Lol, fasola deported their flat heads, all they do was running to ICC. The same way the beat chest in Akure until they were mercilessly flogged by Azure indegens and since then, we no hear their fiam again in Akure.

I am sorry, I spotted something that I taught wasn't right. Have a nice weekend.

ok from wat i get u dont want the west to stay on its own. Great. One wonders why.

Our leaders u mean that kept quiet are governors feeding fat on nigerias misfortune? Wat do they have to gain in biafra?

The igbos want out because they also want a working country. How so-called progressives like u cant see that the good country we all want can never come as long as the north is still with us beats my imagination.

Do u think its a coincidence that nigeria went on a downward spiral immediately the north won the civil war? That victory authomatically made them the owners of nigeria and we all know they dont have the mental capacity to lead a progressive nation

Lol, I must have struck a nerve. But in case you wish to know, a more befitting street has long been renamed Abakailaki street and everyone has since moved on.

Those flat-heads are chest beaters. If only they spend more time facing their real enemy, maybe they would be enjoying their Biafra. It is not today they have been hating on Yorubas. Even the glutton called Azikwe hated Awolowo. The same ibos refused to vote for MKO Abiola 25 years ago. They would rather lick Northerners' asses. If they declare Biafra today, everyone knows the North , and not Yorubas will be the ones to declare war against them. Yet, they will open threads crying about Yoruba people.
The other problem is their leaders. Obiano said he does not support Biafra and yet they voted him for another term. Look at Catalona and Scotland. They don't want to learn from them. These ibos just dey confused

How Yoruba Muslims Sacked Old Oyo And Will Do Same For All Odua

Ilorin was a small town in the Oyo Empire by the beginning of the 19th century. Afonja, Baale of Ilorin, who also held the title of Are Ona Kakanfo of the Oyo Empire, rebelled against his king, the Alafin of Oyo, in 1817. (There is no space here for the reasons for his rebellion). In order to sustain his rebellion, he was desperate to build a large and powerful army. To that end, he did a number of desperate things.

First, he invited the people of nearby villages to move to Ilorin and turn Ilorin into a large town. Many people so moved, but most refused.

Secondly, he reached out to many prominent friends all over the Oyo country, and invited them to come and live in Ilorin. Some accepted his invitation and came. Among these was a rich trader named Solagberu from Kuwo. Another was a man named Alimi, a Fulani man who had long lived in the Oyo country peddling charms from town to town. Afonja employed Alimi to make charms for him and his army.

Thirdly, Afonja decided to exploit a religious situation that was causing trouble in the country at the time. A Jihad movement had started in Hausaland in the north in 1804, generating wars and stormy Islamic evangelism there. It was started and led by an immigrant people called Fulani. The Fulani immigrants were few among the large Hausa nation, but very many of the Hausa who were already Muslims sided with the Fulani – and thus made it possible for the Fulani to defeat the ancient Hausa kings and make themselves rulers over Hausaland.

Some of the violent Jihadist preachers trickled south into the Oyo country. Everywhere they came, they were causing a lot of commotion by preaching violent and disrespectful sermons against the Oyo kings and chiefs, and against Yoruba culture in general. Yoruba people, with their tradition of religious tolerance, were alarmed; and angry crowds began to attack the preachers. Afonja decided to exploit the situation by issuing a general invitation to the Muslims to flee to him in Ilorin, promising to give them protection there. Thousands of frightened Muslims fled to Ilorin, and Afonja trained many of them for his army. (Afonja himself did not intend to convert to Islam, and he never did).

Fourthly, most rich Oyo families had Hausa, Nupe and Fulani slaves - used mostly in farming, trading, livestock rearing, etc. Most were Muslims.

Afonja decided to exploit this also. He issued a proclamation saying that if any slaves ran away from their owners and came to him in Ilorin, he would give them freedom and protection there. Large numbers of slaves, mostly Hausa, fled to Afonja, and he trained some of them for his army.

Afonja thus had his large town and large army. Most of his army’s commanders and soldiers were Oyo Muslims. A few of the soldiers were Muslim Hausa – all slaves recently set free by Afonja. But many of his Hausa soldiers were unruly. He warned or threatened them repeatedly, but with no result. When he at last decided to discipline them, they mutinied. Afonja was killed in the mutiny - in 1823.

Meanwhile, while Alimi had been making charms for the army, he had become a friend to many of the Oyo commanders who were Muslims, and these hadmade him Imam (Islamic teacher and preacher) for the Muslim community in the army. After Afonja›s death, the same friends gradually made their Imam the ruler of Ilorin. They also created some officers among the Hausa soldiers - for instance, Balogun Gambari. The powerful men doing all these things were Oyo.

That then is how Oyo people made a Fulani man the ruler of Ilorin. When Alimi died, his elder son, Abdulsalam, was elevated to his father’s position by his father›s powerful Oyo Muslim friends. Adulsalam had lived in the Jihad in Hausaland and had only recently come to live with his father in Ilorin. He knew that the Jihad had made the Fulani the rulers of Ilorin - with a Fulani Sultanate based in Sokoto and quasi-independent Fulani Emirs in the separate Hausa kingdoms. So, after he was made ruler of Ilorin, he sent to Hausaland to announce that he had established an Emirate in Ilorin and to ask that his Emirate should be accepted as part of the Fulani Sultanate.

In this way, Ilorin became a Fulani Emirate, ruled by a Fulani family.

Ilorin was, in population, still an Oyo town - probably over 95% Oyo in population. And Ilorin was never conquered or even invaded by any Fulani army. Those influential Oyo men who made Alimi and his son the rulers of Ilorin did so out of fervour for their Islamic faith.

When the news of the happenings in Ilorin spread all over the Oyo country, people were shocked to hear that Ilorin people had made the family of an obscure Fulani charm peddler their rulers. Therefore, people formed armies to go and subdue Ilorin and flush out the Fulani impostors. None of these invasions of Ilorin succeeded. The invading armies were poorly organized, and, moreover, the old Afonja army defending Ilorin was just too powerful. In fact, in the end, the Ilorin people, in order to ensure perfect protection for their fervently Muslim town, decided to go out and conquer most of Yorubaland (all the way to the sea coast), and make all of it a Muslim empire ruled from Ilorin.

Their army marched out in about 1838, conquering town after town towards the south, and causing mammoth streams of refugees. Till today, most Yoruba people still call this Ilorin invasion a Fulani invasion of Yorubaland. But it was not a Fulani invasion at all; it was an attempt by the predominantly Yoruba Muslim people of Ilorin to conquer and Islamize the rest of Yorubaland.

The victorious Ilorin march southwards ended suddenly in 1840. The refugees who had gathered in the Egba village of Ibadan had quickly become a large town. Their army marched out and met the Ilorin army in Oshogbo in 1840, and totally destroyed them, capturing many of their commanders. From then on, the power of Ilorin was more or less over, and Ilorin never dared again to face the Ibadan army in battle.

In the following years, Ibadan became the most powerful state in Yorubaland, and established control over the Oshun valley, Ife, Ijesa, Ekiti, Akoko, Igbomina and parts of Iyagba. Ilorin continued to be ambitious to control some territory in its immediate neighbourhood – in nearby Igbomina and Ibolo (especially Offa); but they feared Ibadan. In 1877, the Ekiti, Ijesa, Igbomina and Akoko revolted against Ibadan’s rule, and the Kiriji War started, keeping all these peoples and Ibadan busy until 1893. Ilorin took advantage of this and established some feeble control over parts of Igbomina and Ibolo.

However, at home in Ilorin itself, a proper Emirate could not develop. The powerful Yoruba war chiefs wanted to re-establish the traditional Yoruba political system whereby the chiefs in a kingdom select their king. The Emirs resisted. By 1895, the chiefs were winning the contest grandly – a situation which forced the Emir Momoh to commit suicide after setting his palace on fire. The victorious chiefs then installed Sulaiman as Emir. This was the situation when the forces of the British Royal Niger Company came and conquered Ilorin in 1897.

In the years that followed, it was the British that established Ilorin as a full-fledged emirate, making the Ilorin Emir like the Emirs of Hausaland. The Emir then took advantage of that to establish all sorts of Emirate-type control over Ibolo and northern Igbomina.

In short, Ilorin was never conquered (was never even invaded) by the Fulani. Ilorin is more than 90% Yoruba in population. The Igbomina, Ibolo, and Ekiti of Kwara, because they have hated the imposture of the Ilorin Emirs since the beginning of British rule, tend to be usually cool towards Ilorin. Rather it was the treasonable ambition of Afonja and the Yoruba Muslim converts who handed Ilorin to the Fulanis.

Today, the same group are at the forefront fighting to ensure that all Yoruba land falls to Sokoto.

How Fulani Jihadists Created The Largest City In West Africa

The Fulanis not only conquered and annexed Ilorin for themselves but went as far as sacking the old capital of Oyo empire.

The Yorubas did a tactical retreat from their pillaged capital of Oyo Ile and headed south, fleeing 90 miles to Ibadan - a then small remote town.

The new settlement then doubled as both the capital of the declining Oyo empire which was facing the ravages of an Islamic Jihad by Sokoto and also as a major refugee camp serving to host fleeing Yorubas from across the old Oyo empire.

The Jihadist had conquered the very capital of old Oyo empire and had annexed Ilorin for themselves so it wont be any surprise that smaller Yoruba settlements and towns in the old Oyo empire where being sacked with little resistance.

It is from the fleeing Yoruba population that Ibadan grew from a small town to one of the largest and densely populated areas in Africa.

We can forgive the British in defining Ibadan as a city when they first approached Ibadan but the honest truth is that Ibadan was nothing but a refugee camp.

Only two other local domains where described as ''Cities'' by the British and they relied on the classical definitions drawn from European antiquity.

The term city comes from citadel and it refers to a heavily fortified castle or town with watch towers. Ibadan had no such artificial defense unlike the cities of Kano and Benin.

The British used contemporary 19th century definitions based on population density and relative cosmopolitan makeup of Ibadan to arrive at the description of Ibadan being a city. Kano is famous for its surrounding walls which at some points was described by a British explorer as being up to 40ft thick. Benin was both walled off and had a complex moat encompassing the walls as a first line of defense.

So please lets not call Ibadan a city any more but rather refer to it for what it truly was - a massive refugee camp!https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ojukwu-address.jpg

At least he supported a fellow southerner and an intellectual unlike your bastard Obas and agberoes who were queuing up to suck Abacha's dik in return for some worn out CBN dollar bills.

Or are you not aware that Tinubu was already handpicked to be Abacha's VP?

Afonja, your worst enemy is your very self.

I have never seen a people so full of jealousy, envy and self hate!

selemempe:
wat u are saying doesnt make any sense. The east have actively campaigned for independence. They went to war for it for godsakes. Many ppl died for it. Dont mock the efforts of the dead just to tell ur lie.

All easterners dont live in the west. Maybe about 15% of the over 50 million easterners live in mostly lagos. Besides The entire easterners mustnt be in support of independence anyway. The vast majority have shown they want out.


My question is why is there no single worthwhile independence movement in the sophisticated west?

Bob manuel,chinwetalu agu,pete edochie and other igbo icons were on social media telling ppl to come back home
And another fact u dont know due to ur residing in ogbomoso is that apart from northern soldiers,almost all northerners in the east returned to the north or ran to army barracks in the east

Who be una fellow Southerner? You smoke weed? The same Jonathan that considered Yoruba people as inconsequential? The same ineffectual monkey that tried to relegate Yoruba people? You must think Yorubas are dumb right? You remember South when it only goes your way. Did your shameless pathetic things vote for Abiola - your 'fellow Southerner'? No! You hypocrites voted for Tofa from Kano state! Even Ijaws did not vote for Abiola, and yet you want Yorubas to vote for Jonathan. You must be high on urine. I have never seen a pathetic tribe like ibos.
You just clarified the motive behind Biafra and why you people are filled with so much bitterness right fron 2015.
Listen and listen carefully. Yorubas don't give a shyte about you losers. Only if you realise this. Why should Yorubas envy people that are obsessed with us? Do you know how many threads, compared to Yorubas, ibos have opened about Yorubas in the last one month? Perpetual losers!
I will be voting for Buhari next year. Let us see who ibo flat-heads will vote for - Atiku/Dankwambo. Who is Northerners' slave now? Lols! Losers!

I will be voting for Buhari next year.

Radio biafra started in 2009 and nnamdi kanu became popular in 2014 because of his insults on gej.

Moreso during the national confab, many threads were opened here calling for the break up of nigeria. It led to gej making the famous statement that nigeria's unity will not be negotiated in the confab

Why do u guys lie? I will search for threads about biafra b4 2015 and i will post them here for all to see

U guys lie that igbos dont want to leave nigeria...yet u guys also call us secessionist.
