Ojukwu Addressing Students Of The University Of Biafra In 1967(pic) by gidgiddy: 9:34am On Sep 17, 2018 |
On May 30th 1967, Lt Col Emeka Ojukwu declared the Eastern Region as the Republic of Biafra. With this announcement it was no longer possible to call the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) by this name, it was renamed the University Of Biafra. In June of 1967, Ojukwu went to Nsukka to address the students of the University of Biafra. He told them that he had recently also addressed the students of the Enugu Campus. He reminded the students that the essence of Biafra was for the people to free themselves from the Northern Nigerian oligarchy that was out to enslave everyone in Nigeria. He told the students that Nigeria was likely to start war soon and ended his speech by shouting "be ready!" A Month after Ojukwu made this speech, the Nigerian Army invaded the Biafran border town of Gakem in Ogoja and the civil war started. 12 Likes 1 Share

ibedun:You will see Afonjas flood here, something they couldn't do when Awolowo took rat poison for liquor and Abiola got fed with another rat poison. These guys like dying disgracefully. I'm sure if they were the one fighting the whole country for just a day, all of them out of cowardice would have preferred taken poison to fighting. All Afonja race would have been wiped off. 27 Likes 2 Shares |

As it is right now, no army officer past and present is as intelligent and articulate as Ojukwu. The manner in which he speak alone is enough to convince any doubting Thomas that this guy is one of a kind. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

DrRasheed:That's how you One Nigeria addicts keep deceiving yourselves as if Nigeria is any better. Biafra is not Ojukwu's project. Biafra is a project of the people, by the people and for the people of BIAFRA. 19 Likes 1 Share |

Chai, so emotional. Ojukwu was a great man who saw tomorrow when his peers couldn't see beyond their noses!! If only the people of the Niger Delta knew what Nigeria would later become, if only the people of the middle belt knew how their ancestral lands would later be turned into killing fields, and if only the Yorubas were courageous enough to stand on what they believed in (remember that Awolowo and indeed the majority of yorubas wanted Oduduwa republic but we're afraid to challenge the North). They all wouldn't have ganged up against the Igbos and all these people would probably be enjoyed peace and progress but look at where we are today!! Indeed a coward dies many times before his actual death! Ojukwu has been vindicated, Igbos opting out and fighting to defend their land for good three years have been vindicated as well. Just take a look at the Nigeria Gowon and Awolowo among the rest fought to keep as one and tell me if it is worth it?? Well, they won the battle and yet still lost the fight because we are more divided today than we have ever been and the country is still headed for the rocks. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

This was when ojukwu was a terrorist like the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist useless leader kanu, But today ojukwu is my favorite igbo son after setting his brain in the right position. Maybe i will accept terrorist kanu as my friend after his resurrection, by then his brain must have be fixed in the right position. 1 Like 1 Share |
