I asked this question cos am wondering why people from other region are trying so hard to prove him a coward while his tribes men see him as a hero.
He has been immortalized in his native state (naming the state university after him) cos they want him to die and he ll never die in the heart if the Igbo people, they see him as their liberator.
Ojukwu flew to Ivory Coast for the best reason (known to them) but surely not out of cowardice cos I am not aware of his deputy (Gen Philip Effiong) or other of his prominent officers being resentful.

Caveat He who fight and run away lives to fight another

Ojukwu was pressured to flee un ivory coast he did not run away
