Igbos can never be compared to cowards and betrayers.

Igbokwe is a mad man.

All over the world,the smartest people act in civilized manners.You call yoruba cowards because they are more rational .You call them betrayers because ojukwu wanted to take lagos another mansland..If you were not cowards you should have fought the nigerian army during the dance.

Joe Yorubakwe keeps asking if Yorubas went to war, did Igbos go to war? Nigeria went to war with Biafrans


Why is it that Joe Yorubakwe does not seem to understand that Igbos and Yorubas are different people? They don't have much in common

As an Igbo man, I don't see what I can learn from a Yoruba man.

Coward you say?
Ojukwu fled from battle and ran out of the country. Sorry, who is the coward.
Fela stood still fighting, and other prominent yorubas, so who is the coward?
You people are not really civilised.. Watch us coming out in style and with sense. You will not notice till we take over, we don't rush in shout, we have strategies

You guys make me laugh. You compare a human rights activist like Fela with a freedom fighter like Ojukwu who fought the military might of Nigeria for 3 years?
Fela who probably never held a gun in his life or heard the sound of mortar and bombs falling?

I think that the Yoruba idea of a brave man is rather low

GodIsBiafran:
lipsrsealed Joe Igbokwe has a point. I actually admire (note I did not say 'like', I 'admire' them) Yorubas. They are very intelligent and strategic. Their culture is far more flexible and resilient than any in the country. And, I see nothing wrong in emulating what is good about them and discarding the rubbish part. I believe if Igbos can unite and be as strategic, we will dominate EVERY SINGLE SECTOR in this country. This is our achilles heels. The greater Igbo nation has two major goals to achieve before the actualization of Biafra:

1. Elect an Igbo President in 2023

2. Work with the greater South to Restructure Nigeria.

After this, the actualization of Biafra will be a walk in the park.

NB: I have also noticed that some Igbo parents teach their children from an early age to despise Yorubas. This is a counter-productive strategy because either we like it or not, we need each other in this complex Nigerian environment. I thank God my parents did not teach me hate. I am 100 % Biafran but I do not believe HATE is a requirement to be a Biafran or to achieve Biafra. Biafra when it is realized will be the shinning light on the hill. And hate will not take us there. Only strategic thinking and planning; and making deals with people we disagree with will take us there.

Nnamdi Kanu did a lot of damage by messing up the psyche of an average Igbo man with his divisive & hate speech. Pursuing Biafra is equal to chasing shadows coz the Igbo nation is already a house divided against itself, so who's gonna do the job of unifying you people.

Igbos are typically known to always ride on emotions & they hardly look before they leap, that's why they often become victims of error & are always at a disadvantage in the long run.

The same orientation that Mr. Igbokwe is trying to rectify is what most Igbo guys here are shamelessly showcasing, denying him & calling him a mad man.

Sad. cool

TeejayMaya:
Joe Igbokwe says it raw!

"Did the Yoruba go to war when June 12 1993 Presidential Election won by their illustrious son Chief MKO Abiola was annulled on June 23rd 1993 on a sheet of paper by IBB?

Did Yoruba go to war when Abiola’s wife Alhaja Kudirat Abiola was murdered in Lagos in the morning of Jun 4 1996?

Did Yoruba go to war when the winner of that historic election was poisoned on July 7 1998?

Did Yoruba go to war when those who killed Abiola imposed Obasanjo on them as President in 1999?

Did Yoruba accept Chief Ernest Shonekan when IBB made him to head the interim government in 1993? Yoruba rejected OBJ and Shonekan because this unique race has never been slaves to public office and yet they have remained number one in Nigeria in almost everything. This is wisdom and strategic thinking at work.

Those of us who have lived in Yoruba land for years should not only learn how to wear Aso Ebi, eat Ewedu soup or dance Owambe, music.

We must have also learned other unique things from them like sharing property to both male and female children, religious tolerance, ethnic tolerance, transferring legacies from generation to generation. Do you know that APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s wife is a Christian? Do you know that former Governor Fashola’s wife is a Christian? We can learn a lot from Yoruba. Yoruba too can learn from Igbo in areas of thinking home, business enterprise, self-help, apprenticeship, etc.

A Yoruba woman, a Pastor Mrs. Eunice Olawale Elisha of the Redeemed Christian Church of God old NEPA Road Phase 4 Kubwa, Abuja was killed by unknown persons on Saturday morning of July 9, 2016, while preaching the gospel around 5.30am. I have followed the reactions on the internety and Yoruba do not behave like the Igbo. They have been speaking but not preaching hate. They have called for the culprits to be fished out, prosecuted and punished. If Mrs. Eunice Elisha had been an Igbo hell would have been let loose. There would have been abuses and abuses. But Yoruba are not Igbo. This is civilization. This is strategic thinking. I hope our people can learn from this. Civility is not a sign of weakness. He who fights and run away lives to fight another day.

When GEJ marginalized Yoruba in his cabinet for five years despite been the most vocal in an effort to make him president, Yorubas didn't threaten anybody, they didn't abuse anybody, they simply fought in a peaceful & civilized way to effect a change in 2015 using their PVC. Today the most active VP since the independence & most likely, the next president of Nigeria is Yoruba. Fashola heads 3 ministries & referred to as prime minister in some parlance, Kemi Adeosun heads finance, Fayemi heads mines etc. That's how to fight for relevance in multi faceted country like Nigeria & not taking up arm against everybody.

To have ears is not to listen, to listen is not to hear, to hear is not to understand, to understand is not to put to practice. I know that writing this may not get me many friends among the Igbo, but it always gets me the right ones"

TEYA:

Seriously! Igbos are hardworking, determined and rich. But how can a people expect to make progress when they don't have a single rallying point. They do not have a single elder among them whom they respect. Hausas have Buhari, Kwankwaso, Atiku etc Yorubas have Obasanjo, Tinubu etc. Who do the igbos respect? No one expect Nnamdi Kanu who is clearly leading them nowhere. These guys do not have anyone in government that they respect who can negotiate for them.
Stop asking a foolish question...

There is nothing the Igbos do that will not elicit a negative reaction from you people.

If they queue behind their leaders, you brand them clannish and tribalistic.

If they adopt independent-mindedness, you accuse them of being united.

May I tell you that we don't care how you people see us any longer.

The Igbos insist on being given their inalienable right as one of the major stakeholders in the Nigerian project... That shouldn't be too much to ask.

Trying to make it look as you are doing them a favour is what an average Igboman finds repugnant.

You were asking for Igbo leaders... May I tell you there are so many of them only you choose to see what you want to see.

The likes of Ike Ekweremadu and Enyinnaya Abaribe are sons of the Igbo nation who command respect throughout the whole of Igboland.

So in all I understand here, it should be if any Igbo person is killed that we should not talk and if we feel cheated in the Country also that we should not talk rather we should be civilized. OK... Joe, you see your life. Igbos after the war has been looking for peace and equal rights in Nigeria or break up. An average Igbo man is not intimidated by anything, I mean literally by anything. Someone said that the Yorubas have the Jagaban, the Hausas have Buhari but Igbos have no one. well, I reply them that no man born on earth can rule the entire igbo land without being questioned. That's democracy!!! you talk about Obasanjo like he's a saint to the Igbos. Obasanjo dealt with the Igbos more than his people though. what do you people want from Igbos sef. Do you know how many Igbo business men that has been killed in the North. have we gone to war?? Anyone will just wake up, insults the Igbos, threaten them with killings, Call them many names, fight them in all angles of Nigeria and you expect them to cool and relax??

Calm down.

Dont be ridiculous!

Who is Nnamdi January in the scheme of things in Igboland?

You guys rarely leave your neck of woods and as such are grievously ignorant of happenings outside the Southwest..

Nnamdi Kanu merely gave vent/outlet to what Igbos feel about Nigeria. A country run to deliberately stifle Igbo interest and well-being.

Unless and until the lopsidedness of the Nigeria state is balanced, more Nnamdi Kanus will emerge in the nearest future.

How do you expect cowards to react. Imagine after the killings of their leaders, they still remain quiet about everything, and the young old man is busy celebrating cowardice. After the North succeeded in killing their kinsman, MKO, and 20yrs after they pacified the dead man with the highest national award (GCON), and his foolish people are celebrating.
