Are you naturally slow? Read my post again and take your time to understand everything I posted! Biafrans SUCCESSFULLY captured Ore and held it for weeks after driving out the Federal forces defending the town (pure fact from all documented accounts you can find even on the internet database), capturing a position and retreating afterwards are two totally different situations in battle, and I CLEARLY gave reasons why such scenarios played out in the battle of Ore and the Midwest ... if you even had any iota of comprehensive and cognitive abilities to read and understand, you would have seen in my post where I STATED that the Biafrans were in complete control of Ore and other axis like Okitipupa (once again these are facts you are research for yourself, materials on the civil war are easily accessible online from various credible sources)... Biafran troops only began to retreat from Ore and other positions in the West cause the whole operation which was predicated on speed and surprise tactics was completely lost after the commander of the Midwest operation Colonel Victor Banjo, decided to sabotage the whole operation for personal interests - Banjo all along was in communication with Lagos, and had no interest in capturing Lagos in the first place (which was Ojukwu's objective for invading the Midwest ab initio).... So in essence, Biafrans were ordered to retreat back to Benin instead of staying put and fight..

I don't like to argue pointlessly, if you want me to educate you with substantial materials( books, articles, interviews etc), then say so and I'll gladly indulge you... I don't want to waste myself arguing blindly.

Can yorubas defeat any tribe in nigeria.
I mean the minority tribes.





But Amotekuns no get shame to brag about war by entire nigerian(backed by british) against Easterners.


If the war was against Amotekuns,within two weeks,there will be no coward remaining.

proudevil:
They will read and never comments because its doesn't fit their narrative.

Yujin:

When will my people be sensitive enough to easily identify their enemies are trying to deflect attention from the main problem? The OP is hausa/fulani who's trying to create a battle between Igbos and Yorubas. Isn't it obvious enough? Nna ehn! Ike gwuru.

Afonja and noise, why not take a picture of the rusting armored tank and show us? If you ever picked up a book about the war and read( besides regurgitating the same rubbish war tales you heard from idiots who didn't even participate in the fighting), you would have known that Biafran soldiers successfully captured Ore, Okitipupa, and were just few miles from crossing the ofosu Bridge which was later blown up by the retreating Federal troops... thus delaying the Biafran advance beyond Ondo axis. But most significantly, Victor Banjo was the main reason the Biafran advance lost momentum, Ojukwu's biggest mistake in that war was giving command of a very important operation in the Midwest to a yoruba man to capture Lagos... that's like giving command of a legion of demons to the Devil to destroy hell fire - plain daft and Illogical expectations, maybe Ojukwu trusted Banjo too much, but surely he should have known better... Victor Banjo ordered a complete halt of all Biafran units in Ore, and by then the momentum of speed and surprise which the Biafrans used to their advantage was now totally lost, it wasn't long after that the Biafrans began to retreat from Ore back to Benin and consequently across the Midwest back to the East after they had lost the will to keep pushing and fight.

So the Biafran failures in Ore wasn't down to some military genius by the cowardly yoruba/Nigerian soldiers who actually lost Ore and fled, it was simply a classic case of treason within the Biafran high command in the Midwest, willfully masterminded by a Yoruba officer with collaboration from some anti-Ojukwu enthusiasts like Sam Alale and Ifeajuna in sabotaging the whole operation in the Midwest and Western region. And that was why Ojukwu had Victor Banjo and his collaborators summarily executed for their treachery.

This meant that their next target was the West. So I was told by then Colonel Olusegun Obasanjo, who was the Commander in Ibadan, to move to Ore border, which is about 19 miles to Ore village. Then, I moved there that night but I told Obasanjo that I was ill-equipped to curtail the Biafran attack. What can 33 soldiers do? So, he promised to reinforce and he did keep to his promise. Then, our total strength grew to 179 soldiers to defend the place.

I had premonition of danger and when I got to Ore, I deployed my troops towards the Western region. The bridge at Ofosu was the boundary, so I went ahead to survey the area to know the mountainous and forested areas. And I deployed my troops, so if there would be an attack on the West, they would have to cross the bridge. So I safeguarded the bridge and gave my troops instruction not to allow anybody cross over. By that time, there was an instruction that I shouldn’t allow anybody into the West.

After deployment of troops, I rose up from my trench at about 12 midnight, it started to rain heavily, but I told the troops not to leave their trenches. So, we dug in. Then, when I saw the skyline of the vehicles of the Biafran soldiers coming towards us, I shouted that no one should fire except me. And the battle started minutes past midnight. But the bridge was so heavy that they could not penetrate. If they had known that we had a small number, maybe they could have made the effort to penetrate. So we confused them, the place was well secured and we never lost any soldier.

Remarkably, the Northerners went to Ibadan and slaughtered the Governor of the Western Region, Lt Col Fajuyi. Yourubas could not do anything

The Northerners then moved to Lagos and chased away the Yoruba man who should have been the next president, Brigadier Ogundipe. Yorubas could do nothing

The Northerners the brought a much junior Gowon to rule from Lagos. Yorubas could do nothing

The Northerners held Yorubas captive in the own land. But when Ojukwu charged a Yoruba man called Banjo to go and liberate Yorubas, the same Yorubas were fighting Banjos forces in Ore

Yorubas fought to be loyal slaves to Gowon and his fellow Northerners and are even proud of this

Olugbanko:
there is no iota of truth in your gibberish Mr! if anything,you only succeeded in displaying your crass ignorance and ineptitude as regards the war. for the records,I'm a full blooded ikale man and I can say authoritatively that Biafra warlords have no imprint in ikale land,talk more okitipupa. I just hope the books with distorted facts which you're banking on to spew outright falsehood won't lead you into historical oblivion. in your submission here,you're on one hand claiming that Nigerian troops lost the fight in ore and on the other hand claiming that biafra troops retreated from ore to Benin. do you retreat while winning or haven won a war? can you imagine how stupid you are?
let me restate that one of your armoured tanks is rusting away along the road leading to agbabu. you may want to reclaim your lost possession... oponu!

T9ksy:




And which book did you read that informed you that ojukwu's rag-tag soldiers actually took Ore before retreating? And moreover, like someone posited, how do you retreat from a battle-field that you are already winning? Also, which one of your ydiotic elders did you hear this platitudes from? And you swallowed the illogical statement, hook line and stinker without engaging your cognitive cells?

At any rate, Colonel Oyinlade Iluyomade, a retired veteran of the civil war clearly stated how he led 179 soldiers to stop biafran troops at the Ofosu bridge.
