Very soon they will tell us Ojukwu was not interested in Power either

It wasn't untill femi fani kayode olosho ((Bianca )had children that he built a much bigger house in GRA Enugu and moved there

gidgiddy:
Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was a remarkable man. Despite being the only biological child of Sir Louis Ojukwu, once touted to be the richest man in West Africa, Ojukwu abandoned his father and joined the Nigerian Army. His father would not speak to him for 4 years.

Personally, I don't think anything could have prevented the civil war, Igbos were tired of Nigeria and were determined to fight their way out if possible.

But had Ojukwu stayed with his father, had the civil war not been fought, there's a good chance Ojukwu would have inherited his father's vast business empire. That would have catapulted him to being one of the richest men in Nigeria

Ojukwu was man who wasn't interested in money. For many years he lived in a modest Bungalow on Pioneer avenue, independence layout, Enugu. It wasn't untill his wife Bianca had children that he built a much bigger house in GRA Enugu and moved there, and he didn't like living in a big house.

He's not lying. I read about him years ago in the book Emeka by Frederick Forsyth. He talked about how Ojukwu was honest and modest almost to a fault, and was driven to declare war because he felt he had no choice based on how the Igbos were being treated especially in the North. What I'll never forget most about that book was how Ojukwu was in a position of power in the military, directly responsible for procurement of weapons and equipment for the Nigerian Army, and Ojukwu was one of the very few people who chose to actually use that money for what it was budgeted for, instead of embezzling. It's ironic that it was those same weapons and equipment that were used against the Biafrans in the civil war, and had he embezzled most of the money like most army personnel do, there's no way the Nigerian Army would have defeated the Biafrans.

Foolish assumptions!!! An attribute that led the coward into the needless war that took the life of over 3m people....if not this, if not that....
See how you tactically buried what led to the hostility in the North. Very annoying narrative
You look for trouble and got consumed by the fire you ignited and turn back to cry of victimisation

paramakina202:


How is Dim Emeka Ojukwu the only biological child of his father?
Ipob with their Nonsense propaganda.
Emeka Ojukwu have senior brothers.

jogojogo:


Stop this rubbish post please!!!!
Igbos were tired of what? Of a fire they started?

aswani:


The only place Ikemba would have survived was in the army.

Though a brilliant mind, he was stubborn and quick tempered growing up. He would not have lasted a day in business with those attributes.

gidgiddy:


Fire? Somebody wants to go his way, why stop them?

Franzinni:
The question is ... Where is his father's immense wealth today because If his father was that wealthy ... Enough to make his son the richest Nigerian, we should still be seeing some of his relics here and there ...

If you had said one of the wealthiest, that would have made some sense but saying the wealthiest is like boasting of flying pigs.

gidgiddy:


Don't comment if you don't know about the Ojukwu family of Umudim, Nnewi

aswani:


Because dem carry South South and dere oil and no at least do referendum to see weda dem wan follow do Biafra.

If Ojukwu had only taken Ndigbo with him, I bet you the Nigerians would have allowed him.

May the soul of all the needlessly fallen rest in peace.

paramakina202:


The people mentioned in this interview were they absopted children by Sir Louis Ojukwu?
I mean prof Joseph and Engneer Emmanuel Ojukwu.

gidgiddy:


Sir Louis Ojukwu adopted several children, however, Ojukwu was his only biological child

T8ksy:



....but Ojukwu was born out of wedlock which also makes him a bastard. His mother was the wife of Ojukwu's (snr) best friend. No wonder,
he's always angry .

gidgiddy:


At the time, there was nothing called South South, the constitution of Nigeria still does not recognise anything called South South, even to this day. The only thing the constitution recognised back then is Eastern Region

Goodvibes007:

There was no SS but when Adaka Boro, a minority, tried to pull his people away, Ibo men like Ironsi and Ojukwu crushed him.

There was no SS but the atrocities the ibos commited on the minorities are well recorded.

You are different people and you can't lump people that don't want to be with you into Biafria. Even the Ikwerres resisted.
