So to you, bravery is when someone ran for something he actually signed for? undecided


Ojukwu signed for death, I don't think he should have run when he called for civil war. He just wasted 2million souls and flee without looking back. cry
Guy what are you saying?
Calm down and praise the legendary Ikemba Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu for facing down the capitalist world Powers

Are you now a nation or "collective intelligence" has now become your personal property?
Please speak for yourself alone. 10q.
Apparently, you haven't heard of the saying that "he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day".

Okay we heard you, but the question regarding to your last quote, did ojukwu really live to fight for another day? Or he cowardly said that he "if he was asked to go for another civil war with his people he would decline" was that bravery
When he contested for president in 2003?.


The quote that you quoted is complete opposite of ojukwu.

Ojukwu fought the combined forces of Nigeria, Britain, USA, Russia, Canada, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc for three good years.

In other words, the so-called world powers needed to combine forces in order to face the republic of Biafra.

Long live the memory of Ikemba Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu.
Long live Biafra.

But he did "look back". In fact, not only did he look back but he came back (with his tails tucked firmly behind his yam-tuber

legs) to lick the backsides of those he vowed to only deal with on the battle field and who slaughtered his (ibo) people with gusto. Additionally, he

came back to also marry the prettiest "well-past-her-use-by-days" olosho, half his age in the(ir) land.

Firstly, Ojukwu did not call for war, it was Nigeria that brought war to Ojukwu.

Secondly, it is not an act of bravery to allow your enemy slaughter you like a Chicken, it is an act of stupidity


If a Soldier has given it a good fight but canot continue, the only thing left is tactical withdrawal. There is no point for a Soldier to wait for the enemy to come and kill him when he has an escape route.

Ojukwu gave it a good fight for 3 years and when he could not continue, he left. This idea that Ojukwu should have stayed and allowed Nigerian Soldiers to use him for target practice, so as to prove that he is brave, is one of the most foolish things I have ever heard.

Thanks...................but no thanks.

why in hell will i pay homage to a war general who having led his people into a war of his own making abandoned them on the battlefield and fled to safety with his family members, his favourite Mercedes benz car, suitcases filled up with biafran cash and his pet dog, called "nnamidi kanu".
Re: Who Was Nigeria's Bravest Soldier? by seunmsg(m): 3:59pm On Oct 22, 2019
Abacha was a dictator and not a brave soldier. He never led any war. Most dictators are weaklings when not in power.

Ojukwu and bravery should not be in the same sentence. He started a war and then ran away when things got very bad. He’s a perfect definition of cowardice.

Orkar doesn’t appear like a very brave soldier to me. From what I read about his coup, he had IBB to himself but he wanted a bloodless coup! I don’t understand what he was thinking but a chameleon like IBB is not someone that could be taken out of power without shedding blood. Apart from the coup, there is nothing spectacular about his performance in any war or peacekeeping.

Orkar wanted a bloodless coup in the most bloody coup in Nigeria? Things not adding up here.

Orkar and his group succeeded in penetrating Dodan Barracks on the day of the coup. IBB was within shooting range but they decided not to kill him. They watched him escape in a 504 Peugeot car. They planned to capture him alive and try him in a court of law instead of killing him immediately.

Well, that was a gap on his side but the way you capture it earlier seems to mean a different thing all together.
