ElSudani:
Numbskull, you read Victor Banjo wanted to assassinate Ironsi? If you can't show us where you read that or any other source corroborating this story then you are just a m,oron which I believe you are. Olodo rumor peddler.

Pig, I hate to dance in the same circus with you, dunce, I have already referenced in my earlier post that Victor Banjo's assassination attempt on Ironsi was duly acknowledged in Wale Ademoyega's book "Why we struck", it was also referenced in Alexander Madiebo's book "The Nigerian Revolution and the Biafran war". I'm tired of going back and forth with low IQ pigs, I need to engage humans going forward!

ElSudani:
Banjo was still in prison in Enugu serving jail time for an attempted political assassination of Ironsi,

Sometimes you just have to shake your head when you read some of these rubbish. Who removed history from our curriculum in schools? Banjo attempted to assassinate Ironsi! What a load of nonsense.
By the way, I didn't bother to read the rest of your nonsense.

Mo.ron unlike you, I actually READ (something a low IQ numpty like you can never relate to), my knowledge of the events about Nigerian politics right from the first republic isn't your mate, you will have to level up more to meet up.

So if you have any intelligent rebuttal to the facts I posited about Victor Banjo, why not present your facts instead of trying to over-compensate for your stupidity?

Akanoaaa:
Do you mind them?
Victor banjo fought gallantly for the biafra,he was betrayed by biafra Gov, he led the highest counter attacked so far recorded during the biafra war(battle of Ore), he was the main force, the commander of operation torch, after helping biafra captured the whole of the Midwest region that consist the south south today, he was framed up by biafra outlying to over throw ojukwu, transported to enugu and executed by the biafrans, on the 19 September 1967 few days after his arrest by the people he was fighting for, benin city was retaken by nigeria troops which saw ojukwu regrets his execution. But till today, they never acknowledge the sacrifices some Yoruba made for them during the war, instead, they see Yoruba as their worst enemy.

I've already addressed this misleading and poignant ignorance in my rebuttal above you already.

And once again to cure your ignorance, the largest and most successful Biafran campaign in the war was the ABAGANA AMBUSH and not your fairytale nonsense about Banjo's heroics in the Midwest (cause the events that played out in the Midwest campaign proves your assertions to be pure bullsh!t)

Google the Abagana Ambush led by the one and only Colonel Joe Achuzie (Hannibal of Biafra), and cure your stupidity. That was the ambush that headlined almost all media outlets and correspondents of both the BBC and American newspapers/TV for its devastatingly remarkable outcome.

Load of undiluted rubbish

None of these officers fought on the side of Biafra because they wanted to, so stop playing up some preposterous heroics when there was none. They all "fought" for Biafra for reasons that were simply circumstantial...happenstance as it's called.

Banjo was still in prison in Enugu serving jail time for an attempted political assassination of Ironsi, which of course failed (Wale Ademoyega acknowledged this fact in his book " Why we struck."), it was around the time the war broke out that Ojukwu released Victor Banjo who was also a friend of his from prison and later placed under his command the Biafran invasion of the Midwest and ultimately Lagos...a sheer act of military blunder and discretionary naivety on the part of Ojukwu...he failed to learn the golden unwritten rule that you can never trust a yoruba man, the same Victor Banjo whom he trusted enough to put a whole Brigade under his command later embarked on his own plans and started making plans to declare his own "Republic of Benin" and begin negotiations with Gowon after clearing the Midwest with little or no serious resistance from the Federal troops...this slimy clown had plans to create his own fancy republic and empire completely independent from his superior who trusted him with a simple task of clearing the Midwest and heading west towards Lagos and Ibadan...the idiot stalled his advance and lost all momentum...his troops became demoralized and began to retreat after the Federal troops under Muritala got enough time to reorganize and counterattack. Victor Banjo proved to be a traitor and coward and was rightfully executed along with his collaborators- Majors Ifeajuna and Sam Alale.

The other yoruba officers that fought on the side of Biafra just like Victor Banjo were also all serving prison time in the East for their roles in the January coup, and just like Banjo were all released from prison on the order of Ojukwu at the outbreak of the war, and they were all treated with the respect and dignity of officers and given the options of staying to fight on the side of Biafra or go back to Nigeria, they chose to fight with Biafra out of fear of facing persecution or even death at the hands of Nigerian soldiers who knew they participated in the January coup...

The only true friends of Igbos who fought with Biafra till the end were the Annangs, Ibibio's and Anioma from the Igbo speaking parts of present day Delta...many of the best Biafran officers came from the Anioma areas like Colonel Joe Achuzie, Nwawo,Nsudoh,Nwajei etc

[quote author=Empredboy post=116746328][/quote]Firstly, anybody that uses Wikipedia as an academic and informative source deserves to have his/her academic credentials burnt to ashes, utter waste of education or lack thereof.

Secondly you need to brush up your knowledge of the Nigerian civil war by READING, the premise of which will make you cognitively understand there's a difference between getting military support in terms of military hardwares and other war logistics, and diplomatic (political)recognition....cause if you were intelligent enough to know these differences, it won't be hard to understand that with the exception of France that assisted Biafra with some military support (albeit belatedly) towards the tail end of 1968, the other countries you listed there on the side of Biafra actually only recognized the sovereignty of Biafra, but never supported Biafra in the military sense...the Armaments alone that Britain and Russia supplied to Nigeria was enough to fight 5 African countries at the same time, Biafra didn't even have 1/3 of what Nigeria had and got in military supplies till the end of the war.

Read!!!!

It's a sealed and done deal.Benue, Plateau and the other core Christian states in the NC are all we need...let Atiku, Kwankwaso and the frog-eyed Agbado munching druggie from Iragbiji kill themselves over the other Muslim states across the North, mathematically more split votes between APC, PDP and Kwankwaso's party is enough reason for Obi to be rehearsing his presidential speech by February of next year.

BATified2023:
u don’t expect your opponent not to have a support base in your home base

It is igbos that believe tinubu n atiku will not get anything in d east

A sane person should believe his opponent will also have some support base

When igbos see atiku or tinubu support base in the east they will start screaming 2k

Maybe Atiku has a sizeable fanbase in the East because the PDP factor in the East is still somewhat decent, but Tinubu? LMFAOOOO you wish bro, don't let the charade Umahi and Uzodinma are using to fool you, those two men are probably the most unpopular politicians in Igboland right now, especially Uzodinma.

Keyamo may have just unwittingly implicated himself by bringing up bizarre insinuations about assassination in relation to Obi, the whole premise of that statement however misguided,idiotic or unintentional just doesn't sit well with me...we all know how they killed FUNSO WILLIAMS, the same circle of brigands that killed Funso are today contesting to be President...Obi needs to stop this modesty and simple life nonsense and look to Amp up his security details, bullet proof all his cars as well...he's the only MAJOR presidential aspirant that moves around with no security detail and that has always worried me.

The good book says, " out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh"... Keyamo might have just dug his own grave and that of Tinubu by stirring up very dangerous and insidious statements like that considering how charged up the political atmosphere is right now...sentiments are high and there's cause to suspect APC are planning something very evil against Obi...they might assassinate this man and then blame it on IPOB OR ESN...we've seen them play the same script in the South East already, Igbos need to wake up and protect Obi with their LIVES....cause that man is the only force standing between Ndigbo and political relevance in Nigeria.

Final advice to Tinubu camp, if anything happens to Peter Obi, we already know which people to hold responsible...Keyamo has done what we call in psychological terms a "Freudian slip" which is an unintentional error regarded as revealing subconscious feelings...if anything happens to Obi, the entire yoruba race must be ready for a serious bloodbath, and we will start from that Lagos you cherish so much...call this a lame "Igbo threat", or you can remind us how you dealt with the Biafran incursion to Lagos in 1967, but we will show you a different level of ruthlessness never seen before, Obi is like a GOD to the East now, and we are prepared to lose more millions of lives and waste an equal number on your side if that brown-toothed iragbiji bastard with no father does anything to Obi.

I rest my case.

lwisee:
Does this even make sense to you?

You should worry more about Igbos leaving the South East in droves due to IPOB/ESN unrest.

So you're the statistician that does all the census counts of Igbos living the SE in droves? aren't thousands of your people living Nigeria for the shores of UK going by your daft logic? is the SW any safer?

It was a clearly an assassination attempt but Yaribaa idiots were disgracing themselves on the thread by gaslighting everything into another Obi/Igbo bashing, where in the Nigeria is even safe under this evil APC government? it wasn't long ago more than 50 people were massacred in one day in Owo, Ondo state, but Yaribaas are making it seem like it's only the East that is dealing with security issues

Obi is taking Benue, Taraba and parts of Kaduna (predominantly Southern kaduna areas where Christians are more)...let Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso share the NW, NE and NC votes among themselves...Atiku is a blessing to Obi in the North while Obi is a curse to Atiku in the South.

Yaribaa slaves will not see this one cause it's their Northern daddy that posted it, in my next world may I never return as a Nigerian, fuccking useless country in all ramifications.

How come this raving lunatic hasn't been banned on this forum already?

Tinubu is iragbiji druggie is a bastard whose very life is shrouded in sheer fraudulent...Kemi Adetiba surely had something up her sleeves when she produced the "King of Boys movie"...the similarities of that movie plot to Amoda Ogunlere (later to be addressed as Bola Ahmed Tinubu) is too uncanny and real to be overlooked...even the Odogwu Malay character in the movie has strong references to E-money (a business partner of Tinubu in the drug business), of course we all know how E money made his money after he left the slums of Ajegunle for Malaysia for drug business (a story for another day). The Makanaki character played by reminisce reels off MC Oluomo

So much has been unraveled about the criminal life of the Pablo Escobar of Bourdillion on Twitter alone and it's trendy as a hot topic, tinubu must he crushed by all means possible, such shady character should never be allowed anywhere near the coffers of power.

Lol you're just realizing this now? Nairaland has officially always been the propaganda wing for APC goons on a paid per post basis, that's why I left here and became more active on Twitter where it's an even playing field, we are thoroughly destroying APC minions on there.

This forum has become an undiluted joke, take it serious at your peril.

It's now clear from the massive defections of APC loyalists in recent months across the North to the Atiku camp that Atiku means business in this election, this might be his last chance of finally becoming president after several failed attempts. The last major roadblock to Atiku's dream was Buhari who prior to his incumbent government (which has been a colossal disaster) was like a demigod in the North...well he still is, but the massive cult following and goodwill that the North gave Buhari in the last presidential election will definitely not play out in 2023 cause Buhari really failed the North at all levels of governance, especially in security matters...this deteriorating situation will pose a conundrum of problems for Tinubu who will be hoping to inherit and benefit from Buhari's popularity across the North (especially the NW), this is where Atiku will hope to capitalize upon and score a bullseye hit, and you bet Atiku won't take anything for granted this time.

Tinubu really has his work cut out for him, he's running on a party ticket that has become to massively unpopular across Nigeria, PDP will now hope for a resurgence under Atiku, and then we have a seriously growing third force in Obi's labor party that is fast taking the political scene by storm. Surely without a doubt, 2023 will present a keenly contested election, I sense the possibility of a rerun because there will be no fine margins of victory for any party.

The sheer stupidity of Agbadorians comparing Lagos which has being a FCT for several decades to Anambra of yesterday? Una no dey shame? The colonial British government and successive military regimes developed Lagos to what it is today, IBB alone is the reason why third mainland bridge exists today, not to mention the likes of Marwa , Jakande and of course the massive Federal government investments who all made Lagos the megacity it is today...wetin Emi lo kan develop for Lagos? You clowns are so shameless comparing Lagos to Anambra when you should be comparing Lagos to its fellow megacities like Johannesburg, Kigali, Nairobi, Cape Town, Accra etc these are better planned cities that best Lagos on all indices of development, better urban planning and liveable capacity.

Why not compare Anambra to Ogun state or Emi lo kan's slumfest birthplace in Osun state?

Shettima was obviously just being disingenuous, it's borderline blasphemy to compare Borno state to Anambra on any indices of academic performance, even the best brains in Borno state won't best the worst dullard in Anambra, that's just an insult gone too far.

No South West states among the top 10, even Ebonyi of yesterday made the top 10 list...Awolowo must be rolling in his grave right now, so much for free education.

Edo Emerges Best State in 2021 WAEC Exams

Edo State has emerged the best state in the 2021 diet of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) examinations, recording 92.8 percent pass rate among students who sat for the examination in the state.

The state also came second in the ranking of the pass rate among public schools who wrote the examination across Nigeria in 2021.

This was contained in a recent data released by WAEC and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) published by data firm, Statisense on its Twitter handle.

According to the data, Edo came first in the national tally with 92.8 percent of students passing the exams with five credits, including English and Mathematics.

The data ranked Enugu State second with 92.7 percent; Anambra third with 92.2 percent; Benue State fourth with 91.5 percent; Ebonyi fifth with 90.5 percent and Cross River State sixth with 90.2 percent.

In the ranking of the performance of public schools which presented candidates for the exam, Enugu State came first with 93.9 percent; Edo second with 93.5 percent; Benue third with 91.7 percent; Ebonyi fourth with 91.3 percent, while Anambra fifth with 91.3 percent.

The administration of Governor Godwin Obaseki had implemented far-reaching reforms across the education ecosystem, beginning with the basic education sector.

The reforms are percolating to the other aspects of the state’s education space, with a number of the teachers in public schools in the state receiving national awards for their devotion to service and innovation in the classroom.

The governor was awarded the NUT Governor of Year by the Nigerian Union of Teachers in 2019 in recognition of his multifaceted reforms and initiatives in the state’s education sector.

Minjim:
I don't know why igbos on Twitter are mocking AJ?


Kamuru was dominant in that fight. I didn't know how he let that lazy kick catch him.

You really want to start this tribalism nonsense again, I've been on Twitter all day and haven't come across any Igbo person mocking Usman, stop been mischievous.

rusher14:
What of your own family?

Let's wait for your lies.

Simple question you are already deflecting, says alot

rusher14:
Is Obi sick?

It appears he can't help himself.

is anyone in your family half the man he is in terms of accomplishments?

DamianX:
Vee for where? Abeg it's only Ozo and Laycon we can remember o.

I don correct the line up, I replaced Vee with Saskay

homesteady:
How did you sneak Vee into this lineup?

On a second thought you're right , I'll definitely replace her with Saskay or Liquorose

I miss the likes of Vee, Laycon and Ozo for tasks like this, they would have absolutely murdered this oraimo task.

It's comical and ironical to see that all the blockheads who talk the loudest are finally exposing themselves.
