Funlord2:





Why are all you these strange online made in aba jews such bloody liars? I am always seeing all these crap statements you and your fellow tribalists love making about how awolowo died from rat poisoning but you all know it is not true! Even if you guys want to diss your yoruba enemies can't you do it with facts?


This was how I caught one of you creating a thread and using a fake picture of a chess player that is still alive yesterday to claim that was the photo of the jewish student who committed suicide during the war! So it seems as this may 30th approaches your ipob lies grow bigger?

Na wa for una! Receive sense abeg!

gone are the days when your lies are left to last...

aljharem:
If only they knew how ungrateful the people they are helping are.

They were not helping anybody but seemed wiser than other Yari,ba who were dull and not visionary.

Yet they say yorubas are back stabbers. Need for them to recall that after the civil war, the SW remains the only region till date that returned their properties to them untouched but we know how other regions treat them.

They need to have a rethink and know who are the real back stabbers here.

I wouldn't say Banjo is or was a hero, because he was very controversial. In fact the biggest of the Yoruba/Biafra Heroes that till date doesn't get much acclaim is Col FAJUYI, who stood with his Commander till the end, unlike most Yoruba and current Igbo politicians of today are doing for their own people.

I salute you sir

Stop spinning that lie about fajuyi,he was privy to the initial coup that brought ironsi to power and notrher elements knew this he was even the reason ironsi was killed,his death was revenge killing by the north,he was already marked for death, not because he was doing anybody a kind of favour. between fajuyi and ironsi who do you think needed more protection at that time? Don't let lagos -ibadan expressway gutter media confuse you.yoruba are good at twisting stories.one of them here ve started saying it was Fkk and fayose bailed Nnami kanu when igbo Governors abandoned him.thats yoruba for you

Same people dat said awolo died peacfully in his home.
When he took poison heheheheh.
Dude murukwa anya.!

shukuokukobambi:




Don't worry about oshokomole and FFK too much. They've already elevated those heroes of their struggle to god status even as we speak. Fayose and FFK are on the same level as Amadioha and Shuku okuko alaroka. They're already looking for a befitting place to erect shrines in their honour

Choi, you mean I can now invoke the name of Fayose or FFK against evil doers?

As in, may FFK fire any cocaine pusher.

MrAlfa:
These cowards and sabos were the reason we lost the war.

We have learnt. Never again!

No more because of the starvation policy or the lack of foreign help?
You guys are just a large collection of bitter, hateful and ungrateful human beings. I wonder why people like WS have to do what he did.
You people never repay kindness with kindness, that essentially is what you are.

Gbam!!

You can even now say "may the grace of Fayose be upon every chest beating coward"

Okay sir. Noted.

Wole Soyinka was in prison for supporting biafra while ojukwu was in a brothel in Ivory Coast where he had escaped to leaving behind his ragtag soldier at the mercy of Nigerian Army.

Alariwo2:
They were simply fools..

how many igbos can do same for Yorubas? None!
They should carry their cross and leave Yorubas out of it

No igbo man has ever died for any noble cause.
Are we talking about those that supported Abacha and justified the killing of saro wiwa?

These are some of the Yoruba that were involved in what they like to term "Igbo coup". The wicked will suggest that all Igbo should be held responsible for the actions of Nzeogwu, but Ademoyega's actions are solely his.
Of course, these guys had to fight for Biafra after the Biafrans freed them from prison. The northerners would have quickly executed them if they stepped foot in Nigeria at the time.

shukuokukobambi:


What of azikiwe? Was he a biafran traitor too? Or a hero?

Zik was working tirelessly, even with Ojukwu, to find a peaceful resolution. His efforts went a long way in getting other African leaders to attempt to intervene in the conflict.

Alariwo2:

Up till today, some yorubas are still gulity of this tendency, but thank goodness, Nairaland is exposing the dark minds of those people they think are cool with them in real life

peckhamboi:
Kindness is just inbuilt inside the Yoruba DNA.

Yorubas are also the heroes of their useless IPOB struggle, if not for Fayose and FFK, the albino would still be rotting in prison.

There was no Ibo leaders to be found then, it was only after the Yorubas freed him that they crawled out of their wood work and started visiting him at home.

Yet with all these kindness, they still repay us back with hatred.

Fayose and FFK did nothing to secure Nnamdi Kanu's release. The two blabber mouths showed up ONCE for publicity stunt at the court room. All the hard work was done behind the scenes to negotiate Kanu's release by people who actually approached the government.

ettybaba:

Again with the wicked practice of trying to condemn an entire people with the actions of a few individuals. I guess you'll tell me of the likes of Enwerem and Nzeribe supporting Abacha. How about the Yorubas that supported Abacha or have you deluded yourself that they didn't exist. What of the likes of General Diya, Abacha's second in command, Generals Adisa, Olanrewaju and others who wined and dined with Abacha while their brother Abiola was denied his mandate and languished in jail? What of all the Yoruba Obas that went to Aso rock, were paid off and pledged to forget the Abiola agitation(as confirmed by Al-Mustapha and Senator Adefuye)? Surely, their actions represent the desire of all yorubas.

Nonsense trash
nnamdi kanu is greater than oduduwa itself

kiss the truth

No Hausa fought for the Biafra army. They knew exactly how to treat the Igbos. Ruthless Agression all the way

Stop educating those Afonja clowns. They know the truth. They are only here for mischief cos the scratch burrows on their faces are itching terribly this morning.

ettybaba:

Soyinka never supported Biafra. He visited Biafra on behalf of a group of Nigerian writers to see if they could convince their colleagues on that side to abandon the Biafran project. He met with the great poet Christopher Okigbo in Enugu, and subsequently returned to Nigeria where he was jailed for visiting Biafra. This is according to Soyinka himself.

gbosaa:

You are right, I better let them wallow in their ignorance.

We the Southerners have just one mortal enemy "The Huasa Fulani " from the core north and neighbouring countries bordering the north. But it seems we Southerners are so blind to see it... Instead we are arguing amongst ourselves who is superior or not! What has superiority done for us ?

shukuokukobambi:


My very person, dey haf use ban to finish me

In fact, I have repented. Na pet I go dey pet dem now

hehehe even your moniker derserves ban

EmeeNaka:
Victor Banjo was not a Biafran hero. He was a traitor

and ifeajuna too?

what has any igbo man done for yoruba? that's the one million dollar question.

shukuokukobambi:


Are you a Nigerian? What concerns you with Nigeria? Are you no longer a Jew?

We are talking of biafran heroes here. Was azikiwe a hero? Or will you call him an efulefu?

Zik is nobody in Biafra land. He is neither a hero nor efulefu. Banjo is no Biafra hero rather a confirmed traitor(afonja).

Youngadvocate:
Biafran Heroes of Yoruba Extraction

Not many of us remember the Yoruba soldiers who fought gallantly on the side of Biafra.This is a quick attempt to remember some of them now.

1.Lt Col Victor Banjo

He was one of the first graduates to join the army alongside Ojukwu and others.The two were best of friends according to public records and individual accounts.When Ojukwu released the January 15 coup suspects in the Eastern region after the revenge coup ,Banjo stayed in the government house with him while the rest were accommodated elsewhere in Independent Layout,Enugu.
Banjo led the 3,000 strong Biafran brigade known as the "Liberation Army of Nigeria" and also called the "Midwest Expeditionary Force" in the planned invasion of Lagos.His forces reached Benin within 12 hours on August 9,1967.By this time,Nigerian forces had captured Biafran towns of Obudu, Garkem,Ogoja, Nsukka heading to Enugu and Bonny, heading to Port Harcourt.
Banjo's arguments with Ojukwu resulted in fatal tactical delays in Benin and Ore enroute Lagos for several days.He was recalled back to Enugu alongside his deputy and Quartermaster;Major Ifeajuna,court-martialed and executed with 3 others in September 1967.
Lt Col Banjo was the highest ranking Yoruba in the Biafran army.

2.Major Wale Ademoyega

One of the five majors that toppled the government of Balewa on January 15,1966,he was released from Warri prison during the Midwest invasion in August 1967 by a battalion led by Major Chukwuka; another of the five Jan 15 majors.He first commanded the Biafra newly reorganised 19th Battalion but replaced Ifeajuna as the "Liberation Army" Quartermaster General when he(Ifeajuna) was recalled back to Enugu with his commander;Col Banjo.
Ademoyega wrote a book on the Jan 15 coup titled Why We Struck.He was arrested by federal soldiers after the war,faced the military commission and was detained until October 1974.

3.Capt Ganiyu Adeleke.

He was one of the Jan 15 officers released by Ojukwu.He cordinated the Biafra 18 Battalion at Onitsha as Infantry Company commander with Major Chukwuka in readiness for the Midwest invasion.He distinguished himself in the charge toward Ore and later become an instructor at the Biafra School of Infantry.
When other Biafran soldiers who took part in the Midwest invasion were released from prison in 1974 after Gowon granted them pardon, Capt Adeleke,Lt Col Ochei and "Col Hannibal"Achuzia were exempted from pardon and remained imprisoned.

4.Lt Fola Oyewole

He also joined in setting up the Biafra 18th Battalion at Onitsha and commanded the D Company that liberated Ughelli,parts of Sapele and Warri during the Midwest expedition.
Lt Oyewole is one of the first soldier to write a very instructive book on the civil war titled the Reluctant Rebel.It is a credible account of the civil war from the eyes of an active Biafran army commander who is not from the East.
Oyewole is also one of the Biafran soldiers detained by the federal government after the war and released in 1974.

Note:

Other notable Yoruba who opposed the federal government on the Biafra war include but not limited to:
1.Wole Soyinka
2.Tai Solarin
3.Prof Hezekiah Oluwasanmi;former Vice Chancellor of OAU Ife (1966-1975)

The pictures below are arranged in line with the arrangement of the article with only Capt. Adeleke missing in the pictures
