There is a big difference between Diya and Ojukwu, though both of them are cowards


Diya:
His people were against him joining the Abacha government, they never sopported him. He was an outcast among his people and they never forgive him till date. Since his stint in the Abacha government , he has kept a low profile and his people never sympathise with him for infamous begging act.

Ojukwu:
He carries the hope of Igbo nation. Ojukwu was the messiah that was suppose to lead the Igbo people to the promise land of Biafra. His people supported and believed him. Hundreds of thousands died for that believe, they trusted him and gave everything. He dashed their hope and spit on their graves.

Towards the end of the war, Ojukwu has two choice: To die fighting and become a legend forever, or fled and live like a coward, Ojukwu choose cowardice

The soul of the dead biafran soldiers who sacrifice their lives, would never forgive Ojukwu for his cowardice and betrayal.

Which people were against Diya?

Interesting thread.

It's only non igbo's that can say Ojukwu is a coward. He really wasn't. He escaped to fight another day as the Igbo leader.

yeah fight another day while contesting for the presidency of a country he fought against.

Same way Yorubas claim Awolowo was a national hero.

Abacha

Abacha was no coward my friend. He will make the list of the most stupid soldiers in Nigerian history but not a coward.

Tafa Balogun: Screamed and begged Obasanjo for leniency. His big stomach deflated like hell.

Hi All,


Bilymouse:


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.
