For God's sake you guys were gunning for Lagos. You bombed some places in the SW. You were stopped at Ore in Ondo State. You invaded and decimated the Midwest. Any civil war vet will easily tell you that the fiercest battle in the whole 3yr war was in Ore. It was the fiercest. What would you have advised the Yorubas to do? Fold their arms and allow you to overrun us?

Victor Banjo, a Yoruba army officer on Biafra side was summarily executed by Ojukwu over some trumped up charges. You Igbos should be ashamed of yourselves. You demonstrated right from the outset that you preferred the North. When the Western leaders wanted to insert a clause that would allow peaceful secession from the union into the then constitution, your leaders blocked it and shouted one Nigeria. You always sided with the North until you plotted a coup where you wasted their leaders and saved yours. That is why the North hates you till date because they felt betrayed by you.

Now Miyetti Allah is playing SS and SE like pawns against the SW and you are here drooling like they give a ratass about you. Its the same divide and rule tactics and you're falling for it like a pack of dominoes.

i am guessing you quoted the wrong person

Dpharisee:
Which is better, to be abused verbally over a disagreement or to be slaughteered in your farms and kidnapped for ransom?

i agree we erred in that aspect

patani:
she is even from Delta....yeye

Delta is part of the old western region, ignorant fellow.

Bendel was part of western region fyi. Bendel broke into Edo and Delta

jimyjames:
I don't understand your point, banjo was given a mission to reach Lagos in 24 hours which he delayed in Midwest for 1 whole week with no reasonable reason, the road from Midwest to Lagos was clear, it took one week for Nigeria to come up with a crash program to recruit and train new soldiers to send them to block the road at ore , that military blunder which was purposely committed by banjo was enough to Excecute him under any military government, that was not all banjo secretly met and discussed with the enemy without the knowledge of his master he was plotting something else after abandoning the mission he was sent to accomplish

i already told you this is hearsay

logically, he was executed cos he wasnt from Ojukwu;s tribe otherwise he would have earned clemency or a benefit of doubt.

this is the last time i will react on this your abandonment of duty theory...

ojukwu should have led the Lagos match by himself..

patani:
Do you guys shout Igbo Amaka when numerous drug dealers are caught around the world?...Those ones are Nigeria Amaka?
anyways, owo epo l'ye n ba ni la, won ba ni lawo eje....

it is laughable as she grew up and schooled in the western region all through

Kriss216:
Y'all will agree with me that...









Igbo Amaka!

delta state Amaka

she is a beneficial of traitor Awolowo policy when delta and edo state was part of the western region.... it is nice that the SE is claiming her now that she is shining

jimyjames:
Politics might be in every human endeavor no doubt, politics is a game, a cult and there are rules to every game and cult, the military cult is a strict one, banjo broke the rules and death was the penalty

nigeria army > Biafra army


as barbaric as the nigeria army is they wont have done that and it is laughable as Victor Banjo was called a coupist so that Ojukwu can execute him... i am starting to believe that the Igbos cant be trusted ....everybody is on their own

jimyjames:
I'm not talking politics I'm talking about a civil war

politics - sir, is in every human endeavour

jimyjames:
Ojukwu never shot himself in the foot by executing banjo, rather he saved himself from being killed by banjo, cause banjo was on a different mission when he returned from that failed mission in Midwest , he switched sides



Of course in any war there are always traitors which biafra had many, and banjo was one of them

hearsay!!!!

you dont really understand politics.

jimyjames:
Ironsi was not a biafran but a Nigerian head of state who was killed in a counter coup

Banjo and the other yoruba man who was among the nzeogwu coup plotters were the only yoruba Commanders in Biafra, and they were all there as prisoners, not like they left Nigeria to join Biafra.

Banjo was a traitor he was given a mission to lead biafran troops through Midwest Nigeria to to Nigeria capital Lagos in 24 hours he abandoned the mission immediately he crossed the niger bridge remained in Midwest for 1 whole week plotting on how to bring down ojukwu, both him and the other biafran commanders under him were executed for abandoning the mission

and how did that contribute to the actualization of Biafra? ojukwu shot himself in the foot with that singular decision.


just so you know there were SS soldiers that fought for Nigeria against biafra... since you are in the game of brandishing people as traitors

Dpharisee:
The SE have paid a huge price with blood to make you see their point, let me post that picture that some Yoruba youths love posting here to taunt the Igbos

you understand that mentality was the consequence of them being attacked verbally by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu?

jimyjames:
That book of history includes a yoruba biafran general released from prison only to betray his master , and it includes Biafra invading Midwest Nigeria heading to the capital of Nigeria Lagos

..did it include a Yoruba General dying with Aguyi ironsi cause he refused to betray him!?.....
Abd i can say on good authority, Biafra had more than one Yoruba General and it is interesting you claim he is a traitor as and I also learnt he was executed for mutiny alongside Igbo Biafran generals ..are they traitors too?.
.
Keep twisting narratives to suit your plot especially as you inherited the hearsay

xelly:
There is no need for this trash. what is giving these guys the boldness to think,talk and act the way they do?

South West won't miss your supply. Ensure you desert SW with your cattle. You don't go and kill their farmers, Graze their land and say trash like this.


SW I know is known for farming and you can't finish what you have started.

Other parts of the country will stand with them and not Terrorist

..not just cattle .... Onions, pepper, tomatoes, yam etc

Dpharisee:
Now they have again clarified that their ban is to South West and not the whole South as the Yorubas have tried to drag in the entire south into their debacle with their Fulani allies.
Movement of food to the SE and SS continues unhindered

..
Yes you are partially right but again your post is not very bright. Are there no SE/SS-ers in SW Or are you just deluded?

rajiedreez:
Something just struck my mind now, could it be that the government placed restrictions and ban on poultry products for the prices to be too high for common man to buy, there by leading to the increase in demands and dependent on northern cow, and not because they want to protect poultry farmers. Because I see that we have enough herdsmen in Nigeria and the government isn't banning importations of cows to protect local herders. Knowing fully well that the poultry farmers we have can't produce enough to meet the demands of the south. Herders from Niger and Mali stroll freely into the country from the north.


I wonder what the government will say if southerners intend to source for cow from Benin republic. Shebi there's no ban on live cows only processed meat is banned. I bet they'll adjust the laws to include live cows too immediately people start to look elsewhere for cow. They banned poultry products both live and processed but only banned processed meat, allowing Nigerian and others to keep supplying us cows through the north making us think that all is coming from within Nigeria.

Make una no worry na small small we go dey learn

Na now you just dey notice

The train he is building from Lagos seaport to Niger republic. You think say na out of love for the SW?

Tranquillity360:
when it affects you people,you remember southern unity.


Abeg there is nothing like south,what we have is East,south south and west.
And the battle is between west and Miyetti Allah.

...The North divide and rule tactics in effect

jimyjames:
My friend I have no idea of what you are talking about, history must be told, yorubas joined the northerners to fight igbos for 3 yrs,
yorubas never did anything when igbos were being massacred for a coup they themselves participated in 80'000 innocent igbos were killed in North middle belt and south West and when we felt not wanted in Nigeria and created a country of our own you still match down to our homeland to kill us, karma will befall all of you

Did that book of history include that Biafra had Yoruba Generals?
..did it include Biafra soldiers invaded Yoruba lands first?

Ayo2004:
Lol,so yorubaland should have supported Biafra even when the capital of Nigeria was South West and Biafra had no chance on winning,if it was the other way round,una go do worse

..
.Faxxxxxxxxxxx.

Lagos was capital..
.Awolowo wasn't an army general to lead the Yorubas at war
.only mistake he made was helping the north in the war. .he should have resigned and remained neutral

Crayfish09:
We are more than ready for it. Enough is enough, you people are not half as important as you think you are

.

You have no idea... Last time I checked the North has no Port.

Etrusen:
I don't think anybody here know the joy in my heart


have said it time without number

please we Southerner don't want you northerners in out region


please let them continue


this is the biggest achievement the north can ever dream of

when south start stopping their own then you go know say we don reach 11: 59

By the time the South start stopping containers and trucks from m going North ...their eyes go open

Dpharisee:
The northerners said they are blocking food supply to the SW, they didn't say SE or SS but the Yorubas want to entangle the whole South in the messy situation with the northern traders

.
Where in this communique did he mention Yoruba...some people deserve hot slap

thebosstrevor1:
FFK Always talking nonsense.

The south does not own oil, the federal government owns the oil unlike the food, hardworking Northern farmers are the owner under a cooperative system, the cooperative can decide to transport their produce somewhere else and it wont affect their pocket.

There are lot of buyers of farm produce from northern Cameroon, senegal, mali, niger and chad. The revenue they make from these markets alone is more than the revenue from the southern market in Nigeria

This is good on the long run because the South should now realise that the North cannot be relied upon and start making food contingency plan and also the agitation of resource control should be the priority of every southerner.

Givaxy:
Its fact. Now send me 100k

This guy!!! LMAO ...provide your proof.

Sowore is from Kribo. Kribo is one of the nine towns of Apoi land. Sowore is an Apoi man. Apois natively speak Yoruba language and bear Yoruba names. I am also an Apoi man, unlike Sowore, b
I don't ever introduce myself as Ijaw. I always introduce myself as Yoruba.

Thank you for educating me

Greenback:
God save you for your last sentence

.
.
.the Truth is godly I guess

IamAsiri:
You are right. Which is why I said majority do not speak Yoruba dialects like you thought. Akoko in itself is a big region that ought to have been made a state, all things being equal.

...I just don't want to look aggressive by saying Akoko is Yoruba because the Benins have close affiliations with the Yorubas (note that I said Benins not Eshans)

Did you grow up in Ondo state? Cos I have friends that come from that area but it is whatever I am just saying.
.

Ever since someone non Yoruba told me that Ekiti are not Yorubas. I have been wary.lmao..
.
The way the Itshekiris and Igalas have that common or similar Yoruba like construct of language... You can't tell Yoruba by just listening....e.g The Ijebus.. you won't hear a word �

Givaxy:
Benin only ruled Edo state

...do your research. I will send you 100k if what you said is the fact

Givaxy:
Let's say Yoruba ijaw. His ancestory is ijaw but have integrated with Yoruba same with other apoi

..dividing Nigeria will be a mess. Where does the Delta guys go to? If they go to Niger Delta republic ..what of the far flung akwa ibom and Calabar people.... .
.
The civil war was a war of the old Eastern region and to which Delta and Edo did not belong....

.what of the middle belt what becomes of them?

I only see Biafra actualised if the proponents stick to the number of SE states there is presently ...then Niger Deltas will want a separate republic too .....

IamAsiri:
Not really. I am from a town in Akoko region and I can tell you that there's no Yoruba word in our dialect.

there are different dialects in that area especially as it is close to Edo State...you might something similar to the Benins or the Eshans or the Ondo Yorubas

cocolacec:
Ode man.See the anthem below

I love it. Especially, the black race part

Givaxy:
Whether dialect or not. We only have 99 % Yoruba 1% ijaw in ondo state. Whether dialect or not, its still Yoruba langauge they speak just different tone.

.
.more than tone. .the vowels are interposed and certain words are more specific.

In Ekiti the part of Ekiti I am from we call yam 'Usu', the broad Yoruba word is 'Isu'
..you are right though..
.
Lol, fun facts we call maize Oka...I think the Igbos call it the same ..I suspect influence of the Old Benin Empire who ruled those regions indirectly in earlier centuries.

IamAsiri:
I don't understand why it's being called odua anthem. Why can't they just call it Ondo anthem? At least there are 100 different dialects in Ondo state if I'm not exaggerating and only few towns speak Yoruba expressly, though that's not to say the other towns don't speak Yoruba too generally.

Yoruba dialects
