Ofemannnu:
THEY ARE CONSIDERATE WARRIORS WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY AND HAD WON THEIR WARS.

A few ignorant Igbos who see the liberal and live and let live nature of the SW(Yorubas) as something of cowardice or docility should for their own sake go and read and know about their(IGBOS) history and compare with that of the robust history of the Great Yoruba race...GREAT because they built empire like Great Britain,Great Roman empire etc and great because they were never naked or half clad like barbarians in their lives...

The fact is Yorubas have been warriors from time immemorial while the Igbos had been the opposites from time immemorial...

These are also some of the lethal blow of the considerate warriors....
AS MUCH AS YORUBAS DO NOT LIKE WARS OR BLOODSHED,THEY BECOME THE WARRIORS THEIR DNAs ARE ENCOMPASSED WITH AS SOON AS IT WARRANTS FOR WAR...

The new division took on the special qualities of its GOC.
Colonel Adekunle, Age 29, was diminuative and aggressive,
known to be more daring than the other division commanders.
A staunch disciplinarian, Adekunle carried a golf club shaft
or bat which he used to prod soldiers under fire. Colonel
Adekunle apparently was able to get away with this because of
the universally accepted belief that he was fearless. He was
noted for personally leading his brigades into battle.Adekunle was dynamic and innovative in his plans and
operations...

The Biafran attack was led by Lt. Col. Banjo...A BORN WARRIOR but always considerate.

READ A LITTLE OF THE WAR INGENUITY OF THE GREAT YORUBA NATIONS:

Yorubas because of their war capabilities AND BRAVERY expanded up to TOGO and GHANA AND DAHOMEY while your people were covering their blockoss with their bare hands grin


The EWE people have not always lived in their present home. Their traditions recall a migration from the east - more precisely KETU a YORUBA town in modern BENIN. KETU is also called AMEDZOFE or MAWUFE in the accounts. KETU was founded by the YORUBA people by the fourteenth century at the latest.

In it lived besides the forebears of the EWE, the YORUBA and the ancestors of the AJA, FON, and GA-DANGME. It was the expansion of the YORUBA people that pushed the EWE and related peoples westward.
The migrants went to live at TADO in present-day TOGO from where they later dispersed in various directions.

Yorubas are not savages and we do not like spilling blood without a very tangible cause but when it comes to measuring up to us,then the warrior in us comes out.




The fighting continued all through Wednesday till Thursday (today) when some thugs, believed to be of Yoruba origin, invaded the market and started attacking the Hausas.

They burnt seven cars and killed three Hausa traders.

In what was suspected to be a reprisal attack, a Fulani herdsman identified as Dan Bako was Wednesday killed in Ilara-Mokin in Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State.
This is coming barely a week after an Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) member, Mr Ayodele Ige was killed in the farm of Chief Olu Falae in Ilado in Akure Local Government Area of the state.
The head of the Fulani herdsmen in the state, Alhaji Alli Dongo and Babangida Sodiq Kusada, the Chairman of Hausa community in Akure kingdom and the head of Arewa community in the state, said Dongo was declared missing after all efforts to trace him prove abortive.
Briefing reporters in the Officers’ Mess of the Nigerian Police Force in Akure, the state capital, Dongo and Kusada said their kinsman had been living in Ilara-Mokin for the past seven years and was preparing to relocate to his state when the incident happened.

The meeting was called to order after Lam
walked into the Executive Chambers.
Introductions over, Buhari spoke on their
mission to the governor’s office. Emitting fire,
the general accused Lam and the government
of Oyo State of complicity in the killing of over
68 Fulani people in Oke Ogun area and
perversion of justice.
His words: “Your Excellency, our visit here is to
discuss with you and your government our
displeasure about the incident of clashes
between two peoples… the Fulani cattle rearers
and merchants are today being harassed ,
attacked and killed like in Saki. In the month of
May, 2000, 68 bodies of Fulani cattle rearers
were recovered and buried under the
supervision and protection from a team of
Mobile Police from Oyo State Command.
“ That some arrests were made by Oyo State
Police Command in the massacre with their
immediate release without court trial. This was
said to have been ordered by Oyo State
authorities and they were so released to their
amazement. The release of the arrested
suspects gave the clear impression that the
authorities are backing and protecting them to
continue the unjust and illegal killings of Fulani
cattle rearers…”
According to the general, they therefore wanted
immediate stoppage of the killings, justice and
compensation to the Fulanis.

Which is one of our greatest strength as a race. "We know our limitations within ourselves"! Honestly, if you know what that true strength of knowing your limitations mean, you'd always respect anyone who is that. For example I won't try to show to an IPOB member his folly at Upper Iweka. I would simply not pick a fight where there's a higher chance of loosing or in which victory is too damaging. I'd keep my calm till I can strike. The Russians were notorious for having such a system too. They'd only strike at the right time, have a Central voice and knows where and when they're weak.
