aguiyi: You will not accept what the white man says, yet you imbibed his ideas and his culture (which are basically a set of ideas) , and now practice it as if it was originally yours... by the way, engage in a real discussion and stop asking infantile questions. 2 Likes |

This is how Alaafin of Oyo sold out and pacified his kingsmen for 200 bags of cowries.

aguiyi: You are a big ffool Mr. I have made my position about your desired secession from Nigeria clear. I don't give two ffucks about you or your people. You are not adding any value to me personally nor to Nigeria as a collective, IMHO. The Oil you keep blabbing about belongs to the South South peoples for the most part and the SE contribution is negligible (at best) -- at least it's not enough to raise you lot out of poverty. Your SE is a depressing locale to inhabit as is evident in the way you all escape from that hell-hole at the slightest opportunity. You talk about my "forbearers were cowards for having a worthless cause". That aptly describes the entire Biafra enterprise. A pipe-dream that resulted in the slaughter of an estimated 3million Igbos, who ended up losing the war, and your Ojukwu had to leave you all to your fate by absconding to the Ivory Coast (puts the 'C' in coward). My people refused to be duped into a war we weren't prepared to fight -- that was SMART -- while you all sacrificed yourselves over a WORTHLESS CAUSE. I call it worthless coz (1)it failed, (2)it failed (for emphasis) ![]() 8 Likes |

aguiyi: Okay, since you choose to show your maturity , back to your questions... What exactly is a "struggle".... A struggle is dictated by the prevailing conditions of the time. If the conditions change, needs follow suit, and if needs change, the definition of a "struggle" will undergo a proportional and almost instant metamorphosis .... Are you following? The struggle of the Yoruba in Today's Nigeria is not the same as the struggle of the 1800's or 19'00s ..... that should be obvious. So unless you are talking about something else, I believe i have adequately nourished your hunger for answers..... if at all it is genuine. 1 Like |

scholes0: I agree with the bolded but it is the same yoruba gene that is doing the struggle and the only thing it is good at is taking bribes to betray. From your alaafin in 1888 to today's turncoat SW pdp, passing through awolowo, the obas against Abiola, etc, etc. 1 Like |

AlfaSeltzer: Alaafin as paramount ruler of his people represented them by cutting a deal with the Brits, to spare them from an unnecessary war and further needless loss of lives. You call that cowardly, I call that PRAGMATIC LEADERSHIP/WISDOM! ATLEAST HE WAS FORTHRIGHT AND HONOURABLE ENOUGH TO KNOW WHEN TO STOP FIGHTING! Ojukwu RAN AWAY!!!! He didn't even negotiate a peaceful end to the suffering of his helpless people, whom he duped into a NEEDLESS and WORTHLESS war! In the end nothing was achieved that couldn't have been achieved via negotiations. Think about it -- those 3-million souls could be alive today and living productive lives.

aguiyi: Did you read my rebuttal at all? Aims change, Goals change, and targets change as well..... Once upon a time, USA southern states were fighting for secession, today they are almost all fully integrated in the USA, except for a few 0.5 percenters here and there..... Once upon a time, Maasai were the dominating culture of Southern Kenya, Today, they are fighting for cultural preservation.... hundreds of examples out there. So unless you come out explicit and explain what exactly you are trying to get at, I will not be able to give you the reply you might need. And what fear are you talking about exactly? 4 Likes |

OduaVanguard: Pragmatic wisdom to you guys is surrendering without firing a single bullet as soon you saw Hausa soldiers. Governor Carter was not the man to leave his work half done. The refractory and irreconcilable Ijebus had been subjeugated; the Egbas had submitted and their apologies accepted. He now proceeded to the further interior to put an end to the protracted war, fraught with so much evil to the country. The measure adopted for this purpose was the only one capable of dispersing suchfierce combatants, viz., an armed intervention advocated for by the writer all through these wearisome years. Although it might not be necessary to pull a trigger, yet a display of force offered a far more convincing weight of argument than volumes of treaties, faultless though these may be in aim and purpose. The presence of the Governor himself gave additional weight and importance to the Mission. Governor Carter left Lagos on the 3rd January 1893, for his tour. He was accompanied by a posse of Hausa soldiers, with Captain Bower, one of the officers who came out for the Ijebu war. The Maxim gun was en evidence throughout the whole way. |
