It doesn't matter how the Nigerian Govt wish to honor him, for political reasons, a PDP Govt whose claws runs so deep in the SE will Honor Ojukwu, also, in the spirit of false reconciliation (without releasing the Biafran funds anyways!!), it all sounds politically correct so I can not fault the Govt on that.
Look at the Irony, when Ojukwu returned from exile, Shagari gave him a condition that he will bring the Ibos to NPN (a northern political party). Ojukwu shamelessly honored that agreement, another big act of cowardice because he doesn't want to loose his freedom.
He chose to be a Northern Houseboy

How can you align politically with your 13yr old enemy who took over 3million Biafran lives, just to get your freedom back? where in the world does it happen and you will get a title for that? Ojukwu could neither sacrifice his life nor his freedom for Biafra, which begs the question; DOES OJUKWU HIMSELF REALLY BELIEVE IN THE BIAFRA COURSE? or he is just using the Ignorant Biafrans to fuel his ambition?, the later is more likely though.
Biafrans need to take a chill pill and review their position on Ojukwu.

What would otherwise have been a beautiful thread, ruined by the OP's one moment of indiscretion! An open invitation for NL's tribal and ethnic jingoists to engage in their usual diatribes.

‘We’d have fought for sovereignty of Biafra’

By OLA AJAYI, IBADAN
HUNDREDS of angry military pensioners in the country Monday besieged the Oyo State Secretariat saying they regretted fighting against Biafran soldiers to ensure the unity of the country.

They said if they had known that the country would repay them in this wicked manner, they would have fought for the survival and sovereignty of Biafra.

The retired soldiers who spoke through their Chairman, Mr. Mr. Gabriel Oiakhena said, “we have been pushed to the wall. The families of over 500,000 soldiers who lost their lives in Biafra are suffering.

We who are alive are just living as destitute. Many of us have died because they did not have money to treat and fend for themselves. Senator David Mark has spent about twelve years and he has done nothing for us.

When the militants were pushed to the wall, they took up arms and fought with the last pint of their blood”.

Also speaking on the issue, another ex-soldier, Mr. Olatunji Johnson said they came to draw the attention of Federal Government to their 53 per cent unpaid arrears and other allowances.

To prevent breakdown of law and order, all gates leading to the secretariat complex were shut against the angry pensioners.

Armoured Personnel Carrier, five police Hilux Vans and scores of armed policemen were stationed at the entrance of the secretariat.

Displaying the injuries they sustained in the Biafran War and many placards condemning the discouraging attitude of the government, they said it was unfortunate that they were being treated in this inhuman manner after fighting for the unity of the country.

He said their mission to the office of Governor Abiola Ajimobi was to present a letter on their plight to him for onward delivery to President Goddluck Jonathan.

He said, “we will not allow the government to rest until our money and other entitlements are paid. Many of us are still being paid N10,000 as monthly pension while they are wasting millions over there. It is not fair”.

It is only a m0r0n who couldn't answer where the Onitsha blockade was but was in a hurry to brandish 500,000 Nigerian soldiers from Oyo state who died.
Your Inability to question what you believe in life makes you a sieve brain, pray your kids don't inherit that, it is a ticket to extinction.
People like you were not designed to last, it is a miracle you have lived this long.

What was the total Nigerian population at the time, to think that the Nigerian Government will commit 500,000 soldiers to its armed forces?
Do you know that presently at a population close to 170million people, a united Nigerian's standing army stood at 130,000, it was during the Boko insurgency that plans were made to increase it to 160,000, now for you to believe that a divided Nigeria then had as much as 500,000 soldiers in 1967, is a proof that, you have a small brain in an adult body, your brain was not designed to last beyond 10yrs, somehow, you managed to exceed that age, what we are witnessing today from you is the result of a deficit in brain development.

sorry bro!!

grafikii: Amazing pictures, at times you wished you lived in that era but the thought of being dead by now makes me smile.

Why is that you don't understand English? And you call yourself a proud igbo man. I hate to say this,but you suffer from a negative integer intelligent IQ. So because I cite a case of probability,of people having parents of different tribe;it should now be an object of vituperative attack... .Did I say my parents are of different tribes... You don't even understand semantics; and you say you are the product of a literally-powerful tribe. You should be ashamed of yourself. Before,you level such allegation on me,please define Bigotry... I am certain you don't know it...
If Nigeria disintegrates today,you think the South-south will follow you. Dummy!!!
