ok its a thing of perspective.....that is from your own angle you might think there wasn't any need.......but from his own angle and that of the igbo race it was purely a fight for survival

Well, History will only repeat itself....

or did you forget (or are you too young to even know) that it was EXACTLY this same thing that happened in 1963 or thereabout, when Aguyi ironsi and his Ibo brothers wiped-out the whole Northern Political and Military Elite (with some few Yorubas as well)?

Funnily, when l was young, Yorubas use to refer to Aguyi Ironsi as "Agolo Iresi" (tin-cup of Rice!) grin grin
Does anyone here remember that slang?

Is it not better to be labeled a coward and be alive with your 3million siblings than to be boastful and get trounced roundly such that you runaway from your fatherland while your family surrenders in shame!

Like the Yorubas say in an adage, "Ogbon ju'agbara lo" literally meaning "Intelligence trumps physical Power" anyday.

I hope the Ibos will not allow history to repeat itself because it might even be worse this time around because back then, it was just "Ibos Vs Hausas (East Vs. North) and the Yorubas only chipped-in when Ojukwu knowing that he is losing the war, tried to force th ehands of Yorubas into it by attacking "westwards" even when he is yet to defend his enclave successfully.

Yorubas are calculating and watching, if forced, they have shown their hands a few times.
"Superior Intelligence" is our greatest weapon and we know its value.


Just stating it in black and white, forgive me if it sounds haughty. wink wink

The BIG SHAME of it was that the same runaway warlord came back and quietly contested under the banner of One Nigeria, under the same Northerners (NPN federal Govt though his APGA was non existent! grin )!

....showing beyond doubt that his secession was just out of personal greed and selfishness!
For which he was ready to waste over 3Million Ibo lives! shocked shocked shocked


We all know that the Japanese are the most proud people on earth and they defend their honor, with their blood. hence they will fall on their sword, if their integrity is in question.
Awolowo could have plunged the Yoruba nation into chaos (coup plotting, real or imagined) but he chose to "bite the bullet" by himself and save his nation from wanton and needless destruction.

That is the hallmark of BRAVE and INTELLIGENT MAN not one that plunges them into hell and then takes-off like a Boieng 707 jet, only to re-emerge when he knew their is Suya for him to chop!

I tell you, the current set of Youths are even worse, the older Generations may be bad but they had a measure of dignity, self control and are intelligent to a level; Today's youth have nothing to put forward. Just drifters!

I am sure the Older generations are wondering what would happen to this country, when they eventually a pass-on. undecided

What you wrote confirmed that people of useless generation failed woefully. That shows they failed to train the youths. The useless generation just only concern about their myopic and selfish selves.

Point of correction, he started a war he could not finish and ran away. That doesn't make you bold or strong. The major actors in that war were Yorubas, that informs why Igbos never liked the name Adekunle and collapse at the sight of scorpion.
Fajuyi fought the war like every other soldier trying to protect national unity, my anger is that people just talk about the biafra war without researching properly, that's due to the hatred in this country, ask yourself, what led to the war?

[b]THESE PEOPLE FROM A CERTAIN PART OF NIGERIA THAT ALWAYS CHALLENGE IGBOS ON THE CIVIL WAR HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY WAR IN NIGERIA.
THEY ARE LIKE WOMEN THAT SPECIALIZE IN STUPID TALES AND THEY HAVE A POOR SENSE OF HISTORY.
SOMEBODY SHOULD EDUCATE THEM ON THE HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR INSTEAD OF JOINING ISSUES WITH THEM
1. LET THEM KNOW THAT THE SMALL IGBO POPULATION HELD THE WHOLE NIGERIA FOR 30 MONTHS I.E. 2YRS AND 6MONTHS
2. THAT NO SIDE WAS WINNING THE WAR
3. THAT THE UNITED NATIONS LED BY BRITAIN ENDED THE WAR BY BLOCKADING BIAFRA
4. THAT OJUKWU LEFT TO IVORY COAST ONLY WHEN THE UNITED NATIONS BLOCKADE STARTED BITTING
4. THAT YORUBAS HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY WAR IN NIGERIA AS THE BIAFRA WAR WAS MAINLY BETWEEN THE EAST AND THE NORTH BACKED BY THE COLONIALISTS AND THAT IS BASICALLY Y THE YORUBA MAKES NOISE ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR TOO OFTEN because THEY DONT KNOW WHAT WAR MEANS
5. TELL THE YORUBA TO ALLOW THE NORTH AND THE EAST WHO WERE ACTIVE SIDES IN THE WAR TO COMMENT ON THE CIVIL WAR WHILE THE YORUBAS SHUT UP UNTIL THE DAY THEY ENGAGE ANY PART OF THE NATION IN A FULL SCALE WAR AFTER WHICH THEY CAN START TALKING

THANKS ALL FOR ALLOWING ME TO MAKE SENSIBLE CONTRIBUTION[/b]

You are a "real JJC"! grin

Let me just give you three things that Yorubas did to conquer the Ibo Biafra war.

1.) Change of Currency - Awolowo was the finance Minister, he was the one who ordered the change of currency (The only person he told earlier was the Head of State). This killed any financial hope for Biafra and all the Pound they looted from our Central Banks in Benin and some other Eastern states, became VALUELESS! grin grin

2.) FOOD Blockade: It was Awolowo again who sympathised with the dying Ibos and decided we must bring this war to a quick end, having been treating Biafra with kids glove in the past. With no food to eat, Ibos were preactically competing with our Cows and Lizards, for Grass and insects! grin grin

3.) The SURRENDER OF Biafra was taken by General Okikiola Olusegun Obasanjo! Go figure!!

And for boot, let me add that it was Awolowo who introduced the Twenty Pounds abandoned property for you people I dont have to remind you what that did to your sorry arze! wink wink undecided

So, asking those who used "superior intelligence" to finish you off, to shut Up, says much about the kind of story you were told by your elders who simply wanted to impress you.

All decisive actions of that war, was taken when Ojukwu decided he wants to test the will of these "coward" Yorubas, as you people always say! undecided

Yorubas decided the tide of the war and we did it just to save a few sorry Ibo Arze like that of your Grand Parents otherwise you wont be here deceiving yourself and your "Blodders" grin grin

Gerrit? I guess Ojukwu ran to Ivory Coast to bring "food"! shocked shocked shocked
