History Of Victor Banjo The Yoruba Man Who Supported Biafra by santakris(m): 9:12pm On Mar 18, 2023 |
HISTORY IS THE BEST Lest we forget Victor Banjo and Awolowo met in Ore during the Civil war when Pa Awolowo told him to stop fighting on the side of Biafra and Victor Banjo refused that he had promised Ojukwu that he would win on sink with him. Biafra soldiers were one side and Nigeria soldiers were at the other, Awolowo said Banjo tẹ́lẹ̀ mi, ìbọn òní ba hó (Meaning Banjo follow me bullet won't touch you) but Banjo refused,. After that meeting Ojukwu accused him of speaking Yoruba during the meeting with Awolowo that he couldn't be trusted again and they accused him of planning to overthrow Ojukwu in Biafra. They tied him to a drum and shot him in Enugu He was the only Yoruba general that supported Biafra, and they paid him with death because he refused to attack Ibadan and Lagos which were not part of the initial agreement... Below is the picture of Victor Banjo and his family. The Yoruba Man who supported Biafra and led many of the battles, but was killed. His wife turned to widow, his children fatherless. The little girl in the photograph is Olayinka, present Provost, School of Medicine, University of Ibadan. [Ed]. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Banjo
