Not likely. If this Peter Enahoro is the historically relevant journalist then this Peter Enahoro, aka "Peter Pan" was pro-Biafran/pro-East and anti-North and left Nigeria during the war out of anger (or possibly government persecution).

PhysicsQED,

Thanks for answering my question. My memory just reawakened to note that the Enahoro I was referring to was Mike Enahoro, not Peter Enahoro. I didn’t know anything about the “Peter Pan” journalist until I read your post.

Lol @ this rubbish. This is why it's a tragedy that any shameless worthless degenerate with a keyboard can fabricate history behind the veil of anonymity. In actual matter of fact, at the conference in Addis Ababa, the tone was supposed to be one of reconciliation, and gains were supposed to be made toward a cessation of hostilities. Then, Ojukwu, much to the revulsion and disgust of the head of this reconciliation meeting, Emperor Haile Selassie, launched into a massive, aggressive, hostile, damning speech the minute he was given the chance to speak. Ojukwu destroyed any chance at a cessation of hostilities by getting emotional and damning everything in sight, and refusing to yield an inch. Why would a group of people who have you cornered and retreating cease defeating you when all you offer is curses? All of these beer parlor historians of the civil war annoy the hell out of me. Enahoro had nothing to do with the failure of reconciliation at Addis Ababa. Enahoro went there, Ojukwu demonstated his oratory skills, and nothing changed.

@ CHOSENO4 AND UDEZUE,
Extreme bitterness can block reason. I believe u guys are too bitter to be objective when talking about the pain of Biafra. The food blockade was not used to starve children but as a tool to stop Biafran leaders from fighting, so as to prevent the loss of more lives. If these leaders had stopped fighting when they ran out of food no child would have starved to death. But instead of stopping, they decided the best way was to carry on fighting while the young and vulnerable starved to death.

When America dropped the atomic bomb on Japan and over 200,000 people were burnt to death, this made Japan surrender and the leader that took them to war did the honerable thing by committing suicide. This brave act by the Japanese Emperor  prevented the death of many more innocent lives. Japan too could have carried on figting like Ojukwu did, until millions more were killed.

Ojukwu should have done the honorable thing like the Emperor to save the innocent, but instead he chose to carry on fighting at the expense of starving Ndiigbo children and then ran away to save himself when the net was closing in on him. If anyone is to blame, please blame Ojukwu. We have to start taking responsibility 4 our actions.

RIP Pa Enahoro

This was my main point. Ojuwku too could have surrendered, especially when he knew there was no food to feed the young and vulnerable. This stubbornness led to starvation. The man as blood on his hands

Eziachi:

Subconsciously you might be referring to your about the keyboard picture. Can you produce a transcript of what you claimed happened in Addis Ababa, which too many of us never happened. Don't tell me you watch it on NTA as probably your parents are not born then. You should be telling us what happened at Aburi, where something was actually agreed upon and put down on paper instead of your phantom Addis Ababa narrative

fuke:

 Enahoro did not scuttle Aburi accord and the civil war was not about sovereign National conference either.

 It was about the greed of a few to corner the oil in Nigeria. No country would allow that. The Carks and  Enahoros  knew what would happen to them if Ojukwu had been allowed to go.  Then you would think Port-Harcourt was an Igbo town.

I am sorry to say this ,every thing is fair in war. Without the starving option the war would have pronged
longer and we would have lost many more souls.

The pogrom was senseless but  then the war was avoidable . Ikemba should take more of the blame.

This should not deny  Enahoro his full honor. He was a Nationalist to the end. May  his soul rest in peace

@onlytruth, mistakes are allowed, it`s no reason to call names. Please let`s be civil. Yes the Emperor didn`t commit suicide but he did order the surrender of Japan during the second WW, to prevent the loss of anymore Japan lives after the drop of the atomic bomb. This was my main point. Ojuwku too could have surrendered, especially when he knew there was no food to feed the young and vulnerable. This stubbornness led to starvation. The man as blood on his hands.

By the way it wasn`t your so called Yoruba`s that started the Biafra/Ojuwku obsession on this thread, Mr ethnic champion. 

RIP Pa Enahoro
