So why deny all the atrocities linked to him since he was the brain of the govt. Tolexander: that is something i wouldn't doubt cos he seems to be the greatest man that masterminded every good thing and victory during those times. |

Dude dis is nigeria and officially we speak british english not american english, so it is 'realised' not 'realized'..but then its possible you don't know dat. Ur ojukwu didn't provide you "free education". And since fellaz like you can't afford education even at the cheapest rate.,well,.... *shrugs* And if i were to agree dat there's nothing like unintelligence there's still nothing like "...stinks of unintelligent" damn! wtf?!

I understand english is not our mother tongue but at least, you can still try to convince me you are more learned that i feel.I'm still searching for the word "AWOLOWO" in the dictionary. If i find it, then i'l respond to you accordingly. The same crop of Nigerians that will speak their language even in an interview.

1) D lesson of dis thread is dat awolowo is only respected by his fellow cowards. Even hausa ppl regard him with disdain. Evn Gowon would rather call ojukwu a rebel but neva a coward. Rebels r never cowards; wherever dayokanu got d idea he left d battle field. 2) All dose legacies aside d free education were not due to Awolowo. If u guys are ignorant,say so. Today, igbos are d most educated. D tym many of us stopped sch because of d immediate post-war period has passed, hasnt it? 3) Awolowo was extremely tribalistic, @ dat initial stage of Nigeria, many odas had more of nationalistic views eg H. Macauley, Zik, Okpara, he was busy being tribalistic and had to die miserably for dat. 4) @ Tolexander, if u feel starvation and blockade policies because of his hope to b made a president but later trashed is victorious for u, den u too are on a long thing. 5) for dose of u trying to compare zik and Awo, stop d madness. He is Zik of Africa n d oda is Awo of Yoruba, not to say its a bad title o. If u ppl think we should do a standing ovation for d person dt named d naira, den wat will be done for d one dt got 9ja independence in d most civilised manner in Africa? Yet u have refused to explain y he killed himself, oh sorry,anoda victorious thing. If na so life dey pain una, make una go hug transformer one by one. |

Rebels r never cowards; wherever dayokanu got d idea he left d battle field.a man can be both a coward and a rebel bt the same time. Where was ojukwu when his deputy was surrendering? Why didn't he wait to surrender before fleeing to ivory coast? ngozievergreen:it is called strategy. If Ojukwu had the chance, he would do better. Rather he chose propaganda as his weapon. ngozievergreen:please stop bothering me with the same thing over and over.

Degis: p He was given the option of jail or exile by IBB,for commiting treason against IBB government like he did the first time against tafawa balewa,the coward rather than face the consequences of his action,chose to take his life. That's the pathetic life of a man some people termed the 'sage'. |
