One man fought a war to protect give his people's independence and protect them from ongoing massacres. Another man fought a war to protect boundaries that were drawn by his colonial masters and further more started the war at the prompting of the same colonial masters who gave him support and weapons to kill his fellow African brothers. Who deserves more respect? 9 Likes |

GenBuhari: One man fought a war to protect give his people independence and protect them from ongoing massacres.My respect to likes of zik who saw a diplomatic end to a crisis triggered by a few whose actions were applauded by the multitude. Certainly not a Man that further compounded the problem, killing millions and fled in the end certainly not. Btw gowon's case is coming in a few weeks. 1 Like |

VICTORCIZA: obiageli please read nairaland rule 14 and 18. Ojukwu, a hero? You sure? And Anambra Igbos didn't deem it fit to vote him when he contested for the Senate twice; he even got floored by Jim Nwobodo, a Rookie in 1983... And he never won a democratic election in his entire political career, even in Biafra states! The two times he contested for the Presidency in 2003 and 2007, if I ain't mistaken, he lost, even in Anambra, his home state... In as much as most Igbos idolize him and revere him as a Hero, some Igbos actually hate him and wish he never came into existence, like My former Neighbour, Mr. Iheanacho. That Man no like to dey use ear hear about Ojukwu at all... 2 Likes |

Ojukwu was 100% right not to recognise Gowon, an inexperienced caricature from a minority tribe imposed by northern hegemonists above a number of his southern officers like Ogudipe whose shoes he wasn't fit to lace. Ojukwu in his early thirties (though under pressure from igbos over the progrom) was inexperienced and rambunctious enough (terribly wrong) to embark on the war too early. All in all Ojukwu isn't the big issue, the clique of monsters that seized power in the 1966 arewa coup and ravaged us dry are still running the show (at least peripherally) and their names are OBJ, Danjuma, IBB etc 2 Likes |

jusRadical: Not only My Mr Iheanacho, Nigger! A lot of Igbos out there never fancied Ojukwu. Don't let your love and respect for him becloud your sense of objectivity. Even past Igbo Leaders like the late Zik and Michael Okpara never supported Ojukwu's Seperatist Policies... |

Re: History Sunday 101: My Questions On Ojukwu by Nobody: 8:24pm On Jul 20, 2014 |
Ojukwu My pal did the right thing. There was absolutely no epitome of cowardice in his decision of leading igbos into war, it was inevitable,... he left biafra when the fight was lost, so what? If he had stayed, and was then beheaded, igbos would be mocked and laughed at, forever n ever. Yorubas n Hausas(esp yorubas) would have forged a hymn that would have its lyrics based on how they easily plucked out the head of a renowned igbo leader. I think i have tried as much as possible not to insult the father of the OP, i'm sincerely proud of myself. 'it wasn't easy holding back the curses'. 6 Likes |
