July 1966: The Yoruba Military Governor, of the Western Region, Lt. Colonel Fajuyi is killed in Yorubaland by Northerners.
Yoruba reaction: "we are one Nigeria"

July 1966: After the death of Ironsi, the next 2 most senior officers are Yoruba men, Brigadier Babafemi Ogundipe and Colonel Adebayor. Ogundipe is summarily retired and Adebayor is made to replace the murdered Fajuyi. Both men are passed over as head of state right in Lagos, Yorubaland, for the much junior Lt Colonel Gowon.

Yoruba reaction: "on with one Nigeria"

1966 to 67: Yorubas witness the Northerners kill over 50,000 thousand Easterners.

Yoruba reaction: These are the the best people to do 'one Nigeria' with!

The 90's: MKO wins a free and fair election. He is arrested and killed in detention.

Yoruba reaction: " we remain one Nigeria"

Are the Yorubas cowards? Let me read over again.

He was sleeping with little children in Enugu, while Banjo and Ifejuana are fighting the war. Ojuku of cursed memory remains a coward in life and death. The ediot as blind and crippled while FFK pummel his wife, what a loser. Kill yourself since you hate the truth.

Cursed memory? No Yoruba man alive or dead will be loved the way his people love him. You think Ojukwu came for the love of the Hausa or Yoruba man? No, he came for his people. There will always be an 'Ojukwu' who will rise in the Igbo nation to lead them in a battle for liberation. But as long as I live, there can never be an 'Ojukwu' to come out of the Yoruba nation, not now, not ever.

If the Northerners say they want their own country and Igbos say they want their own country! Chei! That means the Yoruba man who can't live without ' one Nigeria' has suffered! Maybe the Youruba nation might have to declare war to keep Nigeria one? How can they let Hausa and Igbo go? What are they going to tell Lord Lugard?

hundredhunndred:
Coward like ojukwu and the whole ultimatum Ibo race. Get lost and stop crying.

Only in the mind of a Yoruba man is Ojukwu who fought for three years a Coward but the Yoruba man who has fought is a Warrior lol

You are still shedding hot tears, I know you feel like killing yourself right now cos of shame. Alabi Isama, Akinrinade, Adekunle are all Yorubas. Your pedophille ojuku ran away when he saw Adekunle, you start a war and lost 3m souls yet you making mouth.

I know Igbos have no shame but sometimes I am always ashamed of una behalf. How is your fasting and prayers? Hope Fulani have not chop off your dirty hand. Buhahahahah

A Youruba man will say anything to cover up his cowardice

ba7man:
Guy, if you want to fight, go outside your house and pick a fight, not all this online bravado you're displaying.

We in the southwest choose peace over fighting and it's paying off.

What's so hard to understand in that??

I understand well, it's called cowardice

SirdeKay:
Amnesty International should be transparent, unbiased and balanced in their reports. I'm surprised that the body failed to mention the fact that the IPOB youth went on rampage killing policemen and dumping their bodies into the River Niger. I'm sure no responsible government would fold it's arms and watch it's authority being undermined by irresponsible elements. Where was Amnesty International when the same elements attempted to take over the government house in the same zone by force of arms? Where was AI when Radio Biafra was churning out hate messages against the government and people of Nigeria?

Don't you think that if it was true that IPOB killed Police men, the Government would have mentioned the names of those policemen by now? Don't you think someone would have put up pictures of their bodies? No Policeman was killed. The Government house incident was just about hoisting a Biafran flag in front of the Government House. How is hoisting a flag same as taking over the place? As for the hate messages you are talking about, the constitution allows us all freedom of speech including hate speech. You are just trying to come up with excuses to protect the terrorist government of Buhari

hundredhunndred:
Lmao. You fought and surrendered to a Yoruba man, dont you have shame? Ojukwu saw Adekunle and had stroke straight cos of fear. You have been shared as a war booty, next time dont bring your madness to the SW. Fulanis are still doing the needful but you can only fast and pray to Chukwu Abiama to help you. Online brave tribe. Lmaooo

surrendered to a Yoruba man leading northern fighters. You guys are quite lucky to have the northerners. If it were not for them, A Biafran flag would have being flying on top of the Palace of the Alafin of Oyo by now. Face it man, you guys are not fighters. The SE have fought, the SS hace fought, the NC have fought, the NE have fought. All the SW have done is to talk. You guys deserve a medal for talking and never acting.

hundredhunndred:
You were slaughtered and lost 3m flat head, your bra wearing hero fled and still come back to contest election in Nigeria. You are begging for freedom being a slave and yet still bragging of fighting. You lost the war and now a war booty, shedding tears wont change that fact. Fulani are still doing the needful right now, issue ultimatum or go fasting. Thats your only choice.

Yes we fought and lost.

You can't even fight talkless of even losing. I would rather be me who bravely fought and lost than be the coward who could never fight.

cktheluckyman:
If you are non-violent in Nigeria,the government would not listen to you.You can see that from the way the IPOB/MASSOB guys has been treated

That's what many Nigerians don't want to admit. The only language people like Buhari understand is violence. If the Niger Delta Avengers had demanded dialogue, Buhari would have ignored them. If they had gone out to protest, they would have been shot and killed just like IPOB and MASSOB. So they did the only thing that will get Buhari's attention, they blew up Oil installations.

Shedding tears and splashing spit wont change anything. Banjo led your army and you surrendered to Obasanjo after Adekunle have destoryed and killed many of you flat head. If you are pained, you can jump in the lagoon. Crying here cant change the fact. Sorry kid.

All that will still never change the fact that the SW are the only people that have never militarily fought for anything in Nigeria while all others have. Not even when they arrested and slaughtered MKO , they still could not fight.

hundredhunndred:
[s][/s]

Oh so Obasanjo and Banjo are now Igbos? You yeeboes are funny people, you love changing tactics when exposed. You even have no shame and your kids will slap you for posting the trash above. You were defeated and crushed when trying to invade the west, Yorubas have fought several wars even when your forefathers are still living in the bush with baboons. The pen is mightier than the sword, while others are fighting the brutal abacha, your people led by one Kanu were marching for Abacha. You are only brave at issuing ultimatum and fasting when attacked, no one even take you serious. lmao

Stop talking rubbish. We are talking in the context of Nigeria and not what Afonja did before Lugard came. Obasunjo fought with a Nigetian Army. Banjo fought with a Biafran Army. When will anyone fight with a SW Army? When will SW people ever fight for anything in Nigeria? Every region from the South East to the SS, to NC to NE have at one time raised their own Army and fought in Nigeria. Only SW have never done anything except 'Siddon look'. So this story about SW mecenaries is laughable because in Nigeria, SW don't have the guts to fight anyone or anything. Only to talk

neocortex:
Fighting is not an achievement, getting what you want is.
That is an important lesson you must learn.

That's what cowards normally say

tall2ce:
fought for what?
freedom abi

Oh yes, a most noble thing to fight for. Not that someone from SW would understand that

gigabyte13:
May be you are right. So tell me, what positive achievements your region have, since they are the " hulk horgan" of Nigeria. All power no brain region

And yet, it is you that wants to do 'one Nigeria' with that region.

What have your brave people ever done? You are losers that always lose for anything you do. The offensive in your only war you ever fought in your life was led by a Yoruba man- Victor Banjo. You even had to surrender to another Yoruba man- Obasanjo. Lmaoooo. Your tribe are known for ultimatum and online chest beating, Fulani have been killing you but you can only fast and pray. They raped your parents but you are online praying and insulting Buhari yet you are brave.

Your dilector you promised to burn down the zoo and kill everyone if arrested is still crying in prison but yet you are been killed for protesting yet you talking about bravery. Ibos are brave online and not in real life. FACT!

I'm not talking about individuals like Obasunjo or Banjo. I'm talking about as a region or a people. If Biafra had not given Banjo an Army, he would have done nothing. If Nigeria had not given Obasunjo an Army, he would have done nothing. When is the SW going to give anyone an Army? Never! When are they going to rise and fight military for anything? Never! They just know how to talk. People who have never lifted a finger to fight for anything in their lives are criticising those who have fought before? I laugh in Igbo

ridwanayo:
hahaha ignoramus its this same yoruba man banjo that lead your biafra soilders,if he had not lead them u guys would have been giving ultimatum as usual.adekunle destroyed u guys during biafra war nd u surrendered kneeling in from of obasanjo.now who are the cowards.
Please tell me one war igbo's av ever won in there history.am sure u are typing from your enugu idp camp,u better becareful fulani herdsmen have already returned to enugu to kill u guys against am expecting ultimatum nd chest beating as usual

I'm not talking about individuals like Obasunjo or Banjo. I'm talking about as a region or a people. If Biafra had not given Banjo an Army, he would have done nothing. If Nigeria had not given Obasunjo an Army, he would have done nothing. When is the SW going to give anyone an Army? Never! When are they going to rise and fight military for anything? Never! They just know how to talk

SW sending mercenaries? Is that a joke or something? The SW are the only only region in Nigeria that have never taken up arms to fight for anything. They just don't have in them to do anything militarily. They have never taken up arms against the Nigerian Government, they have never conducted a coup, they have never done anything but talk. There are fighters in Nigeria and SW is not one of them

What some Nigerians don't seem to know is that world leaders, the committee of nations and international business corporations take Amnesty reports very serious. One way to guage a country moving forward with democracy is its human rights record. Nigerias human rights record is bad and it has steadily gotten worse since Buhari came to power. In one year of Buhari, the security agencies have killed more unarmed than GEJ's entire tenure in office. Shia murders, IPOB murders, South-South killings, the story is the same. The Government of Buhari has probably lost all goodwill by now. Gone are the days when many countries were falling over themselves to invite Buhari over like they did when he was first elected. I think that by now, they have all come to realise what we '5%' have always known, that Buhari is anything but a democrat. He is actually a modern day dictator, only he isn't wearing a green uniform any more. Nobody takes Nigeria seriously in the international community any more, that's why Cameron can call Nigeria names in front of the Queen.

blues20:
This thread is not necessary... I believe this issue has been trash out on this forum.
Those Ikwerres that identify with the Igbos should be embrace as brothers, and
those that don't should be respected for their opinions.

@ OP, let me suggest topics you can rummage your mind on, and possibly come up with beautiful and inspiring threads, not those garbage you littered up there…..

Topics you can research on:

Nigerian Machevilian Democratic System
Economic warlords in the Niger Delta
Buharism, the (Doctrine and) study of Buhari Economic Policies
Re-Modernizing the Igbos Enterprise System to suit current economic realities
10 Ways to Practically Develop the South East and make an it Investment Haven
And more…. Your brain can think of….

Stop coming up with useless threads that cannot add up to your life, or engage the brain positively, or even generate intelligent intellectual debate….. (pardon my play on words, but I'm dane serious) Please, [b]this Ikwerre vs Igbo [/b]shit is stale…. Thank you.

You are right here. Example is that the Elele people in Ikwere local government fully indentify with being Igbo. Therefore, not all Ikeweres deny their Igbo ancestry. Anyway, it doesnt really matter, we hope to achieve Biafra by peaceful referendum and when that time comes, they can vote to stay in Nigeria and we forget them. They only get attention for now because we are in Nigeria.

This is the kind of thread you will see Yorubas and lovers of "one Nigeria" disappear from. Anything to protect their fraud of a country called Nigeria. As soon as a Biafran thread appears they will reappear to pledge their allegiance to the estate of Lord Lugard.

princemillla:
Am very sure Niger delta leaders are watching their wards destroying a nation source of income but would rather keep quiet on it.

Forget the noise coming from the west they never meant well for this country

What did you expect them to do? Fold their arms and watch Nigeria cart away their oil and Gas wealth?

You should listen to the West, they made you a Nigerian.

Besides the last presidential elections, everything else Buhari ever achieved was by being a successful coup plotter.

jlinkd78:
The moment I read d incisive reportage done by Premium Times on d human right abuses against d ppl of Byaphra with heartbreaking pictorial compilation, I knew that d jinx of keeping d agitation under hibernation mode has suddenly been broken. Shame on all d 5% lawyers. Shame on all d elected from 5%. Shame too on most elites amongst d 5%. Kudos to this great lawyer from our often maligned neighbours. Kudos to Naira land for reducing d censorship against d struggle, at least for now and for allowing an egalitarian social media space where verified news from d 5%ers now make FP. When I expect this one from Guardian and that from Premium Times to make FP for wider reach, I encourage Seen and his wonderful mods to continue to remain unbiased umpires.

Can you post the link where you read it?

The name of the Lawyer sounds Yoruba? Could it be that there is actually a third Yoruba individual out there after Fayose and FFK who is not a slave of the Hausa/Fulani northern oligarchy? A miracle!


Nice one. The blood thirsty regime of Buhari must be exposed to the world!

Adaure4ever:
Why can't you people stop giving attention to these ikwerres or whatever they call themselves? Whats wrong with you guys?
I don't want them to be part of the Igbo race, let them stay on their own and stop giving those "Rags" an undeserved attention.

True. The Ikwerre are hyped in importance sometimes. The only thing that gets to me is that any Nigerian who meets an Ikwere will never believe he is not Igbo ( by name and language) and whatever they do will always affect the Igbo nation, wether positive or negative.

PentiumPro:
You didn't leave, you wanted to run away from justice after committing some of the most heinous crimes against Nigerians.
You were only served a deserved justice and a reminder to your mad boys in army uniform never to kill other Nigerians again.

Yorubas never cease to amaze me: butchared by Fulani "I believe in one Nigeria!"

Butchared by Hausa in Mile "I believe in one Nigeria!"

Bombed By Boko Haram "I believe in one Nigeria!"

This disease of "one Nigeria" that Lord Lugard brought with him from Britain has so gripped the Yoruba man that he doesn't know himself or anything any more.

bashydemy:
You are still rambling, I ask you how long does it take Scotland to get referendum? Did they take up arms? Again you said Niger Delta do t want to be part of nigeria are you for real? I don't think you know anything about history of this country at all. Did you know who okotiebo is? Did he fight for Niger delta to go? I ask you again who is the first Nigeria president after independence? Is it not Nnamdi Azikwe why can't he declare the state of Biafra? How about aquiyi irons why can't he declare the state of Biafra? GEJ was there for 6yrs and no one raise and eyebrows why now? Stop reasoning with your anus. They are only being Aggressive cos their son lost an election and the normal amnesty stipend will stop. Like I said a good leaders don't negotiate with terrorists/militants. Did US negotiate with Al Qaeda? Are they negotiating with ISIS? Did they negotiate with the Resanance Army? All this are capital NO. So we don't negotiate with militants cos they will keep coming for. PMB should declare dull no total war on them the same way they did to the Boko haram. And again you claim it's their land and the oil belong to them under what law? Have you ever hear of acquisition land ? Those land belong to the Government why can't the people of that area claim it's their land and not that of the government? All those resources belong the Government and just happen to be in their region that's all. When they are using cocoa money to develop Calabar, Enugu or let me say the entire SS and SE nobody say anything. Again you as an Igbo is claiming Lagos is a no man land but claiming it's their land. Now is Lagos your land or the Yoruba land?

The Bottomline is that if anyone says they don't want to be with you, then you have no business being with them. But if you say you must be with them, then expect trouble. Thats the way it has always been and will always be

ibedun:
My sister no mind them. Tomorrow tomorrow I want them to pack up and get the hell out of our land. I can't stand the mofos.

That's the sentiment we were hoping for in 1967 when we left. Then your fathers came down to the east to fight for 3 years to bring us back

I wonder how Yorubas think Igbos are scared to leave Nigeria? We already left before. How can we be scared to do something we have already done before? Yorubas sweating over Biafra

PentiumPro:
Just read the nonsense you wrote up there again.

Just as I thought, you have nothing to say

PentiumPro:
Give an example of how Yorubas are fighting to do 'One Nigeria' with you? you just come to NL to write rubbish.
On the other hand, you are the one shamelessly doing One Nigeria with the Yorubas by flocking their land the way mosquitoes flock around human blood.
They've flogged you, harassed you, deported you, chased you out of their markets, but you still stubbornly refuse to go back home, rather your governors will shamelessly go and beg on your behalf.

Let me put it to you this way. There are many west Africans flocking to Lagos and other parts of Nigeria on a daily basis pursuing one endeavour or the other. I'm talking about Ghanains, Togolese, Ivorians etc. They are allowed to do this under the ECOWAS single market. The fact that these people are coming here does not mean they want to do 'one Nigeria' with anyone. In that same regard, the fact that an Igbo man has business in Lagos does not mean the are interested in doing 'one Nigeria' with anybody. There are many Yorubas in America. None of them went there to do 'one America'. Some might have acquired American citizenship, but it was not forced on them as a condition to come or stay in America. So when Yorubas keep mouthing this "you guys keep flocking to our region" it sounds funny. I don't have to be in the same country with you to go the SW and even if I do, it does not mean I care about having the same citizenship as you.
