Subject: [Biafraland] Fwd: And Opkaii thought he does not deserve a memorial in Enugu

You may be tickled by the fancies and falacies of the a people whose sole aim in the politics of Nigeria is to lie and defraud others. We have been given to understand that Fajuyi died while protecting his host, an Igboman, Ironsi. Now the Yorubas have even taken this falsehood further that it has now assumed a mythical proportion. Such magnanimity and sacrifice is hardly a thing to expect from a Yoruba person.
I covered the story in my book, "Biafra War Revisited", because after I learnt the truth to the story, i thought it was an important and needed story of record to disseminate. I must say I was surprised that it was Maazi
Cornelius Akubueze who forwarded this distorted story of an important historical event. More so when he asked us to join hands in honoring Fajuyi,
"this brave son of Yoruba decent.." Since he has read my this my book, I thought he would have found out this and the truth about Ifeajuna and the allegation of selling us for money. I think he has posted an article that still made mention of Ifeajuna and others selling us for money, after I have written a couple of articles pointing to the a fact of fabrication.
Also, because a Yoruba guy has has battled a very active and important
contributor on this forum, Maazi Ezeji, using this same false argument of Fajuyi valor and sacrifice, to prove how wonderful and dependable the Yorubas have been. I did not have the time to jump in and shatter that lie then. I can't possibly let it slide this time. I shall begin with paraphrasing a scetion of this hyperbolic ulogic article.

"Then a significant event occurred. Lt. Col Fajuyi, the host of the Head of State, refused to allow his guest and commander to be executed. He offered himself in his place but the offer was turned down. After all pleas were refused by the coup [lotters, he offered to die along with his commander, turning down the offer to escape and go unhurt," he said. Noting that Fajuyi died because "he chose a path of honour, rather than disgrace and chaos, he laid down his life as a sacrifice for his guests, and for Nigeria." Adeyeye
lamented that "Fajuyi's valour, gallantry, courage and sacrifice have not
been honoured by his country men and women."

The truth to the story was that Fajuyi fell not because he was protecting his guest as claimed, but because he was implicated in the first coup. This was substantialted beyond every reasonable doubt by no other
person than Ademoyega, one of the three principla majors who planned and executed the first coup. Demoyega, a Yoruba man himself, said in his book, "WHY WE STRUCK", that "had already been earmarked for elimination, come July coup." One would like to know why he was earmarked. Ademoyega said that the young majors, Ifeajuna, Ademoyega and Nzeogwu, talked to a couple of senior
officers they considered as radical about their plans, even though they wanted it to remain a junior officers' coup. he mentioned two in his book,
Lt. Col Fajuyi and Lt Col Victor Banjo.
He said the two for one reason or another did not participate (directly)
in the coup. For Fajuyi, he gave the reason that he was on leave at the time they thought the had to strike, as the government of Abubarkar had been involved in a vigorous reshufflement of civilian and military officer. This was evetually found to be an attempt by the North to place themselves
strategically for their own coup in the making. As to Banjo, he gave the reason that Banjo had had a disagreement with the majors over strategy. He wanted them to have what he called "an initial political phase", where they would enlist the help of civilians (with particular reference to Awolowo).
After this short period, they would take the affirs of the country strictly in their own hands. And the plan was more or less communism. All of them were students of Chike Obi, and were very much enamoured of Russia.
On their own side, the major refused, saying that any attempt to enlist
the help of civiliand would compromise the coup, and they didn't budge. Banjo
wouldn't go along and had to leave.
one more interesting thing I feel compelled to add with regard to banjo
is that after the coup flopped, and the conspirators were bounded and locked
up at the Kirikiri, The South was clamoring for immediate release of this guys whom they considered as heros. While the South and indeed progressive Middle-Belt were doing that, the North was saying the opposite: Execute those guys immediately. That put Ironsi on a tight rope and he had to thread with extreme caution. While this was going on, Banjo went into the GOC's
(Ironsi's) office, with a pistol to get ironsi to release the guys. It was
believed that he had an ulterior motive. To kill Ironsi and continue the coup. Ironsi got him arrested and he eventually found himself in a prison in the East. That was why and how the history of Biafra got tangled with Banjo.
The rest of the story I have in my book, "Biafra War Revisited."
Nevertheless, I have to say here and now what I said in my book, that I
thought Banjo might have been the person that assassinated Nzeogwu. My
educated guess and hunch, is that since he disagreed with the majors and later planned to continue the coup as he thought fit, and since when they captured the Mid-West in ten short hours and he was told to go ahead to link with Ibadan and Lagos and he refused and wasted 72 hours trying to convince
Awolowo through American and British Foreign service officials, he was indeed carrying out his plan. And he did it not before also eliminating Ifeajuna,
for as soon as they got to Warri, where Ifeajuna, who was then his
second-in-command, went to Warri prison and set Ademoyega free to join them,
he downgraded Ifeajuna and put his tribesman, Ademoyega in his place. He made
Ifeajuna his laiason man with Ojukwu. His reason was that Ifeajuna didn't
know what he wanted. It should be noted that he operated at the Nsukka sector
of the war, where Nzeogwu, who was not given any command by Ojukwu because of
his advice to continue the revolution as they had planned it and not to
declare or go for Biafra, was shot at the back of his head and thereby killed
under mysterious circumstances. So I thought that after Nzeogwu was
eliminated, the only person in the way of banjo reaching his ambition was
Ifeajuna. So with Ifeajuna now the Lepidus of the revolution, an errand boy,
meant to be discarded whenever necessary, and two Yorubas in charge, the
stage was set for the third coup of the 60s. But, sadly for Banjo, Awolowo,
who was sitting on the fence waiting for the dust to clear to know where to
jump, wanted none of his wild and misbegotten brainchild. Awolowo, who had
wanted more than any other person in Nigeria to become the President of the
country, wouldn't accept being retired by a young army officer and upstart in
spite of the fact that he was a Yoruba. This was when Awolowo, who had called
the Northern Army stationed in Ibadan, an occupation army, and who was
actually hoping for the gallant Biafrans Brigade to come and give the West
the opportunity to ventilate its political views, called on the yorubas to go
en masse and join the Federal side. Banjo had inadvertently but foolishly
told him that his days in politcs were numbered. That was the overriding
circumstance for his betrayal of Biafra, and I though it was necessary that
NdiIgbo got this message so as not to ignore the possibility of any alliance
whenever wise and necessary. I don't think this message has gotten across
either, which means that I have got to continue to work harder.

Igbo of the abomination nigeria mma mma nu, Igbo New Biafra KWEEEENU!

As usual Igbo Biafrans continue to stand up and be counted as men and great women, today the Igbo Biafran organization EMU Abroad, has stepped forward to show Ndi Igbo of the abomination nigeria, other nigeria nations and the whole world, that the world owes Igbo a debt that must be settled. Yes the genocides, pogroms amd the holocaust against Igbo must not be forgotten and those who masterminded these atrocities must have their day in court. This is as it should be. To the great Igbo Biafran organization EMU ABROAD we say NDEEEEWU! Chukwu gozie unu.

Post Express, News
06/20/2001

AGITATED members of the Eastern Mandate Union (EMU), an aggregation of Igbos resident in the United States
of America, are tidying up plans to institute a court action in the US against the Federal Government of Nigeria.
This happens to be the resolution of the 323 leaders and delegates of the organisation in the diaspora who met in Washington DC for two days from June 9, this year.
In the proposed civil suit to be instituted in an undisclosed court, the EMU, according to dependable sources, shall be asking for $30 billion in reparative charges to cushion the harsh consequences of the alleged 'flagrant violation of the Human
Rights of Ndigbo from 1965 to the present day."
The EMU in the suit shall also ask the court to zero in on what it described the genocide committed against Ndigbo by the Nigerian government, its agencies and allies; the mass murder and massacre of Ndigbo by the Nigerian government; the stealing and
confiscation of Igbo wealth and property and the flagrant violation of the civil, economic and the human rights of Ndigbo by the Nigerian government, its agencies and allies."
The resolution of the EMU to take out the action was endorsed by leading delegates of the organisation from all the 50 states and the districts of Columbia led
by Prof. Edward Oparaoji.

The Post Express learnt that the initiative to approach the court was predicated on existing precedents including the case of the Jews against the German government and recently, the American prisoners
of war against the government of Japan.
Professor Oparaoji, it would be recalled spearheaded the fillling of the multimillion dollar suit against former military heads of state in Nigeria.
In justifying his dogged position on the proposed action of the EMU, Prof. Oparaoji said: "I got involved with this law suit after it has become obvious that the Oputa Commission has become a recreational talk-show, with no powers to enforce its
recommendations. With this suit, I can tell my people that help is on the way and it will surely come," he
assured.
How will the suit affect the Nigerian nation?
Predictably, Oparaoji quipped: "which nation are we talking about? The Igbo nation is the victim here. It has been bankrupt by the inhumane Nigerian nation and it is only fair that justice be rendered and quickly too.

His interest in the suit? He said: " I am an Igbo, a traditional title holder (Onwa Zuru Oha 1) in Igboland, a prince by virtue of being the son of late Eze Cletus Oparaoji, the Eze Oha 1 of Amuzi in Mbaise

( Imo State) and a victim of that war of genocide, he
emphasised.
Besides the recourse to legal action, the congress of
the EMU understandably assessed the current political
and socio-economic environment and its increasing
negative impact on the over all living conditions of
indigenes of the states of the South East.
They shrugged at what they described as the growing
hopelessness and sufferings of the general population.
In specific terms, the EMU was dismayed by a member of domestic economic indices including but not limited to
bankrupt and corrupt executive, employment, shortage
of petroleum products and its attendant high transport fares, sky rocking rents and high cost of food. Others are inadequate supply of water and electricity, virtual collapse of education and health services. The
congress also listed the litany of woes of the country to include impassable roads, moral decay, gross insecurity of life and property particularly of Ndigbo, the alarming fall of the purchasing power of the
naira as well as the marginalisation of Ndigbo and other minorities east of the Niger.
Indeed the EMU communique at the end of the two day meeting noted that, whereas the Obasanjo government has failed to tackle the literary of problems such as corruption, poverty, unemployment, reforms in the
health and education subsectors, coupled with the allegation of marginalising Ndigbo particularly the harrassment and killing of members of MASSOB and Bakassi Boys, and resolved as follows:
. We declare the US a no-g-area to any Igbo "leader"
who participates in any form in the current sham zonal/national conference of President Obasanjo. Anyone who participates in any such conference other
than a Sovereign National Conference will risk boycott and humiliation anytime they step on the shores of the US.
. We call on all senators to return the Peugeot 406 currently given to them and the proceeds used to pay doctors, teachers and retirees their remuneration, or face boycott and humiliation on stepping on the shores
of the US.
. We appeal to all Ndigbo and other minorities in the diaspora to as from henceforth boycott, President Obasanjo, his agents and all activities of the
Nigerian Embassy in the US, until we see meaningful progress in road construction in the last meaningful
Igbo presence within the national security council and release of all incarcerated members of MASSOB, Bakassi
and other Igbo and minority youths.
. We will initiate prosecution in the US of all major actors and members of the military ruling council in the oppressive regimes of Buhari, Babangida, Shonekan,
and Abacha as well as key participants in the massacre of Ndigbo leading to the civil war.
. We will institute a$30b civil suit against the Nigeria government in the US, as soon as all documents are completed, for reparation for the flagrant
violation of the human rights of Ndigbo from 1965- present.
. We will intensify our lobby of the US government and other relevant US agencies to target and direct any investments away from the corrupt Nigeria government and towards credible private orginsations.
A similar action instituted by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo
has been heard in the Oputa panel.
Those who attended the meeting include- Prof. Edward
Oparaoji, Sir Luke Onuoha, Mazi Festus Anaele, Dr. Jude Nwagu, Chief Bright Uzonwa, Chidi Nwachukwu, Moses Ifeanyi, Dr. Stella Ada Ebiri, Dr. Linus Uchechi, Monday Nworlu, Ebere Onyem, Emeka Paulson, Chika Mgbada, Mathias Igwe, Dr. Eugene Obasi, Mrs.

Igbo of the abomination nigeria mma mma nu, Igbo New Biafra KWEEEENU!

The beauty of being Igbo is that everyone has the right - the God given right to have his or her say, this is Igbo OHACRACY, from which democracy was formed, in action. Igbo mma mma nu. After the betrayal and continuing betrayal by the Yoruba leaders, it is important that those who would like Igbo to bear their chest for another pound of flesh carefully and yes very carefully evaluate and re-examine documents or is it memos that have or are being put out by these leadership who as usual will continue to speak out of both sides of their mouth. Or yes, what a beautiful document until you read the above!

Umu Igbo lets ask our self, when the Hausa-Fulani decided to declare full and total SHARIA in their states, did they speak out of both sides of their mouths, NO, they told the whole nigeria to go to hell that as far as they where concerned it was SHARIA and that was it.

We will not tell our Yoruba brethren who their leadership should be, we will not assume to know or even try to tell our Yoruba brethren what is good for them, it is their ODUDUWA nation and they have every right to work for the ODUDUWA masses or their personal selfish interests. After the AWO and other Yoruba leaders' debacle in supporting so called "one nigeria" to the detriment of the Yoruba masses one would have thought that these so called leaders would finally take the masses into consideration, but as usual they continue to speak out of both sides of their mouths - what is new! After more than forty years of an unworkable union of an abomination called nigeria, after the continuing movement of the Moslem North to Islamize the whole of nigeria, one would think that the Yoruba nation has finally had the fill, maybe the masses have had their fill but what of a leadership that are still stock in immediate gratification or short term goal, since they think they still have their hand in the rulership, even if it is as junior partners! When you mention, ODUDUWA president, prime ministers, ..., government, are you not talking of a new country? Just what are we talking about here? Who are we kidding, is ODUDUWA a new country or not? Should their Northern masters give these so called leaders approval before they can stand up and be men? Has the cry of the Yoruba masses not gotten to the ears of these so called leaders? Have the suffering of the Yoruba masses not touched the minds and hearts of these so called leaders? When are they going to listen to their long suffering masses? What a shame, but as usual EVERY NATION MUST SPEAK FOR HERSELF.

Igbo Biafrans have spoken and there is no going back.

Chukwu gozie Igbo.

Chukwu gozie New Biafra.

Maazi Uzonwanne,
Thanks for this piece of information.
As always, the Yoruba Nation is again demonstrating its commitment to the
National Interest of Yorubas. Their internal disagreements and 'occasional
destructive judases' notwithstanding, Yorubas almost always manage to keep
their big picture objectives on focus.
For almost one year now, Ndiigbo in Diaspora have been called upon to join
hands top contribute to and produce a DRAFT IGBO NATION CHARTER OR
CONSTITUTION. Other than Maazi Ugo Anakwenze, no other Igbo in Diaspora seem
to have taken that call seriously.
The Ikemba Nnewi, Ezedioramma I of Igboland, His Excellency, Chukwuemeka
Odimegwu Ojukwu, once, not long ago supported the call for a DRAFT IGBO
NATION CHARTER, but beyond empty praise-singing of the Ikemba's name,
Ndiigbo have not taken that issue seriously.
While I am single-handedly working on the Charter, it is not a desirable turn of events. Such a document ought to and should emanate from the people.
I will continue the effort though, in the hope that the outcome might instigate Ndiigbo into sitting down to do a proper Sovereign Charter emanating from All of Ndiigbo.
However, unless Ndiigbo are prepared to give up a little bit of their time, and give some serious thought to the future of Igboland and Igbo people,
Nigeria may collapse on them without an iota of preparation. Ndiigbo may find themselves leaderless and nationless, with each little clan left at the mercy of more organised emergent nations such as Oduduwa and Shongay (Arewa) Republics.
Maazi Ejike Okpa ii has demonstrated in his recent mail, the fact that Igbo States (nay, IGBO CLANS) cannot even agree with one another. Unless the issues of Igbo Unity are seriously and honestly addressed, even the
disintegration of Nigeria cannot guarantee the emergence of one United Igbo
Nation. Ndiigbo should start talking about these problems and to find and agree on the solutions to them. The agreed solutions would constitute the Draft Igbo Nation Charter.
The Yoruba Nation are reclaiming KOGI, and rightly so. The Yorubas in Kogi know and accept their rightful place as members of Oduduwa, because their rights and interests have been fully discussed and protected in the Yoruba Constitution.

Ndiigbo in Anioma and Rivers and any other Igbo clans who feel that they have been marginalised by other Igbos in the recent past are entitled to express their fears and concerns, all of which should be discussed with a view to finding solutions to the problems and reaching agreement on them.
Thus, the rights and interests of all Igbo clans, including those in Anioma/Aniocha and Rivers can be enshrined and protected in the Draft Igbo
Nation Charter/Constitution.
While Ndiigbo are squabbling and quarrelling amongst the clans, the Yoruba Nation and many minority nations of the South South are already undertaking the necessary acts of Sovereignty and of Identity as a People, which are required and recognised in international law as necessary to confer on them, the status of a Nation or a Self-Determining Autonomous Entity, with or without the consent of the Nigerian State. In the end, Yorubas realise that nothing and no one, other than themselves, can stop them from asserting their self-determination or autonomy. Yorubas know that for as long as they assert Yoruba autonomy within one Nigeria (Nigerian Union), it is their right and entitlement in International and Municipal Laws of Nations. I have long advised Ndiigbo to that effect, to no avail. Only Ndiigbo are stopping themselves from moving forward. It is the right of Ndiigbo and of any other peoples in Nigeria to assert and implement their autonomy (within a Nigerian Union). The Yorubas are doing so, one step at a time. History and Law is on their side and they will succeed.
If Ndiigbo continue to fail to assert their autonomy, then they are acquiescing to the Nigerian State System which marginalises them. In the end, by their own consent, Ndiigbo may forever loose their right to Self-Determination. There lies the greatest danger facing Ndiigbo in the first and possible second decades of this 21st century.
It is not enough to merely wish for the emergence of an Igbo Nation. Horses
are not wishes. Or, are they? Francis Nnamdi Elekwachi-Mpuomigbo.
