The best comment so far.

Igbo: We don't want Nigeria

Yoruba: But your Zik refused secession clause

Igbo: Secession clause wouldn't have survived Awo and Gowon decrees

Yoruba: But Ironsi killed Nigeria regions

Igbo: Shows proof of Gowon dissolving the regions with Yoruba support..

Yoruba: Starts showing Igbo pictures of suffering and starving Biafrans as scare mongering tactics

Igbo: Not perturbed, still want Biafra to ensure my children don't share a country with a people who take pride in the starvation of their forebearers

Yoruba: Starts threatening Igbo with another civil war and destruction, reminding him how he lost the first war.

Igbo: Unfazed by the empty threat, still want Biafra.

Yoruba: Fill with anger and venom says, we are not stopping you from Biafra, talk to your law markers and politicians

Igbo: If you don't care about Biafra why then were you trying to blackmail us with secession clause , Ironsi, and then scaremongering us with starvation pics and threats of war

Yoruba: Turns to obfuscation, and starts ranting: Biafra will be landlocked, we will get the SS to hate you and make sure you have no access to the ocean. We will seize all your property in Lagos and Nigeria, you will no longer have access to Nigerian markets, we will deport and tax you to death.

Igbo: Tries to disprove the insinuations that Biafra is landlocked by providing maps and articles on international river treaties. Accepts to concede property in Nigeria if thats what it takes.

Yoruba: Goes on to open multiple accounts claiming to be from SS. Tries to incite SS against Ndiigbo in bid to ensure Biafra would have difficulties with sea access . Claims Ndiigbo marginalized SS in Eastern region and Biafra, clai

Naso. Their treachery is transparent.
They have been found out. They deceive no one.
We have them figured out to a dot. Before they even open their mouths, we already know what they would say, and when they talk, we already know what they are not saying.

Claims Ndiigbo marginalized SS in Eastern region and Biafra, claims that Ndiigbo are planning to forcefully annex minorities into Biafra.


Igbo: Provides evidence of Igbo fair dealings with minorities, provides documents on willink commission report, on Eastern region political and appointment positions showing fairness in representation of minorities in the Eastern region government.
Provides evidence that 2/3 minorities would have voted for Biafra should a referendum have been conducted.

The above is the cyclic chronicle of Igbo/Yoruba online squabble.

Yorubas wiill simply not give up in trying to throw in obstacles to Igbo Biafra dreams, yet wants to convince us they don't care about Biafra?
We are more than equal to eviscerate all Yoruba treachery to stop or discredit Biafra.
I forecast that until Biafra is achieved and Yorubas realize their efforts were in vain, they will not stop trying to discredit Biafra agitation by trying to claim that Igbos don't have moral right to want out of Nigeria using secession clause and Ironsi debunked propaganda,as well as trying to paint a gloomy picture of Biafra in bid to make it unattractive to Igbos and force us to drop the struggle, by claiming that Biafra would be landland locked and that Igbos property all over Nigeria would be seized as well as reminding us that our traders scattered all over Nigeria would be deported or taxed to death by Nigeria post Biafra secession.
When this fails to deter the Igbo, they would resort to threats of genocidal war against Ndiigbo.
And as long as Yorubas would not stop in this treacherous behaviour, Ndiigbo will not stop fighting back.

So in essence. Only Biafra actualization will make Igbos and Yorubas friends again. Maybe friends is an overexaggertion, but you get the point.

Granted dear.

You can even re edit and claim the original post.

Anything to spread the good news of Igbo nationalism is welcomed.
Infact, don't associate my moniker with the post if you are sharing on facebook.

I like being behind the scenes. Not all of us enjoy spotlight.

well you have to admit...it was Gowon and Awolowo who were incharge during those dark years.

Gowon is from middle belt
Awolowo is Yoruba...but then again the politics of that era was not done with consent of ordinary people. Just the elites.

And yes... Germany and Israel are allies now...so can we be with the igbos
What is your problem with them? Seems Love don cover your eye. I hail your Igbo guy oo.

it just shameful. Unless we unite like the days of obasanjo, the much awaited 2023 yoruba president will end up being a northern puppet and will spend 4 or 8 years without any enduring legacy for the south
Stop deceiving urself. There was nothing like 2O23 Yoruba presidency. It has always been reserved for Igbos after OBJ and Buhari's 8 years respectively. Una just wan make this country burn down by all means abi. We are watching as the election year draws nigh.

So Yorubas killed 3 million igbos?

In the second world war Germany actually maimed Jews and used them as target practice in Nazi concentration camps but today Germans and Jews are allies.
How did 3 million people die? na world war?

Onuku You earlier told us Biafra had no business with Lagos yet we see their soldiers on the way to Lagos

Below is the letter from ojukwu to Banjo

From: The Military Governor,
Republic of Biafra Enugu,
22nd August, 1967.
My dear Victor,
1. For some time now, you and I have been discussing the circumstances that have led to the current and inevitable disintegration of what was the Federation of Nigeria. We have been fully convinced that the aim of the Hausa/Fulani complex has ever been, and will ever remain, the total domination of every other part of what was known as the Federation of Nigeria. It is impossible to forget that the crisis which led to the army take over in January 1966, the coup of the Northern soldiers led by Gowon in July 1966, the wholesale and indiscriminate massacre of the people of what is now Biafra- and, to a less degree,the people of the Mid-West and West, including the Yorubas, were all the direct result of Hausa/Fulani attempt to subjugate and use as tools,the gallant people of Western Nigeria namely the Yorubas. We do not need to remind ourselves of the heavy losses in life and property suffered by the Yoruba people in their fight for justice and freedom during 1965.

3. After clearing the whole question with my Executive Council, I, as the Commander in Chief of the Biafran Armed Forces, have decided to place at your disposal Biafran forces, for the liberation of
Yorubaland on the following clear conditions:-
(i)You will have nothing to do with the Military Administrator in the Mid-West Territory during your sojourn there prior to your move to the West.
(ii)The willingness and preparedness of Biafra to assist any part of the former Federation of Nigeria wishing and willing to liberate itself from the Hausa/Fulani domination, does not in anyway whatever
imply any inclination on her part to compromise her sovereignty or preserve what remains of the defunct Federation of Nigeria. In other words, our sovereignty and break with Nigeria is irrevocable. Nothing must, therefore be said or done by you or any member of the Liberation Army to give a contrary impression.
(iii)Biafra is determined to maintain and safeguard her sovereignty and ensure that her integrity and safety are never again threatened.

(iv)Biafran troops will, after the liberation of the Yorubaland, remain in that territory only for as long as we in Biafra consider it necessary for the Yorubas to consolidate their position and sovereignty against any external threat.
(v)On the liberation of the Yorubaland, you will be appointed as the Military Governor of that territory.
(vi)The liberation of Western Nigeria will be a prelude to the liberation of all Yorubas up to the River Niger and the severance of all connections between the West and the North at Jebba.
(vii)During the period of Biafrans troops’ presence in your territory, all political measures, statements or decrees shall be subject to the approval, in writing by myself or on my authority.
(viii)Should our troops arrive and liberate Lagos, the government of the Republic of Biafra reserves the right to appoint a Military administrator for the territory. Such an Administrator will remain in office until a merger of that territory with Yorubaland is effected by Biafran troops.

(ix)As soon as possible after your appointment as the Military Governor of Western Nigeria and separation of that territory from Nigeria, you and I must meet to discuss:
(a)the duration of stay of Biafran troops in your territory;
(b)the areas and subjects of cooperation between the liberated sovereign states of Western Nigeria, or by what name it may call itself, and Biafra.
4. I do not need to remind you that Biafra regards all Yoruba as friends. As such everything should be done, to ensure the minimum force and loss of life are involved in achieving the objective of liberation.

5. It is essential, in order to avoid misunderstanding or confusion, thatall subsequent requests for support be formally made to me by youin writing
6. Will you please signify in writing, your acceptance of the above conditions so that you may leave for Western Nigeria and lead the army of liberation.

Yours very sincerely,
signed Lt. Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu,
Military Governor and Commander in Chief of Biafran Armed Forces.

That's the way it's done in EVERY PART OF THE WORLD being that lagos was the capital then. So I don't see the point you have here. Biafra had no plan to attack west in any way.
