ekenedegreat: The bearded monkey is hero to gullible fools like you. Your parents are mumus and reason they also see ojuiku of cursed memory as hero. Hero that ran away from battle, hero that lost 3m of his people and lost non of his family members. Hero that came back to Nigeria to contest election in same country he fought and lost 3m flatt.ies. You are all muguns and accursed fools. 5 Likes

LubricatingOil: You mean the work of Alabi Isama that adekunle took credit for? You mean the only general known to be demoted from his rank during a war? You mean the general that was no where in site in all the cities they claimed he took but rather he stole credit from his troops men after hiding away in lagos? You mean that coward that loud mouthed but couldn't back it up? That one? The point was that he was not listening to me. When he was not listening to me, we were losing men. From Calabar to Port Harcourt, Adekunle was not there. He was in Lagos trying to get supplies so that when we get to Port Harcourt, we regroup, reorganise and move on.A statement from Alabi-Isama about Adekunle, the loud mouth. 1 Like |

LubricatingOil: The Igbos felt bad that the Ikwerres that sold them lands looked the other way, while the Ijaws claimed those lands, It was shortsightedness on the part of Ikwerres, they were so fixated on being a part of the the New Rivers state that they were too eager to please the Ijaws the Lords of the old Rivers state and the favorite of the Odua-Arewa gang up then, little did the Ikwerres suspect the Ijaws long term plan. The Ikwerres for a short term gain, abandoned their brothers( Igbos of SE) and ultimately shot themselves on the foot. Now they must share PH with Ijaws, if peace is to reign in Rivers. 1 Like |

superstar1: I expected this ediot to name the cities but alas like a bonafide illiterate Yoruba ranting, just to rant, he couldn't . Did I expect an untraveled buf00n to know what he speaks off, honestly I didn't. You did exactly as I expected. When you upgrade yourselves to maybe even the 5th class you listed Igbo maybe, just maybe then your ranting will be considered. If you are still beneath others and and even when you tried to push yourselves foward for the first time EVER in history; your master's came out and verbally dropped una past the 8th citizenship you were orginally in and dropped una down to 10th citizenship and labeled una secretly as the only known as the tribe to use and dumb, I'm still wondering why a 5th citizen would pay attention to a used and dumped 10th citizen? Just explain to me why? Currently your 10th citizen leaders are crawling and trying to blackmail those 5th citizen to assist una in getting a speakership role you should have gotten without even groveling after all the @ss licking, cherry piping una did for the north. Since the last election, all they doing is slapping una left and right showing us how much they truly see una and what do we get from you people? Nothing but Loud mouthing, groveling, trying to force a man that called himself fulani to yoruba and trying to blackmail SS and SE politicians to assist una. A 10th citizen slave, known as the toilet of Nigeria, will always be a 10th citizen slave. Despite trying to pull yourself up, you got dropped down further single handily by your slave masters. Too comical. Beyond laughable cause they've done that several times Killed 3 millions without doing anything. Go and recheck your Nigerian history book, your Nigerian soliders were killed more than biafran soliders. They even had less weapons. at least every region when they feel shifted have fought against those that shifted them. SS crafted mend during the problems administer by Nigerians. SE created biafra and bakassi boys during the problems administered by Nigeria. North created Boko Haram during their own perceived problem while SW is the only tribe beaten blue and black by northerners multiple times and Nothing, nads. Even Ijaws have kicked una @sses in Ondo state and are ready to do so again and still nada. Infact they've been threatening una since the elections and still NADA from you people. An igbo leader have called yoruba every name he can think of from amala ewedu politicians to unimportant to no mans lands and majority of the times in your lands, and still nada GEJ called your leaders pretty much worthless and nothing happened. PEJ insulted una in your f2king lands and in her own lands and nothing happened. Even that your oba despite his threats, couldn't stand by his words and started denying it like a typical yoruba coward And when the video appeared, he started trying to spin the story like once again, a typical yoruba coward. Not only did he prove how much a coward he is, he became the laughing stock of the entire Nigeria population. The most disrespected ruler and elder known to men. Even the youths used his words to mock him repeatedly during and after the elections and currebtly, he is still been made the laughing stock. Even your own kings are classified least among every king in Nigeria hence ppl disrespect them to their face and nothing. Sh1t, few years ago we learned how low the north viewed your obas. we learned they bribed them to keep them quiet after killing one of your own, just disrespectful, and like the greedy lots they are, they actually took the bribe. Shame!!! Upgrade yourselves to even the 5th citizenship maybe just maybe then your opinions would be valued. Infact just upgrade yourselves back to the 8th citizenship sef 3 Likes |

SonOfEl:hahahhaa. I laugh in swahili. You igbos are the biggest joke in the history of Nigeria. You started a war and lost badly. The bullets of the Nigerian army and starvation almost ravaged your entire tribe. If not from Gowon and Awolowo you igbos would have been extinct by now. Stop ranting here on nairaland and stop pushing for biafra and let's see where you and your kind will end up. The deepest part of the lagoon awaits you and your people if you do not desist from trying to unsettle innocent and hard working people to join your foolish cause. It's not Nigeria that has marginalized you but rather you and your useless leaders that represent you. Your leaders have failed you not Nigeria. By the way I've got my own money so I don't need to live in an abandoned property. |

LubricatingOil: That statement made no sense I gave you a comment from a member FROM ADEKUNLE platoon. The 2nd in command in Adekunle barracks Abd you giving me the word of a foreigner from his interview he got from Adekunle. Lmfaooooo Let me repeat the comment from his man The point was that he was not listening to me. When he was not listening to me, we were losing men. From Calabar to Port Harcourt, Adekunle was not there. He was in Lagos trying to get supplies so that when we get to Port Harcourt, we regroup, reorganise and move on. Let see who to believe? A man that fought alongside adekunle or a man that didn't? Not a hard task considering during Adekunle burial, he was giving the least, poverty ridden, burial known in Nigeria military. On top of that, apart from few yoruba politicians that grazed their way, not one noble non yoruba politician came to bid their farewell. Even non yorubas in his platoon didnot visit and all this should have happened if he indeed was the hero as yoruba tried to claim and pass. We all know una spin stories. Afterall, we witnessed it this few years when una tried to create a karate styled fighting to OBJ'S son after getting shot in the @ss by BH. Only for a member from his platoon coming out to tell us the nigg@ was shot in the @ss while running away. 2 Likes 1 Share |

superstar1: Let me just repeat usman statement “The entire south-west just contributed about 500,000 votes which is smaller as compared to what the entire Zamfara, delivered to GMB not to even call states in the Northeast or Kano” Even the North knows how uunimportant yorubas were. For both president aspirators, SW gave the least vote to both. With or without SW, GMB would have won----pure undiluted FACT. what GEJ messed up at and I bet you he realizes this now is disregarding to bring MB into his fold rather than wasting his time with SW. What check mated him is MB and even the North knows this that's why they are currently trying to bring them back to Northern folds hence currently trying to appease them and not giving a licking @ss about their SW slave. They know you'll always be obedient hence they not even trying. The 10th citizen, use and dump, slaves will always be a 10th use and dump slaves. IBB learned by force? you mean the same IBB that stated if he's woken up and told yorubas are throwing a coup, he'll just go back to sleep. You mean the same IBB? Ojukwu? you mean the same ojukwu that took back his father's property from una despite your leaders fighting him left and right? You mean that same ojukwu Abacha? You mean the same Abacha that killed your leaders more than any other region leaders during his leadership. You mean that same Abacha?

mulattoclaro: Colonel Oyinlade Iluyomade (rtd) is a civil war veteran, renowned for his role in curtailing the onslaught of the Biafran army at Ore, Ondo State. Your role during the civil war, particularly how you curtailed the onslaught of the Biafran soldiers at Ore has been spoken about by fellow military men like General Alabi Isama, what exactly happened at the war front? When the civil war commenced around June to July 1967, I was based in Ibadan where I commanded a small unit. But I joined the military in 1952 with Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and Sani Abacha, who were my colleagues. I was sent to India for military training to be commissioned as Infantry, that is, to fight wars. The war started from the north, but it got to a point when the Biafran soldiers wanted to break through and conquer the West, they believed that if they conquered the West, it would be easy for them to manoeuvre their way through to the North. So, they wanted to break through Ore into the West, then straight to Lagos. But, at the beginning of August, I was despatched to Ore village to act as Security Officer, to ensure internal security and, to make the civilians aware of the presence of the federal troops. I was there with 33 soldiers. Later, Biafra captured Mid West, and arrived in Benin. This meant that their next target was the West. So I was told by then Colonel Olusegun Obasanjo, who was the Commander in Ibadan, to move to Ore border, which is about 19 miles to Ore village. Then, I moved there that night but I told Obasanjo that I was ill-equipped to curtail the Biafran attack. What can 33 soldiers do? So, he promised to reinforce and he did keep to his promise. Then, our total strength grew to 179 soldiers to defend the place. I had premonition of danger and when I got to Ore, I deployed my troops towards the Western region. The bridge at Ofosu was the boundary, so I went ahead to survey the area to know the mountainous and forested areas. And I deployed my troops, so if there would be an attack on the West, they would have to cross the bridge. So I safeguarded the bridge and gave my troops instruction not to allow anybody cross over. By that time, there was an instruction that I shouldn’t allow anybody into the West. After deployment of troops, I rose up from my trench at about 12 midnight, it started to rain heavily, but I told the troops not to leave their trenches. So, we dug in. Then, when I saw the skyline of the vehicles of the Biafran soldiers coming towards us, I shouted that no one should fire except me. And the battle started minutes past midnight. But the bridge was so heavy that they could not penetrate. If they had known that we had a small number, maybe they could have made the effort to penetrate. So we confused them, the place was well secured and we never lost any soldier. One can deduce from your exploits then that you were proactive and strategic in battle, do you observe such qualities in today’s military operation? I was the only officer, the others were other ranks so I commanded them. I don’t know how the current Army is deployed and how they work. But, the way I look at them now, I would not want to comment but they know how they operate. But, in our own days, we were tough and well-trained; we were dedicated and had the ability to withstand any odd. Are these qualities lacking in today’s Army? I would not say they are lacking. I think money now has a great role to play. Money is used to dampen soldiers’ professionalism. If soldiers know that money is now so much available, you can understand their current thinking. Moreover, those who fought well during the civil war were not compensated. Those that did not fight at all were the ones promoted. Those who ran away were promoted. I would not want to mention names. I recall you once complained that you were never promoted to the position of a General? I was not promoted, even to the position of a full Colonel. Maybe because I am a Yoruba man, I can say this boldly anywhere. Look at what happened to late Benjamin Adekunle, for example. Who fought the civil war more than Adekunle? But, he was neglected, Why? The exception was Akinrinade that managed to become the Chief of Army Staff. Ariyo was driven away, someone just placed a letter on his table that he was retired; he never saw the person. What offence did he commit? Just because he was Yoruba; so many Yorubas, like that, were neglected. Nothing was given to us. It is very terrible. The force is dominated by the north and they want to continue to enjoy the largesse of the military. They claim that Yorubas have many engineers, lawyers, doctors and other professionals hence we should not wrest the military from the Northerners. We are still angry with how we were treated; we just bottled it up. And from the beginning till end of the war, people like me never left the war front. I was one of the five brigade commanders that ended the war. You have bottled up your anger for so long, is it time for you to let out this anger as you now have a fellow soldier, also from the North, now elected as President? No, Buhari is a nice man, he is a fellow military man. He is an amiable man, a very nice man, plain-hearted, a gentle man to the core. I know him. You seem to know Buhari so well, can you tell us more about the Buhari that you know. I worked with Buhari when we were together in Marine Commando. He was GOS next to the General Officer Commanding and I was Divisional Training Officer, I was training and teaching other ranks. That was where I met Buhari. He was very nice, amiable to people. He was also a wonderful Head of State and he is a disciplinarian. He does not condone nonsense and I love him. You have claimed to love Buhari so much, however, Nigerians would only love him so well if he lives up to expectations. Do you think he can live up to the high expectations of Nigerians? Why not? To become a Major, you are well-read, hence you can tackle any problem. Mobolaji Johnson was a Major when he was appointed Administrator of Lagos. To become a major, you would have passed through the Staff College, attended several trainings, taken exams, attended different courses, partook in seminars to brush you up and acquire intelligence. Military men also read personally. I have a personal library where I have good books. I read on military, politics, philosophy among other aspects of life. Winston Churchhill read up to Class 4 and became the Prime Minister of Britain and the whole Commonwealth. And he led the Commonwealth military to victory. Adolf Hitler read only up to Form 2 level and he wanted to conquer and rule the whole world. What audacity other than the fact that he read wide. It is not about having a PhD; what is PhD to us? We read wide. Do you canvass for the inclusion of retired military men in the new government? Yes. For example, if I become a minister in Buhari’s government, my ministry will shine. Consider Brigadier General Samuel Ogbemudia in Bendel, he developed Bendel. Which governor has developed Bendel, now Edo State, the way Ogbemudia did till date? None. He was a military man. Back then, money was not the issue, but we fought to win the war. It was about being a real man. What about fears that the dictatorial tendencies of military men, if largely involved, will be laid bare in our democratic practice? The world is civilised and there is no more dictatorship. Democracy is practised around the world now. There is no country that practices dictatorship that will progress. A civilian should come up with policies that are beneficial but where the civilians fail, there may be the need for. For example, there is no reason all roads in the country should not be tarred. We should have water, electricity. Why can’t we have adequate power supply in the country? We lack dynamic leaders. We have voted them in now. Rather than for some of them to better the country, they will be after enriching themselves. What for? It is out of lack of imagination. But, I have confidence that Buhari will deliver. I can shout on top of my voice about this. http://tribuneonlineng.com/content/how-my-troops-stopped-biafran-soldiers-ore-%E2%80%94col-iluyomade-rtd |

Oladipo Diya didn't see what Ojukwu saw but he was crying before a recruit despite being a general. 4. Abiola thought Igbos will fight his war when Bobo Nwosisi and Ralph Obioha stood by him while his people deserted him, when the two Igbomen left him he was killed like a cheap rat and his wife like a bed bug after marathon of sex on her by poor Fulani talakawas. 5. Obasanjo didn't even step on any feet, he didn't dream of planning any coup because he got no guts to do such, but he was picked up like a dirty rag and dumped inside a prison for close to a decade, while the same Gudali that tormented him made him a figurehead president and rule from Sokoto.
