The fact remains the whole SE is the size of Oyo alone. The fact also remains that the population you see in the SE is because they are jam packed into a very small land area. So the population will look bigger than it is. The fact remains Igbo's are in the SW in the greatest population in Nigeria. Should they try to cause trouble, it will be to their detriment. Face the people issuing threats and advise them. I hope you all learn from history. I am just speaking facts. if you dont like it, nothing can be done about that. wink

lol unfortunately they are not issuing any threat to any igbo so that is non of our biz.it is the farouk,asari and faany that are exchanging words.please face those from the north that are issuing threat and slyly called awo a coward.size means nothing in development if not sudan should be more developed than luxemburg.yeah the same way a well travelled northerner will also say the igbos in the nothern domain is higher than any other zone sheesh.

The igbo will come out tops, by the time housa cancels out youruba and fulani wipes out middle belt, the ijaw will swallow ogoni and cest fini!

So you agree there is a village of monkeys iÑ ogbomosho, whÉre is ya population? BecÅuse lasgidi will produce an igbo governor soon due to the igenuity of igbos, buying up the city without shooting a bullet.

This is what gets Ndigbo in trouble everytime - coveting what belongs to others.

1. Starting with Zik wanting yto be premier of the Western region, losing, and then lying about his loss
2. Ironsi promulgating decree 34, abolishing Hausa as testing language so that Igbo civil servants could get jobs in the North, and Ojukwu announcing to the whole world that Ndigbo would export civil servants to the rest of Nigeria
3. Organizing the first coup and setting the dangerous precedent which has set Nigeria back by 300 years

You have your own territory, you wont develop it but you want what belongs to others.

Can you all please fvucking leave and NEVER return?? Lagos existed for hundreds of years before Ibos migrated near Nigeria. The quality of life will immediately increase as soon as all the Ibo criminals, kidnappers, 419ers, drug barons, all leave and go back to their land locked, erosion plagued lands!

See how the scoundrel called "Katsumoto" conveniently changed the topic to Igbo-Yoruba tussle. Hope u are not on someone's payroll to derail threads that can promote southern solidarity. The way you emerged from the blues to distort history is suspicious. Yorubas can deny all the time about the roles played by their leaders. But some elements in the north and west continues to embarrass them with the truth.

Since they have taken it, I would have expected Ndigbo to produce the governor at the last election. Afterall Igbos number 90% of Lagos.

Yoruba's did nothing to you. They only defended their region, sent some volunteers to end the war when their region was threatened. Igbo's had safe passage from the SW to the SE when the war started. They even recovered their properties after the war in the SW. What more are you people looking for? Why not face the people that betrayed you who are still staring at you in the SS? They are even living in your properties and you cant say pim.

Below is the letter from Ojukwu displaying his love for south west. Read and tell why should any sane person support these greedy fools.



if this is not occupation of our land then what?

LETTER FROM LT.COL. OJUKWU TO LT. COL.BANJO


22nd AUGUST 1967

From:

The Military Governor,Republic of Biafra Enugu,22nd August, 1967

.My dear Victor,

1. For some time now, you and I have been discussing the circumstances that have led to the current and inevitable disintegration of what was the Federation of Nigeria. We have been fully convinced that the aim of the Hausa/Fulani complex has ever been, and will ever remain, the total domination of every other part of what was known as the Federation of Nigeria.


It is impossible to forget that the crisis which led to the army take over in January 1966, the coup of the Northern soldiers led by Gowon in July 1966, the wholesale and indiscriminate massacre of the people of what is now Biafra- and, to a less degree, the people of the Mid-West and West, including the Yorubas, were all the direct result of Hausa/Fulani attempt to subjugate and use as tools, the gallant people of Western Nigeria namely the Yorubas.


We do not need to remind ourselves of the heavy losses in life and property suffered by the Yoruba people in their fight for justice and freedom during 1965.

2. Sharing.our belief that the people of Yorubaland have a right to live a life of equality and self-respect and justice free of domination and dictatorship from any quarter, you have both identified with the cause of the Biafra struggle for survival and expressed your determination to see the people of Yorubaland freed from Hausa/Fulani domination.We, the people of Biafra, for our part are willing and have decided to give you and the people of Yorubaland every assistance to achieve your aim.

3. After clearing the whole question with my Executive Council, I, as the Commander in Chief of the Biafran Armed Forces, have decided to place at your disposal Biafran forces, for the liberation ofYorubaland on the following clear conditions:-

(i) You will have nothing to do with the Military Administrator in the Mid-West Territory during your sojourn there prior to your move to the West.

(ii) The willingness and preparedness of Biafra to assist any part of the former Federation of Nigeria wishing and willing to liberate itself from the Hausa/Fulani domination, does not in anyway whateverimply any inclination on her part to compromise her sovereignty or preserve what remains of the defunct Federation of Nigeria. In other words, our sovereignty and break with Nigeria is irrevocable. Nothing must, therefore be said or done by you or any member of the Liberation Army to give a contrary impression.

(iii) Biafra is determined to maintain and safeguard her sovereignty and ensure that her integrity and safety are never again threatened

.(iv) Biafran troops will, after the liberation of the Yorubaland, remain in that territory only for as long as we in Biafra consider it necessary for the Yorubas to consolidate their position and sovereignty against any external threat.

(v) On the liberation of the Yorubaland, you will be appointed as the Military Governor of that territory.

(vi) The liberation of Western Nigeria will be a prelude to the liberation of all Yorubas up to the River Niger and the severance of all connections between the West and the North at Jebba.

(vii) During the period of Biafrans troops’ presence in your territory, all political measures, statements or decrees shall be subject to the approval, in writing by myself or on my authority.

(viii) Should our troops arrive and liberate Lagos, the government of the Republic of Biafra reserves the right to appoint a Military administrator for the territory. Such an Administrator will remain in office until a merger of that territory with Yorubaland is effected by Biafran troops.

(ix) As soon as possible after your appointment as the Military Governor of Western Nigeria and separation of that territory from Nigeria, you and I must meet to discuss:

(a) the duration of stay of Biafran troops in your territory;

(b) the areas and subjects of cooperation between the liberated sovereign states of Western Nigeria, or by what name it may call itself, and Biafra.

4. I do not need to remind you that Biafra regards all Yoruba as friends. As such everything should be done, to ensure the minimum force and loss of life are involved in achieving the objective of liberation.

5. It is essential, in order to avoid misunderstanding or confusion, that all subsequent requests for support be formally made to me by you in writing.

6. Will you please signify in writing, your acceptance of the above conditions so that you may leave for Western Nigeria and lead the army of liberation.

Yours very sincerely,

signed Lt. Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu,

Military Governor and Commander in Chief of Biafran Armed Forces.

culled from " A Break in the Silence : Lt. Col. Victor Adebukunola Banjo, pp.66-68, by F. Adetowun Ogunsheye, Spectrum Books, Ibadan, 2001" . Provided by Prof. Olufemi Ojo.



Only a moronic dingbat will regard the alleged letter from Ojukwu to Banjo as remotely genuine. This is another handiwork of western Nigerian regional publication of 1967 that planted the crap about Francis Fajuiyi wanting to die with Ironsi.

Heads of State and Commander in Chiefs do not write personal letters to field commanders. All correspondents between the C-in-C and field commanders go through the Army Headquarters.

In the aforementioned fraud called letter from Ojukwu to Banjo, there was no coat of arms of Biafra or government of eastern region yet foolishly enough, the instigators of this crap forgot that Ojukwu could not address to himself as Lt Col, Military Governor and Commander in Chief of Biafran Armed Forces as the conclusion of the letter suggested.

When Ojukwu was Lt Col, he properly addressed himself as Military Governor of Eastern Region of Nigeria. When Biafra was declared, he also properly addressed himself as General and Commander in Chief of Biafran Armed Forces.

Has disunity killed the South so much that the North can now make such comments?

Faruk who also claimed that the North had a population of 120 million compared to only 50 million in the South said that the onshore/offshore issue was cheating the North.

That letter was published in a book several decades before Ojukwu died but Ojukwu did not respond to it. If someone claims you did something as eventful as ordering an invasion, then you MUST respond to it, if its not true. Ojukwu granted many interviews, never addressed that letter preferring to lie about freeing Awo from prison.

Also during the interviews you alleged Ojukwu granted, he made it as a duty not to honor rumors and innuendoes such as this letter. I guess you are the only creature that did not know Gowon had no power of influence in eastern region of Nigeria.

No, he had no influence; he was only paying the wages of all civil servants, including Ojukwu and they were accepting it.
