why is ojukwu living up till date,,shouldnt he be charged for war crimes.?.He fought an avoidable war.,he was selfish and greedy due to the oil in port harcourt and akwa ibom.,

man shut the 4k up u idiot. What war crimes? Fool. We should hang bastards like OBJ, Katsina, Danjuma, Enahoro, Adekunle and let vultures feast on their dead rottened bodies if you have sense.

Oil in Awkaibom I didn't know Awkaibom was producing oil for Nigera then. DUMBASS

Oil in PH ehm is it our fault we have oil? So since we have oil we can't seceed and protect our region?

Go and get Ojukwu in Enugu and I gurantee u Enugu boiz will skin alive b4 Nnewi ppl arrive to finish you off.

^^^^^^
Udezue cease giving attention to that scalawag called BLUETOOTH . . . . . .He and his tribemen are always ranting out of jealousness because their bigoted Awolowo is dancing in hell while Odumegwu Ojukwu is chilling and kicking it real big at Enugu.

So he should be charged for crimes because he could not stand the northerners killing off his ppl for no reason.

@udezue
let me remind you;DURING THE BIAFRA WAR THERE WAS OIL IN RIVER STATES AND AKWA IBOM.& BOTH WERE STRONGHOLD OF BIAFRA DURING THE WAR.,both i dont why they dumped the biafra struggle,probably due to the defeat,,eh yah

Here you go again with unsubstantiated fallacies. One of the reasons that found Nigeria in a retrogressive projection is the filth laden propaganda being disseminated by the publishing houses in western region of Nigeria. I am sorry to say that most of your postulations are ill-informed conjectures. By the way, Awo went to prison about late 1962 or early 1963. Awo was already in prison when Midwestern region gained regional status in May, 1963.

Based on my knowledge of recorded events, Zik had known Awolowo’s political treachery from 1938 to 1979 elections. After 1959 federal elections, none of the contesting parties appeared to have won out right majority. Parties were engaged in coalition talks in order to emerge as partners with majority vote. Awolowo, as in the cases of 1938 and 1952, pulled his treacherous plots by sending Ayo Rosiji/S Akintola to Kaduna to strike a deal with Alhaji Bello of NPC and Chief S. O. Gbadamosi to Onitsha to strike a deal with Azikwe of NCNC.

When Bello and Zik realized that Awo was playing double prong game and up to no good politically, both men refused to go into alliance with Action Group.

What is unsubstantiated facts? Did NCNC not form a government with NPC? Was Awolowo not the leader of the House, while Akintola was the Premier of the Western Region?

Crisis in Western Nigeria - Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obafemi_Awolowo

Prior to independence, he was persuaded by prominent members of the Action Group to lead the party as Leader of the Opposition at the Federal Parliament, leaving Samuel Ladoke Akintola as the Western Region Premier.

Awolowo was jailed in 1964, here is my proof
Shortly afterward, in 1964, Awolowo and several others were charged and jailed for conspiring with some Ghanaian authorities under Kwame Nkrumah to overthrow the federal government. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obafemi_Awolowo

You ARE NOT  the repository of all knowledge as you may think you are. There are others on this forum with a brain and who also read. Stop acting like you had first hand knowledge of all events in Nigerian history.

You refer to the propaganda of the publishing houses in the west. So the opinions you have been spewing on this forum ARE what exactly? I have said it before and I say it again, you will argue for no reason other than to appear credible. You want us to disbelieve what is in print and believe you instead. Were you with Awolowo when he sent his emissaries to Bello and Zik? Please provide sources and stop arrogating all knowledge to yourself.

You also went off-tangent again; were we discussing when the mid-western region was given autonomy? What was the point of introducing that? Awolowo went to prison in 1964 and the mid-western state was created in 1963; so what can you deduce from that?

Ojukwu committed no war crimes. He did what anyone in his position should have done. I think the problem he had was strategy but thats my opinion. That war was not about oil.

Instead of claiming it is not a reliable source, would your cause not have been better served if you provided a MORE credible and reliable source. Why don't you try and disprove what I have served; at least I have provided something. It may not be credible to you but it may be to others who think first before acting.

There is no intent to embarrass you if I may plead with you to tread carefully with Wikipedia. Nonetheless if you want to continue to embarrass yourself, it must be you call. I would have endeavored to ignore your posts but it would not be good idea if such ill-informed conjectures should be left to the detriment of young Nigerians.

Contrary to your beliefs, I have never regarded myself as the repository of Nigerian history. However, I would audaciously reference the fact about Nigerian history which its veracity has been corroborated accurately. 

Please find time to disabuse your mind with the listed links.

The above does not detract from my argument. This debate was never about what year Awo went to prison. Depending on the source and interpretation, it could have been '62, 63, and '64. There is no embarassment in getting the year Awo went to prison wrong. 1963 or 1964?

My initial comment was about the Biafran strategies during the war. In trying to defend my opinion from your attack, I got side-tracked.

Thread is not about Awo.

Even with this, some demented goats will stIll blame Awo for Ojukwu's evidently egocentric psychotic failure. Biafra was doomed from the beginning.
