The reoccurring excuse the Yorubas have been using to defend the genocide on the Igbo nation during the harrowing years of 1966 to 1970 is anchored on the rhetoric adopted by Awolowo to defend his "Hunger Policy" which led to over 3 million dead non-combatants on the Biafran side. Awo will state that;" in war all is fair".


Awolowo will further state that "in war you don't feed your enemies". For clarification, Biafra did not declare war on Nigeria and Nigerians rather it was the reverse. It was the Federal Govt of Nigeria that saw Biafran secession from the British colonial contraption as an act of war. The coup of Jan 15, which has been erroneously tagged as an Igbo Coup was more than enough reason for Nijeriyans to wage their pent up anger and jealousy on Biafrans living within their midst thus the pogroms that raged across northern Nigerian.

Not satisfied with the blood lust, the Nigerian govt will declare war on the newly declared state of Biafra (fleeing the pogroms) to continue the genocidal agenda under the fog of war.

It is important to note that the human cost of the brutal 3 yr un-civil war to reunite Biafra with Nigeria came with a hefty human cost which is yet to be surpassed since even for African conflict standards. The wars in Liberia, Sierra Leone and the genocide in both Rwanda and Burundi plus the conflicts in the Congo combined have yet to meet up with the body bag count of the Nigerian civil war - a whooping 3 million dead!

Coming back to Awolowo's war rhetoric we see it being panned out today by the same Yorubas who use it as justification as both an avenging response to the coup of Jan 15 and as a quick step towards ending the war. In retrospect, Awo's hunger policy equates to Truman dropping the H-Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

All is not fair in war

The Geneva convention - a guideline on how regular conventional warfare should be conducted had already been in existence since after the great second World War. Obasanjo recently in Abuja, attested to the fact that as a commanding officer of Federal forces he carried in his breast pocket a copy of the Geneva convention. The origins of the Geneva convention were necessitated after the harrowing sufferings and killings that civilians were subjected to at the hands of the Axis forces of Germany and Japan as they swept across Europe and Asia (respectively).

The Nuremberg Trials and that held to convict Japanese war criminals was a response by the allied forces to make a declaration that "All is not fair in war".

It was Winston Churchill that first gave us the word Genocide. A word that masked the unspeakable crime committed by the Nazis.

It was from the barbarity and conviction of the Nazi war criminals that the Geneva convention was born and adopted by the then league of Nations which Nigeria was signatory to as at the time of the civil war.

For Awolowo and his descendants and apologists to still hold on to his war time ideology that "all is fair in war" then it is either they are mistakenly ignorant of the Geneva convention and the Nuremberg Trials or that they are sinisterly evil.

Today, we see the same yorubas threatening another round of genocide on the Biafran people over a Biafran secession.

Why wouldn't they? After all war criminals like Awolowo, Obasanjo, Murtala and Buhari are celebrated today in Nigeria as heroes.

Talk about relative morality and the Yoruba hypocrisy.

What I do know is that Karma is never ever too late to have her pound of flesh.

And so shall their tongue be held in the face of the truth.

Hitler was convinced that he could carry out his final solution on the Jews without reprisals because just a few decades prior the Turks had gotten away with genocide on the Christian Armenians and Greeks in their midst.

Nigeria still thinks they can get away with another genocidal war.

We are not waiting for the world to condemn another round of genocide rather we will fight to stop you from waging another genocide.

with due respect i dont know how old you are and how many books on the war you have read and how far you have travelled around Nigeria.
but leaving the above i truly want you to understand that the past is lost forever you cant bring it back but can learn from it to project the future.

yes! Awo made the above statement but it is not enough to label all yorubas as being guilty.
forgiveness is a mark of greatness

As long as Yorubas still echo Awo's war time rhetrioc and defend it as a necessary evil then it will never be forgotten.


There must be a Nuremberg for all your war criminals or you will suffer similar fate as decreed by Karma.

It was fair to bomb civilians in Lagos as done by Biafra airforce abi?

Which bomb?

You don start another lie.

Your father probably heard a thunderstorm and was hiding under his creaky bed.

Yoruba will not suffer anything, if not because of Awo quick intervention, Nigeria will not be united as it is today. Though, i am not oppose igbo secession because they have there own right.

then why go to war?

I hear you very well.

Show me any credible source that Biafran Airforce took off from the heart of Biafra to bomb Lagos that was located 700KM away as the crow flies or Kano that was even much further.

Did the BIAFRANS have any bombers?

So if you don't forget the attrocities what else can you do? Dance around once in a year to celebrate Biafra or sit at home or establish a faceless radio station to insult other tribes and be drawing maps up and down.

As far as you keep putting your loads on your heads and migrating to other regions to survive nobody will take you serious, whoever feeds you can as well poison you.

The only bombing raid the Biafran airforce did was some where in Makurdi and it targetted a column of troop reinforcement and supplies.

The antiquitted French propeller multi role B26R was a relic from the second world war with not enough range or fire power to be deployed to Kano or Lagos.

Keep lying to save your war criminals

No genocide will happen to anybody, this scare mongering tactis will not work. In any case you never complained during the June 12 crisis and we survived it. The only time you complain is when your chosen candidate is defeated at the polls and we are used to that already.

Eebos always cry.

Everyday every new cry.

They keep shouting yoruba name everywhere.

They dare not to abuse Hausas cus they know Hausas will roast them like sugar.

They can only make mouth on Yorubas because of our peaceful nature.

But one thing is certain, yorubas wise pa's them in every way.

That's why they see yorubas as their obstacle.

They can outsmart every other tribe... But not Afonjas

Let them keep crying, am enjoying it so much.

The biafran airforce had 2 B-25mitchell bombers,2 B-26 invaders bombers,one was piloted by Jan Zumbach, a Polish pilot.A converted DC3 bomber,5 minicoin MFI-9B called biafran babes,one flown by Count Gustaf von Rosen.Go to http://napoleon 130.tripod.com/id307.html. Stop listening to lies and crosscheck whatever lies ur elders have been telling you.GOOGLE is your friend.

yorubas were not interested in the war initially until biafra decided to attack lagos which provoked massive recruitment of yorubas into the army it is awell known fact that yorubas fought on biafran side

Check your history books well, I still read a classified account of the US state dept about the war. A Biafran fighter jet dropped bombs on a Casino in Ebute metta,Lagos. It also dropped bombs in Kano, that was what sparked many Hausa-Fulanis to join the army.

My mother was a young girl then at Ebute metta and she told me,they went to see the dead bodies and skulls after the bombing.
