Ijogz K:

The Ibos are funny set of people, "They celebrate the death of their people better than when he/she was alive" That's the typical ibo man mentality,  Am not surprised.

Well am not here to compare: Am here to justify the burial of MKO and[b] he was buried according to Muslim rites[/b], Bloody illiterates.  

LEXYLOV:

There are many factors that proven Abiola popularity than Ojukwu. Ojukwu was a Military Dictator while Abiola was a bloody civilian. In times of popularity, ojukwu gained his world wide famous through his rebellion against his country and fought one of the Africa most brutal war with his is own army through some defector renegade igbo soldiers. While MKO gained his own popularity through his amazing wealth, he was an industrialist, professional business man, most of all his well known charitable work gained world wide recognition and that make him a first Africa man to be invited into white house of America administration. He was also a successful politician who won the most freest and popular presidential election in nigerian history. while ojukwu was unable to won even a senate seat election he proposed, talk less of his presidential ambition through his party. I wonder why igbos so much feel his death, Because he didn't even won any majority among the igbos when seeking for senate/president office. That should make the difference is very clear. MKO score the mark.

Alh Haram, you have spitted poo. Igbos never liked Abioala. The whole of East was thrown into celebration when the news of Abioala being slaughtered by the almajiris filtered in. He was a criminal, just like Awoalowoa and Tinubo.

I cant believe I just heard this!!

So why do you lose sleep when others celebrate the death of the cowardly Biafran run-away leader?!

Demily:

how on earth can u compare ojukwu wit abiola. Abiola was a gud man, he won d freest nd fairest election in nigeria which means yorubas, igbos,hausas, muslims nd christians voted 4 him. Bt ojukwu onli av d interest of igbos. Nd on d burial issue, Awolowo was d man in nigeria who had d most befeatin buria nd daz becaus he was a christian bt mko was a muslim which doz nt allow 4 2much ceremony in d name of burial.

I WONDER WHAT the POSTER  of this TOPIC WANTED TO ACHIEVE BY THIS COMPARISON BETWEEN MKO & OJUKWU.  I am For Neither.  They both impacted their spheres of influence in  unique Ways. HOwever, I will love my IGbo bothers to drink from the CUP of Truth. I hope every sincere IGbo man can Learn from this Ozodi Thomas Guy.(check my earlier posts) If care is not taken,by the way younger Igbo generation are going, they may repeat the Pride and Arrogance that saw them loose in a shameful way in BIAFRA despite having initial sympathy!  The PROUD and BOASTFUL nature of the IGBO man is Abhorrent and Reprehensible. you find this trait even in the most illiterate and poor amongst them. Talkless when he has a little money, that Complex will become too obvious.  Even in their marriages, should an Ibo Woman be financially privileged more than her husband, she becomes untameable. I have actually counselled a lot in this area. Think of it, if Nigeria actually Breaks up eventually where will ALL the IgBO go??. , They have no land that can contain them and we all how they fight amongst themselves for the available parches of land that have not suffered Erosion. Would they migrate to Ijaw, Efik or Bini territory or even the Yoruba they are subtly denigrating in their numbers, Can you imagine what social tensions it will create?Huh When whole masses of People begin to compete for finite resources of Land, Jobs, Markets, Businesses, Political Appointments with other people, and IN THEIR TERRITORIES. I dont want to even imagine what will happen, not especially with the prevailing Igbo man's psychology and the negative stories their parents fed into them after the WAR!  We should thank God for a forum like NAiraland which any discerning reader might come to and feel the pulse of how different people really feel on issues., ,  and be Guided. One of my mentors told me of why the minority tribes hate the Igbo man during the War!,, The Igbo Man's Arrogance! As a non IBO it was difficult for him to Enter UNN in The Early 70's despite being from the East; But UI offered them a place. During the War, the igbo men who were in Majority began to extinguish their few enlightened SOns in hope of A complete TakeOver and domination Were Biafra to have succeeded, it was some of these neigbours that correctly interpreted the intentions of Ojukwu who swung to the nigerian side and showed the nigerian army the secret paths to Igbo land. BIAFRA is A FAILED IDEA- and it is ignominously represented by the Picture of starving Biafrans and OJUKWU FLEEING AWAY IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT disGUISED as a WOMAN!! What a Shame!!   The  IGBO should not mistake the Solidarity and Support from Southern Minorities for stupidity.  Before, you leap, watch! I think that while the igbo may be Industrious and action oriented, they Lack people Skills and social culture to win others especially wherever you have a sizeable number of them or where they have a little money to throw around- It is ALWAYS their Achilles Heel, hope they guide against this. PRIDE always goes before a FALL!!

How can we compare some coward who fled and left his people to die to someone who died for what he believed in?

How can we compare someone who won elections in the whole country to someone who cant win his own street?

Ojuku was a coward, and a non-entity in his backyard

His people were so glad to celebrate the death of a coward

"dayokanu" don't be too pationate about the whole thing. you seem to know too little. becarefull not to make the mistake of your uncle Benj. Adekunle. Are you abusing Ojukwu becouse he defended his people, or becouse he was bold to always tell the Igbos what to do for their interest? Or are you angry that Ojukwu went to exile after the war. Let us know why you are angry with Ojukwu and the Igbos?

Ozichim:

Please lets stop this.
This two people cannot be compared. Ojukwu took brave step to stop the pogrom against his people. He risked his life for all.
Abiola was only struggling to become a Nigeria president and died in it.
Please why and how can we compare the two.
I see this as an insult to we blacks, they don't seem to have some moral values anylonger. Even up to this point some people cannot see why the two cannot be compared simply because Ojukwu is not a Yoruba.
Tell me which wicked fellow will be angry with Ojukwu for deciding to stop the pogrom by himself since the federal government could not stop it.

Some have already said that if they were in Ojukwu's shoe then; they would have done the samething. Some Nigerians are deliberately wicked. You don't see any value on anybody except it benefit you. Abiola cannot be conpared to Ojukwu. Ojukwu lived for the aspiration of his people, Yorubas should tell us wheather Abiola did the same.

Don't use election or politics as a judge because election can be false especially in Nigeria and it is not a true test.
Let us know if you don't know that Abiola is corrupt together with Nigeria political leaders.

dayokanu:

I am angry that Ojuku led 3 million innocent to their death and fled the war. Thats treachery and cowardice
