illicit: You know History !!!! Do you know that Col Hilary Njoku the most Senior Biafran Officer and some other guys who opposed Ojukwu’s War were supposed to be on the execution list but Tribalism got them removed in the end it was Ifeajuna from Anambra State, Banjo from Ogun State , Sam Agbam from Rivers State and Philip Alale from Rivers State again that were executed in Public Ifeajuna was killed because Ojukwu saw him as too big a threat afterall Ifeajuna had already killed a whole Prime Minister in a Coup The worse part was that the first Trial had already found Banjo not guilty so Ojukwu quickly arranged a second kangaroo trial with no right of appeal and executed them almost immediately According to Prof Omigbodun who is Col Banjo’s daughter Ojukwu was her fathers very good Friend and his best friend in the Army. Despite all the family’s appeals after the War Ojukwu never returned his friends body to his family for burial . 6 Likes |

Od course there are wonderful Yoruba people and we cherish them so much. Only the few wicked ones make it look like Yorubas are bad or hate Igbos. That's why Soyinka allowed his son to marry from Igbo land. He stood for fairness. Condemned invasion of Biafra land in the 60s. Yoruba youths ought to be taking counsel from people of integrity like Soyinka, Adesina, Osinbajo, etc and not thieves and drug convicts cum political criminal like Tinubu corrupting the entire Yoruba youths with tribal politics |

Christistruth00:Ifeajuna didn't kill Tafawa Belewa. It was Nwaobosi. Ojukwu executed Ifeajuna his in-law, so what are you saying Do you know the action of Banjo caused Ojukwu the Biafra war Biafran special forces who headed towards Lagos to capture the Nigerian capital so Gowon could relocate Nigerian government to Kaduna which would give Biafra an edge to win the war fast without much loss of life should they capture Lagos capital then, suddenly stopped their advancement towards Lagos at Ore on the orders of Banjo. Banjo who was trusted with commanding the Biafran forces to capture Lagos intentionally halted their advancement at Ore for no reason. They had already taken over Midwest Nigeria including Benin, Warri, etc and was advancing towards Lagos to capture Lagos and end the war so Gowon could announce a surrender and let Biafra go and Biafra will then withdraw back to Eastern region leaving Lagos for the West. Banjo foiled that movement and relayed classified military information back to Gowon government which made them sent heavy reinforcement that pushed Biafran forces back to Umunede, then Asaba and later Onitsha. Ojukwu made mistake allowing Banjo a Yoruba man to command the Biafran forces to capture Lagos. He would have allowed Nzeogwu to do that, though he never trusted Nzeogwu from. The onset. Are you also aware that Ifeajuna and Banjo even plotted coup to kill Ojukwu and surrender Biafra to Nigeria as Banjo and Ifeanjuna's way of appeasing the Nigerian government to forgive them for their roles during the ill fated 1966 January coup 5 Likes |

humilitypays: How can Nwabosi who was at Ibadan busy Murdering Akintola have Kill Prime Minister Balewa in Lagos Ifeajuna killed Balewa Ifeajuna was Azikwe’s Cousin whom Ojukwu couldn’t stand. Banjo told Ojukwu to his face that imposing an Igbo Dr Okonkwo on the Midwest which Banjo had just invaded in place of Gen David Ejoor who was Urhobo was a very bad Idea because over 70 % of the Midwest were non Igbos As soon as Ojukwu imposed Igbo Major Okonkwo on the Midwest it was very Obvious to Banjo that Ojukwu was busy doing an Afonja on him Nzeogwu was not an accomplished battle Commander like Banjo that was why he sadly was killed in one of the very first battles of the War Besides Nzeogwu was killed before the invasion of the Midwest so how would Ojukwu have resurrected him to lead the Midwest invasion ? 1 Like |
