He has ran foul of Rule 2, 3 and yet you allow him further his acts.. pls do the needful

Second division army under the control of Muritala Muhammad.

Muritala was never a general during the cuvil war.

He was a colonel.

The asaba massacre occured when taiwo took over command.


Tales from the war.


Leaders summoned the townspeople to assemble on the morning of 7 October, hoping to end the violence through a show of support for "One Nigeria." Hundreds of men, women, and children, many wearing the ceremonial akwa ocha (white) attire paraded along the main street, singing, dancing, and chanting "One Nigeria." At a junction, men and teenage boys were separated from women and young children, and gathered in an open square at Ogbe-Osowa village. Federal troops revealed machine guns, and orders were given, reportedly by Second-in-Command, Maj. Ibrahim Taiwo, to open fire.

I.B.M. Haruna has sometimes been named as the officer who ordered the massacre, following a report of his testimony to the Nigerian Human Rights Violations Investigations Commission, known as the Oputa Panel. This article quoted him as claiming responsibility (as the commanding officer) and having no apology for the atrocity. However, Haruna was not present in Asaba in 1967

In the military, the commanding officer will take responsibility for every act of his men.

Charles taylor is in prison not for his act but for the act of his men.

We know Maj taiwo ibrahim committed the act, he was in the battle field but the commanding officer will have to take the responsibility of Taiwo ibrahim massacre of igbos.

Iamgrey5:
No, in military, whenever a junior officer does something with a command, he is removed and punished.

You are to follow command or you will be punished for refusing to follow orders.

Your Northern brothers are shamless at going after soft target.

thebosstrevor1:


But Maj Taiwo didn't listen to the good command of his boss.

In our earlier discussion, you claimed that yorubas were effective in the war against igbo people.

That show that yorubas military men brought effectiveness in the form of massacre to put fear on the people

Iamgrey5:
Bruv, there was no civil war

It only happened on Yoruba media

Almanjiri doesn't exist, it only happens in Yoruba media.

Oshigun:


Do we all even exist or is Yoruba media fooling is that we do? Lol. Some Nigerians are mad no doubt.

Iamgrey5:
Why wasn't Muritala on feild fighting himself

i repeat without Yoruba military men, Igbos will have roasted you guys.

thebosstrevor1:
The yoruba press who are very quick to accuse every other tribe of maltreatment have totally failed to show us one farm destroyed by Fulanis Herdmen in the west.

During the civil war, the yoruba press were active in changing the whole yoruba nation opinions against the igbo people, infact Awolowo supported the war.

Now, the yoruba press have started again, they have convinced the whole yorubas that fulanis are on their farms but they failed to show us one single picture of farmlands destroyed by fulanis herdmen.

Till today, we only hear about those "killed " by fulanis but there haven't been any pictures except pictures of fulani cows.

This is an attempt by the yoruba press to incite violence on fulani people because President Buhari never agreed with their style of FAKENEWS.

Note, the yoruba press after Buhari arrested some journalists for spreading fake news started calling President Buhari, a Major General, now they decided to involve the fulani tribes in their FAKENEWS, now, it is backfiring.

We just hope the yoruba press wont send Nigeria into another civil war.

thebosstrevor1:


Are houses farmlands?

We need pictures of farmlands attacked by fulanis herdmen in the west

The yoruba media created all the violence and tribal war in oyo state.

HEY,,,HEY,,,HEY!!!!


STOP THAT NONSENSE.

YORUBA PEOPLE DIDNT DO ANYTHING DURING THAT WAR!! FORGET ALL THE ACCOUNTS FROM "COMPROMISED AFONJA SOURCES"
THE "IGBO" PEOPLE HAVE FACTS THAT SHOW IT WAS THE SUPPORT OF THE WEST..IDEALLY.."BRITAIN" THAT HELPED THE NIGERIAN WAR EFFORT AGAINST BIAFRA. BRITAIN...GAVE THE IDEA OF ECONOMIC BLOCKADE...BUT THE "PERSON" THAT MADE THE PRONUCEMENT WAS "AWOLOWO".
IGBOSs FOUGHT NOT ONLY AGAINST THE NIGERIAN STATE ...BUT ALSO AGAINST WESTERN POWERS THAT SHOWED "TACTIC" SUPPORT TO THE NIGERIAN STATE.

ALSO CONCERNING...THOSE THAT REALLY FOUGHT AGAINST BIAFRA LOCALLY...


APART FROM SABOTEURS "WHICH IS NORMAL IN WAR TIME" LIKE---SARO WIWA, ADAKA BORO AND CO

BENUE/PLATEAU AND EVEN "NIGER REPUBLIC AND CHADIAN" CONSCRIPTS FOUGHT AGAINST THE BIAFRANs AND THEY RECIEVED THE HIGHEST LOSSES.

CASAULTY FIGURES STATE THAT APPROXIMATELY:--

120,000 BIAFRA SOILDERS DIED..AND...
600,000 NIGERIAN SOILDERS DIED


SO @IAMGREY....YORUBA OFFICERS DIRECTED TROOPS FROM THEIR OFFICES (IN SMALL ENCOUNTERS AGAINT THE BIAFRANS)...........THE REAL WARRIORS OF THE WAR FROM THE NIGERIAN SIDE ARE THE "MIDDLE BELTERS AND MECENARIES FROM NORTH AFRICA.WHO WERE DIRECTED BY NORTHERNERS!!

IN SUMMARY...STOP BEATING YOUR "FLAT CHEST"...... YORUBA NO GET MOUTH DURING THE BIAFRA WAR...

CONTINJE WITH YOUR DEBATE...I JUST WANTED TO CLEAR THAT "SCAM NOTION" OF YORUBA PARTICIPATION DURING THE WAR!!

Many people will disagree with you, even Obasanjo will.

His experience of the civil war he partaked in was written in his book, My Watch

Akiara:
OBASANJO ...IS A COWARD!!

HE IS JUST FORTUNATE...BUT HE AINT BRAVE!!

WHAT TO YOU EXPECT FROM A MAN KNOWN TO ALWAYS POSITION HIMSELF AS THE BEST THING AFETR "LIFE".

A MAN THAT SLEEPS WITH HIS SONS WIFE AINT A "LION" HE IS AN OPPORTUNIST AND A WEAK REPRESENTATION OF A MAN.

WHEN THE COUP THAT "OUTSTED "MURITALA" WAS ACCOMPLISHED ...OBASANJO HAS ALREADY "RAN AWAY" IT WAS YARADUA SENIOR THAT TOLD HIM TO SIT HIS "BUTT" DOWN.

SO FORGET GRANDSTANDING...HE WASNT A BRAVE MAN...HE WAS JUST OPPORTUNED TO BE IN THE MIDST OF THE WHOLE ARRANGEMENT.

thebosstrevor1:


You cant call a former General and a civilian president a coward, if he was, he wouldn't have been in that position

thebosstrevor1:


You have gone to call the mods.

You can't run from the truth.

When nairaland was posting to the frontpage, conspiracies against fulani people thereby promoting violence, you didn't remember that some rules were broken, now you remembered that rules were broken when i decided to write about the yoruba people
