Tribute To Ojukwu, Nine Years On by gidgiddy: 12:56pm On Nov 17, 2020 |
It has been almost 9 years that the Lion of Biafra passed on. This is my tribute to him Eze Igbo gburu-gburu, Ikemba Nnewi, Dike na agha. When all others chose to bow to the caliphate, you chose to stand up and declare the freedom of your people When all others chose the easy route of slavery, you rose up like a man to lead your people in a war of liberation Despite being outnumbered, outgunned and under very difficult situations, you kept the dream of an independent home land for your people alive for 3 years You fought when others surrendered without a fight, you stood up when others kneeled, you went for freedom when others went for slavery. Today, you have been vindicated. Nigeria turned out to be what you said it would be, an unworkable failed state. You failed in your mission to get us freedom but nobody can deny you did your best Adieu Ohamadike, 9 years on. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu November 3rd 1933 to November 26th 2011 6 Likes 2 Shares

The man that led his people to war and ran away at peak of war. Later came back after the war, went to meet Buhari in Daura to pledge his support for one Nigeria. Summary of his life. 4 Likes |

Why do igbos celebrate this dude? Do you know that he deliberately refused international aid for his starving subjects so he could take pictures of hunger stricken igbos to gain sympathy. He willingly sacrificed 3 million (1/4th of then igbos) people for that purpose. He later wanted to be president of the same Nigeria he hated,but his people chosed a Fulani man instead. Lol 5 Likes |

YouAreFinished: Does this story sound right to you? He held up aid to get pictures? Do you really think it is difficult to get pictures of starving children? There is no war now but I can get pictures of starving children, not talk about when there is full blown war The 3 million people who died were killed in the name of "one Nigeria" How can you know why Igbos love Ojukwu, you have never come close to fighting for an independent home land What you Nigerians do is to answer the name Lord Lugards girlfriend gave you, and claim the country Lugard created, as your own 5 Likes 1 Share |
