In my place in the east... A lot of yorubas do bizness, tailoring, selling food, medicine, bizness centeters ND wholesale foodstuff... Never for once did you see any chief or politician Com to take over their shops or lock it up for 2years ND allow tins they sell to spoil so that they can b wrecked

Fashola did it at Lagos Island Market, did it at ladipo, tinubu did his at mandillas, at trade fair complex and mny more.............. Yet if they dislike Tinubu, u will hate them..... Charge ur tax, they will pay u, stop wrecking thier bizness in name of tribal attack............ Nyorubas shld leave Igbos alone

Use ur presidency ND govt positions u boast of getting more than everyone to help urself.. Igbos sell chargers ND cassette, yes, but leave them alone,, stopp burning their markets ND claiming mysterious fires

how can you be defending and invading at the same time? Does it make sense to you. Ore was already captured b4 the nigerian forces reinforced n chased the biafran troops out

Invading is different from capturing. By the way you didn't answer the questions I asked. Read my quote again.

The destruction of biafra came because Ojukwu "overdo", he should have remain in the Eastern region not him advancing towards the Midwest, that was his undoing, he was myopic and mentally unstable to think Gowon will allow such, Ojukwu want to take over Lagos for obvious reasons, greed. he waste 3 million people for his own selfish interest, he cut food supply to the Eastern region, leaving people to die of hunger
... And he cowardly Ran away to Cote d'Ivoire grin grin grin

Why wouldn't Biafra attack mid-western region when Escravos was not only training depot of 3MCDO but the launching pad of the sea operation against Ubani (Bonny) in eastern region or Biafra? The mid-western region provided the men and materials for seaward offensive against Biafra from July 6 -26, 1967. In addition, the so-called military governor of mid-western region had on August 3, 1967 made radio announcement that mid-western region and himself are solidly behind Gowon and the actions against eastern region or Biafra.

Then why are you crying over yorubas attacking you lol

Lol, Igbo man preaching hate and love to me.

Based on your analysis, then why do you guys hate all Yorubas because you thought Awo masterminded the defeat of Biafra?

Why do you guys blame all the Northerners because of the sins of few elite?

You can try to say Zik wasn’t Igbo, but WE will never forget he is Igbo and will continue to lecture you guys on why we are here and let you know Zik was the genesis.

I never said I hated Igbos, hate itself is a strong word and it depend on premises. I am just here telling you guys to stop pushing the victim mentality everytime.

Nnamdi Kanu is mentally deranged so I don’t care about his opinion tho. Wasn’t he the one who first called for the extermination of Yorubas during the start of his crusade?
the Igbo race is too proud, blessed,big and prosperous to bother themselves with Yoruba opinion of Igbo

A simple Google search will spare you of these ignorance

Sometimes I wonder how God created some nigerians . The way you people believe every lie that comes out of from every mouth is awesome and amazing. Instead of you to say that the biafran troops invaded ore, you decided to use the word" capture". To capture ore means that biafra went to ore, dethroned whatever leadership that was there, used the people as slaves, minned their resources illegally and declared it part of biafra. But the world knows that nothing of that sort happened. Even the indigens of ore can't tell you that such a thing happened in history. The biafran soldiers invaded ore to fight troops. They did not capture ore

we don't hate or fear the loudmouth Benjamin adenkunle.
We ended his military career when he tried his larger than life operation oau,the simultaneous capture of owerri aba and umuahia.with his 3rd marine commando division.
Major shande was to capture aba,col etuk was to capture owerri while Navy Capt makanjuola was to capture oguta and make for uli airstrip.

Fast forward to action,shande died in aba,col etuk entered owerri while makanjuola was sinked in oguta before they could disembark.
Ojukwu later gave col ogbugo kalu"your role in the loss of port Harcourt is still fresh in the minds of the people,vanquish the enemy from obinze in 48 hours or tender your resignation.
Then all Oru assembled,you won't understand,don't bother anyway.
Ogbugo kalu, Lambert iheanacho,col Joe achuzie all came together,out of 40000 man 3rd marine men,700 with col etuk escaped as a bad guy he is.
It was the end of the loudmouth Benjamin adenkunle military career, Gowon dismissed him and replaced him with obasanjo.
Murtala military career was ended by col Joe achuzie after abagana disaster.
We knew what we did to the invaders,we ain't playing any victims.
If the Yoruba hate us we understand because the 3rd marine men are mostly Yoruba division,most of them died in ohuba,umuagwo,obinze, owerri.

Because Benjamin adenkunle had the support of the ijaws and the British on the coast,he bragged about capturing the hinterland in two weeks but he ended up ending his military career in two weeks.

It should be "even the Igbo military coup plotters - not even the Igbos do not seem........."

LegendHero:


Brother the man is mentally deranged. Anybody that says the coupist wanted to install Awolowo is mad.

Let me bring you back in time and I want you to judge this yourself whether the coupist wanted to install a Yoruba man Awolowo as their motive.

-Awolowo was jailed in 1963

- When the coupist struck, they made no provision to rescue Awolowo from prison. At least they should secure their main man first if that was their plan, or don't you think so?

-In October 1965 (2 month before Jan coup), Azikwe traveled to London on the claim that he was going for a medical treatment of an unknown illness. I have the video with me where he was departing and all the federal minister and Sir Balewa were at the airport to bid him goodbye. The video source is Reuters 1965.

- Before Azikwe left, he handed over to Senate President Nwafor Orizu as acting president. After Jan 1966 coup where other tribe leaders were murdered, Orizu after briefing zik on phone announced in a broadcast that his cabinet will voluntarily transfer power to the armed forces. Then he invited Ironsi to take over government.
The first image is the copy of the gazette where he invited Ironsi.

-Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi then made his own broadcast, accepting the "invitation". The gazette is also attached.

-After the coup. Azikwe flew back from Britain to the country in Feb 25, 1966 after his "Said" Illness has been treated. At this time, his other colleagues were already murdered and Ironsi is already Head of State. A coincidence that he came back just 7-8 weeks after the coup? I also have the video evidence with me.

- The Igbos made sure they are in position to get power irrespective of the coup outcome. If it succeeded, Ironsi take over, If it partially succeeded, Orizu take over in interim until Azikwe arrives. No matter how you spin it, it will still be the Igbos.

Even the Igbos do not deem it fit to release Awo from Prison until Gowon did. I also attach a gazette of Gowon ordering that.

I intentionally wrote it like that.

However the below is your own statement long ago. You called it a Northern led counter coup. Why can’t I call it the Igbo led one in my own statement too?

Uchek:
Today marks 47 year anniversary of Northern-led bloody counter coup which enthroned Northern domination of Nigeria through the military. But this domination was not cemented until collapse of Biafra - the only southern resistance to the counter-coup.

oh you know there was a Yoruba by name banjo.
Why will banjo bring war to yorubas?
He was simply heading to dodan barracks.
After the north used the western region,they smartly moved the capital to abuja, North.
You guys think you are wise.
The north have always been the problem yet the Yoruba prefer to see Igbo as problem.
When the East left,the Yoruba would have negotiated a better Nigeria before supporting the north,but not the yorubas, just make awolowo a finance minister,he will be on your side,a man who wanted to be a prime minister.
What a tribe

Just make Azikiwe a useless ceremonial president and watch him sell his entire family for 1 naira, yeye evil tribe, bunch of stone eaters....aje okuta ma momi
