil war, nothing good came out the Nigerian civil war

It was indeed a liberation.

Sunset in Biafra - I have been hearing about that book. I will surely buy it whenever I see it. It should be more objective and credible than Chinua Achebe's 'There was a Country'

Oya show us evidence from the 40s till 1966 where igbos did it.

You people make me laugh.
Prior to the civil war, the Nigerian side had a standing army, a navy and an air force. The Biafran side had none.
All the 200+ tribes in Nigeria combined to fight 1 tribe, and you guys dey jubilate 🤣🤣🤣
When war was declared, the Biafran side was able to mobilize and train men, setup logistics and even do R & D DURING THE WAR!
Just imagine that. Research is something that is done during peacetime and applied during wars but they did theirs in the heat of the battle.
The Nigerian side was supported by more than 9 countries including Russia and Great Britain while the Biafran side was supported by the Vatican (mostly with aid) and a few other smaller countries while France aided bịafra with medicine and food.

They held the Nigerian side for 3 good years and decimated the better-equiped Nigerian forces.

In the end, fearing imminent defeat, the Nigerian side setup a blockade to prevent food aid from being brought into the Biafran side.
This is the tactics you people are celebrating; killing women and children by starvation because you're too chicken to face their men in battle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
