Kemz77: OP and all others, watch this video to the end. You will know why Yorubas will never ever challenge Northerners. And why they will always join Northerners to kill you. Even if Northerners is beating and killing them, and a fight breaks out between Northerners and Igbos, Yorubas will join Northerners and kill you.
Racoon: Histroy should have inform you that these people still held out their turfs for long before they cave in cowardice/diplomacy whatever you choose to call it.
Nnamdi Azikwe was a such Pan-Africanist that was even advising Lt.Col.Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu against leading the succession of Biafra from the Nigerian State.He simply moved over to the Nigerian side because he feel his vision for a greater unified Nigeria is being threatened.
As for Lt.Col.Ojukwu, I personally disagrees with the Eastern region to declear the Republic of Biafra in the initial stage because the region is not strong military wise but the continued progrom being visited on the Igbos pre & post July-1967 makes it a welcomed option.
Ojukwu alongside most of the then Nigerian Army Officers(Lt.Cols.Patrick Awunnah, Alex Madiebo, Mike Ivenso, Mike Imo, Banjo, Majors-Humfrey Chukwuka, Chukwa Patrick Nzeogwu, Adewale Ademoyega etc) held the Nigerian forces spell bound even with foreign nation assistance until the weapon of hunger(as advised by late Obafemi Awolowo) & diplomatic embargo have to be enlisted before they can have a phyrric victory.
Lt.Col.Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu held their grounds for long time before using diplomacy to abscond.No one could bully them around or easily suppress their convictions.However, our brothers from the other divide gives up to cowardice so easily on the go.Late Pa Micheal Imodu(Labour Leader)/Gani Fawenhimi, /Adekunle Ajasin, Omoyele Sowore are among the few resilient Yorubas of note that history will never forget.
Racoon: Cowardice in their blood.Brigadier Babafemi Ogundipe couldn't holdout against an army controlled by Lt.Col.Yakubu Gowon/Murtala Mohammed in Ikeja Cantoment during the northern counter coup of 28-29 July 1966.Compare it to the the bravery of the likes of Lt.Col.Dimka(1976) & Maj.Gideon Gwarza Orkar(1990)
Same way Lt.Gen.Oladapo Donaldson Diya, Maj.Gen. Abdulkareem Adisa, Maj.Gen.Tajudeen Olarenwaju were weeping shamelessly before the then dreaded Major Hamza Al-Mustspha.
The SW leaders(Oni of Ife and Soun Of Ogbomosho) were the first to condemn the alleged involvement of the afore Officers in the phantom coup of Dec.1997 against Gen.Abacha even when the true nature of the coup has not been investigated.
How about runaway Igbo leaders Azikwe Ojukwu Nnamdi kanu
You no Dey look person before you call your own name
Captainrambo2: see zombie backing away with style. Which part of esan land re you from ? What's the name of you king. Stop using the name osaze you coward
You bloody cowards that think everyone that hates them is Yoruba Remember how Ikwerre is rejecting your left and right your indeed a curse to yourself
Your the Biafran clown Answer my questions raised and I will take you serious
kettykings: But before ojukwu ran, more than half of the military men and generals were nursing one life threatening injury or the other, 98% of the 2nd division was gone, the 3rd division had lost 33,000 soldiers in operation oau and the military was already resorting to non combatants tactics
For where 3 million igbos has been roasted Defeat was imminent Yorubas sacked igbos from Midwest Why do you hate awolowo so bad till today lol
jimyjames: The only thing I know about awolowo is that he is a failed politician , he begged to be president of Nigeria even if it was for just 2 days, but he never had it and committed suicide
In guellera warfare running away is a very important tactics show me a guellera soldier that has never ran away Mandela ran away to Igbo people and lived in abia for many months
No wonder you can’t win a war Running away is part of war tactic loooool I’m not Yoruba and don’t divert topic to awolowo the conqueror and destroyer of Biafra that £20 permanently endured you won’t be forgetting him anytime soon
That said you have not answered why you run away all the time ?
jimyjames: Lol were was he arrested ? Wasn't he arrested in a Yoruba land? He was about hosting a mega rally how many of his followers turned up that day? Just a hand full of family and friends that were beating and sent home by vigilanty men,
Yes I agree both are fighting different battle sowore should gather more crowd cause his fighting for Nigeria right? How come a population of close to 200 million Nigerians he is fighting for he has never gatthered a crowed of 500 ,? He is a failed journalist , a failed activist , and a failed politician , in the last election he didn't even come 3th , and he thinks he can organize a revolution hmmm your hero is really a hero in Yoruba land
Now you have reduced it to personality attack
Is that how you dodge the fact Igbos are spineless cowards
jimyjames: A man that fights his superior and runs away is better than a verbal warrior that has never thrown a punch at his enemy and shamefully takes the easy way out by cometting suicide , like your hero's awolowo and abiola people who commit suicide are worse cowards
The suicide theory was formed by igbos Let me list out some of your fake theories about Yorubas Lagos is no mans land We own 75% of Lagos Nnamdi Azikwe was first region of western region Awolowo commited Suicide “Afonja”
Yorubas are cowards and lazy (yet they do better than you in all indices)
I have never seen a more irritating tribes like iPods And you only said it to divert attention from facts your leaders are cowards who run away all the time when he heat gets too much
jimyjames: Look at your man after bail, he's not even permitted to live abuja its a pity but thank God manzi KANU worked for his release
Look at nnamdi KANUs welcome rally
Are you aware that’s Abuja a place Yorubas are not in excess and that’s the east a place with lots of Igbos Besides both are fighting different battles
Can someone explain to me why in a particular ethnic group they see running away as strength
We saw how Ken Saro wiwa MKO Abiola YARDUA and obj stayed in jail and fought their cause even Dasuki for 5 years but this bunch of cowards make the most noise and run away
Azikwe ran away to the Caribbeans during the first military coup
Ojukwu dressed like a woman and ran to Ivory Coast
Kanu swam with sharks to avoid the Nigerian army
Is cowardice borne inside their DNA Sowore could have ran away
Magicians: But his point is crystal clear while a cursed n foolish tribe accuse others of cowardice but all of theheros they celebrate lived a life of cowardice from Ojukwu that ran away dresses in kaftan to Kanu that dressed as suicide bomber out of Nigeria.
Here is a Sowore a man among equal standing mightily before a president he disagree with what he represent. Only lunatics AI still not get the point with the elaborate explanation I made.
