Igboid:

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.

Igboid:


Okonkwo, an Anioma son was appointed the military governor of the Midwestern region renamed Republic of Benin.

I guess the Afonja feel that the Midwestern Igbos are not fit to govern the region, when in fact, Osadebay Dennis was the last democratic leader of the Midwest and he was Igbo too.

"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!"

Had to filter this out of your verbose piece of garbage and address properly.

Anioma remains the most fertile part of Midwest,her agricultural out put is quite impressive, she also has fertile fishing waters in Ukwuani part, as well as produce a substantial amount of crude oil in today's Delta. Only Itsekiri in Delta has more onshore crude oil reserves than Anioma.
This is in addition to having the highest quality of human resources in the entire defunct Midwestern region.

You are clearly out of your depths here.

Diademk07:


The governor of the bini was violently removed and your stupid Okonkwo was installed, how is that diplomacy?

The Igho excerpt corroborates Omoigui excerpt as well. Even the British talked about the violent invasion. Hence, we can see who's the liar here!
it's no surprising you would try to deny the fact on the table since we all know no decent human would do such a terrible atrocities except they are animals of which they are but eventually, they had to play the victims when they were treated as the animals they were!

You greedy land grabbing eediots started the wars and we ended it for you, why the victim cry and blame then?

Diademk07:


How did Osadebey Dennis, an eka man becomes an ibo?

You must be smoking some shite weeds or is that your land grabbing tendency rearing its ugly head?
What a Thief!

Eastfield1:

Dont mind dat Idiot.
He is just typical of average Yoruba man u see.
they Go to kitchen n Cook up their lies n expect Igbos to accept n swallow them

Diademk07:


LOL!

You mean Omoigui and Igho are also Yorubas cooking up lies?
I know you're ashamed of the atrocities your folks committed but denying it shows you're cowards and pathetic liars which is not surprising because you got that from your leader, Ojukwu, who turned into a pathetic transgender on his way to Ivory Coast.

You are an ignorant subservient Yoruba man. Osadebey was an Asaba man.

You are but a product of Awolowo failed substandard free education. You can't even get your basics right.

Igboid:


Igho and Omogui are yet to provide the names of Biafran officers or even the units involved in their phantom Biafran atrocities. That's the least we expect Of them to do.

Enu ani people have records of all involved in massacres of their people.

It's a Known fact that Edoids massacred their Igbo Midwestern neighbors during the events between 1966-70.

Igboid:


Still running around in circles with no facts to support your write ups. You bore me.

Ukwuani is more related to Isoko/ Urhobo than to Aniocha/ Oshimili? And speak a language mixed with Isoko/ Urhobo? Lol you are a clown, I have heard it all.

You ended no war, you were a vassal state of the Arewa. A vassal can't lay claim to victory of their overlords.

Diademk07:


Whether he's from Asaba or not, it's none of my business! The point is the ibos has no business with the Delta and Binis dealing but no, your land grabbing and greedy tendencies had to rear its ugly head!

Igboid:


Oh! His Origin is no longer Of any concern to you?

Shameless Yoruba liar. You are pathetic.

T9ksy:



Am glad that by your own words, you have just admitted that Major Albert Okonkwo was appointed as military governor of the Mid west region- a newly invaded and subjugated region, by Ojukwu himself and as, such answerable only to the ikemba. No wonder that Samuel Ogbemudia led his people in a guerrilla warfare against the biafran occupiers of their ancestral land.

I guess it's no point belaboring the FACT that, had Ojukwu's so called secessionist army conquered Lagos, the same fate would have befall the yorubas.

Igboid:


Was Ejoor elected by the Midwesterners? Was he not also a military administrator.

Are you saying that only non Igbo Midwesterners are entitled to leading Midwest, when in truth we know that it was the Aniomas that were robbed when Osadebey a democratic leader was ousted by the "Khaki boys".

Ogbemudia is a Bini Man and is entitled to his own fables/ stories, but not to his own facts.

What fate would have befell the Yorubas? How does this explain away the fact that for whatever reason Best known to Yorubas, you chose to pitch your tent with your Arewa overlords, and in so doing obliterated any talk of neutrality?

Diademk07:


LOL!

Ukwuanis don't even speak ibo and you know that! My kwale bunki at Uniben doesn't even understand the jargons you ibo speak! Try and deny it?

Ibos were our conquered slaves and that''s why you're still crying out in your misery and that you'll ever be! It's karma!

Diademk07:


What an eediot! What's ibo business with Midwest dealing? How is it your business with whoever they elected?

What gave you the right to invade and attack that region or even tried to do likewise to Ore?

From your post, it's as clear as daylight that you're nothing but a petty greedy thief!

Marcelini:

You can't be neutral if you part of Nigeria, the war was Biafra vs Nigeria.
1.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.
2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

Igboid:


Lol! Yes, Ukwuanis speak Yoruba my Abbi Friend in kafanchan university told me so. Afonjaic lies are so lacking in imagination.

Nigerians know the conquered slaves of Arewa, those who are still ruled in Ilorin even unto today, those whose brain cells had been wired to defend their Arewa overlords all over the social media and in life.

Igboid:


See this npama!! Midwest is a region with an indigenous Igbo group. As a matter of fact, the premier of the region before events escalated was indigenous Igbo. We couldn't have more claim to the region than that and it was still a part of Nigeria that invaded Eastern region.

In consonance with your silly line of thought, what gave Nigeria the right to invade Eastern region? How is it your business if they sought to not co exist with you?
What gave you right to attack a people who upheld their right to self secession?

Is it not clear that Afonjas and their Arewa overlords are crude oil thieves and land grabbers as shown in this pic below?

Igboid:

Real identity

My mother is from Iseyin in Oyo State, while my father is from Ilorin in Kwara State. My great-great grandfather originated from Mali and I am talking about some 150 to 200 years ago. And they are Fulani and that is where we got our Fulani connection from. My great grandfather settled in Ilorin preaching the religion of Islam. A section of Ilorin came from Gwandu and they were religious, but my people came there as practising Muslims from Mali with their own Quran. In fact, the Emir and I used to joke that we had our own Quran and that nobody gave us Quran. My great-grandfather brought our own Quran to Ilorin from Mali to Agbaji where we settled. The Agbaji quarters is about 200 to 300 years old. Over the years, religious piety and devotion have led the prohibition of drumming (in whatever circumstance) in the area.

But because of our connection with the Southern people, a lot of Yoruba are always in Ilorin and so we speak the same language.

If you look at the Ilorin people, the real Ilorin people like Saraki for example, the culture and their ways share affinity with those of the far Northern Nigeria. That accounts for the difference you observe between us and, particularly, people of the South-West, despite the existence, now, of Yoruba as a common language. I leave people to say whatever they like about me. Some people even say I am from Ogun State and some even say I am from Togo but I know where I am from. Even, not long ago, I had a letter inviting me to join in the formation of a Mali-Fulani Organization and that I should be its chairman.

What about your ancestral lineage? People have accused you of bearing Alhaji Abubakar Saraki when you needed votes from the North, Chief Olusola Saraki when you needed votes from the South-West and in the South-East and South-South, you answered Dr. Sola Saraki. How do you reconcile these differences?

People are just reading political meanings to my actions. My Islamic name is Abubakar. When were growing up in Lagos in those days, unless you were a Christian or bore a native indigenous name, you couldn’t get a school. If I wanted to be admitted to a school, I had to drop Abubakar in favour of Sola as virtually all the schools belonged to Christian organizations. It is not correct that I was changing names to garner votes. Politicians invent those kinds of stories against their opponents. You, yourself, should know who you are.

Diademk07:


LOL! Whether you like it or not, Ukwuanis don't speak ibo, the word ibo to them means a slave! You can go hit your head on rock at that!

That said, the emir in Ilorin symbolises a part of Yoruba history of how Ilorin became independent from Oyo and got their own governed land with the help of Fulani who were also a minority of the dwellers in Ilorin! That's our heritage! It doesn't negate the fact that Ilorin belongs to Yoruba and the majority dwellers in there are Yorubas!

It's like saying Delta is now under Anioma rule because Okowa is the governor! You're so foolish I swear!

Marcelini:

5. 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.

6- 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

Igboid:


Lol! Emirate is a symbol of Fulani lordship over the Yorubas in Ilorin, it's silly equating it to a democratically elected governor of a state who was elected by his people and answerable to them. Emir of Ilorin is a representative of the Fulani caliphate in Yorubaland, it's a symbol of authority of Fulani lordship and Yoruba subservience.

Futhermore, the Fulanis combine political leadership with traditional leadership, as they now consider Islam part of their religion. Many of the Fulanis in Ilorin today speak Yoruba, just as many of Fulanis rulling Hausaland speak Hausa, it does not make them Yoruba or Hausas, it makes them a savvy minority rulers capable Of grafting themselves into the majority ruled population, to enable them gain acceptance and rule in peace. It's a tested and trusted adaption mechanism of all minority rulers.
