The main problem with the igbos is that, though they are quite smart, they make the erronous mistake in assuming that others are dumb. The sh.it that they won't accept from anyone, they will try imposing it on others and when the people turn it down, they become abusive whilst also distorting the facts.



Exactly my bro. They would not allow bullshit yet they would want to try it on other people. Eg the mid west. Etc. Yet thry wanted the ss in their biafra. LET ME HEAR ANOTHER BIAFRA RUBBISH AGAIN IN NIGERIA. I WOULD DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE SURE THEY ONLY TAKE THEIR LANDLORD TERRITORY! It's soo annoying. Do what u like others to do unto u!

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]

About 3/4 of your posts are centred around Biafra-related topics, yet you come here to claim that you were being accused without facts. I've got nothing against you o, dont get me wrong. But I had to protect my reputation over my observation that I posted, and requested that they be proved.

Re: Why Blame The North And West For Biafra by vicenzo(m): 12:45am On Dec 19, 2010
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:

My problem is that from the letter it can be deduced  that ojukwu wanted to rule the south including yorubas an the ijaws!


Here's your answer.

Sharing.our belief that the
people of Yorubaland have a
right to live a life of equality and
self-respect and justice free of
domination and dictatorship
from any quarter

The phrase 'any quarter' means excluding all. When a person uses that statement, he's also including himself.

From the letter, it
can be said that he was power
drunk! Why negotiate with banjo
not awo?

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
terms with the west and mw?
Something, I wonder how people
think?

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.

can you imagine the insult! Ne wants to colonize the yorubas! The man is so senseless! Even the ijaws could perceive the insult not to talk of the yorubas. The hausa, fulanis and us have cultural and historic ties compared with this ojukwu man. How can a man the cannot control his people control an empire that stretches from Nigeria to east Togo!

Weren't the Ijaws under his rule before that time? Guy, dey check your content before you post nau!

When did yorubas or mid west tell ojukwu or igbos that they needed liberation? If igbos cal that betrayal then we would be betraying eachother for a very long time! Liberation my arse!

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.

You people are living in a fantasy world. Northerners will never dare target Yorubas. There are too many of them in Yorubaland, ( i.e Kwara ) besides, they have been in peace with Yorubas now for over a century.

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.

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.

quote from Araba by ndu_chucks:


This is an eyewitness account of Araba, which took place in kaduna before the civil war. Araba means (let's share it) in hausa. Chuckwuma Nzeogwu led a coup wherein the most revered leader of the northerners, the Sadauna of Sokoto was killed while he slept. Sadauna had a home in Kaduna which was bombed by the coupists resulting to the cold blooded murder of Sadauna and the members of his family who were at the house during the bombing. This singular act of murder did not sit very well with Sadauna's subjects - they believed wholeheartedly that the coup was carried out by Igbos and was a declaration of war in which a retaliation was mandatory.

The following is a miniaturized account of an eyewitness to one such retaliatory act.

The elders decided on a day in which a house to house search would be conducted in Kaduna, for Ndigbos who had not yet fled the city. Every suspect would be shown the old three pence, and asked to identify the coin. Three pence was called Toro by all and sundry in kaduna, the Igbos however pronounced Toro as Tolo. Once a suspect is found and identified as Igbo by anyone in the Araba mob, he/she was summarily beaten to death, burnt in some cases, and all of the belongings found in the victims' houses were looted (hence Araba). Those that pronounced toro as tolo were also summarily beaten to death.

The mob went from street to street, house to house, in search of Igbos, killing the unlucky ones that could not escape.

Re: Why Blame The North And West For Biafra by Onlytruth(m): 2:54am On Dec 19, 2010
So, ndu_chucks, here you go. Please I don't know how to pronounce Toro.
I call it Tolo. Please don't hack my head off after being your next door neighbor for 32 years!  cry cry cry

@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.
