If he had allowed the Russians?
What happened to the thousands of arms and ammunitions given by France and Israel?
How about the mercenaries he was paying in the old currency before Awolowo changed to naira?
You want to start denying the support you had? LOL. Taa gba fuo there.

Excuse me madam, what tribe do you belong?

Loool. Where was Ojukwu the running squirrel of Biafra and his strongest black army ever? I bet my man was on a flight to Abidjan from Uli (what a name...lool) airport in high heels, Mary Kay, lipstick, and a dress looking like Obeah of Onitsha and somewhat reminiscent of the chronicles of Madea loool.

This picture tells a story - Yorubas won that war. But I'll never understand why OBJ was allowed to take the glory of a war he never really did anything of note in. Heck, that nyggah was shot in the arse and shooting someone in the arse is the most disrespectful thing you can ever do to that person. Adekunle and Awolowo should've been allowed to take the glory for a war they won - not cowardly OBJ.

Anyway, the war was won and lost at Ore...and almost all the books I read alluded to that indirectly cos after the Ore battle, Biafrans were on the back foot till the end of the war. The battle of ore is reminiscent of the exploit of the Duke of Wellington against Napoleon and French forces in the battle of Waterloo. Napoleon never recovered from that crunching defeat.

Yorubas of that era were warriors unlike the parrots running around today. I won't bet a penny on today's clowns even against a minority group cos most of these clowns have sold their souls for a plate of porridge and they will end up selling one another out. A lot of them are all over NL lol.

Just know that my people of the Niger-Delta will not be a party to it- that evil plan of yours(I'm sure you're seeing the signs already). And if the Buhari-led FG does not sensibly maintain this delicate balance as we have it now and maybe do something substantial to improve the country's unity, WE SHALL ALL FEEL THE HEAT. You better pray for peace and work for justice because you too may be consumed. A word is enough for the wise.

Can Nigeria fight the war without Brittish, France, Russians and Egyptian forces and ammunition, it was Biafra versus world powers for 3 years.

Really? This is truly amazing! Biafra, militarily engaging all those superpowers is truly jaw-dropping and quite incredible! Igbo kwenu!!!

we thank u igbos so much for developing lagos and fetching all the waters we have in lagos lagoon and streams with your biafran Buckets grin The question is when will you guys repeat another lagos in the south east so the number of luxurious buses filled with igbos searching for greeners pastures and leaving the east on a daily basis reduce? Dont you think it doesnt make sense to demand biafra while your region is filled with dirts, beggars and erosion ravaged lands? Please develop at least one local government in ABA like u developed Lagos, Abuja, London and Newyork city. grin Thank u

I'm the real Yoruba not the watered-down Nigerianised-Yoruba like the clowns running around today. The Yoruba consciousness in me, is the real concentrated old school Yoruba via my pops. The Yorubaness of Awolowo. The Yorubaness of Awujale Fidipote. The Yorubaness of Julius Ojo-Cole . The Yorubaness of Alaafin Shango. The Yorubaness of Alaafin Abiodun (can't remember the name of the last great Alaafin Oyo had).

That's me right there with the shower pose like fireman sam loool. I don't indulge in stupidity...I say it as it is. These modern Yoruba clowns are snakes and most of them have sold their souls to the highest bidders. Just look at how divided they're. Heck, they have more five ethnic militia groups with all kinds of names lol.

In a war of attrition, a real commander looking to achieve decisive victory, will always shoot and kill fifth columnists before taking on the enemy. Enemies within are the most dangerous and once you can take care of them - you don't have to watch ya back or worry about battle plans being leaked to the enemies.

A lot of these clowns are enemies within. I don't even think you understand the concept of loyalty. Loyalty isn't about trying to cover up what's wrong and being fake...loyalty is about keeping it real at all times. I'm a real nyggah, that's how the old heads raised me and if you're wrong, I will say it to ya face without sugar coating it, regardless of the relationship we've. You can't be a shower man without being real, g.

A lot of these modern Yorubas are suckers, hence they have no leader of note and they move like headless chickens. You just have to keep drumming the truth in their ears regardless of whose ox is gored. I'm old school and I studied Yoruba heroes, not suckers, you get me? All ah dat all ah dat lol.

The same way Yorubaland is not only limited to SW or Nigeria. It extends into Benin Republic and Togo.

See story. Igbos in Benue are in Northern Nigeria. EOD.

There is nothing like SE/SS. It is SE or SS. If you want to lay claim.to SS, we have had of the stake there. The whole of Edo and Delta with your Asaba are under western region. There is nothing you can do about that.

Lmaoooooooo.
In addition, there are Yoruba stools in SS Oba in Benin and Olu in Warri

SE/SS are the same region, No Emirate stool in it, Igbo land is not limited to SE alone, The Igbos in Benue are not under Hausa-fulani Emirate rule like your people in Kwara. Ikwere people are the owners of their land, whether they decide to rename it from Umuokoro to Rumuokoro, It is their decision and their land, they can call it whatever they like, but Hausa-fulani is ruling their land.
But there are Yoruba stools in SS, Oba in Benin and Olu in Warri.

I didn't even shoot - I just drew a comparison between the Yorubas of that era and the suckers running around today. That's not even friendly fire - it's a motivation prep speech to remind weaklings about how brave and victorious in battle their forebears were lol.

But trust me, if I were to command troops, I'll gladly kill snakey cowards and fifth columnists on the battlefield. You just can't leave ya backside open in a war of attrition and I won't mind killing 100 snakes to save 10,000. I think chairman Mao perfected that strategy lol.

Stop being silly. I am not Igbo. Just saying the truth. Ojukwu was a coward for running away but he was not even up to the rank of a General. Diya and Adisa were Generals and documented as the biggest cowards in the history of the Nigerian Military.

At least the Igbos were man enough to fight after the pogrom in Northern states while you lot have never really fought any battle in history physically but through back stabbing and back biting. Loud cowardly open mouthed bunch of noise makers

Ojukwu was not even a General in the Nigerian Army when the war broke out.

Oladipo Diya the ewedu muching ape remains the records holder as far as cowardice is concerned in the Nigerian army.

General Ironsi aka IRONSIDE was brave in death even though he knew he was going to die buit he knew he was a General.

Just look at The Yoruba Oladipo Diya & Disa. grin grin grin
Ironsi a brave man, fine now tell me about Adekunle Fajuyi that died with and compare him with Ojukwu

How do you define bravery again?

I think 'bravery' is when a war commander abandons his troops and leaves his subjects at the mercy of rampaging enemy forces to torment. It is especially,when such a commander flees to Abidjan in the midst of a war he shouldn't have fought in the first instance.

Anyway,chest-beating did not Just start today; It a sign of bravery after all !

Let me drop some supreme science for you. Take this post as today's mathematics and after this, I hope you'll start following my lead lol.

Malcolm X said it best when he said: you shouldn't be blinded by patriotism and not speak the truth, what is bad is bad (paraphrasing the supreme quote here).

Now back to my post: I alluded to OBJ not deserving the glory accorded to him after that war cos he never did anything. The guy just took Adekunle's glory. That was the guy who the war and I won't take what I said back. Heck, OBJ was shot in the arse and getting shot in the arse is the most disrespectful thing that can ever happen to a soldier where I'm from. You know I ain't got no love for OBJ and I believe he's a cunning sucker and a coward...a man not worthy of emulation. I'll leave that there.

As for what I posted about today's Yorubas - you just need to be observant to see how effed up they are, despite all the noise. A cursory look at the number of groups the so-called Yoruba leaders have alone should paint a picture for you. And they don't even get along. Then you have the countless Yoruba ethnic militia groups (I've actually lost count of these clowns cos there's always a new one blowing hot air weekly on this forum). So, why can't all these people come together under one umbrella and speak with one voice? Yet you think they're not suckers.

Also when you look at Yoruba youths, the tangent of their opinion is based on who has the largest crumbs to swing their way. Tinubu is the richest right now and that's the clown they worship, despite how he has robbed them blind. When a next moneybag comes around, they'll swing his way. And these are the suckers you think don't deserve to be shot on the battlefield? - hysterical. I'm brutal like Chairman Mao and I studied legends/revolutionaries. So always follow my lead, big bredrin lol.

Individuals from Israel only played the journalism part, France provided food only, that was why Awolowo said that if they continued feeding Biafrans they will kip fighting. They shot down a French plane and France stopped.
Let me remind you that it was Egyptian pilots that flew the airplane that bombarded Biafra lands. It was British ammunition that was used in the war for Nigerian soldiers. American was passive in thier stand. My dear, the Biafra war was mainly aided by the international power brokers..
