Why do ndi potopoto people blame yorubas for the death of over 3million useless cursed biafra.ud animals? Oju Iku starved the bast.ards to death and fled to Abidjan. They really deserved it . That's the price you pay for being intentionally daft and useless.

Whatever ethnic nationality that gave birth to you would never dream of what Ndigbo did in the context of Nigeria. And in all manners of decency, your ethnicity will never stand at par with Ndigbo. Talk of potopoto, no ethnic nationality in Nigeria can outcompete Ndigbo in act of neatness. Ndigbo and tiny Biafrans fought a great war against formidable opponents such as Britain, USSR, Australia, Egypt etc, yet still waxing strong till date.

The Yorubas are a peace loving race, and other tribes in Nigeria equate that with cowardice. A tribe that created an empire so vast that it stretched as far as Togo couldn't have done it without a lion heart. To know more about the Yoruba, go read about Oyo Empire.


Even the Fulanis, who are laying claim to the whole Nigeria know from history that their invasion was impeded by the Yoruba. At the first invasion, the Fulanis had the upper hand because they had the advantage of fighting on horses while the Yorubas fought on foot. However, the surprised Yoruba learnt from that attack, and in their second attempt, the Fulanis were cut to size by the Ibadan army.


Despite the fact that the Ibadan army was warring on 3 major fronts. Holding Ibadan city against the Ẹgba, defending Modakeke against Ife and holding the Fulanis at bay in Offa and Ikirun, all at the same time, yet the Fulanis could not penetrate.


If the Yorubas had not stopped them at Offa, the Fulanis would have made great inroads into Nigeria. It was the Yoruba who kept the Fulani to the North.


The only reason why they were able to capture Ilorin was because Afonja had long dissociated himself from his own people, so when Ilorin was under attack, Afonja had no support from any of his kinsmen.


The Yoruba nation is a nation of gallant warriors, with a rich history of amazing military achievements. The Yorubas are no cowards.
Any race that can sustain a vast empire for a long period of time can only do so through military might and political genius. The British themselves knew this of the Yorubas. They handed Nigeria over to the Hausas, because they knew that with Yorubas at the helm of affairs, in no distance time, Nigeria will be a nation to reckon with among the nations.


The Yorubas were the fear of the British and not the Igbos. We are peace loving and hate shedding blood but when occasion calls for it, the Yorubas will rise gallantly to the occasion. Yoruba is never a coward and never shall be.
Yorubas stop Fulanis but yet almost all of Yorubaland was Fulanized (Islamized).. Please OP Yorubas fell to the Fulani agenda.. It was Benin Kingdom that prevented Fulani agenda from succeeding in the South-South..

Igbo brought the weakness to southerners. southern Nigeria not just Yoruba are brave but Igbo made us a subject in the hand of Northerners


Igbo want to control&dominate so they eliminate all other tribe leaders when that attempt failed and they were giving a wine of their own toss, they strategize to bring Northerner closer against their fellow southerners o, when their bring closer and finished failed because British and some westerners element hint the Northerners then northerner with their violence nature attack Igbo concurrently


the Igbo leaders in their naivety having lost majority of their kinsmen, instead of replying aggressively to the unjust killing of their people and officers, they're still acting unitary just to seized power again but their attempt to seized power again failed then aggression started and this led them to unprepared war which got them killed in millions


the bottom line of my analysis is, Ojukwu intention to go to war wasn't practically for Igbo secession, he actually want to be in control and dominate, if they had succeeded on the war, he could have get Effiong his chief of staff killed because he was too over ambitious. while he tried using his kinsmen to climb and achieve his personal desire, Yoruba leaders front line any imminent war to prevent causalities of their own people


why should Yoruba goto war when our leaders penetrated, benefitted and enjoy political relationship of other tribes. Yoruba had been president since democracy, even if they loss in 2023 which is apparently not possible, they've achieved a lot than those that called them Coward

I'm happy you are now accepting that you fought a war and it was not genocide like your forefathers and fathers claim just to cover up for their foolis.hness and failure.

Hear the op, afonjas stopped fulanis from invading the South yet he forgot that fulani does not need to pass through SW to get to SE or SS.

You won't see the Tivs, Idomas, Beroms making mouth on how they stopped the fulanis but those who lost territories even to this day. A set of people whose ancestral lands are being ruled by Invaders as we speak are the ones claiming victory.

If indeed you stopped the fulanis as you claim, why didn't you chase them out of Illorin and other afonja towns and villages?!

Audio people, everyone don see una finish grin

Not only that OP. Jose Antonio Aponte was an enslaved Yoruba who staged a slave revolt in Cuba in 1812. Yorubas, led by two Yoruba women Carlota Lukumi and Fermina, staged a slave revolt in Cuba in 1843-1844. Yorubas (alongside a handful of Hausa slaves) led a slave revolt in Bahia, Brazil in 1835 in what is known as the "Male (from the Yoruba term for Muslims Imale) slave insurrection."

Thomas Peters, an enslaved Yoruba, led African-American slaves in the Revolutionary War on the side of the British in order to gain freedom.

Brazil's greatest ever black Military General was Candido da Fonseca Galvao, A Yoruba of Oyo descent. Yoruba have also produced Nigeria's bravest, fearless Activists in Nigeria: Fela, Tai Solarin and Fawehinmi come to mind.
And lastly, the Yorubas brought Biafla to its knees and sent the coward Ojukwu into exile.

grin yarribas are hopeless why always creating threads about Igbo's can't they live without us? The Igbo's never lost there ancestral lands to the Fulani's and cowards that was chased out of kwara are talking,why didn't the Fulani's defeat the tiv/kanuris only afonja people.you people should thank the British for coming if not Yarruba people could have been throw into the Atlantic ocean.always chest beating,Yoruba's never fought any wars with the British they willingly submitted as slaves,while we fought many wars with them which they recorded in there history.lurdgard was right about you people,the British feared the Igbo's a lot even lurdgard made same statement "industrious and religious but dangerous to be trusted power with".the only war Yoruba's won was between themselves.

At least yorubas are not crying about some 3 million useless apes that were killed like chickens by oju Iku. If yorubas lost any territory to fulanis, they are not blaming biafra.ud for it. Why do you cursed biafra.uds blame yorubas for all your problems? Oju Iku wasted the lives of 3 million biafra.ud apes, you animals blamed Awolowo. Your governors in the potopoto republic are watching as erosion is washing your akpu heads away, you blame Tinubu for it. You cannot sleep or live in your region because of fear of biafra.ud cannibals, you blame yorubas for it. Your akpu biafra.ud brothers are jumping out of the window to their deaths in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, you blame Osinbajo for it.
