Wen a Battalion was setup by biafra to attack the capital of lagos, Ojukwu chose Banjo to lead them, they were supposed to travel swiftly n reach Lagos in the morning.

Banjo got to Ore and refused to advance n that gave nigeria the opportunity to restrategise n repel the attack, the war may have ended if that battalion got to lagos.

That was the main thing thsy cost Banjo his life.

Let's assumed that Banjo failed the task given to him and the coward who never stepped the war front throughout the three years of war ordered his execution. What did he do when he himself failed? He ran, in woman's skirt and blouse. Lol

Ojukwu was called upon to defend his people and he did so for 3 years, Yorubas have never stood up to the hausa for once in nigerian history do not have the grounds to call anyone a coward as long as nigeria and eastern nigeria is concerned

That wasn't the case. Nobody called him to defend anything, he led his people into a needless war because of selfishness and self centeredness

PrecisionFx:
Ojukwu didn't declare biafra because he wanted to, he did so because eastern nigeria told him so.

We told him to do so because of the genocide against igbos that lasted for 10 months n claimed the life of over 30,000 igbos

If you told him to declare war, then why are you guys lamenting that 3 million souls were lost during the war?

""That wasn't the case. Nobody called him to defend anything""

Normal daft afonja.

The events that led to Ojukwu being called to defend his people has nothing to do with cowards like ur race...a people who have never stood up to the fulani for 60 years even after abiola was slaughtered by the fulani and even wen fajuyi was wasted by the fulani + wen Awolowo was jailed and thousands of yoruba protesters were killed by reh fulani. All u do is chooo ur useless mouth on igbo matters, cant u exist without igbos? Cant u survive without igbos? Will u die if u stop talking nonsense. COWARD

LegendHero:


I understand you but I also reserve my right to have my school of thought.

That war can be also termed the war of oil. There are lot of evidence I have that can give credence to that fact.

The Yoruba nation are a different kind of breed and we can never be slave to anyone. Think about it, the Yorubas are the only group of ethnic group that have learnt to live as a separate country in Nigeria.

Our music, culture, Nolywood, migration lifestyle, etc is always laid back and we are more of reserved within our ethnic group rather than associate.

We will still have our own Oduduwa republic, but we are here to milk the oil dry first for our development, after that we can deploy all machinery to leave the union once and for all.

All government favors the Yorubas even if we are in opposition, we have some form of advantage over other regions which might be attributed to Lagos attraction power. No matter what I will still maintain that we are not slave just that we are more wiser.

In the hierarchy of leadership, the Yorubas have held position of power and we are not cry baby that always wail over little things like Lilly livered souls.

We can confront the north, we have confronted the north before and by 2023 we will still confront the north. We are not third class citizen, we don’t fear nobody, we aim at the goal and we can make use of anyone to achieve our target, even our enemies.

Well sorry for the Igbo nation, but I want you to know you can’t have your Biafra without our cooperation. Rather than abuse the Yorubas online which is the insignia of most of you on Nairaland, it will be more beneficial to ally instead.

Ojukwu and Igbos giving people nightmares since 1966. We are the history. We are the stuff of legends. We are fearless. We had and will continue to tell any useless human being that want to mess with us to shut the Bleep up.

My dear the sniper propaganda is Igbo theory
Ojuku ran away like a shameless coward and that’s facts and documented
A typical Igbo man
All noise no substance

See the real cowards here. Nadeco chiefs that ran away tails between their legs the moment Abacha meant business by gunning down Kudirat. They were making lots of noise all over air space till Sergent Rogers and his boys invaded south West. Not a whole Nigerian Army, no Egyptian pilots flying over south West airspace, no Russian fighters, no British commanders. Not a single army being commanded by any body. No military blockade. No refugee situation. No war situation. Just , Sergent Rogers and his boys doing practice ,had the following so called 'men' scampering for safety.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Dele Momodu
Dan Suleiman
Gen. ALani Akinrade
Dr. Amos Arongundale
Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi
Prof. Wole Soyinka and many others.

I don't want to talk about the crying general, Oladipo Diya.


Abacha, was flogging the sophisticated morons with iron belt and all they could do was run.

But their children are all over cyberspace mocking a man who when the holocaust against his people was going on, decided to be a man. He pursued peace at Aburi, he demanded that Army hierarchy be maintained and power given a yoruba man Gen Ogundipe who was next in line. He demanded for true confederation. For months, puppet Gowon could not guarantee the safety of his people. Their existence was under threat. Then instead of doing the right thing his region was divided into two to cause confusion and distraction. He made a smart move, to go with his people when they could still fight as one, instead of waiting until they have been weakened by internal politics so that the enemy could rip them apart one at a time.

For 3 years he made mockery of the Nigerian army and their foreign allies. Under his leadership, his people manufactured weapons to defend themselves. Confused and lacking ideas on how to defeat a determined and ingenious people, Gowon sought the advice of a witch from the oil soup region. 'Starve and kill their children and they will surrender' Gowon picked the idea. While the hero confronted the invaders at the war front, the coward enemy army was busy bombing and maiming civilian population that the blockade policy couldn't finish off. The result was 2 million children and about 500,000 adult civilians dead. Only less than 300,000 Biafran soldiers died in that war.
While Nigeria lost close to 1 million soldiers.

It was obvious to Ojukwu that a Jihad was on. When he was sure there was no fight left in his people he took his exit. No Nigerian soldier merited the honour of catching the lion alive. He remained the finest soldier that will ever emerge from this part of the world.

i hope you know sowore is ijaw and not a yoruba muslim.
Cant you see he is bold and quite fearless.
But ijaws and ss and se have dymped him since he has the guts to betray ijaws son because of his yoruba muslim neighbours.

Ode Sango, where do you hear Ijaw person bearing yoruba name? For your poorly educated self, Sowore in Omoluabi's language means friendship in Business. Find a meaning of this name in Ijaw and your blind argument and claim will hold. When Odua republic become reality, animals like you will be clamoring to join by hook or crook. However, lets leave that issue for now and continue tolerating all you neighbors from hell, while Nigeria holds sway.

He proved that when he murdered Banjo and he, himself ran away in a woman's skirt and blouse

Before you make this kind of statement, go and do your research.

Do you know that it was Ojukwu who released Banjo from jail

Do you know that Banjo lived with Ojukwu in Government House Enugu?

Do you know that Ojukwu trusted Banjo enough to give him command of a whole Brigade of Biafran Soldiers?

So why would Ojukwu kill his bosom friend?

Banjo was the cause of his own death. Banjo conspired with Ifeajuna, Agbam and Alale to overthrow Ojukwu and negotiate with the Nigerian government. Banjo was secretly recorded at progress hotel Enugu where he was putting finishing touches to his plan to arrest Ojukwu at Government House Enugu.

Ifeajuna, Banjo, Agbam and Alale, who were all officers in the Biafran Army, were arrested, tried in court, found guilty and executed

If you want to know how Banjo and co plotted to eliminate Ojukwu, plus the transcript of their trial, go and read a book written by Bernard Ojukwu titled "No Place to Hide: Crises and Conflicts Inside Biafra"

Just say the pilot that helped ojukwu to cowardly flee after deceiving his tribesmen and women to embark on a futile mission thereby bringing death and untold hardship upon themselves.

Just like Awo who committed suicide after considering his huge commitment/ help to Nigeria to kill over 5million Biafrans and was assured to be a Nigerian President only to be betrayed.

sarrki:
Capt Osakwe was so trusted by Gen Ojujwu that he entrusted his life to him. At the last hours of Biafra, Ojukwu had to make that historical departure from Biafra.

Ojukwu's failure to exit would have been a fatal error of sure death to him. Many other Biafran pilots were ready to do that last flight for the General. But Ojukwu trusted none but Capt Osakwe to ferry him to safety.

A wrong saboteur would have just diverted the plane elsewhere, and the rest is history. Ojukwu trusted Capt Osakwe who delivered him to safety.

Osakwe was from Umuikem village in Onitsha. Any side talk that Onitsha people were not supportive of Biafra is unsubstantiated. Even the chief justice of Biafra, Justice Louis Mbanefo was from Onitsha too. Mbanefo drafted Biafran surrender instrument, and he led Biafra delegates to surrender to Gen Gowon in 1970, Jan 15th.

..History lesson!!

Bump.

Onicha Ado N'Idu.


@sarrki,

Many Onitsha natives were locked up, died, and were forcibly conscripted into the secession move of the rebel leader as child soldiers during the 2 years and 6 months Nigerian Civil War.

In a 2006 interview that I read, Olisa Agbakoba said he and his older brother were teenagers as of 1967 when they were conscripted against their will and taken to the battlefield after being earlier thrown into prison.

He said Ukpabi Asika's role in the rejection of the secession and Asika's role in 1967 as the
Administrator of the East Central State (Now the 5 states of the
South East) may have been responsible for the maltreatment
of Onitsha indigenes by Ojukwu's rebels.

Meanwhile, their legal luminary father was safely in Lagos on Nigerian soil (outside the rebel enclave).
