So what if Yoruba's are cowards etc....

Gtbank....d same thing


Biafra na Yoruba shut am down....



I know you lot are suffercated and diabolical liars, but coward yorubas did not shut down biafra....Biafra is shut down by combined efforts of the Hausa-Fulani and the western world....

If yorubas shut down biafra, they should have been the owners of Nigeria instead of the Hausa-Fulani. ..

If yorubas shut down biafra, coward awolowo would automatically become a president
If yorubas shut down biafra, abacha won't have dared to kill the greatest son of odua and his wife, MKO

If yorubas shut down biafra, diya won't have cried before Hausa-Fulani junior officer

Mr., please when will Ndigbo respond to the recent humiliation of your fellow kinsmen via beheadings in the hands of the minority igala militants? Considering how quick you all are to label others as cowards, one would have expected the Biafrans to have reacted swiftly and decisively following that humiliating incident. Abi that 'runaway' Ojukwu tendency is at work again or what? cheesy

How will the names "look Yoruba" to you, when you spend most of your precious time thinking of how to blow up oil pipes and forming militant in the creeks instead of studying basic history. Smh. For your info, Sapara Williams was Yoruba and the first Nigerian to be called to the bar. And if you don't know Ajayi Crowther then you are hopeless. Next time make good use of google before embarrassing yourself. undecided

forgive my naivety. I assumed the savage glamour of UNPROFITABLE war has lost its vainglory in this age. Civilized countries have somethings to show for their wars. but it is rather amusing to see tha the thread is about names not achievements of war. those who gave the defination of idiocy will also be amused by your character in an enlightened society. I will not define you, you have given a practical description of your stage of human development. I can only pray for your progress because the world has moved on. wisdom is profitable to direct.

Very funny. You think you are clever buddahmonk but you really are not. That news report in the link you presented is from about two years ago. I'm talking about the recent tragic incident that took place some weeks back, where some of your fellow unarmed kinsmen were beheaded by militants from kogi. Normally I shouldn't even be discussing such tragedy in this manner under normal circumstances but I simply couldn't resist the temptation to bring it up considering how you (in particular) and some of your kinsmen (in general) are fond of calling others cowards for sometimes exercising restraint in certain situations that could lead to violent escalation.

Can't hear when your obj said, the presidency is a reward for his feat at the war....this means, the north just entertained him and took it back....obj presidency is never about coward yorubas....it a personal reward...shonoke president is just few months and they took it back...

Guy, one of your most annoying traits is your dishonesty/disingenuous penchant for twisting facts. Nobody has a monopoly of violence. You should learn to have your facts before making stvpid statements that can be easily refuted. Here's an excerpt from Governor Fayose's media aide right after the recent Hausa-Yoruba clash in Ado (emphasis on the bolded):


“So when Hausas were attacked in Mile 12, Lagos in 2000, was the then Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu the mastermind of the attack? When over 70 Hausas were killed in Oke Ogun area of Oyo State in 2003, was the governor then, late Alhaji Lam Adesina th mastermind the killing?"

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/183410-nurtw-members-attack-hausa-community-in-ekiti.html

From the above quote you can see that Yorubas can also get violent in extreme situations when provoked -- 70 hausas were butchered at Oke Ogun during that crisis. Obviously we often times than not choose to exercise restraint and are less barbaric compared to you igbos and hausas when it come to the business of violence, but our aversion for bloodlust is merely a demonstration civility rather than cowardice.

Apparently the recent beheadings of your kinsmen by the igala militants were in retaliation for a previous Igbo provocation. Hopefully that incident has taught you loud-mouthed lot that those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
