I just knew you were going to quote that famous awo's speech to yorubas leaders of thought as your so called agreement with the ibos to secede. Nigeria is basically a tripod and it was you ibos that roped us into this dumb contraption in the first place. it's therefore a no-brainer that once any part especially the ibo leaves, the western region too will follow suit, that does not mean we were going to go on a suicide run like ojukwu envisaged nor do we intend to turn our region into a theatre of war. How we go about our own secession bid does not concern nor involve the ibos. Awo already made this position clear to Ojukwu he visited him prior to the war in enugu.

And btw, ojukwu did not release Awo rather Gowon did else he, Awo would have been re-arrested the moment he stepped foot into "Nigeria". Instead he was escorted to his hometown ikenne in Lt. Col murtala mohammed's car. This is another lie that have been much touted and still been disseminated by you mischievous and poor revisionists.

stinggy:
I feel compelled to enlighten you on some things;

• Zik started the betrayal game leaving Awolowo his fellow southerner to align with the northerners. I wonder why you make noise about it now that Yorubas are doing same.
• There was never meant to be Biafra war if Ifeajuna did not betray his fellow coup plotter. Nzeogwu and Ademoyega played their parts well and killed those marked for killing - Ahmadu Bello, Akintola, Tafa balewa, Okotiebo etc.. Ifeajuna and co failed to capture Ironsi, leaked secrets to Zik allowing him to run off. Even Okpara who was in the country was spared.
I wonder what you call betrayal if this isn't.
• Awolowo never promised Western Nigeria will secede with Biafra. He said if Igbos are forced out of Nigeria, he would have to take Yorubas out too.
• Ladipo market: Did you say it was demolised without prior notice Fear God!
And Ladipo market has to be rebuilt, it's becoming an eyesore. Every reasonable state does it, why the cry? Yaba market was demolished and remodeled, was there any cry?


Yorubas are never your problem, get over this!

Person above me is illiterate

patrick89:
You don't know you're saying, truth are hidden in this country! Ifeajuna is seen as a saboteur in igboland why? if he truly deliberately left se leaders, but in igboland if they call you ifeajuna it means saboteur.
I'm not a fan of Zik, but happened was that, awolowo went to north and promised them prime minister, came to Zik and promised him the same thing. why would he do such a thing? he never knew Zik would call sarduna and he was told that awolowo sent people to him over the same issue. they saw him untrustworthy because of that act and went and aligned.
Awolowo betrayed Ojukwu, because Aburi accord is still there for all to see! you guys are twisting everything in your favour.. can you deny all these facts I enumerated?

kingsolex:
it is with intent plea I write from my heart today on behalf of every Yoruba out there,on behalf of awolowo, on behalf of younger generations I apologize to my igbo brothers, we are sorry for betraying you,we are sorry for starving you, please forgive us and embrace the path of peace..

NB. I know Yoruba is the bridge that holds Nigeria together that's why my Igbo brothers need our support to opt out to Biafra. I assure you of our support hence forth.
let's love each other even in Nigeria or Biafra we are one...

remarkable memories when I was in primary school I had Igbo friends who defended me, loved me they were family and are still family please stop this E..war am Yoruba I love the igbos and I will never stop even if they get Biafra by war or peace... Igbo kwenu

HiGod:
My thunder strike you to death if you are genuinely bred Yoruba man/woman.

If you are truly a Yoruba man, then you are a bastard.

However, to all the Igbos who might certainly masturbate over this gibberish, you are only deluding yourselves.

That op must be on some sort of substance for saying Yorubas betrayed or whatever......

T8ksy:
Of course, the Op is not yoruba but a typical wannabe..........By their fruits/utterances one can clearly discern them.

If he/she talks like a.........walk like a..........sounds like a........reason like a .............THEN undoubtedly he or she is a flattie!

new2020:
Well said. We can separate and still maintain a cordial and bilateral relations. Not those saying if you separate you will lose your properties...very stup8$ d and uncivilized thing to say.

Point of correction OP...it's not only Igbos, other ethnic groups in the so-called SS particularly Old Cross River hold similar view. Some of our parents grew up not knowing their fathers and mothers. And suffered intensely to make a new beginning with the 25 pounds Pa Awolowo gave to them out of pure wickedness. Do Igbos and these other ethnic groups hold pent-up huff for this injustice? Of course! Anger is an appropriate response for things that are done that are evil and cruel. However when those who perpetrated these evil are yet to atone for it, it's doesn't help. I heard one the other day say...What happened has happened let's move on. Move on? Did you know 1/3 of our parents grew up without fathers and mothers? Did you know the incredible hardship they went through while Awolowo was offering their counterpart free education? Did you know that I didn't know my grand parents, including most? As a kid and adolescent, when I hear my yoruba and Hausa friends talk about spending time with their grandparents during the holidays, and couldn't say such? I say these not to make charge but to be very mindful when you arrogantly say "move on" when reparations nor atonement were never made.

I'm not Igbo but a Biafran...there are other ethnic groups who fought along side Biafra that suffered also.

damosthottest:
Can you prove it? your claim is baseless and I'm not surprised because your country always cover the truth....

damosthottest:
I can say you are few Yorubas who are reasonable but I'm sorry to say that your Yoruba brothers are back stabbers by nature. It's difficult to make a pact with them because they are never consistent. They can deny you in matter of seconds.

In this Biafra struggle, we don't need their assistance because you don't know what they will do in the next minute.

For example: in this Nairaland forum that is owned by a Yoruba, I've seen countless of thread in the favour of Igbos and Biafras that were removed but those against Igbos and Biafra were not removed. Therefore Yorubas will not be useful in this struggle, when we get Biafra we can then work with you.

kingsolex:
OK please my Igbo brothers should stop making us feel like enemies.

noah91:
