Eziachi:

You are not wrong there, how can you understand Ojukwu?
If you do, it means you needed a degree to understand your heroes NADECO in the day and vampire at night in Aso Rock.
So the difference between Ikemba and your heroes like OBJ/Danjuma is very simple- He spent his inheritance for the general freedom of his people and your heroes stole your present and the future of your grandchildren.

guy, u are taking this thing too seriously. u r too emotional and lashing out anyhow. i didn't say anything negative about Ojukwu even though i'm not a fan of his nor is he my hero. but i was surprised at his health even though he had a relatively peaceful life compared to others like Obj (whom you called my heroes ) who went to prison at the age of 58. it will do well for you to face the fact the Ojuku is a controversial figure in Nigeria and there's nothing you can do about it. Even jesus christ had ppl who wished him death. high blood pressure is bad for your health

Ojukwu or any Eastern authority did not object to it.

So when the same Federal Govt under Gowon (Northerner) ordered his release what makes you think your coward Ikemba had any valid reason to object?

The Federal government of Tafawa Balewa (a Northerner) threw Awo in jail.

If Ojukwu rejected Gowon's order to release Awo, there was nothing Gowon could have done about that.
He was not in control of the East, Ojukwu was.
As for Awo's suicide, it is public information.

but why would Ojukwu refuse? he had no interest in Awo being in jail or otherwise. so you expect us to thank him for just doing his duty that he could have ignored? since Gowon couldn't dictate to Ojukwu, why didn't Ojukwu just release the innocent man before Gowon gave the order. That would have been very nice of him.

abadaba:

dyckhead, you are wrong. A lot of easterners do respect Awo but the manner which led to his death is what they do not like. Ask every easterner about death by commiting suicide. In the east, it is a taboo to commit suicide.

but why do Ibos have to lie just because you don't like the man? Must you continue to lie that he commited suicide?

Lagcity,

That's the point! Ojukwu's benevolence to Awo, as onlytruth wants us to believe, was an independent decision for goodwill to the man.
The real goodwill and show of independence would have been to say no, there's no place for him in Calabar. Also, to the point you made, to have issued the order independent of Gowon and release Awo.

I stiil want to know from Onlytruth what altaernatives are open for Ojukwu to rebel the release order?

somebody said something about educative, he should have known the kind of thread he visits here to get such! as far as this kind of thread is involve, you see frustrated women and men in life.
you can notice one woman who first post here,she always show how her real life is 

Back to ojukwu and his quote sth like "we dont need aids from the British. They want to fatten us up so that they can kill us".

Ehrrm, the dude ran to IVC to enjoy 5meals-a-day lifestyle while leaving his people to perish. The man cruel sha, no wonder his lifestyle circulates around the hospital. Living dead indeed.

Ghanaians are insulting Nigerians, but they're more familiar with Yoruba.

Yoruba is well known across West Africa. I thought we established that history on NL. If not, WTF are you ppl learning from this site, apart from "Yoruba is bad "Yoruba is our enemy" etc?

God it's great to be Yoruba. Where is my agbada, I must dance to Sunny Ade tonight o

oh my God!

but they're more familiar with Yoruba.

Kill his @55 in jail, and NOTHING would have happened. 

Calabar was under the Eastern Nigerian government. It only came under Gowons control after it was invaded and captured by the Nigerians in late 67.
If Ojukwu wanted Awo dead, he would have seen to it that the old bat never made it back to Oduduwa land.

Awo lived mainly because the Easterners were not as wicked as their Yoruba counterparts.
Imagine if Zik was in jail in Ibadan! The Yoruba's would have found one way or the other to ensure he never returned to the East. They would foist his death on Aboki as usual. Aguiyi Ironsi was felled in Ibadan of all parts of Nigeria. Why Ibadan?
Me sef dey smell rat because these ofes can kill their own brother (Fajuyi) just to get Ironsi. Pure speculation of course, but my nose never fail me.

Onlytruth,

So why did he not?

Ojukwu did not kill Awo because Ojukwu is not Yoruba; he is Igbo. We don't fight undeclared wars.

As at the time Awo was in jail, Easterners did not habor any ill feelings towards Yoruba; in fact Ojukwu called Awo papa.
You don't kill your "papa"; but alas, the "papa" ended up stabbing the "son" in the back in a typical Yoruba fashion.

I can almost assure you that some wise Easterners must have advised Ojukwu to the contrary about Awo (we don't lack guys like moi in Igboland ), but Ojukwu must have overruled them.
I'm sure that one of Ojukwu's greatest regret would be letting Awo leave the East unscathed.
This is a lesson in treachery that Ndigbo must never forget.

At least we could have used that old bat as chip to whip the Yoruba in line.

You are a fool!

Ojukwu could not stab Awo in the back and that's the man who clearly told him to abandon war efforts, but he stabbed Banjo in the back. Banjo was the one who kept with him even when the war turned sour. You are a fool!

Now et me tell you why he dared not harm Awo, even if he wanted to.

In the immediate days after July coup, Murtala was putting resource together to march to Enugu, particularly for Ojukwu because the Northern officers had enough of him. What did Ojukwu do? Murtala was restrained in Lagos and persuaded to give up the march to East. Meanwhile, een thugh Murtala was not coming, the fear of such a confrontation had gripped Ojukwu and he abandoned post and fled to Onitsha to hide in undisclosed place. How could an Ibo officer on his own soil, on his Iboland, hide from the threat of a Northerner coming to fight him on his fathersland?

Anyway, this fear never left Ojukwu, he dreaded the consequence of harming Awo.

Ojukwu was not the onlly Ibo officer that fled posts mind you. Even Ironsi fled, Zik, Okpara. They all abandoned positions.

Now I dare you to name one Yoruba officer that abandoned or fled post in face of the assaults.

Who is a coward, Ojukwu or Awo, Zik or Awo, Okpara or Awo?

If Ojukwu had harmed Awo, I guarantee you, Enugu and Ojukwu with his beard would have burnt much earlier than 67.

One more time, you are a fool!

^^

You can believe whatever you want. Biafra (Eastern ) soldiers marched all the way to Ore, and was betrayed there by Banjo ( a Yoruba coward). I wonder what could have happened if that force was under an Igbo son. Your Gowon would have fled North.
Your Northern officers were "planning to march" on East, but couldn't do it without foreign help. We marched towards the seat of government in Lagos without that help.

As for Awo, let me tell you now. If the East was under someone who understood Yoruba mindset, your Awo would have been fed to the dogs and NOTHING would have happened. 

As for Yoruba officers fleeing their positions, we all know that the next highest ranking officer after Ironsi, in the Nigerian army (a Yoruba) fled and ran all the way to Britain and never came back.
The rest of your soldiers simply opened their nyash for aboki to f0rk.
Awo toyed with the idea of asking Northern troops to leave the west but coward down when the Northerners laughed him to scorn.
