Ironsi/fajuyi East-west Commemoration: Will This Event Bring Back The Love? by ofai: 12:08am On Nov 26, 2017 |
http://www.tribuneonlineng.com/celebrating-ironsi-fajuyi-open-new-vista-igbo-yoruba-relationship-afenifere-ohanaeze-ndigbo/ The celebration tagged, “Handshake across the Niger,” organised by a Think-tank group, Nzoko Umunna, under the auspices of Afenifere and Ohanaeze Ndigbo, to hold January 11, in Enugu, is expected to witness the biggest gathering ever of Igbo and Yoruba. The planning committee for the event headed by Mr Yinka Odumakin, Senator Chris Anyanwun and Biodun Sowunmi, said this at a press conference it addressed in Lagos, describing both Ironsi and Fajuyi as gallant officers that deserved to be celebrated, having demonstrated a bond that passeth all understanding which still lived years after they had died Speaking on behalf of the committee, Odumakin, while recalling how both Ironsi and Fajuyi were killed by the coupists, said it was “difficult to celebrate one without mentioning the other as they became one inseparable spirit in their last hours on earth.” According to him, dignitaries expected at the event include governors, prominent Nigerians, traditional rulers, among others. “The event will hold under the joint chairmanship of former Chief of General Staff, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe and the Olu of Ido-Ani, Oba (General) Olufemi Olutoye. “The chairman of Southern Governors’ Forum and Lagos State governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode; Chairman of South -East Governors’ Forum and Ebonyi State governor, Chief David Umahi; Abia State governor, Chief Okezei Ikpeazu and the Ekiti State governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, are special guests of honour expected on the occasion. “The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi and the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, will be royal fathers of the day. “The leader of Afenifere, Chief R. F. Fasoranti and President- General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John Nwodo, will receive guests in the Coal City. We look forward to a big celebration of friendship, harmony and inter-ethnic understanding in Enugu, on January 11, Odumakin said. Noting that the wrong narratives over the years had been the defining points of Igbo-Yoruba relationship while playing to the background this finest moment of the uncommon bond, Odumakin said it was now a new day as the best of Yoruba and Igbo gathered to celebrate Ironsi and Fajuyi as well as construct the East-West bridge of understanding. It will be recalled that Ironsi was in Ibadan as guest of Fajuyi to address natural rulers which he already did when the coupists stormed the Government House, Ibadan, arrested the duo, took them to a village near Lalupon, killed and buried them in a shallow grave.[color=#006600][/color] Mynd44 OAM4J |

I doubt all these people listed will be there. This is just marketing gimmick. What is unique about Ironsi/Fajuyi murder in July66 that made the murders of Jan66 forgettable? |

There has never been love between both ethnic group. Afenifere don't speak for Yoruba people. Today, they are inconsequential in Yoruba people affairs. As a Yoruba man, I don't support any handshake with Ebowls. They are no friend to Yoruba people. Ebowls wish us evil all the time. They are terrible beings. Afenifere don't speak for me and my family. Foolish bastards claiming they represent Yoruba people. 5 Likes |

Ko ni da fun Odumakin yi. Gbogbo ebi e loka shofo ku ni. The fool keep disgracing us everywhere and trying to force unity down our throat because he married an Ebowl lady. Who forced you to marry her? Se mi ni mo fi e sinu wahala ni? This foolish old man should stop disgracing the great Yoruba race. We are better than this. Yoruba people have been existing for thousands of years now. And there was not single historical ties between us and them. If not because of white men, we won't know they exist till now. As far as I am concerned, we share nothing in common. We don't look alike. Nigeria itself was created by the whites. So what is all this fuss about southern unity? Men fucckk southern unity. We have Yoruba people in Benin republic and Togo that we should more concerned about. This is why I like Hausa people. The Won't allow any colonial boundary hinder the love for each other. I stayed in Benin republic for a few months so I know how Hausa behave towards themselves and the love they have for each other; regardless of the country they hail from. The question i normally ask myself is: why can't Yoruba people do same? 6 Likes |

I am not threatened by the effort because I am a yoruba man with many Igbo friends.I only replied your fellow Igbo man who commented as If yorubas are the one begging for friendship and started talking ill of my race.To show you are not an hypocrite,I will expect you to condemn him first and condemn him not to die on yoruba and lagos matter first. |
