I can see you are clearly trolling guys online.

Mr. LabDna you said you have read all Awo book and he made no mention about Gowon releasing him.

Please I’m asking for the upteenth time, can you tell us the books you’ve read so I can ask you some certain questions from the topics in the book.

Just name any book. If you evade this question this last time, this will mean you have no iota of integrity and you deserve no response from sane minds.




I don't really have anything to prove to you. There is no burden for something that is as clear as daylight. The questions are simple but you are only interested in muddling up issues to sustain your revisionism which is already at a dead end.

Was Awo in prison in the Eastern region? Yes!

Was Eastern region under the direct command of Ojukwu! Yes!

Was Gowon legitimate in eyes of the Ojukwu and the East? No!

Did Ojukwu and the East take orders from Gowon? No!

Was it possible for Gowon to influence what happened in the East who saw him as illegitimate after killing Eastern officers! No!

Did Gowon command and control the police, prisons, and military in the East? No!

Who did? Ojukwu!

If Ojukwu controlled the Eastern military, paramilitary and prisons, then who unlocked the prison doors for Awo? Could it have been 'illegitimate Gowon' No!

Who did then? The man who controlled the Eastern military and administrative apparatuses, Ojukwu!

Anyone who can't get this simple issue very clear after breaking it down like biscuit-bones, is a lost cause. Revisionism can't work in this issue.

BTW, this is the one of Awo's book in my office right now in one of branches the others are at home.

from my own understanding , who ever ordered the release of the other 1966 coupist like Ifeajuna, Nzeogwu ,Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna,Major Tim Onwuategwu,Captain Oji ordered the release of Awolowo ., they were all held up in prisons in the East for treasonable felony and were released same period by the same person.

The great Yoruba tribe owes these losers nothing, ever wonder why these rejected set of people can't keep there mouth out of our affairs? it's because of our development; thanks to Pa Awolowo

Even there leader Azikiwe ( who obviously put them in their current predicament) couldn't resist the prowess till the extent that he came to contest for election in our region; who does that, why would a supposed leader abandon his own backward for another Man's?

I wouldn't be surprised if the bunch of retards, slow and demented fellows ranting on this thread makes a living in the SW

y'all will come to our land to hustle, eat our black Amala and ewedu speak our language fluently and yet still come online to speak I'll of us, isn't that madness?

Yoruba is arguably the best tribe in Africa ( maybe the Zulus comes close), no one can bring us down

even if Ojukwu was the one that released Awolowo? and so.. Our very own Awolowo was so great that he was acknowledged in the hottest movie series In the world at the moment, money heist.

So who released Obasanjo ? What is the name of the Governor that pardoned and released him?
At some point in 1967 a decision was made for soldiers to RETURN to their region of ethnic origin and that is how it came to be that Igbo soldiers in the Nigerian Army were repatriated to the Eastern region
In August 1966 that had not happened. The Army in the Easter Region was muliethnic and so all this speculation of Federal Government not being in control in the East is just speculation.
This was the same with the Customs,Prisons and so on. You seem to Imagine that the Army in August 1966 in the East was the same as the Biafran Army .It was the Nigerian Army full of non-Igbos

Of cos awolowo pledged loyalty to Gowon once he crossed to western region ...so this video was made to sale his story

We were in a military regime ,coup failed in the eastern region ,tell me how Gowon had control of the prision to release awolowo from calabar move him all the way to Lagos with ojukwu getting the information and trying to stop it
why are u wasting time replying that illiterate. Awo locked up in the east released by gowon, isnt that the most stupid argument.

yorubas and their penchant for lies.

awolowo even thanked ojukwu publicly for his release. he was hosted in Enugu, where he declared that if Biafra broke away, the west had no choice than to follow.

only for the master liar to cross over to the west and turned coat.

attempting to rewrite history is borderline INSANITY.

Ukraine as a case study has many tribes which include the Slavs, antes, bukk e.t.c

You're a complete fool, so Gen. Buhari the chief commander cannot release a prisoner kept in Abia prison?

in this case Gowon was the head of state, he has the right to release Awolowo, Gowon was more powerful than your coward Ojukwu who disguised as a woman after puting millions of Igbos in trouble.

You see why you afonjizi mupets are brainless? Gowan as HOS wasn't recognised by Ojukwu. With the deaths in the North the SE broke away from Nigeria and was recognised as a sovereign nation by other countries. With their Own currency,Anthem and mannerisms.

How can Gowan release a man held in another country? Gowan should have freed Banjo who Ojukwu executed. You people are pathetic...spits

Yoruba GET SENSE!

That is a prison cloth. Awo was wearing a prison cloth and meeting up with Gowon the same day he released him.

I am even tired to keep spoon-feeding grown up men. Haba, are you denying the New York Times publications too?

The Eastern region was under the absolute control of Ojukwu when Awolowo was released from Calabar prison, as a matter of fact there was near total severance of all forms of Federal presence and control in the East as Ojukwu simply refused to recognize the government of Gowon... with these simple facts in context, how the fucck could Gowon have secured the release of Awolowo from the East without Ojukwu( the Military governor of the East, and by all standards the only Rebel figure at the time) getting involved? stop boring is with these revisionist tales already you mo.ron.
when was Awo released? When did ojukwu start his rebellious act? Pls just answer these two questions.

Useless video that doesn't prove anything. Gowan should have stopped the death of Banjo that ojukwu executed. Shameless post by a weak Yoruba wannabe writer.

LegendHero:
I was involved in an argument with a guy tonight on Nairaland and he was so brainwashed that he believed Ojukwu released Chief Awolowo from prison. Even when I tried showing him the actual prints of the August 5, 1966 edition of the New York Times Newspaper, he still doubted the truth in that assertion.

Most of these guys have been brainwashed by their fore-bearers that Awo betrayed them and their elders made sure they plant the seed of hatred in their children born and unborn by telling them Ojukwu released Awolowo from prison. Many of the folks on the other side still believed this and I think it is now time to kill that false narratives that have been peddled for over 5 decades.

I hope this truth resonates forever among the Awo antagonists born and yet unborn that have been emotionally brainwashed that Ojukwu released Chief Awolowo from prison by their fore-bearers.
