gidgiddy: If you can accept defeat as you claim, then why are you still reeling from it and unable to move on? The worst part is that you weren't a combatant in the war but harbour hatred from its outcome Not all battles need to become wars, some require strategy and skillful navigation to win without it resulting in armed confrontations 2 Likes |

Yaribanzaonic: What do you call a surrender to your enemies? The fact that Igboland and traditions are intact is proof that the Nigerian State aren't out to conquer you guys, contrary to all your claims of 'Fulani Jihad' You Igbos don't seem to understand the concept of interconnectedness of people, interwoven histories and a what unites a people You seem to have this racist view of the world at the core of your beliefs similar to nazism, jewish zionism, white supremacy etc, ideologies founded on the idea of being endangered, while simultaneously being superior and also violent/violence promoting Ilorin people have no problems forging their own identity, they're not insecure as you lots 3 Likes 1 Share |

Racoon:Who are the Nigerians that are burying the Igbos? In Nigeria today are the Igbos the most marginalised or the people suffering from injustice the most ? There injustice all over against different tribes ,it is not just Igbo people. You people are the biggest beneficiary of this Nigeria if you don't know. A time will come a referendum will be given to you people and get your Biafra soon. The bolded is funny hell no like you can do anything to Nigeria , separatist call or agitations, who cares, it is your region that suffers it , alot your people here in the north couldn't go for Christmas holiday this years. |

Just see your loyalty in slavish foolishness, to occupiers of your generational ancestral lands!! To imagine the EMIR represents all OBAs on the traditional council of traditional rulers!! you are pitiable...spits!! IMAGINE OWNING YOUR LANDS VIA CONQUEST..and you are ok with it, but you wanna banter with IGBO people?? Who the same Jihadist are serially cautious of, even from the Sultanate, that an IGBO dealt with Guy, its on record the Women warriors from dahomey killed your egbons.. ..pathetic!! just take a break and cry sorrowfully ...have ballz and be MEN.

Yaribanzaonic: I heard you Igbos didn't originally have Kings in your lands and that the ones currently existing were installed by the colonialists...why have you maintained them? Traditional rulers are the custodians of a people's history and culture. Ilorin's history and culture is embodied by the Emir of Ilorin, same goes for all the Obas in their domains Yorubas respect their traditional ways and customs, but realise their future will be forged through modern political systems and are forging an enviable one Yoruba administration evidently towers above Igbo administration, which is one of the reasons Yorubaland is more attractive to Nigerians including Easterners than Igboland is Yorubas have forged empires and already have a blueprint as to the extent of Yorubaland and its boundaries....Yorubaness is hence, never in question and that's why Yorubas and Northerners can have cordial relationships Igboland on the other hand has an identity crisis, IPOB believes Igboland extends beyond the Southeast into the SouthSouth, but those in the SouthSouth claimed by the Southeast reject them and their Igbo cause Long and short of it is, being abusive and verbally aggressive doesn't show you are brave, if anything, it's an affirmation of your weakness 2 Likes 1 Share |

T9ksy: I dont know of 179 Yorubas fighting in Ore, first Im hearing it. Bit assuming its true, what did you guys fight for. At least we were fighting for liberation, freedom and a separate country Did those 179 people you are talking about fight to keep a Northerner like Gowon safe in Lagos so that Gowon and his fellow Northerners can be masters of Nigeria? If that is the case, you fought for slavery. Look at the Nigeria of today and tell me those 179 fought for something noble |

IMEI: Looll you just want to do your usual Igbo Tribal banters,it's on record that the war was declared no Victor no Vanquish The War was not just territorial battle it was a War to stamp our Stand on intimidation and oppression,same thing you see Ukraine doing today. Igbo made her point loud and clear for 3years with the odds so slim,with the food blockade,with very little provisions. It was a War worth fighting. War's over,We have done well to heal and build up,you and ipob niggas can go ahead to continue doing una tribal gbasgbos na una sabi that one, after all na una passion and purpose of existing be that Ndigbo understands that We are not the first to fight a Civil War,We have therefore after coming back into the Union given our best to the progress of this Country in every sphere. An average Igboman is a true countryman,My Chinese friend use to say that the Igbos are His no 1 Nigerian,look around you and see for yourself,even after fighting a War against the Union,the Igbo Tribe still continue to give their all to the socio-economical development of this Country. Sports,Commerce, Education just name it. Equity, Fairness, justice is what Igbo calls for, same thing Oduduwa movement and Ijaw movement are calling for now. End Apc save NIGERIA Now.

gidgiddy: stop being obtuse. I have told you this myriad times but you continue to propagate your hate-filled opinion as fact. Yorubas did not fight for one Nigeria rather we fought, to keep you greedy, covetous folks off our ancestral land. After seeing what Ojukwu's Biafra Liberation Front did in the mid-west, what do you expect us to do? Please, Google "Ojukwu's letter to Banjo" and see for yourself what strategy ojukwu had in mind for us in yorubaland which he cleverly subsumed under the cloak of liberation. I wonder which one of our leaders then, begged Ojukwu to come and liberate us, when he hasn't rven liberated his own people, yet. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Uour so called South South and South East are all artificial creations just like Nigeria. Those who are Igbos know themselves, those who have identity crises will have to live with it The cause of all this are the British who brought us all together, we have all been fighting each other since then till now Someday, this unworkable union called Nigeria Nigeria will disintegrate, everyone goes their way and stop giving each other headache |

T9ksy: You mean after the Northerners had killed your military Governor, Lt Colonel Fajuyi, siezed Lagos, chased away a Yoruba man called Brigadier Ogundipe who was supposed to be the next head of state, and installed Gowon You people still thought that Ojukwu, who had declared Biafra and gone his way with his people, was the enemy? You people left the Northerners do all this to you, but your problem was Ojukwu who was after Gowon and his Northern cabal in Lagos? Ok oo |
Re: Remembering Colonel Nwobosi And What He Said About Nigeria's First Coup-pics by T9ksy(m): 9:07pm On Jan 18, 2023 |
gidgiddy: Why would Brig. Ogundipe want to be the HOS when the constitution he swore on, on resuming his post, did not make any provision for the post of HOS. You erroneously assume everyone is as morally bankrupt like you folks. Oh, so ojukwu had declared Biafra and gone his way,ba? In that case, wtf was his urchins doing in Ore? Abi Ore is part of Biafra, ni? Ojukwu should not have brought his stupid war with the Northerners to our shore. That was his greatest undoing. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Remembering Colonel Nwobosi And What He Said About Nigeria's First Coup-pics by gidgiddy: 10:12pm On Jan 18, 2023 |
T9ksy: So Ogundipe forgot the constitution when he became no 2 man to Ironsi? And Obasanjo did not remember this portion of the constitution when he became military head of State? The truth about I see now is that Yorubas would have been glad to bend over backwards and let the North do whatever they liked to them. Thats why Fajuyi was slaughtered like a Chicken, Ogundipe chased away to London, Lagos seized and and and Gowon who was junior to Ogundipe, Ojukwu and Banjo, was imposed on the rest of Nigeria But as soon as Ojukwu stepped into Ore, Yorubas suddenly developed a sense protection of their land which they never had with Northerners "The North can mess me up, but Igbo will never mess me up" Sweet |

christistruth01: Is what everyone of them should do, you've wronged many people, just let bygones be bygones. But, you always trying to dig up that history and then masking that crime in a noble garb will always draw repercussions. Say for example, a close person was murdered, the killer was captured but released after reaching a truce, but man goes ahead trying to portray his actions in the best way there is; something everyone should regard and hail him for. The murder was not enough, he now wishes to spit on their graves too. Haba. Action and reaction are equal and opposite. 1 Like |

gidgiddy: I have always known that the bolded above is why you igbos truly hates yorubas. Just for the mere reason that we refused to be manipulated by your moronic and myopic elite. Ojukwu, prior to the commencement of the civil war had his mercenaries flying planes to drop leaflets in lagos imploring yorubas to rise up and chase heavily armed and bloodthirsty fulanis from lagos with.............sticks and stones. So, because we didn't take their bait, they call us cowards.Ojukwu probably thought the same hence why he was very quick to send his ragtag BLF (biafran liberation Ftont) to our region ostensibly to liberate us when no-one asked for his aid. Ojukwu underestimated yorubas - hence why he lost the war. |
