1.You and your fellow Yorubas should own up to your treacherous ways and stop making a living out of Igbos quest for nationhood. It's pathetic to see you lots rant carelessly on every available media page just because you dread the mere mention of Biaf... or NK.

2.You're asking what Yorubas stand to gain from their campaigns of calumny against Igbos/IPOB and yet Yoruba media and propagandists are out there, day in, day out fabricating wicked lies to have Igbos stay put with them in this contraption.

Igbos don't need the Yorubas for anything and yet Yorubas keep concocting c0ck and bull stories to justify why Igbos should share a country with them.

3.Give up the silly concoctions already and simply channel your energies towards consolidating OduaArewanistan republic.

1.What treachery do you speak of?
The involvement of government officials and soldiers of Yoruba extraction in the civil war?
Those men did what they have to do because the roles they played were part of their jobs.
I repeat:Would you have fed them if they got sacked for dereliction of duty?

If by now you still have not realised that the only Yorubas who oppose Biafra are just Internet trolls then I can't help you to.
Am yet to listen to any of his broadcast;but going by the comments of those who had,they claim he makes trenchant unflattering about other ethnic groups in the country.
Don't you think this is a grave mistake on his part since he's the face of the Biafra struggle?
Before NK and IPOD came along,there was MASSOB.Although they often get harassed sometimes,they never succeded in attracting the type of hate NK got and smirched IPOB with.
How many Yorubas do you see deriding Massob?
That apart,can you name any Yoruba leader who has spoken ill of Biafra?
Remember Prof. Soyinka's stand on the issue during the war and in his recent interview?
Name the Yoruba leader who is against Biafra;Internet trolls dont count.

2.The sad truth is newspaper are after sales;Biafra isn't the first and woun't be the last to be a victim of press propaganda.
But what newspaper do you have in mind exactly?
Not only Yoruba owned newspapers are guilty of this.
All print media that cover Nigerian politics do the same.
Any Yoruba propagandist peddling false info about Biafra is an idle troll.
Don't prejudge using what you read on NL,FB etc. You need to visit the SW yourself to understand that Yorubas have nothing against Biafra.
Yorubas are aware that the Igbos can do fine without them and vice versa.
But this claim that they are holding the Igbos back from leaving Nigeria is baseless;was there a motion raised by an Igbo senator for referendum on Biafra which Yoruba reps. fought against?
How exactly are they preventing the Igbos from leaving?
Explain yourself.

3.What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Tell your people to stop making snide remarks on Yoruba,desist from coining terms like OduaArewanistan etc. and focus on Biafra.
That's all.

@saffronspice what you said is so true. Just today, while they were broadcasting the trial of their director, a caller went on and on about how yorubas are weak and can be Islamised and how Biafrans are strong. I was like why can't you make your points without dragging in yorubas?

Wetin we buy for una hand?

That's all.

That's the problem with many of you Yorubas; you keep trying in vain to mask your hypocrisy and unstable nature. You keep burying your head in the sand of deceit and chicanery to deflect attention from your epic treachery.

During the regime of Obasanjo MASSOB were to a large extent peaceful with their campaigns and yet Obasanjo molested, harrassed, imprisoned and killed many of them with many Yorubas celebrating and wishing death upon Biafrans.

If I may ask, what concerns Yorubas with the manner Igbos choose to champion their quest for self-determination? Why must it be Yorubas preoccupation? It's sickening and pathetic that you and your folks would leave the myriads of problems bedevilling your Yoruba people to hype on IPOB and NK.

"Would you have fed them (Yorubas who colluded with their Northern masters to commit genocide on Igbos and Easterners for choosing to have a separate existence) if they got sacked for dereliction of duty?"

Does this question of yours not sound ridiculous?

Do you bother to ask your folks why you lots spend a greater part of your energy in futility trying to quench the call for self-determination by the Igbos instead of simply channelling it to consolidate OduaArewanistan or Odua Republic?

During the 1990s period, what was Radio Kudirat broadcasting about - Peace and Love?
Did Igbos rant carelessly in the media or oppose Radio Kudirat in any way? Even the Yoruba creation, NADECO, had a number of Igbos as members who contributed their quotas in fighting against the Hausa-Fulani-led military regime.

Igbos never left their own business to go gang up against Radio Kudirat or ANY other attempts by Yorubas to champion Oduduwa.

If today Yorubas reignite their quest for nationhood, many Igbos wouldn't hesitate to rally round by making financial contributions to ensure the speedy realisation of such project.

Tell your Yoruba folks to steer clear of ANYTHING connected with Igbos. Concentrate on OduaArewanistan republic and leave Igbos alone. Igbos have no need of Yorubas and are not willing to self-destruct with Yorubas in this cesspit.


“Before the civil war started, the Yorubas said if Igbos are allowed to go, they too will go on the secession declaration.

“It was Chief Awolowo who said it openly and publicly; it was published in newspapers...
“The place Igbos left were occupied by Yoruba, particularly the civil service. 

“Till today the Yoruba are the dominant elements in the bureaucracy of Nigeria..."

1. The moment we had Biafra, there ceased to be a Nigerian division in Enugu as they were are sent home with their weapon by Ojukwu.
If there was a Nigerian division in Yorubaland before the start of hostilities, it simply meant that Yoruba was part and parcel of Nigeria, and so can't feign neutrality.
2. All of them were not involved in the pogrom, but all of them were involved in the war to deny the Biafrans freedom as part and parcel of Nigeria.
3. Point taken. Which also means that the dispute was between the Eastern region that later transformed into Biafra and the rest of Nigeria, and not an Igbo vs North issue, cos if it was so, Eastern region delegates to the meeting won't have Eastern non Igbo groups in attendance and the Nigerian delegates won't have Yoruba, Bini, Urhobo, etc persons in attendance.
4. -If Biafra was allowed to secede, the Yorubas would have been trapped in a master- slave union with the North, one in which the North by her sheer population and power will rule forever whether via democracy or autocracy.
-Yorubas couldn't bear the thought of the Eastern region departing with the humongous crude oil wealth without them having a share in it. This in itself was a motivating factor that the Hausa- Fulani dangled as a carrot in front of Yorubas.
- Awo was an ambitions Man like Zik, who had visions of one day ruling Nigeria. He would rather have Nigeria intact than a divided one. His earlier frustration with Nigeria was all because he was forced to play third fiddle, once Gowon and the North promised to give him more power, he was more than happy to play along with their plans and even offered more treacherous demonic advices to them to end the war faster.
- You can aswell ask me what Yorubas stand to gain from fighting Biafra now, cause right from the day's of Uwazururike, the most visible group in social and print media, opposing Biafra, making mockery of the movement, giving us unsolicited advises on why we should stay part of Nigeria, are Yorubas.
So I ask you, why are Yorubas still fighting Biafra till today. A Yoruba man opened this thread with this Yoruba letter that was forged by shameless Yoruba elders just to gather negative comments against Biafra.
WHY ARE YORUBAS STILL FIGHTING BIAFRA TODAY.

1.Your points are indistinct.
There was nothing like divisions in the Nigeria Army before the civil war. When did Yoruba claimed not to be a part of Nigeria?
Get this - what I mean by neutral is,Yorubas officers were not responsible for the coup(except for Adewale Ademoyega); although some Yoruba men were killed,Yorubas didn't join in the pogrom that followed.Those two incidents that Yorubas were unconnected to gave birth to the civil war,so why should they be roped into the squally sh!tstorm that followed.

BLOCKED: Almost no yorubas left on my FB page. I will not SUBSCRIBE to tribalism against the Igbos and #Biafra . We killed THEM and boasted about it. Gen Obasanjo, Col Rotimi, Gen Ibrahim Taiwo etc etc. Oluwole Rotimi was fired by Yaradua as NG Ambassador to USA for his Biafra comment to Ojo Maduweke NG Ambassador to Canada, OBJ still boasting "We will do to Boko Haram what we did to Biafra-OBJ 2015", Ibrahim Taiwo assassinated same day as Gen Murtala Muhammed on a Friday the 13th an evil day in 1976. I no longer spend the N20 note in Nigeria. These were not heroes. Ojukwu was the real hero we were told to hate. It took years for me to know that. My father was the only Yoruba leader at his funeral. Those yoruba youth who say they saw Tinubu there were hallucinating. Both Taiwo and MM ordered Nigerian Army into Asaba and killed 700 innocent civilan men, raped their wives, daughters and ruined the town. Google Asaba massacres on Wikipedia. U are on your internet. We as Yoruba youth were brainwashed into seeing them as HEROES. Today's youth must be told the truth. History is no longer in schools. It must be told. If you were not born 1967-70 and watched 3 years of the war on WNTV now NTA, u need to STFU. Those begging me on Twitter will be ignored. The Igbo children dancing in this collage at KJ's school event are Yoruba. STOP YOUR TRIBALISM!
To my Biafrans on social media, ABSOLUTELY no violence or advocating violence on #socialmedia . Do not play into the hands of King Buhari, Father Mbaka Mfaker and the DSS.


Here are the members of Yoruba tribe that participated in the January 1966 coup:
(See Ben Gbulie: ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors.’).

*Adewale Ademoyega is the most prominent Yoruba participant in the coup, there were other Yoruba officers who were involved at the dangerous execution stage of the coup. One of them is:

*Second Lieutenant Olafimihan, an officer serving under Madiebo in Kaduna. He was sent by the plotters to gauge his commander’s loyalty. (See Madiebo pp.17-18).

*Another is Lieutenant (some books refer to him as a Captain) Fola Oyewole. He, like Ademoyega, went on to fight for Biafra and wrote a book on his coup and wartime experiences. The book’s title is ‘Reluctant Rebel.’

*There is also Captain Ganiyu Adeleke who became an instructor in the Biafran Infantry School. For confirmation, see the list of coup plotters detained by Ironsi’s regime in Ademoyega pp.106-108, and this quote from Nowa Omoigui’s online account: ‘Mid-Western Invasion of 1967’: ‘Captain Ganiyu Adeleke, who had taken part in both the January 15 coup and the Mid-Western invasion before becoming an instructor in the Biafran School of Infantry was released at a later date after his co-plotters had been freed.’ Omoigui’s work is significant because, though he exhibits a high level of professionalism in his research, he has no sympathy for the January 15 coup. If his facts corroborate Ademoyega’s they are worthy of attention.

This strand of thought - to me - dispels your argument.

Do you know if the West would have followed suit? The Yorubas have what it takes to survive in any political terrain.You are not qualified to play Nostradamus.
Back to the facts.The crude oil you mentioned belonged to the Niger Delta,and the ND was part of Nigeria then.So what's your point exactly?
- I can't change what you choose to think about Awo and woun't attempt to.
But I'll have to correct the bold. Here : Governor Ezeife: “Awolowo did not join the war against Nigeria and neither did he start the war against Eastern Region but he eventually joined Gowon”.

And,

"The document says disagreement on shipments between Mr. Gowon and Mr. Ojukwu, were more to blame for the failure of relief materials reaching dying children, women and men desperately in need of food."

You can aswell ask me what Yorubas stand to gain from fighting Biafra now, cause right from the day's of Uwazururike, the most visible group in social and print media, opposing Biafra, making mockery of the movement, giving us unsolicited advises on why we should stay part of Nigeria, are Yorubas.
So I ask you, why are Yorubas still fighting Biafra till today. A Yoruba man opened this thread with this Yoruba letter that was forged by shameless Yoruba elders just to gather negative comments against Biafra.
WHY ARE YORUBAS STILL FIGHTING BIAFRA TODAY.

1.Your points are indistinct.
There was nothing like divisions in the Nigeria Army before the civil war. When did Yoruba claimed not to be a part of Nigeria?
Get this - what I mean by neutral is,Yorubas officers were not responsible for the coup(except for Adewale Ademoyega); although some Yoruba men were killed,Yorubas didn't join in the pogrom that followed.Those two incidents that Yorubas were unconnected to gave birth to the civil war,so why should they be roped into the squally sh!tstorm that followed.

2.The Igbos were not the first to be denied the chance to secede.
The Ijaws were.Isaac Adaka Boro declared Niger Delta Republic on Feb. 23 1966.Since the Igbos were eager to break free from Nigeria why didn't they support someone with a similar plan?
This strand of thought - to me - dispels your argument.

3.What do you mean?The East was stilll a part of Nigeria when the Aburi Accord was held,wasn't it?
So why should the ethnicity of the fellow Nigerians who were present there be of any importance?
4.How can you categorically predict what would have happened to the West if the secession was successful?
Do you know if the West would have followed suit? The Yorubas have what it takes to survive in any political terrain.You are not qualified to play Nostradamus.
Back to the facts.The crude oil you mentioned belonged to the Niger Delta,and the ND was part of Nigeria then.So what's your point exactly?
- I can't change what you choose to think about Awo and woun't attempt to.
But I'll have to correct the bold. Here : Governor Ezeife: “Awolowo did not join the war against Nigeria and neither did he start the war against Eastern Region but he eventually joined Gowon”.

And,

"The document says disagreement on shipments between Mr. Gowon and Mr. Ojukwu, were more to blame for the failure of relief materials reaching dying children, women and men desperately in need of food."

5.I should also ask you why Igbos always mention Yorubas as the cause of their problems; right from the inception of Nigeria,the Igbos have always been in alliance with the North
(from NEPU to NPC); the Yorubas never called them a slave to the North.Yet they have the gut to talk about OduaArewanistan.
Also the most visible group on social and print media calling Lagos a no-man's land,saying we are zombies for voting for Buhari,are Igbos.
An Igboman Prof. Chinua Achebe wrote a book in which he maligned Awo just to get negative comments against Yorubas.
So I should ask you why are Igbos always attacking Yorubas?

If care is not taken you'll soon cry blood on top Biafr* matter...

Here's a message from a Nigerdeltan to the shameless parasites in the South. Take the message to your fellow Yorubas making a living out of Igbos quest for nationhood:

WombRaiders:
"Yoruba wants one Nijeriya because they are afraid of having us in the better south ( ND and SE) Leave them alone with ab0ki.

It is not just a matter of financial exigency but a matter of survival.

For all the hatred they show towards the Ibos, the Yoruba needs the Ibo to thwart any jihad from the north.

So to my Ibo brothers and sisters, what I can conclude from this yoruba madness and obsession towards Biafr@ movement is actually shrouded in deep fear of being left alone with their northern masters.

Adeboye will be converted to Islam. Tunde Bakare will return back to Islam.

The Yoruba is actually throwing tantrums over Biafr@ because they need YOU IBOS to remain to protect them just as they need us in the ND to keep feeding them.

The Yoruba is an ingrate coward!"

1- You can't be neutral if you part of Nigeria, the war was Biafra vs Nigeria.
Ademoyega was part of the inner caucus of Nzeogwu coup. The Five majors, that already sends your Yoruba neutrality claim down the trash.

Yorubas were not involved in the progrom, but a Yoruba was part and parcel of the coup and a Yoruba premier died at the hands of the mutineers, Yorubas were right in the thick of the action of things that led to the progrom.
Let's not even forget that it was the wild wild west/ Operation wetie and all mayhem taking place in the Western region that set the stage for the coup.

2- Adaka Boro was not an elected official of the Ijaws, the Ijaw leaders in Enugu were not the ones calling for secession, it was hard ascertaining if Boro spoke for the people, only a referendum would have determined that. Boro wasn't asking for referendum, neither was the Ijaw leaders in the Eastern house.
You can't compare Boro movement with that of the Eastern region hat had the total support of the leaders of the Eastern region and the entire ethnicities in the East Ojukwu was also open to referendum to ascertain the people wish which Gowon declined.

Either way, I think Boro issue has no part in this our discussion, you only brought it up for diversion.
If you want to discuss the Boro issue and your perceived hypocrisy of the Easterners, open a thread on that and invite me.

For now, let's stay on topic.

3- It's important because it outlined all parties involved in the fracas. It cancels your Igbo vs North propaganda, and dispels your neutrality stand. There was no neutral sides, there were two sides, the Eastern region and the rest of Nigeria, Yorubas were with the later side.

4- I can't be sure of what would have happened to Yorubas, but my projections are antecedent based. The North is yet to give up Kwara, and they believe that infidels can't rule "true muslims", I dont think that stance of their was going to change once they are left in a country with Yorubas.

Considering the population advantage, and geographical proximity they had on Yorubaland, including already established military basis, if I'm a betting man, I know where I would have put my money in case of hostilities between Yoruba and the North Post Biafra, and it's not on Yorubas.

5- In the era in discuss, there was nothing like Niger Delta, what we had was Eastern region, even till today, the Igbo speaking areas of the deep south still has more onshore crude oil than the Ijaw speaking areas, the highest oil producing LGAs in Rivers state today are ONELGA and Oyigbo LGAs. The issue of Igbo denial in these regions was a deliberate post civil war machinations of the FG.
Moreover. Ojukwu was open to UN supervised referendum on the non Igbo parts of Biafra, to determine if they would have rather stayed with Nigeria, but Gowon also declined the request, knowing fully well that they would have chosen Biafra over Nigeria.

The Eastern non Igbo speaking groups were never forced into the Biafran project.

- The role of Awolowo as the originator and enforcer of the starvation policy in Biafra had already been dealt with many times as a topic in NL, if you want to re discuss it, open a thread again about it, and I would oblige again, stop detailing this thread.

- Can you show me, a single document pre civil ear where Igbo leaders ever talked about Yorubas or another Nigerian group.
Instead it was treacherous beings like Awolowo, Akintola, Oba Akenzua, Saraduna etc that were busy all making Igbophobic speeches and articles all of which were recorded.
My fore runners were a bit naive, they ignored all your hate articles against Ndiigbo, the present Ndiigbo won't, we will return your hatred with A billion times more concentrated hatred.

- Achebe never maligned Awolowo, he just stated the facts on the role Awolowo played in starving millions of Biafran babies and children.

Shalom.

Didn't check my Mentions.
Am Just seeing this.
I'll hit you up with a reply when am less busy.

Igboid:


But Yorubas allowed Gowon and Northern military complex to headquarter in Lagos and from their launch military attack on Biafra.

You opened up your ports for them to import weapons they would use to annihilate Biafrans.

When Ojukwu sought for Awo help, Awo stated that Yorubaland don't have the power to chase away the Northerners in your region.

So it's alright for Yorubas to harbour Northern military who stay in your land to plot our annihilation while you claim to be powerless against them and treacherously claim neutrality, but it's wrong for Biafrans to try to personally terminate those Northerners who you harboured in your lands?

You can't claim neutrality when you allow someone to stay in your house to shoot at me in my house. The only way you show neutrality is by chasing this my enemy away from your house and if you can't do that like Awo claimed, then you allow me in to come and Chase away the enemy myself.

If you refuse to chase away this enemy, and would go on to protect this enemy by refusing me entry into your house to chase away the enemy myself, then it's obvious you are in alliance with this enemy and your talk of neutrality is at best treacherous.

You're speaking trash man!

Were you also chasing the enemy from the midwest while you destroyed and pilage Bini lands, killing and raping the Auchi brethren as well as appointing your kinsman, Okoro to govern them?

Did you expect us to lay low and allow you to have access through our land after all your stupid and greedy exploits in our neighbouring region?

You're an eediot and a clown!

Oh, you were never aware of Zik making statement such as Ibo are superior to other ethnics and will dominate Nigeria?

More over, in spite of Akintola speech which was to warn his folks about the domineering attitude of the ibos, he nor any Yoruba folks made any stupid action to kill any ibos pre-civil war unlike how your devilish fore fathers conspired to kill AKintola, Ademolegun and his pregnant wife but no, you're the victim with an angelic heart! Not to mention how you folks invaded Ore after destroying Bini and the mid-west region.

What rubbish! I really don't know nor care where you folks get your moonlight tales from but you need to get an history book and update your brain!

Still Old trash. Midwest is a region with Igbos in it too. The pillaging and killing happened in omogui delusions.

Till now he( Omogui) the originator of that propaganda is yet to produce the name of Biafran commander and Biafran units involved in the so called pillaging and killing Of Midwest minorities.

Either, way whatever happened in Midwest is irrelevant to the issue of this discussion. Which is that Yorubas were never neutral in the conflict from the very beginning, as they housed the Northern military headquarters from where plans to invade the East was hatched, they treacherously claimed to not be able to chase the Northerners away from the region and at the same time, ganged up with the same northerners to refuse Biafra entry into their region to deal with the Northern military occupation there.

Next time, if you have no meaningful contribution to the discussion, stay off my mention and let your superiors do the talking.

Because we do not have the Yoruboids in the midwest too? Does that give you devilish people the right to attack them?

Look at this dumb revisionist! What was Okonkwo doing governing Benin region? Is Benin an eastern state? You mean your fraudster of a leader never pillaged the midwest land? What a fucking lying coward! I schooled in Benin city hence I'm aware that the folks there knows about your treacherous and devilish works in their land back in the days.

Let me also point you to the fact that it's no fault of ours that Lagos was the central capital of Nigeria or houses the tools used to deal with your folks, you dummy! But what did your dumb folks do? Went ahead to destroy and rape the midwest region, invaded and attacked Ore while you eediot kept on propagating the lies that you were only passing through the cities en route to Lagos! Is that how you pass through a city? Do you do that by attacking the region and raping their women while appointing your folks as governors of the said region?

I'm always thankful to God that our leaders dealt with you and your cunny ways and preserved our lands from you land grabbing greedy clowns! Can you imagine?

The funny thing is we shouldn't have been neutral from the start considering how your devilish folks killed Akintola and our other leaders. We should have been in the thick of the fight right from the start to avenge our leaders whom your folks killed!

What a clown!

LETTER FROM LT.COL. OJUKWU TO LT. COL.BANJO

22nd AUGUST 1967

From: The Military Governor,

Republic of Biafra Enugu,

22nd August, 1967.

My dear Victor,

1. For some time now, you and I have been discussing the circumstances that have led to the current and inevitable disintegration of what was the Federation of Nigeria. We have been fully convinced that the aim of the Hausa/Fulani complex has ever been, and will ever remain, the total domination of every other part of what was known as the Federation of Nigeria. It is impossible to forget that the crisis which led to the army take over in January 1966, the coup of the Northern soldiers led by Gowon in July 1966, the wholesale and indiscriminate massacre of the people of what is now Biafra- and, to a less degree, the people of the Mid-West and West, including the Yorubas, were all the direct result of Hausa/Fulani attempt to subjugate and use as tools, the gallant people of Western Nigeria namely the Yorubas. We do not need to remind ourselves of the heavy losses in life and property suffered by the Yoruba people in their fight for justice and freedom during 1965.

2. Sharing.our belief that the people of Yorubaland have a right to live a life of equality and self-respect and justice free of domination and dictatorship from any quarter, you have both identified with the cause of the Biafra struggle for survival and expressed your determination to see the people of Yorubaland freed from Hausa/Fulani domination.

We, the people of Biafra, for our part are willing and have decided to give you and the people of Yorubaland every assistance to achieve your aim.

3. After clearing the whole question with my Executive Council, I, as the Commander in Chief of the Biafran Armed Forces, have decided to place at your disposal Biafran forces, for the liberation of

Yorubaland on the following clear conditions:-

(i) You will have nothing to do with the Military Administrator in the Mid-West Territory during your sojourn there prior to your move to the West.

(ii) The willingness and preparedness of Biafra to assist any part of the former Federation of Nigeria wishing and willing to liberate itself from the Hausa/Fulani domination, does not in anyway whatever

imply any inclination on her part to compromise her sovereignty or preserve what remains of the defunct Federation of Nigeria. In other words, our sovereignty and break with Nigeria is irrevocable. Nothing must, therefore be said or done by you or any member of the Liberation Army to give a contrary impression.

(iii) Biafra is determined to maintain and safeguard her sovereignty and ensure that her integrity and safety are never again threatened.

(iv) Biafran troops will, after the liberation of the Yorubaland, remain in that territory only for as long as we in Biafra consider it necessary for the Yorubas to consolidate their position and sovereignty against any external threat.

(v) On the liberation of the Yorubaland, you will be appointed as the Military Governor of that territory.

(vi) The liberation of Western Nigeria will be a prelude to the liberation of all Yorubas up to the River Niger and the severance of all connections between the West and the North at Jebba.

(vii) During the period of Biafrans troops’ presence in your territory, all political measures, statements or decrees shall be subject to the approval, in writing by myself or on my authority.

(viii) Should our troops arrive and liberate Lagos, the government of the Republic of Biafra reserves the right to appoint a Military administrator for the territory. Such an Administrator will remain in office until a merger of that territory with Yorubaland is effected by Biafran troops.

(ix) As soon as possible after your appointment as the Military Governor of Western Nigeria and separation of that territory from Nigeria, you and I must meet to discuss:

(a) the duration of stay of Biafran troops in your territory;

(b) the areas and subjects of cooperation between the liberated sovereign states of Western Nigeria, or by what name it may call itself, and Biafra.

4. I do not need to remind you that Biafra regards all Yoruba as friends. As such everything should be done, to ensure the minimum force and loss of life are involved in achieving the objective of liberation.

5. It is essential, in order to avoid misunderstanding or confusion, that all subsequent requests for support be formally made to me by you in writing.

6. Will you please signify in writing, your acceptance of the above conditions so that you may leave for Western Nigeria and lead the army of liberation.

Yours very sincerely,

signed Lt. Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu,

Military Governor and Commander in Chief of Biafran Armed Forces.

culled from " A Break in the Silence : Lt. Col. Victor Adebukunola Banjo, pp.66-68, by F. Adetowun Ogunsheye, Spectrum Books, Ibadan, 2001" . Provided by Prof. Olufemi Ojo.

When shall Nigerians stop being stupid? Ojukwu cannot and never address himself as the Military Governor and Commander in Chief of Biafran Armed Forces. The above junk reminds me of the crap published in the 1967 Western Nigeria regional gazette that Lt Col Fajuyi volunteered to die with Maj Gen. Ironsi. What a joke.

What a fucking lying coward! I schooled in Benin city hence I'm aware that the folks there knows about your treacherous and devilish works in their land back in the days.

Is that how you pass through a city? Do you do that by attacking the region and raping their women while appointing your folks as governors of the said region?

I'm always thankful to God that our leaders dealt with you and your cunny ways and preserved our lands from you land grabbing greedy clowns! Can you imagine?

The funny thing is we shouldn't have been neutral from the start considering how your devilish folks killed Akintola and our other leaders. We should have been in the thick of the fight right from the start to avenge our leaders whom your folks killed!

What a clown!

You were never neutral from the start. That's the point. And for all your ranting, you are only confirming that.

Okonkwo was a Midwestern, and before the military take over, Osadebey an Igbo man from
Asaba was an elected premier Of the Midwestern region who governed the region from Benin too.

Your Edo friends are entitled to their beer parlour gossips, as long as its understood that they are nothing but beer parlour gossip bereft of facts, we are all cool.

Your Edo friends are entitled to their beer parlour gossips, as long as its understood that they are nothing but beer parlour gossip bereft of facts, we are all cool.

We were actually neutral until your folks showed they couldn't be trusted. If you had passed through the Midwest peacefully without attacking the dwellers nor the dwellers of Ore as well as informed us before your invasion, nobody would have batted an eye nor tried to stop you but no, you acted otherwise!

Did you expect us to be looking like zombies while your folks attacked Ore and the whole Ondo at large especially when we were all aware of your stupid exploit in Midwest? I'm from Ondo state and I guide my origin jealously even till present. So you can't play any bullshit with me!

And no, Okonkwo was no midwestern, he was an ibo man from the Midwest, the Aniocha/Oshimli folks are ibos!

You're speaking trash man!

Were you also chasing the enemy from the midwest while you destroyed and pilage Bini lands, killing and raping the Auchi brethren as well as appointing your kinsman, Okoro to govern them?

Did you expect us to lay low and allow you to have access through our land after all your stupid and greedy exploits in our neighbouring region?

You're an eediot and a clown!

this is where u gulfed up
but i guess u are an illitrate not to know that after d mid west invasion Ojukwu allowed Edo to Create Bini Republic which NG later Crushed within A day.
its funny How u Yorubas Cook up ur lies and convince ur self that Ndi igbo will just accept it.

You mean after attacking and raping the Etsako women? But then, the appointment of an ibo man to govern them should suffice and placate them? Clap for yourself! LOL

You can't be hosting and romancing with those attacking my land and same time claim neutral.
The war was Nigeria vs Biafra. Yoruba was with Nigeria full throttle, the only way your prove your neutrality was chasing the Nigerian military out of your region, You didn't. This is simple logic.

No Midwesterner was attacked by Biafran troops, if the Edos think otherwise, they should provide proof by telling us the name of Biafran unit involved and their commanders or the name of any prominent person that can be verified that was murdered by Biafrans.

Ndiigbo murdered and massacred in Asaba can tell the name of Nigerian unit and their commanders involved in the Asaba massacre.

Okonkwo appointment as the leader of the Midwest was in order,as he was a legitimate mid western, more so than Edos and the rest, since the elected person ousted from power, Osadebey in the region by the military was his tribes man.

Okonkwo was a Midwesterner, more midwesterner than any Edo, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Isoko or Ijaw, as the legitimate power that was usurped in mid west by the Nzeogwu gang was also an Igbo one, in the person of Osadebey. The Igbos were first class Midwesterners.
Your attempt at writing them off as strangers in their region is mischievous.

.can u provide any evidence that an igbo man was appointed to govern them?

You're a real clown I swear! It's no suprise though because I've always known that ibos, lies, stupidity and revisionism are synonymous!

How can you put an ibo to govern the Bini republic? Are you that dumb that your folks carved out Bini republic from the midwest only to put an ibo man to govern them? Does Okonkwo look like Bini to you? Didn't you know that it caused the rife between Bankole and Ojukwu? Bankole had to object to it because that was never the plan and from henceforth, he began to see how stupid he was to join the greedy biafra in their stupid struggle which was actually land grabbing struggle in the first place.

Furthermore, everyone knows how your devilish folks attacked the binis, the facts are all there to see! The fact that you tried to deny it already shows that you know how devilish and animalistic your folks were, to have done such a terrible thing!

Let me also point to you that apart from Omoigui historical excerpt, Igho, another midwest from Delta laid emphasis on how your greedy folks invaded the midwest, killed and raped the Binis and Etsako brethren because some of them were Muslims, separated them and appointed an ibo man to govern them! All your atrocities were all records and even the Deltans and Binis know this!

And no, the Aniocha/Oshimili are no midwsetern than the other folks in the midwest. Their lands are not only poor, infertile but also small! Prior to the Civil war, the midwest actually wanted them to join their folks on the river bank because the midwest fear they will likely betray them which they eventually did BTW!

That said, it's no fault of Yorubas that Lagos was the Capital state. Besides, it was on records that Awolowo told the Northerners to remove their Machineries from Lagos but no, you greedy land grabbing folks couldn't just help yourself like you always do! For this, I'm always thankful and grateful to God for giving us wonderful leaders who worked tirelessly to ensure you greedy clowns were promptly dealt with!

Take up an historical book, update your brain and stop disturbing ny mention, man!

Does Okonkwo Nwazu sound bini to you? Maybe it sounded bini in the several moonlight tales propagated by your untruthful uncles and fathers!

Never have I seen such verbose piece of gabbage before. So incoherent and so lacking in rational thought process

Republic of Benin was a name Given to Midwestern region by Biafrans. It was named so because the capital of Midwest was in Benin city, not because it contained only Binis.

There is nothing to deny. The burden of proof lies on the Bini and non Igbo Midwesterners fable tellers including their collaborators to provide the name of the Biafran unit involved in the phantom massacre in Bini. Ndiigbo in Asaba has the name of the commanding military officers and soldiers involved in Asaba massacre.

It doesn't take much to separate truth from lies.

Either way, this Midwestern talk is only a diversion tactics on your part, as it does not in anyway dispel the fact that Yorubas were part and parcel of the Nigerian nation that invaded Biafra, and your talk of neutrality has no rational ground whatsoever.
