I don talk am,all of una be mumu,na your own even worry me pass. Can you even believe yourself,so you're telling me Ojukwu's life was greater than millions of your grandfathers and mothers he wasted,which kind sense be this for God's sake? Ojukwu was a rookie general who did not evaluate the collateral damage of the war he went into,even though he fought against all odds(kudos to him), but you don't fight a war you can't win,its a normal principle. Even after fighting,the Chinese will always say 'death before dishonour',meaning I will rather die than be disgraced. If Ojukwu was really fighting a just or general cause, answer the following questions (1) why run away when connered? (2) Why run away after leading millions of your people to death? (3) Why come back to contest election in the same country he wanted out from? (4) Why collect military pension from the same country he hated? I can go on and on asking questions you have no answers to. You claimed he was revered by his people,Why did the same people reject him at the polls on three occasions?

Ojukwu staying back to die would not have changed anything but give you Nigerians something to cheer about. Ojukwu was not abiut to cheer you people up.

After the war, Ojukwu came back and accepted 'one Nigeria', and you are asking why he should not enjoy his rights as a Nigerian by contesting elections and collecting his pension?

So when Ojukwu was fighting for Biafra, he was the enemy. When he accepted Nigeria, he is still the enemy?

In my opinion then, Onwuatuegwu is the legend and hero of Biafra.

He was.

wow, he aint even a member of ipob. he is an administrator in nigeria. wow. wow. wow

Yoy dont have to be a member of IPOB to believe in Biafra

Thank God he came home alive and healthy

Lol, how did your father, a Yoruba man fight for Biafra? Just because of likes you're claiming what your father cannot do and will never do? Ok continue

codemaniacs:




the f:ulanis were the winners of the war... why are you guys so ignorant Ojukwu never let emotions get the better side of him because he was under orders from the kolonialists... what type of person would have oil, fertile land and millions of graduates that are needed to boost an economy and still go to war... the civil war was just a ploy for the entire southern Nigeria to lose control over their resources...

the b:iafran currency was called b:iafran POUND... which is enough indication that b:iafra had kolonial backing but ignorant people like you guys can't read between the lines... the kolonialists have always wanted to get rid of the y:orubas and since b:iafra couldn't achieve that they made the country use a unitary system to subjugate the entire south Nigeria..



O:jukwu was fighting to subjugate entire south Nigeria and not to liberate anyone... If o:jukwu was fighting for freedom why would b:iafra use pounds as its currency

you guys need to learn how to read between the lines

i even think ojukwu didnt wanted only nigeria but the ol africa to start something new after colonization like hitler...the way he maneuvered his troops was very strange..ojukwu didnt think defensive,he started offensive and giving out all resource rights to strangers...

very strange moves...

he only became defensive when his troops were retreating to the east..

TRUTHTOPOWER:


Discretion "to run from battle" exercised after death of about 2 million of your own people is nothing but wickedness laced with cowardice. Assuming Awo and Abiola chose to fight like your hero, I guess Yorubas will be talking of £20, Kwashiokor, genocide, marginalisation, secession. Why Awo and Abiola would have the likes of Bianca as widows and fat estates for their children. go on brother, I suppose some people are to pay for their leaders "heroism" with the blood of the followers. Funny enough Kanu's own heroism is already being paid for again with blood. We don't envy your place as the canon fodder of your heroes. I rather want my hero yo die for me!

My friend, have you heard about the cliche: 'no dead heroes'? I bet you haven't. There is even a movie titled after this cliche.
Only enlightened people know that a hero is better alive than dead. Ask Wole Soyinka, David Mark and Tinubu who ran away from Abacha into exile. They recognized the principle of self preservation.

It still beats my imagination why someone who killed himself through the most ignominious way should be regarded highly. I believe it must be out of collective idiocy by people who believe their heroes should commit rat poison suicide without anyone taking up the gauntlet in their dead heroes' place.

Sanchez01:

As a general, he should have stayed back. It's like seeing a ship captain abandon his ship. In Japan, Samurais and war Generals would perform a feat called Seppuku, a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. The Seppuku takes place when a Samurai or a General fails and while Ojukwu was never Japanese, fleeing was the height of cowardice after sacrificing two million potential young lives while he took his children with him to Abidjan.

At the end of the day, the near three million deaths were for nothing because the same man responsible for their deaths returned to the country a Nigerian and even contested for the Presidency. Calling Ojukwu a coward is an insult to true cowards.

You Nigerians have been brainwashed to believe that Ojukwu caused the death of 3 million people. The truth is that it was Nigeria that killed 3 million people. The only tning Ojukwu did was declare the independence of his people which is noble.

You Nigerian were hell bent on looking for free oil money and came to fight for it. The war Nigeria fought was never about unity, it was all about subjugation. When you call someone a brother, you dont go and fight him just because he said he is moving out of your fathers compound. It is only someone looking to enslave another that will be fighting war to be united.

Im proud of Ojukwu. He fought for our independence for 3 long years. I cannot begrudge him for leaving in the end when the center could no longer hold. The only people that would have benefitted from Ojukwu staying back to die were Nigerians and Ojukwu was wise enough not to give Nigeria that satisfaction.

enemyofprogress:
he made millions of innocent of your people to be killed for nothing, abandoned them and ran away, which kind hero be dat? Abeg make we hear word Jo. When you talk of hero, Mandela comes to mind

He made millions if people to die? Was it not Nigeria that killed those millions? Is it a must that Nigeria must fight? If Nigeria cared about millions of lives, why not conduct a referendum? Nigeria is just the creation of the white man, why fight for that when you can put it to a vote?

Nigeria killed millions for free oil money. In the end, that oil money never helped Nigeria

ngeneukwuewuGOAT:
UR OWN ATE OTAPIAPIA AND DIED A HUMILIATING DEATH. EWU

It only takes a bold man to die instead of running away. Hitler preferred to commit suicide instead of running away. Awolowo is a very strong man. And I respect him for it.

But what has your own leader done, he left your father, mother and your entire generation to rot at the battle front and he ran away with his own children.

If you are stupid enough to follow KANU to start a war, he will leave you to rot and die like a useless chiicken at the battle front and he will run away with his pretty wife and kids.

How many of your family members died in ojukwu's war? Innumerable, right? I guess that is why you are so pained.

What you do not know is that Yoruba's still see everyone as Nigerians than the Ibos and Hausa's. So if they did not revolt stupidly by using tribal means but rather revolted as Nigerians and requested him to be immortalised years after shows that we are more sensible. For your information we are more glad than any other tribe that Abacha died too meaning no poo was accepted by the Yorubas.

All of you agitating for Biafra are rather walking with your heads hence can't think nor see. Rather that to start holding your LG chairmen and Governors and all elected accountable, you all are playing to the gallery just like in the days of Ojukwu which made many gullible ones who couldn't differentiate between bravery and stupidity died.

There is still time to start walking with your legs and thinking with your head

Who caused it? Nigeria caused it by not keeping to the Aburi agreement.


Who started it? Nigeria started it when they fired on the Biafran border town of gakem in Ogoja on the 6th of July 1967

Obviously you know nothing about the war. Oil was never part of the war. For your information, States that have oil are not even igbo, nor Ibo Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa. Igbo lands in them was declared by Obasanjo in year 2000. If you don't know, go and ask Ojukwu and you will see that he will own up that he stupidly led his people to war to satisfy his ego

blame your brother for the death of your people

wingman:
Ignorant fools will continue ranting over what they do not know or understand. Do you all think that as shrewd as Igbos are they will easily forgive and elevate Ojukwu to the status of a legend if he truly ran away?
The worst fate and humiliation that would have befallen Igbos would be for Nigeria to capture or kill Ojukwu. The man was practically bundled into the plane in Ulli airstrip because he never wanted to leave. Just as declaration of Biafra was the collective will of Igbos, so too was Ojukwu 's departure for Ivory coast.
You ignorant kids can continue writing all the rubbish you want cause you do not know or understand what the man represents to Igbos.

are u saying all d starving woman & children of biafra urge him to escape,flee with his children like a coward?mbanu!

I see Nnamdi Kanu as a Chinese version of Ojukwu! You see all those his "GRA GRA"? Dnt worry the cat will soon run!

That's why we need to stop Nnamdi Kanu now so that in 50 years time our own grandchildren will not be viewing photos of Nnamdi Kanu and his kids in exile at England after 5 to 10 million must have died from an avoidable war of secession.

what do u mean virtually ended?shld a soldier b afraid to die for his country?was his brave deputy brig. philip effiong slaughtered?wher others biafran soldiers kill after d war ended?

Lets not forget that back when the civil war started there were no states, only Regions and provinces.

Lets not also forget that Ojukwu declared Biafra because Gowon broke the terms of the Aburi agreement by unilaterally dissolving the Regions and creating states.

Lets not forget that even after Ojukwu declared Biafra, Nigeria could have still gone down the road of referendum rather than war which Ojukwu was open to.

But Nigeria chose the path of war, killed millions for economic and political benefits. 50 years on, Nigeria is more divided than ever and has regressed much more.

If Nigeria had worked as a nation after the civil war like America worked after its own civil war then maybe one would have something against Ojukwu.

Nigeria did not work which means that both Ojukwu and Kanu were right to try to get their people out of an unworkable union.

potent5:

To you he might be a traitor, but to me he is a great man. Regarding the Ikemba a great man or traitor depends on the side you are on.

The first high profile traitor to be convicted in Nigeria was Awolowo; he was convicted for trying to topple the government of the day in the 60s. He had treason running in his blood and eventually killed himself just to escape the consequences of another treason committed by him in the 80s

Your definition of a great man is skewed and partial...

Ojukwu d bull swore to go to war with biafrans and die by their side.

Only for him to lead his blind entourage to the slaughter house and hand to his enemies, his father's machete...

Left to me you are all d same...you won't hesitate to abandon ur fellow kinsmen when the pan garners more heat.

To think u can call such a coward ur hero is the height of ur shameless stupendity.

Biafrans are not one...clearly proven by Ojukwu himself...

Even if u do secede, you lot will end up killing each other like the animals u really are.
