I found the spech given by the Niger state Governor during Ojukwu's burial rites in Zungeru, Niger state.

Listen from 2.30. I believe his quote "Many people will respond by running away" fits a certain brigadier, who ran away from his father's land to the UK at the sight of drunken northen soldiers. Little wonder the man Ojukwu is hated by this brigadier's kinsmen because he (Ojukwu) chose to protect his people. RIP to you (Ojukwu) my king and leader .

And your brain doesnt tell you that Aliyu was referring to Ojuku who fled to Abidjan in the heat of the war

But this Aliyu is wicked oo, Imagine mocking a man at his burial


Life of a coward sha

He said "many people" not some people! Lying is encoded in your DNA.

Thanx for the observation, it shows Awo's free education policy wasn't a total falure afterall, I was multi-tasking.

Bak to topic,,,, what do you think of that brigadier who abdicated his responsibility to Gowon? Don't you think he failed our "dear" country, nigeria

Ojukwu has a history of going into hiding when the field gets too hot.  He went into hiding as Governor of East region when Murtala threatened to bring trouble to him in Enugu.  It was because he feared Murtala that he refused to go to any meeting on Nigerian soil and when he agreed to go to Ghana for Aburi he agreed on condition that Murtala was not present.  The war was fought on the back of brave men like Banjo, Achuzia and foreign mercenaries like Taffy Williams and co. . . . Ojukwu was never at the front, only time he shot bullets was to kill armless people like Ademoyega and Banjo.   Then when Adekunle entered Igbo territory and made his famous press statement, Ojukwu immediately relocated to an unknown location.  Then Obasanjo went on the hunt for him. . . . and this was when he cross dressed to sneak out in the middle of night.  

A general of Ibo army is not fit to even lead a platoon in Yoruba army. . . . .   Akintola was an epitome of Yoruba General for you. . . .Abiola was a Yoruba general.  Who do you have to match their bravery and courage?  None. . .so shut up and stop bothering peaceful people with fantasies of an unsuccessful war.

read what a real warlord, Effiong had to say about Ojuku

When Biafra's military resistance collapsed, [size=28pt]Ojukwu fled to Côte d'Ivoire[/size].

Efiong assumed leadership in this situation of turmoil, starvation, and collapse. He became Head of State of Biafra on 8 January 1970 and on 12 January announced surrender.[1]

At the time of the surrender, Efiong believed that the situation was hopeless and that prolonging the conflict would have led only to the further destruction and starvation of the people of Biafra. At that time Effiong said, "I am convinced now that a stop must be put to the bloodshed which is going on as a result of the war. I am also convinced that the suffering of our people must be brought to an immediate end."[1]

Nnaemeka L. Aneke wrote, "General Efiong’s handling of Biafra’s surrender is one of the most tactical and devoted maneuvers ever seen on the Nigerian scene. Those who do not appreciate the depth of it may not have appreciated what was at stake as Biafra capitulated."[2] Many observers had expected wholesale retribution at war's end.
[edit]

Later life


In a 1996 interview, Efiong reflected on those events:

I have no regrets whatsoever of my involvement in Biafra or the role I played. The war deprived me of my property, dignity, my name. Yet, I saved so many souls on both sides and by this, I mean Biafra and Nigeria. . . .

I felt that I played a role which has kept this country united till today. . . .

At the end of it all when I saw they (Biafran soldiers) could no longer continue and [size=28pt]Ojukwu had fled[/size], I did what was ideal after wide consultation . . . [2]

Efiong died 6 November 2003, at the age of 78 less than two weeks before his 79th birthday.

The b1nch fled the war front and left the populace to die

What a shame to war generals.

God bless Effiong a true general who waited not the biatch who fled

Do you know who Hassan Usman Katsina is?   Do you know who Murtala Muhammed is?   Do you know who Adekulne is?  

Murtala tormented Ojukwu. . . .everytime Ojukwu hear Murtala coming to East, even when it was nothing but rumors he went into hiding - an undisclosed location!   Now, when the non commissioned officers started their mutiny, even Murtala was not spared, he came close to being killed by his own soldiers.  

Adekunle demolished Igbo territory and forced Ojukwu to relocate into hiding.   Even Adekunle was almost killed, trying to save the neck of Ibo officers who were being slaughtered like nama by Hausa NCOs.  

The Brigadier withstood the encounters in Ikeja, the mutinous NCOs told him they could not trust anyone to lead them but Northerners. . , . in the middle of chaos and loss of command where discipline and law and order had broken down, he responded correctly by giving them what was best to restore discipline.   It was not his choice to go to Britain.  He compromised in the intervention to halt Murtala's assertion to evacuate Hausas out of Nigeria and form an Arewa country.   He had earned the respect of British leaders who knew him 6years earlier and he was one of the contacts through which the arrangement was made to block Hausa exit.  Hence one of the reasons he ended up in London to continue the negotiations and act as the point person. . . the go between for Britain and the new military leadership command.

Ogundipe was a brave man and a well respected man in military and in diplomatic circles.  

Let's hear from you why Ojukwu kept going into rabbit holes every time he hear 'Murtala coming", or 'Scorpion is advancing".

And u know ojukwu rejcted Gowon n insist that ogundipe have to be HOS, this show u dat ojukwu is a detribalised hero.

. . . he who fights and run away lives to fight another day. These people fled but Yoruba did not give up the fight until we got the Presidency that was denied ito Abiola.

Ibo also fled. . . but over 40yrs, have you obtained what you wanted yet. . and from the way things are going it doesn't look like you are going to get it in 2015 either.

Tinubu came back and won Governorship election

Afikuyomi came back and won Senator election

All these Yorubas that were persecuted came back to see a Yorubaman rule this country

Ojuku fled like a thief in the night

Came back couldnt win Senatorial elections in 1983

He couldnt even win one state when he contested for presidency

he was roundly rejected by his own people. Till now his people cant even taste presidency even Ijaw people with a population of about 5m have their son as president but Igbos would be slaves forever

Civilians against the might of the Nigerian military! ( Alani Akinrinade was retired) Abacha was all brawns and no brains, ( kind of like ibos) and it takes people like him to usurp power and use it to harass civilians.

Nigerian soldiers were been killed in Bakassi at the time, did he declare war on Camaroon? Absolutely not, it was a lot easier to shoot at women and pro democracy activists. People who carried no guns!!
But at last nko? He got his Viagra.

Are u equating Yoruba civilians to an igbo general? Ojukwu was just an educated historian who rose too fast to become an army General. The guy is a real mama's boy. Ojukwu could have employed his Aburi skill and instinct to negotiate his people out of being massacred continually, but . . . .

^^ He wants to claim a Igbo General = Yoruba civilian?

But he got it wrong a Yoruba civilian rather than flee took guns and faced the Igbo killers that came for him and fought them till death


RIP Samuel Ladoke Akintola a true Yoruba man

Is there a difference in genetic make-up between a general and a civilian? Your tribe is reeking with cowards. SIMPLE

Surely ojuku was trained in the art of war while Civilians are not trained to fight wars

Ojuku was a disgrace to his training.

Its like asking if there is a genetic difference between a Mechanic trained to fix cars and a doctor

When a car breaks down and the mechanic cant fix it vs when a car break down and a doctor cant fix it

Who is the disgrace here?

. . . hehehehe some mumu called Diya a sissy. Diya was tortured and threatened they will wipe his family out if he continued to make demands. Let me show you sissy. . . look below v v v v v

. . . and your chief imp, awaolowo was using the oldest known weapon of war - hunger, blockade and siege, and you still want me to treat your scumbag politicians as civilians. Thank God that Abacha wasn't fooled

You havent answered the question on why a man trained to fight war chose to put on tampons Gele and wrapper to run to Abidjan

^^^
then why should thousands do the same from a particular tribe? Why is it a pattern among them?

. . . how do you begin to compare a peeing coward to a cross-dressed Army General of a brave biafrans?    A General who has reputation for dissapearing into fox holes when Murtala and Adekunle are mentioned.  Do you recognize this?

ACM10:

Thanks for finally promoting the great Ikemba from colonel to General. But pls don't compare him with your sissy general

Was he also a colonel in his Biafran army?

I'm so impressed by Gov. Babangida Aliyu, he speaks very well. Infact one of the few Nigerian politicians with excellent command of English language, wow
However, I hope someone makes him see a doctor for possible thyroid disease, before he dies of sudden heart attack and other complications.

The fear of ikemba make these natural born cowards to poo in their pants  even their-leaders have shamed them and still these little bats keep making noise all of NL

How many war leaders do you know that flee and leave their citizens to a rampaging army

Even Hitler as bad as he is didnt flee

But Ojuku preferred to sacrifice the ppl and save his own neck
