Name the greatest cowards of all time in Nigeria politics and military.

I can only think of Oladipo Diya: The Crying General.

Diya without a doubt. Second is gowon who as d head of state tried to flee when he heard biafran forces were at ore (over 250km away).It took all d slithery guile and charm of the british high comissioner to calm him and make him stay

did you expect Ogundipe to challenge Gowon and Murtala Mohammed?

Ogundipe had no choice but to back down. he should have been more vocal though.

Ogundipe was no coward. He was surrounded and only a fool will try something funny in that situation. It's like calling Earnest Shonekan a coward.

BecomeRich will be another guy to beat Diya's record. Watch out.
Re: Greatest Nigerian Cowards In Military And Politics by Beaf: 11:01pm On Jul 19, 2009
The average Nigerian is either a coward or idolises a coward, thinking that coward will bring salvation.
The few who aren't cowards waiting for the right moment or the right person.

@ Aloy.emeka

Whaaat!! That was one of the most popular stories at the time. Of course the F.G would never have admitted that they were moving the seat of power from lagos but the fact is,it was widely reported in foreign and local dailies that the seat of power was likely to be moved to an undisclosed location in the north.The then high comm to nigeria Sir Cumming Bruce aka "sir cunning brute" was also quoted as saying that the UK (then groaning under the fiasco in the rhodesia episode) could not afford to lose any more oil rich allies. for related reading check this out http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/economicHistory/seminars/Kristilolu.pdf

That Yoruba man Diya is a big coward, I nearly died of laughter when I saw his video begging Abacha, imagine all the fake bravado when he was governor of Ogun state

But the biggest hypocrite of all, betrayer, shameless bald headed fool and a consummate coward, is Ojukwu. That shameless idiot sweet tongue thousands of people to their death only for him to fled , at the heat of the battle. Imagine a General, the chief commanding officer, an head of state, running away from a battle field. Condemning thousands of Biafran soldiers to the mercy of the Nigerian army.

Now is back from his self impose exile collaborating with the enemy to betray his people. Like a vulture, Ojukwu is feeding on the carcass of the dead. The soul of those Biafra soldiers betrayed by Ojukwu cries for justice. While some bozo calling themself massob sing his praise

Ojukwu should be tried for cowardice and betrayal in a military tribunal and shot, to appease the wondering soul of unsung heroes: the biafran soldiers, who paid the ultimate price

Re: Greatest Nigerian Cowards In Military And Politics by otele(m): 10:09pm On Jul 22, 2009
ojukwu was not a coward per se, but he sure was a huge hypocrite. anyone who flees when the battle comes to his doorstep is a disgrace to military philosophy.

as per cowardice, no one beats oladipo diya, abdulkareem adisa, tajudeen olaiya etc . . . those guys are world record holders grin grin grin grin

but the greatest collection of cowards is in a place called . . . . undecided . . . . . nigeria cool

I50 million people just sit down and allow about <200,000people to destroy them. that is cowardice embarassed

@ Mrcrackles,am i among those coward Generals? Any Military officer who runs away from a battle field is a big COWARD & betrayer of men. Who can ask ojukwu why he did what he did? We are waiting for the report.

Both did not cry at the tribunal like Diya. So, they are not cowards.

Hi All,


Bilymouse:
But the biggest  hypocrite of all, betrayer, shameless bald headed fool and a consummate coward, is Ojukwu. That shameless idiot sweet tongue thousands of people to their death only for him to fled , at the heat of the battle. Imagine a General, the chief commanding officer, an head of state, running away from a battle field. Condemning thousands of Biafran soldiers to the mercy of the Nigerian army.

Surely, Ojukwu could never have been a coward, could he?

At least, he had the guts to mobilise his people and fight, in view of the acts of genocide committed against the Ibos and other Easterners.  My hats off to him and this is coming from a non-Ibo.

Far from being a coward, if you ask me.
