Ojukwu is the people’s General. A hero since the Biafran war and till the dissolution of the fake geographical expression called Nigeria. The name Ojukwu would forever outlive Nigeria. A hero till the end of days A hero already buried with full military honors A hero named after the following edifices 1. Hero beer (Onitsha) 2. Hero’s Square (Owerri) 3. Odumegu-Ojukwu University (Igbariam) 4. Odumegu-Ojukwu Road (Owerri, Onitsha,, Enugu etc). 5. Ojukwu Library(Owerri) 6. Ojukwu Bunker (Umuahia) 7. And many more 4 Likes 3 Shares

Deepfeel: A general never abandons his troops in the heat of battle, that's the classic definition of cowardice. What happens if your enemy decides to slaughter your troops and your people who you purport to be protecting. The Nigerian civil war was not the first civil war in modern times, but it is the only war the general commanding a side ran away in the heat of battle. During the US civil war, Robert Lee who was the president of the south and the general that commanded the southern army personally surrounded and negotiated the terms of the surrender, he did not run away because of fear for his life. If we are to even accepted your warped history that Awolowo commited suicide, then that is far more bravery than running away. If IBB wanted to kill him and Awo decided to commit suicide rather than be killed or humiliated, that is an act of bravery. History had it that cleopatra of Egypt choose to commit suicide that allow herself to be captured by Octavian, and be humiliated. She is celebrated for that act of bravery till today. A general that is afraid to die is not worth to be called a General. 23 Likes 7 Shares |

LarryBee1k: What you should remember is that Ojukwu called all the Chiefs of and heads of all the provinces to a meeting and they voted and asked him to declare the Eastern Region a separate country. Compare that to Lugard who sat in a house in Northern Nigeria and created Nigeria with a stroke of the pen without calling on anyone 2 Likes |

gidgiddy:Which law mandated the Chiefs and heads of all the provinces to be able to declare independence? Which law gave Ojukwu powers to call all Chiefs and heads of all the provinces? Do the process legislative powers? Believe me lord Lugard's action was far more legitimate than Ojukwu's action. Lord Lugard had the mandate to amalgamate the northern and southern protectorates, because we had be conquered by the British and therefore submitted our sovereignty to the British crown. And lord Lugard was appointed by the Crown. Now tell me what give Ojukwu the legitimacy to call the Chiefs and heads of all the provinces in Eastern Nigeria to discuss secession, when he himself was just an appointee of the head of state and not a sovereign? 10 Likes |

wirinet: Really? So Lord Lugard had the mandate to create Nigeria because the British conquered the indigenous people of the land? Well if you believe that then you should have no problem understanding why Ojukwu and his people had to fight to preserve their sovereignty and not be in Nigeria Lugard created Nigeria by the barrel of gun, Ojukwu created Biafra by consultation, yet Lugard had more legitimacy because he came from Europe to rain bullets on your ancestors? Colonial mentality is truly horrible 3 Likes 1 Share |

wirinet:Read the bolded and kindly stop exposing your shallowness. Dude! Did you really study your Government in school?Which law mandated the Chiefs and heads of all the provinces to be able to declare independence?Which law gave Ojukwu powers to call all Chiefs and heads of all the provinces? Do the process legislative powers ? For your information, there exist no legislative nonsense in the military. Military rule is characterized by edicts and decrees. From Ironsi to Abdulsalami the military junta didn’t share powers with the Legislature. It is only in civilian rule that you have the separation of powers between the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature. Gowon in question summoned his cabinet and appointees the likes of Awolowo etc at his own wihims and caprices. That was the same way Ojukwu summoned the provincial heads and Chiefs of the Eastern region. So Ojukwu didn’t need any Legislature to summon the leaders of the old east.[/b] Believe me lord Lugard's action was far more legitimate than Ojukwu's action. Lord Lugard had the mandate to amalgamate the northern and southern protectorates, because we had be conquered by the British and therefore submitted our sovereignty to the British crown. And lord Lugard was appointed by the Crown.Military rule is a rule by the use of force, where military men hijacked power from the legitimate civilian rulers. They use sanctions to keep that power. Gowon’s leadership in question was illegitimate, same as that of Ironsi before him. Ojukwu himself, wasn’t appointed by Gowon and he Gowon had no power to remove him. It was left in the hands of the eastern house of assembly whom themselves have been illegally removed by Ironsi’s junta. However, the house of chiefs was from time to time consulted by Ojukwu in the scheme of things. If Gowon had the powers to rule and legitimize his junta in the eyes of the civilian populace, Ojukwu too had the same power to do likewise. 3 Likes 1 Share |

That Awolowo cause the starvation of your children despite that Robert Goldstein resignation letter exposed ojukwu. That Awolowo died of rat poison even though you guys no get proof or doctor report. That they killed you in west by yorubas That Yorubas seize your properties in west even though it is written everywhere that your properties were given back to you. Even many of your brothers that their parents had properties in west then testified to it. That ojukwu released awolowo despite video showing otherwise. That awolowo betrayed ojukwu even though we have been asking you guys to show us the agreement they have. That biafran armies did not bomb casino cinema. Waiting for you. That 9 Likes 1 Share |
