I really think that the Yoruba is irrelevant as far as Biafra is/was concerned. Biafra could have won the war decisively if the Eastern leaders planned it well. I really think that the Yorubas have been given too much attention for either outcome of the war, which is why they talk about it more than those who actually fought the war against Biafra -namely northern minorities. The Igbo say that when men finish fighting, women take over the talking and bragging part. I believe that is what Yoruba folks here have been doing. I advise my Igbo brothers to ignore them and focus on the men we fought - the northerners, because if we don't, we waste our attention on irrelevant things. No one knows what will still happen in Nigeria. We should not waste our attention on those who can't sway the war either way. |

[i][Yes o, pls. do focus your attention on the northerners who have been killing Igbos as far back as the 40's and are still killing them now (in the millennium) at the drop of a hat or the koran! yet the igbos are all over the north./i] 1 Like |

Onlytruth couldnt have said it better: WHEN MEN FINISH FIGTHING WOMEN TAKE OVER THE TALKING AND BRAGING PART. My uncle told me that during the war that the bulk of the nigerian soldiers were tivs,and he cant remember fighting any yoruba.The fact is that the biafra war brought the best out of ndi igbo,we came through it as wounded lions,full of desire for revenge but with more zeal to excel,after the war we lost ground in all aspect of human endeavour,but forty years later we have the lead in all aspect of human endeavour in this country,the only piece still missing is the political aspect,while we are at it,we must remember to learn from our history, as the years pass by,we are closely getting to the height we were before the war, and the envy that comes with that is once again present,as we can see with futile attempts by nigerians to paint igbo stars black,first emeagwali and now dora . We must not repeat the mistakes of the past,we must not underestimate the power of envy,we must get our house in order,we must be prepared for war when there is peace,we must know that after football a second unifying factor for nigeria is the common hatred for the igboman. |

jason12345: Here's your answer. Sharing.our belief that the The phrase 'any quarter' means excluding all. When a person uses that statement, he's also including himself. From the letter, it There wasn't any negotiations going on here. Banjo was released from prison, and put on that assignment of going to Lagos to capture Gowon for blockading Biafran waters. Banjo could have been executed, but was sent on that mission as a price for his release. It was the same thing Gowon did to Boro by releasing him from Kirikiri, and was sent off to war and not as Gowon's equal. Same thing happened with Ojukwu and Banjo. Dictating This was an assignment to launch an offensive using Biafran soldiers, so the commander-in-chief dictates how his soldiers will flush out the northern soldiers and for how long they allowed to be used. I think your other questions are related and somehow answered. |

jason12345: Yoruba na bolo right from time. What did your aszes do when the northern soldiers overtake your land? Awo dey beg Gowon make him remove them. Gowon shout for am say him no trust Yoruba soldier. What did Awo do when his request was turned down? He silently went back into his shell. The operation was to dislodge the northerners and take Nigeria's capital the way Nigeria captured Biafra's capital. |

Do you see any Tiv here bragging? NO. Do you see any Jukun, Idoma, Nupe or any of the northern minorities who constituted about 80% of the Nigerian infantry bragging here? NO! What you see are Yorubas whose land was already occupied by northern troops in 1967 without raising a finger. The same people are here yapping like byieeches in heat. I would repeat my advise to my Igbo brothers: IGNORE THESE people because they are irrelevant as far as Nigeria's militarism is concerned. Even the Ijaw command more respect in my eyes than these folks. At least some of them have fought for something against the Nigerian state even if marginally. When it was time for Yorubas to fight, they all ran to London and the few left were simply rounded up by Abacha and shot. Nothing happened. MSCHEEEW! I say Ignore them! |
Re: Why Blame The North And West For Biafra by AkinEgba: 2:16am On Dec 19, 2010 |
Onlytruth: If I, Yoruba man, did not run to London would I be here responding to you? But wait! Did my brother Diya not confront Abacha and even made Abacha's hit man (what is his name again) kneel down and cry? I tell ya it is better to be a coward Yoruba yoruba than a brave omo Igbo. |

Some of the kindest, most trustworthy, most godly, and most beautiful people in Nigeria are Hausa/Fulani. I am convinced that you have never had a close relationship with any Hausa or Fulani person in your entire life and your opinions about them are based on what you read on newspapers written by similarly bigoted “journalists” like you.

Aigbofa: Yes, abokis are all around you? But the question is, can your Yoruba butts stare them in the face. Throughout your bleeped up existence as almajiris of the south, have Yorubas ever asked why any of their kins was killed in the North. Aba boys have taken it upon themselves to take out all freaking abokis in Igboland if any of them touches Igbos without provocation. They were even gearing for reprisals during the Jos crisis, before they were told not to worry that Igbos only lost properties, and no lives. Was there any reaction in the whole of the SW? They moved on as if nothing happenned. Yet, you come here to say nonsense that your had Oyo Empire. Oyo Empire my a55. |

ndu_chucks: I am responding to the bolded because I understand the game you are playing more than you. Suffice it to say that my immediate family lived in Kano from 1938 to 1966. They returned briefly after the war and stayed till 1975. Believe me, you probably cannot find an Igboman with a better understanding of Hausa/Fulani mentality. You cannot understand what drives Igbo people to anger because you are IMMUNE to love and justice. You even kill the unborn. In all the years of Nigeria's crisis, I can't remember an Easterner killing a pregnant woman and cutting open her guts. You people have no equal in Africa. I'm not here to convince you. |
Re: Why Blame The North And West For Biafra by nduchucks: 2:43am On Dec 19, 2010 |
Onlytruth: You are associating random acts of violence including killing pregnant women, with the acts of a whole ethnic group!! As far as you are concerned, all Hausa/Fulani people are guilty of this act. Your statement is as bigoted and senseless, as stating that all Igbos are cannibals because a few Abriba people and some from your very own area, are known to love to eat human flesh. I repeat, repent! |
Re: Why Blame The North And West For Biafra by Onlytruth(m): 2:48am On Dec 19, 2010 |
ndu_chucks: You see my point? You are equating a SINGLE ACT by a mentally challenged individual with acts committed by THOUSANDS of marauding and rampaging group! How are they comparable? You organized a pogrom against another tribe, killing everything in your path including pregnant women, and you are here trying a convoluted logic. My friend you are really your father's son!

@Onlytruth, olodo. Continue trying to convince yourself that you are not bigoted - the truth is that you are very much bigoted and even the blind can see that. Merry Xmas in advance, though something tells me that you may be an animist or idol worshiper who would be a regular patron of Okija shrine, Nzukari shrine, Nwakodikpu shrine, and others like them. |
