You've never made any meaningful contribution on this forum before. Shame on you

KingJa:


You guys are just doing comedy now, you have no sources to back up your concocted stories, all of a sudden you’re trying to derail the argument by asking me irrelevant (strawman) questions about what I’m smoking? jokes!

SLAP44:


You are just talking a lot of bull crap, are you drunk? Take alomo bitters.

T9ksy:



No, am not but meanwhile back at the ranch, do you have any proof to debunk my assertion, above?

If yes, please state it here for all to peruse else STFU.

SLAP44:


Which assertion is that?

Bola146:
Hummmm...

Nobody has time for this over-beaten and concluded hook-switch.

YorubaHero12:


Stop saying nonsense and see where Gowon released Awo.

When Awolowo was sentenced to prison, a lot of Progressives were shocked, some died instantly and some became sickly! Some people(Bishops and Statesmen) went to beg the Central Government of Zik and Balewa. The Government agreed to free Awolowo but, knowing fully well that Awolowo would not agree, they said his wife HID must come to beg the government and after that, Awolowo would be freed. The aim was to put Awolowo's wife pictures begging the government on front pages of major newspapers.
The 'Eminent' men went to meet HID and persuaded her to beg the government. HID thanked them all but said she could only do that if her husband permitted her, if not, she would not. Recall in 1986, similar offer was made to GMB's former wife but she fell for it, Buhari later divorced her.
The eminent men went to meet Awolowo in prison and begged him to allow his wife beg the government, they cited many verses from the Bible(Read My March through Prisons or Travails of Democracy and the Rule of Law by Chief Obafemi Awolowo). Awolowo, in reply, thanked them very well but declined. He said "my wife beg who exactly? Will she kneel down or prostrate? Beg for what offence exactly? That I plotted a Coup? That's ridiculous! You're men of God, you should know that God does not not encourage people to bow to injustice...."....
*Awolowo allegedly said and I quote " I believe I should not be in prison but here I am, the only Premier that ended up in prison for no reason.* *_If we are confused about my innocence, let God be the Judge.*
*_If truly I did what they accused me of, I will not come out of this prison alive but if I am innocent, I will not spend my life here in prison, I will come out and as the Lord lives, I won't meet any of those who conspired against me alive......._* Thank you gentlemen for your visit, I wish you journey mercies.... "
By the time Awolowo was released from prison few years later by Yakubu Gown, all those that conspired to imprison him, Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, Akintola and the rest had been killed in a coup.
You live on the earth, you eat rat, you live on the earth you eat fish, you live on the earth you do evil, the judgement is in the earth.... Earth the killer!
The rest is history!

This is one story where you don't need source.
The simple question to ask is how is it possible that Gowon, who was barely a week in power and not recognized as head of state in the East, managed to free Awolowo who was in Calabar prison? The only person that could have released Awolowo was Ojukwu. Even the so called video was Awolowo meeting Gowon shortly after his arrival in Lagos.

KingJa:


Gowon’s soldiers freed him.

But let’s say we go with your version, provide the source where Ojukwu said he freed awolowo. Provide us with evidence that he did free awolowo.

You’d have to do more for us to believe the words of a coward that ran and abandoned his people to die.

Topsic70:

Lolz......can u just imagine, from d mouth of an 'educated' individual in d 21st century!

C'est finis.

His perpetually lying fathers told him ojukwu freed awo without any tangible evidence contrary to pictiral and video evidence to d contrary showing Gowon releasing him.
You are trading words with a wrong customer: they'd rather believe d lies of their fathers than a million proofs

T9ksy:



If you don't know THEN you will never know.

May I suggest you stick to the romance section, where am sure your "contributions" will be most appreciated.

gidgiddy:


Awolowo was in prison in Calabar, but the Video shows Gowon releasing Awolowo in Lagos. May be you can explain that one to me?

You are not adding up...

How believable is it that Gowon, the military head of state, would leave his official functions in Lagos and drive all the way to Callabar to free Awo?

Is the natural thing not for Gowon to have given the orders for Awo's release and had him brought to his office at Dodan Barracks if he wanted to see him?

The video was another event or it was simply stage-managed to mislead the gullibe into believing a pre-set narrative....

YorubaHero12:


Shut up! Don’t disturb me with this jargons.

Bring one news from a reputable media source that claimed Ojuku released Awolowo. A reputable media source.

Don’t you bring that rubbish statement from Ojuku here. Bring from newspaper that have existed before 1966 to give us a better view of the purity of the news. At least Ojuku releasing Awolowo will be a breaking news and he will do photo ops to showcase that. Which new medium covered the release? Where is the video? Which news journal documented it? Have you ever asked yourself this question?

If you can provide any source within the league of the New York Times, The Guardian, Britishpathe, and etc that are international news that have existed since the 1860s here, then I will personally apologize to you and delete all the news I‘ve posted.

Note: The video is from Britishpathe, they are affiliated to Reuters then and that video is from their archive. They are British video reporting platform that documented the First World War too. So you should know they have been around for a long time.

Whether you come as LegendHero or YorubaHero, it will make no difference....

I have refuted this copy and paste style of yours time and time again but it appears you like sounding like a broken record.

Why would a sensible person base their argument/defence on an off-hand extraact written over 50 years ago?

You really need to try harder..
