There are many things that man did but My main care is the abandonment property and the 20 pounds policy which impacted my family directly. By the way, before you start on the it is ojukwu's fault, it's ojukwu's fault. Ojukwu never declared Asaba as part of Biafra therefore alot of Asabaian did not change their money to Biafran notes (my family included) but that sure as heck did not stop Awolowo hence he's burning in hell.

veraponpo: My person, Awo would never roast in fire because he was fair to this country but pple like Ojukwu,Ironsi,Ezeogwu,etc will burn. Why? They killed 'all' nothern leaders and Yoruba leaders ONLY to put igbo leaders in power when our independence was just 6yrs. Always like to cheat other pple. Awo changed the currency because biafria had a different currency but they buggled CBN branched in the East and Calabar to fight Nigeria, Awo being,not just an collosus but also a sage changed the currency to make the stollen one useless. So, after the war,since Nigeria had already won,Chief Awo then helped all the people of Biafra to start a new life with 20 pounds, to avoid the arguement of i saved so so amount in the bank that had already been burned during the war.

And Thank God the ugly ones that were killed didnt go in vain.

They made sure 3million people suffered for it. Who lost at the ned of the day? Your senseless brothers killed 10 people

Your clan lost 3million people. Who lost? Aside from the killing, the malnutrition has als turned every Igbo man into daft being that they cant think straight

Senseless mor0ns. If your ill brought up soldiers couldnt find anyone in the tribe to kill , Benjamin Adekunle helped them to find it and he found 3m of them

Shoot at sight is what is befitting for roaches and ants

How come the founder of Nairaland is never celebrated or seen in public events in Nigeria? The likes of Linda Ikeji and founder of bellanaija are celebrated all over the world, is nairaland here to serve a certain tribe with manufactured propaganda? I ones thought Yo-robbers were sophisticated according to their media but since joining nairaland, I found out that they are one huge phony characters....Imagine people that never fought war coming here to rant, it pays to be a cheerleader ain't it?I remember IBB saying, If he was woken up from Sleep at night and was told that a Yoruba soldier is plotting a major coup to overthrow him, he will go back to sleep and not worry about it, I never understood what he meant till JUNE 12 and Diya coup happened. Most of the e-warriors here will never stop to amaze me....I pray Nigeria's division come to pass so we can know which region is comprised of parasites or sophisticated human beings.

CyberG:

You are sorely out of point with your post. The owner of NL is a private citizen like you and has no obligations to do whatever you or anybody wants but what HE WANTS. Now that said, the can you answer the question because most of the propagandized ibos here are too cowardly to face their past and answer the question. This is what should concern you and if you want to talk about robbers, coups, we all know who are the gold medalists in robbery, open your own thread. Now, go back and address the question like a proper man not a cowardly pussi.

Mr Everest: I laugh at the Yorubas making jest at Igbos, who told you guys that Yorubas have had a better deal in Nigeria? Since the end of the civil war, Yorubas have suffered the worst humiliation than any other tribe in Nigeria, Abiola won an election but the hausas said for were? They arrested him, disgraced him in prison and letter killed him! Diya was accussed of plotting a phantom coup, he was arrested, haranged, disgraced and condemned to death. Awolowo died a frustrated man, after he tried all he could to rule Nigeria. In the current dispensation, the Yorubas, a supposed major tribe, is not represented in the first six positions in Nigeria today, Igbos has 2 as well as the SGF and co-ordinating minister. The fact is Yorubas are suffering the worst humiliation and as cowards, they cant do nothing about it!

A typical Yo-robber man always economical with the truth. An intelligent response from some one above was for you to seek answer from an old soldier, we know the purpose of your fraudulent thread, always seeking for Oluwole publicity. You are very myopic,ignorant,biased and tribal to the core, I would advise you throw such slizzy questions to the likes of Sanusi and Farouk.Pretenders, yoruba armed robbers and ritualist are holding your people hostage, why not spend your energy in tackling such critical issues, slowpoke? Continue with your e-slander and instigation, we are all about our money rightnow and won't stoop too low like you low life. A Yo-robber man discussing war story is laughable bruv, stick to your backstabbing please. In the next 40 years another Yo-robber son will twist the june 12 and Diya coup for his gullible kinsmen to digest. The likes of Soyinka,Gani and Fela are preaching reconciliation, a washed up internet snitch like you is trying to fuel tribal hatred? If you don't have ulterior motive, carry out an independent research, read books written by non yo-robber authors and get your answers from there. Igbos are turning your parents to tenants in Lagos, are you brave enough to create a thread on that? Get a real job person

remark D: You are the real Real McCoy! The true son of your father that says it like it is!

The Cyber FOOL is not concerned about the real truths behind the war, but is more interested in twisting facts and the truth in a way that will support all his/their false notions. They believe repeating it over and over again and recycling the same lies: that Ojukwu was not betrayed by Awo; that Fajayi chose to die with Ironsi, or that the Igbos wanted to dominate/conquer the Yorubas and all what naught will give them a chance to sleep well at night knowing they had justifications (which are pure lies) for joining a war of aggression against a people seeking a just cause.

They know they screwed up big time, but they cant accept it because the aftermath has left us all worse off ... the Igbos faring slightly better than they are in spite of the huge losses they had economically. It seems they wish they had not fought the Igbos and declared Oduduwa then; but we all know it is easier to make excuses and pointing fingers at others.
.

It is on this nairaland that a Yoruba lady, Ileke.idi i believe, said she wishes Igbos will declare Biafra again, so that this time they will leave. i thought it was a joke until i saw another Yoruba say the same thing on another thread. Somehow they cant believe Awolowo was that treacherous. But the funny thing is that if they want their own country, why must they wait for the Igbos to take action first and make the same move?

Ojukwu believe Awolowo, if another Igbo believes and aacacts on the words or notions of another Yoruba (either the way they were calling for a coup against Jonathan... lol) or whichever way .... the Igbos will be the most foolish on earth to fall again to such treachery.

I have very progressive yoruba friends, the difference between my Yoruba friends and most of the jobless nuisance out here are,my friends are exposed to other cultures and refuses to allow tribalism influence their decisions.

CyberG:

So, tell us something that shows you can measure up in the intellectual department not just rants. Is it obvious that ojukwu and ibos only see BETRAYAL when Chief Awolowo who had nothing to do with their war did his rightful business and responsibility but ojukwu got all his assumptions wrong (just like when you are solving a 400 level calculus problem), you will only end up in disaster with an epic F? How does Chief Awolowo's address, rallying the Western leaders of thought, laying out a plan of action way before crises hits constitute a foundation for ojukwu's decision? When Lt. Col. Banjo bought into ojukwu's plan which served the interest of the ibo against his country and people, there's no shout of betrayal. Is it only ibos (I - i before others) that can always be betrayed when anything does not go according to their selfish plans? Guys, step up your game, because this is the truth and it will be rammed down into your throats except of course someone can show the signed agreement that ojukwu sent to Chief Awolowo and they both signed. Otherwise, it will be another ibo (I blame others) game.

phermonyx: D tin we lack ryt now in Nigeria ar good n courageos leaders like Zik. Awo, Ojukwu, Ahmadu Bello etc. Dey wia leaders dat had forsight n wia all abt d well-being of dia pple.
Tho, they had diff approach n philosophies towards a common objective wch is d welfare of dia pple, d good tin is dat dey had mutual respect for one anoda wch is somtin we grossly lack in our generation. Ojukwu respected Awo for who he wuz n d decisions he took and vice versa.
They wia pple of action n nt just talk talk like us and d funny tin is dat they did most of wht they did wen dey wia youths like us, Ojukwu wuz only 33 yrs of age wen he led d Biafrans(younger dan some of us dat cn only talk n engage in e-tribal war), he fought d real war.
Instead of just bragging n making mouth abt wch ethnic grp did dis or dat, y cant we emulate dis pple and do wht is right?
Dia ar tymz I read wht we say abt dis pple n feel like we are unworthy of talking abt dem?
We d southerners are hia doing nutin while d north disguised as boko haram kill our pple like fowls and we do nothing, cn we just sitdown n think wht wld av happened if our dear Ojukwu n Awolowo wia to be alive, d simple thing is dat dey wouldn't av taken d death of dia pple lightly.
My igbo n yoruba pple, is it dat we dont av leaders now like d pple of d 1960s? Be it igbo, ogoni or yoruba, we av a common enemy and dat enemy ar those at d elm of power (our leaders). Wch one of our present leaders is worth writing abt in our history for somtin good n memorable?
Why wld an average igbo man hate his yoruba counterpart n vice versa wen u cant actually hurt or harm each oda? We shld live in harmony and get wht rightly belong to us frm those selfish leaders.
Yoruba, Igbo n Ogoni leaders only think abt demselfs and dia family, nt u and I.
Am yoruba and I av friends frm SE, SS and SS dat I wld gladly fight for wen d need arises......be ur brother's keeper.

cosmatika: U've shown d height of ur stupidity in ur useless eponym for Igbo. It's IGBO and not ibo. Mumu. Yoruba(Yucky Obloquy Racial Ugly Barbaric Animals)

centje: cyberG. I stil advice you to desist frm what you r doing. U opened a thread with the intent to attack igbos. You asked a question. Ppl provided answers,u even careful avoided the one i provided,and went ahead to continue ur attack on igbos. Am nt surprise,ur jst continuing the media propaganda used after the war to tarnish the image of igbos. Buh i must tell u that great industrious,hard working ethnic group hv survived and will stil survive the test of time.

Malawian: There is something yoruba have not told us. You guys said you had no military and that the army in the west were northern soldiers right? Now, are you guys saying that the biafran liberation force led by banjo was side stepping the so called northern soldiers and killing yoruba civilians instead? Who were the soldiers in youruba land then? Northerners or yorubas? Who did the biafrans engage in ore? Northerners or yorubas? You have to tell us why you were against biafrans engaginging norther soldiers who were occupying your region if indeed they were northerners; if they were not northerners and indeed yoruba, tell us why you keep saying you were unarmed and why you were afraid to lead a struggle for your freedom? @ Cyberg, if you asked a question, wait for answer! Dont be running around this thread trying to control the discuss, that only show insecurity, and only cowards are insecure. Now you cowardly yoruba should answer the question i raised as not side step it again or like in cyberg's style, tell me to stay on the topic. One more thing, what were yoruba officers doing in biafran army? Were they held captives or were they there simple to betray?
