Rossippi: All you can do is insults? Do you think you have a monopoly of it? I will just not descend to your level of lowlife. You should be ashamed that you are here bragging upon what others did. How many of your own fathers and uncles died fighting that war? Those of us who lost our fathers and uncles for the victory of that war are not bragging about it, rather we are ashamed of it. You are the one who needs to get lost and get out of here... The only people who need to be talking about the war are the descendants of those who fought it. ....Not shameless people like you. |

LegendHero:Tell that to your people under Ilorin Emirate not me. I do not and cannot slave for anyone. I do not hate Yorubas, but I hate the way many of you behave.... For God sake why should a Yoruba person be bragging about the civil war to spite Igbos? How many of you fought that war? 90% of the foot soldiers who fought that war and died were from Benue-Plateau, Gongola, Southern Kaduna e.t.c. How come our own people hardly brag about the war?
Yes I am a bigot and I am proud of it, same way many Yorubas, Hausa fulanis and everyone else are okay? Mighty Yorubas? Who exactly are the mighty Yorubas? The millions of Yorubas in Kwara state who bow to a fulani emir or the ones in Oyo whose forests are being controlled by fulani herdsmen? Or the millions who live under dillapidated brown roof houses without toilets? Or is it the ones in Kogi who are 3rd class citizens to Igalas & Ebiras? Tell your hundreds of thousands of Yoruba people to leave Jos & Kaduna... Then we know you people do not recognize us. How many of my people live in Ibadan, Akure or Ogbomosho? Nonsense! 3 Likes |

LegendHero: Yes, my own single ethnic group is not influential on it's own just like your own Igbomina people are nothing on their own without other Yoruba subtribes, but when you put all Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Nasarawa, Taraba e.t.c ethnic groups together, we are more influential! Answer the question, why are your people living more in our territories than we in yours since we are inconsequential? Go and see entire neighbourhoods in Kaduna & Jos being dominated by Yorubas, and when crisis comes you see these Yoruba muslims shamelessly running helplessly away from their fellow Hausa fulani muslims to meet our people and Igbos for refuge. 2 Likes |

Nowenuse: You mean a combination of all those in bolded are more influential than the Yorubas or what exactly are you talking about. As a Yoruba, I don’t believe in mocking people coz it’s not in our culture. However, how else do you want me to engage you when you made it a duty to always hate on us even when we don’t confront you in any way. Your grievances that the Yorubas are supporting the Fulanis killing people in Jos is ridiculous and it’s just a figment of your imagination. You are not separating politics from ethnicity which explains why you think a tribe is supporting you while the other is against you. I don’t think it will be sane on my own part to start comparing the Yorubas to the North as a whole coz it will just be an exercise in futility. What the Yorubas have achieved as a tribe from 1914 till date will actually take the North longer years to achieve. So I won’t thread the path of comparing us both. 1 Like |
Re: Yakubu Gowon Was The True Hero Of The Civil War by Nowenuse: 6:40pm On Feb 21, 2020 |
LegendHero: And what have you Yorubas achieved apart from Lagos which came to you guys by luck? Same Lagos which the Igbos are now dominating the wealth of the state? Is Ibadan, Oshogbo or Ogbomosho what you people have achieved? We black people are sometimes very stupid that we count the individual achievements of sometimes very corrupt elite families who have robbed us blind as achievements to our ethnic groups. If I point to your homeland to show me the achievements there, what can you show me? The Yahoo boys and runs girls who dominate your economy or what? A community in Ogun where people bathe once in 10 days and wash clothes twice in 6 months just hit frontpage, something you can never find in my area which is drier in climate, yet u are here talking about your people being incomparable to others.... Wake up from your sleep bro, we are all suffering slaves to these chains called Nigeria and that is why I will antagonize anyone who seeks to promote these chains called Nigeria, be it Yoruba, Igbo, Fulani or Bariba! 2 Likes |

LegendHero: If we look at development by landarea, I don't see how better developed your Yoruba land is compared to my people. Abuja belongs to us and with the way Abuja is developing, it will square up Lagos in a short time. ...Abuja even beats Lagos in some aspects already. Lagos economy will crumble immediately Nigeria divides and Igbos/Niger Deltans leave with their entrepreneurship and oil money. Apart from Lagos, what else do you people have? Kaduna, Jos and other cities which are owned by my people are more developed than your other cities. Education wise, you people are only slightly higher than us.... If you think my people and Hausa fulanis have the same educational level, then you must be mentally challenged. We have more minerals, a bigger land territory and a far more beautiful landscape for tourism than you people. You people only have more thieves whom you call Alhajas, Yahoo boys, Egbon e.t.c. You are better than no one, except the Hausa fulanis in Nigeria. 4 Likes |

gidgiddy: The British made a big mistake in amalgamating us? Yes and No. The truth is that without colonialism, it was only a matter of time before the Fulani caliphate overruns Nigeria. We Africans were all conquered people and we had no choice over how we were administered. To worsen what you are saying, Your own Igbo leaders believed in one Nigeria, promoted it and were enjoying domination of certain spheres at certain points in time... Everybody takes the blame. Nobody is a saint... Igbos despised and looked down on everyone else in the past, including Niger deltans and Northern Christians...No one was spared. ... I got firsthand info that Igbos in the north were laughing at northerners and spiting them on their faces over the killings of their leaders... All these and more were what lead to the killings in the north. I do not support all this one bit and I condemn all of it and take shame in the role of my people. However, what I will not take from you Igbos is a feeling of righteousness or Sainthood. Everyone bleeped up at that time and that is why we should all be ashamed of everything that happened. 1 Like |

LegendHero:But Nowenuse is right though, he had your back against the wall with superior and concisely delivered facts.. and you know it. The only reason why that sense of "I better pass you" complex most of you Yorubas hold like a torch and badge of ethnic adulation(warped as it may seem), is simply because of the LAGOS factor and nothing more. The notion that you're the "most influential tribe in Africa" blah blah blah and all these ridiculous recitations and clichés you clowns bandy about is only paper noise, nothing more nothing less. 2 Likes |

We have Spanish man that flow relieve material to Biafra at the time as part of IPOB and we have also the Irish reporter in Ireland In addition election was coming up in England at the time of war and worrying about uprising as the war was dragging too long and either side could win the war UK government then physically stepped up its arm supply to the zoo! if you have doubt go and find out.
