Who can believe that Banjo could become the greatest Biafran Soldier ever!

This Soldier and his troops captured the whole of Mid-West. Sent a General Who or on bicycle ride through the Bush to escape to Lagos.

He got pompous and tried the same magic until his whole Battalion, Regimen were stopped by less than 20 soldiers led by Iluyomade at Ore.

Rest in peace. He was paid back at HOME by Ojukwu Firing Quad. Another lesson learned.

He was only a great Soldier because Biafra gave him an Army in the first place.

So you think he will be so decorated and possibly a monument built in his honor in Biafra?

Banjo got what he deserved ojukwu should have even roasted him and eat why can't he join the winning side and maybe with muritala and awo and Gowon the 3million would have been 10 or even complete genocide and would have saved us from these miscreants I say again I no feel for him same as fajuyi who preferred to die with that goat ironsi

You mentioned Banjo the Greatest Biafran soldier like play like play. You come shock am with Fajuyi.

Somehow you forgot Soyinka that you almost lynched.

You seeee. When Oyekan daughter was warned not to follow her husband to the East, she nor hia wod.

When you wrote that Banjo should have been roasted and eaten, you confirm the fear of many people.

Perhaps he was actually eaten we don't know for sure. Food was scarce in those days in Iboland.

From the above crap, one can safely say you know little or nothing about the subject matter. Banjo was not even trained as a combatant soldier though he later re-commissioned. There was no General who rode a bicycle through the bush to Lagos. The only officer who rode bicycle to escape the onslaught of the Biafran soldiers was a Lieutenant Colonel named David Ejoor. Lt R Iluyomade was an S&T dude who could not remember the day he enlisted in army yet claimed the result of operation spearheaded by the newly formed 8th battalion of Nigerian army under Major Ochefo.

What a load of crap

Firstly Iluyomade didn't stop Biafran troops at Ore with 20 men as he claimed, that's just pure bullsh*t concocted for purely glory-seeking intents. The federal troops that faced the Biafrans in Ore were about a company in strength... quite a sizeable force. According to credible accounts that were collaborated by interviews and books by the Nigerian officers who saw action in Ore, the Biafran troops that battled in Ore were barely even up to a company size of mostly poorly armed troops, as the main force were concentrated in the Okitipupa axis.

Secondly the only reason the Biafran troops lost the Ore battle after successfully routing the Nigerian soldiers in the Midwest and parts of the West was because "Colonel" Victor Banjo had other plans, he simply sabotaged the operation by deploying a weak Biafran force in Ore, while he ordered the bulk of the troops to be redeployed in other areas where fighting was minimal or non-existent... morale was already lost after he had killed the momentum and the Biafran troops in Ore simply mutinied and refused to fight under a poor command structure.

Lastly and most importantly, Banjo was no where close to the most competent officer in the Biafran Army... not even in his wildest dreams. Colonel Achuzia AKA "Hannibal" (the nightmare of the Federal army) under whose command the Nigerian troops suffered the heaviest casualties in the war, was the best officer that fought in Biafra bar none.

Of course there are honorable mentions to brave officers like Colonels - Onwuatuegwu, Nwawo, Mike Ivenso, Majors - Ebbe, Achibong, Atumaka etc

As a Yoruba guy, I don’t feel any pity for Col. Banjo.

He is part of some Yoruba that think they can be more Jesus than the messiah.

The Igbos paid him back by taking his life without honor and I’ve not heard of where they honor him even when he was part of their history & victory in the Biafran war.

That should be an example to any other foolish Yoruba man that thinks he can support the Igbos against his own people.

So Banjo deserve not iota of tears or pity from me.

RIP to him tho!

I have always questioned why Ojukwu who never saw war was a hero but the true heroes - Banjo, Effiong were not even acknowledged in Biafran heroes record.

So if Banjo that captured the biggest prize in Biafran history was not the greatest, please educate us which filage these brave men you listed captured in Biafran, scoring into their own goal.

Banjo captured the biggest prize in Biafran history? egbon stop trying too hard to sound like a half-wit here. There were many many spectacular military campaigns scored by the Biafrans during the war, so many to mention, but for the records, the recapture of Owerri from Federal hands along with many towns in the Southern axis of Biafra are notable prizes among several others. Indeed the successful annexation of the Midwest region by the Biafrans was the biggest campaign carried out by the Biafrans in the early stage of the war, but don't be fooled into thinking Banjo was some military genius or strategist, he was only a product of fate and favorable military conditions and factors. Now for context, the Midwest was a buffer region (it was seen as neutral), and the region was poorly defended by the Federal troops who were focused on invading Biafra from the Northern borders of Enugu, (remember the military governor of the Midwest Colonel Ejoor made it clear his region was not part of the war, and as such didn't see the need for the militarization of his region by the Federal government) - also the Midwestern region had a preponderance of Ika-Ibo officers and men commanding key positions in the Midwest. So of course these Ika or Anioma officers collaborated with the invading Biafran troops (their Igbo brothers from the East) to make the capture of the region relatively easy. Banjo didn't even have to commit his men to much fighting as the Nigerian soldiers who were outnumbered and overwhelmed simply deserted their positions with hardly any fight and fled to Lagos.

When you talk of BRILLIANT military minds of Biafran stock, then you mention the likes of Joe Achuzia- the same man who not only was on record for many spectacular feats, but also showed Colonel Muritala Muhammed hell in Onitsha Awka and Abagana etc, Achuzia forced Colonel Muritala into shameful resignation of his command after his division suffered terrible casualties to Achuzia in the series of bloody battles that raged across the Niger and through the Northern sector of Biafra.

Banjo sabotaged the whole Biafran advance to Lagos by ordering his troops to halt at Ore even when they had the momentum of speed and surprise at their disposal. Apparently Banjo had other plans and like a typical two faced Yoruba man he was busy negotiating with Gowon to overthrow Ojukwu and cut some deals with the Nigerian government. It was that act of betrayal and treason by Banjo that gave the Nigerian troops enough time to reorganize and put up some resistance at Ore... just enough to buy time for the Federal government of Nigeria to quickly build a formidable new division under Colonel Muritala's command. Ojukwu made the biggest mistake of the war by entrusting the command of such critical importance and mission into the hands of a Yoruba man(that's like giving command of a legion of demons to the Devil to invade and capture Hell fire) makes no sense logically and tactically, after all Banjo was a Yoruba man, so why the hell would he lead Igbo soldiers to capture his region? ... But Ojukwu did it out of good faith cause Victor Banjo was supposed to be his friend. History argues in hindsight that had Ojukwu given command of the Midwest to a Midwestern officer... the story would have been different, and maybe Lagos would have been successful captured, and the Federal side forced to the negotiation table.

MetaPhysical:

Don't ever count Banjo (a treasonous two faced schemer) in the league of Effiong, that's an insult to that great Efik legend. Banjo pretty much sold the life of the men under his command csuse he had other agendas different from what he was simply instructed to do- advance to Lagos and capture Dodan barracks. I'm not even a fan of Ojukwu, I believe someone like Effiong would have done a better job leading Biafra than Ojukwu.

Forget about all this super stories, Banjo captured Ore and he is the commander.

Of course due to the Igbo that you are, you will always bring a thousands reasons to show Banjo is a nobody and try to diminish his impact on the Biafran history.

Personally, I don’t feel pity for Banjo and I think he deserved what happened to him because that will be a major lesson to other Yoruba folks that think they could support the Igbos against their own.

At the end, the Ibo man will never acknowledge any help you do coz he is by nature an ingrate.

You can find a thousand thesis to show Banjo is a nobody to Biafra but history will always remember that he commanded the capture of Mid-west.

One other person that doesn’t deserve my pity is Adekunle Fajuiyi, he shouldn’t have shown courage or comradeship in falling with Ironsi because an Ibo man will Never return the favor.

DEROXMAN:
Banjo got what he deserved ojukwu should have even roasted him and eat why can't he join the winning side and maybe with muritala and awo and Gowon the 3million would have been 10 or even complete genocide and would have saved us from these miscreants I say again I no feel for him same as fajuyi who preferred to die with that goat ironsi

Same way no one gives af about igbos when they scream pogom lol

When will yorubas stop been cowards,your fajuyi was killed together with Ironsi.

Instead of you people to confront the north,you change the narration that fajuyi decided to die by the sword of northerners.

Can you provide evidence that he decided to die?

You only believe what you were told by northern soldiers that killed him

You as a yoruba man can you die for your fellow yoruba man,talk more of dying for Igbo man.



As for the complete genocide you are talking about.
I tell you it is never too late.

Gather your people and lead the attack on Igbos,you can start with nearest Igbo man around.


Let see how it goes.

Banjo was a two faced coward who abandoned his men when they needed his leadership and started making sneaky deals with Gowon while his men were running short on time and morale...Ojukwu did the right thing by executing the traitor! it's the rule of the military especially in a wartime... deal with it.

Typical Igbo.

Ojukwu got his returns from his nephews. They entertained him as he watched live movie flucking his wife as an invalid.

Banjo is a coward but Ojukwu that ran away disguised like a woman after sacrificing 3million of his people is brave right?

I think you Yeebos are always concentrated in a room where someone just insert words in your brains so that you can all regurgitate the nonesense like damaged robots.

One question


Did Agbariojukwu ever saw a war

If Banjo was a coward, what abt Agbariojukwu dt ran to ivory coast in woman attire

Ur heroes, Agbariojukwu and Lamidi cownu are coward

Agbariojukwu ran and 3 millions were sacrificed

Lamidi cownu Epon obuko ran away and many Igbos were killed...

Is that how your people will be killed just like that
