I hope the people agitating for biafra can learn from this. This man was a visionary. He understood that sometimes you have to be diplomatic when dealing with the enemy in other to save the lives of your people. And he was killed for it by his igbo people. The same ojukwu that ran away for his dear life after forcing little children into war. Learn from history. Everything should not be by gra gra. 29 Likes 1 Share |

Do not rewrite history, ifeajuna was a saboteur to the biafran cause, he was a. Zikist with high nationalistic views on one nigeria, that's wwhy he partook in the coup, like the person above me said, ojukwu made an error with banjo and unfortunately the igbo men couldn't enforce his orders to banjo to overrun lagos. Their decison to camp at ore was the single act of undoing for the war, yet we have to think. If ojukwu had intrests in protecting his people from the pogroms in the north, what was his interest in attempting to unseat the nigerian government by attacking lagos.........food for thought 16 Likes |

We Igbos aren't cowards, if I were my leader ojukwu, Na for face I will order them to shoot the fvvkers sef. Their betrayal led to the death of millions of biafrans and one op is here writing rubbish as if we don't read history books 5 Likes 1 Share |

Eddygourdo:Answer is simple, capturing the seat of power in Lagos will give him a better bargaining chip. Remember several meetings were held in Ghana and it gave birth to aburi accord which gowon vehemently refused to implement. So had Biafra republic capture Lagos, we would have been celebrating 59yrs this year 5 Likes |

Ifeajuna, Banjo and co are betrayers and saboteurs and for the record my hero OJUKWU took a necessary decision I will always cherish.

[b]He had co-led a military coup in January 1966 in which, according to an official but disputed police report, he shot and killed Nigeria’s first prime minister. The coup failed but Ifeajuna escaped to safety in Ghana, dressed as a woman and was driven to freedom by a famous poet. Twenty months later, he was back, fighting for the persecuted Igbo people of eastern Nigeria in a brutal civil war that broke out as a consequence of the coup. Hmnn?! Great lesson learnt. The lesser Igbo pole undercut Igbo causes and Igbo brethren, the faster the emancipation and self-determination struggle. |

Icon4s:''ifeajuna was also implicated in the case''... Thats where i smell your sentimental bias. He was a visionary unlike the mumu biafrans who couldnt see the future because they had always believed everyone wants to rule them. They were their own doom. Thats why they died like chickens. Everything na gra gra. And thats what some are still clamouring for now. 24 Likes 2 Shares |

Biafrans are senseless and stu.pid. If you can march on your own cloth, surely you can tear off another man's. Talking of betrayer, these fools keep mentioning Banjo's name every time they argue and systematically mute about Ifeajuna and co. You are your own enemies and history will soon repeat itself. 17 Likes |

I wish we had more pictures of Ifeajuna..i rushed to open the thread hoping to see new pictures of him. I have always been fascinated with the young plotters of the 1st coup. I want more insight into their personal lives and more pictures of Nzogwu, Ademoyega, Okafor, Anuforo, Chukwuka, Obienu, Onwuatuegwu. 3 Likes |

Ifeajuna and three fellow officers were accused by their own leader, General Emeka Ojukwu, of plotting against him and the breakaway Republic of Biafra. They denied charges of treason: they were trying to save lives and their country, they said, by negotiating an early ceasefire with the federal government and reuniting Nigeria. They failed, they died and, in the next two and a half years, so did more than a million Igbos. One can safely conclude that Ojukwu led his people to slaughter like chickens. Ojukwu murdered Ifeajuna and millions of Biafrans. 20 Likes |

Eddygourdo: Good question. However, in war, you have to capture the enemy's capital to attain victory. The enemy can never negotiate unless you have his capital city. It was a good military move but a sorry political one calculating from the point of the reasons for the war. |
