Metaphysical and Frlukas. Have you seen them Sha?

myobjective:
These people don't know that Ilorin people are pure Yoruba from Oyo, I still have relatives in Ilorin that can trace their origin to Oyo ile.

Duru1:
Does anyone of reputable character in Nigeria had such a name?

The British officers at Kaduna kept wondering what an Oxford graduate was doing as a private in the Army and sent him for officers course in England. Ojukwu returned in 1957 and was commissioned a second Lieutenant, the first graduate to join the Nigerian Army.

Ojukwu rose rapidly through the Army. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1958, Captain in 1960, Major in 1962 and Lieutenant Colonel in 1964.

Ojukwu was commander of the 4th battalion, Kano, when the first coup happened in January 1966.

As the coup unfolded, Major Nzeogwu called on Ojukwu to join the coup to which Ojukwu refused. Ojukwus refusal to join Nzeogwu is one of the major reasons why Nzeogwu's coup eventually failed.

General Ironsi then siezed power and appointed Ojukwu Military Governor of the Eastern Region.

6 months later, mid-level officers of the Nigerian of Northern extraction conducted a coup that led to the overthrow and killing of Ironsi, and the installment of Lt Yakubu Gowon as head of state. The coup also greenlighted a pogrom in which over 30,000 Easterners, mainly Igbos, were killed all over Nigeria, particularly in the North.

The inability of Gowon to stop the killings, the resentment in the Eastern Region against his government and the fact that Ojukwu was senior to Gowon caused bad blood between both men

The crisis became so bad that the then President of Ghana, General Joe Ankrah, intervened and invited both Gowon and Ojukwu to his Hiltop Mansion in Aburi, Ghana, for peace talks in January of 1967.

After two days of discussions, Ojukwu and Gowon signed an agreement that was to be known as the Aburi Accord.

A few months after their return from Ghana, Gowon broke the Aburi accord they signed by issuing decree 14 of 1967 which abolished all the 4 Regions, created 12 states, reversed the fical federalism practiced, changed the revenue sharing formular, all in a bid to increase the power of the North over the rest of Nigeria

For Ojukwu, it was the last straw. Ojukwu convened the Eastern Nigerian Consultative Forum, a body that comprised of all the chiefs and head of the 20 provinces that made up the Eastern Region. They sat and discussed for 2 days and mandated Ojukwu to declare the Eastern Region a separate country. On the 30th of May 1967, Ojukwu declared the Eastern Region a separate country called the Republic of Biafra.

In retaliation, Gowon declared war. The war raged on for 3 years and ended in January 1970 with Ojukwu handing over to his deputy, General Effiong, flying into exile in Ivory Coast and the subsequent surrender of Biafra.

Ojukwu later returned from exile 12 years later. He died in London in 2011 aged 78. [s]His burial remains the greatest ever witnessed in Nigeria [/s]

Ojukwu is still revered by most Igbos because they believe he fought for their freedom.

Conner44:
Bubu and FG will never allow SE create and run any form of recognized security outfit. Let them not waste their time trying. Even if they do it will just be a gagged low level vigilante group that the police will still control.

It’s better the elders gather their village youths and arm them so they can finish off the marauding Fulani bandits and herdsmen ‘extrajudicially’ ... that the only way they can win the farmland grabbing war.

Fake News.. or didn't you hear the Chiarman of South East Governors Forum, Alhaji Dave Umahi, he said his region is against regional police and only want RUGA policy

but wait oo, why do Ibo people like copying like this? you want to copy our seciurity outfit you still stole our animal representation in your logo, and you had to put Arsenal Shield and Canon

.

YorubaHero12:
My take from the video is the last sentence of the Oyo state speaker.

He said:
“As you can see we have more vehicles, and we are even gonna purchase more vehicles in order to support them and to give them all the things that they need to support the life and properties of the Oduduwa people”

That is a strong message there. Emphasis on that Oduduwa people.

I guess time will be right when yoruba becomes 79% muslim. 20% christian, 1% traditionalists.
Go do an underground survey and see how fulanis are sponsoring muslims groups everywhere in yorubaland.
You simply can't leave, that's why you fear the East leaving and always oppose IPOB and their agenda.

Tobrasky:
This half-witted snail, I clearly designated the North as the largest contributors to the Biafran defeat, so I included every key officer from the North who played influential roles in bringing the rebellion to an end.

Lol and how were Hassan Kastina and Buhari defeated? Smh you don't even know your facts so why I'm I wasting my time arguing with you.

As I stated earlier, only Alabi Isama and Alani Akirinnade served us (The North) brilliantly, the rest were more or less useless, incompetent and glory seekers who lost far more men and materials than they were given credit for.

PicLtd:
And why have they not done it yet. What are they waiting for?

As one of my senior in school would say those days 'If e too sure for, do am!'

Tobrasky:
Mohammed Shuwa
Hassan Kastina
Shehu Musa Yar'Adua
Ibrahim Babaginda
Buhari
Sani Abacha
Danjuma
Murtala Muhammed

[s]These were the top commanders among many others who served and fought admirably in many sectors. The only Yorubawa commanders that proved to be good were Akirinnade and Alabi Isama, the rest were overrated cowards who lost far more men and grounds to the rebels due to incompetent leadership, mutiny among the rank and files of units commanded by yoruba commanders was very rife. Adekunle was a midget rabble-rousing narcissist that depended largely on minority support in the Non-Ibo areas of Biafra to capture few areas... only to get disgraced when he managed to get into core Ibo areas like the disasters at Owerri, Umuahia, Aba, losing many captured grounds around the Port Harcourt sector etc. Obasanjo only capitalized on the momentum of perfect timing when the Biafrans had ceased fighting due to lack of weapons and hunger to "defeat" the Biafrans (we all know that's bullshit, even Alabi Isama exposed his lies). Colonel Etuk was probably the best Nigerian officer from the South in that war, and I think he was from Efik tribe if I'm not mistaken.

The best soldiers came from the Middle belt, the best disciplined and trained warriors who made the Ibos see the fiery eyes of war, the cowardly Yorubawa soldiers typically ran back to the rear at the first sound of battle. [/s]

Tobrasky:
Mu jarumai ne daga Arrewa, warriors from the North and our brothers from the Middle belt are the we, the rest of you from the South that were used in the war... just served as cannon fodder for the North, at the end we took the glory, paid the price in blood, and made sure the Nyamiri paid dearly for killing our leaders.

Tobrasky:
All these noise over a mere local regional outfit where the "protectors" will be armed with Dane guns and dressed in funny regalia? So what is stopping you from getting out from Nigeria? Ok we don't want you people so you can go, actually we dare you to push for secession! the Igbos tried it and we crushed them even though they put up one hell of a fight (much respect to them for trying)... with you people it won't take us more than one week to capture and cordon the entire SW. Only the North decides Nigeria can break up, no bastard is leaving these union without bloodshed and our approval. Walahi Ku mutane ne masu ban dariya

WesleyPepper:
Thanks for noticing my effort.

We must never allow Ibo Jews and Ibo Christians emasculate their Ibo Muslim counterpart.

Ibo muslims are destined to bring civilization and the art of tolerance to Alaigbo. They must never be silenced .

Ibo Muslims Amaka... Ibo Christians and Ibo Jews ajoka.

Salam Alykum to every peace loving Ibo Muslim

TheFreeOne:
Amotekun corps should concentrate on its primary objective of tackling kidnapping for ransom, killings, robbery and banditry and leave yahoo crime for NP/ EFCC to handle.

The urgent need to dislodge Fulani militia terrorists, kidnappers, criminals and protect our people should be the priority now.

Anyway I am impressed by the SW governors, house of assembly members and Yoruba nation for speaking out with one voice on Amotekun.
