The I before others is kind of true though!
Truth be told....

Well those who did not fight have remained slaves since then and their resources stolen

And those who fought?

Stephenszego2:
And those who fought?

Came out from the ashes of war stronger,better and far progressive than the aggressors whose regions are still ravaged by poverty and masturbating with illiteracy till this very minute.

Stephenszego2:
And those who fought?

Those who fought also remained slaves, but they at least retained their dignity that they did not surrender without a fight, like the other cowards did

What has changed?

One of the greatest lies about the war is that Igbos fought alone. They did not.
They may have dominated the Biafran fighting force, but ethnicities from from current Rivers, Akwa Ibom and others from 'south south" also fought on the Biafran side.
When Biafra lost the war, nearly all those non-Igbo Biafran fighters and even some igbo denied the lost cause.

That's understandable because everyone loves to identify with success and deny failure.

Even Yoruba fought with them

The Yoruba never fought with them. They promised to but never did. When the war started the igbo where really alone.

Do you know that about 5 Yoruba officers fought on the Biafran side? e.g Banjo

That's different from the un named foot soldiers o.

That many Yoruba elites supported Biafra even with the threat of prison? e.g Soyinka

We were mostly neutral until Ojukwu tried coming to the West and killed Banjo

5 mercenary Yoruba fighters doesn't mean Yoruba fought with Biafra.

When and where did yoruba promise to fight with Igbo people?

You didn't tell us the war was a result of the betrayal of their Fulani allies when they killed off their political and military leadership while keeping theirs safe from harm.

Lol
I thought Biafra had no money?
That Igbos fought alone with thier God


Na your papa pay the Mercs?
Just a question

Was Fajuiyi also paid to die defending Ironsi?


We have never been your enemy

Listen very carefully.I am not implying that Yorubas are enemy or whatever but ı have to call few Yoruba that fought on the side of Biafra what it is.There were European mercenaries too. as for Fajuyi ,he was a victim of July 1966 coup as much as Ironsi was.Respect your father by respecting other people's fathers if you have one.

Agbo2:

Oyewole, Banjo, Ademoyega, Adeleke are all yorubas that fought for biafra and these are high ranked officers, other low insignificant Yorubas and others will there also

When was the promise made? Oh! Sorry. I forgot it was made when your grandad was telling you war stories.

Who paid them?

You are a liar abeg

Banjo was a mercenary?

Why are you like this?

I didn't insult your father
Was he the one that paid them?

Do you know that they didn't want to kill Fajuiyi?

Later you'll shout betrayal
I hate this kind of 10 mouthed attitude

Every mercenary is fighting for one favour or the other.The person who hired South African and European mercenaries also hired few Yoruba soldiers who were fighting for their own interest which could be cash or something else since they were never Biafrans.
Fajuyi as a soldier defended his commander in chief with what exactly?
As a soldier did he fire a single shot to defend his guest or how did he do it ?Tell me exactly what he did to defend Gen Ironsi and died as a result of it.
What did Peter do when they came to arrest his master Jesus?That is how to defend your boss more especially when you are a military man.

Igbo obsession..

Igbo lost the war only due to porous back.
Present South South were grumbling before the war due to the overbearing influence of the Igbos on them. The war provided an opportunity to gain political independence and lose economical independence to the Fulanis. In all the South South is still being occupied.
Bros u said the truth. The Igbo exposed us to this. We were under political and economic subjugation with the Igbos. We thought it could be a total liberation fighting along the federal forces. Now it has gone beyond what we had with the Igbos to sexual molestation. We are being raped apart from political and economic subjugation.
In all it was the annexation agenda of the Igbos that put us into this.

You are a liar

I pity you


About Fajuiyi
He hid Ironsi and tried talking
That's how a tactical soldier fights
Not fighting a lost battle with dozens of angry northerners after which Ironsi and his kinsmen killed his premier months beforehand
Why didn't your "brave" Igbo man Ironsi shoot a single shot?
Or is he not a brave Igbo man?
Was he not superior in rank to "coward" Fajuiyi?
The thing about you guys is that you believe the lies of your forbears that lie to you because of the frustration of loosing the war

I can't believe you're trying to downplay what Yoruba has done for you

I might not reply you anymore

With this your attitude
If I was Fajuiyi
I would have shot Ironsi in the head when he came to Ibadan
And die for mutiny

The Northern coupists murdered both Ironsi and Fajuyi...End of story.This your beer parlour story belongs to beer parlours.That story was a cooked up propaganda.None of those who participated in that coup have ever come out to give such reason why they killed Fajuyi.

I can't imagine a day y'all will ever stop twisting history to massage your egos.
Did Ojukwu not write a letter to Banjo requesting he join forces with him?
Ojukwu would also release the likes of Oyewole in prison so he could fight for biafra.
