Kagawa10: Lol! Just like my Igbekebo friend sees Oyo/Osun people as Tribalistic, slimy useless Muslim folks who are subservient to Arewa dictates. He even claims that they would rather join future Niger delta republic than be with Yorubas, that they have more in common with Niger deltans than with Yorubas . 1 Like |

nkemdi89: Note Identity crisis girl, Awolowo isn't the one behind 20 naira policy. He was just a minister of Finance who executed the policy which was already stamped. Moreover, any Ibo who have got money in the bank were asked to present their bank details and got their money back, e.g Ojukwu..Only the losers who have got no money yet expected awuf from the banks got shamed in the end! 4 Likes |

Kagawa10:Oh my lawd, why are you making me laugh so much? It was on this same NL, that some of their SE people claimed that no battle took place in Ore, because none of the historical accounts of the war written by their own people contained any details about the routing of the Biafran forces at Ore. It took page after page of quoting different sources, to debunk their views. Anytime I remember Ore..... 4 Likes

Nkemdi is not an Igbo from SE or Delta North. He had accepted that. But he is yet to deny his Afonja heritage. I'm sure he is an Afonja with impersonation issues. 1 Like |

pazienza: Well, your acclaimed friend definitely didn't distinguish himself from the Yoruba in general but that Asaba girl often say Ibos are greedy and stupid. Let me add that it always happen whenever she has a poor encounter with her Se brethren.. Let me ask this, Nnemdi89, are you Chidinma? 1 Like |

Kagawa10:You forgot to add that in their mass exodus to flee back to the Southeast just before the war, many of them withdrew all their funds from existing banks in other regions, and took it with them to the East. Only the losers who had no money in the banks to begin with, were the ones left condemning the 20 pounds policy! And their descendants have continued to make the same claims till today.... 3 Likes |

I could still recall Ikechu going banana on you folks and calling you names when some SE folks had problem with his inclusion of Onistha into Anioma state. Lol.. That some Asaba folks agreed to be called Ibos doesn't mean they don't believe their SE brethrens have got some issues. 1 Like |

Banjo was a typical Afonja. Slimy, untrustworthy, betraying and pathetic. Ifeajuna was stupid falling for Afonja trap twice. First he allowed Fajuyi to deceive him into the Jan 1966 coup alongside Nzeogwu, aimed at enthroning the corrupt then convicted criminal called Awolowo. Secondly, he allowed greedy power scheming Afonja like Banjo rope him into another attempted coup at usurping Ojukwu in the East. Ifeajuna has to go down in history as the greatest born mugu. As for Alale. I pitied him, it was his first attempt at such act, probably roped in by the slimy sweet tongued Afonja called Banjo. Handing Banjo the command of the Lagos March was the greatest blunder Ojukwu committed, Banjo did what his people are known for, compromised that mission, betrayed the trust Ojukwu placed on him, and effectively made the Biafra actualization mission, a mission impossible from then henceforth. 3 Likes |

Kagawa10: Haha! Akintola faction of the wild wild west not only denigrated Awolowo, they helped send him to prison by exposing his corrupt practices to Saraduna and Balewa, effectively sending him to jail where he would have rotted and died as was destined, rather than taking his life via otapiapia years later, having committed mass murder. Akintola supporters still exist in Yorubaland, and they are not loyal to Awolowo. She male , Nkemdi is probably one. 2 Likes |

logica: I will reply to this later as my reply will likely be very long. Edit: logica Sorry for the late reply, I was busy. I can't be bothered to type out a long reply right now but to answer your question succinctly, Ademulegun was killed because he was viewed by the coupists to be a supporter of Akintola and a friend to the Sardauna, plus he had rank over them. The latter case applies to Shodeinde, who, although not a very political man, would've stood in their way. In their eyes, he had to be 'neutralised'. If you doubt me, hear it from the horse's mouth. This is what Nzeogwu had to say after the coup: "We had a short list of people who were either undesirable for the future progress of the country or who by their positions at the time had to be sacrificed for peace and stability." I believe that the second reason applies to Ademulegun and especially Shodeinde. The coup plotters already sounded him out to see whether he would agree with their plans or not and he proved to them that he wouldn't. This was why he was assassinated. 1 Like 1 Share |

Adebowale89: I've highlighted these two phrases for you to show you how innate your argument is. How does this: your forefathers don't have one voice give reason to this: massacre numerous of Igbo during your fruitless civil war which made d ojucoward to ran and leave your forefathers with their faith. This just sounds like an incoherent rambling to me . Don't let your hatred of the Igbos be the end of you . 1 Like |

pazienza: Well, Akintola never publicly denigrated Awolowo no matter their squabbles, let alone several generations after. Awolowo was a king and died as one, sleeping like a beauty on his death bed unlike Ojukwu who was foaming in the mouth after taking an Hypo bleach because he was frustrated being a senile man for so long. And aas we've seen and confirmed by Chidinma a.k.a Nkemdi, Osu are quite stupid because only a stupid one as Pazienza would deem Nkemdi as a Yoruba even when she doesn't act as one. Even right from the onset of the thread, she was on the side of the Ibo until a dumb Pazienza classified her as a non-ibo. The same loser would soon start lamenting on why Anioma folks often claim to be not Ibo. Well, keep trying to make them Ibo, lol. What a shameless pathetic loser. 4 Likes |

pazienza: Good afternoon all. My name is Deji Yesufu. I am the author of the article pasted by the opener of the thread. I have read most of the posts here but found this screenshots the only one I can respond to. Unfortunately. I cannot provide an adequate response now but the beauty of my write up was to allow Banjo speak. Therefore in response to these clips, I'll quote Banjo from one of the numerous letters he wrote his wife and then offer a perspective: Banjo: "It is really very interesting to read the French attitude to a lot of things. Those of us who have studied English and lived in the English system tend to accept only what the English think about themselves and about others. All writers have their biases, based on their background, attitude and nationality. There are really no objective writers. The English have a ridiculous habit of pretending that they are the most fair and objective writers in the world. It is just part of their reverse arrogance, just like their much vaunted sense of fair play and their humility. Actually they are just like everybody else." The implications of that statement made years before Frederick wrote his book, for sale, is that the story conjured up on Banjo in that book are lies. Like the many mercenaries employed to fight the Biafran war, Frederick was employed to produce a narrative that will put Ojukwu and his Biafra in the good light. But it is true that anyone can call anyone a liar and so in a few days from now, I shall be producing another story on Banjo that will reflect to all what really happened. It will be published on Nairaland by God's grace. CC: Mynd44. 1 Like |
