There were already Yorubas in the war even before the thrust towards Lagos.
Yorubas were already involved in some of the ministries that were undermining the Biafean efforts even before the war.

The thing is that Yorubas always try to justify their efforts in betraying their neighbours.
They even justified their actions of 28th march 2015, by deplouing their media arm in labelling GEJ as clueless and an dumbo. It's all about GIVING A DOG A BAD NAME BEFORE HANGING IT

SonOfEl:


its only in nairaland that you can spew trash. in the real world, Biafra's bravery in self determination amidst huge opposition is something you cowards can never think of in your slavish life.

kramer:


There's a thin line between being brave and foolhardy my friend.

I assume Banjo was able to see the difference between the two since he was right in the thick of it (and not sitting behind a desk pushing orders) at the point he was in he knew he couldn't take over Lagos and felt that the only brave thing to do was to swallow his pride , risk percesution by the ibos, and negotiate for peace, that would have saved a whooping 3million people!!! Think about it!! The foolhardy thing to do would have been to press on and still die with your poor soldiers and not be remembered and 3million people would still have died.

So question is, should you be praising the person who would have saved your people from suffering our the person who led to the death of 3million of your people?

Volksfuhrer:


That is the saddest part of Ifeajuna's story: a brilliant man and a distinguished athlete, consumed by guile, rage and ambition.

laudate:


Where is the 'trash' in my post? It is when people like you cannot offer rational, logical points or any superior facts to counter what has been stated, that you descend into the realm of insults. Why am I not surprised?

Idrismusty97:
A traitor that could have save 3 million lives. Those lives could have multiplied to six million or more by now. Imagine six million more technocrats, Business men/women and of course future criminals all wasted because of a proud beast.

Volksfuhrer:


The "expeditionary" thrust to Lagos via the SW was ab initio ill-conceived. If Ojukwu had stayed put in Biafra, It would have been difficult for Yorubas to enter the war. The war should have been kept simple.

I blame Ojukwu. How can you hand a major attacking force to a Yoruba man?

OPCNAIRALAND:


...the superiority of your opponents is what caused you loss.

vega84:
Pls where did u get ur facts? The prime minister was nt shot, he died at of panic on their way to calabar his body was then left in a plantation. Nobody shot him as they were no gun wounds in his body. #vegatalks

mightyhaze:
well,d odds were heavily stacked against d biafrans. Imagine like 250 ethnic groups. Fightin jst 2 or 3,evn at dat d loyalty of some were in question. Dat coupled wif d world powers n african nations.so I agree wit ur superiority statement. Ojukwu probly didt knw wot he was up against.he probly didt reckon on d backstabbin of yorubas.afta his meetins wit awo,(afta releasin him 4m calabar prisons)ojukwu probly felt yorubas wud at best stay neutral. How wrong he was..

Trailii:

it's is ademoyega not Adegboyega.... his main mission was to seize NBC and announce d military coup and take over. he did not kill any1 during the coup...

tomakint:

Please don't crack me up, whether Ojukwu stay put within Biafran enclave it is most certain that the Yoruba officers in the Armed Forces would still be used as pawns by the ruling Mallams to fight their Southeastern brethren....check it.

SonOfEl:


as much as you try hard to sound intelligent, you keep exhibiting your biase and cowardice.

you kill over 50000 igbos in a progrom and expect me to BEG for peace, even after the ABURI ACCORD in Ghana? dude, cowardice is foolhardy. you and your type are just too incredible.... the way you exhibit cowardice with such finesse

ayindejimmy:


Stay neutral when he attacked Lagos? That was the turning point

T9ksy:



I have always wondered why Ademoyega wasn't given the task of snuffing out Ironsi (if truly the latter was on the coupists' hit list) as am sure he wouldn't have failed in his mission.

peleson:
If Banjo and ifeajuna had gone beyond Ore,lagos would have fallen! They had a back up stationed in Benin enroute kwara down to north! Kaduna nzeogwu was stationed btw enugu n makurdi! If it was Kaduna nzeogwu,lagos would have fallen!

dialfa:


I blame Ojukwu. How can you hand a major attacking force to a Yoruba man?

fr3do:


it is the hate and dishonesty of the Nigerian side that killed those 3 million innocent souls.
Everybody knows that on the battlefield, more ill-trained nigeria troops died, the bitchess only had power on non combatants.

chiefmidwife:
Ifeajuna is a coward and traitor
He wants to negotiate for the war without consulting his boss..Ojukwu

mightyhaze:
do u knw if he was given but chickened out?

SonOfEl:


keep exposing your stupidity. do you think Biafra was ojukwu's brainchild? Biafra was a necessity caused by the program against easterners even after the so called countercoup by the northern baby killers.

T9ksy:


No, i don't and i doubt it but one thing i do know for sure, is that the ibo man that was entrusted with that objective, allegedly

chickened out which resulted in the same Ironsi, quelling the coup and usurping power at gunpoint.

zadok60:
why do I need to meet him?..

mightyhaze:
I meant durin d planin stage. WALE may hav characteristically chickened out at dat stage, u knw wot am sayn?

Idrismusty97:
He was executed by Ojukwu! At least he taught the beast how to dress like a woman. You killed an innocent Northerner then get killed by your own kinsmen while doing what will benefit them. Now that's Karma at its best! Didn't the monster Ojukwu still negotiate a ceasefire at the end? But it was already too late, 3 million lives have been wasted.
