YorubaHero12:Ademulegun was well loved by Yorubas Shodeinde was even more loved Awolowo had more clout that Akintola yes, but there's no way Akintola wasn't loved by a loyal session of the Yorubas, especially the Ibadan people. If Ojukwu had Awo shot, patapata na only riot una for do small, maybe few Igbos would have been killed. But a much more prepared Igbo populace would have evened the score in Lagos and Ibadan cause we had more officers and men after the North. Don't get fooled by the fact that the North massacred Igbo officers and civilians as weakness, the North were even more scared of Igbo domination and another possible coup from the Igbos so they had to act fast and strike when Igbos were not prepared. And it didn't help that Ironsi was a buffoon who went about trying to pacify the aggrieved Northerners instead of rallying the Ibo officers and men to defend him for a possible counter-coup. Do you know the men and officers who crushed your "operation wetie" were predominantly Igbos led by captain Nwobosi? I laugh in mandarin if you think you would have done anything short of make noise if Awo was shot. |

NwaAro: Ojuku said more than this during the time preceding the war. He spoke of how he will exterminate Nigeria within 3 month and was shouting around in the media. After the war, several millions of his people were butchered while he ran away leaving his people in languish and agony. —Banjo that led the Biafran takeover of mid-west is a Yoruba. —Benjamin the scorpion that command the murder of several of your soldiers barbarically is a Yoruba. —The Biafran force surrendered to Obasanjo a Yoruba man. —Awo is the intellectual that exterminated thousands of you with just a pen and his intellect in changing the currency. Igbos will always shout, but the Yorubas know how to deal with them. Ask about Oyo empire and the Ibadan coalition. Even when our ancestors are conquering lands, the Igbos are still in the bush climbing trees. How I wish I can rewind time to 1966 and instruct Ojuku to shoot Awo so we can use you guys to count scores. 12 Likes 4 Shares |

NwaAro: Akintola was not an important figure, he was a traitor who had northern backing, hence he got shot and killed. And there WERE repercussions, you people still whine about the repercussions. Nobody had the mind to shoot and kill Awolowo ever because they know damn well there would repercussions. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

NwaAro: Stop mentioning politically backed Wetie. That’s strictly politics between Akintola backed Federal faction and Awolowo. That is politics. The Hausa have been massacring igbos right from time, they first started in 1945. No one fear the Igbos, a lot of them have been suyanized multiple times. Check the history of massacre in Nigeria and you will see the North have murdered the igbos countless times while the igbos run cowardly back to the East. Why don’t you guys retaliate against the North during the countercoup in the street of the core-North? So you think the Igbos can retaliate against the Yorubas in the west if we want to murder you all in 1966? Which military? The one backed by the Hausas or what? You are saying rubbish. I hate fantasies and this kind of discussion is just rubbish coz I want you to rise now and instruct the Igbos to murder Oni of Ife or Alaafin of Oyo today and see what will happen. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Omoodua007: They should just go ahead and murder Oba of Lagos and start shouting in the press with the head of Oba and see if they won’t be sent back to the East in body bags. They should proceed to murder Alaafin of Oyo and print the banner in the media to mock Yorubas like they did for Saraduana and see if they won’t be butchered in all the streets of Ibadan. That’s what would have happened to them if they had touched Awolowo. 4 Likes 1 Share |

ScotMisile: Awo would have been shot simple right? However the result of that will be countless Igbo in body bags that will be transported back to the East. Awo is in the league of the Alaafin of Oyo in how honorable the Yorubas view him. Now imagine for a seconds that an Igbo shoot Alaafin and people in the East are flaunting the banner of his dead body? What do you think would happen? 5 Likes |

For now, you all hide behind the power of the North to insult us and we clearly understand you have support for the North. Has Asari ever fought any war? No....So, when war vetarans are talking he should keep quiet. Where was Asari when The North got 80percent of all the oil well in his own village. We have faced war, we have lost loved ones,we have seen it all in blood, tears and bomb....Nothing scares us again.... Nothing....

ScotMisile: You stood against Nigeria and suffered that much casualty? What’s the big deal? That war is not war per say, it’s just genocide. Infact thank God that the war was commanded by a Christian Gowon, a war where your enemies were giving you food is what you termed war? A war where they said no victor no vanquished just for peace sake is what you termed war? Biafra war is just like trying to bring back a rebellious child and not a war you wage against your enemy. Besides Biafra war that you lost, what war has the Igbo people ever waged even now or during the 1700s - present? The Igbos have been the tribe that suffered civilian massacre most in the history of Nigeria. Yorubas have dealt with the Hausas multiple times in the SW but the Igbos are always scared such that whenever they are murdered in Kano, they will rather run and hide in the East without retaliation. You are all cowards. Just make noise online without tangible impact. 7 Likes |

YorubaHero12: Lmfaooooooooooooo noise noise noise. Ojukwu was taken to hyperbole to delay the war as much as possible, that was why he exaggerated the fighting readiness of the East, and it worked considerably in delaying the Federal side from striking. No big deal, it's called psychological warfare. Benjamin Adekunle killed more minorities in the COR (Calabar, Ogoja, Rivers) areas not Igbos. The crimes of his 3 Marine commandos were documented to be more prevalent against the Efiks, Ibibios, Annangs, Ogoni's etc. When he stepped foot into the core Igbo heartlands, he got disgraced and ousted from his command after suffering horrific losses in men and materials on Ibo areas like Owerri, Aba and Umuahia. Adekunle was overrated, Colonel Etuk who brilliantly defended his encircled men from a massacre in Owerri was a far better soldier. Obasanjo got his ass handed to him in his first stint of battle as confirmed by Alabi- Isama a fellow Yoruba man, he only came at the best time when Biafrans were so starved to keep on fighting and simply lacked the will to keep the resistance going, OBJ had extreme respect for the tenacity of the Igbos. And that's why his tenure was very favorable to lots of Igbos. Awo was no intellect, yes his "ingenious" starvation policy significantly weakened the Biafran resistance and led to the death of some millions... fair play to him . But any half-wit would have penned that policy especially when Nigeria wasn't losing on all fronts in the fighting. Ditto the change of currency, barely a masterclass, actually it was Anthony Enahoro who proposed the change of currency idea not Awolowo. At the end how did Awolowo political career end? OK maybe he didn't drink rat poison as some have unfairly claimed, but he got bleeped over by the same North that he did "boy boy" for, for years. Your Oyo empire got served by the fulani, need I remind you that you lost a whole territory to small fulani bandits? I know the same Fulani sacked the old oyo empire. You lost to the Nupe and remained second class to them till date despite your bigger population. When we talk of real empires, your useless Oyo empire can never be counted. Even the Benin empire had a greater reach and influence than your Oyo nonsense. Where was your empire when the British easily conquered your people? Noise Noise Noise. The Igbos had a civilization, you don't have to have an empire to be powerful you dunce. Igbos had the feared and respected Aro confederacy that fought the British for some bloody years, one of the fiercest guerilla resistance to the British might was fought by the Igbos (Google the Ekumeku resistance), a war that lasted for almost a decade. We killed Akintola Shodeinde Ademulegun Crushed your Operation wetie and joined the Balewa government in sending Awolowo to prison in the East. Now keep crying, that one concern you. But your region was the WEAKEST in Nigeria, only the North had the might to fight the East back after we killed their leaders. The same North that occupied your region till the end of the war. |
