Ojukwu must have had a heart bigger than the moon. To welcome a man who killed over 3 million of your brethren into your house is not something everyone can do.

Ojukwu must have had a very forgiven heart.

Ojukwu's unpreparedness for the war and audacious & unilateral declaration of another country within Nigeria, is what led to the wipeout of the over 3 million Ibos, not anything else.

If anyone has a forgiving (not forgiven) heart, it is Ibos who never lynched him for leading them to an avoidable war, running away in the heat of battle and shamelessly having the guts to contest for the Presidency of a united ONE Nigeria.

If Ojukwu could run from Gowon in female clothes while he was a young soldier, I can only imagine his alarm when he heard his nemesis was coming to check on him again.

So ojukwu did not murder any troops under the man's command? Or had no fault?

Anyway Which choice did ojukwu have? If a man that beat you up so badly that it can cause you to run for your life and not regard the long distance from anambra to abidjan decides to pay you a visit even at 12am you no go welcome am? grin

Men in their 30's, 40's and 50's are dying daily across the country from various minor ailments and accidents, while other men in their 70's & 80's are doing fine and enjoying their sunset in good health.

What this implies is that good health and long life is ultimately a gift from God in his infinite grace and mercies, so don't ridicule the medically challenged lest you tempt fate.

Everything God God God!

Whatever happened to building medical facilities and equipping them? Why is Buhari off to London to enjoy superior medical care if truly that is not a factor?

Imagine the deduction.

Ogbeni shut the fück up and learn. Everything is God!

I have seen strong medical scientists die of a minor sickness. Back in the days of our forefathers they live longer just because of the natural foods they eat.

The same medical care will approve can products which later gives cancer and other diseases humans die of these days.

This is the reasoning of a Nigerian. But if I asked you why Igbos consider Ojukwu their greatest hero, you wont be able to answer. Thats is to tell you that we are different people and one Nigeria does not exist

All these cartoonistic write-ups above is just because of the unprecedented fear that has crippled the arewa and its allies as a result of the soon coming Biafra. all hail Biafra.
