Today in history: 9th Jan 1970 Col Ojukwu Escape from Nigeria as the Biafran Army Surrender to The Nigerian Army. It's an historical day for the Igbos as well as all Nigerian. How significant is today to you on your side of the divide ? How has today shaped Nigerian History ? |

On this day we learnt that war is not the way to go and fighting and killing your own brothers is really silly. We should learnt to approach issues in ways that are devoid of violence or bigotry, 3 Likes |

Today is as good a time as any to remember Ojukwu and the role he's played in Igbo history, but to us 30th of May is way more significant. But thanks OP. 1 Like |

He came back years after, after he was pardoned, to re-claim his properties while the fathers and grandfathers of many igbo nairalanders who fought in the heat of the war remained poor after loosing 3million of their people, but awolowo was generous by giving them £20 to prevent them from dying . The ojukwu coward later went ahead to contest for the presidency in the country he swore never to have anything to do with. 11 Likes 1 Share |

OYINBOGOJU: ^^^I don't think YOU are in any position to accuse any Igbo of cowardice!; use your tongue to count what's left of your rotting teeth (my take on an Igbo saying) and you'll understand what i mean! Ojukwu handed over to his second in command after a decision had been made to surrender. Did you expect him to hang around and be handed over -gift wrapped- to the Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba federal side whom i imagine would have been itching to get their blood soaked hands on his neck? I'm happy he didn't give them the satisfaction of capturing him at the time b'cos the evil those 'loving fellow countrymen' were capable of would make even Hitler red-faced with shame! Ikemba did the right thing! @OP: I still don't get your reason for starting this thread; unless of course you're a closet bigot and Igbo hater! 1 Like |

Ojukwu the rebel leader escaped alive from the siege of the nigerian army, why they could not capture him alive remains the biggest surprise a similar rebellion in Libya had gadfly begging for his life on his knees, some of the other players who tried to dream about rebellion in Nigeria were captured before they attempted to carry out their rebellion chief amongst them MKO Abiola who despite the backing of the world after winning the best organised election in Nigeria was captured alive while claiming his mandate and later murdered. Other people in this category who can only dream of rebellion like Awolowo, Diya, Obasanjo, olanrewaju, Adisa, were in their planning stages before the nigerian army finished their ambitious project. Awolowo twice dreamt of rebellion and was caught in the planning stages and paid disgracefully for it. 3 Likes |

We thank God Ojukwu avoided capture. He is a father figure to Ndi Igbo. After the war ended Igbos started to rebuild their lives and where glad they survived and that their suffering had ended. The Igbos were delighted when they learnt that Ojukwu had given Nigerian troops the slip. 1 Like |

OYINBOGOJU: If Ojukwu is called a coward what will you call the real cowards who spent time planning coups but never had the temerity to carry it out but instead were caught in the act of coup planning. The generals who cried on their knees before an army major something that even movie makers dared not to put on screen 3 Likes |
