For crying out loud, after reading the letter, how can you still maintain such an idiotic stance.?

For starters, who asked ojukwu or even Banjo to liberate us from the northerners? So, ojukwu decided in his (ulterior) magnanimity to release banjo from prison (where his fellow ibo officers had placed him on a trumped-up charge) to go and liberate we yorubas from the northerners. Who asked ojukwu for liberation? When did we ask ojukwu for succor? I thought he was seceding with his ibo people from the union his same ibo people pulled us into against wise consul to the contrary? Ojukwu should have just concentrated his effort and meager resources on taking his people out of nigeria first instead of going about "liberating" others (and imposing his will on them) who at no time implicitly or explicitly asked for his help?





So, in essence, we yorubas will only be replacing nigerian army of northern extraction for biafran troops? And you call that liberation? what kind of liberation is that? So, Ojukwu will be the one to tell us when he thinks we are ready to protect ourselves from external threat? Geez! what a bloody insult. We yorubas that have already created a massive and enviable empire and civilisation when ojukwu's forefathers were still roaming around in the jungle in animal hides will now have to rely on him to inform us when HE believes we are able to maintain our sovereignty? What a bloody cheek!! But Ojukwu is not power hungry o!





And who the Bleep is ojukwu to tell us yorubas- a proud race who we can pally with or not? But Ojukwu in your assessment, is not power hungry o?





So, after reading the above condition, you still believe Ojukwu is not power hungry? So, even our obas cannot even fart in their palaces without first getting approval from Ojukwu? And You think yorubas - a proud race with rich culture and history will agree to such a stipulation from ojukwu? Some "liberation", it is!!!






And who is the flippin' govt of RoB? Ojukwu! But Ojukwu is not power hungry o! what a "liberation" (sic).

Let me just stop here as analysing Ojukwu's prerequisite for our unsolicited so-called "liberation" is making me feel sick- need to go and throw up.

Oh before i go and retch, what about the carnage that will have befall our region and the great loss of lives to our young generation? Am certain that Banjo knew (and definitely did not sign his agreement to such a dumb stipulation) that his people will never consent to Ojukwu's megalomania.

At any rate, what is the guarantee that once Ojukwu's objective have been realised, someone from the biafran side wouldn't put a bullet into Banjo? None. And you have the temerity to tell me, ojukwu is not power hungry. My mother didn't raise me a fool and we are definitely not that dumb in yorubaland.

And, don't call me "friend" as am no friend of yours or your type. That's not how i was raised in my neck of the wood to treat someone i consider, a friend.

VillageWinch:
My Yoruba friend tells me "atilo" is a kind of native Yoruba dance. So he was saying something like 'Baba dance' ? Doesn't make any sense...

Your friend was playing with u.
I know enough Yoruba to know this is not true.
I am pretty sure "Baba atilo" means "Baba don't go"

9jaDoc:
Your friend is talking nonsense.
"Baba atilo" means "Atilo's father"
Just as they call Obasanjo "Baba Iyabo"
because his daughter's name is Iyabo.
Get it now?

9jaDoc:
Obasanjo was jailed by Abacha for coup.
As for Gowon, read this:

On July 29, 1975 while Gowon was in Uganda for an Organization of African Unity summit meeting, the army removed him from office.

Gowon was exiled to Great Britain. He was stripped of his rank for allegedly participating in the assassination of his successor, Murtala Mohammed, in 1976. He was pardoned by Shehu Shagari in 1981, and his rank was restored by Ibrahim Babangida in 1987. Having earned a Ph.D. at Warwick University in 1983, he became a professor of political science at the University of Jos in the mid-1980s and attained the status of an elder statesman of Nigerian politics.

Vivere:
Big lie. The Igbo were not allowed to secede and they were not forced out. Instead, there was a police action to keep them within Nigeria and a civil war to stop them from seceding. So why is Awolowo being blamed, when the Igbo were not allowed to secede?

9jaDoc:
I am against secession for personal financial reasons, but do u think it fair that people can't vote on wether they want to stay a part of an organization?

T9ksy:
But the Mid-west neutrality as you tagged it, didn't stop ojukwu invading the region and imposing his own rule on the people.

The bottom-line was that Ojukwu intended bringing the whole of southern nigeria under his rule but Awo- a mere civilian showed him that brain power is mightier than sheer brawn and braggadio.

If in doubt, google " Ojukwu's letter to Banjo" and you will clearly discern ojukwu's intention- he was already salivating at the prospect of dominating yorubaland, something his father's friend tried but was unable to accomplish 16 years, earlier.

WetinConsignMe:
Either way Awo is to be faulted because (unless he was under duress from northern soldiers) there is no way u stretch his words that they mean: "I will throw my full weight behind one Nigeria and actively participate inn the war"

Here is what Americans wrote durring the war:

This is from "America's secret files on Ojukwu"
Note the bolded.

“AG (Action Group) activists and the man in the street are convinced Awolowo made the statement under duress… They say Awolowo’s true position was indicated in the Leaders of Thought resolution in May, which said if any region seceded or forced out, the West would automatically become independent. The activists feel that Awolowo missed the opportunity to bring the present conflict to close by coming to Ibadan and make a Western Declaration of Independence speech supported by Victor Banjo and his National Liberation Army.”

GhanaMustGoo:
Fine.but neither did Awo tell them he'd.be at the fore front of the fight against their secession

WetinConsignMe:
By the way "Biafra" and "Igbo" are not synonymous. There were many non-Igbo tribes in Biafra.

WetinConsignMe:
Bottom line Awo, as a lawyer, put in the word "ALLOWED".

But the media, the public, man on the street, even foreign countries didn't see it. Instead what they heard is this:

If the Eastern Region is allowed by acts of omission or commission to ANNOUNCE secession or ANNOUNCE they are opting out of Nigeria, then Western Region and Lagos must also stay out of the Federation.

WetinConsignMe:
Let's analyse.

Here is what Ojukwu said Awo told him:

"We talked and he was very vehement when he saw our complaints and he said that if the Igbos were forced out by Nigeria that he would take the Yorubas out also. I don’t know what anybody makes of that statement but it is simple. Whether he did or didn’t, it is too late. There is nothing you can do about it."
------------------

Here is what Sam Aluko, who was at the meeting, said about what Awo said:

"Awolowo said, if the East left the federation, the Yoruba would have to leave the federation."
------------------------

Here is what Awo said publicly (we will never know what he told Ojukwu in their private conversations):

2) The Eastern Region must be encouraged to remain part of the Federation

(3). If the Eastern Region is allowed by acts of omission or commission to secede from or opt out of Nigeria, then Western Region and Lagos must also stay out of the Federation.

koladebrainiac:
I don't understand. there are other accounts to this story u guys are bragging about, playing victim upandan. what about Victor Bajo's account and what LET TO AWOLOWO'S REFUSER TO JOIN SECESSION. ANYTHING OF SECESSION ON YORUBA PART IS A SUICIDE FOR US. WE WILL BE THE BATTLEGROUND. COMMON DORDAN BARRACK is IN LAGOS AND NIGERIA CAPITAL' SO IF YORUBA had SECEDED WHO WOULD HAVE FOUGHT FOR AWOLOWO? CAN HE MUSTER ARMY IN THE BARACK? THAT ASIDE THE ACCOUNT WE HEARD WAS THAT AWOLOWO WENT TO SEE OJUKWU TO STAND DOWN NOT TO DISCUSS SECESSION. AND WHAT AWOLOWO SAID WAS THAT IF OJUKWU SHOULD SUCEDE, HE WILL JOIN THE FRAY. BUT YOU GUYS WILL KEEP LYING N THROWING PROPAGANDA UPANDAN.

9jaDoc:
It is beyond obvious that OJUKWU WAS NOT INTERESTED IN RULING THE WEST. HIS CONCERN WAS THE SUCCESS OF HIS OWN TENUOUS SECESSION. If u can't even see that then what's the point of further discussion

(vii) During the period of Biafrans troops’ presence in your territory, all political measures, statements or decrees shall be subject to the approval, in writing by myself or on my authority

You are remote from the West; you have advantages which we do not possess. We cannot rush without rushing to our death at the same time. We are not cowards in the West but we have to move cautiously, because if we do not do that you might not have us alive; you would only have monuments all over the place.

You keep repeating the same incoherent crap. Was any region forced out? Tell us, first.

You are not my brother or friend. I don't thrust you and your ilk. You did not see us as brothers when you and your leaders colluded with the northerners and relegate us to the background. As a consequence of you guys jumping into bed with the sardunna, you were able to forment trouble in our region, marginalise us in our region and take our jobs etc.

You malign our leaders and call us all sort of names just because we refused to roll over and let you ride rough-shod over our land- what you wouldn't dare with the north. That's why those guys have been killing you lot at the slightest opportunity evrn before we got independence.
