You can continue to wail and blame yorubas for your failure. We don't care. Yorubas don't owe you sh.it. your forefathers wasted their lives in a war they started. It was a war and not inter house sport. They killed and got killed as well. When they lost, they term it invasion and genocide to cover up for their weakness, cowardice and failure. If you guys are not happy that your forefathers lost in a war they started, it is not too late to start another one. You can try your luck and see if you'll be victorious this time. But remember that there is no mercy in war. You go all out to kill, destroy and dominate. No such nonsense as war crime. You can keep crying and wailing yorubas all your lives or just take the action and start the fight. Your rantings won't change sh.it. 4 Likes |

Wow this topic was an epic revelation of flabbergasting proportion. God bless nairaland for being such a place where Nigerians do their dirty laundries . What people like us summed up based on our personal observation of the Biafran war, is finally out in the open and it's in black and white. Yoruba ronu o. 1 Like |

selemempe: Biafra was not a Midwest project why was their popular non Igbo Gov Ejoor who was appointed by Ironsi and reappointed by Gowon removed to make way for an Igbo Gov Okonkwo whom they never wanted or asked for? Igbo were not the Majority in the Midwest , What business did Ojukwu have imposing his kinsman on a majority non Igbo population? Can you see why the invasion of the Midwest was so unpopular with the locals? 2 Likes |

Christistruth00: What are you talking about? Ejoor is an Uhrobo man and Uhrobo were not a majority in the old Midwest. Major Albert Okonkwo was also a Midwesterner. If the Midwesterners were unhappy with the invasion of the Biafran forces, worse was to happen to them when the mainly Northern Nigerian forces invaded the Midwest and drove the Biafran forces out. The Midwest recorded one the highest massacres of civilians by the Nigerian Army. Not only that, Gowon renamed the Bendel state and those who followed divided the place into Edo and Delta and handed all their resources to the Federal Government A thriving Midwest that had resource control under Ironsi and was declared an independent Republic by Ojukwu is now made up of two unitary states that are begging for 13% derivation in Nigeria. All of this because they accepted Northern domination like the Western Region Ojukwu wanted Southern Nigeria to be free of Nigeria and Northern domination, the rest chose to remain in Nigeria under Northern subjugation. A pity |

gartamanta: Na who send ojukwu? I thought he was fighting for biafra but here you 're telling us that he was fighting for the whole southern nigeria. According to his duplicitous minions, Ojukwu only embarked on the path of war after the enugu consultative assembly he hand-picked, mandated him to rebel against national authority. At no time, did Ojukwu consulted with the rest of us (in the south) before he decided to save us from "northern subjugation". He probably thought he doesn't need our consent. 1 Like |

T9ksy: Yeah, Ojukwu must have been evil not to have consulted you before fighting so that you dont become a Northern slave. How bad of Ojukwu to send Biafran troops to the West to rescue Yorubas after their Military Governor, Fajuyi, had been killed like a Chicken and their most Senior Military officer who was supposed to be the next head of state, Ogundipe, had been chased away from Lagos and the Western Region occupied by the Northerners. Terrible of Ojukwu |

Reading the letter, one can see that the main aim of Ojukwu was to dislodge Gowon and his Northern cabal from Lagos. Had that happened, there is no way Gowon could have fought the Biafran war. All Yorubas had to do was rally round Banjo, chase Gowon out of Lagos and declare Oduduwa Republic. Today, the Yorubas are stuck inside Nigeria, begging the North for appiontments, begging the North for Presidency, begging the North for restructuring and it wont be long before they beg the North for air to breathe. Ojukwu was thinking about how to achieve freedom, the rest were thinking about how to sink deeper into slavery 1 Like |

gartamanta:This write-up shows how shameless and stupid you are, Victor banjo never planned a coup, Ojukwu merely used him as a scapegoat and to cover for his(Ojukwu's) flaws, Ojukwu like Nnamdi Azikiwe was a power obsessed idiot..... Talking about Awolowo, he proposed d Secession clause in 1955 but Nnamdi Azikiwe's greed made him rejected the idea and threatened to report Awolowo to the Brits and accused him of treason... But you guys always come on here to wail forgetting to remember that Igbos are the real causes of Nigeria's woes 2 Likes |

gartamanta: You are a very big fool if you forget to remember that Fajuyi was killed alongside Aguiyi Ironsi who died as a result of his refusal to punish Nzeogwu and other igbo officers that planned the 1966 bloody coup. Because of tribal reasons. These officers were not punished and were even paid their full salary .. This prompted the counter coup |
