The war wasn't needless. If the ibos had taken only their igboland, they would have likely succeeded. But the encroachment into other minorities land made the war mandatory.

Why are they harassing Gowon? He spoke the truth about the civil war.
Gowon never wanted the war to break out and sought peaceful means of settlement,but Ojukwu was reckless,rash and too eager to pull Igbos out of Nigeria.
Well Gowon is still alive, healthy and bubbling in good health, while Ojukwu the war lord has long ago passed to the other Side.
And Gowon is older than Ojukwu.
Irony of life.
See this yoronu claiming igbo. You don't even know ur own history. Gowon could have stopped it from even reaching a war thing but he was too lazy and weak against the powers behind him

Igbos doesn’t have any land here, their land is in isreal where they claimed is their ancestral land. We will even take the 5 states from them soon.

Most of you are simply stupid and idoitic with your reasoning.

If that useless man called Gowan you are supporting is truthful enough as a man I challenge him to publish his War memos like other generals used to do after the war.

Let him tell the world his own truthful side of the story on what caused the war and what AOU tried to avert the war and his activities during the war.

Ojukwu has done his, so why is he afraid of doing his because those who are part of these activities are still alive and thy will prove him right or wrong.

Don't come online to support rubbish you know nothing of for your own life sake.

Useless old man who will die with his lies, let him just open put a book down if he is sincere.

Go and do more research about Nigerian history before you come online to talk ignorantly. The SMC, which was the 4 Regional military Governors of the time, and the military head of state, were all at Aburi, and they all signed the Aburi accord. But even if it had just been Gowon and Ojukwu at Aburi, once Gowon signed the agreement, the onus was on Gowon to fufil it. To come back and say that permission had to given before signing, has nothing to do with Ojukwu, it was still Gowons error

Sign an agreement and come back later to say you can't fufil because you need permission? That one is story for the birds
Only Ojukwu agreed to the signing the agreement before consultation. Once Gowon consulted with the remaining SMC people back home in Nigeria, they urged him not to implement it. That's just common sense. In today's Nigeria agreements entered into of that kind have to go to the NASS for ratification

Ojukwu killed those children NOT Gowon. Gowon was ready to supply food via the land borders/crossing so that the relief can be checked for weapons, but Ojukwu said NO.

Ojukwu wanted air delivery since France was including weapons with the relief being flown into Biafria.
Ojukwu later on tried to use the starvation as war propaganda.

Your people know the truth and Ojukwu was rejected as a result when he tried to contest for presidency later on in the 2000s.

I'm not interested in any kind of tribal slur but I'll be frank with you. Gowon was wrong for talking about the civil war esp at this time, secondly Ojukwu didn't stop food from Biafra and France wasn't Biafran ally but Nigerias. Pls I implore you to stop lying needlessly. This matter is sensitive for some people esp the old heads of Igbo tribe. It's a wound they are trying to heal from and move forward and if we truly want the unity of Nigeria y'all will tell that slow mf! to shut his bloody mouth. Pls guy stop. Lives of humans is not what you joke with.

Believeintruth:


If it was not binding why did he sign and agree to it and also shook hands with General Ankrah and said as brother officers that he would Abide by the agreement. The sad truth is that the Lagos advisers that mislead Gowon did it because they felt if Aburi was adopted they would lose the new found influence they have gotten. If the learned ones in Lagos were a match for Ojukwu why didn't they go to Aburi?

You have no knowledge of history. You don't know the first thing about the events leading up to the war. You probably didn't know that thousands of igbos were massacred up north and eventually unabating in Lagos under the direction of Gowon. You also didn't know ojukwu did everything within his powers to avert the war which was why he released the northern soldiers in the East , but he Gowon ordered the massacre of Igbo soldiers up north and in the even civilians. Of course you don't know jack , but run along with the media narrative forgetting that whoever wins the war tells the story.
You wouldn't remember/know who reneged on the Aburi Accord. I am only engaging you because you alluded to being Igbo, otherwise I don't have time for worthless trolls


Ojukwu had to do what needed to be done. Protecting your region/tribe is what any leader would have done.

In the events that led to the war you did not mention what led to the igbo massacres. We should also not forget invasion of the Midwest en route 'liberation' of Yoruba land. Or you want Yoruba to welcome invaders in their territory

Aburi accord was signed with agreement not to go on air yet. Ojukwu reneged by broadcasting details of the accord the following morning on radio Biafra.

Let's use the knowledge of history to guide coming generation. Gowon, ojukwu and the rest of tribal leaders in the civil war did what they had to do

It was through Wisdom that Gowon won the War


When Ojukwu was asked what led the most to his defeat Ojukwu said it was

1. The sudden change of Nigeria Currency which made all Nigerian Currency in Biafra useless

2 The food Blockade

3 The Creation of States for the Eastern Minorities which meant most of them had no interest in Biafra and would rather fight to defend their newly created States

Ola9ja23:


This people would not fight without grabbing lands.

They had Lagos and other SW regions in mind that's why Yoruba besieged them at Ore and finished the cowards

So after Nigeria conquered the south south and took over the territory of the south south from Biafra, why did Nigeria advance to the south east to continue, why didnt they tell Biafrans that we have taken what we wanted, you people can have your landlocked region according to you?

Or when they even advanced and conquered the whole south east and Biafrans surrendered, even if Nigeria carved out additional part of the current south east to take with the entire south south to themselves and given the Igbos the remaining part to have their Biafra, would the Igbos have really had a choice?

Is that what Nigeria did after the conquest of both south south and the south east from the hands of Biafra?

Go and properly read ur history mr man so u think ojukwu just decided to go to war without any justifiable reasons? Ojukwu asked gowon to stop the igbo genocide in the north and other parts of nigeria but he couldn't so ojukwu have no choice but to declare biafra where igbos and other easterners will be adequately protected he didn't go to war for the fun of it or because of pride as some haters always claimed.
