Where is this secret recording? We have records of Banjo's trial but how come this secret recording cannot be found anywhere?

I can only assume it got lost in the war but the book says that Banjo and Ifeajuna were secretly recorded by Ben Odogwu at a meeting they had at progress Hotel Enugu where they were putting finishing touches their plan to overthrowing Ojukwu.

It included arresting Ojukwu at the state house. The taoes were played at the trial that helped nail Banjo

And you said you "assumed" it has gotten lost, yet you believed there was a record by someone to nail another. Then it got lost

Is Banjo more important than any other person that died in the war?

I don't think you'd have much choice if you were him either.
It was unfortunate he became the victim of circumstance on every side - federal govt sees him as an outcast so he couldn't return home, Ojukwo uses that fact to recruit him base on his wealth of military experience but later blackmail him, while the same west he was trying to liberate sees his action as a treasonous.

He is important BC he predicted the deaths to follow if Biafra didn't surrender. Ojukwu killed him BC he suggested a surrender.

There is nothing I like more than reading about Nigeria' history and occurrences that lead us to a divided Nigeria we have now. I pray tribal issues are settled and for Nigeria to be great again.

SEOManiac:


Banjo isn't more important than my Uncle.

All these post are good for the bereaved. To some of us, it makes no sense.

We have mourned our loss. Opening this wound wouldn't stop anything.

Mujtahida:

It is precisely your loss that should make you appreciate their loss and grief. Your pain should make you empathic not callous for only then can it be creative. The choice is yours.

SEOManiac:


You're blabbing.

How much empathy was shown towards my own loss in the write-up?

fumiswtpusy:
Even though I am a yoruba girl,i am so happy how ojukwu executed these backstabber by ordering him to be shot severally before he finally died crying like a baby about to be deflowerd.
Moral lesson.
Never mess with biafrans or betray.or you get the banjo treatment.even me funmi I am always afraid of biafrans.

Mujtahida:

Do your own write up, tell us about your Uncle, your loss, your pain, your grief. Sometimes the carnage of war tends to be in the abstract. It is personal stories that break the spell of abstraction and make us feel the pain together. This now is about Victor Banjo. Surely you know on a forum like this you have opportunity to have your say now.

captleonerd:
the idea of liberating a west that didn't want to be liberated is a lie sold to him by ojukwu. the Midwest was captured in a bid to split the attention of the federal forces.

the point where he made the vital mistake was choosing to stay and fight for the biafrans instead of leaving the country with his family

EMMAUGOH:
In there was a country by Chinua Achebe. Banjo was given a task to match to Lagos but he stopped ate Ore after netting Obasanjo who denied him entry.
He returned in disastrous manner

oluwaahmed:

In col. Ademoyega's book- why we struck; it was revealed dat Banjo had secret meetins wit yoruba elders and monarchs @ deir seige in ore.dis emissaries of yoruba pple wanted him 2 liberate Lagos from FG troops but also turn around and declare one nigeria wit a new govt dominated by Yoruba (dis is not far from d truth as most yoruba leaders were highly ethnic oriented & natural betrayers).

Thank you. Well said.
