Running away from this topic: IGBO PEOPLE ^ Marijuana

Fajuyi was truly a man of honour. Why? Because he insisted on what he believed was right: not just because the intended beneficiary was Igbo. From accounts of events on his very last day on earth, is certain he would have done same for a Hausa, or a Nupe or Ibibio..He could have been able to negotiate his own safety by giving up Ironsi immediately IF HE WANTED [/b]but he didn't! He might have lived with a sense of betrayal if he did otherwise. He was in [b]ALL SENSE, his brother's keeper.

It is very sad that in today's Nigeria, you may never find a single person with the traits of sacrifice and loyalty displayed by Fajuyi . Rather, lies, treachery, blackmail & deceit has become the norm within and between members of ethnic groups.

For Madam Eunice Fajuyi who was widowed for nearly 50years,I guess she still managed to live a life of fulfillment as attested by the reports of her funeral. Indeed no honour is too great to be done to the Fajuyis, nothwithsatnding the ethnic hatred ochestrated by political jobbers.

Adekunle and Eunice made enormous sacrifices for Nigeria's unity. Sadly as at today, national unity look even more distant than it were in 1966

king arizona: Blame it on Gen YAKUBU GOWON

Why? Gowon wasn't the Head of State.

king arizona: Blame it on Gen YAKUBU GOWON

and what does he have to do with this, when the leader Gen Danjuma is one of the richest men in Africa without nobody asking him question. even blessed with oilfield.

i neva hear dis b4 sa, i tink say na all yoruba b backstabber, cowards, betrayal etc so some1 died because of d ibos. Lets wake up na, because ade is a coward dos nt mean tunde is a betrayal na, likewise, because chukuwma is a 419 dos nt chinadu too is a thief. Let us preach love nd peace. R.I.P FAJUYI.

Na ur papa get nairaland

Lt.-Col. Adekunle Francis Fajuyi wasn't the only Yoruba officer killed during the crises of 1966/7, Col. Victor Banjo was also killed along side Ifeajuna and Agbam by Ojukwu over a phantom coup.

Sharap dia before sango And amadioha fire that ur mouth dia idiot....d guy u quoted said notin but d truth....can igbo man even die for his brother if need be ? When container is on highsea ? Talkless of a yoruba hero who died for his nation Ɲǿț just d yoruba people alone....so guy sharap ok

Lincoln Has a Memorial in Yankee! I think Washingthon too has a momunment, MKO Abiola has a Remembrance Day (June 12). I think the Colonel was a real brave one at that.. Ekiti can Immortalise him for their Generations to come so appreciate the valour that came from their hood. Provided it doesn't disturb the entire Nigerian Calender.

fajuyi didnt lay his life for ironsi.they were both arrested and taken away.
igbo people should not b3 acknowledging him as a pro igbo.if given another opportunity he will shun ironsis visit.

who is he? google is too far from me,

BTW, has anyone of you viewers seen this video?

the real story of nigeria starting from the year 1900

odua boy: A yoruba laid down his life for an ibo man but an ibo man can never do that for his own ibo brother example ojukwu fleeing the civil war.

Tell me exactly how he laid down his life for an igbo man

Are u the only one on nl that doesnt know odua boy is yet to write jamb? so don't be offended with silly comments, the rest are igbo and yoruba thugs fighting for dead men and men who don't know they exist!
Meanwhile I have attended an igbo yoruba wedding twice and stil expecting p-sq nd omotayo
The rich and educated ones are busy,minding their business while those born into of poverty are fighting on the internet! Shame!!

He is an accomplished man,and a star in his field, but I refer Statue or public buildings be named after him, instead of creating unnecessary day off work.

If you add Muslim + Christian + national holidays in Nigeria, the answer you get is many days off work, which affects our productivity.

Guys i was just unban in politics section since 9days ago

Freedani: Tell me exactly how he laid down his life for an igbo man

He laid his life for an igbo man 100% i agree. This is the kind of the person we need in Nigeria for nigeria to attain greatness. we igbos should also celebrate this man because if he had succeeded in saving Ironsi ,it would have been a different story for us .

Yes! Igbo men can't die for their brother because of containers on the high sea!
Yoruba men die for their brother by sleeping with their daughters
Only in the north can u find true brotherly love

Dogs come and eat my poo!am off

Don't mind the lazy people if only they know Japan has only one public holiday in a whole year!

Like we dissect your brothers everyday and dissected 2 professors in BUK and you keep shouting they are killing Igbos and the zombies will start fighting in far away onitsha

Fajuyi, why didn't you just surrender. You could have made a lot of noise but knowing that Danjuma's firepower outnumbered yours, you could have just simply given up. Yes it is worth it dying for some people, but for Ironsi who did not bring to justice masterminders of an evil coup. I reserve my comment.

And someone is even proud his animalistic brothers up north love taking innocent lives and properties.
Other regions are leaving the northern animals behind in every perspective of life,u can keep killing yourselves like the wild,uncouth,and primitive animals you people are known to be,no one gives a flying phuck.



* Poverty in the North, embarrassing – Yar'Adua
* North, by far, the poorest, says Gambari
ABUJA—The Northern Nigeria Economic andInvestment Summit, kicked off in Abuja yesterday with the World Bank, saying that Northern Nigeria has the highest number of children not going to School in the world.
Professor Ibrahim Gambari, Under Secretary-General, Special Adviser to the Secretary General of the United Nations in his address lamented the poverty level of the North usinggrim statistics.
“On Health and Education”, he said, “the levelof immunization of Children against dangerous childhood diseases, in the South-East is 44.6% immunization coverage, but the North-West has 3.7% and the North-East 3.6%.”, he said
“If you take the education of the girl-child asindicator, you see similar pattern of inequality with the South-East having an enrolment rate of 85%, South-Wes having anenrolment rate of 85%, South-South 75%, while the North-East 20% and North West 25%."
The Minister of Finance, Dr Usman Shamsudeen, while addressing the gathering of eminent Northerners at the Summit alluded the aforementioned to a recent World Bank statistics.
According to him, the level of education of a people has direct correlation with their livingstandards.
He then lamented that based on that correlation, Northern Nigeria was far behindall of humanity when it comes to Child Education.
His words: “About two months ago”, he said, “the Ministry of Finance organised a review session with our Development Partner like the World Bank. The World Bank representative gave a list of statistics that should shock all of us into action”, he said.
He said that "Northern Nigeria remains, and represents the only place in the world that has the highest number of Children that are not going to school. The Highest number of children that are not going to school in the world are in Northern Nigeria”, he emphasized.
He blamed the problem on lack of commitment and efforts on the part of Northern leaders. He then called on responsible, experienced and educated retired Northerners to take up political leadership of their various states, as politics has been hijacked by hoodlums who have turned it to total warfare
President Umaru Yar'Adua whose speech was read by the Minister of Commerce, Mr. Charles Ugwu, noted that there still remaineda worrisome and embarrassing poverty situation in most part of Northern Nigeria.
This, the President said, is in spite of a sustained Gross Domestic Product Growth Rate of 6%; relatively stabilised Naira, controlled inflation and an enviable Foreign Reserve presently put at over $63 billion in a stable polity.
“In fact, in most of the Northern States the poverty level is very high”, Yar A'dua observed.
“In some of these States, there is equally high unemployment rate, near total collapse of infrastructure, virtual absence of new investments, while practically all the States depend essentially on revenues accruing from the Federation Account”, he said.
He then called on Northern States to take theadvantage they have in Agriculture and Solid Mineral and harness them for the well being of their people.

Nebeuwa:

Not all Igbos insult Yorubas, just like not all Yorubas insult Igbos. Enough with the blame game.

Agree. But it becomes worrisome when such insults come frm elected officers eg Gov, Igwe of NL etc.

That Fajuyi of a guy is indeed a rare breed of yoruba .,such a heroic act is seen only in 1 out of 20million yorubas.
Meaning that among the living yorubas.,chances of seeing such a brave and courageous man might just be zero..

Nebeuwa:

Not all Igbos insult Yorubas, just like not all Yorubas insult Igbos. Enough with the blame game.

Great of you. We both have our differences, but we are one. Proudly Ekitian!

Nebeuwa:

Learn how to honour heroes that give his life for your people sake.....and learn the difference of what belongs to you and what doesn't belong to you. Not to turn around and tell Yoruba people that Fajuyi is your son and Ekiti is your father's land

May Amadioha, Ogun and Sango fire ur own head!! If a yoruba man lays down his life, then so what?? Havent other people been doing it? Are Yorubas more human than Igbos? Dont animals do it? Are u less than an animals? Even here on Nairaland, we read of a Mouse laying down its life for a friend, and simply because of one useless documented deed, stupid ethnic bigots like u no want make we hear word! By the way, who told u Fajuyi laid down his life? Wia u dia when it happened? If he did, then Ironsi wouldnt have been killed! So shut up and use ur ASSU strike for better things than to come here and argue with ur superiors! Ode.

Mayor_of_Lagos:



This ndigbo honour is misplaced.

Fajuyi exercised a Yoruba moral teaching that a guest in one's house must be honored and accomodated in goodwill. When assassins entered his home to take away his guest he responded in patriotism to his culture and not because Ironsi was Igbo.

This is a backdoor attempt by Igbo leaders wanting to appease Yoruba over their misspeak on Lagos. It is welcome but misplaced.

Fajuyi did not die to save Ironsi. This myth has been debunked ling time ago. Fajuyi was equally a target. Enough of this misinformation.

liar source please

odua boy: A yoruba laid down his life for an ibo man but an ibo man can never do that for his own ibo brother example ojukwu fleeing the civil war.

After laying life for a single Ibo man, the Yoruba corrected that “mistake” by boosting the killings of millions of Ibos via Awo starvation formula. The correction continued when another Yoruba man ordered and supervised the successful massacre of the whole village of Odi in Bayelsa.
The latest one is more humane and more educated. I understand he's a SAN.Rather than outright killings, he’s dumping innocent people by Niger Bridge at night and hoping they will get drowned.
