Scared of who exactly ? Igbos? Definitely Yorubas ain't scared of Igbo in whatever form. The last time I checked,it was these same 'cowards' that crushed your inordinate dream and quickly ensured your defeat when your over ambitious 'hero' ventured into Yorubaland. Yoruba officers were real nemesis to the biafrans- Benjamin Adekunle,Alani Akinrinade,Alabi Isama,Olusegun Obasanjo. Yorubas are intellectually superior to Igbos so there is no way you can defeat them in any form of confrontation. They think better than you guys!

Obasanjo has always had a pot belly. He hardly put on the belt across his belly fastened to the one that run diagonally across his right shoulder.

If you yorubas weren't scared Ogundipe ,would have been the head of state after Aguiyi-Ironsi in accordance with military heirachy. It was banjo ' inconsistencies and deviation from laid out plans to take the west that caused the delay that eventually made Britain to restrategize and remobilze nigerian troops to recapture Benin.

Point of correction, he started a war he could not finish and ran away. That doesn't make you bold or strong. The major actors in that war were Yorubas, that informs why Igbos never liked the name Adekunle and collapse at the sight of scorpion.

Igbos are geniuses.They weren't prepared for the war but yet rose up to the occasion. If it were youbas aka ofe.mmanu eaters they'll have peed in their pampers long ago.

It was the whole Nigeria against Igbos, remember. Yet it took years. Most of the weapons were locally made by igbos compared to the continuos shipment of jet fighters, machine guns, bazookas by the british not to talk of destruction of farmlands.Killing women and children.
If anybody can laugh remembering that genocide was committed then that ediot should be packed together witth his entire family and dumped into Sambisa forest.

Trust me,you don't want to debate this issue with me. When you are told a one-sided story and you are so lazy that you can't conduct your own research to establish fact,one cannot, but pardon you when you spew crap like you just did. For the record,Banjo,a Yorubaman was responsible for initial success recorded by Biafran rebels at the early stage of the war. You were not defeated by any Britain or Russia;all these are part of your chest-beating ego. You were crushed by Nigeria and Nigeria is ready to do it again if you allowed yourself to be misled by one silly Kanu. Good day!

The severla military coup aside, this was when the Nigerian military had dignity and was highly respected, unlike the laughing stock it has become today in African and d world in general.

U think I'm telling a lie, look at d pic again, which of those Generals has a big pot belly, unlike those we have today, such that one couldnt lift his right leg more than four inches off the ground while marching and giving a salute during the May 29th inauguaration ceremony.

Karma is a biatch!

Aguiyi Ironsi became Head of state after hatching the FIRST EVER BLOODY COUP in the History of Nigeria.
Dont let us forget that he killed-off all important Military and non-Military leader of the North in one fell swoop, including the then Premier, Tafawa Balewa!

So what do you expect, when it was his turn to die? huh huh huh
He was kicked, tied to a moving vehicle and dragged like a rag, all over the place before being decapitated into pieces.

This is the "real genesis" of the hatred between the hausas and the Ibos....... adding the Yorubas into the mix is just a cowardly way of looking for somebody to blame for their own inhumanity, greed and failures.

Lets not also forget that "a good friend and ally Yoruba Soldier", who was hosting Ironsi at that point in Ibadan, selflessly chose to lay down his own life, for his guest Ironsi, ..... and all he got was still insults from this ungrateful lots


A case of doing unto others, what you should expect them to do unto you.

That is the "classic definition of FOOLISHNESS borne out of EGOISTIC ARROGANCE!

No wonder over 3million of you chaps got wasted for no single benefit because the so-called "WarLord" had to scamper away in female garb, while the abandoned followers had to grovel and beg to be allowed to live!

This is the difference once again, between a people that are intelligent... and one that are simpletons!


Common sense dictates that if you are NOT READY for a fight, you should "TACTICALLY RETREAT"..... until you are sure of the outcome.
They call that cowardice but intelligent people know it is "tactics and strategy".


This same chest-beating trait was demonstrated in the last election when Ibos knew they dont have the numbers and can do nadda, if Yorubas did not support their candidate (Jonathan) but they still went about boasting and threatening to "make the country ungovernable" if Jonathan was not elected!

The result, not different from what happened in 1969/70, .... was a VERY CRUSHING DEFEAT, at the hands of those with superior intelligence.
Yet all their chest-beating and boasting came to nothing after Jonathan was defeated soundly!

Honestly,there is no harm in being modest while you learn to conquer.

If l were Igbo, l tell you, l will radically change the mindset of my people.
I will let them know that "strategy and tactics" are never noisy because it is an empty drum that makes the loudest noise! undecided

Please, let us just stop talking about these events .... the shame is unimaginable kwa.

Are you saying if I engage in random killing of your family members, you'll wait until you are ready to engage me? By then there'll be no one to bear your family name.

What the north wanted was the same thing Hitler planned for Israel. Total annihilaation.

Okay since you probably was absent due to truancy to your history classes. What happenend was that Igbos embraced western education during the colonial times while the North outlawed it as they are still during now through BH.
The Igbos became enlightened and educated so when the British were leaving after independence most of the jobs fell into the Igbos hands since they went to school while the Abokis were chasing cows. The military had many igbo ranking officers.

The North saw this and they started killing igbos anywhere and everywhere joined by their Y slaves.

You people like deceiving yourself sha! huh huh huh
Can the colored part of your statement please explain why:

1.) Aguyi Ironsi and his Ibo brothers where the ones that conducted the FIRST VIOLENT COUP in Nigeria's history? In whose interest is this very bloody coup?

2.) Killed all "TOP" Northern Military officers and TOP Northern Political leaders?

3.) Killed TOP Yoruba Military officers as well

4.) Did the Yorubas too not embrace Western Education as well, why did the Northerners not set to wipe them off as you claimed (if jealousy and inferior education was the reason)?

5.) Do you actually think what Aguyi Ironsi and his gang of blood letters did to the Northerners (Political Genocide), will go unpunished?

6.) Did the Northerners INVADE the South East or just killed-off the Ibo military officers, in the counter-coup that toppled Ironsi? tell me where and when they invaded Onitsha or Enugu or Awka or Aba, before the war.

7.) Why did the Northerners not decide to secede, as the Igbos tried to do, when the Ibos committed their own Political genocide on them?
Why was "Secession" the ONLY OPTION for the Ibos, when the Northerners retaliated?

8.) Why did the Yorubas not follow your secession plan, despite having suffered loss of men from such incessant coups and reprisal coups?

9.) Let us even assume that your family are being massacred as you claimed, does that make the thinking faculty to go kaput such that you dont realize that, using a Yoruba adage "if a child is not empowered enough to ask for what or who caused the death of his father, he will simply get a better beating, if he dared such at the wrong time".

Is this not what the Ibos did .........and is that not the result?

10.) Intelligence and maturity demands that we must protect our lineage and children, at all cost. As a father, that is what l will do to my own household, in times of danger.
What manner of military leader (Ojukwu) leads his own lineage and children into a SUICIDAL WAR, knowing that he cannot win by any stretch of imagination, only for himself to run-away and leave the unfortunate people to their deaths in the millions? why cant he just present himself and surrender, so as to save the life of the innocent but brainless people that were behind him? Is it Ego or Selfishness or both?

Why is it difficult for Ibos to admit that the war was suicidal, that they got served for attempting the first "tribal coup", that they were trounced because they bit more than they can chew by attacking the West and that the West had daring military officers like Adekunle, who made nonsense of their rag-tag army?
To heal, you have to accept the wound and then you wouldn't need to pretend you were never wounded while the wound festers. ibos need to HEAL! lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

I hope this person that was "playing truancy" while you were getting "sound education" has made it clear to you sha? undecided

Cheers.
