1966 Coup: Okonjo-iweala's Adviser Appreciates Yorubaman For Saving His Dad by newgroom: 9:17am On Jun 01, 2017 |
Paul C. Nwabuikwu, Special Adviser to the former Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has taken to his Facebook wall to appreciate an unknown Yorubaman who at a great risk to his life hid his father from the mob searching for Igbos in Kano, in 1966. See what he wrote: TRIBUTE TO THE UNKNOWN YORUBA MAN At great risk to his life, a Yoruba neighbor on Sanyaolu street, Sabon Gari, Kano, hid my father from the mob searching for Igbos in 1966. I still don't know your name, sir, but my prayer is that God will bless you and your descendants today and always. Your sacrifice is one of the reasons why Nigeria, in spite of many disappointments, continues to retain some meaning for me. Lalasticlala 57 Likes 1 Share

Lol. I also want to thank the Yoruba family that saved my uncle in Sabon-gari in the same 1966 prgrom. Mobs and soldiers were going round killing Igbo people but his neighbours who were crying more than the Igbo hid him at the risk of death. Na why I no dey generalize. Some Yoruba good, some bad. God bless the Igbo Nation! 121 Likes 3 Shares |

The yoruba tribe is the most accomodating, homely, tolerant and peaceful tribe.A Yoruba man will put his life on the line to protect his neighbour not caring where he comes from. You can slander us all you want but the world knows the truth. ----------- Proud omoluabi 311 Likes 30 Shares |

Oluwole Soyinka and Abdulganiyy Fawehinmi went to jail because of Ndigbos. They stood against Nigeria government. They ended the war with their powerful pens and mouths. So many Yorubas risked their lives to save ndigbo from going to extinction....and today, they referred to us as cowards. 169 Likes 10 Shares |
