Am sorry if i sound disrespectful, but let us use our common sense here. You expect the Yoruba's to give the Biafran army a free passage to Lagos,so that they can turn there land to a battle feed?
What of the number of Yoruba's that will die during the battle in Lagos, in which Yoruba may gain nothing but incur severe damage.
Why cant they attack from the north, who they are in war with?

Oshodia: Sloan u re a full by saying that , we re not here to cause ay tribe, your father who brought you to this world is an animal fucking you mother with out respect that was why they born monkey like.Are you more that a lot of Yoruba and ibo guy in this nairaland we re here to solve differences but you come with you family fulish nonsense .

Lagos is capital and GOWON was in Lagos. Do you think if capital was in Enugu or port harcourt the soldiers will locate Lagos. All soldiers some Yoruba some ibo are friend.

With this you fulish idea if it now you are gong be the first full to make a big mistake

Oshodia:


Gowon was in Lagos

You are talking to your cursed father and mother, ko? Not surprised, after all you folks wake up your fathers with a sliding tackle every morning! And you father failed for not letting you get education, hence your English is abysmally poor and downright sucks!

King Tom:

It seems you guys do not know when to stop the insults. Well my damage control is over. If una like kill yourselves, Good night.

[b]Wait, did you mean to write that or it dropped out from your head while you were subconscious? [/b]Why do you people not see common sense and use it prudently? So, you mean the Yorubas should give you free passage through their land? Why did you not give free passage to all the minorities to keep their land and people away from biafra? No, you had to grab those lands and force their people to become biafra soldiers but you are begging a bigger power to close their eyes so you can go through their lands? The height of irresponsible stupi.dity! What is free in war? Did Ojukwu not have that planned and figured out before he declared secession and brought war? Oh, and you trying to gain access to our land because you are interested in attacking the Northerners but you first come West? If it is not madness, then it means you and your ilk have no grey matter upstairs! If you want to fight the northerners, then go directly to the north; not miss your way to another man's land because that is why you were handed your ass on a blood stained platter! Ibos should stay away from Yorubaland, YOU ARE NO LONGER WELCOME IN OUR LAND simple and I don't care what you or anyone thinks about my position!

T9ksy:


That was a bit harsh, sloan.

King Tom:

Sloan:

No, I spoke the truth or are you not one of the people who suggest we let you people turn our own land into a theatre of war? Why not go north or you think this is the Israelites journey where you first come to the west, en-route the north? This is really funny, but it is worse that someone still cannot see the foo.lishness of the decisions taken back then and till today somehow suggests biafran army should have been allowed to go through? Unbelievable!

ckkris: It is also time to
STUDY how Nigerian troops fared in Liberia and Siera Leone, why and how did Nigeria lost too many soldiers, including a Brigadier General. Who were their commanders? If we know so much of General Patton's command in Europe during WW2, its good to know about General Domkat Bali.
Now one is doubt of the competence of General Godwin Alabi-Isama

Slowpoke,

It is a crap such as above junk from demented and ill-educated reprobate envisages indelible enmity between Yari,ba people and Ndigbo. Nobody in Biafra or Igbo land expected any free passage from Yari,ba but had expected inherently cowered people to evict Gowon who had made Lagos a comfortable home from where he and Nigerians attacked Biafra.

Contrary to your silly conjectural crap, Biafrans had no interest in fighting anybody rather wanted a country different from the cesspit called Nigeria which was/is filled to the brink with regrettable villains such as you.

In fact, your post conveyed one thought which is very common among Yari,ba people. It is better imagined than to be told.

Ejindu: Do you think there will be any war?


Nzeogwu:

The East which is best equipped and best prepared for war, does not want to attack anybody.

I came here to read the rants I saw,and all of a sudden I see insults and tribal sentiments. The general was actually referring to OBJ and I wonder how the igbos got into this discussion. I beg all the tribal champions and ethnic champions to not look for every opportunity to unleash unnecessary insults. I believe if the war was fought in the SW,most of you here always heated up and ready to kill and chase out igbos (as if they are the problems of Nigeria) out of SW region experienced the war through the death of an uncle,a sister,a father,probably when making inciting comments, would be cautious. Be careful how you speak with passion for your tribe whether either igbo,hausa and yoruba because the people you fight for might be the person lying beside you stone cold because crises and tribal war isn't a good experience. Let's be matured. You can make your comment without trading insults.

ckkris:
Obasanjo was in Makurdi by the end of July 1969, and Major CK Nzeogwu, who Ojukwu didn't allow to be in any Biafran Army unit, was last seen alive by Mrs Rose Njoku, (wife of Biafran Army Chief, Hillary Njoku) at Opi junction, on July 29, mobilising volunteers to join him, in a personal foray behind Nigerian Army positions at Obolo Eke. One of Nzeogwu's volunteers was Ojukwu's younger brother Tom. Both Nzeogwu and Tom were found dead on July 31, by Nigerian troops. Its believed that Nzeogwu was attempting to make personal contact with Obasanjo. It will be good if Obasanjo IS WILLING TO DECLASSIFY THE LETTERS BETWEEN HIM AND NZEOGWU. But things were moving and changing very fast in those weeks that led up to the August troop movement by Victor Banjo. Another living witness is Ogbemudia. And its well known that Nzeogwu and most of members of January 15 coup, were not in support of the secession of Biafra, and were looking for how to stop the war that had already started. Emmanuel Ifeajuna and Victor Banjo were executed for what happened at Ore. CIVIL WAR HISTORY IS VERY NECESSARY.

ImperialYoruba:


You dont come here talking !may have!. Give facts!! Did Obasanjo and Awo support Biafra or not?

T9ksy:



The bolded portion above is exactly what Ojukwu was banking on (when he insisted on biafra, we stand ) but unfortunately, yorubas didn't swallow his bait which would have seen millions of yorubas dying for a supremacy tussle between the ibos and their former bedmate.

PFRB:


Awo was the owner of the so called Nzeogu coup.

debetmx:


Obasanjo never supported biafra. For any reason Yoruba officers had been bypassed during the promotion promo by Aguiyi Ironsi for ibo and ibo speaking Officers. Victor Banjo had sent Wole Soyinka to Obasanjo to seek free passage to Lagos for a fee because there was no way the ill trained and equipped biafra forces could get to Lagos without being crushed but Obasanjo rejected the offer. It's totally condemnable that biafran propagandists, the cantankerous coward and even unborn ibos have accused Banjo of treachery. Victor Banjo at any point never supported secession which he showed in his speech to the Mid-West, words and deeds. Victor Banjo had stayed in the State House with ojukwu but moved out when the cantankerous coward declared secession. ojukwu probably chose Victor Banjo to lead the suicide expedition to Lagos so as to have him (Banjo) killed, which he finally succeeded by accusing of planning a coup. God bless Victor Banjo he took the bullet with his chest buffed out. That is an example of a man died for what he believed in.

Governor Adebayo Adeyinka was pro- Federal and never supported secession and war. Awolowo initially sympathized with the biafrans until the treacherous bastard tried to occupy our land using a Yoruba Officer.
