Because he was identified as a Yoruba soldier fighting on the Nigerian side

Look at him looking like a staff of office.
I wouldn't be surprised if he will go home to join others in starving Biafran children. They would release him and he would go back and lie that he led the forces that captured Aba, Okigwe, Orlu, Owerri and Onitsha in one night..

In the civil war, 70% of those in the Nigerian side were northerners, 20% were middle belt and only 10% were South Western.

😂 😂.....

....Anyway, the greatest mistake Ojukwu made was asking a Yoruba man- Victor Banjo to lead the west ward advance of Biafran troops.

That mistake was the single most significant factor that ended up changing the trajectory of that war.

It also lends credence to the fact that the events that led to that war were more ideological than tribal...

How else would you explain a Yoruba man being asked to lead an offensive on his region?

Do you know why hardly any Prisoners of War were released by the Biafran side after the War ?
They where routinely butchered and in some cases eaten


Read Gen Alabi Isama's Tragedy of Victory

Another funny news.

Stop the nonsense propaganda. There are international rules even in war! Soldiers are not allowed to kill captured soldiers from the other side. Nothing to do with his tribe! If Ibos had the opportunity they would kill him. War protocol forbids it!

If Biafran soldiers killed other soldiers that weren’t yoruba after they were captured it means the Biafran soldiers were not obeying the rules of law. If anything this statement is true shows Biafrans were killing captured Northern soldiers because they were from the North. Rather than portray Biafran soldiers in good light it displays Babarian acts and war crimes against the North!

Don’t forget once a soldier is captured he is deemed incapable of fighting! Once you capture an enemy soldier, you are responsible for his safety and welfare. So the idea of sparing someone because he is yoruba is all lies! Like I said if it is true it means you were committing war crimes killing captured Northern soldiers.


It is an international war crime to kill a captured soldier! It is even against the law to torture a captured soldier.

This is typical of the lies told!

Nice Photoshop of the text into the picture. Nowhere the tribe of the soldier was confirmed except IPOB media.

Biafra military is the most naive military on the face of the earth.

It was an attempt at propaganda and gaslight by the unenlightened and uninformed that backfired.

Mumu say na photoshop , here's the declassified book with various documented picture files that covered and reported all the events in the civil war. The title of the book is boldly written there on Google books.

There’s nothing to prove that the guy is a soldier. He might have been anybody..

That being said, take a look at the said man well, tagging him a Yoruba makes this report all completely false! ... Look at the shape from top-bottom (Zoom) it well, you’ll clearly see he’s not a Yoruba man..

But Igbos are just one funny people. Imagine them acting like they don’t know what’s call war! In war, there’s no winner or loser, there are just casualties! Both Nigeria and Biafra suffered casualties! But cuz Biafra suffered a lot doesn’t make Biafra victims!

Take a look at isreal / Gaza for example... Was it only hamas or Gaza soldiers isreal are killing? No! They’re killing anything kill-able! Many ordinary civilians have been killed! And you know what? Igbos are hailing isreal everyday! They’ve never for once criticize isreal for killing innocent civilians in Gaza!

But here they’re, wanting to blame Nigeria soldiers for killing Biafra civilians! ... I no just dey take these people serious at all!

We will not forget

Fact still stands:

1) if the story is true it means you committed atrocities against northerners during the war. For sparing a yoruba captured to be an issue worth highlighting, it means it was normal practice by Biafran soldiers to brutally MURDER captured Northerners! That is a war crime! That is barbaric, sadistic and against the international laws of war!
2) the alternative is the whole story is a lie and typical revisionist propaganda!

Pick one!

Let me make it clear! You are not doing any captured yoruba soldier any favour a by not killing him. Once an enemy soldier is captured, his welfare and safety becomes your responsibility. If you kill him you have committed a war crime under the Geneva accord!

I don Taya for these our eastern brothers. They're so desperate. Honestly I just wish the Nigerian union could be dissolved as soon as possible.

Still doesn't prove anything. Ibo propaganda machine was very active during the war. And why would they spare his life because he was a Yoruba man when the Nigerian side was led mainly by Yoruba officers?

They spared that man's life because he already surrendered. An Hausa soldier killed a captured Biafran soldier during the war, the soldier was barely a kid. Benjamin Adekunle who really didn't care about biafrans, had the Hausa soldier executed. Haven't you read or watched that story before?

We pray history shouldn't repeat itself

Peace talk only

I checked out the book. Rubbish propaganda. The author is an IPOB. I saw some other garbage books he typed about Biafria
He could not even reference where he stole the picture from which I already attached above. On the original picture. Nothing was mentioned about tribe of the soldier. The IPOB author called Emeka added his own text that the captured soldier was Yoruba

It can't happen again

IPOB

Fake caption. Anyone can reverse search the image to obtain the original.

The original picture by Ron Burton did not have a tribe mentioned in the caption. Why are you people so fake with everything. That's how you have been writing books distorting the history of other Nigerian ethnic groups..

See propaganda..... Where is the evidence?

So simply because someone wrote 'His life was spared because he was a Yoruba man', that exonerate you from your tribalistic nature.

Oga, forget that one.....anybody can caption a picture....

Always propaganding! Only Yoruba gave Igbo back their property. That is a fact. Despite this, we are accused of all sorts by Igbo short of giving them our mama breast to suck.

SeeWahala:
In the civil war, 70% of those in the Nigerian side were northerners, 20% were middle belt and only 10% were South Western.

No,! 70 percent are the middle beltans, 20 percent Yoruba ,7 percent hausa/ Fulani and 3 percent south south
