9ja_I_hail: When people kept blaming awo for been the problem the southern Nigeria had yoruban's will rise up for his defense,do anyone noticed through what a true yoruba son said on this article? Fifthly it was the lie that Gowon and the northern leaders fed to Awolowo that he would be made President of the country after the war and after being effectively being made de facto Prime Minister under Gowon during the war that got Awoloo to support them.Kill yourself if you want , Awolowo did what was best for his people, I will the same thing if I'm in the situation repeat itself only this time we will make sure not one ibo survive. I say shame to your people from geration to generation. 2 Likes |

onomeasike: if you read the history of the Yorubas,you will know they are naturally gifted in the art of war.They even had their own civil war before the Nigerian civil war!they constitute the greatest number of Africans recruited by britian for the first world war(see BURMA BOY by Philip Barnaby of Aljazeera.Clearly,they are more war-tested than their southern neighbours.It is not an accident that even the biafran forces that made the greatest impact in the biafran war was led by a Yorubaman .Clearly,that it took the Yoruba stopping him was not an accident.A northerner would never had matched the sophistry of Banjo!! He resigned to prepare for the illusive handover. |

you paint the picture that Awolowo had a choice to do otherwise, first he was jailed for treason (a crime he did not commit ) by the north secondly he was compelled to join northerners in the war as against his desire to remain neutral Epalos: [Awolowo] went to Ibadan and gathered all Yorubas that they should know the war about to commence was between the North and the East, and the Yoruba in the West were not part of it,” he said. Kill yourself if you want , Awolowo did what was best for his people, I will the same thing if I'm in the situation repeat itself only this time we will make sure not one ibo survive. I say shame to your people from geration to generation. The same thing happened to both Obasanjo and MKO , they were jailed by the grand children of the people who made the above statement for crimes they did not commit and were later released but this time there was no Nzeogwu to strike.

PROUD-IGBO: First bolded - How did Awo allow Federal forces to be headquartered in Lagos? Was Awo the head of state? What forces were in Lagos? The Lagos Garrison Office had already been moved to join the war when the Biafrans invaded the mid-west. Second bolded - Its funny how you guys always think that others are trying to compete against you and that you are ahead of others. 1 Like 2 Shares |

When the AG sacked Akintola as its premier, was it not Zik's NCNC that started the commotion in the Western House of Assembly, breaking the mace in the process, and leading Balewa to declare state of emergency in the West?

An old goat talks rubbish, a less old goat retorts on Facebook of all places and so called intelligent people make a storm out of it. No region owed any favours to any other region. Chaos happened and opportunists tried to gain advantage, some won, some lost. The people paid with their lives. Fact: the military elite in the 60s fell out with each other; Fact: there was a war; Fact: the war was won and lost; Fact: we are all still poor and enchained by the military elite; and Fact: we still prefer to insult each other rather than squarely face this military elite. 3 Likes |

naijaking1: Thanks for the education Mr. Fani-Kayode. For a million years here on N/L, many people have argued, confused, and tried to amend pure history, and the truth which you have spoken about, namely: 1. I am still waiting for one of you chaps to provide supporting data for this agreement to form Odua or secede with Biafra 2. Biafran forces were advancing on the SW; unless you want to argue that no one died from Biafrans advance through the mid-west to Ore, then the SW had every reason to resist the Biafran advance. 3. Where did you get this? Are you also relying on Fanikayode? 4. Please provide more data on these events in 1973 and 1976 I don't get your point with linking Afonja, Gowon, Awo, and OBJ; do you care to elucidate further? As for your comment about OBJ not having a clue, then you clearly do not understand that OBJ is one of the smartest operators Nigeria has ever seen. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Yeske!: I don't need to ask anyone anything; you are the ones taking the words of a nonentity as gospel. You guys make assertions and when you are asked to support it, you revert to 'go and ask northern elder or Fani-kayode'. I ask again, how and when was Kwara conquered? With all this talk of Kwara, one would think Kwara was under foreign occupation. And what if Kwara was conquered? What great nation hasn't had part or all of its territory under foreign occupation. 1 Like 2 Shares |
