The pain in the heart of most Igbos is the role played by the Yorubas during the civil war.


Whatever Ojukwu and Awolowo discussed in secret, I don't know but what the public is aware of is that Awolowo said that if the east was allowed to secede the west would follow suit. Ojukwu ended up declaring the east a free and sovereign country but Awolowo refused to declare the west side a soverign country. To make matters worse, he joined the north to fight against us and the most painful part is starving many of our innocent women and children to death. We are not bothered about casualties on the battle field but the starving of our children coming from him.



Another Yoruba man, adekunle took it so personal to point of shooting women and children at the outskirts of Biafra. This man said that he didn't want to even see the Red Cross trying to help something even the Hausa/Fulani did not say!


Personally I feel the Yorubas should apologise to us for these.

To set the records straight, Igbos don't hate Yorubas because if we did, we would not be marrying you every day.


I am an Igbo man and I can tell you that this is the pain in the heart of Igbos agaisnt the Yoruba other than that, all is fine.

Can we all please bury the hatchet and move on? Jeez!

Shit whats dis poo dis op is talkin abt

The joke of the century.
call AMPAS to claim your Oscars.

All these Igbos that feel they should be politically correct only end up bringing ridicule to us

OP bú otu imātu

This fellow has just woken up since he slept shortly after the end of the civil war. Could someone tell him that Nigeria has moved away from hate and bitterness ever since?

first of all I also want you to know that Yoruba's don't hate igbos (forget the NL jokes) secondly most of the people involved in the civil war have passed away, yes igbos felt betrayed by awolowo, same as some Yoruba's claim of ojukwu invading ore which is seen as part of Yoruba land.. my best friends are igbos...i for once don't hate igbos I see them as family, yes it's becoming clear now the rate the two tribes are marrying themselves is on the increase. so what matters most is for we the new generation to let go of the past and face the future together, only a clown will say Yoruba's and igbos are friends,infact they are families now due to the inter marriages... plssss it's time to move on.

I laugh in OSU

How can a proud and successful group like the Yoruba's apologize to a group of akpu eating OSU's . Awolowo and co did the best to safeguard the interest of the Yoruba's . If not for the valour and nobility of Adekunle and co , who knows maybe I ll be bearing Chike or Obi by now . APOLOGIZE KO , APOLOGIZE NI !!!

stop this Igbo /Yoruba thread up on thread.Are you people not tired?

The bold is what i wish to address. the remainder is meaningless gibberish

AWO DID NOT TELL OJUKWU THAT NONSENSE!! Awo made a speech to the members of the western region house of assembly and to paraphrase him, here's what he said ''EVERYTHING must be done to ensure that the eastern region doesn't leave the union. In the case that the eastern region, by acts of omission or commission of the federal government is ALLOWED to leave, the western region too will leave''

I will not try to explain that statement here but i expect that any half intelligent person who has a little ability in comprehension should be able to explain that to himself but just know that Nigeria is a tripod with north, east and west. the moment one leaves, those who have common sense know that the other 2 will crumble. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out.

also Yoruba no good but it's on record that only YORUBAS KEPT IGBO PROPERTY FOR THEM THROUGHOUT THE WAR AND EVEN REMITTED RENTS ACCRUED ON THOSE PROPERTY BACK TO THE OWNERS.

Now, can you tell us what happened to all the property you ingrates left in the hands of ijaws? or even in the hands of your Ikwerre cousins in Port Harcourt?

You know what, Shuku Okuko Bambiala told me that you'll continue being the unfortunate tribe in this unworkable union because you repaid good with evil in the case of your relationship with the Yoruba and until you apologize, misfortune will continue to dog your every step.

Yoruba have little capacity to hate another tribe. we are a pluralistic society with the belief ''live and let live'' which is why we are the most accommodating and least likely to take offense and always seeking to think things through before taking action but of course, your foolhardiness always interpret such to be cowardice except in the case of ojukwu when it became known as tactical withdrawal.

apologize ko, dominate ni

Ojukwu ran away and left your mothers to fight his battle, resulting in the roasting of 3 million akpu eating OSU's. what do you call that?

a. bravery
b. cowardice
c. tactical withdrawal

Apologise for preventing Ojukwu from fighting the civil war in Yoruba territory while the Igbos continue to host cultural festivals in their own enclave?

Apologise for killing the Yoruba premier and Yoruba senior army officers while Ifeajuna sat for discussions with the Eastern premier instead of sending him to the world beyond?

Apologise for Biafran leaders preferring weapons to food for their starving population?

Apologise for preserving Igbo owned properties and handing over same after the war?

Apologise for a Yoruba officer pledging his allegiance and loyalty to an already condemned Igbo commander, then have Igbo revisionists claim years later that the Yoruba officer did nothing noble because he was also marked for assassination by the coupists?


Just say you are ungrateful and we can move on.

True ojukwu is just one man. Did his people surrender? No? Was any inch of his people's land taken away from them? No? Was his people enslaved? No?

If I were you I will worry about a people who's god awoloshit was used and dumped and he had to end his life by rat poison. I will worry about a people who's lands were taken away from them by Fulani women and given to herdsmen.

If I were you I will worry about a people who's culture were changed by the forceful imposition of an emir on their people. If I were you I will worry about a people who's young men and women cannot rise above slavery despite the fact that slavery ended over 100 years ago, and speak for their future.

If I were you I will worry about the YORUBAS NATION!

Don't mind the OSU yeeboe running mad on nairaland. See what Prof Okey Ndibe, an Igbo with a pedigree said about his own biafran experience. see some excerpts

Some unscrupulous officers of the beleaguered Biafra diverted food to their homes. Bags of rice, beans and other foods, marked with a donor agency’s insignia, were not uncommon in markets. The betrayal pained my father. He railed by signing and distributing a petition against the Biafran officials who hoarded relief food or sold it for profit.

The petition drew the ire of the censured officials; the signatories were categorized as saboteurs. To be tagged a saboteur in Biafra was to be branded with a capital crime. A roundup was ordered. One afternoon, some grave-looking men arrived at our home. They snooped all over the house. They turned things over. They pulled out papers and pored over them, brows crinkled half in consternation, half in concentration. As they ransacked the house, they kept my father closely in view. Then they took him away.

Father was detained for several weeks. I don’t remember that our mother ever explained his absence. It was as if my father had died. And yet, since his disappearance was unspoken, it was as if he hadn’t.

No they didn't surrender, it's me that surrendered

No serious leader would even take that statement as a go ahead to go to war. One may even consider it as a threat to the Nigerian government that if ibos are allowed to go that Yorubas will follow suit.
I don't understand how a trained colonel, a product of Sandhurst and Oxford would interpret this as a green light to declare war. By the way, Awo was not a soldier and he didn't have any army.

Imagine the idiots who led unfortunate civilians into a senseless war were also preventing the civilians from getting the donated food!!! Yet they keep screaming about Awo as if na Awo born the useless and wicked leaders they had then

They even boasted then that they rather have weapons than food, only for them to be wailing after the war on how they suffered without food.

It is a case of a man who felt he was fasting for religion sake, only to realise in the future that the Pastors family was always well fed, he begins to rue the days of his fasting and realises he was suffering then. So that they did not get Biafra saddens them that they wasted lives that ought to have been saved had they given up after the blockade - the main goal of a blockade itself.

Imagine a rebel state that is already totally blockaded still making demands on how food by charity organisations must be supplied on its own terms without Nigerian inspection. That many Biafran veterans have come out to confess that most of the night air flight supply of food and other relief by the charity organisations contained weapons, shows that the fears of the Nigerian Government was well founded.

Absolutely, he probably had a grand vision of becoming the emperor of Iboland with Yorubaland as his vassal state.

The statement was very clear that if they are ALLOWED.

At no point was any promise made to fight any war or team up with the Eastern region to fight against the North.
When it became evident that the East was not going to be allowed to leave, Awolowo appealed to Ojukwu to retrace his steps and find a middle ground with the Nigerian Government. Awolowo likewise demanded that all Northern army officers that populated Lagos and the Western region, be relocated to their region of origin, to allow the different regions still in Nigeria to negotiate the continued existence of the country from a position of safety.

Ojukwu chose to be impatient and went ahead with his own secession plans and then decided to venture past the neutral MidWest while committing atrocities there, and headed to the Western Region and Lagos, so that the civil war will be fought outside of his own Eastern region.

It was after all these that Awolowo joined the Gowon cabinet and pledge allegiance to a united Nigeria.
