What Major Okafor? The only Maj. Okafor (Donatus) I know never witnessed the war. He was among the coupists of January 15 1966, who was brought out of the Abeokuta prison by angry northern soldiers on July 28 1966 and buried alive, during the mutiny in Abeokuta.

This shows you don't read or maybe you're just trying to provoke readers uneccessarily. Awo's Legacy of socialism is like Awo himself living among the westerners. I am saying this cos i benefited whilst am not a yoruba, Can your Igbo counterparts do same or have they? All they know is the OYO(on your own) syndrome living with what OJUKWU stood for till date, i regard this on the part of Ndigbos as being intellectually,creativly and psychologically weak.

Again speak for your minority tribe only. Thats not too hard for you to understand. You should be worried about the skirmishes between ijaws and itshekiris in your niger delta instead of poking your nose where you dont belong

[s]Haha...ibos believe anything! This man might have sown the seed of another mega defeat for chest beaters who would rather walk into their death trap on a whiff of emotion rather than consult their common sense!

So, don't you have sense to see that while the Yoruba commander defeated thousands of ibos with 179 soldiers and average armament, he had 1,000,000,000,000+ more of strategy to it, took the right decisions in the heat of the moment and defeated the entire BeastaFra expedition! He defended the most critical point of weakness and I can bet you all the retreating soldiers would have been completely annihilated if they continued to assault the bridge.

Take a lesson from that and the battle of the 300 at Thermopylae, at that narrow pass where King Leonidas caused Persian King Xerxes' perhaps 100,000 strong troops to be crushed on their shields and spears! Watch how Leonidas says the strategy was to be funnelled into the narrow pass? There their numbers counted for nothing, their superior weapons counted for nothing and waves and waves of Persian soldiers to be destroyed! That is the stuff military strategists are made of, not empty boasting! Even Colonel Iluyomade provided more leadership, won more territories and destroyed more enemy soldiers than runaway Onujukwu himself, the war monger!

Na wah, so 179 Nigerian soldiers led by another Yoruba Commander Colonel Iluyomade set up base 40 miles away from Ore village, right on the extreme outskirts of Yorubaland and destroyed thousands of enemy soldiers and sent them back running and empty handed in the thick of midnight, under heavy rains! Ibos should be very grateful to Yorubas and they must know it because on that night, the Nigerian soldiers led by this illustrious Yoruba son and commander could have pursued and ensured no ibo escaped and destroyed them all! Kudos to the greatest soldiers and commanders in Nigeria, who still allow the milk of human compassion to flow in their veins when their enemy is at the end of their sword and barrel of their gun.

Even, I would guess that God will look down in kindness on such a people who did not shed the blood of ibo soldiers when they could have! The same thing David could have done to Saul, but he saw beyond the moment and emotion!

God bless the Yorubas indeed and much more forever!!![/s]

knowledgeable:


If you have the guts, demand for your own country and display your tactical abilities for the world to see, not fighting along side some body else all the time. Yorubas are eternally cowards.

GenIgrigi:



**grins** I am a yoruba and i am proud of being CONQURED FOREVER BY DAN FODIO'S CHILDREN. I AM PROUD TO HAVE AN EMIR RULING OVER ME IN MY LAND FOREVER. ALLAHU AKBAR. **LOL**

9jacrip:


You're going down the road of fantasies. No one has the monopoly of violence and to begin chit chat and chest beat over who would win an imaginary war is at best childish.

War is not a new trade to Yoruba, ask the fulani about the Osogbo war and Jalumi war.

Ask Ojukwu about Benjamin Adekunle, Iluyomade, Alabi Isama and the sage awolowo.

Demmzy15:

Alhamdullahi, Yorubas were never conquered. The Nupes who tried it were defeated, no Fulani army invaded our lands! I have created a thread talking more about Islam and its influence in ilorin, the Yorubas became Muslims many years before Uthman bin Foodee(Dan Fodio) was born.

Islam was brought to Yorubas by the 'Songhai Empire' through trade more than 500years ago, during this period some fulanis didn't even know anything about Islam. So go and bath with acid!

I don't want to be tribal because I have many good friends from other tribes who respects values and cultures of others.

*sips on his face*

GMB my hero, FAYEMI my role model and Rochas our next Presido!

vicadex07:


You're the real mumu. Isn't deception part of military tactics. Why then did the foolish biafran soldiers fall for the trick, got defeated and retreated if not that it was skillfully planned and executed.

Military strength isn't always about numbers and brute strength or weapons. You need brilliant commanders and soldiers to execute a perfect plan. Goto the Bible and read up on Gideon and his 300 men

stan4guy6:
Nigeria soldier only ended up killing civilian while Biafra where busy killing Nigeria army Biafra surrendered because our civilian are the one suffering which shows how coward Nigeria's military is.

Oduduwaboy:

Okay . I understand now . But dont forget that one of the greatest war Generals of all time , Alexander the Great died of injuries he sustained at the warfront ! The Igbos can keep canonizing a failed General then if it makes them feel cool . Cheers !

handsometokunbo:



Militarily and politically tactical

While Igbos are beating their Apes chest in the public, Yorubas are quiet somewhere calculating their next move.

ekenedegreat:
Calculating on how to partake on the share of another man's resources(oil) that is why yoruba pple are insisting on one nigeria becos yorubas are nothing without our oil if you doubt me, ask dangote.
Military wise, yorubas are nothing but cowards that cannot and will never fight a war because they will not survive it that is the fact.

superstar1:

Y1bos are too inconsequential and lacks strategy and wisdom for us to be wasting our acquired and inherited war knowledge and strategy, tested and trusted, passed down to us by our forefathers.

Just 129 Spartan-like yorubas, defeated your rag-tag Biafra bandits army.

Bow at your. At your Master's feet, to learn the art of War 101.

FreeGlobe:
I used to think this yoruba slavery is a joke until I saw this. who knows how many more things yorubas have bottled up? Lord have mercy

eliment:
The Yoruba solders were the headache of the Biafran solders during the civil war, we dealt with them so much they were defeated on all front led by Yoruba solders.

It is understandable they hate us so much knowing the Yorubas are more tactical and efficient when it comes to action

EUROBOMBER:
The Biafran soldiers moved towards the West because Lagos was Nigeria's capital and the war was being planned and prosecuted from there. The aim was to capture Lagos from the Northerners and secure the state thereafter launch an offensive up north.

It was not about annexing Lagos or the West like most Yorubas think today.

SirShymexx:
The Yoruba Spartan Colonel Oyinlade Iluyomade vs. Biafran soldiers!

Yoruba warrior!

Just 129 Spartans held the whole of Biafra Bandits and thwarted your dreams till thy Kingdom come.
