Northsharp, Jakumo is Igbo.

The sale of counterfeit car parts paid the bills, but Emeka still yearned for more. At night he would move his sleeping mat up onto the roof of the shipping container that held his parts shop, look out over the rusted tin roofs of Ajegunle-by-the-Sea, kill greasy rats with a stick, and dream of a better life in Lagos, the Promised Land.

Envious of the soaring career successes of his college-educated younger brothers and sisters scattered all over the globe, Emeka yearned above all to demonstrate that his cash income could match anything earned by his siblings, thanks to the career option of criminal conduct. That big entrepreneurial break came soon enough, but he had to learn how to use a gun first, which he did, despite nearly shooting himself more than once during the lessons.

In total, Emeka participated in three armed robberies during his first year in Lagos. The first two home invasion attacks were relatively peaceful and profitable enough to net the fledgling bandit 50 thousand naira, most of which went right away to settle his tab at the local gin joint and bordello. It was in the aftermath of that THIRD robbery operation, during which Emeka’s gang had the very bad luck of running into the armed convoy of the state commissioner of police, that the one-time parts dealer finally decided to try and get a real job.

Discharged from the orthopedic hospital six months on, Emeka leafed through a dictionary one rainy morning and wrote his first 419 advanced fee fraud email letter , slowly typing his stilted prose on the keyboard of an internet- enabled laptop computer he had grabbed from inside a car that was stuck in traffic a few days earlier…,

omo yoruba ponbele ni mi lati eya Owu ti agbole Obamaja ni Sokori,Abeokuta
that said,i'm not supporting nor against the ibo i only justified their call for seccession base on the wild scale massacre then even though it was also an opportunity for Ojukwu dream of ruling.
i don't have anything against ibo or hausa even though i must confess i sometimes resent Hausas for their cruelity.
but truly if Nigeria is to progress some people has to be killed or exiled some for corruption & peace balancing

I'm pretty sure that he is Igbo. I don't want to go through his posting history to prove it, but there are pretty clear signs of this from it.

Just a westernized and 95% detribalized guy

jakumo
i never meant to cross your path however i have to warn you to stop talking ill of Pastor Adeboye. please and please stop it

cdoffx:

alj harem
i never said so,but i only believed that it was not the intention of Nzeogwu for them to be spared but probably some of the other majors who sabotage the whole plan may have that in mind.
you will agree with me that presently for us to set a new order of things in this country people like IBB and OBJ needs to leave the stage.i'll prefer exile for them anyway,
does this answer your question dayokanu

High_Chief:

^^^Banjo(a Yoruba) wanted to liberate his people and solicited for Biafran forces, which Ojukwu made available to him. I can show you the letter Ojukwu sent to him before granting him that favor. So refer that your question to Banjo, cos he led the soldiers

From: The Military Governor,

Republic of Biafra Enugu,



22nd August, 1967.

 

My dear Victor,

 

1. For some time now, you and I have been discussing the circumstances that have led to the current and inevitable disintegration of what was the Federation of Nigeria. We have been fully convinced that the aim of the Hausa/Fulani complex has ever been, and will ever remain, the total domination of every other part of what was known as the Federation of Nigeria. It is impossible to forget that the crisis which led to the army take over in January 1966, the coup of the Northern soldiers led by Gowon in July 1966, the wholesale and indiscriminate massacre of the people of what is now Biafra- and, to a less degree, the people of the Mid-West and West, including the Yorubas, were all the direct result of Hausa/Fulani attempt to subjugate and use as tools, the gallant people of Western Nigeria namely the Yorubas. We do not need to remind ourselves of the heavy losses in life and property suffered by the Yoruba people in their fight for justice and freedom during 1965.

 

2. Sharing.our belief that the people of Yorubaland have a right to live a life of equality and self-respect and justice free of domination and dictatorship from any quarter, you have both identified with the cause of the Biafra struggle for survival and expressed your determination to see the people of Yorubaland freed from Hausa/Fulani domination.

We, the people of Biafra, for our part are willing and have decided to give you and the people of Yorubaland every assistance to achieve your aim.
 

3. After clearing the whole question with my Executive Council, I, as the Commander in Chief of the Biafran Armed Forces, have decided to place at your disposal Biafran forces, for the liberation of

Yorubaland on the following clear conditions:-

 

(i) You will have nothing to do with the Military Administrator in the Mid-West Territory during your sojourn there prior to your move to the West.

(ii) The willingness and preparedness of Biafra to assist any part of the former Federation of Nigeria wishing and willing to liberate itself from the Hausa/Fulani domination, does not in anyway whatever

imply any inclination on her part to compromise her sovereignty or preserve what remains of the defunct Federation of Nigeria. In other words, our sovereignty and break with Nigeria is irrevocable. Nothing must, therefore be said or done by you or any member of the Liberation Army to give a contrary impression.

(iii)  Biafra is determined to maintain and safeguard her sovereignty and ensure that her integrity and safety are never again threatened.

(iv) Biafran troops will, after the liberation of the Yorubaland, remain in that territory only for as long as we in Biafra consider it necessary for the Yorubas to consolidate their position and sovereignty against any external threat.

(v) On the liberation of the Yorubaland, you will be appointed as the Military Governor of that territory.

(vi) The liberation of Western Nigeria will be a prelude to the liberation of all Yorubas up to the River Niger and the severance of all connections between the West and the North at Jebba.

(vii) During the period of Biafrans troops’ presence in your territory, all political measures, statements or decrees shall be subject to the approval, in writing by myself or on my authority.

(viii) Should our troops arrive and liberate Lagos, the government of the Republic of Biafra reserves the right to appoint a Military administrator for the territory. Such an Administrator  will remain in office until a merger of that territory with Yorubaland is effected by Biafran troops.

(ix) As soon as possible after your appointment as the Military Governor of Western Nigeria and separation of that territory from Nigeria, you and I must meet to discuss:

(a)     the duration of stay of Biafran troops in your territory;

(b)     the areas and subjects of cooperation between the liberated sovereign states of Western Nigeria, or by what name it may call itself, and Biafra.

 

4. I do not need to remind you that Biafra regards all Yoruba as friends. As such everything should be done, to ensure the minimum force and loss of life are involved in achieving the objective of liberation.

 

5. It is essential, in order to avoid misunderstanding or confusion, that all subsequent requests for support be formally made to me by you in writing.

 

6. Will you please signify in writing, your acceptance of the above conditions so that you may leave for Western Nigeria and lead the army of liberation.

 

 

Yours very sincerely,

 

signed  Lt. Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu,

 

Military Governor and Commander in Chief of Biafran Armed Forces

high chief

that guy is basically dumb his like a car with no head light speeding in the middle of the night

dayokanu:

I am Yoruba

The fact remains Nzeogwu led a coup that killed other leaders from other regions and spared theirs. Thats the worst form of betrayal ever.

The soldiers trained with Nigerias money went to kill unharmed civilian politicians on their bed, thats the highest form of cowardice ever.

Then have you explained what Biafrans forces were looking for in Ore? If thats not betrayal I wonder what else is betrayal

High_Chief:

^^^I really dont care if Yorubas wanted to be liberated, all am saying is that one of their sons deemed it wise to liberate them from the stronghold of their northern masters and demanded for Biafran forces to actualize his cause which Ojukwu did. So I do not care to know who wanted what, but just to let you know that Ojukwu did not come up with the idea on his own

Van snickers:


"spared theirs", what are you talking about, Nnamdi Azikiwe was out of the Country,trust me if he was in the Country he would have been killed also.

"I am Yoruba", did you know that major Nzeogwu intended to release Awo and Enahoro from Prison and even make your beloved "Awo "prime-minister, so why the Noise?

P.s. I am not Ibo neither am i one of their Sympathizers.

Dede1:

Shut up your putrid mouth. A patented fool such as you should learn to stay away from issues beyond your intellectual pedigree. The last time I check though, the civil war was between Nigeria and Biafra. At the time of the war, Ore was and still part and parcel of Nigeria. I guess you thought Ore was an extension of then Republic of Dahomey, olodo.
