Benjamin Adekunle

The Black Scorpion.

A real military tactician, talented and gifted soldier and a PATRIOT.


The guy would have become Are ona kakanfo, he bluntly rejected the offer, he was one of the powers who forced IBB to step aside.
Having used firifiri to beat the security at Aso Rock, he went into IBB's bedroom to warn him, that " what IBB is doing " is not what the Nigerian Army fought for.
IBB had to change all the security at Aso Rock, the news had it that, some we're even killed.
He continues to torment IBB so much that, the NEWSWATCH magazine and the NEWS magazine described the fiasco, as IBB'S STRANGE VISITORS.
Okunrin meta, Ekun oko oke, may the Lord rest his soul.

ORIENTATION101:
brain Dead Biafran rat tonguetongue you can as well tell us when fulani-yorubas in Ilorin fought war ?
Kwara state is yoruba land. Emirates rulership has nothing to do with Fulani. It is a Islamic word for monarch, Ilorin is a religious city if they choose to adopt Emir it has nothing to do with any phantom war that exist the in head of you Biafran scums

Thank you my brother.

We need to educate many of the brethren from the East. Ilorin was an outpost town under the Oyo Empire. And when religion came, most folks got converted to Islam. The paganistic practise of human sacrifices, coupled with superstitions, taboos and other practices imposed on people through idolatory made Ilorin people embrace Islam.
Similar to what made a lot of families adopt xtianity which came even after Islam in Yoruba land. Just as in South South as narrated by Asari Dokubo in one of his videos.

Ilorin is a religious Yoruba town and they don't pay tribute to any King, not even to the Sultan of Sokoto nor the Alaafin of Oyo after their decision to revolt.
They are today eulogised as "omo ilu Ilorin, ilu to sun mo Aljanaat, to jinna s'Apaadi."

Please, let folks go for research and find out all these background events and histories.
Thank you for your truthful observation.

So Afonja made up predominately Niggerian, Egyptians, Cameroon? What a way to show una shameless. Always irrelevant but attache by force desperate to try and give yourselves credibility despite always known and documented by all tribes in Niggeria as irrelevant cowards.

Clearly you think you're attempting to make me view your shithole, especially your weak ass Military, as something to fear. That's what even the most hilarious shit about it to me right now. The weaklings. Hilarious!!! I'm going to write an epistle the level of Incompetence, Cowardly and weakling I see your shithole military as especially in regards to Biafran war.

Go and read your history shitholan. Niggeria, despite having multiple allies, multiple weapons, multiple everything than Biafra, Niggeria still had MORE military casualties than Biafra. Biafra had more civilian casualties. Majority of biafra casualties were civilians while Niggeria was military. Meaning Niggeria military was the biggest example of the weakest, cowardly military in history.

Like the cowards una are, when getting your asses handed to una, rather than stand man to man with soliders with weapons as you, you pathetically, pitifully, and shamelessly ran after unarmed civilians to display una poor excuse of strength. Most Nations would be embarrassed to actually brag about the biggest display of COWARDNESS in history But definitely not the current title holding Miserable nation of the world. Then again, what do one expect from the bottom of the barrel nation. Hell what do expect especially from the coward demons whose only act of some form of bravery is attache by force and self credit work of others. grin

No wonder una still getting your asses handed to una daily by rag tag insurgent with limited weaponry in comparison to a whole nation military. BH you struggling to defeat, ND militants you literally had to beg to stop making una their lunch. No insurgent with weapons have una successfully defeated in history of that shithole by yourselves. Currently, the only score you have is IPOB (unarmed), Shiites (unarmed). Hilariously even fucking Biafra took una three years to defeat despite being less prepared, less trained, less allies, less military personnel, less everything. Funny despite getting assistance from multiple Nations, the only una were even able to defeat is by starving their civilians. You resulted to that policy cause your military had absolutely no clue on how to defeat Biafra soliders despite all the assistance given to una. Hilariously enough on that, una were too incompetent to even do it yourself. Other nations were who even executed the plan for you. Why? Cause your shithole did not have the intellect nor the proper equipment to execute the plan. Egypt shooting down airplanes with medical and agriculture supplies and Cameroon blockading every assess to Biafra shipping supply was the only thing that helped una win a war against a group less prepared than una. PATHETIC!!!! That's why Boko Haram is making una their bitch since they came into and your government shamelessly running all over the world begging for help and Pathetically getting played mugu by the world as they sell una outdated weaponry for extraordinary amount of money and like Bunches of idiots una happily accept. More example of incompetence from the bottom of the barrel shithole. Laughable

Yes Biafra lost civilians on the hands of Niggeria most but when I look at how that occurred, to me is equivalent to a suicide bomber that ran into a market place and set it off aka COWARDS hence, I find your attempt laughable at most. The only thing una are good at is defeating unarmed civilians....FACT

Now as I said earlier, instead of wailing all over my mentions with tear filled jaga jaga, go wail and cry to Alabi-isama, one of your commanders. No be my fault him exposed una yansh especially the Afonjas. Go wail to him or better yet, cry me a river!

Lol, your reply sound too incoherent for me to make sense of it to give you a dignifying reply.

War is a situation where maximum force is used against the opponent, war is not a place where you give biscuit and Pepsi to your opponent. In war you crush the enemy with every tactics you can get, whether by alliance or by tactical approach and that’s what the Nigerian army did.

There are lot of foreign mercenaries that supported Biafra and I have supported that fact with reference on the third page of this thread. Ojukwu was like Nnamdi Kanu then, he started the war through propaganda and he was all around the place granting interviews to international news channel lying that he will crush the federal government and get Biafra in small time.

I know the Nigerian army did wrong coz they crushed you guys in your millions, but seeing the current generation of Igbos and how they behave made me understood that what the Nigerian army did back then has some justification. You guys chestbeat a lot and claim superiority with propaganda while in reality you are NOTHING.

If the war had continued without Ojukwu surrendering the Igbos would have been exterminated coz the war is already genocide coz you stood no chance.

Your grandfathers will tell you about the heroic display of the mighty Yorubas within the federal army and the tactical approach Awolowo employed to make the war end so soon, or else the Hausa army is bent on killing you all to the last man.

Hairy chest beaters that surrendered without any option. Your territory got reduced to just 5 small states and economic power given to the south south. You’ve been slaves in nigeria since then coz you are always asking for liberation from the union. Even Ijaw learnt that when Dokubo termed a whole Igbo tribe his Slave.s.

Why did Yorubas fight the war?

Why did Awolowo join the north to fight against Biafra instead of fighting for the freedom of Yorubas from the geographical expression called Nigeria?

Why didn't Awolowo - and Yoruba nation - allow the Igbos and the northerners to settle their political enmity?

Is the Yoruba nation better off today in post-Biafra Nigeria than they would have been in post-Biafra Oduduwa Republic?

Well let me reply your question based on my own subjective reasoning.

1. Yoruba joined the war when the Biafra military advanced to Ore and had their eyes on the takeover of Lagos, so the Yorubas gotta defend our territory.

2. Well as at that time, the Yoruba founding fathers thought that Nigeria would have been good staying as one coz things are not bad like this. Remeber pre war, Awolowo built the first stadium, first TV station, first skyscraper, free education and so on. So Yoruba do not have much incentive or reason to breakout of Nigeria.

3. Well the question depends. Although I will say based on my own subjective reasoning, the Yoruba nation would have been better if we have our own separate Oduduwa country. So you may be right by your theory in the third question.

But I want you to understand that each tribe has their motive and way of engaging situations, the Yorubas believe in strategic analysis of situation and always exhibit some form of restraints to situation before reaching a decision. Whether Oduduwa republic will come will depend on a lot of consensus among the Yoruba people and before then we will strive to succeed in the union called Nigeria.

I hope you get your Biafra soon tho coz a whole people cannot be held against their will in a union. Just that you’re using an ineffective means to advocate for the Biafran succession. Time will tell tho

Thats not true. I want to give you a second chance to educate yourself and acknowledgehistorical facts. To help you the first shot was fired by Federal Force on July 6, 1967 in the then Ogoja province.

Was Awolowo a civilian or part of the Gowon's administration?

Tactical approach? Is that what they call COWARDNESS now? There's absolutely NOTHING tactical about going after unarmed people that have absolutely no way to defend against themselves against Armed soliders. A tactical approach is when you discover a way to unarm soliders. That's tactical approach. Cowardly is when you discover your opponent that is armed opponent is knocking the shot out of you thus, you result to going after their unarmed civilians to display strength. That is without any ounce of doubt the definition of COWARDNESS no matter how much you attempt to spin it. You are one of the WEAKEST military in the entire world. That is the only "tactical approach" you utilize whenever you are faced with armed opponent against you.


There are lot of foreign mercenaries that supported Biafra and I have supported that fact with reference on the third page of this thread. Ojukwu was like Nnamdi Kanu then, he started the war through propaganda and he was all around the place granting interviews to international news channel lying that he will crush the federal government and get Biafra in small time.
grin clearly your idiotic ass have not read your own history. Biafra had insignificant supporters in comparison to Niggeria. Infact out of allies Biafra had, France was the only that contributed even 3% of what British, Egyptians, etc gave Niggeria. You were provided soliders, weapons, airplanes among other shits to subdue Biafra. Despite ALL of that it took una three fucking years to defeat a nation that was brand new with very limited amount of anything. Shit the foreigners had to come in to help you defeat them due to your incompetence on how to do so. Ojukwu was absolutely correct in his statement due to fact he was thinking on the line of a solider. Unfortunately for him, he mission the level of weakness the Niggerians will descend to when leveled. If you read your history you'll know Biafra had less military casualties than Niggeria. They murdererd more of your soliders then you did there's. Ironically, they did such with very limited amount of weaponry. Infact, it was documented that Biafra actually depended on Niggeria for arms. They literally went into battle with half of their platoons without weapons or sharing weapons and pick up the guns of dead Niggerian soliders weapons to fight yet, they had less military casualties than you. I repeat that it is display the weakness of your military. Even your own commanders that fight and directed the war spoke on how difficult it was for them to defeat Biafran soliders. The mistake of ojukwu is he assumed the war will be fought solider to solider, not the soliders running away from soliders to attack civilians. That was his mistake.

Typical of Afonja to attempt to rewrite history. Very typical of demons of hell. Nnamdi Kanu have repeatedly identified his group as UNARMED even before your Pyton dance (another display of COWARDNESS). Heck, the only time he spoke on getting armed is when he was USA encouraging Igbos in USA to send weapons back home in preparation for when Biafra exit and Niggeria invades it as it did before. Not once did he report IPOB will result to militants to get Biafra. He always stated that the Zoo will fall without him doing anything. Ironically, that's exactly wtf is occurring. Everything he predicted will happen to your shithole is exactly what's occurring. Your shithole is currently a nation of choas and misery. Death appears to be an everyday thing for una that it has become normalized. Your more divided then una ever been before and more are talking about separation. Your indeed falling and it's occurring without him lifting a finger as he predicted.


I know the Nigerian army did wrong coz they crushed you guys in your millions, but seeing the current generation of Igbos and how they behave made me understood that what the Nigerian army did back then has some justification. You guys chestbeat a lot and claim superiority with propaganda while in reality you are NOTHING.
I repeat you know absolutely NOTHING about your history. Majority of Biafran died during the starvation policy...A task actually carried out for una by Foreigners due to your incompetence. The death toll done in the hands of soliders wasn't even up to a 100,000 despite you intentionally avoided military areas to attack civilian tresshold. Your shithole resulted to the starvation policy because you people were actually too incompetent to figure out how to defeat Biafran soliders militarily. You were the weakest and the most useless military in history of the world.


If the war had continued without Ojukwu surrendering the Igbos would have been exterminated coz the war is already genocide coz you stood no chance.
This one was correct. If they didn't give up, the Cameroon would have continued to blockade their shipments and the Egyptians would have continue shooting down any plane within their airways. Biafra lost because of those two. Without those two, Niggeria would have still be running around attacking civilians at home while still trying to figure out how to implement the stylishly cowardly style Niggeria version of "tactical approach". That was Ojukwu mistake, he neglected to support the aid of the two who had the power to play a role in the war.

Chest beat? This coming from the loud mouths that people, including their northern masters, mock, insult and laugh at whenever the content of war is brought up by them. You people chest beat more than anybody and each, your laughed at by everybody including the North. Hell let's compare. An Unarmed ipob and Nnamdi Kanu had the entire government shaking to the point they sent armed grade soliders with war tanks to stop them. Adekunle grandson or whatever that poverty ridden goats name is have been throwing hot water for years now and how many people pay attention to him? NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON except Afonja. I recalled when Fulani invaded and kidnapped one prominent person within your territory and your people were screeching about war? NO BODY, not even your masters in the North cared. Currently, your Afinfere or whatever una call them have been blowing hot air and a Northerner actually came out to state una will be the first to run when a war breaks out. Not even the fucking North takes una seriously when you chest beat; Ironically, they are your only ally in that shithole.


Your grandfathers will tell you about the heroic display of the mighty Yorubas within the federal army and the tactical approach Awolowo employed to make the war end so soon, or else the Hausa army is bent on killing you all to the last man.
grin grin grin I actually just rolled on the fall laughing at the comment "heroic display of the almighty Yoruba". Oh you mean repeatedly running away while getting shit in the ass. Such heroism grin grin. Fucking joke. Typical of Afonja' to Pathetically and pitifully attempt to take credit of something they made limited contribution to. Niggeria military was predominately dominated by Middle belters. This is without a doubt a FACT. They were the ones that did majority of the fight. The only times I read of Yoruba commanders quote on quote "heroism" always riddle with una instructing soliders to attack unarmed civilians more than soliders. Even Awolowo policy is A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF IT. Where the Bleep una think your nickname as cowards came from? Attacking Unarmed civilians do not make you strong, it makes you extremely weak. You are known as weak cowards by the entire nation for a reason. Go and find out why instead of this laughable joke dropped here.


Hairy chest beaters that surrendered without any option. Your territory got reduced to just 5 small states and economic power given to the south south. You’ve been slaves in nigeria since then coz you are always asking for liberation from the union. Even Ijaw learnt that when Dokubo termed a whole Igbo tribe his Slave.s.

See this fucking buff00n. I'm not even a SE Igbo. I'm from Delta State so the feel can kind of stupidity did you just even write. Why are you Afonja so fucking idiotic seriously. Learn your geography una refuse but proudly display to us your level of incompetence and the laughable joke of your free education. I'm Igbo from Delta State. Having my ancestry land in SS does that mean it's controlled by non Igbos and somehow that makes us non Igbos? I mean how fucking braindead are you. Even Delta State is controlled by an Anioma and River State have continuously been controlled by Igbo speakers. Awolowo bleeped una up when he gave you people free education. He created demons of illiterates.

Unfortunately, not one single Igbo territory outside of SE is ran by non Igbos unlike you Afonja were your territory is currently controlled by Fulanis. You've been a slave of North even before Niggeria became a country. A significant portion of your lands is currently their possession and they have repeatedly stated if Niggeria breaks, they taking that territory whether una like it or not. They've murdered significant number of your leaders right in una faces without zero consequences that comes from it. Currently, they've surrounded your entire regions and in process of colonizing the remaining land they don't control without any resistance from una except half of your leaders making noise on the media (Ironically something they aren't even taking seriously but mocking) and the other half blaming Evans wey dey prison. You've always been a slave even before Niggeria became a nation; you're still slaves in the shithole and by the looks of it, you'll still be slaves after the shithole breaks.

Asari that became una Lord is even going around begging to be seen as a Biafran by his so called "slaves". Masters don't beg slaves to notice and support them. Masters do not have a portion of their land ran by their slaves. I'm sure your free education did not teach you an Ijaw territory (Opobo) is ran by Igbo descendants. Masters run things, not the other way around. That's why nobody took him seriously excluding you Afonjas trying to find others to join una in your servitude.

Afonja and Arewa relationship is the perfect example of what is to be under servitude. You're their slaves in the past, present and they are currently making sure it stays like that in the future. Generational SLAVES.

That Ore situation actually exposed Yorubas as slaves of the North. You Yorubas were so concerned that Ojukwu invaded the west that you joined hands with the North to enslave everybody to the North

Today, Obasanjo is shouting "Fulanization" and "Islamisation". If Adekunle was still alive, he probably would be shouting the same thing. But 50 years ago when Ojukwu was fighting against the same Fulanization and Islamization of Igbos, Obasanjo and Adekunle thought he was a mad man and fought against him proudly.

When Yorubas should have been teaming up with Ojukwu to drive Gowon and his Northern goons out of Lagos back to the North, Yorubas were busy teaming up with the North to make everybody come under Northern rule

Today, it's no longer Ojukwu invading the West, it is Fulani herdsmen who are invading and killing Fashoranti's daughter

The only help the British provided was Weapons, and wars aren't won by weapons alone, but by determination and will-power. for example Saudi Arabia with all latest military toys and billions spent on buying sophisticated weapons are still unable to defeat rag tag Militias in Yemen.

Although one must give kudos to the Biafran troops, who with little weapons fought the FG, we must also learn not to undermine the efforts of some of the soldiers on the federal side.

I read a lot about Adekunle's effort in the war, I wouldn't want to talk about it because this thread is going tribal, I would also like to draw the attention of some great men who fought so well, men like Samuel Ogbemudia, Major Uchendu etc readily comes to mind.
My dad served as a volunteer in the Nigerian Army. He recently owned up to the fact may be out of old age of a Naval Warship manned by British personnel off the coast of Bonny. They provided strategy and logistics.

WHY DID YORUBA REALLY FIGHT THE WAR?

YorubaHero12:

Lol, you Igbo chestbeater do not cease to amaze me. So you think Biafra fought alone against Nigeria lol. There are lot of mercenaries employed by Biafra during the war and a lot of countries supported you guys too.

Infact when they saw that you guys are being killed like chicken and Ojukwu kept fighting without direction even while seeing his kinsmen dying like fowl they had to raise the issue in the UN hence why they always term the war genocide due to the high mortality rate.

Nigeria forces commanded by the brave Yorubas ended the war through force and strategic planning. You have to learn a lot from the superior Yoruba tribe and that is diplomacy, restraint, and tactical approach to situations.

A coward is not a person that is slow to anger, a coward is a person that started a war with propaganda, whose action led to the massacre of his tribesmen in their million and who fled with his tail behind his legs when the war raged on after realizing he has been defeated ideologically and physically, of course I’m talking of Ojukwu of unblessed memory. He is a true definition of a COWARD
