Bloody lie. Why can't Buhari win presidency three times with northern votes alone? If not for South West, he would have lost again in 2015

We the Yorubas and Cuba as well as Brazil have a lot in common which I don't want to elaborate on due to certain reasons and we all know that Cuba is a very strong ally of Russia and as such Russia will be drawn into any conflict that involves cuba.

Try visit Osun festival that takes place once in a year and see the huge numbers of cubans amd Brazilians that visit Nigeria for the festival. This will give a little view of the relationship.

Why do you think israel do whatever they like despite the United Nations outcry? It's simply because thay have powerful lobby groups all over the world and the Yorubas have lobby groups that are almost similar to that.

I won't say more as you dont reveal your strategy or secret to your opponents.

If I tell you and fight come happen, wetin I go take fight you?

The Russians suffered this mistake at the begging of WW2 because Stalin showed Hitler the weapons that USSR have when he visited USSR before WW2 and that was what Nazi Germany first destroyed at the onset of the war.

Yoruba descendants in Cuba & Brazil are a minority in these nations. Infact, Black people as a whole are an impoverished minority in these latin American nations, so never you expect the white controlled government and bureaucracy to be involved in African ethnic wars.

No matter what you say, the Yoruba nation will never have the liver to fight Nigeria the way Igbo nation once did. But if it is noise making, I can give them that one

One of King Kosoko's defense cheif was my mother's great grandfather, he is called Balogun Agoro Iposun.
The British exiled Kosoko to Epe after the war, Kosoko and Balogun Agoro went to stay in Epe.
The Balogun was the one who stopped the Ijaws and the Mahins from annexing Epe.
The Ijaws too are great warriors, they have been attacking Epe from the waters, trying to annex the coastlines on that axis, but they met their Waterloo when they met Balogun Agoro Iposun, they were drowned at a place called ITEBU, that place is called eyin osa, at Ibeju Lekki are of Lagos State today.
The remaining Ijaw armies on water fled in their boats,
Balogun Agoro told his soldiers not to pursue them.
The Balogun told his soldiers that they cannot venture TOO DEEP into the water, because he had no idea of the size of the Ijaw army on the other side of the water.
And so they continue to wait for the agressors, to come back, having take charge of every other available route.
The Ijaws knows what awaits them in Epe, they NEVER return.
Go to Afero village today in Epe, you will see long WALL of sand that were used as defense formation, where guards were positioned, to keep eye on the invaders and quickly nip it in the bud.
Only intelligent people fight war like this, not some suicidal morrons, facing gun shots with cutlasses.
Thank you for taking them to history class, peace.

Though Bloodhound sustained heavy canon fire from the shore, a landing party went ashore but met very stiff resistance.

Captain Jones led the attack party consisting HMS Bloodhound, HMS Teaser, a flotilla of boats including The Victoria and The Harlequien equipped with overwhelming fighting power engaged Kosoko in a battle lasting three days.

Kosoko put up a very stiff resistance however the Royal Navy's superior firepower won the day. Kosoko and his leading chiefs fled Lagos for Epe on December 28, 1851.

According to Samuel Davies, a Saro and younger brother of JPL Davies who participated on the British side aboard HMS Bloodhound, Kosoko would have inflicted great losses on the Royal Navy had he not relied solely on static defenses but had deployed his war canoes with their swivel guns.

The British sustained 15 casualties and 75 wounded men. A young JPL Davies was among the wounded. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_of_Lagos

As an Igbo man, I laugh when I hear Yorubas talk of war. A Yoruba man who has never fought the federal government will say that Ojukwu who fought for 3 years to free his people is a coward.

Somebody who has never fought is calling somebody who fought for 3 years a coward

Wonders shall never end

Yorubas dont have the backbone to fight like Igbos did, only good at making noise about fighting

kettykin:


this is one reason why i pray this people will make a mistake and declare war one day in Nigeria over the fulani killings of their leaders

longestey:
Anytime I see two Yorubas exchanging confrontations that would leads to physical fight, I will just be laughing and having pitting at the people watching their entertainments....


Don't waste your time thinking Yorubas would fight at provocation because they can fear for life....

cptfash:

Sometimes when you launch an attack against Fulani herdsmen in retaliation, do you know that they become invisible?

On 17th Sept 2018, a community in Ukwa East LGA Abia State called Akwete was raided by Fulani herdsmen, many were killed, scores injured and four girls were raped..
When we the villagers rose up against them, before my very eyes, I mean before my korokoro eyes, a Fulani herdsman turned to a cow and jumped over the fence..imagine a cow jumping a fence.

We had no option than to throw our weapons away and run...

It didn't stop at that; Report from other group said that they surrounded the herdsmen, and before their very eyes, these Fulani herdsmen disappeared, only their bags, knives and daggers were visible.

That wasn't the end..

When Fulani herdsmen invaded Obohia Ndoki(A village in same Ukwa East LGA close to Akwete), and destroyed our farmlands, the villagers rose at night and head straight to their base; when we broke into their house, every of their properties were there, but the herdsmen disappeared...
Some of you might say that the ran away before we came...But that's not true; we monitored them till they went inside their house before our people were alerted...

Now what I'm I trying to say?
The Fulani herdsmen operate with traditional powers which make them invisible whenever they are in danger...

Now, come to Akwete and Obohia Ndoki, Fulani herdsmen now operate freely, destroying our farmlands and properties..

Our people must understand that going into war with these herdsmen is not enough, but we must also know what to do to neutralize these their traditional powers they use in becoming invisible.

laudate:

Haba! You stopped making sense when you mentioned Ojukwu's name - that man that abandoned his people at the warfront and fled to Ivory Coast, leaving them at the mercy of the federal forces?

Not only that, the civil war ended and he still couldn't show his face in Nigeria, until emissaries were sent to beg the federal govt to pardon him. Na wa, o!

The real hero on the Biafran side was the late Major-General Philip Effiong (Obong Akangkang Ibiono Ibom). The man took the necessary steps, to put an end to the carnage. May his soul continue to rest in peace.

Guestlander:


Ibos did not fight Nigeria, they got spanked. For your information most ordinary people in other parts of Nigeria did not even know there was a war raging on in iboland. Where then was the fight?

laudate:


Wow!! Great piece of history. It needs to be documented in books, and relayed through films. Balogun Agoro should be given his rightful place, in history.

In fact, further reading about the bombardment of Lagos in 1851, shows that the expedition launched by the British Naval forces under Commander Forbes, was an attack party made up of 306 officers, men, marines and sailors aboard HMS Bloodhound along with 21 boats.



Kosoko was able to hold his ground and repel them. By the time the British forces came back a 2nd time in December 1851, they had reinforced their attack party, with 3 more armed boats. Yet, Kosoko was still able to hold them at bay for 3 fierce days, before his army caved in. That battle is referred to as "Ogun Ahoyaya/Ogun Agidingbi" (I hope I got the spelling right).

As I always say, Ojukwu fought Nigeria for 3 years for the Freedom of his people. Most Igbos would rather prefer an Ojukwu who fought for 3 years for the freedom of him and his people and ran away than a Yoruba man who can never fight for his freedom for even 3 minutes to even even talk about getting to the stage of running away

Fear those who can inflict maximum damage on you, without firing a shot, or engaging in physical battles with you.

gidgiddy:
Does it matter where the fight happend? What matters is that you know there was a fight. At least you know that Igbos fought

If you come back in a thousand years, you will never hear that Yorubas fought anywhere, whether in Yoruba land or on the moon

laudate:

I don't know about the Yoruba men you are talking about, but the ones I have seen will devise a strategy to get even with their enemies, without ever having to fight. That is true wisdom.

Fighting often results, when the principal parties lack wisdom, foresight and strategy to end a conflict.

Fear those who can inflict maximum damage on you, without firing a shot, or engaging in physical battles with you.

It is a testament to Ojukwu's eternal shame, that he was bereft of wisdom that he could have deployed to prevent the war, and yet he went ahead to lose over 3 million people in the war and still ran away instead of protecting them to the end. Thank God for late Major General Philip Effiong!

laudate:

You have refused to imbibe knowledge.

Even after all the examples given on this thread, and the instances cited here to show that those Yoruba people are not strangers to planning and waging wars, you are still hell bent on describing them as rookies that never fought a war?

Wait first....which school did you attend again?

gidgiddy:


In modern day Nigeria, Yorubas dont have the backbone to fight for their own independence nation like Igbos once fought for Biafra.

There are things that Yorubas are good at, rising up to fight Nigeria for their sovereignty like Ignos once did is beyond Yorubas.

They are simply not made of that stuff. That's why they keep saying that Ojukwu ran away, to divert attention from the fact that 0jukwu did what no Yoruba man can ever do. To rise up and declare the independence and sovereignty of his people and fight Nigeria for for 3 years to keep it is no small feat.

A Yoruba can never ever do it. But if it is noise making, it will a simple feat

Guestlander:


Remember the Black Scorpion, they are super made for that stuff. Remember Victor Banjo, though a Yoruba but led the Biafran army, they are made for that stuff. If they weren't you wouldn't be licking your wounds 50 years after the event.
Be careful what you wish for. Wars are not fought with mouth and chest beating. We have seen that before when Ojukwu said he had the largest army in Africa. He ended up eating akpu and ofe nsala under Houphouet boigny's bed.

goldenarrow:


The fellow you are talking to is a semi-illiterate who was just lucky to have a few MB of data given him.

T9ksy:






Be very careful what you wish for 'cause you might just get it!!!


When this war you all are ignorantly and myopically wishing for does happens, how the hell do you think you and your kinsmen are gonne fare in those in those waring regions?

For starters, ibos would be persona- no- grata in those regions.

Alo all your myriad phantom wealth in those regions will go up in smokeand you lot will have no choice than to carry whatever you can salvage ( a definite enactment of the prelude to the Biafran/civil/oil war) back to your improverished homeland- the same one you miserable souls ran away from to seek a better Social evonomic status (which is obviously unobtainable in your hamlets) among those you just love to hate.

Bottomline is, if the Yorubas and the North does go to war, you folks will be the greater losers but i reckon the bile you lot were infested with by your slimy elders wouldn't allow you to see the bigger picture.

Kontinue............

It is better for us Igbos to lose 3 million souls in our quest for freedom than to be spineless Yorubas who can never fight for their freedom even in a thousand years.

There is nothing like preventing war when it comes to freedom. Its either you fight for your freedom and hope for the best or you become someone's slave.
