I do not need Reno Omokri to validate the courageous of my tribe

Until Igbos come with fighting up to one quarter of the wars Yorubas have fought, discussion is off the table. If they like, they should continue calling Yoruba whatever they want. History will always acknowledge who the braves are and who the cowards are.

Some of the wars Yoruba fought include but not limited to

British-Ijebu war where Ijebu kingdom held the british to standstill until the british used marcenaries and maxim machine gun to defeat the Ijebus

Osogbo war where the invading fulani force meant their defeat in the hands of combined Yoruba forces

Egba-Dahomey war where Egba defeated Dahomey kingdom twice

Jalumi war that resulted in the defeat of Ilorin.

Kiriji war, a civil war between independent Yoruba kingdoms that lasted for 16 years

Ibadan-Ijaiye war

Owu war etc.

Also, it is in history that Yoruba invaded Ilorin, burnt down the palace and killed the emir in 1896. If Ilorin people decided they want Emir because of their Islamic belief, that doesn't make Ilorin less of a Yoruba town.

[b] everybody know the real cowards are igbos. what they are doing is what is called deflection. its a mental disease in that what you see in yourself is what you project to others. its like how the men who cheat the most are the ones who are most suspicious of their wives because they are projecting their own infidelity on their wife. its a common psychological disorder. if you are a coward you tend to project that insecurity of yours on other people. CASE CLOSED. when it comes to bravery in naija i can objectively name 3 tribes that take the award for bravery in nigeria and that is yoruba, hausa and fulan . igbos are themost cowards which is why they always cry of being oppressed. have you ever heard warriors cry of oppression or begging to be released to form their own nation ? warriors dont cry and beg like igbos. warriors take what they want. warriors dont admit to being oppressed in their own country. thats cowardice. this whole cry for biafra is cowardice. either step up and take it violently or keep quiet. stop crying like a 2 year old girl WE WANT BAIFRA, YORUBA AND FULANI IS OPPRESSING US WAHHH WAHHH WAHHH [/b]

Fela!! That died of Hiv aids..shame.. When they federal govt were holding him hostage did any of you cowards talk or protest? ..even they killed his mom, you pple were still looking like mumu.

Which war did your flattino forefathers fight in your history? Non. Do you Igbos have history atall?

EmekaMD:
Forget this bigotry and get the message properly..

I also wish I have the powers to bring the igbos and the Yorubas (and by extension other Southerners) to a political alignment.

We'll moves mountains together. We'll reclaim Nigeria from the North that has held all of us (Igbos and Yorubas alike) captives..
Then we can assemble the best brains (instead of quota system) and build the Nigeria of our dreams

Even before the advent of the britain...Yorubas are the only tribe in nigeria that fought civil war with themselves.

Egba vesus oyo empire is an example.

PearlStreet:




In 1999, Igbos betrayed ekwueme at the PDP primaries and voted Obasanjo at the elections.

In 2003, they betrayed ojukwu who contested under APGA and voted for Obasanjo of PDP.

In 2007, they once again betrayed Orji Uzor kalu of PPA and voted Yar'Adua of PDP.

In 2011, Igbos as usual voted Goatluck under PDP instead of Osita okechukwu.

In 2015, they voted gej again, but he lost.

The question shoud be "would Igbos vote an Igbo man as President or betray him as usual?"

BuariCopyPaste:
As long as Kwara a hitherto Yoruba land remains the Fulani property, cowardice is spelled out.

Abiola saga, Awolowo's shameful suicide, Ogundipe fleeing to London even when not threatened, the other general crying and begging a subordinate to spare him, Mile12 saga, Hausa and Yoruba olotun beans sellers clash in Osun... ..etc

I have many reasons to call them bloody cowards...

Mujtahida:
And please someone should open a thread on the history of opposition politics in Nigeria cos some sort of historical revisionism is taking place with some people calling the Yorubas slaves of the Hausa because of the current coalition of the Apc formed from ACN and CPC and ANPP. But others have collaborated with the the North even before the West did. Let the records be set straight.

Cheers

Abiola's bravery is uncommon in Nigeria's history and without him, we would probably still be under military rule today.

ERockson:
We can name brave Yoruba men like Wole Soyinka, Tai Solarin, Tnubu, Fela, FFK, Fayose etc Can Ibo name any anybody dead or alive in their land that can match the bravery of these people? It cannot be Kanu for now until we see more of him

WORLDPEACE:

If you look at it from the angle that there are kids here, censorship is not a bad idea. We want people to be informed not radicalised. This is how extremist groups recruit vulnerable people. If you follow some people here you would see they are fertile soil for extremist ideas. People need to be responsible for their words and actions. That in my opinion is what real life is about.

YorubaForum:

That will show you the amount of cowardness in them, they are always afraid to fight external enemy because of fear of getting slaughtered... They fight and killed theirselves, yet can't fight the federal govt.. What a shame..

Daboomb:


You are actually mis-informed!

Use Google to search and read about the Japanese Culture of HARAKIRI.

In Yorubas culture, it is stated as "Instead that l be ridiculed, l would rather die"
Self-immolation is the act of the bravest, among the bravest.

Mind you, l am not referring to those who commit suicide out of weakness (e.g, l am owing debt and l decide to jump into the Lagoon or somebody abuse me or call me names and l am feeling depressed and l therefore kill myself.).

I am talking about LEADERS who will rather die in a "self-dignified" manner.
In the Japanese culture, if your tribe fails in winning a war, the Leader of the opposing side, while recognising your fierce resistance, will offer you the choice to either be beheaded by him.... or present you with a sword, with which you must take your own life, in your own style, in the most dignified manner you can do so.
That is where the phrase "Falling on your Sword", comes from.
Awolowo "fell on his own sword", like a brave man.

When Ojukwu lost the Civil war, will millions of his people decimated, if he was a "brave Warrior", he would stand his ground and make his last stand. He wont allow himself to be captured and disgraced by federal Soldiers but he would rather, in a dignifed manner, "fall on his own sword".
Instead, he dressed like a Woman and FLED to Ivory Coast!
Now compare that!

logica:
Ha ha. What we've heard has been Ojukwu's criticism of Adebayo's "conduct". Meanwhile this Ojukwu the critic who was already safely ensconced in the South East STILL decided to relocate and hide away in a perceived more secure location elsewhere in the South East. Yet he "encouraged" the perceived "dummy" Adebayo to continue sticking his neck out and wait for Madam Guillotine's blade; even as the said Adebayo's subordinates were disregarding his orders and there was complete breakdown in the Chain of Command. Who be mugu?

evilyoruba:
Ojukwu has right to run away because he he was fighting on multiple fronts....no Yoruba dead or alive can fight on just 2 fronts....but as for zik, his greedy to preserve his name took a better part of him

Obasanjo was just up against abacha, but ojukwu was up against both Yoruba, Hausa Fulani's and minorities, then, British the true owner of Nigeria.... Ojukwu was fighting war where his people were been killed ....There is no comparison between Obj and ojukwu situation, neither is there a comparison between awo and zik situation... Diabolical suffercated yorubas always find way to twist everything...
