*Seven Lies The Nigerian Media Have Been Telling Against Ojukwu For 50 Years.*

The Nigerian media, particularly those of the North and west, have consistently propagated a series of lies against late Biafran Warlord, *Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu(IKEMBA NNEWI),* for the last 50 years since the end of the war. Some of these lies have assumed a life of their own. I'm here to debunk 7 of these lies so that people may know the truth .

1) *That Ojukwu lost no family member in the war:*

Contrary to popular belief that Ojukwu lost no relations to the war, Ojukwu lost his own brother. Ojukwus younger brother, Tom Bigger, died while fighting in the Nsukka sector of the war

*2)That Ojukwu never visited the war front:*

Not only did Ojukwu visit the front several times, he even personally led "operation Igwuruta" that cleared Nigerian forces from Oguta. He is a front war General unlike Yakubu Gowon who was commanding from Dodan Barracks.

*3)That Ojukwu forced the minorities of the Eastern Region into Biafra without Consultation:*

Before Ojukwu declared Biafra, he convened the "Eastern Nigeria Consultative Forum", a body that comprised all the chiefs, provincial heads and trade union leaders of the 20 provinces that made up the old Eastern Region. They met in Enugu and voted overwhelmingly for the Eastern Region to become an independent country and mandated Ojukwu to declare Biafra. When you compare this to Nigeria which Lugard created in 1914 without even giving notice to anybody, you begin to understand the hypocrisy.

4) *That Ojukwu was not senior to Gowon:*

Gowon was commissioned an officer in 1956 while Ojukwu was in 1957. However, Ojukwu joined the civil service at Udi in 1955. When Ojukwu was commissioned in 1957, his commission date was backdated to 1955 to reflect when he joined the civil service. This made Ojukwu to become senior to Gowon.

*5)That Ojukwu dressed like a woman to escape Biafra:*

Ojukwu left Biafra via Uli Airport. Why would Ojukwu disguise himself as a woman to go to an Airport in an area still under his control? Does that make any sense? Besides, people like NU Akpan, AA Madiebo and Philip Effiong have all written in their books how they escorted Ojukwu in a convoy to the Airport.

6) *That Ojukwu was a coward for fleeing Biafra:*

The Oxford dictionary defines a coward as "a person who lacks the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things". Had Ojukwu wanted, he could have used his position to negotiate a top position in Gowon's government. Had Ojukwu wanted, he could taken his father millions and retired to any country in the world. Instead, Ojukwu fought a 3 year war of independence against impossible odds, against a much larger and better equiped enemy. In the end when he could not continue, he exited the scene as the alternative would have been to wait to be killed. Ojukwus bravery is in his will to declare the independence of an oppressed people and fight with for 3 years. Anyone who thinks he is a coward for not "staying back to be killed" is someone who is ignorant

7) *That Ojukwu caused the war/declared war:*

Ojukwu did not cause the war and he never declared any war. Contrary to the lie(s) peddled against Ojukwu, Ojukwu actually tried to prevent war. While Igbos were being killed all over Nigeria, Ojukwu appealed for calm and protected Northerners in the East. Ojukwu even risked his personal safety to meet Gowon in Aburi Ghana to prevent war by reaching an agreement. Despite Ojukwus best efforts to prevent war, Gowon still went ahead to break the Aburi agreement they signed, which left Ojukwu with no option than to declare Biafra. Throughout the war, Ojukwu travelled out for several peace meetings brokered by the international community, none of which Gowon bothered to attend. It was Gowon that caused the war by breaking the agreement they signed and it was he who declared war.

Biafra amaka

First off TL;DR nobody else wants to read your osu washed version of lies. History of war isn’t told by the losers lol. You lost, you do not get a chance to tell concocted revisionist tales.

We’ve read books and we know that Biafran soldiers abused the minorities of the Midwest region especially those they suspected of being sympathetic towards members of the federal cause, who Ojukwu himself tagged as mercenaries to be killed for public display. As a matter of fact he was hoping to catch some alive so he can torture them publicly to torment other minority groups who didn’t have a say whether they want to be Biafra or not.

Obviously, this is all pointless because we are focusing on wrong things such as rehashing events that happened 50+ years ago. Instead of putting our minds together to figure out ways in which we can move humanity forward and our communities forward as Africans.

What would reliving atrocities committed ages ago by people we don’t even know achieve again?

News Flash: Biafra is DEAD. Secession is unconstitutional, thanks to an Igbo man. It is never gonna happen! It’s TREASON. I feel sorry for you guys but that’s just the truth, so either play ball along with the rest of us and at least try to make this country hospitable for its citizens and the younger generation who have nothing to do with this mess, or you pack your bags and move to Ivory Coast like ur hero did. Either way Biafra is dead and it’s dead for good.

Why are you afraid and trying to derail this beautiful thread?

He's only trying to tell you about the absolute truth most of you would always deny.

Sugar quote..
See as e package the coward..
Ojukwu backed out from a war he started.

He ran away. so no disguise run away into bravery.

HE LOST HIS DEPOSIT CONTESTING FOR SENATOR. THAT'S NOT A LIE.

In M.I ,Ojukwu was a coward who abandoned his people and fled to Ivory coast

So you are still on this after 50 years? You need medical examination. E be like say you don dey kolo. You no get job, abi you just wan dey unfortunate for your life ni?

You are showing advanced symptoms of chronic madness.

Didn't those that are telling you this 50 years story not tell you about the 17 years story? Didn't they tell you Emeka Ojukwu contested for the Presidency of Nigeria in 2003 and the Yoruba prodigal son Olusegun Obasanjo defeated your lord Emeka Ojukwu in all the 11 South-South and South-East Biafran States? In that same election, Muhammadu Buhari also trounced Emeka Ojukwu for the second time by coming Second hehund Obasanjo after whipping his(Ojukwu) black ass in 1967.

Didn't they also tell you that in 2007, Emeka Ojukwu contested for a Senate Seat in his home Constituency and was beaten blue black in his home?

If you don't leave here now, I will deal with you mercilessly.

You mean Ojucrock aka usain bolt
