Ojiofor:


The Northern coupists murdered both Ironsi and Fajuyi...End of story.This your beer parlour story belongs to beer parlours.That story was a cooked up propaganda.None of those who participated in that coup have ever come out to give such reason why they killed Fajuyi.

Stephenszego2:


And those who fought?

unbitchable:

I can't imagine a day y'all will ever stop twisting history to massage your egos.
Did Ojukwu not write a letter to Banjo requesting he join forces with him?
Ojukwu would also release the likes of Oyewole in prison so he could fight for biafra.

Ojiofor:


This is the definition of a mercenary.
Now tell me what they are if not mercenaries?

unbitchable:

Fajuyi was obviously not the target but Aguiyi Ironsi. His insistence on not giving away his boss and guest led to his death.

unbitchable:

Your twisting is wack. Banjo & other Yoruba officers weren't fighting for biafra for any economic benefits unlike France & co.
Ojukwu have Yoruba land as part of his larger administrative extension. He was emphatic in his letter that he would have Biafran troops stationed in Yoruba land with direct command from him.
His letter ruled out any debate on mercenaries.

Ojiofor:


Someone who was under arrest as soon as he was sighted was insisting to save the main target .Both of them was a target and they killed them both.

Now read from eye witness account and get yourself educated rather than dwell in ignorance.

This story was told by none other than the ADC to General Aguiyi Ironsi himself, Captain (Now Senator) Andrew Nwankwo. It shows how the Northerners murdered Lt. Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi and his host, Ironsi. It also shows that they lied to the Yoruba nation that Fajuyi was killed accidentally while defending Ironsi. His murder was covered up by the north in order not to make the west suspicious of their agenda. Read on


"Around 5:30 we heard gunfire, then Ironsi had called Col. Njoku to tell him about the coup. As Njoku was going out, he was short at, but he escaped with bullet wounds. It was Njoku, who was the commander of Lagos Garrison that alerted others outside the Government House, Ibadan.
"Fajuyi later sent me outside the government House to find out what was happening. I met Danjuma, who was then a major and he was my friend. He pretended he didn’t know what was happening, he was asking me, and I said I didn’t know. While I was trying to go back, one sergeant from Benue almost shot me, but Danjuma stopped him and spoke to him in Hausa. Danjuma later told me that he would like to see Ironsi, so that he could tell them what to do.

[color=#990000]"It was then that Fajuyi came out to find out what was holding me, and there inside the Government House Danjuma ordered for his arrest and mine too. That was when I saw Walbe. Then Fajuyi asked me to take him to Ironsi so that they will obey him, that there should be only one person in charge. So, I took them to Ironsi, and major Newman, immediately he saw Ironsi, he seized his crocodile swagger stick, and then they started asking him about the January coup, he said he didn’t know about it that he only agreed to be Head of State so that he can restore confidence and normalcy. It was immediately they arrested Ironsi that they turned violent".




Now tell me how Fajuyi who was equally a victim defended Ironsi?

unbitchable:

They knew their target, it was Aguiyi Ironsi. Fajuyi was only a victim of circumstance.

Ojiofor:

You have changed your opinion,now he didn't die because he insisted or resisted them while they came for Ironsi.
It was Fajuyi himself that even led the coupists to where Ironsi was.You people should stop peddling falsehood.

unbitchable:


He insisted.
His wife, Victoria gave the same account, also his son who was with him while it all happened. Fajuyi insisted
The sun also had it published, go read up.

IgweOfNnewi:
Oyewole, Banjo, Ademoyega, Adeleke are all yorubas that fought for biafra and these are high ranked officers, other low insignificant Yorubas and others will there also

gidgiddy:


Those who fought also remained slaves, but they at least retained their dignity that they did not surrender without a fight, like the other cowards did

fozapi:
just envy and jealousy for the igbos,but we are blessed

THOSE who fought are still fighting refusing to be slaves and refusing to be intimidated and being proved right by those that joined to fight them, THOSE that are still refusing to fight wirh them now are those who love being slaves, who see the CHAINS and SHACKLES pn their hands and legs as ornaments of GOLD and DIAMOND, and those im denial

louqas:


And you people just remembered all this AFTER 16 YEARS OF SLAVERY TO PDP.....history is full of tales of your slavery to the fulanis......even your war hero eventually joined the fulani party, what a shameless tribe

I am not going to call whatever tribe you come out of shameless because of a black sheep like you, I know there must be reasonable people from wherever it is and I have seen intelligent people born coconut heads like you, that is btw, it is known by people who use their brains know that the push and love for biafra never stopped and will NEVER stop and that biafra is above any individual person, that you have no roots and doesn't mean everyone will br like that, one other thing I am 100% sure is you are not proud of what you are defending while every single biafran is proud of his biafra no matter your hatred and jealousy

Mumu
Greedy bastard, why didnt you rememeber biafra in 16 years only to remember the moment GEJ lost elections.....how can you people want to break the country because you lost out of the power game....while you people were getting all sorts of appoints under pdp were opposition crying for seccession?

NOBODY IS STOPPING BIAFRA REALISATION BUT IBOS

if you really want to secceed you would have long ago....all this you are doing is pdp hatchet job...foolish ipob is the only known seccession agitator begging the government to let it go....im sure you are NOT PROUD of this agitation because it is born outof greed.

Foreign mercenaries that Ojukwu gave a fake Biafra bond as payment. Many of them never got paid for their services to Biafra.
One of them is the late founder of P&ID company and has vowed to get his money back from Nigeria by any means including fraud

Well those who did not fight have remained slaves since then and their resources stolen

theTranslator:

Even Yoruba fought with them

theTranslator:

Do you know that about 5 Yoruba officers fought on the Biafran side? e.g Banjo

That's different from the un named foot soldiers o.

That many Yoruba elites supported Biafra even with the threat of prison? e.g Soyinka

We were mostly neutral until Ojukwu tried coming to the West and killed Banjo
