Ojukwu had one mission.. to declare biafra and annex both Mid West and Yorubaland all the way down to Lagos.
For those who don't understand what "annex" mean.. Ojukwu wanted to be the colonial master over Yorubas and the Mid-West where he will be the President of Biafra and still be the one to pick Igbos as administrators over Yorubas and the people of Mid-West region. In short, he wanted to colonize the entire Southern Nigeria and put all Southerners under Igbo dominance.
It was the exact same thing Nnamdi Azikiwe attempted when he made frantic attempts, even fought Awolowo over Premiership position in Yorubaland when he had his Eastern region separate.

Don't forget they tried earlier to subjugate the entire country including Hausa-Fulanis that they are pointing accusing fingers at through the 15 January, 1966 coup d'etat that killed Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, Samuel Akintola and many prominent Nigerians except Igbos. The response of the North in July that same year (1966) through counter coup that killed the Igbo Military Head of State Aguiyi Ironsi made likes of Ojukwu to restrategize and focus on Igbo domination of Southern ethnic groups.

I read Victor Banjo was an intelligence officer, but sorry to say.. the guy na real mu.mu.
Why did we now fight for independence from the colonial masters if one tribe is pushing to re-colonize other tribes in Nigeria.

If he wanted to leave, he could have left when Igbos leaf but rather he saw it as an opportunity to be president onces Igbos have been defeated militarily

Even northerners reading my post, I urge any northerner that says I am distorting history. To come at me, open ur thread and let’s talk.

I came prepared.

If anybody asks the north what exactly is the offence of igbos, they will tell you Igbos killed sarduana Ahmadu bello and tafawa balewa in 1966. When Ahmadu bello and Tafawa balewa used their positions to destabilise the west, and unjustly sentenced Ahmadu bello for their crimes, nobody ever says northerners destabilise the west. When these guys were the first set of people to bring instability to Nigeria, nobody says that either.

But when a set of military officers acting in their own accord do sth, it’s Igbos. I am not in support of the killing but let’s look at that.

Northerners for long have been attacking igbos unprovoked long before 1966 happened. In 1960 Nigeria got independence, everybody was happy a chance for a new start, let God bless us all and let’s build the nation of our dreams. Northerners unprovoked didnt stop their resentment. They went as far as their leaders going on international tv to be spreading ethnic bigotry. What Nnamdi Kanu is doing now was what Ahmadu bello was doing in the 1960’s.

A premier of a region, going to say igbos are trying to dominate, his definition of igbo domination is, if a man comes to a place, he would work hard to succeed and try to rise up the ranks.

Northerners judge for urself, is a man’s willingness to succeed in life a bad thing? Is this an excuse for resentment?

Y were northern leaders doing that to their fellow countrymen unprovoked.

January 1966 came, and the deaths happened, July 1966 came and you had your revenge. Y then did u people attack the civilian population that had nothing to do with it. You have had ur revenge, y then are u pushing to destroy or annihilate. There were retaliations in the east no doubts.


Every single attempt for peace was destroyed by the north, as they continued to renegade agreements upon agreements. You renegade on ur agreement and same you still blames us for you not keeping to ur word. Same you still blame us for self preservation by declaring Biafra.


Let us be sincere with ourselves.

Then 50years later you would tell us we can’t become president because of what happened in 1967 that we declared Biafra, a problem That your own people caused technically.

What is this called?

Please pay attention to the following copied conditions and conclude if this was not an Ibo agenda to subjugate and control Western Nigeria and Lagos.....


.....................................................................

(iv) [b]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]

You people should stop being ungrateful! Honestly, this letter has opened my eyes as to Ojukwu's intentions for secession from Nigeria. I apologize for all the while I thought his actions were for selfish reasons. He actually planned what many of us currently have in mind for the southern Nigeria, which is to achieve a liberation from the Hausa/Fulani domination.

Any honest person from Southern Nigeria would agree that the best thing for southern Nigeria is to separate from the north because of the clear religious and cultural differences between the north and south. I strongly believe that even if we split along South/North line, the south can coexist peacefully because they have a lot of things in common, including the Christian religion and western education. Yorubas and Igbos can exist peacefully in one country because despite all the jabs they throw at each other online, both tribes intermarry and do everything together peacefully offline! That's the benefit of having western education and Christianity in common by the two tribes.


So, Ojukwu wanted the best for the south and I wish we southerners could unite and work together to achieve the goal of separating from the north

As a Lagos boy that speaks Yoruba fluently, Ojukwu planned to help Yoruba in displacing Hausa-Fulani troops from Yorubaland

You better re-read that letter,and this time remove your IPOB tainted glasses. The final aim of the Ibo in the scheme of things is evil and greedy domination and subjugation of other people's lands.
It is still in the pipeline with their modern leaders and political class. I feel sorry for any woke person attempting to accommodate them because that person or group of people would suffer the Victor Banjo treatment if the Ibo ever achieve their aim.

Jman06:
There's nothing in that letter suggestive of any intentions to subjugate the southwest. Forming a military government in Legos was intended to help Victor Banjo stabilize and not get captured by Nigerian government. I don't know why you yorubas always suspect Igbos all the time even when we're extending hands of fellowship to you.

Akenzua01:
victor banjo is the typical y0ruba COWARD who abandoned Biafrans and ran to sell us out to the enemy, he was captured by Ojukwu and dealt with...

y0ruba people massacred all those minorities, very evil and treacherous act.

No wonder you people are regarded as two-faced saboteurs by every other tribe.

Even 0basanjo when he was the president, he massacred thousands in Udi in Bayelsa state, and Timaya also sang about it in his music.

why are y0rubas always like this to minorities?

All you guys know is wickedness, lies and deceit to the gullible ones, while you massacre them behind their backs.. Evil people.

Don't rewrite history.
It was the killing of rhe prominent Northerners while the ones in the East were been cleverly spared that led the killings of Ifbos. And one deluded human here say the easteners have ways stayed on agreement. So what happened that the easteners renege on klong their own people when others proceeded to carry out their own part of the task....these primitive pigs always feell smarter than others
You reap what you sow
You will never be President!

Alexiiydon:
how are Yoruba betrayers mention 10 Yoruba men that support ojukwus madness I can mention 20 that are not in support that victor agreed to ojukwu stupid plan does not make everybody a betrayal 🤡🤡🤡ojukwu is the greatest betrayal who betrayed his region people around him foolish victor does not know ojukwu was planning to use and dump him because of greediness

confusedlady:
Extend your handshake beyond the elbow to yourself and leave Yoruba lands alone. It is a known fact that Ibos are covetous and greedy by nature. Your ultimate agenda is domination and subjugation of people's lands and property.
Azikiwe in 1953 removed Mr Eyo Ita as premier of the Eastern Region and became the premier. In 1959 he installed his stooge Michael Okpara as premier the greedily crossed over to Lagos where he won a parliamentary seat and tried to become the Premier of the Western Region. What greed. He could not accept Eyo,a Calabar and minority as premier of the East yet he wanted to be installed as a premier in Yoruba land. Luckily for the Yoruba Chief Awolowo thwarted the evil plan.

Ojukwu now in this evil,greedy and covetous letter is telling Victor Banjo that when his for es had conquered Lagos the Biafran army would set up an army of occupation controlled by Ojukwu. Who does that?

That is why that evil Bill proposed by Bejamin Kalu is aimed at the final Ibo supremacist agenda of domination and subjugation and it will be fought vigorously and defeated in the legislature at the appropriate time.

Any presumed friendship with the average Ibo is like riding on the back of a tiger. Ultimately you will end up in its belly.

Ibos should go back to their arid and landlocked 5 states and develop them instead of covetous glances at Port Harcourt and Lagos. Don't you see the irony in the disgraceful fact that after Peter Obi spent two four year terms as governor of Anambra State he shamelessly retired to Lagos and not Onitsha. That is food for thought.

You make a very good case why Nigeria should allow Igbos go their way as a seperate country. That's what most Igbos want too

Then talk to your politicians to set the ball rolling since all your terrorist IPOB agitators are incarcerated.

confusedlady:
I am bumping this thread because they have started their falsehood and propaganda on why Odumegwu Ojukwu attempted to invade Lagos during the civil war.
The letter in the OP is self explanatory of Ojukwu's dangerous megalomaniac agenda of subjugation of Lagos as a vassal state to Biafra.

tubolancer:
A great lie, Banjo is a puppet, the agenda was set long before Banjo was elected to attack Yorubaland, he was to be eliminated as soon as the Biafran captured Lagos, Banjo walked into the trap before he realized it was too late...
