Lol, Banjo commandeering the Biafran forces will definitely kill or instruct his soldiers to kill Yoruba soldiers as he won’t be able to distinguish Yoruba from Hausa on the battlefield. He already swore his allegiance to the Biafran army and he ceased to be a Yoruba on the battle field.

Lol, @the bolded, do you know that the Yorubas have always wanted the capital to be moved away from Lagos ever since the 1950s? Awolowo fought for the capital to be moved to another place and even promised that the Western Region will finance the construction of a new capital.

Do you know who opposed that? Nnamdi Azikwe, he said Lagos is no man’s land and the capital should remain in Lagos because he doesn’t want Yoruba to keep the wealth of Lagos.

Even the Fulanis supported it then until Azikwe confused them that they won’t have access to the Apapa port easily if Lagos capital fall into Yoruba hands.

In all this, Awolowo was frustrated and he had to write a letter to the colonial secretary telling them that the Yorubas will leave the union if capital is not relocated. The colonial secretary not wanting a breakup of the new country that will be birthed threatened Awolowo and told him that it will be met with force of Awolowo ever dare to proceed with making Yoruba leave the union.

Do you know what Azikwe did, he wrote the colonial government and told them that “They have address Awolowo in the only language he understood” I.e. force and he was pleased with the decision.

I swear on God, the Yorubas have always wanted the capital to be moved from Lagos even since, which explained why it wasn’t met with force when Babangida did that later.

The North is not the genesis, the Igbos through Azikwe are the genesis of the initial rot of this nation. The North were never this brutal, you guys taught them everything they come to know presently.

I feel nauseated that you Igbos cry victims even when you are the genesis of your misfortunes.

Biafra failed the moment Igbo tried to extend their territory to SS and SW.

I know they will argue with me, I know some of them don't understand history.

But I have said my own.

E pain am..

Biafra failed when they over stepped their boundary... They were burnt

Same Awo gave u education

All ur leaders schooled in the west. Under awolowo education

Dedetwo:
You folks are loaded with fallacies only can be produced on Oluwole street. Awo did not even attend a secondary school. Arguably one of the best secondary schools, if not the very best, was located in eastern region. It was branded as Eton of Nigeria.

If you did not know about this cute historical fact, you are not qualified to partake in the ongoing discussion.

Constantjohn:
[b]Obafemi Awolowo was born on 6 March 1909 in Ikenne, in present-day Ogun State of Nigeria. [8] His father was a farmer and sawyer who died when Obafemi was about ten years old. [9] He attended various schools, including Baptist Boys' High School (BBHS), Abeokuta ; and then became a teacher in Abeokuta , after which he qualified as a shorthand typist . Subsequently, he served as a clerk at the Wesley College Ibadan, as well as a correspondent for the Nigerian Times . [10] It was after this that he embarked on various business ventures to help raise funds to travel to the UK for further studies. [ citation needed] Following his education at Wesley College, Ibadan, in 1927, he enrolled at the University of London as an External Student and graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Commerce (Hons.). [11] He went to the UK in 1944 to study law at the University of London and was called to the Bar by the Honorable Society of the Inner Temple on 19 November 1946. [9][12] In 1949 Awolowo founded the
Nigerian Tribune , a private Nigerian newspaper, which he used to spread nationalist consciousness among Nigerians. [13][/b]


Awo is a certified lawyer bro...

His free education saved ur tribe... Ur tribe shud be grateful to Awo forever

Frankdaz9:
who said Biafra failed? Yoruba Muslims!

EngineerBode:
The civil war was a mistake. The separation should have happened

Dedetwo:
I do not pay mind to craps produced by the very people who created prose allegedly uttered by Lt Col Francis Fajuiyi. Some folks are funny. The writer of above crap mentioned Baptist Boys' High School (BBHS), Abeokuta, which has no record of Awo as former student yet could not mention, at least, one such businesses of Awo. I have admired Awolowo's resolve to succeed in life even when he worked as a motor park tout and money contribution collector but will allow benefit of doubt to the hack writers.

Deebwebb:
See what awolowo clearly said,"if the Igbo's leave we will leave too". To show you that Yoruba's can't stay in Nigeria without us,no wonder awolowo betrayed us.imagine a Nigeria without the Igbo's..chai I can't wait to leave this cursed nation.

Constantjohn:
Yes even Azikwe operated a baby factory, he smuggled drugs and that's why most of his sons were beheaded in UAE

Dedetwo:
You are very much entitled to your opinion.
