Enjoy your stay sir. cool

A true coward is that man that was languishing in prison and a Saviour came and rescued him and he promised his saviour that he will keep to his word but when he got home, he went back to same people that enslaved and imprisoned him .


A fool is the one who saw that the battle he was fighting was about to take his life yet he continued and perished

A wise man is he who sense danger approaching and flee into to see the end .

Are you talking about when Gowon released Awolowo from the prison? Well, Awolowo eventually had to join Gowon, not because he wanted to appreciate him but due to the stupid biafra invasion and attack on the midwest and Ore.

I hope you know the fool and coward is Ojukwu.

Like he was in our naira note? Even Zik, the beautiful harlot who ensured the "no secession clause" was put in our constitution had more honour than your ojukwu.

Ojukwu was a greedy coward who promised not to invade neutral ground yet invaded and attacked the Midwest, Ore and kept on throwing bombs in Lagos. A coward who committed 1 mil of his folks to death while he fled in a woman cloth to abidjan. A fool who would rather his biafran men have enough food to feed just so they could continue the war than ensure his people have food to feed. None of his biafran men looks like people suffering from starvation at the time they surrendered.

A greedy man who's all about annexing people's land without consulting them, he even went as far as to annex the Midwest land which was no part of the then Eastern state and was on the verge of annexing Ondo and Lagos until he met his waterloo and you dare criticise Awolowo who ensured Ore and the Midwest got liberated from the clutches of your greedy warlord? Lol. Even Ojukwu realised that he goofed because he was the one who reneged on his promise by attacking the midwest and ore, not Awolowo. He was even full of praise for Awolowo at the time he died and called him "the best president" Nigeria never had whereas he hated Zik and never attended his burial ceremony.

I am not a pro Biafra or pro Ojukwu but i don't like it when you guys always come here to call Ojukwu all sorts of names for whatever reasons.

If Abiola was wise like Ojukwu he'd probably be alive today but he was so full of himself and believed he can overpower the military but he died trying and his kinsmen traded over his death

We call out Ojukwu because the ibos would rather demonise Awolowo who had advised Ojukwu against going into war because the south wasn't ready for it and the fact that Nigerian military men had more of the Northerners than the southerners yet Ojukwu failed to see this but prefer to commit 1 mil ibo to their death.

But rather than call out Ojuwku for his suicide mission, ibos prefer to attack Awolowo who had no option than to join the war when Ojukwu reneged on his promise and started attacking the Midwest, Ore and Lagos. Did you expect Awolowo to sit down and watch all the mess and atrocities committed on his people by the biafra men, considering Ojukwu already promised him that he won't attack Neutral grounds. Even Ojukwu had no grudges against Awolowo after the civil war because he knew Awolowo stood for his people whereas Ojukwu didn't.

Two can not work together unless they agreed to it.

If my Igbo brothers are demonizing Awolowo for whatever role he played during the war, just ignore the person and he or she will get tired one day and move on .

Let me tell the truth which i believe was the reason behind the attack on Awolowo by the Igbos because it is widely believed that Awolowo was the brain behind the defeat of Biafra.

Almost all the strategies used by Gowon was believed to have been masterminded by Awolowo which led to death of many due to starvation and diseases.

My father and my uncle both lost all the money they had in banks before the war. Infact my uncle died on his way to Lagos because of that money.


So before you blame the Igbos, try and know why they are not happy with Awolowo

There are no doubts most Nigerians are moronically dull but to be intellectually dead is beyond the pale of comprehension. The last time I checked though, the defunct midwestern and western regions were integral part of Nigeria under Gowon that attacked eastern region. In addition, the governors of the aforementioned regions supported Gowon and were in locked steps with the defunct northern region. I guess you are foolishly lost on the dates accoding to English calendar. The western region provided the comfort zone for Gowon and soldiers from northern region. The Ejoor and Midwestern region provided the men, materials and training ground in Excravos, Midwestern region where LGO was nursed into 3MCDO. I hate to educate dumbass Nigerians but for the posterity sake, I shall call you silly attentions on the month of June 26, 1968 when 3MCDO under Adekunle launched amphibious attack against eastern region from Excravos, midwestern region. There were several such attacks launched by Gowon, Ejoor, Adebayo and Adekunle from Excravos and Lagos that Ubani (Boony) was captured about July 6, 1968.

Biafra retaliated with its thrust into midwestern region with aim to flush Gowon out of Lagos in western region in August 8, 1968. I guess if you have human intellect you can deduce that midwestern and western regions were not neutral since the regions provided men, material and launching pads for attacks against eastern region. You could seek the help of a toddler so that you can discern that both the months of June and July proceeded the month of August. Again, you are one of the reasons IPOB are hellishly bent on the actualization of Biafra or Republic of Igbo land. Who would want a goat as a compatriot?

So before you blame the Igbos, try and know why they are not happy with Awolowo

Awolowo joined the war after Ojukwu attacked the Midwest and Ore, not forgetting about the incessant bombing in Lagos by biafra. Awolowo had to interfere at that stage because he couldn't watch his people who weren't even part of the war in the first place yet Ojuwku kept on dragging Yorubas into the war by attacking us to make us feel the war and you expect Awolowo to fold his hand?

Besides, during the war, Nigeria through Awolowo consistently sent food relief to the ibos but the food relief were constantly hijacked by the biafra army to feed their men so as to continue the war. Awolowo kept on wandering why there was starvation in the east when food were constantly sent to them until he eventually found out about biafra hijacking these food reliefs. Eventually, he had no option than to stop sending these food relief because he was of the belief that if he stopped sending the food relief, the biafra men would stop fighting when they have nothing to eat and that will quickly end the starvation of the people. According to him and I quote "We can't continue to feed the enemies, I.e, the biafra army)" and thanks to him, it wasn't even up to a month after the food relief was stopped, the biafra men who didn't want to surrender at first, surrendered.

That's why we often call Ojuwku a coward. He and his men couldn't continue to live on empty stomachs yet expected his people to continue to live on empty stomach for the duration of the fight, even while the war drags on. As far as I'm concerned, Ojukwu and his biafra men fought no war rather it was the ibo people who fought the war, they were the survivors because despite the fact that they starved, they fought for their survival whereas Ojukwu and his men suffered no starvation.

Although the 20 pound policy was executed by Awolowo, he wasn't the one behind the policy. The policy was already planned and agreed upon in the house of assembly which Awolowo wasn't part of, all Awolowo had to do was to execute the policy because he was the minister of finance at the time. Moreover, ibo men who claimed to have money in the banks were asked to provide bank statement/details to prove their claim. Some were able to produce their bank details which proved their claim of money and reclaimed their money, like Ojukwu did with his money whereas some weren't able to, hence the 20 pounds policy. You don't expect banks to start giving whatever money every dick and harry claimed to have in the bank without any proof of it, right? Moreover, 20 pounds was a lot of money then.

The point is, it was not only the ibos that suffered during the war. Just as the ibo suffered casualties, there were also casualties in Lagos where biafra's incessant bombing was felt (the cinema house that was bombed is an example), the Midwest whom biafra army attacked, raped and looted and the attack on Ore. There were also loss among the soldiers, especially the battalions who drowned in river Niger after Biafra army severed the bridge. Hence, many people suffered casualties during the war yet the ibos always try to paint it as if they were the only ones who suffered casualties which isn't true.

Yet the North keep accusing Awolowo of being on the side of Ojukwu before he switched side with Nigeria, based on the fact that he asked the North military men to leave Lagos? Why did Awolowo ask the North and their military to leave Lagos if he wanted to be part of the war?

It was only after Ojukwu attacked the Midwest, Ore as well as the incessant bombing in Lagos did Awolowo join the war! Which leaders sit and fold hands while his people are being attacked in a war they weren't part of, in the first place?

And when did biafra invade the midwest? 1967! Yet you eediot is talking about an event in 1968 after Nigeria regained the Midwest region from biafra?
