The biggest mistake Ojukwu made was trusting an Yoruba to lead the invasion to Lagos. |

I wish Igbos would learn to ignore threads like this. Is it that hard or do you enjoy such nonsense? Shame on any Igbo posting in this thread. You make our people look like fools by posting on such nonsense. |

Ojukwu was not a great soldier,so who was?is it illitrate Gowon,Obasanjo,danjuma,Muhtala mohammed and Adekunle who were great soldiers because Britain and USSR supplied them more guns and bullets than they ever needed which they used against civilian population. If Ikemba had equal supply of weapons like the feds have the result will be obvious. Meanwhile the fedral government of Nigeria and Nigerians in general is giving him a warrior burial that none of the above listed names will ever receive when they are gone! HATERS QUIT TRYING COS WHOM GOD HAVE BLESSED NO ONE CAN CURSE! IKEMBA EZE IGBO GBURUGBURU WAS BORN GREAT AND DIED EVEN GREATER, R.I.P OCHI AGHA NDIGBO! |

That pair of shoes on that 'golden casket' must be size 7. So Ojukwu had pediatric size 'amu' huh? Bianca must have been suffering in silence to wake "Mazi Lazarus" up every night o! Kei!!!! |
Re: The Unforgivable Blunders Of Ojukwu During The Biafran War! by Dede1(m): 10:22pm On Feb 28, 2012 |
Lasinoh: You are very funny indeed. The shoes you saw on the on the golden casket may be military ones but not worn by Ojukwu and might have been provided by Nigerian army. When Ojukwu was in Nigerian army, the officers wore brown shoes. So I think you have always been misinformed. Talking about the size of the shoe, how wide is your mouth? I guess you know where this question leads. |
Re: The Unforgivable Blunders Of Ojukwu During The Biafran War! by Lasinoh: 10:40pm On Feb 28, 2012 |
Dede1: My mouth is very wide o! Size 16DD to be exact. Quiet jor. Those are Ojukwu's shoes. Stop making excuses. The reason Bianca vowed not to let her daughter marry an old man. She was only 16 when Ojukwu dreamt of disvirgined her and so she thought he had a big 'tin'. . .till she started moving around. It was too late then. . .(her seat belt had long been broken and Ojukwu gained easy access into her 'vehicle' btw)as she continued to live in bondage. What a sigh of relief. She looks very free in those pictures. Poor woman. |

Lasinoh: If that is the case, it is a significant hole on earth. Ojukwu must be a fo.ol to even look your way. He was not a dummy by any stretch of the imagination. Trust me; the dude was exquisitely selective about his damsels. I have seen couple of them. |
Re: The Unforgivable Blunders Of Ojukwu During The Biafran War! by Lasinoh: 11:54pm On Feb 28, 2012 |
Dede1: Thank God! At least he would not look anymore. All the 'damsels' have started phocking other men. As in gooooood riddance to old blokos! Mu he he he he he he Sorry darling. . .some of us have jobs. Later! Ikemba. . . good riddance o! Say hello to my darling handsome Nzeogwu! |

[b][/b] shut up!! Ojukwu didn't surrender.... I have figure out the truth and the conspiracy beyond the war.. Ojukwu was hero indeed because moslem and Christians cannot be able to unite as a nation!! Even gadaff of Libya have said " there will not be peace in Nigeria if there is no segregation of Nigeria into two biafra and Nigeria as different nations.. During the time of the war, Nigeria went and close down all borders so they will be a restriction of importation of materials like foods, guns etc... Biafra was standing solitarily and despite they were using just a common tools to flight the Nigeria soldiers etc. Cutlass, stick etc... Ojukwu sat and put this into consideration and that's where he got a link on how he can be able to import guns for his soldiers. That's where he embark on the journey to abijen and he hand power to his vice.... He was there organising materials when he had that his vice have surrendered saying that he can see children dying over starvation.... So ojukwu got angry and refuse to return home for a while.... |

LogicMind: His greatest mistake is actually the moment he decided to invade Yorubaland. what is his business in invading Lagos in the first place? To annex another tribes land the same way his people are currently trying to annex the SS? Una never see anything. |
Re: The Unforgivable Blunders Of Ojukwu During The Biafran War! by Alphaoscar: 2:34pm On Nov 10, 2015 |
gozi542: and you shamelessly believed this junk? must Ojuiku travel personally before he can negotiate buying of the weapons? or maybe he can't trust any of his Igbo kinsmen with the money meant for the weapons. |

EzeUche: You are right about Igbo Igbos commenting on stupid thread like these. Someone opens a thread about things that happened 50 years ago because they have the benefit of hindsight but the same person doesn't know anything about the challenges of the time. The only reason I sometimes comment on threads like this if for the benefit of those who are open minded and really want to know what really happend back then and to correct any misconception Thatdave: Few things you should know 1] Ojukwu never started any war, he may have declared Biafra but he did not starting shooting anyone. It was Gowon who declared war and came diwn to the east to fight. 2] Many people ask why Ojukwu declared Biafra if he was not military prepared. Well, Ojukwu had no choice. Ojukwu and Gowon signed an agreement with Gowon in Aburi Ghana to keep Nigeria one, Gowon broke the agreement and Ojukwu declared Biafra. No sentiments there. Anyone who wants blame Ojukwu for declaring Biafra should first blame Gowon for breaking the Aburi agreement. 3] People say Ojukwu did not plan well. This people make me laugh. Do they think that Ojukwu had all the time in the world for careful planning? If someone comes to up to you and slaps you, do first go to your house to 'plan' or do you defend your self immidiately? 4] My father was a Captain in the Biafra Army. He told me the reason why Biafra lost. Biafra did not lose because of any blunders by Ojukwu, no one is perfect, the reason why Biafra lost was because Ojukwu could not ship in Guns, arms and ammunition, food and other essential supplies as much as he wanted due the blockade enforced by British warships. Ojukwu did manage to fly in weapons but it could not be enough by air and it was far more expensive to bring in weapons this way. Had Britain stayed neutral and Ojukwu had the opportunity to bring in war fighting equipment the way he had wanted, Gowon would have kept fighting a fruitless war until Nigeria ran out of money and gave up. It was British Warships that won the war for Nigeria 2 Likes |

Spoiler alert Ojukwu's first mistake was that out of greed he covertly partnered with AWOLOWO and southwestern and Fulani officers and civilians in the assassination of Aguiyi Ironsi His second mistake was partnering with people from diverse fields and backgrounds which led to their inability to have a common ground and make a unilateral decision( just like APC today). The inability of the various coup plotters to reach a common decision before executing their plan, led to a power vaccum after their plot. This mistake helped the Nigerian army and national government to get back on their horses and put forth a consensus candidate( Gowon). His third mistake was failing to capture the west, especially the centre( Lagos) after reaching an agreement with Awolowo, southwest leaders and the American Democrat party. His fourth and final mistake was going on with the war effort, even after being warned against it by the American Democrats, and after the Southwest pulled out of the Confederate - trojan coup. APGA is APC, and also CPC. They are all creations of the American Democrats. Both Ojukwu, Murtala Mohammed and AWOLOWO were actually on the same side. Greed made them go against each other just like how Tinubu and Buhari- Okorocha agreement is falling apart. Ever wonder why both APC and APGA have the word " Progressive" in their acronym. |

aljharem:...... Folks from Erik zone were ridiculed, called Igbo slaves and terrible stuffs. Major silver bullet was his envy of Kaduna Nzeogwu. Mainly he was fine soldier equally with his link to Sardauna. Ojukwu depicted typical Igbo habits: domination, zero diplomatic sense and arrogance which God himself detests. Moreover, change of Nigeria's currency to Maura, killed their mission. And many more. Awolowo was the realest chess player that knocked their table upside down. |
