They didn't come out openly to fight.
They came at night when people were sleeping.
Brave men will fight you when you are awake And stay to take whatever consequences that might result from it, not Striking at night And running like cowards when the battle line is drawn.
See, I am not in support of this ethnic violence but we should watch our words

HurtgenForest:


Yes I am happy that Biafra was defeated under the weight of Great Britain & USSR, I am indeed happy. This is history and I am not here to rewrite it. grin grin grin

We lost but more Nigerian soldiers died on the battle field than Biafran solders armed with bolt action rifles, lol cheesy cheesy

I hope you are also happy that female Dahomey warriors sacked yorubas from their villages such that they crowded themselves as refugees in Abeokuta.

I hope you are also happy that fulani annexed Ilorin and installed an emir till tomorrow.

[size=16pt]I don't have anything to ask a tribe whose soldiers were overrun by women, lol[/size]

No amount of chest beating or revisionism will change the fact that yoruba warriors were overrun by dahomey women and that Ilorin has been annexed by fulani.

faking Igbo moniker to console yourself is not good for your health

Time for a litte education.
If u are by chance lucky to have attended secondary school, u would atleast have learned a few things about precolonial Nigeria. It is the written history of Nigeria which is mostly dominated Northern Caliphates, The famous Benin Kingdom and the Oyo empire that dominates a large portion of west Africa which stretched from North Central Nigeria all the way to Dahomey, Togo and a part of Ghana. it takes a people with a high level of intelligence with critical thinking ability and most importantly lot of balls to achieve. Can't ever remember being thought anything about an Ibo war expedition outside their territory.

Let's come down to Post-colonial period. The history of Nigerian Army won't ever be complete without the mention of Adekunle Fajuyi, of Olusegun Obasanjo's role in the Biafra War, of Adekunle aka The Scorpion, of Tunde Idiagbon, these are men with big balls. Can't remember much of my Ibo counterpart except that of Aguiyi Ironsi and that of the rebel leader who failed the Nigeria Army and also failed his people.

Being consciously aware of your own strength and weakness and that of your enemies and friends and acknowledging it would be the greates thing you could ever do to help yourself and your tribe. Believe me, the Yoruba people are very much of on top of the situation in this realm and that's why we hold the balance in the country unity and survival. I case u still think they are cowards maybe you should go sit down with ur secondary school teacher again and ask her/him the impact of Awolowo in the Nigerian Civil War. The Yoruba people can still hit you where it will hurt more.

please be aware.

First comment on Nairaland .

egwekwe:
I read comments here. seeing how my kinsmen are chest beasting about saying they are more brave while calling another tribe coward.

If a free for all fight is to start today in Lagos,do you think we igbos have a chance?

Yoruba's have the Numbers and government support behind them.

Let us stop calling a tribe cowards and useless as this tribe has fought many wars in the past to defend it's territories .

louqas:


Come to think of it there was never any great empire/kingdom from iboland pre colonial Nigeria . Large empires and kingdoms that fought wars of conquest and expansion .
Ibos If there were any such in empire please let us know or some might just start thinking you all are a bunch of village warriors

Arclan07:
I can only imagine the only tribe in the world, who leaves his land goes to another mans land n want to claim ownership ,it's only the Igbo I wonder what set of human beings are this people the way they reason the way they do things, how can you want to displace the owner of his property n expect him to be at peace with you,all over the world you ppl r notorious for this same attribute ,you are the reason for xenophobia in south Africa ,same in Ghana,republic of Benin etc.this attitude of wanting to lord it over your host will get you no where ,you will perpetually be lamenting for Biafra which will never, I repeat never will see the light of the day, you ppl have no culture or moral values, you see nothing wrong in waking up your dad with a kick n this leaves one to believe the story that led to birth of these tribe it's actually a chimpanzee that raped a woman on her way to Enugun that birthed the first generations of the tribe called Igbo.

Hope you win your next War.

I am going to be straight up here. No bias and no bs. This is something thats been happening for far too long.
The plain truth goes...

Igbos don't like Yorubas. You can argue all you can, the record don't lie. Igbos only tolerate Yorubas, while the Yorubas accept the Igbos as equals and fellow citizen.

And there's this disturbing fact that always come about when misunderstanding between these two arises; the "biafra" issue. They always put in the "we should have our own country" bs.

Again, Igbos are angry people. Always referring to the Yorubas as dirty at the slightest opportunity. I think Buhari should give them Biafra for peace to reign. Igbos fight Hausas, Yorubas and any tribe that is non-Igbo. Very indrustrious peole, but too greedy and unwelcoming.

"Lazy, dirty, unreliable, untrustworthy and snitches" Really?

And how many of ur brothers, sisters, uncles, grand parents or sorry arse ancestors have ever entered Forbes?

Did I hear u say Zero? yes Zero, Nil, babu.

And that's why u and ur fake and substandard products importers can't stay at your umudim village cos u know ur sorry arse are gonna starve if u don't come to Lagos. Lagos is ur London, ur Milan, ur Hongkong, ur ghuanzou, and ur Taiwan.

We can decide to make it unbearable for ur silly arse by just changing land use law for non residence. That's just a thing among millions that can be used to make life unbearable for u.

alpontif:


Really!? So they should announce it on CNN that they are coming to attack you?

You people dont understand how to win Wars or battles or fights, at all.

And no, it is only idiots who will fight you when you are likely to defeat them, not Brave men.

MetaHuman:
see dumb post

Failure and a coward always looking for a reason for his failure..
Adekunle that roasts all beefraud army is from ussr or is it awolowo that brought the whole beefraud dream to his kneel by just a simple logic is from UK..
Even brefraud strike team was led by a Yoruba man before ojuku had him foolishly executed and lost the war and ran like a pvssy to Abidjan
Just imagine, just warlord at the only war fought by ibo is a renowned coward.

For the record, we lost Ilorin in a fair fight and not blame anyone else for our failure.. Plus we won so many wars also unlike you cowards .. And it doesn't mean the state belongs to Hausa and haffez or aminat is a Muslim name not Fulani name you ignorant beerfraudian.. Just like you bear Jude or peter.

Anyhoo, I have job to do.. Not gonna be responding to your stupidity for now.

lawani:
So let everybody join hands together to break up the country into ethnic nations. There are ten nations on Earth with population less than 70 thousand and they are full members of the UN. Igbos, Hausas, Yoruba, Idoma, Igala, Calabar run in their millions and they should be independent using their languages as official along with English with military and police made up of majority indigenes. This is what everybody must join hands to achieve. All Yoruba lands should be merged. All Igbo lands and all Hausa lands too,.

Mr3loader:
lol Demented brain @ work. South West cowards

Because I think differently from you makes me a fake Igbo man?.

No problem. Won't bother replying you and your type again.
