Often times I wonder why IPOBs and so called Biafrans talk about the civil war and quickly link it with genocide. I wonder too why half of a yellow sun movie adopted from the book of same name will try to portray the Nigerian government in bad light without actually narrating the whole event as it occurs. It is a shame too that history is no longer taught in schools like in the old past and many supposedly educated youths are naive.

What actually happened before the civil war?

There was a Igbo Coup.. The first coup d'etat in Nigeria. Almost all of the coupists were of Igbo origin. Not a single Igbo blood was shed. Lots of Northerners and Yorubas lost their lives. Worst still, there was jubilation amongst the Igbos. Songs were made to mock the dead. Hilarious pictures mocking the dead was circulated by the Igbos. No Igbo leader or group came out to condemn the coup. An Igbo man by the name Aguyi Ironsi became the head of state. His government shielded and refused to punish the Igbo coupists which was all the majority of the northerners and the Yorubas wanted. Igbos in the north were publicly in support of the coup even though northerners were in mourning. The deaths of the northerners and the Yorubas were uncalled for and an unprovoked attack. These are what eventually led to the civil war. This is what the IPOB and Biafran agitators don't mention.

The first coup led to a counter coup where many Igbo and a few Yorubas lost their lives. The northerners took over and in retaliation of their support for the first coup, northerners started killing them. They fled to the east in droves. Ojukwu declared Biafra.
You yourbas can be irritatingly disgusting when commenting on the events that led to the civil war.

Which history book did you read?the one written by Awo or Adekunle or by FFK?

Am sure if the present agitation for biafra leads to another civil war, when telling the story to your children, you will not tell them jihadist buhari murdered innocent and armless biafrans in their prayer ground in Aba, you will not tell them biafrans have a right to self determination,you wont tell them that the present Nigerian structure is not working, you wont tell them that the yorubas are not benefiting from nigeria, neither will you tell them that biafrans have been marginalised after the first civil war.

Am even sure you wont tell them that your generation of yorubas dont believe they can survive without oil from the niger delta and royalties from the igbo businessmen and that your generation of yoruba have become very lazy to the extent that the igbos your leaders stole from are back and ahead of you in Education,technology,entertainment,sports,entrepreneurship and are more honourable.

Am sure you will sell the lies of most sophisticated,civilised and educated even when in your children's times, your towns and villages will still be competing for mud houses and rustic roofs....


As it was in the time of Awo,so shall itl continue to be in your children's times because you pass the same lies from generation to generations

It is already not well with you and your family and it will definitely never be well with you and your generations unborn from the youngest Biafra boy to the oldest Biafra man.

You Biafra are going nowhere, we shall never ever let you be free. You shall be our slaves forever even after the visit of Jesus, you Biafrauds shall be our slaves in Heaven.
Who are the slaves

The empire that was defeated by a woman from dahomey

The one rule by the powerful Oba of benin

The one conquer and rule by the fulani slave master in ilorin

The one politically ruled by the fulani political hegemony

The one economically and politically conquered by the igbo in lagos....the economy of lagos is in the hands of the igbos and they control parts of lagos politically and your silly ass cant do anything about it....very soon they will take over lagos completely in the name of One naijeria..



So who is the slave?

How won't America classify such atrocities and declassify it about 4 decades later?
America committed a genocide by killing VIRTUALLY ALL THE RED INDIANS who once occupied America; The Mohicans, Delaware's etc. They also once committed genocide on Vietnam. Most human govt ALWAYS like "removing anyone on their paths" and the cases of various Civil Wars in various countries will tell you basically that both divides of agitating govt always tow the paths of genocide or its potential (or should I say democide?)
Let me give you an example, during the Nigerian Civil War, Biafra knew to win Nigeria it must seize Lagos. The only way to do that is to march on Lagos. The people of Ore and Ijebu did not want such, hence they attempted to deny them the Right of Passage( anyway, its Ore and Ijebu land of course). Biafran soldiers became angry, wanted to force their ways and in the process of defense by Ore and Ijebu natives, they massacred some of them (well, we could term that a genocide). This drew the erstwhile Yoruba tribe into the battle which remains the critical point in the Civil War.
Were Ore and Ijebu not right in refusing advancing rebels right of passage? Why massacre them because you have more military might? Was the reprisal not too cruel? Should Biafrans have looked on while Federal troops were using Ore has a launchpad against them? All these questions will always be answered in bias. History (depending on whose side you hear it from) will always play on our emotions and intelligence. The best we can always do is bury the ghost of the Civil War and outgrow our individual and collective pains (my father will always remind me that Biafrans killed 2 of his best friends but I always remind him Federal Troops killed over 2millions of Biafrans). The pains will always be there till the ghosts are buried.
shut up,you yorubas allowed the hausa/fulani to launch attack on the easterners from lagos,when the easterners(biafran)went to revenge you yorubas suddenly woke up...hypocrites

So, your version of the stories are the only true ones righthuh So, the Biafran soldiers were angelic by a million mile right?? They were always kissing all those lands they invaded? They were the good guys of the civil war bah?
So, because of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic bombing in Japan, Japanese were victims of the WW2?
Well, atrocities were committed by both sides but it was obvious the one with the greater might is always the one that can out-commit atrocities of the two. And for those atrocities, I tender an unreserved apology to all who were at the receiving ends but its very mischievous for us to say the other side was just "kissing" those places it liberated.
In fact, the term genocide can only refer to a defenseless people being murdered but for political expediencies it was also tilted to the murder of a mass group of people (either they were weaponless or not. That's what we now call genocide.
The pogrom in the North was the actual genocide while the deaths of the ill-fated Civil War was the burden of war.

But, no Politicians of Igbo blood lost his life right?
There was jubilation after the death of Tafawa Balewa and Ahmadu Bello right?
Yoruba's lost about 2key political actors, Hausa lost 2 key Political actors, Midwest Lost 1 key political actor, tell me the key political actor SE lost?
Unless we are gonna be very mischievous with history are we gonna say after the first coup, the whole landscape didn't favor Igbo's in Nigeria. It was just too obvious then. My dad told me how Igbo's made mouth of them being the "head" in those days and how they veered sumptuously. They bragged and ridiculed Hausa's then.
But, I dare not say all their folly warranted the pogrom and the subsequent loss of the Civil War. Nay, it ain't warrant it a bit! Even though Kaduna Nzeogwu was probably in favor of eliminating other political gladiators for Awolowo( that's what many believed), yet the fact that no political gladiator of SE extraction was killed in the coup and the mere cruelty of Igbo's jubilating and denigrating the death of Ahmadu Bello is something shameful which we must all condemn. Even when your enemy is down, do not celebrate so that GOD will not cease HIS anger on him.
The folly notwithstanding, I totally condemn the cruelty of the Hausa/Fulani's in the pogrom and all the needless debacle that follows it.

Neither will you tell your children that you suddenly found an Eldorado's in Biafra after the defeat of GEJ. Nor will you tell them how you incited hate towards the Yoruba's, or the call for the burning of the zoo by your foolish NK. You will not tell them that IPOB had demonstrations for months and caused untold hardships on the express ways or that you used a pirate radio transmitter to incite war and hate after GEJ's elections on one of Nigeria's wireless network. Will you tell your kids how you all wished Nigeria evil and you ended reaping the evil? Or you will just tell them you were all angels, well mannered (despite all those slanders) and that Nigeria just "suddenly" woke up to kill you all?
I hope you know that every effect have a cause and that you won't all have an evil effect caused by demonic causes you are praying on Nigeria (especially those who don't support your foolish agitation).

Google is begging you to stop these yoruba lies and save yoruba filthy reputation on the internet. Banjo was chosen by Ojukwu because he was yoruba and wanted the yorubas to welcome him and chase away the hausas who were using yorubaland to launch attack at Biafr.aland. yorubaland was really under occupation by the hausas, that may not be our business in Biaf.ra but using yorubaland as command and control center in the anti-Biafra attacks made yorubaland an enemy territory.

Banjo sat with Ojukwu and it was planned that Banjo a yoruba goes in as he will not be seen as an enemy since Awo claimed they have didn't much yorubas in the army (again, not Biafra's problem). Banjo and ifeajuna got to ore without much ado, removing the Biafra insignia on their uniforms in order not be seen as an occupation force.

Banjo, ifeajuna made a pact with Awo and Gowon that Ojukwu must be eliminated and they will be granted amnesty, the oil was more important. They retreated back to Biafra to kill Ojukwu and met karma waiting for them. Stop reading junks if you won't read from Igbo authors at least from international journalist and writters like forsyth and Waugh. yoruba revisionist! evil people!
So, the one you just spewed there was not junks right? Who wrote that version of history? History will forever be biased.
Banjo was not chosen by Ojukwu to lead armies into Yorubaland as a one-off thingy. Banjo was always with Ojukwu immediately the Civil War was started. And for the records, Banjo didn't join Ojukwu because Ojukwu has any special love for the Yoruba's, Banjo was a soldier of fortune who knew he had no base again in the Nigerian military hence his decamping to Biafra side. And neither did Ojukwu took him in because he loves the Yoruba's but because Banjo was a capable soldier of fortune. To know the major grouse of the Civil War, you rightly said Banjo was much interested in the Oil ditto Ojukwu. Had Ojukwu boned the Oil, till date Gowon would have let Biafra be. The Queen alerted Gowon not to let them go away with the oil and that was the reason of the war. Had Ojukwu closed his eyes from that Oil, Biafra would have stand. And even again, without the oil and doing the right stuffs, Biafra can stand.
Let's not always skew history to favor us.

You all just skewed history to claim victimhood as if you were saints. In all these begging posts I've seen from you, you make it sound as if Igbo's were the angels of the whole story and that is even far worst a damned lie than any Yoruba's can conjecture.
If Yoruba's are lies as some of you folks convinced yourselves to be, then Igbo's are more than liars. For in all accounts, Yoruba's have tacitly and openly admit the highhandedness of the side it supported in the ill-fated Civil War but you guys always painted that you were just laffing around when suddenly they hates you and began to kill you. For a day, you ain't own up to the foolery your forbears played by dancing on the grave of Ahmadu Bello.
Even in present day, you folks have refused to call your IPOB to order on their wild-goose chase but cries genocide on the acts of the state against them. While I totally condemn the acts of the military in that video, I do not in a bit either support the IPOD guys. They are overstepping their boundaries and anyone that attempts to mess with the edge of a sharp knife will have a deep cut to contend with.

Brig. General Murtala Muhammad (Former Head of State of Nigeria)

A United States declassified memo of August 18, 1975 showed that late Head of State, Brig. General Murtala Muhammad committed genocide against the Igbo during the Biafra Civil War.
The memo from John E. Reinhardt to the U.S. Secretary of State titled: Nigeria After the Coup of July 28, said; This memorandum is presented in response to your request of August 14. It is concerned with the nature of the new government, its prospects, and continuing of American interests.”

The memo declassified on May 4, 2006 with ref number PA/HO Department of State, E.O. 12958, as amended, contradicts the official position of the Nigerian government which exonerated Muhammad from being involved in the coup that sacked General Yakubu Gowon from power, as well as denying the genocide perpetrated by the Nigerian Army under the late Head of State’s command during the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War.

On the new leadership, Reinhardt wrote: “The leader of the coup against General Yakubu Gowon is an erratic, vainglorious, impetuous, corrupt, vindictive, intelligent, articulate, daring Hausa.

“Brigadier Murtala Muhammad was a prime force in the Nigerian coup of July 1966, which brought Gowon to power, and is one of the two principal plotters against Gowon for the past two years. He commanded a division during the Nigerian civil war , was involved in the only documented cases of genocide, won one important battle, and thereafter coasted for upwards of two years until Gowon finally removed him from command and placed him in charge of Army signals. A position he held until last month, though he combined his military role with the civilian position of Commissioner (Minister) of Communications from July, 1973 until the coup.”

The memo further stated that: “Muhammad inherits from Gowon vast petroleum resources (potentially 3-3.5 million BPD, based on known reserves), considerable but neglected agricultural wealth, tremendous but untapped natural gas reserves, other minerals (coal, tin, columbite, uranium), by African standards an excellently trained civil service, and the dubious asset of eighty million people.”

President Muhammadu Buhari on the 40th memorial lecture of the late Head of State said, Mohammed was on his way to putting Nigeria back to the path of order and discipline before his assassination in a military coup on February 13, 1976. Buhari said Mohammed showed “genuine interest and concern for up-and-coming officers like myself,” and “described him as a great personality who made huge sacrifice for the country.”

http://www.thewhistler.ng/story/u-s-declassified-memo-accuses-murtala-muhammad-of-genocide
now it makes sense why Buhari will try to make such a person a National Hero

Buhari is an unrepentant murderer and terrorist

No boss, GEJ didn't just ignored them, he actually shared money with them and they kept quiet. And Bubu said he ain't get money to share like dt. And also, the fear that Bubu wanna Islamize Nigeria drew the guy a lot of friends and fans not necessarily because he's smart but because "my enemies enemy is my friend"-esque syndrome most of you guys were running on coupled with Bubu's ill-conceived statement of 5%(which was very unpresidential of him). But, is Bubu Nigeria? Are we gonna cut off the nose to spite our face? Those are the salient questions we must all answer.
I am not even against the Biafra stuff, but the timing is questionable and and the support biased (even though in error). If Biafra agitation can be sustained for 8years from now, I might take it as the peoples wishes but for now, its obviously too mischievous to agree with.

Mention the Igbo political actor that was killed?
A popular figure not a soldier like Unegbe?
You all just skewed history to claim victimhood as if you were saints. In all these begging posts I've seen from you, you make it sound as if Igbo's were the angels of the whole story and that is even far worst a damned lie than any Yoruba's can conjecture.
If Yoruba's are lies as some of you folks convinced yourselves to be, then Igbo's are more than liars. For in all accounts, Yoruba's have tacitly and openly admit the highhandedness of the side it supported in the ill-fated Civil War but you guys always painted that you were just laffing around when suddenly they hates you and began to kill you. For a day, you ain't own up to the foolery your forbears played by dancing on the grave of Ahmadu Bello.
Even in present day, you folks have refused to call your IPOB to order on their wild-goose chase but cries genocide on the acts of the state against them. While I totally condemn the acts of the military in that video, I do not in a bit either support the IPOD guys. They are overstepping their boundaries and anyone that attempts to mess with the edge of a sharp knife will have a deep cut to contend with.

[b]This is the most morinic piece i've ever read. All the yoruba narratives are either not documented only figments of their imagination while all Eastern narratives are backed up with facts and even confirmed by neutral international writters from the pogrom to the Asaba massacre to the starvation that nigeria wanted ti hide from the world. You know why? Because yoruba lies are always falling packs of card when the breeze of truth blows on it. pray tell, why do all yoruba journalist seemingly ommit the names of Wale, Olafimihan and ganiyu when writting about the war. Why did ignorant yorubas only learn that an Igbo officer who was also the quatermaster-General was murderd in cold blood by wale and ifeajuna as they prosecuted their "Igbo coup"? In the 70s 80s 90s yorubas will beat their chest and say it was '100% Igbo coup' but in today's Info age they changed the narrative to "It looked like Igbo coup". Igbos will keep making the world know how evil you can be.
As for IPOB, what is your business with then? did they include your oshogbo village in their map? I'm an IPOB here in the states. You hate us we hate you a billion times back. Fukkinng stay on your own, you lepers!

you re talking like you know what you re saying? Why not say what you know . Did you see when GEJ shared the money with nnamdi or any of the IpOBians?
Is there any evidence to back up your claims? Stop typing out of ignorance remember, people re reading your comments and you must learn to speaks the truth. Bye

It is already not well with you and your family and it will definitely never be well with you and your generations unborn from the youngest Biafra boy to the oldest Biafra man.

You Biafra are going nowhere, we shall never ever let you be free. You shall be our slaves forever even after the visit of Jesus, you Biafrauds shall be our slaves in Heaven.
Childish talk.

You yourbas can be irritatingly disgusting when commenting on the events that led to the civil war.

Which history book did you read?the one written by Awo or Adekunle or by FFK?

Am sure if the present agitation for biafra leads to another civil war, when telling the story to your children, you will not tell them jihadist buhari murdered innocent and armless biafrans in their prayer ground in Aba, you will not tell them biafrans have a right to self determination,you wont tell them that the present Nigerian structure is not working, you wont tell them that the yorubas are not benefiting from nigeria, neither will you tell them that biafrans have been marginalised after the first civil war.

Am even sure you wont tell them that your generation of yorubas dont believe they can survive without oil from the niger delta and royalties from the igbo businessmen and that your generation of yoruba have become very lazy to the extent that the igbos your leaders stole from are back and ahead of you in Education,technology,entertainment,sports,entrepreneurship and are more honourable.

Am sure you will sell the lies of most sophisticated,civilised and educated even when in your children's times, your towns and villages will still be competing for mud houses and rustic roofs....


As it was in the time of Awo,so shall itl continue to be in your children's times because you pass the same lies from generation to generations
It is unfortunate that you think the Yorubas can't survive without the Niger Delta oil. Unfortunately, the Niger Delta oil don't even belong to you too. You wanna steal it by trying to to pretend that the people of the Niger Delta belongs to your tribe when they don't and never will. The arable lands and the sea ports plus other rich mineral resources the Yorubas have will always make them survive. Without the oil in the 60s,Awolowo introduced free education while Zik couldn't. They all wait for Awolowo to start something so they can copy it. There are wonderful Igbo friends that I have made over years. For their sake, I will refrain from saying some things. The truth will always come out. You guys started Nigeria's problem with that first coup

you are wrong because u don't know what you are saying,please go and make a good research of what led to the first coup and the reason that made no Igboman to be killed during the first coup,please history doesn't go well with sentiment,you are too sentimental.
U could have provided a very good counter argument instead of saying am wrong. Am very much right. You created problems for yourself when you killed people from other ethnic groups and spare yours. That was the origin of your problems. Nigeria won't break. I dare you to break it
