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.

I just don't get the way you keep twisting the narrative, making sound as if Ojukwu sacrificed his people. You are exactly the kind of breed the Nigerian govt desires and that is why they removed history studies from our school curriculum.
Millions of Igbos did not die because of Ojukwu. On the contrary, Ojukwu saved several millions of Igbos from dying. Tens of thousands of Igbos had already been massacred in the north in June 1966 and it was only a matter of time before the people you worship extended the killings to the south east and south south. It was Ojukwu's heroics and courage in saying enough is enough that saved millions. Go to Asaba and you will find out what the people you worship did there, killing any male in sight. Up till today Asaba is still reeling from the shock of it. And this was done to them because they were shouting one Nigeria. Regardless of what South East went through during the war, their losses cannot be compared to the Asaba massacre.

If not for Ojukwu, Igboland may have become a conquered territory occupied by the hausafulani today.

Pls go and do your research.

I hate to reply your likes on issues that you are apparently ignorant of.
But I will do this for the benefit of those who interested in the contents of trending topics.
1. You accused Yorubas of worshiping the north.
2. Your lot accuse Yorubas of not supporting secession
3. Your lot blame Nigeria for the war.

On your first accusation.
From 1950s to 1999. Igbos were the ones in government with the north playing second fiddle. First Republic Zik was a ceremonial president. Balewa was the PM with all the Executive Powers. In the second Republic again. Shagari was the Executive president. Ekweme the vice. In 1999 Yorubas rejected the PDP as a northern contraption the igbos abandoned Ojukwu and went with the North. so tell me who had been worshiping the north with votes? The first alliance between north and west was 2015. But you forget your history of political subservience to wine about Yorubas status in the present govt. We should have stayed with GEJ and be content with just 2 substantive ministers. Omobola Johnson and Adèsina.

You accused Yorubas of not supporting secession. I will let your forefathers answer you from the grave
In 1953 the NPC under the leadership of my good friend, the late Sardauna, threatened to secede from the federation unless their 6-point proposals were adhered to. I had to use personal diplomacy. We had been personal friends since 1940. So, I saw Sir Ahmadu Bello and prevailed upon him that the unity of this country was greater than himself and myself and the other people too helped so that the North shifted grounds and agreed and so the country was saved. That was in 1953.
Again, however, when the 1954 constitution conference started, my good friend, Chief Obafemi Awolowo tabled a motion to the effect that in the new constitution, provision should be made that any state which feels like seceding should do so. I was opposed to it and said ‘no’ and said that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual. That was when we began to use that expression - ‘The Indivisibility and perpetuity of the federation’ - and that to secede would amount to treason. And so, a debate ensued.
Zik and his Igbo travellers won and Nigeria became indissoluble till today!

You blamed Nigeria for the civil war.
As per legal principle of indissolubility established by Zik, Igbos gave Nigeria the legal armour to prevent secession at all cost. Igbos killed leaders of other regions and celebrated the killings in the streets of the North. Ironsi promulgated Decree No 34 of 1966 abolishing the autonomy the region's had been enjoying. There is something about laws of warfare, it is called casus belli. cause of war. Each party to a war has a reason for the war. you have yours the north have theirs. at the end Nigerian law prevailed against Ojukwu. So you have a choice before a war. plan to fight and when you are starved run away with millions of dead bodies in your wake. or avoid war through international arbitrament. see Cameroon Vs Nigeria.

So as per our documented history of 60 years the east have been the ones worshiping the north. The West were in opposition to both the North and the East
as per who caused the war.
Ojukwu caused it. With his stubbornness. If he knew how to run. He should have done that earlier. If fought gallantly to the end he would join those who died for the cause they believed in. cowards!

Does Moses instigate hate speeches, hatred for Egyptians and does Moses asked Israelites to kill other tribes? Keep deceiving yourself. You will tell me if Moses called the Israelites pigs and idiots.

Araoyeolaoluwa:
I'm tired of this people telling everyone who cares to listen how Nigeria government marginalized them. Were they not taught basic Nigeria history in sch? It was their son, Nnamdi Azikwe, who was the first Nigerian president who was, ironically, toppled by their other son, Aguiyi Ironsi, in the first Nigerian coup. In that coup a lot of prominent Yoruba and Hausa people were killed including S.L Akintola and Sadauna of Sokoto but Azikwe who was the president was spared. When they were paid back in their own coin they started crying foul.

toofit007:
my answer is yes, I believe you asked the question because you have not watch the video so go ahead and watch it then you will realize that it effectively address that trash you wrote. my friend go and get wisdom but above all get understanding.

Thegamingorca:



Ojukwu is a traitor...it's only because u ppl are lily livered that it took this long for the chosen one to be born or reincarnated again.


U ppl are such dumb fools

suremanpatriot:
my friend you must be a toddler,because am sure you haven't seen war to understand wht 2years of raging mortal combat feels like. Why not join the army and go test ur liver in sambisa forest for a week instead of running your fowl mouth abusing your elders. Is lik you reason with your anus. If Chief Ojukwu had given up himself to be ambushed lik the way they did to Gen.Ironsi,the so called biafra would be long silenced and crushed forever. You dare call Ojukwu a coward because you lack decorum to address a hero.

"I, Major-General Phillip Efiong, Officer Administering the Government of the Republic of Biafra, now wish to make the following declaration: That we affirm that we are loyal Nigerian citizens and accept the authority of the Federal Military Government of Nigeria. That we accept the existing administrative and political structure of the Federation of Nigeria. That any future constitutional arrangement will be worked out by representatives of the people of Nigeria. That the Republic of Biafra hereby ceases to exist."

At the time of the surrender, Effiong believed that the situation was hopeless and that prolonging the conflict would have led only to the further destruction and starvation of the people of Biafra. At that time Effiong said, "I am convinced now that a stop must be put to the bloodshed which is going on as a result of the war. I am also convinced that the suffering of our people must be brought to an immediate end." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Effiong

Run away soldier bad commander, coward!!!

laribari:


You that was saying rubbish the other day about the great ojukwu who gave you reasons to even know that name biafra, so what will you say about kanu now?

Terrible commander, coward and run away leader.

Let him come out of hiding. Kanu has brainwashed all of you.

fk001:


What are you saying

laribari:


You insulted ojukwu the other day and called him a coward and a run away soldier. Kanu has done the same thing ooo. The kanu most of you call a brave man is on the run now.

My grieve was that u called ojukwu names and a coward that he ran away but kanu has done same too. Eventually they will pick him. They have his parents so he will have to come out of hiding.
