Hell no! we yorubas are too civilised for all that nonsense.
we just fed up with the igbos continuously insulting our collective intelligence.
They should stop referring to us as "friends" when in actual fact, what they want is our land.
we have never trusted their motives.
they are just too damn slimy to deal with. better to keep them at arms length.

@PhysicsHmd: like everything else, it comes from a certain peoples desire to distort history at all costs!

alj harem:
he is from crossriver check his account and post

TewMuch:
You F8cking coward shouting biafra up and down from America and war? You lanky wimp, you will be finished in Nigeria. Ode nla, you deserve everything Dayokanu said, and it is directed at you alone. Make you swallow your own poison. Fool. My apologies to other Igbo's, but this worm and irritant needs to be put in his place. silly child! You just come here and regurgitate everything you learn on nairaland. The silly coward waited until i signed out to respond. fool. Ode, American warrior. ROTFLMAO!!! War ko, war ni. Before you cry for war, think again! Fool!

PhysicsMHD:
Yeah, but what's the evidence for this?

When I hear this claim it reminds me of some Benin people claiming we were in Ghana Where's the proof?

TewMuch:
WHy all this gra gra? You people have destroyed an interesting thread. Ezeuche, you see why it is not good to throw LOW blows, you just may find someone that is willing to go lower than you. All these insults to Yoruba's, one day someone will go so low that it will hurt you. I hope you now know the feeling of your immense tribalism and how it is so disturbing. No one, not even Akintola deserved to be wiped out in this one-sided coup. The man also had a family like Ironsi, so watch what you say. Dayokanu said it was his uncle, still you kept agitating, now you are shouting war from the confines of your comfort in America.

Obiagu1:
I wish there'll be another war.
I have scores to settle.

Eziachi:
Lets assume that the Northerner were avenging the killing of their Sarduana.
So who exactly were our Yoruba brothers avenging for?
Was it for Akintola?  As apart from Ogbomosho people, the rest were celebrating his demise?
Or was it your own son/governor (Fajuyi) who your later northern allies came at your back yard in Ibadan, picked up and killed like a chicken in your own land?
The old story use to be that Fajuyi was killed while trying to protect Ironsi, but this film has also punctured your lying sob stories.
Because the truth has always been that the guy was as victim as Ironsi was from the start to finish.
He was arrested even before the plotters (Danjuma) ever set eyes on Ironsi that evening, while Ironsi had a chance to make an attempt to escape but did not take the chance for some reason.
You seems to make up things as you go along, the new one being the moral vs immoral coup plotters of 1966 and you had placed the privilege of placing each person where it suits your pre-concieved agenda upon yourself.
Nzeogwu is now your new good guy and Ifeajuna your Mr baddie?

Only recently you were all over the place with the rubbish that Ifeajuna was Zik's cousin and when you were laughed at at such a notion, you turned into another version of them been relatives and soon you will find something else.
The truth is always straight, if you ever read myself changing what I told you 2 years ago against what it is today, I will no longer be here.

dayokanu:
No one missed him, I am sure 500,000 people paid for it from Nnewi to Arochukwu, to Abakaliki to Nnsuka, next time them send you to an Ogbomoso man think twice of the consequences.

We usedseldgehammers on ants.

dayokanu:
No one missed him, He was a stooge so your brothers had to come kill him?

Well thank God for Adekunle who served revenge cold and in 500,000 folds.

Black Scorpion, I hail you twaile

Katsumoto:
Are you so thick in the head? Did you miss reading LAGOS in that write-up? Or is lagos a military installation? People have told you that they were witnesses and victims to bombs being dropped and you are waiting for proof from the Bible. Oponu

Katsumoto:
I know Eziachi and EzeUche are pretending not to see my post above so I will post it again.


Yes, bombs were dropped. People living in Lagos at that time will readily confirm this. Also, read below

'Keeping this ancient fleet in the air rapidly overwhelmed the Biafrans.  The initial value of these aircraft was the psychological effect they created in the disorganized early stage of the war.  The bombers made harassing attacks on Lagos and the Northern air fields, creating large scale panic with their erratic bombing with homemade munitions.  The helicopters likewise dampened Federal fervor on the battlefield.  Used primarily for reconnaissance, Federal soldiers soon discovered they were not safe when the Alouettes were in the air due either to aerially supported
artillery or mortar attacks, or homemade bombs dropped from the aircraft.  They quickly learned to seek cover when the helicopters were flying.'

T9ksy:
Mass grave ko, mass cementary ni. U guys are so full of BS!!!
Its a fact that Biafran dropped bombs in Lagos.
its a fact that a lot of civilians were killed as a result of these bombs dropped by the rebels.
Its also a fact that most of these civilians (killed) were yorubas.  

Katsumoto:
Are you going to let your parents waste their investment in you? Learn to read and comprehend and stop chatting dust.

T9ksy:
what a load of tripe!
Fadeyi and yaba was populated by (mainly yoruba) civilians at the time.

jason123:
You and I cannot answer that, can we? What if my mother died and other yorubas, I would not be hear today, would I? Even if their intention was to killed the military men, it turned out to do more harm than good because NONE of them died. It was only the civilians that were killed during the bombing.

Obiagu1:
Katsumoto really hates this your post because it floored his argument that the coup was an Igbo coup.

The coup was purely nationalistic but failed because of incompetence and lack of bravery.
To be frank, no Igbo man could have shot Okpara; they would have used other non-Igbos among them to do the job.

jason123:
Obalende and Fadeyi and I think a place near the Cinema (Forgotten the name of the place but my mother almost died there. I have mentioned this before)

The guy had to die because he was clueless.
You can't be planning the impossible all the time.
If Ironsi had killed him earlier, Ndigbo would have been saved a lot of hassles.

PhysicsMHD:
I kind of want the capital of Nigeria to be Calabar, but the other half of the country would say that it's too southern.

Calabar is clean compared to Lagos, and not heavily invested with crime.

Then again, Calabar really is an Efik city. Don't know how it could just be hijacked from them like that.

jason123:
You are joking, right? Was it the civilians that were targeting the igbos or military (Northern military)?
