The war caused heavy casualties on both
sides although historians believe that the
losses were even. It showcased the largest
array of military hardware in Western Africa
at the time. The Eastern Yoruba
confederacy purchased a large number of
cannon guns which produced the
thunderous sound “Kiriiiiiiji”. The name
“ Kiriji ” came from the ground shaking
vibrations that accompanied the use of the
cannons which gave the Eastern Yorubas an
advantage over the Ibadans. Several Yoruba
towns and villages were completely wiped
out of history due to the scorched-earth
policy of the civil war. Two good examples
of such settlements are Osogun
(somewhere in Oyo) and Ijaiye.

THINK IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN VOTE NOT FIGHT

OBJ supports Atiku. His son supports Buhari. Doyin Okupe supports Atiku. His son supports Buhari. Atiku is the main opposition presidential candidate. His daughter is still a commissioner of health in APC Govt in Adamawa. Bode George supports Atiku. His daughter is an appointee of Buhari. Buba Galadima is Supporting Atiku, His Daughter Zainab is OSINBAJO'S Special Assistant Whichever way things go, these families and many others within the ruling class, will always benefit. Meanwhile, some of you are busy fighting, insulting, maiming and killing yourselves for them. Tell me then what you gain from insulting people without being a direct beneficiary of the unfolding events. Better play polished politics and keep your relationship tidy - you may need them later.
