And what happened when Awo personally visited him persuading him to reconsider his stance on going to war? He's was stubborn and adamant. He underestimated the might of the Nigerian soldiers and thought its going to be a cakewalk for the biafran soldiers. Same thing is happening on Nairaland; you are underestimating the Yoruba's, calling us cowards. Everyone makes mistake but only fools makes the same mistake twice. Rule no 1 in any game is 'Never underestimate your opponent'
Our kindness and gentleness is being taken for a weakness. In the event of any war, we will show you again the stuff we are made of.
We were neutral during the war not until ojukwu invaded ore, a Yoruba land and you expect us to give me a pat on the back.

SonOfEl:

my ojukwu has no trust for double-tongued individuals irrespective of their intellectual leanings, so save yourself the long explanation.

dozzybaba: The battle at Ore capitulated because a Cowardly yoruba soldier Col. Banjo led the Lagos-bound troop from Biafra, the man simply got into ore, inhaled some zinc oxide from the rusted roof and surrendered to the federal, hardly was any shot recorded. When a yorubaman leads you to battle, you'll lose without firing a single shot. The illorin emirate comes to mind.

I think Ojukwu was too diplomatic trying to make friends with the yoruba by appointing one of their own as the commander of the Lagos-bound troop. If he had sent military tacticians like Col. Achuzia aka Biafran hannibal or even Col. Ogbogu kalu, Lagos would have been overrun in matter of days. He didn't treat yorubaland like an aggresor that it was. That's the only disagrement i had with Ikemba's tactics and i believe the lesson's have been learn't-Even if the enemy hides in your brother's house to throw stones into your compound in connivance with your brother, "Your brother" should be treated as a pure enemy. No sentiments in war. Even the North koreans killed their South korean brothers when the Americans were 'throwing stones" from the south.

This singular mistake should not be repeated in any future war....An enemy is an ENEMY..no half-enemy, no half-friends in Wars .

ilugunboy:



You can't get over hanging around me..

ilugunboy:

Shut up!

What feeding regime are you talking about.....they don't go for food in days...weeks or months?

You guys will start finding the reasons for you misadventure when you start asking the appropriate questions and not blaming your woes on other Yorubas.

T9ksy:


Ol' boy, i think your analysis of the impending war is totally wrong. This time around, there will be no alliance in the south as in, we yorubas will not align with you ibos rather we will fight to protect the territorial integrity of our ancestral land.

As long as ibos don't send their boys down to our region, claiming they are coming to liberate us, then we have no quarrel with you.
Just stay in your own lane and we will stay in ours.

ilugunboy:

Yes...Ibo land is still standing in a landlocked position...nothing changed.

ilugunboy:

Bitter kid...

I feel your pain and anguish...pele

lorRhyMeZ: ....I just siddon dey look...

As a Northerner

AlfaSeltzer:

But the way you people use yolobar peeps mehn.
Even after their degenerate scorpion took southern oil fields, your people just came and shared the oil wells amongst yourselves. Nothing for the yorubaman. You people wicked o.

dozzybaba:

hanging ke?

i just don't want you lamenting and preaching against "tribalism" on one hand and when we look away you are back to your vomit...

Thought you said you quit the game?..Difficult to keep your principle...eh?

Anyway, your cup of tea. I will be standing to attack anytime. You can count on that...

You know how my arrows pierce hearts..'cos you know

harde2lah:
Bring it on you foolish old man and we will open the front door for you and miserable family and let you meet satan.

customized07: I know you, you are a standardized liar, you keep telling us how your dad has three fictional houses. No one will beat you if you don't tell us that , you knw?

doublewisdom: The blood on Awolowo’s hands will drip down to his 7th generation. The case of Olu of Warri comes to mind. A big time confusionist he was. No wonder he has a transgender in his family. He also died a bitter man.

whitecat007: You really are talking about your great great grand father here, it clearly can't be Awolowo.

gratiaeo: Only if Britain, America, Russia, Canada, Germany etc will not team against Igbo again.
Yoruba have 2 reclaim Irorin from Fulanis first before we can count them

tit: it will not be two fighting.
Yoruba will say to ibo: I will beat you ooo.
Again

gratiaeo:
Use your useless shakabula and chase Fulanis out of Ilorin. Idioot

ebankole:

This dude Rock mehn.....
wow

shout out to all my Oduaa people.

The worst thing about the battle of Ore which Yorubas do not realise is that it was actually the last hope of the Yorubas to ever be emancipated. Victor Banjo declared the republic of the mid-west after capturing that territory. He would have declared the Republic of Oduduwa had the Yorubas had the Spine to help him capture the west and Lagos. It was a Golden opportunity to throw off the northerners and liberate the entire south Nigeria from the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy that ran the Nigerian nation into the ground. But what did the Yorubas do? They chose the role of 'lackeys' of the north and did all they could to frustrate that venture in their desperate bid to remain in the geographical prison yard called Nigeria. The Yoruba man has all but lost all sense of self determination. It is on record that in Nigeria,the Yorubas are the only people who have never taken up arms against the northern oligarchy. Even their officer corps have never conducted a coup but a common major called Orkah from the south-south almost changed the course of Nigeria. It was the great Bob Marley that sang "Emancipate your self from mental slavery". It almost sounded like he was singing to the Yorubas.

AkinEgba:

These days numbers don't mean much in war; the level and sophistication of ammunition at your disposal do. Moreover, the only way the Islamic North will come down south to fight is if they get encouragement from one or more betraying groups from the south. If the south bands together or at least do not betray each other by one group joining with the North to fight other southerners, then its a different story out there than you are telling us now.
