I know this will generate some debate but records need to be set straight. I saw this piece on FB and I think it is worth sharing:

"They" Say YORUBA are cowards... Really?

Did you know that the major actors responsible for the Victory of the ill-fated civil war were Yorubas (Benjamin Adekunle, Olusegun Obasanjo, Gen Yinka Adebayo, Obafemi Awolowo, etc)

Did you know that it was "ONLY" the Yorubas that stood by Ojukwu in his early days in exile despite being a Treasonable felony to do so?

Did you know that "NO" Igbo leader, not even one, had the guts to visit Ojukwu in exile within the first seven years? Only Yoruba 'cowards' like Wole Soyinka, Tai Solarin & co were Brave enough to visit and spend time with him in Abidjan.

Did you know that out of all his contemporaries it was only the Zik of Africa that "Ran" abroad during the political turbulence of the late 60s?
Did you know that if Abiola was to be Igbo in the case of June 12th, they won't have gotten Obasanjo?

Did you know that despite the heroic welcome given to Ikemba upon his return from exile, the same people "rejected" him from becoming a senator less than a year after?

Yorubas are not cowards.

We are Compassionate Deep Thinkers who don't do things precipitously and we see way beyond tomorrow & now.

We don't fight wars we can win with "Brains" with hands. We don't make senseless noise just to attract needless attention or sympathy
We are Warriors who use Great Ideas, Intellect, and Strategies to fight wars.

We can decide to lose a battle just to win a war.

We are the most Sophisticated Microcosm of this entity called Nigeria.

We are the "glue" that binds Nigeria together (Happening As I Type).

We are YORUBA'S, Ómo To Ni Ran, Òmo Lua Bi.

The Descendants of ODUDUWA!.

You are right....ibos snitches on themselves alot.

God bless you for this kind gesture.
He needs it

Some Yorubas are foolhardy, they do things by rote without checking the weather (I also do this).

Also, we come across as very rude sometimes, like we don't understand the meaning of manners.

Just saying.
