They not only celebrate their cowardice. They celebrate it with their full chest. I have never seen such a people.

gidgiddy:
Yorubas are the only people I know who celebrate their cowardice. Ojukwu fought for the freedom of his people. He may have failed but at least he made an attempt. God knows that there never be anybody from the Yoruba zone who will ever be able to fight for Yoruba sovereignty.

Yorubas have no fight in them, that's why the caliphate slaughtered Fajuyi and MKO, they knew Yorubas would just make their usual noise but take no action

Your statement of preferring Ojukwu who fought and ran away than Awo who became a slave because he couldn’t fight for one second is succinctly captured in
Emiliano Zapata (1879-1919) maxim:

"It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees“

gidgiddy:
At least he fought for 3 years before running away, you Yorubas have never fought for even 1 minute to talk about getting to the stage of running away.

That's why you people watched as the Governor of the Western Region, Lt Col Fajuyi was slaughtered, MKO was slaughtered. The Caliphate knew you people had no fight in you, only noise making.

I would choose an Ojukwu who fought and ran away than an Awolowo who became a slave because he couldn't fight for even 1 second.

They deserve it, unfortunately!

Ezeama400:
Bandits have fully occupied South west.. it’s a shame

Totally agree with you that Yorubas suffer even worse Stockholm Syndrome that Hausas.

stanluiz:
Even the Yorubas are also suffering from Stockholm syndrome. Their own is the worst!!

Have you seen them condemning the barbaric act that happened in Oyo state ? No! They are more interested in Apc primary and standing on the mandate while Terrorists from the sahel and quietly, slowly and strategically invading and occupying the South West just they did in kwara state.

They deployed terrorisms as a winning campaign tool in 2015.

Racoon:
Absolute and solemn truth. Imagine the NSA, CDS and govt rationalizing the atrocities of terrorists upon the citizens of a nation.

Totally agree with you. Nigerian politicians are morally dead.

Lexusgs430:
Serves them right...... Used and dumped...... 🤣😁😂

Totally agree with Bernard Shaw. Gowon’s will be the OGAPATAPATA of them all.

QuinQ:
As you read bear this quote below in mind

Yes, he rarely spoke to the press. He even avoided presidential debate.

givedemwotowoto:
He rarely spoke to the press.

When he spoke, he misspoke, like making $1 equal to N1.

This is the same with Tinubu.

Atiku is much better than Tinubu, but will likely toe a similar line of slow response to events, rare press briefings, and over-bloated government entourage.

Only Peter Obi stands out from all of these, which is what Nigeria needs currently.

See how poverty mentality have made you believe that car is not a necessity in a country with poor public transportation system.

bewisemasses:
If ur workplace, church and kids sch is close to ur house why do u need a car.
Nigerians mentality is showoff. Its why we go for cars when it's not a necessity

We were more interested in sensational news.

How can one man defeat two men and make secession treasonable felony?

SonOfDSoil01:
no body is holding you from going………blame Azikiwe for shortsightedness for not including secession clause in the constitution when awolowo and Ahmadu bello called for the inclusion but rather made it a treasonable offence……..the only way out now is to lobby your reps in the NA to sponsor a bill for referendum and move back to your region while you at it, so the rest of us can take you seriously…….enough with the cries already

You said it all: The same thing Ojukwu complained in 1966 is still happening today.

Commonsense99:
There are so many of these kind of histories, people don't just read, when they do, they exhibit intentional myopia by pretending not to see the facts, and would rather peddled rumours.

The same thing Ojukwu complained in 1966 is still happening today.
This is why we insist, we want out.

How is banjo attacking Yorubaland. Is Yorubaland an independent country? What was the state of Yorubaland as of the date Ojukwu wrote the letter to Banjo.

tubolancer:
A great lie, Banjo is a puppet, the agenda was set long before Banjo was elected to attack Yorubaland, he was to be eliminated as soon as the Biafran captured Lagos, Banjo walked into the trap before he realized it was too late...

Please who incurred all the debts in the first place

seunmsg:
This is part of the price you pay for serving at a time when the economy is extremely fragile and on life support. Wale Edun is an hardliner who wanted to stick to full implementation of the reforms no matter how painful and difficult things are. He gave priorities to debt servicing, payment of salaries and funding overhead. Capital budget implementation suffered and that was his major pitfall. What could he have done better?

In 2025, we had a budget of N54Trillion and barely generated N10Trillion. So, what magic can he use to fill that kind of gap? Like I have said severally on this forum, fiscal discipline is a big issue we must address if we want to move the country forward. Sadly, political interest and citizens expectations keep making the Executive and our lawmakers to pass crazy budgets that can't be implemented. In 2026, we have passed another N68Trillion budget that we all know can't be funded. National Assembly alone padded the 2026 budget with about N10Trillion through constituency projects. So, what magic do you want the Finance Minister to perform?

Wale Edun has done his best. He came in at a time when 97% of our revenue was going into debt service and net foreign reserve was barely $3billion. Today, Our revenue can now adequately take care of our debt servicing, salaries, pension and overhead. He steadied the economy and returned us back to the path of growth. Taiwo Oyedele who took over from him is also a very brilliant guy. He lectured me at Wyse in 2009 and I know he is very solid. This is the time for him to bring his brilliance and years of experience to bear in managing the fiscal side of our economy. Let's see how he can manage the actual financial reality with political and citizens interest.

You are absolutely right. That’s the one that’s shocking.

digitalman2811:
Thousands or hundreds of thousands from that jos will still vote for APC come next year election, Nigerians are good shock absorbers

I lived in Maiduguri and schooled in University of Maiduguri from 1988-1994. Those areas where the regular places l visited frequently. Maiduguri was so peaceful then. What a tragedy!

You said it all. Cost of basic diagnostic test is astronomical

Tenrack:
Ignore the signs, don't ignore the signs. Where is the money to do common test? Last I checked a colonoscopy cost over 700k

Treatment is even out of reach. Wake up call to where? You talk as if test and treatment is given for free. Do you think nigerians do not wish to go to the hospital for treatment? How many families could afford it?

Abeg make Una no dey make person vex.

Totally agree with you. The you keep showing the word that he’s stupid.

willi926:
What a disgrace, better to be quiet than to portray foolery at an old age

Another name for zero INTEGRITY is Gowon.

givedemwotowoto:
Some people have zero integrity, and they will earn zero respect

I wholly agree with you. The worst president, politically speaking.

DadaEleniyan:
Olusegun Obasanjo is the worst President in the history of Nigeria 🇳🇬 and I will explain why…..

1. He is the architect of Terrorism in Nigeria 🇳🇬 as it was in his regime that permitted the full scale practice of Sharia Law. He gave Ahmad Sani Yerima approval to practice Sharia in Zamfara and it was eventually accepted to run in 12 Northern States. He was an incompetent President who said “I approved it because it will die a natural death.”

2. Nigeria officially lost the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon following a 2002 International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling and a subsequent agreement in 2006 under his nose because he was busy pursuing a selfish agenda of second term at the time and a place in AU

3. This criminal violated human rights rights severally using military force in a democratic dispensation:

Odi massacre: The military operation in Odi, Bayelsa State, which involved the razing of the town and the killing of hundreds (possibly thousands) of civilians, occurred in November 1999.
Zaki Biam massacre: The killing of more than 200 unarmed civilians by the army in several communities in Benue State (often collectively referred to as the Zaki Biam massacre) occurred in October 2001. 

4. So many corruption cases sprung up from 1999 - 2007 including the Obasanjo’s personal endless corrupt practices centred around building of his Obasanjo Presidential Library, Bells University among others.

5. Obasanjo practically installed his successor in an election that was noted for massive irregularities and malpractices. This administration he installed gave birth to the Boko Haram terrorists which he once went to visit in Borno state without any reasonable head way.

6. He had the opportunity to RESET Nigeria in the early stage of a new democracy, but he went about victimising oppositions, pursuing selfish agendas and looking for unnecessary international recognition at the detriment of Nigeria’s future.

I will stop here for now. Let’s not even talk about his tenure as military head of state.

This evil and corrupt man has no moral justification to go about dishing ideas and criticisms.

ogolemati:
but he didn't promise to protect them na.he said it's his turn as the only wise man from west with first class in economics from oluwale University.no body should disturb agbero chairman he his resting from his trip from Turkey

Yes o! He didn’t promise any Yoruba good governance.

I blame One Nigerian and Southernes that made it possible.

Totally agree with your position!

Asgard73:
Going from banjo precedents... he’s a man that need fame and love adventures.. banjo was not into Biafra ... for Biafra sake or humanity.. he was there as a solder of fortune .. reason why Ikemba handed him western axis .. which he equally disappointed his c-n-c

For your info... banjo was the first Nigerian soldier to be arrested for coup And imprisoned.

Ojukwu won’t have gone for Soyinka.. there’s no reason for that.. like foreign mercenaries.. they all went back..

Soyinka was there because he understood history and reason for the war.

SW retired generals were Useful Fools used and dumped by the North after helping defeating Biafra.

There are too many confused people in the SW nowadays. Especially the retired generals

Naija! What a FAILED COUNTRY on the throes of death.

How is he pressing opposition neck?

adioolayi:
Now, something for the oppositions to munch on in the next few days.

This Tinubu man and neck pressing are 5/6

That has been One Nigeria since January 1970.

EmptyGarden:
Monkey Dey work, bamboo Dey chop. Just carry the whole budget developed Lagos make other states continue to look like villages.

So being an IPOB member is grounds for detention and death.

Flangelo12:
She was an IPOB member.

This is not 1940s!

Ezeama400:
America will never fall, apart from their economy and military , their geographical location contributed immensely to their strength.. No country has that advantage in this world..

Why? Why not separate?

madridguy:
The Yoruba and Arewa leaders should come together and fight the FG to start putting region and tribe on Nigeria international passport.
