They are insufferable I swear. But I'll keep exposing till they finally receive sense

There lies your problem. Willfully obtuse

You don't know the difference between a research paper based on documented history and an opinion

You posted the same thing twice and tried to be smart by half as usual. I ask again, apart from Iluyomade, Obasanjo and one or two other officers how many of your people actually did the fighting at Ore? It's a very simple question.

The middle belt and northerners who made up most of the actual fighting men don't make noise like you

tsdarkside:
and china,vietnam,japan,afghanistan.....

kettykings:
Biafra stopped the war to end deaths by starvation and not to any spectacular military strength of nigeria military. Stop this misrepresentation of facts , Nigeria is still battling with Boko haram with escalating military and civilian casualties

kettykings:
Biafra did not lose the war because of Ore invasion , Biafra lost to a side backed by Britain , Soviet union , Egypt and OAU , stop this this misrepresentation of facts

kettykings:
Let them use the same quick kill policy and end boko haram, they should apply the same quick kill policy to recover bakassi peninsular. just 1 ogbunigwe bomb finished the whole of second division.


[s]If someone said i will shoot at anything that moves and does not move ,isn't that a quick kill policy [/s]

MasterKernel:
Which Ore Black Monkey?... Please stay away highness. I won't be surprise if you say it was Yoruba Army that stopped Biafrans.

Sorry Sir, were you told they selected Yorubas only in the Army to stop the invasion of Ore?

kettykings:
And where were gowon and his boys

kettykings:
if you recall very well this same The Ogbologbo brain in Gowon's govt, Pa Awo was in jail on a life sentence and his brain could not save him or his region which was on fire .



This is exactly what someone who does not know how Ogbunigwe works would type. Ogbunigwe as the name implies was a mass destroyer and does not spare anything , man or material in its path of destruction. it holds the world record of wiping out the entire 2nd Division of the Nigerian Army, no other military under the sun has been able to achieve this right from the biblical days of king David to modern militaries of Alexander the great , Napoleonic wars till the atomic bombs of the second world war.

Badly embellished rubbish by Iluyomade to tickle his light brained brethren

Aside from a few officers, how many Yorubas actually fought at Ore? The bulk of soldiers who fought there were from the north and Middle Belt but they don't make noise like you all have been doing. If I have time today I will debunk this you people's favourite masturbatory propaganda

When the civil war commenced around June to July 1967, I was based in Ibadan where I commanded a small unit. But I joined the military in 1952 with Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and Sani Abacha, who were my colleagues. I was sent to India for military training to be commissioned as Infantry, that is, to fight wars. The war started from the north, but it got to a point when the Biafran soldiers wanted to break through and conquer the West, they believed that if they conquered the West, it would be easy for them to manoeuvre their way through to the North. So, they wanted to break through Ore into the West, then straight to Lagos. But, at the beginning of August, I was despatched to Ore village to act as Security Officer, to ensure internal security and, to make the civilians aware of the presence of the federal troops. I was there with 33 soldiers.
Later, Biafra captured Mid West, and arrived in Benin. This meant that their next target was the West. So I was told by then Colonel Olusegun Obasanjo, who was the Commander in Ibadan, to move to Ore border, which is about 19 miles to Ore village. Then, I moved there that night but I told Obasanjo that I was ill-equipped to curtail the Biafran attack. What can 33 soldiers do? So, he promised to reinforce and he did keep to his promise. Then, our total strength grew to 179 soldiers to defend the place.

I had premonition of danger and when I got to Ore, I deployed my troops towards the Western region. The bridge at Ofosu was the boundary, so I went ahead to survey the area to know the mountainous and forested areas. And I deployed my troops, so if there would be an attack on the West, they would have to cross the bridge. So I safeguarded the bridge and gave my troops instruction not to allow anybody cross over. By that time, there was an instruction that I shouldn’t allow anybody into the West.

After deployment of troops, I rose up from my trench at about 12 midnight, it started to rain heavily, but I told the troops not to leave their trenches. So, we dug in. Then, when I saw the skyline of the vehicles of the Biafran soldiers coming towards us, I shouted that no one should fire except me. And the battle started minutes past midnight. But the bridge was so heavy that they could not penetrate. If they had known that we had a small number, maybe they could have made the effort to penetrate. So we confused them, the place was well secured and we never lost any soldier.

Gabkosh:
I wonder too o. People that didn't even move close to ore

brightokechukwu:
Afonja and noise, why not take a picture of the rusting armored tank and show us? If you ever picked up a book about the war and read( besides regurgitating the same rubbish war tales you heard from idiots who didn't even participate in the fighting), you would have known that Biafran soldiers successfully captured Ore, Okitipupa, and were just few miles from crossing the ofosu Bridge which was later blown up by the retreating Federal troops... thus delaying the Biafran advance beyond Ondo axis. But most significantly, Victor Banjo was the main reason the Biafran advance lost momentum, Ojukwu's biggest mistake in that war was giving command of a very important operation in the Midwest to a yoruba man to capture Lagos... that's like giving command of a legion of demons to the Devil to destroy hell fire - plain daft and Illogical expectations, maybe Ojukwu trusted Banjo too much, but surely he should have known better... Victor Banjo ordered a complete halt of all Biafran units in Ore, and by then the momentum of speed and surprise which the Biafrans used to their advantage was now totally lost, it wasn't long after that the Biafrans began to retreat from Ore back to Benin and consequently across the Midwest back to the East after they had lost the will to keep pushing and fight.

So the Biafran failures in Ore wasn't down to some military genius by the cowardly yoruba/Nigerian soldiers who actually lost Ore and fled, it was simply a classic case of treason within the Biafran high command in the Midwest, willfully masterminded by a Yoruba officer with collaboration from some anti-Ojukwu enthusiasts like Sam Alale and Ifeajuna in sabotaging the whole operation in the Midwest and Western region. And that was why Ojukwu had Victor Banjo and his collaborators summarily executed for their treachery.

This meant that their next target was the West. So I was told by then Colonel Olusegun Obasanjo, who was the Commander in Ibadan, to move to Ore border, which is about 19 miles to Ore village. Then, I moved there that night but I told Obasanjo that I was ill-equipped to curtail the Biafran attack. What can 33 soldiers do? So, he promised to reinforce and he did keep to his promise.

Conner44:
The main thing is that this issue is affecting only yorubas for now Yes, the rest of the south are ready to sit it out and watch because if Amotekun fails the Southwest will be the first to be overrun by the Fulani marauders. .

As they are dealing with yorubas the rest of the south will be watching and learning whatever sophisticated strategy the Fulani will use to deal blow after blow on the SW.

With that information and intelligence the rest of the south will put up a United front and dispel the Fulani back to the SW and North where they belong.

Watch ... it’s already beginning to happen before everyone’s eyes lol

ghettokid1:
How many percent of Ondo people is protesting?

ItooWorWor:
Suspected fulani herdmen have attacked and stabbed a commercial motorcycle operator, Jamilu Umaru to death in Udjevwu Community in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State.

The suspected Fulani herdmen also dispossessed the deceased of his motorbike on Friday, January 17, DAILY POST can report.

When contacted for comments, the Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Hafiz Inuwa confirmed the report in telephone chat with our correspondent on Sunday.

CP Inuwa said the deceased was robbed of his motorbike.
He said the police "will not rest its oars until the prepetrators are apprehended.

The is coming days after a motorcycle operator, Monoria Ofiste was murdered by suspected armed robbers who buried his remains in a shallow grave at Mosogar Community Ethiope-West Local.

EzeCanada:
Dude, I am not hateful. I am very loving, truthful and progressive. I have Yorubas on my payroll and love everyone irrespective of tribe and background.

Your leaders are very cunning and deceptive. They tend to throw spanners in the works of their entire southern brothers when it matters most And your tribesmen tend to easily use course, abusive and derogatory languages when ever confronted with facts. They do not have the temperament and intellectual skill to engage in constructive arguments

For instance, to know how divisive and insincere your leaders are, if even in this current situation, a high profile leader from the fulani extraction ( someone in the calibre of Buhari for instance) happen to fly into Lagos today - Boudilion precisely - with a promise to hand over power in 2023, I am sure you will agree with me that this whole noise surrounding your so called Omotuken will die a natural death at the expense of other Southerners currently and innocently fighting your course as we speak.

So who is deceiving whom?

Sirjamo:
We are not against Igbo, we are against ipob miscreants. Cownu made us to hate ipob by calling us all sorts of names, how do you expect us to react? Give him a chieftaincy title?

Don't mind those mo.rons, o jare!!! funny enough, when the ydiot first came on the scene chanting biaafra, biafra, like a drunken youth I didn't give a phock about him. But that was until he started imploring his demented and emotionally-vacuous followers to kill any yoruba pastor they catch sight off. My immediate blood brother is a pastor but somehow his mentally deranged underlings expect me to send him flowers in support

The sad fact of the matter is that, he knew he can't get traction to his Biafra madness without involving the yorubas. same way ojukwu had to involve us in his foolishness until he finally met his "waterloo" at Ore.

selemempe:
criminal.
Yorubas are a funny bunch. The same group of people who have no qualms betraying the rest of the south sophisticatedly and repeatedly are now asking the rest of the south to stand by them and not recount ancient history. Chai
God don't like ugly
Why are you guys looking for support?

Muna4real:
All of you saying yorubas fought, yorubas fought. Where were they when illorin was won over? [b]The yorubas still beg to have an oba in their own land.[/b]That is something that can never happen in igbo land.

gidgiddy:
That has been the lie the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway media have been peddling for years. When Ironsi was in power, the 4 Regions maintained their boundaries, they had resource control, fiscal responsibility. The 4 Regions even had their own ambassadors from the UK during Ironsi's time. Those who want Nigeria restructured today cannot even dream of the level of federalism Ironsi allowed. Decree 34 of 1966 only centalised Government and the civil service.

Arubajagz:
Who is bestowing what on you?

Deal with your inferiority complex first bro!

Dedetwo:
[s]Nzeogwu did not violate any land. The subsequent coups have proved that the narratives such as BBC, political elites from northern region and media houses and politicians of western region of Nigeria were responsible for blood shade the followed January 15, 1966 coup in Nigeria. The aftermath of the January 15, 1966 coup explained the unity or lack thereof among Nigerians.[/s]

Prof(?), guess you haven't taken your medications, lately

gidgiddy:
Gowon is just a perpetual lier. He had a copy of the Aburi agreement same as Ojukwu. What did Ojukwu announce that was different from what was agreed?

Gowon caused the civil war with his decree 14 of 1967 where he abolished the 4 Regions and replaced them with 12 states. Gowon did this so as to increase the power at the centre as the Regions were too powerful.

Of course, Ojukwu was not about to let Gowon and his fellow Northerners implement their "divide and rule" programme without a fight

Noerection:
He sang National Anthem before he died from heart attack
God will never forgive FFK for what he did to Ikpu Bianca

jimyjames:
General nwachukwu fought against Biafra during the civil war? Which of the general nwachukwu? You are a liar

Nzeribe sold weapons to Nigerian soldiers? Where did he get weapons to sell to Nigerian soldiers? Same lies
And who told you Nigerian army lacked weapons during the war when companies like shell used their own money in supplying weapons to Nigeria , and countries like France and Russia sold weapons to Nigeria?


My friend we know azikiwe was more of a northern man than he was Igbo a man that was born in the north knew how to speak Hausa fluently before returning to Onitsha to learn Igbo, he believed in one Nigeria, and ojukwu never listened to him even though he begged ojukwu to dialogue with Nigeria


Just shut up

9jii:
Hi malan, almajiri or whatever you call yourself...Why don't you tel that piig Kanu to bring 3million ipod army and watch how History will repeat itself.

paix:
I can't imagine a group of HERDSMEN telling LEARNED people how to safeguard their territory. So, they're now the kingmaker in this country, the presidency goes to the region of their choosing.

Guestlander:
There will be no need for Amotekun if some people have not taken it upon themselves to kill and maim fellow citizens for no reason.
Self preservation is the first law of nature, every other think is secondary.
