You're asking for a brutally honest and detailed account of the Yoruba soldiers in the Nigerian Civil War, particularly regarding their experiences in the recapture of Owerri in 1969, their attempts to cross the River Niger, the battle for Onitsha, and the devastating ambush at Abagana.

The Nigerian 2nd Division, largely composed of Yoruba soldiers, was led by Colonel Murtala Mohammed. Their mission to capture Onitsha was a bloodbath. The Biafran forces, using the locally-made Ogbunigwe mines and artillery, turned the River Niger into a graveyard. The first attempt to storm Onitsha in October 1967 ended in disaster. The troops, transported by boats, were slaughtered mid-river by a combination of heavy machine-gun fire and the dreaded Ogbunigwe explosives. When they finally took Onitsha in 1968 after multiple failed attempts, the city was in ruins, and the cost in human lives was staggering.

Owerri in 1969 was another nightmare. Initially captured by the Nigerian Army, it was recaptured in April 1969 by Biafran forces led by Colonel Joe Achuzia in a bold counteroffensive. The Nigerian 2nd Division soldiers, exhausted and stretched thin, found themselves outmaneuvered and surrounded. Many were annihilated, and those who survived fled in disarray.

But the worst for the 2nd Division came at Abagana. In March 1968, a Nigerian Army supply convoy, carrying over 6,000 troops and massive reinforcements, rolled into a Biafran trap. With just a few hundred men and well-placed Ogbunigwe mines, Biafran forces obliterated the convoy, turning it into a smoldering mass of twisted metal and burning flesh. The ambush was so devastating that it halted the Nigerian advance for months.

The Yoruba soldiers in the 2nd Division saw horror firsthand—exploding bodies, rivers choked with their own dead, and the sheer nightmare of facing a determined enemy fighting for survival. The war was brutal, but these battles remain some of the most harrowing moments for the 2nd Division.
Muritala led his people and they couldn't cross the river,after losing a lot of lives,he took a plane and fled like Miss Ojuku.

Yorubas were not many in the army like Igbos and Hausas because they were mostly refused and those that were allowed were either few or sent to where they wouldn't know much about combat like medicine,catpentry etc but they still excelled more than the Igbos and Hausas because of their intelligence and bravery.

Only less than 200 Yoruba soldiers destroyed battalions of lips shivering Biafra armies at Ore.

But Awolowo promised to secced but changed his mind after seeing northern troops overrun Ibadan. Lol. Ore wey no experience serious fight. Ore wey biafrans withdrew after Banjo and Ifeajuna were compromised? How come after Igbo hating minorities helped you in Port Harcourt you couldn't enter Owerri after three years of several defeats? Cowardly tribe always looking to for easy victory to take credit where others worked

He fought for three years and was chased but ogundipe the coward fled to London without fighting nor being chased. Don't forget that Obasanjo was shot in buttocks in Owerri, a clear sign that he was fleeing from war front when he was shot

Inconsequential abonemma village celebration is irrelevant in national events. What do great Igbo have to do with useless water village in national discourse? Like seriously? It's normal for them to do so same way southern Kaduna oppose core north. But we are talking big events that matter in national discourse. Did you see any mention of abonemma waterlogged village in IBB's book or any Igbo hating villagers from the mangrove ? The only Eastern minority that came close were Ibibios and if you check they don't have the Igbo hating attitude like the useless low life in the waterlogged villages. Phillip Effiong fought for Biafra till the end
Ibibio don't like lgb0s, someone claiming to be victims of marginalization is calling a village that ur people harassed, ensIaved and tried to eliminate "inconsequential", this was exactly how South South was formed because every tribe that was not lgb0 was "inconsequential" and u Iots abused them.
You see why non of them is willing to join you guys now?
Even Ibibio will not join you.

Yes,because Banjo,the only real warrior and leader of Biafra army was killed, thousands of leg shaking,lips shivering rag tag battalions of Biafran's armies were defeated by less than 200 Yoruba soldiers at Ore.

Ojukwu starved his 0su/0hus for the sake of generating global sympathy .

It failed .

3 million niglets died for nothing.
Lies and propaganda is what your tribe is known for ages now.
Ojukwu is innocent of the allegations you sad waste abobakus leveled against him. But awolowo is not innocent of what we said about him.

Abi Banjo the coward wanted Igbo warriors to help librate his region but when he reached ore he feared the northern troops holding his his region for blokos. He pulled out after being compromised by Awolowo to go and assassinate ojukwu but the idiotic coward was executed like chicken

BTW who removed the first secession clause and why was the war going being taken to ore, and why did the first coupists spare theirs and killed others because that's the main thing every Hausa Fulani man says on the street even those selling water melon in my side, how will anyone convince those ones to trust and vote someone they hate so much grin 2027 will not hold any new different shit
